HEW HEWS OF TESTERS Dr. George B. Loring Proved to Be True Prophet. Head of Bureau of Agriculture From 1881 to 1885 Foretold the Wonderful Future of the Great Northwest. By E. J. EDWARDS. Before the fedetal government es tablished the department of agriculture, with its head a member of the cabinet, the country had a bureau agriculture. From 1881 to 1885 this taireau was headed by Dr. George B. Loring of Massachusetts, his ti’le be.ng commissioner of agriculture, and :e it was who made his bureau o! uch importance that it last congress lecided to create the present agricul‘ural department. Dr. Loring was a cholariy man and an astute politician, s well as a scientific agriculturist He was of powerful physique, in build ind stature being almost like President Garfield. He wore decided side vhiskers, being ore of the last ol prominent public men to retain that tanner of trimmln ■: the heard which. few years earlier, hid been very opular. In July of 1883'I met Dr. Loring It I St Paul. He was on his way back to •Vashlngton after a prolonged and very thorough stud- of agricultural onditicns. present rnd in prospect, in he northwest.

We use 40 to GO Carbon Steel for Posts and Top Rail, others deem common gas pipe (even second hand! good enough. We put more cable line wires in our Fabric, which gives it greater strength and compactness, and makes it the heaviest made. We overlap our pickets at the top in such a manner that it is impossible to bend their tops. We use the lead annealing process in the manufacture of our wire which makes it tougher, and we double galvanize it that it may have a long life. We use malleable iron for post and line rail ornament*. Therefore they do not break. We use extra heavy cast post bases, which hold the Fence perfectly. Our top rail passes through intermediate line rail ornaments and extends from one corner, end. or gate post to another corner, end, or gate post. Tliis insures a perfect aud lasting alignment of the Fence.

COURT HOUSE NEWS Gert Reynolds Case Will go to the Jury About 4:00 O'clock Today. BONDSMEN WANT OFF _ . I t . M. Schirmeyer Appointed .Administrator of Wilhelmina Gallmeyer Estate. " — - The case of Gert Reynolds, who, with “John Jones," was indicted, for conspiracy to steal, will go to the jur;. about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The evidence in. the case which began trial Monday morning, was completed t'..imorning about 10 o'clock and was followed by the arguments' of the attor- ; neys, and the instruction of the court. The chief witnesses were those of the state. The defendant did not take the I ; witness stand, and the only witnesses ,of the defense, it is said, were thus ; for character proof. This morning, \ John Everett and J. M. Mille.r who were Reynolds' bondsmen, asked to be ■ released, and as none had been secured in their place at time of going i to press, the defendant will probably j be a guest at the jail tonight. Will Ward, indicted fur conspiracy to commit grand larceny, found bondsmen, in the stead of T. H. Raltzell, who asked to be released Tuesday, and Ward was given his freedom. Peter Soldner. administrator of the Ferdinand Fox estate, filed final report, and notice was ordered returnable March 25th. The sale bill filed by C. D.

SERIOUS Ward “Daddy” Cline is Lying at the Point of Death from Dropsy. RESPECTED CITIZEN Has Been Retired Several Years—Whole Life Spent in This County. ' Ward Cline, commonly knowp ns . “Daddy" Cline, is suffering at his ■ - home on High street, the first house i north of the Clover Leaf railroad, with i a complicated disease which is thought to be that of dropsy. Last' 1 night hl_. condition was very serious | and it was thought that he would dip. I However, thir morning ho was a little better and the worst, while not expect- , cd immediately. Is feared as the culmination of the disease. For years “Daddy" has been well known throughout this part of the - ■ county, having been employed the •lets'ter part of his life with the KrickTyndall company Several years ago he was compelled to quit work o« ac- ■ count of old age since which time he has lived a retored life at his home on High street. He is now seventy-six yearr of age i and is growing very feeble . and only i . on very mild days could he stand the trip to town, although he was invariably in the town, meeting old friends . on any day that he could possible - make the trip. s CONTRACT IS CLOSED f Mr. Duetch of Cleveland, Ohio; Mr.

,ii All are intertwisted and interwoven to make a strong weave. The inter- ' locked and overlapped arch of thp picket makes it Impossible to bend the tops out of line. Notice the double picket running full height of Fabric ' in this design. It is unquestionably the strongest fotmation possible, and we commend it to your judgment. ’ We have a heavy cast collar which thoroughly clamps the post to bases: which makes the post setting very strong. We thoroughly paint all parts of Fence, except Fabric, before it leaves our factory, and furnish extra paint to touch it up after erection. , All posts and line rail ornaments are finished In silver bronze or white enameled as desired. We build it accurate to measurements given, and furnish very plain instruction telling how to erect. Therefore, it is easy to place in position, and no matter how little experience you have had, it is sure to be perfect ■ We could name many more reasons, but the above have made us many friends in the past and are securing us orders over competition every da'..

Baum of Chicago, and another man, making a trio of an advertising agency, were in the city and closed a contract with the Leah Medicine company for the purchase of a large j amount of the company's products, which the agency will sell in Cleveland, Ohio. They purchased the supply outright from the company and will push the sales for themselves, the Leah Medicine company being thus wholly to the good as their sales are made direct to these men who sell them on their own account. Ehch of the men agreed to put a thousajjd dollars into the sales, and if successful in their Cleveland venture, will push the medicine sales into others of the large cities This means a great rush for the I-eah MedKlhe company.
