What might have been a very dis astrous fire last Saturday was prevented by prompt action, and the west end of town saved from destruction. An extra stock train going east set fire tpthe eouth of S.

They' left their teams standing,! secured buckets and soon had, the fire out. An alarm was given up town but before any one arrived they had it under control.

This is the first tria. t. vaeaaeiss lathe Meav tberssigastisa of Beer and T Vr in ng. In the rational use of a mild, fer- tted beverage like Columbus lies the real solution of the probttn of true temperance iu driaHng. The primary object of 'drink in to, quench the thirst and beer accom plishes that better than any other beverage. It ia a light stimulant not a stnmg-iatoxicaat, and doss not fire the brain as do distilled liquors. Besides, it is a liquid food aid builds up the body. x cmvim i m i I JlftlleV The modern public demands a mild beer. Columbus beer coutaina but little more than three per cent of alcohol, ita alcoholic strength being only about one-half that of most beers that were brewed a few years ago. Our beer is cleanly brewed from pure vegetable producta aad thor oughly ripened before it is sold for Collins Brewing Company. - Creston went in the drug store at Cres ton and inquired the price of sulphur. "Ten cent per pound," said Dr. Arrow smith, the manager of the store. "Isn't that pretty high?'' asked the customer, why, I can get it from the Montgomery Ward for aeven cents." 'You can get it in bell for nothing," answered Doo. "and you won't have any freight to pay, either." Word has been received by relatives and friends in Humphfey of the marri age of WiU Lang and Mies Mary Thille which took place in Los Angeles, CaL. yesterday. Both t parties are well and favorably known in Humphrey and they have many friends here who join the Democrat in extending congratulations. The bride ia a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Thille, formerly of this place, and the groom is a son of Mr. and Mm. John Lang of Humphrey. Mr. Langia in the employ of the Well Fargo Express Co. at Los Angeles. Him Anna 8upanchick. of this place, was married on Wednesday of this week at Columbus. Ohio, to Anton Boesch. The bride left Humphrey n couple of weeks ago for Columbus, but only A few of her intimate friends knew why she was making the trip. Mr. Boesch is a son of Mm, Peter Supanehiek of this puce, there Core n step brother of the bride. The young man was here a few weeks during the winter to pay his moth er a. visit and it was during this visit that the acquaintance resulted in a love affair and theultinuite marriage, Atn meeting of the fire departaient Tuesday night to.deoide as to whether or not n three day tournament would be held in Humphrey in July, the sol iciting committee reported that between 970oand 180b had been, raised. This amount was considered insufficient to meet the ' requirements of n three daya tournament no the meeting adjourned' until Friday night of thia week to give the soliciting committee further time to eeeure more money. The last year Humphrey celebrated the Fourth of July, about 925 was raieed.eo it seems to us that a half more than thia ought to be easily rained for a three daya tournament any day of which would be equal to a 4th of July celebration.

The country Is to? offer other advan tages to the educated man than mere ly to be a good farmer. There are good opportunities for leadership on PMic factions probably better op-, portunlty aad withleas competition than In the great cities. The fact that dty representation la Increasing In the legislatures should make the able country representative mora of n marked sua. The growth of. the insti tute movement of the grange and oth er rural, organisations, gives fresh op portunity to develop leadership of n high order. It would seem that by the nature or the progress we axe making, the college man must go to the farm. In fact college -men have been going back from the beginning of the agri cultural education movement Statis tics show that n large percentage actually have returned' to farming, and this In spite of the fact that cities have been growing with marvel ous rapidity, and that the whole aya tern of agricultural colleges aad ex pertinent stations 'has been developing and calling for men. Considering the limitations under 'which the agricul tural colleges have developed, without sympathy, with the indifference and sometimes the opposition of educators the men who should have known better with wholly inadequate funds. It Is little less than marvelous what they have accomplished within a gen eration. It Is probable that the pro portion of students of the leading ag ricultural colleges, who now engage la agricultural pursuits, is greater than students of that of colleges of law or of other professional colleges who fol low their chosen profession. No one now questions the value of education to a lawyer or physician; why question its value to a farmer? The educated man will go back to the farm If he is fitted to be a farmer. cribner's Mag azine. ' THE ORIGINAL "MR. DOOLEY." Character Made Immortal by Finley Peter Dunne. V The original Mr. Dooley, now gone his way, was a character well known to George Ade, John McCutcheon, .Vance Thompson aad many other Chicago newspaper men long before Peter Dunne made him u national celebrity. It waa Vance Thompson, by the way, who swooped down on the old gentleman In a aleepy hour, borrowed two dollars from him be fore he lightly realised It and van ished again, Into the outer darkness while he was still rubbing bis eyes. This little episode he subsequently referred to as "th hurricane touch." Similar anecdotes of the old man'a wit are cherished aa particular pos sessions. George Ade has one that he entitles "human gratitude." Late one night he was surprised to find the proprietor asleep behind his own bar. On being roused, that worthy showed a marked disinclination for business and n strong desire to be let stone So Ade -pulled down the blinds, stacked up the cuspidors, locked the cash register and called a cab. With some difficulty he elicited an address and then for what aeemed hours they jounced over out-of-the-way streets until at last the cabbie drew up before a ramshackle little box of a frame house with a stairway running up the outside. All this time the passenger had slept sweetly. Out of the cab and up the rickety stairs, puffing and blowing, Ade bundled his charge. On the top step he lost his footing and the two of them rolled 'higgledy piggledy to the street The old gen tleman sat up regarded.Ade with the utmost indignation, and spoke the first words of the evening: Marge," said he "ye thripped me." entry Needlessly Worried Charles Allen, a negro trusty at No. 3 police, station In Annourdale, waa a member of the Twenty-third Kansas regiment which went to Cuba during the Spanish-American war. says the Kansas City Star. While he scrubbed the floor of the police station recently he told how Lem Thompson, another negro In the same regiment killed a supposed Spaniard. It happened while the regiment waa doing garrison duty at San Louis d Cuba. Thompson was' on guard one night While he walked past a ham boo brake he heard something moving about In the tall grass. It was In the enemya country and Lem sup posed that he was about to encounut a Spaniard. "Halt!" cried tun guard as he raised his gun. , On came the Spaniard, paying nc attention to the command. "Boom!" Thompson fired, threw down his gun aad started toward the garrison. Whan the soldiers heard the noise-and rushed out they met Thompson running toward them. T killed .a Spaniard down there In the grass,' he said. When the soldiers approached the bamboo they heard a rustling sound la the grass. "He's still Hcktag one of said.
