Qounty Treasurer Owen received astate warrant for $2,390, as pay- ment of taxes of foreign insurance companies for the past two years. A big rain Thursday of last week drowned out the ElDorado picnic. That was too bad, as arrangements had been made for a big time and a large crowd. E.T. Burge, a prominent young democratic farmer of the Virgina neighborhood, formerly of Walaut township, favored us with a pleasant call and had the Trves sent to his address. George Morgan, of Omaha, steal- ing a ride on the trucks of a freight car, displayed wonderful nerve. After having his feot cut off by the wheels he rode from McCook to Benkelman, | & distance of fifty miles. We were complimented by a very pleasant call from Mrs. M. J. Crow, &@ wost excellent lady of Ballard. She enrolled her name for the Tres and also the name of her son, J. D. The residence of Judge Noah M. Given, at Harrisonville, was struck by lightning one day last week, tear- ing out the south end of the build- | ing and eeverely shocking the fam- ily. F.R.

Cheverton Bros. have harvested so far this season 300 tons of hay from their farm, near Rich Hill, says the Review. They will begin on the Walker ranch this week. We pre- sume this is bottom grass these gentlemen are harvesting. John Armstrong, a prosperous farmer over in the neighborhood of Hume, says the hay crop is becom. ing one of the best, quickest market- ed and most profitable of the county. Some farmers, he says, re- alize $14 per acre for their hay trop. The citizens of Adrian banqueted the teachers attending the Ibstitute Tuesday in a grove at the residence of George Brundidge, one and one half-miles east of town. A grand free supper was spread in the grove and it is needless to say a splendid time was had. Our popular county treasurer, A.B. Owen, with his family Sun- dayed at his old home near Altona. He says he never saw corn a better color, andis clean and doing well, but uafortunately a majority is Jate and need continued rains to make corn. The Adrian Journal says: “James Allen bas threshed his flax crop and it yields twelve bushels to the acre and was excellent in quality.” The entire flax crop of this county this season is better than for many years and if the price is right will bring lots of money to the county. J. E. Kash and Gus McAninch, |two prominent Johnstown business | men, brought down a load of pro- duce Tuesday.

The wall to the new addition being put to the Butler Cash De partment Store building is about half completed. Mr. Adair, who is to be manager of this store, hopes to throw the doors open for business abcut the middle of August, provid- ed the improvements being made to the building can be completed in time. While the Mayor is ordering the weeds cut, which, by the way, is very commendable, likewise, should order that the trees be trim- med. On many of the streets the limbs are so near the ground that ons can scarcely drive a buggy along. Then, too, the street is so shaded that it takes a week to dry out after arain. The trees should be trim med as well as weeds cut. A warant for the arrest of Gov. Tanner, of Illinoie, has been issued by the game warden of Colorade. In violation of the game law, the Gov- ernor, while hunting in that state, is accused of killing one four pronged buck and one young deer out of sea son, The penalty for each offense is a jail sentence of from ten days to six months or a fine of from $10 to $500 or both. A fire supposed to have been caused from spontaneous combustion destroyed the C. H. & D. elevator at Toledo, Ohic, Sunday. The loss on the building and contents will reach nearly $1,000,000. There was 900,- 000 bushels of wheat in building at the time of the fire. The company will loose about $75,000 on the building, while the consinment of wheat will be almost a total loss. The Beacon says Robt. Pearson, of Foster, has been leasing land east of town for the purpose of sinking a deep shaft to secure coal. It is said the vein of coal lies about 100 feet from the surface. Work on the Crawford farm will be begun with- out delay and sixty miners put to work. Mr. Pearson, it is said, rep- resents the Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. By order of Judge Graves, Sheriff Mudd has placed a guard at the jail, J.B. Angle being the man selected. A large number of prisoners are confined in the jail and seyeral of them are desperate fellows. One of the prisoners confined has escaped from jail four different times, so as @ precautionary measure the judge and sheriff thought it best to take no chances of a jail delivery. Dr. A. P. George, superintendent of the Missouri Sunday School As- sociation, spent Tuesday in the city and held three meetings,in the Bap- tist church. At 2:30 a children’s mass meeting, at 3:30 a chalk taik and at 8 he delivered an addrese. The doctor is one ef the foremost Sunday School workers in the state and gives his entire time to the cause. A. G. Wilson, a wealthy and highly esteemed citizen of New Home, paid us his respects and had the dates on his paper set abead. Mr. Wilsen is a gentleman who has pronounced ideas at all times, and the courage of his convictioas.

Hazell was made second choice of that county. Mrs. Robert Deacon entertained a large party of lady friends alfresco, at the beautiful private park of Mrs. N. B. McFarland, on Friday after- noon. Settees, rugs and hammocks were arranged about for the comfort of the guests, and various games were enjoyed. The lunch was elab- orate and elegant, served in dainty paper boxes tied with ribbons anda nosegay laid thereon. | | The saying that misfortune never comes singly, is illustrated by the resignation of Secretary Alger almost immediately following the newspaper correspondents’ exposure of condi tions in the Philippines. The misfortune in both cases is to the administration. Unless public sen- timent changes, the tide which is now setting in will sweep the Mc- Kinley administration—war policy, trusts, gold standard and all—out of power in 1900.—Lamar Leader. The Spaniards were guilty of “griminal aggression’ when they were trying to subjugate the Cubans but the Americans who are engaged in a similar undertaking in the Phil- ippines, are animated by a more worthy object. They are simply trying to promote ‘benevolent as similation.” This is simply another very forcible iliustration of the truta that it makes a great deal of differ ence as to whose ox is gored.—Eldo rado Sun. Judge Graves, besides being one of the best circuit judges in the state, is something of a farmer. We judge this by the sample of splendid pota toes he sent to our house to give our “kids” a equare meal.

The army worms have made their appearance in Vernon county and are doing a lot of damage to Dover and Drywood townsbips. They are sweeping everything green before them Ai field of corn of forty acres is reported to have been half eaten te the ground. The corn was small but they are damaging the more ad- vanced crops. Cane is being dam- aged badly. So far as is known the ravages of the army worms extend over several sections of land. The} first discovered was a week or ten days since. The heavy rains does net seem to have avy effect towards | checking them. Mrs V. L Jobnson came home) Miller, living east of bere, and after and combination to his safe. It was refused and tbe burglars piled mat- tresses and bed clothing on their helpless bodies, saturated the mass with kerosene and were about to light it when the old man weakened and accompanied them to the store where they made him unlock the safe.
