The scar on Farr’s arm made by the dog bite is said to have become red and luflamed If his condition will permit, he will be taken east within the next two or three daysfor treatment ata Pasteur institute.

The Jewell Republican says: “We would like to see one Kansas county settled entirely by the mail order people, and see what would happen. The stores would stand it as long as they could, then move away. Banke would close their doors. The news- papers would heve to quit. The hotels would go out of business, the mechanics move away, schools and churches dwindle, sidewalks go to wreck, buildings would become vacant, unpainted and dilapidated, etrangere would take one look and flee. Isn’t that precisely whatwould happen if an entire county were pop- ulated with people who bought ev- erything in Chicago? Who would buy a farm eo located that he could not drive to some sort of a town? A eane man wouldn’t take such land at heif price.. Be a friend to your home town, Mr. Farmer, and it will bea F. D. Farr Was Bitten By aMad/Prices ef Food, Clothing and Other Necessaries are Higher. Washington. July 24 —An official Statement will he made by the gov- ernment within the next few days of the advance in the coat of food, clothing and other necessary supples during the last year. The forthcom- ing’report of Labor Bureau on retati prices for 1905 will show that the cost of meat, flour, vegetables and other articles of food continued {ts upward flight during tho period. A further important statement will be made that there was no corres- ponding increase in wages during 1905 to offset the higher prices. This fs the first time that this report will show during the present era of prosperity an advance in the cost of living without an accompaning gain in wages, This may account ina large part for the tremendious out- pour of complaint, which seems to be general all over the country, that household expenses are running up beyond all reason. Government officlals whose duty itis to collect statistics say they cannot explain why the cost of liv- ing has {increased while wages have remained stationary. Virginia, C. W.

Wivo Tria an Two Uklahoma Men Murdered. July 28.—The i of two desert- ed wagons filled with bullet holes Cheyenne, Wyo, mangled bodies ofa man and a boy has been partly cleared by the iden- ° tifleation of the vietims as Archie Irvine of Cestos, Ok, and hie son pecting them heve fram Baker City, Ore, The murders, it is believed, Were committed by trampe who killed she fatier firat and when the son re- turned over the trail seeking bim killed him also, taking the wagons to Hanna, Wyo, near which place they were daserted. The last heard of the Irvines, slive was June 7 at Point of Rocks, west of Rawlios, Wyo. The finding of a quentity of women’s clothing in the wagon is explained by the fact that Mrs. Irvine was a consumptire and the trip by wagon was being made x for benefit. Shortly before she sanr- ders she lefs the party and went to Oklahoma by train, where she now is. if Although the bodies, the faces of : which were blown away to prevent identification, were found only 4 few days ago, the murders were proba- “ bly committed a month or more ago and there is no clue to trace the mur- derers. Irvine leaves besides his widow another son, Edward Irvine, 4h Kansas City. Ses “The Druggist”
