American Head as Bin as Ever ,
British medical authorities
arc responsible for the state
ment that the average size ol
hats worn by Englishmen hat
diminished a lull she in the last
iilty years. This led to an
investigation of cotiditons on
this side of the Atlantic. It is
gratifying- state , in the words
of one of the largest manufac
turers , that the American head
is as big as ever.
The average American wears
what is known in the trade as a
No. 7 , and has for many years.
It has been noticed that heads
in the south do not average as
large in the cast , while there is
more call for larger sizes in the
west than in any other section
of the country. Mr. Bryan lives
in the west , but that may not
explain the difference.
One manufacturer advanced
the novel theory that the shrink
age in the size of the English-
man's head might not be due
to any excess of modesty , butte
to the decline of the drink habit ,
It is said to be no mere figure
of speech to say that drinking
swell a man's head ; Intem
perance is decreasing in Eng
land , as well as in other coun
tries , and it is possible that this
ingenious explanation covers
the case.
It is more than fair to slate
that the size of the hat docs not
govern the brain power of the
wearer , as any man who wears
a small-sized hat knows. Wm.
M. Evarts wore a 05 hat and he
was never accused of any lack
ol brains. On the other hand
Daniel Webster had a very large
head. Even if it is true , therefore -
fore , that the average English
man wears a smaller hat today
than he did half a century ago ,
it docs not indicate that Ins
mental capacity is decreasing.
Some of the young men who havt
just left college are probablj
wearing a larger hat now than
they will ten years hence , bul
the shrinking process will noi
all'cct their brain power.

The trouble between the cattl *
men and the packers has finally
been settled and the proposec
million dollar packing : house t (
be erected by the packers hai
been given up. Only dairy am
native canncrs will be subject t (
post-mortem examination , a 1
range cattle passing under tin
same inspection as was impose *
before the ruling of the packer :
a few weeks ago. This is a grea
victory for the cattle men. Tin
agreement was reached at a con
fercnce between packers an *
commission men in Chicago re
cently. It demonstrates the fac
that the packers are far fron
having things ; all their own waj
and that the cattle men are some
what stronger than the packers
The ruling has already gone int *
effect and the conditions are nov
practically the same as befor
I I the packers decided to buy sub
jecl to post-mortem only.

Kind Words.
The Nebraska City Tribune
has these kind words and notes
the ability of our towns man ,
C. F. Kcavis in the following :
0 F. Heavis of Falls City was
a pleasant caller at the Tribune
office Monday afternoon. Mr.
Reavis was in town on business
and took the opportunity tc
cross palms with his host oi
friends in this city. Franh
Reavis is one of the ablest of
Nebraska's younger generation
of attorneys and in his personal
characteristics a prince among
men. Were it not for his
superior ability and accomplish
ments , which have , through unreasoning -
reasoning jealousy ranged
against him in his home county
the anvile chorus of small fry
lawyers and disgruntled politi-
cans , Frank Reavis long before
this date would have received
high honors from the people of
Nebraska and would have dis
charged them with signal fidel
ity and success. Unfortunately
he is located within the ter-
ritor of a political feud , where
the knockers would rather see
mediocrity thrive or would
rather see all their principles ( ? )
fail of success than to see a
man of Frank Reavis' ability
and manhood take a well de
served prominence in the affairs
of men. No living person ever
heard Frank Reavis give voice
to such a statement but it is
the opinion of unprejudiced
observers who look on trom the
outside and judge a situation
on its merits.
Lady Somerset's Work.
It was mainly due to Lady
Henry Somerset , who has
earned world-wide iame as a
temperance advocate , and whc
has announced her intention ol
retiring into private life , thai
the homes for inebriates wen
established to which magist
rates now send habitual drunk ,
ards , instead of sentencing
them to a town of imprison
ment. Lady Henry Somersel
has always looked upon drunk
enness as a disease , and not i
crime. Hence the reason whj
she founded her farm foi
women inebriates at Duxhurst
where habitual female drunk
ards live amid charming sur
roundings in delightful cottage ;
and occupy their time am
thought with interesting out
occupations. Something like 8 (
per cent of the women who have
undergone Lady Henry Somer
set's treatment for intemper
ance afterward led sober anc
respectable lives a splendic
tribute , to the efficacy of hei
ladyship's methods. Ex.

Market Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards ,
July 8 , 1907. The liberal supply
of 15,000 , cattle today is partly
due to the opening of the season
for grass cattle , large numbers of
which are included today and
partly to the good market last
week. The best cattle are steady
today , but medium grades , which
includes about all the grassers ,
arc weak to 10 lower. Top beef
steers today reached $6.80 , but
relatively a small proportion of
the receipts are dry lot steers ,
prices on which run from $6.25
upwards.
Steers fed corn on the grass sell
up to $6 , and straight grass steers
from Kansas pasturss bring as
high as $5.20. The settlement
between salesmen and packers re
garding the sale of she stuff will
probably be ratified by the vari
ous exchanges today , and trade
practically on the basis of before
the recent controversy will be
resumed tomorrow. Market on
she stuff is a shade lower today ,
cows selling at $2.50 to $4.65 ,
heifers $3.50 to $5.25 , bulls $2.75
to $4.85 , calves $4 to $6.25.
Stockers and feeders sold higher
last week , but there is a good
supply of that class included
today , and prices are 10 lower ,
stockers selling : at $3.25 to $4.65 ,
feeders $4.50 to $5.10. Some
choice feeders brought $5.40 last
week , favorable corn weather and
the good market on beef steers
acting as incentives to the pur
chase of country grades of cattle.
Half the cattle supply today is in
the Quarantine division , as usual
on Monday. Balance of the week
will likely see moderate supplies
of Southerns , but a good run of
Natives is expected. Shippers
are urged to go slow on cows
for awhile , as packers will snrely
break the market if they can , and
heavy receipts of she stuff will
give them a chance.
Hog supplies have been moder
ate for a week or more , but prices
do make any material advance.
Today , with a run of 6,000 head ,
stronger prices looked logical ,
but Chicago had a big- run and
proved to be too much to over
come , prices here weak to i
. lower , top $6 , bulk $5.90 to $5,95 ,
L Local buyers anticipate libcra
supplies tomorrow , and shoult
they be disappointed the markci
may advance. Indications poim
to a good many hogs in the coun
try , and lower prices seem inevi
table balance of July.
Mutton markets held up las
\ week on moderate receipts , an *
1 prices are steady today , run S.OOl
held. Native lambs sold at $7.6 ;
today , wethers a n d yearling
worth $5.50 to $6 , ewes $5 ti
$5 15 , goats $3.25 to $3.65. Ari
zonas make up bulk of receipts
as Texas offering : are falling off
and Utah had only one shiptnen
here last week , and that wa
goats.

Nervous
j
Worn-Out
If you are in this condition ,
your nerve force is weak the
power is giving out , the or
gans of your body have
"slowed up , " and do their work'
imperfectly. [ This failure to
do the work required , clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. .When the nerves
are weak the heart is unable
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins ; the stomach
ach fails to digest food ; tlie
kidneys lack power to filter
impurities from the blood , and
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
Dr. Miles' Nervine will do it ,
because it strengthens the
nerves ; it is a nerve medicine
and tonic , that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.
"Several years ago I was all broken
down. I was nervous , worn-out , could
not sleep , and -was In constant pain.
I doctored for months , and finally the
doctor said he could do nothing for
me. I began taklnsr Dr. Miles'
Nervine , and used altogether eight
bottles , and I became strong and
healthy , and now weigh 170 pounds. "

druggist , who will guarantee that th
Tint bottle will benefit. If It falls , h
