LOCAL NEWS. Gold Medal flour makes more bread and better bread than any other flour, at the Chioago Bargain Store. The Goodland Herald says the average oats yield in that vicinity is 32 bushels per acre, which is probably about the average in Jasper county. Some fields here, of course, go considerably more than this and some less but the average is from 30 to 32 bushels per acre. A Monticello young man found his best girl dozing in a hammock and she accused him of stealing a kiss. “Well,” he said, “I will admit that the temptation was too strong to be resisted. I did steal one little kiss.” “One!” she exclaimed indignantly, “I counted eight before I woke up.” Republicans of White county have nominated the following ticket: M. B. Spencer, treasurer; John Reames, sheriff; W. D.Wert, surveyer; Dr. Grey coroner; Jacob Moore Joseph Taylor and Geo. L. Schlademan, commissioners. The democrats will hold their convention next Thursday. Opal, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Barkley of Parr, died Wednesday morning after but three days sickness from an attack of acute Bright’s desease, brought on by a cold and congestion.

They will be reviewed by President Roosevelt while there. Joe is now a sharpshooter,and had just returned from the Eastern Division shooting competition, where he represented his company. It is said that the recently failed Home bank of Goodlaud, lost about $30,000 by the Hartley Bros., who blew the money in on the Chicago board of trade some seven or eight years ago. Gilman had allowed them to overdraw their account that much, it is understood. At that time the boys were in the grain business at Goodland and Remington, and it is generally believed that a Remington bank was also caught for several thousand dollars by them. The McCoy bank here also held $1,430 of their paper.

The militia boys are having strenuous times these days. It seems that several of them sold their claims for services in the recent state encampment to Ike Wiltshire, while in camp, that they might have a little more money to buy grub, et cetera, receiving about $7 for what it was expected would amount to about $lO. The amount actually received from the state however, is said to have been but $5.70, and the purchaser now claims the sale included the amount the boys are to receive from the U. 8., also, which t is said they ars prohibited from
