NORTH DIVIDE.
The busiest person on the Di
vide is A. F. Reeves.
The Steltzer boys are all at the
Bixler ranch , this week.
Porty-leven prairie chickens
roost in the writer's cornfield every
day and night and no , shootiu' -
irons handy.
Geo. Moehler is going to have a
new well and a new house at the
same time. Anew woman is like
wise probable. /
•
But little corn has been gath
ered so far as the average farmer
is more than busy with fall wheat
operations.
The recent storm was too much
for our dear old Irish chicken and
the , old gray mare. So much less
for'the assessor.
Roy King will make a neat sum
out of his potato crop , this year.
Roy isn't driving a fast mule to a
new buggy for nothing.
Prank Sherman will occupy the
Rider place the coming year. He
is putting in considerable fall wheat
and , otherwise preparing to move
before long.
It's not every one even in this
year of plenty that can boast of a
new red "vagon , " a fat turkey for
Thanksgiving and some one to cook
it.
It was quite a time we had skir
mishing 3 about to find fagots enough
to j last during the late cold snap.
Wasn't prepared is the way to tell
it.
Strange we should hear nothing
about the little chap that came to
live with Mr. and Mrs. M.E.Piper.
But Morley has been wearing a
brown high hat ever since.
Three bonnets , a fascinator , five
band boxes , a riding habit and two
glove hooks , one side comb , a sail
or hat and nine hair-pins , and a
lot of ribbons are at this place to
be disposed of.
Clara Hanlein writes of their
safe arrival at Tacoma , Vashiug-
ton. Clara will be missed from
the neighborhood in which she has
lived nearly all her life , and espec-
lallv at the old home over which
she has faithfully presided during
the time gone by.
Seems strange , but of late the
place has been well-nigh over-run
with cats of most any kind and
color , and to hear their medley
most any evening is soothing and
quite restful after a day's work era
a trip west of Box Elder.
VAILTON.
Mr. Hawkins has returned from
his western ranch to work 'for Ev-
erist and Rogers.
Seeding progresses rapidly since
the rain , and all are hopeful for a
good harvest in ' 98.
We notice not a few farmers are
in the cornfield during the day
light part of the 24. hours.
We notice some threshing de
layed by the continued rain , but
which will soon be reached with
this pleasant weather.
Election is a thing of the past ,
with some humorous features in
this precinct which might not beef
of special interest to the reading
public.
School commenced on Monday
morning under the management of
Mrs. Pauline Burtless , who was
at the helm in ' 92 in this district
We predict a profitable term.
/
The result in Red Willow county
might have been worse ; but there
is room for great improvement.
Shall we have it , brethren , or must
it grow worse first ?
Royal Bakes the food pare ,
wholesome and dellcioai.

SOEE THEOAT.
In a letter
to Dr. Part-
mandated De
cember 27th ,
1896 , George
A A. Blanchard
of Wadhing-
tonGa , writes :
"My throat
had been m the
habit of getting sore every year
for the last twenty years ; ; and it
any medical skill did me any good
it was so little I did not know it.
Two years ago my wife was dowD
sick two monthstried two doctors ,
but the case was a stubborn one of
female trouble. I found in Pe-ru-
na not only , a good , safe remedy
for sore throat , but one for weak
ness and nervous prostration. I
quit the doctors and purchased a
bottle of Pe-ru-na , and in three
days after my wife got up and she
has been going ever since , and I
have not been bothered with that
bad sore throat. It used to last at
least fifteen or twenty days. Since
we bave used your medicine my
wife has not lost a single day , and
she has gained over fifty pounds. "
In a later letter , July , 22d,1897 ,
Mr. Blanchard writes : "All of the
sickness we have in the family is
when we cannot get Pe-ru-na. We
people in the south think Pe-ru-na
is a God-sent blessing. I recom
mended Pe-ru-na to friends of
mine that had asthma and one bottle
tle cured them. Whenever Pe-ru-
na is used it speaks loudly for it
self. "
Dr. Hartman , the original com
pounder of Pe-ru-na , has a recent
book on chronic catarrh which will
be sent free by The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Co. , Columbus , .0.
Ask your druggist for a free Pe-
ru-na Almanac for 1898. I
COLEMAN.
M. H. Cole hauled off wheat ,
last week.
Quite a number worked the road
on Monday.
Wesley Eozell draws his wheat
to market in a brand new wagon.
J. W. and Russell Corner were
plowing for A. Prentice , Monday.
Will Prentice saw 12 covotes in
one gang. Of course he did not
have his gun.
Mrs. Fred Smith and Mrs.
Thrailkill of Iowa visited friends
here , last week.
Mr. Cumle and Mr. Matthews
of Illinois were looking over this
town. , Thursday.
Now that the election is over
look out for a great calm not suf
ficient wind for a week to turn a
windmill , or gas enough to run the
"littlest" engine.
H. B. Wales has no patent or
trade-mark on his seeder. He sits
in the hind end of the wagon and
sows with both hands while the
boy drives across the field. If
there was a patent on it Milt Cole
might be arrested any time for in
fringement.
The Fusion plurality over Post
will be between 15,000 and 20,000.
There was a deplorable lack of in
terest in the election on the part of
Bepublicans over the state.

RED WILLOW.
There is a surprise party on ]
tapis ; guess whose it is to be ?
There was a tiny party of Miss
Mina Quigley's most intimate
friends at her home , last Friday ;
evening. A wing of a charivari '
party made their appearance on =
the scene , assuming that Mr.
Quigley's people had great hearts ,
and after the invited guests had '
retired to their homes they had a
little party of their own. :
Last Friday evening , Mr. Over-
stake and Miss Nellie Myers were
united in wedlock by Bev. Vivian.
The wedding was a quiet one at (
the home of the bride's brother.l l
Mrs. Overstake has long been a
resident of this precinct , and while
she carries the good wishes of J
most of the community there are
supposed to be more than the usu
al number of broken-hearted
young
men , who feel very sulky over" the
wedding. We presume it was
some of the envious ones who led
the noisy charivari party that "
supped with the wedding party.
There are going to be more wed
dings ; guess whose.

ONE OF TWO WA YS. 1
The bladder was created for one pnrpose , H
namely , a receptacle for the urine , and as such H
it is not liable to any form of disease except S
by one of two ways. The first wav is from imperfect -
perfect action of the kidneys. The second 9
way is from careless local treatment of other
diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the
womb , like the bladder
, was created for one
purpose , and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease , except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very close to
the bladder , therefore any pain , disease or in
convenience manifested m the kidneys , back ,
bladder or urinary passage is often , by mis
take , attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To find out
correctly , set your urine aside for twenty-iour
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and extraordinary - u
nary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root , B
the great kidney , and bladder remedy is
soon realized. If you need a medicine \1
you should have the best. At all drumnsts 1
fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a 1
sample : bottle and pamphlet both sent free by I
mail. Mention The Tribune and send your 1
