Otis Clinkinbeard, Agent The Best Hour of Life is when youdo some great deedor discover some wonderful fact. This hour came to J. R. Pitt, of Rocky N.

when he was suffering intensely, as he says, "from the worst cold I ever had. I then proved to my great satisfaction a what wonderful cold and cough cure Dr. King's New Discovery is. For, after taking one bottle, I was entirely, cured. You can't say anygood of a medicine like thing too that." It's the surest and best remedy for diseased lungs, hemorrhages, lagrippe, asthma, hay fever or any throat or lung trouble.

50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by Easton Pharmacy. The Schooi Tax. Taxpayers of five school districts in this county are still in ignorance as to how much they will have to pay the county treasurer.

County Clerk Niehaus has no word from that many districts as to how much money they will need, SO he can not make out their levy. Each district is supposed to vote the amount it needs at the annual school meeting. These meetings were held throughout this county a month ago, but these five districts are tardy in letting Niehaus know how much they want. Here is what each township will have to pay in addition to the levy of 72 mills, made by the county and state: Alexandria-3-4 mills. Delaware-1 1-2 mills.

Easton-1 mill. Fairmount-1 1-4 mills. High Prairio-1 4-10 mills. Kickapoo-1 1-4 mills. Reno-- 1 mill.

Stranger-2 9-10 mills. Sherman-1 1-2 mills. Tonganoxie-3 1-4 mills. No levy is made in Alexandria, Reno and Tonganoxie townships. Road tax is worked out in these townships, while in the others a levy is made and with it labor is employed to work on the roads.

Here is what cities of the third class will have to pay above the county and state levy: Easton--2 1-2 mills. Linwood-4 mills. Tonganoxie-1 1-2 mills. Besides the township, state and county tax there will be a school tax in each district. Eph Bristow was called to the bedside of his father at Scranton Tuesday.

A Boy's Essay on the Editor. "I don't know how newspapers came to be in the world, and I don't think God knows, for he ain't got nothing to say about them in Bible. I think the the editor is the missing link we read of and strayed in the bushes until the flood, and then came out and wrote the things up and has been here ever since. I don't think he ever died. I never saw a dead one and never heard of one getting licked.

Our paper is a mighty good on, but the editor goes without underclothes all winter and no socks, and pa ain't paid his subscription since the paper tarted. asked if that was why the editor had to su the juice out of snow balls in the winter and go to bed when he had his shirt washed in the summer. Then pa got mad and tock me out in the shed and licked me awful hard. If the editor makes mistakes folks says he ought to be hanged; but if the doctor makes mistakes he buries them and peope dass nt say nothing cause doctors can read and write Latin. When the editor makes there is law suits, and swearing and a big fuss, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and perfect silence.

A doctor can use a word a yard long without him or anyI body else knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another man's wife he charges the man for the visit; but if the editor shou'd go he gets a charge of buckhot. Any college can make a doctor to order, but an editor has to be born. -Ex. LOST -A gold necklace with heart locket bearing the initials C.

Rural Route Carriers Can Admin1ster Oath for Pension Vouchers. Hereafter it will not be necessary for civil war veterans to hunt up the services of a notary public when they want to get their pension vouchers authenticated. An order was issued a few days ago by C. P. Grandfield, acting postmaster general in Washington, by which fourth class postmasters and carriers on rural free delivery routes are authorized to administer these oaths to the old veterans.

This change will be a great help to old soldiers living out in the country, who have heretofore been compelled to come to town and hunt up a notary whenever they wanted to draw up their pension papers to get their pensions. Now the rural free delivery carriers can save them all this trouble. The carrier, under the provision this order of the postoffice department, is entitled to charge a fee of not more than 25 cents. City carriers will not have the power of administering the oaths. Veterans living within the city limits will have either to hunt up a notary, as they have formerly done, or else go to the postoffice, and let the postmaster administer the oath for them.

The new order, however, will make it a good deal easier for the old soldiers, generally speaking. Unscrupulous notaries often relieved the old veterans of a considerable part of their pension money, charging them for every separate operation. Now they will have to pay a maximum of 25 cents for all necessary formalities. Mrs. Scott of Leavenworth is visiting her father, Ike Perry, of Springdale this week.

Easton Defeats Springdale. The Easton second nine crossed bats with the Springdale boys on the Easton diamond last Sunday and defeated them 8 to 2.

Hasty Trial Results in Favor of Jacquot. The Jacquot-Hasty trial, which was postponed last Monday, was called Monday of this week, and owing to Hasty's requesting a jury trial, was continued until Tuesday afternoon, when the case came to trial. Hasty was represented by Attorney J. B. Kelsey, and Jacquot had no attorney.

Jacquot claimed Hasty owed him the sum of $29.48 for merchandise purchased from him, and Hasty. claimed Jacquot owed him $45 for services as a clerk in his place of business. Both parties in the case furnished evidence, and the arguments were very pointed-on several occasions nearly reaching the temperature of the court room, which was in the neighborhood of 95 degrees. The jury was in consultation a little more than half an hour, and the verdict was returned in favor of Jacquot. The jury was as follows: Hugh Boyle, John Allen, Robert Ready, Robert Phillips, B.

J. Potter and Samuel Smith. Hasty has ten days in which to appeal the case to the district court. If the case is not appealed Jacquot will receive Hasty's share of the commission money of the sale of the Asa Errat's property, which was attached by the garnishee. John Bristow Dead.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES. From the Mc Louth Times: Mrs. Addie Sova and son, Paul, of Easton visited this week with her parents, William Waimer and wife. Miss Sara Daniels of Leavenworth and Mrs. Mayme Frost of Easton visited a couple of days this week with their brother, W.

Q. Daniels. From the Jefferson County Tribune: The ball games at Oskaloosa, MeLouth vs. Winchester, in which MeLouth lost two out of three games, netted the teams $315-McMcLouth taking 40 per cent. and Winchester 60 per cent.

From the Leavenworth Times: James Garvey, an engineer on the Union Pacific, had an accident last Thursday evening that might have resulted very seriously. He was driving his engine slowly, when the arm rest gave way and let him fall out of the cab. He suffered sprained knee and a sprained wrist, but besides this and a few slight bruises he was uninjured. (Note: Garvey is well known in Easton, as he quite frequently visits the stores as he passes through Easton on his run. He is an awful large man and is indeed fortunate to escape from the fall with so few injuries.

It is thought that Garvey was leaning as far out of the window as possible to catch a signal from the brakeman and had the most of his weight on the arm rest at the time. At the school meeting held Tuesday afternoon of this week contracts were let to the following parties for the work to be done at the school house: C. C. Jones, sidewalk contract, and John Wilburn the contract for digging the well. Asa Erratt was given the contract for the new building.

The contracts were let to the lowest bidders. The board also decided that it would be impossible to begin school this year before Monday, September 19th.
