Last week's issue of the Minneapolis Messenger prints the following concerning: a case that has caused no end of talk in this community: "The next term "of the district court of this county is likely to have for trial one of those cases which always provokes more or less comment because of its nasti-ness.

W. C. Snowden, living near Vine, in the east part of the county, was arrested a few days ago, on the charge of statutory rape on one Bertha Johndrow, who a few weeks ago gave birth to a child whose father she claims is the defendant Snowden. Statutory rape is charged for the reason that it is claimed that Miss Johndrow lacked a few weeks of being eighteen years of age when the crime was committed, which under the statutes is rape. "The accused is man about thirty years old, is married and hat one child.

The preliminary trial was set for a hearing before Justice 0. E. Griest of this city last Tuesday, and there were quite a number of witnesses from that part of the county present. At the re 8Y i sir j. These ennds ata Imrvrcrn tn'hA Prtnal I "We have a line of the best School Shoes in the county.

L. Price, Pastor. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. New Way of Using Iain's Cough Remedy. Mr.

Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did nofknow what to give it. I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the baby was sucking It would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy is for sale by w. a iiaramonaoc Co.

C. The opposition is makinar a fierce fight on C. C. Towner, republican candidate for- county attorney. Among the strongest accusations they bring against him is that he has refused to prosecute many cases brought to him.

This is a charge to which Mr. Towner can well afford to enter a plea of guilty. A county attorney is more valuable for the cases he keeps out of court than those he tries. have no idea, if you never had experience, how many people are always running to the county attorney with troubles they want righted at the public expense, it is easy to involve the countv in expensive liti gation and neighborhood quarrels. Anybody can do that.

It takes good sense and judgment to keep county litigation within the bounds of decency and accurate justice. Mr. lowner has done this; thmk-inc tax-pavers know it and it forma one of the strongest reasons why they are going to put him in the office for another term.

David Detnch had his wheat crop in the barn. The total loss will be at least $3,000 with $1,000 insurance. The origin of the fire is a mystery. About the ply explanation that seems reasonahla is that laborer's dropped matches somewhere about the premises. Tuesday's Reflector.
