Stone behind the counter Wm. Walker lost 25 head of hogs in the storm. L. R. Cay wood is fixing up his meat market in fine style.

Snow fell all night Tuesday night and the following forenoon. The Industrial Educator and the Farmer both one year for 1,80. Sheriff J. B. Shearer is th busiest man in town this week.

Uncle D. T. Haynes of Kanorado was in the city Tuesday. You will have no trouble to find Simms Keith's ad. orr this page.

Our popular. Furniture dealer, J. TV. Bower, has an attractive "ad" in this issue. If you.

want to know where you can get goods below cost read the Sherman Bank's "ad." Dave Maxedon dropped into our office long enough Tuesday to drop a "cartwheel" on the editor. The Parson has been gone 10 days We publ sh this as an item of news, for nobody has missed him yet. Millisack holds his trade despite the "bankrupt because he buys right and sells accordingly. C. T.

Rule, of Kanorado was over Tuesday and laid in a supply from the Daly stock, for his customers. Undertaker Bower was called to Burlington Monday, to prepare the body of Mr. Ball for shipment to friends in the east. It is hard to find a farmer in Sherman county that hasn't out from 10 to 100 acres of wheat. No telling what they'll have out after harvest.

The all absorbing topic in our city just now is "the Daly failure. As is common in such cases those who know the least about it have the most i say. Our farmer? are jubilant over the splendid prospect for a small grain crop. Never before in the history of this country was the outlook so favorable. About 20 commercial men interested in the Daly failure are in the city.

They want their money and if they dont get it will not feel satisfied without a little "blood." We are glad to know that Tomblin will not loso anything in the Daly failure There will be more than enough to pay out the several mortgages filed against the stock. It was fun to see those long aired New Yorkers wade in mud and water up to their knees through the well drained streets of our city, away out here in drouthy Kansas. We called on Mr. Reynolds to see those new photoes on "Aristo" paper. They are the finest work we ever saw.

It will repay you to call and see them whether you want work done now or not. When our people get all mixed bothered up, they send for J. W. Lewis, and John pours cil on the troubled waters and leaves his client with a light heart and a lighter purse. No use for a long haired New Yorker to tackle J.

for he's woolly and wide out. OKTH BEAVER VALLEY.

Do you believe in the principles of the order? Do j'ou believe the Alliance is able to accomplish its object? Do you believe you are being robbed of your just earnings by a false system of financial and oppressive laws? Do you believe that a united effort upon the part of the people will relieve you and bring prosperity to the country? If you believe in the above then you are a good Alliance man only "in your own mind." Answer these questions: Do you attend the meetings of your Alhance regularly? Do you contribute anything to make these meetings interesting? Do you grumble every time you pay your quarterly dues? Do you believe the men and the parties who oppose the Alliande demands will properly represent you in the Legislature? Do you vote for men who will not pledge themselves to help enact the mands into law? Are you a thorough Allianceman, in thought and action? How do you show your patriotism, with your mouth or by your actions.

If you do not show your "faith by vour works you are not worth a straw The time for sentimentahsm is past, this is the time for action; the real work of the Alliance has iust begun.

News scarce. This storm has stopped the farmers put ting small grain. Rev. J. W.

Camp, aged 43 years. He leaves two children, a girl 16 and loy 13 years of age, to mourn his loss. The children since the aeath of their mother lived with their grandfather, H. O. Jones, of this county, and were present at the death of their father.

Mr. Camp was a member of the Farmers' Alliance and other secret orders, the members of which gave him all the assistance in their power during his brief illness. Mr. Jones, in behalf of the near relatives, wished us to extend thanks to all who were so ready and willing to lend assistance in a time of need. Died.

On Thursday, March 26, of La-grippe, Laura Hamilton, aged 15 years. Laura was the daughter of Mr. and Sirs. C. C.

Hamilton, who live near Goodland. Just entering womanhood with bright hopes, the idol of her paients and a favorite among her schoolmates, Laura was called home. When people have lived long lives of usefulness and in the economy of nature, "wrap their shroud about them and lie down to slumber the world says naught, but when one so promising is cut down in the vigor of youth there's cause to mourn. The parents have the sympathy of all -who know them. Reflections on My Sixty-second Birthday.

by mrs. Sarah F. Thompson. Sixty two years have Sown Have rolled away With their sunshine, and their shads, Since I first beheld the light of day! As my home on earth was made. Now twice these years to me.

will never come, Ape says "life's journey soon with mo will end; May I be ready aud willing when called home, -Is my prayer that to Heaven I send. True, 'tis a sad thought, to think of death Though, then life's toil and daily strife Will all be o'er! As God kindly takes our breath, And transplants us to a higher life. Nay! not so sad! when hopes are bright! Of meeting loved ones that have gone before! Love can never grow cold in that land of light. Where pain and sorroware no more. There's no need of the sun or moon in the land of our God.

Or star to shine forth its silver ray Our Lord God is the light, and staff, To guide and lead us on the way. To that life beyond, may our longing eyes, Look with a calm and patient gaze When this mortal shall in immortality arise And in Heaven, find our last resting plaee. MEETING OF The Mutual Protective BRETHREN In reading the history of the past we are convinced that "in unity there is strength" and fully realize that capital reaches the zenith of its power by the perfection of its combinations. By the power of combinations the prices of our produce are fixed, our farms mortgaged and our homes swept from under as. We should profit by the lessons we have learned and meet organized aggressions and oppression with organized resistance, combinations of injustice with combinations for justice aud right.

It is unjust and unpatriotic for us to allow Shylock under the guise of law to rob our people of their homes. It is gross injustice for the "devil fish" of the money power to confiscate a two thirds equitv of the owner to force the settlement of a one third loan. We are debt paying people, opposed to repudiation in any form, but when deprived of the power, to pay by unjust combinations formed for the purpose of getting our lands and creating a class of wealthy land owners on one hand, and tenant farmers on the other, we believe that justice and equity, requires a unity of action, on our pai in lnsistimr upon our legal rights and de manding more time in which to meet The Mutual Protective our obligations Association offers the only immediate relief for the debt ridden and oppressed people of Kansas. "It asks only justice and will accept nothing less," and proposes to proceed in legal way to defend aud protect the rights of the citizens. Time is the cure for many ills, and with strong and uuit-ed action and more time, thousands of the homes not already sacrificed upon the altar greed and injustice can be saved to their owners.

In order to fully explain the plans and objects of the association, meetings will be held at the times and places hereinafter designated, which will be addressed by some of the most prominent reform speakers of the state. These meetings will be open only to members of the farmers Alliance, Knights of Labor and the National Industrial AllianceT "Each Sub Alliance and local Assembly of the above organization is requested to send at least one delegate for every ten members or fraction thereof. The meetings will begin promptly at one o'clock P. and hold as follows: Decatur, Oberlin. Wed.

April 22d. Thomas, Colby, Friday, 24th. Let each meeting be well attended by Delegates and others who are interested in saving the homes of the people from confiscation by mortgage plutocrats. Come and hear something of practical interest to all. It will be a day better spent than plowing com for another to gather.
