Many of our readers who are ac quainted with Dr. Seymour , the ; eye specialist , who has made reg ular trips through this state for so many years , will be interested in a letter we have recently received from him from Southern California. Those who know the doctor per sonally are aware that he is not in robust health and it will not be surprising that Chicago climate was too seyere on him during the past ' rwinter , from a health standpoint , and in the interests of his family he was strongly advised to seek a milder climate , which he has done. In the following letter he express es his pleasure and gratification in California , and Los Angeles in par ticular , as a city in which to estab lish a home , as well as mentioning the wonderful advantages to be de rived there from a business stand point. Los Angeles , Cal. Aug. 26,1903. From the U. S. statistics Los Angeles has grown faster in the past ten years than any other city in the United States , and now far surpasses Omaha in size and met ropolitan advantages. It promises to equal San Francisco in a very few years as to size and import ance. Los Angeles enjoys many advantages that are hardly equaled , and not surpassed elsewhere in the United States , being situated some twenty miles back from the sea coast in a beautiful valley protect ed by mountains on each side , and has over three hundred days of sunshine every year. Although situated much farther south than Nebraska , hot weather such as you have there is practically unknown here. As for hot nights , they are also entirely unknown here , having slept under a blanket and quilt ev ery night since I have been in the state. "While I am of course , en thusiastic from a personal stand point , I do not wish to make the common mistake of seeing only the pleasant side as everyone knows there must be some disadvantages in all climates , and the one that strikes a stranger the most forcibly on coming here is the dusty ap pearance of the trees , houses , and in fact every object which is not subject to irrigation , or watered by hand. As you know , there is absolutely no rain from early in the spring until late in the fall , and naturally the dust and heat make the leaves of the trees look grimy for a month or two , even though they are perfectly green under the dust. This and the sand fleas have been the bane our existence in what , otherwise , seems to me the nearest an ideal climate of any I have ever visited. I will return to Nebraska on my usual visit , and shall be pleased to see and talk with anyone who may read these letters , if they are inter ested in this country. * Yours truly , Bn. SEYMOUR. JPenbrooh Qnills * Mrs. Hauger visited with her mother a short time since. Mr. Allen and Miss Osburii were out for a buggy ride Sunday. Mr. Grooms and Miss Swain spent Sunday at G. W. Me-b'arland's. A man who sees his own faults and not his neighbors , has purity established deep in his own heart. A slight mistake last week in re gard to Mr. Swain's fruit tree ; the number of apples was 158 instead of 115. The Bake ranch , belonging to D. A. Handcock and located on Seven Creeks , has had several visitors from Mo. 3recently. Mrs. Hittle and Miss Randall went up to Valentine Sunday afternoon. Miss Eandall will attend the Valen tine high school. A man from Springview , we did not learn his name , moved into the neighborhood last week and we ex tend a hearty welcome. Henrich Schwendenmityer and Miss Wilhelmina Scarscenberger were married recently. The minis ter's name was Suberkruppe , wonder er if he got one of those pups that' ' Eev. Eay of Valentine tald about. Mr. and Mrs. Swain recently pur chased a new Kimball piano organ far their daughter Miss Eoxie ; a fine instrument which any young lady could ieel proud of. Here's a clipping from the Port land Argus , hoping the lawyer will get his purp alright : Stole or rund away been loose him about two , tree weeks , bees almost black and white dog , him tail cut off pretty close to my body , somebody find her keep it , I belong to him.

Nellie Jerman was visiting a few o days in Bailey recently. Lulu Sellers and Fannie went a plumbing on the Minnetonka the 7. Ed Weede and his sister Gertie are visiting at Ed Weede's , Sr. from Iowa and Mr. Brock way from Lin coln. W. H. thinks he will have to senc Lee Sellers to the refrum school ; he is away every Sunday. Most parties are through haying in Bailey , although some have two or three weeks mowing yet. Even brief visits at summer re sorts these days convince observing ones that the young men there are of the weaker sex , the good habits and clean lives of the girls and cig- aretts , strong drinks and late hours of the boys explain the causes clear- ly. GUESS WHO I AM. Junior formal Resolutions. ( Continued from last week. ) primary work , which she has done , but from everyone in attendance come forth the same expressions of genuine satisfaction , and may she rest assured that upon the lives of the chilcren of Northern Nebraska will be stamped the example of her life and herOmeth ods of teaching. RESOLVED , That we extend our sin cere thanks to the trustees of the M. E. church for the free use of their church for chapel exercises , enter tainments , lectures and music , and be it further RESOLVED , That we tender this sin cere expression of our gratitude to the citizens of Valentine for their kindness and hospitality. Never have people more cordially opened their homes , their churches and places of amusement than have these people to us , and never were strangers made to feel so much at home in a strange 3lace. The individual efforts of each who has striven to add to our pleasure , the receptions and entertainments given to us so many times will never ie forgotten. It is au interesting fact deserving much emphasis of state ment that the members of the school never enjoyed a more harmonious and profitable summer with the people of : ovvn than the members of the junior normal with the citizens of Valentine. RESOLVED , That the county super- ntendents represented in this junior normal deserve much credit for all they have done to assist the students of the several counties and all the vork dm ing the entire season. RESOLVED , That Miss Zaida Elliott las proven herself an efficient accom ) anistas well as an able and courteous assistant in the musical department of the normal. TEACHERS , A powerful influence is jeing used in Nebraska to strengthen our educational organization , and let us resolve that our work this year will be such , that when June 1904 comes ve will return two hundred strong to renew our school and social relations with the same faculty and the same people. f W.

This great family medicine frees the constipated howels , stirs up the torpid liver and causes a healthy secretion of bile. Thedford's Black - Draught will cleanse the bowels of im purities and strengthen the kid neys. A torpid liver invites colds , biliousness , chills and fever and all manner of sick ness and contagion. Weak kid neys result in Bright's" disease _ which claims as many victims as consumption. A 25-cent package of Thedford's Black- Draught should always be kept in the house.
