FOUR CORNERS. Frank Neier has purchased a new Maxwell of the local agent here. Mrs. W. D. Meyers is reported some better at this time, although her condition remains critical.

At the city meeting last Friday night the town board granted W. S. Hamilton a franchise for his light Plant, regardless of the yelp made by the dictator and his henchmen. Jack Schriber contemplates mov-

ing to Lacrosse some time this winter. He will, if the weather continues favorable, build at once. He will follow the carpenter and builders trade. Squire Bussell, the Hanging Grove tp. wolf hunter, has promised the people of North Jasper that as soon as there is snow sufficient he will lend a hand in ridding this section of wolves.

It is reported that Alfred Duggleby has sold his se 14 unimproved land for S9O per acre and reserves the crop of growing wheat. This leaves Mr. Dugglebv 240 acres with the buildings and out of debt. Marion Davis, while driving home Friday night with a team of young horses, was ditched near the old Fisher farm. The team ran away but no great amount of damage was done except giving Marion a good shaking up. The parties went on their way and did not stop to see what damage had been done. A few days ago when passing the school building in San Pierre we were fortunate enough to see Trustee Suit’s device of amusement, the Teddy Toboggan Slide, patterned after the one in which the rough rid ing Teddy slid to his political doom last November. Every time the Dot* tor sees this slide it reminds him of his ideal, his last love —the one who couldn’t “come back.” The second number of the Wheatfield Lyceum course will be given Saturday night. The Gretchen-Cox Concert Co., has been substituted for the regular number which was canceled on account of sickness. Last season the best number was a substitute, and this company is said to be even better than the one of h year ago. So come out Saturday night and give your encouragement to something that will elevate and help build up the social element of the town. A free-for-all tight occurred at the dance hall in Wheatfield Saturday night. Parties from Kouts. Lowell, Kersey, Demotte and other places took an active part. The trouble came, it is said, when the management ordered two or three women from the hall, and for a few moments the hall spelled h —, bloou flowed and cursing and blaspheming shook the old building, w r e were informed. The old saying proved true, that hot all who attend a dance are toughs, but all toughs attend.

GLYCERINE AND BARK PREVENT APPENDICITIS

The simple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka, astonishes Rensselaer people. Because Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower and upper bowel, ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas. It removes such surprising foul matter that a few doses often relieve or prevent appendicitis. A short treatment helps chronic stomach trouble. The INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is astonishing.—A. F. Long, Druggist.

NEXT CAMPAIGN

For President Will Be Won and Lost in the Middle West. The south is secured, as usual, to the Democratic ticket. The east, in all probability, Is secured to the Republican ticket. The next Presidential campaign will he won and lost in the middle west. The Tribune presents this for the consideration of the leaders of the Republican party. It i 3 an obvious consideration. But the obvious has been ignored in politics more than

once. It was ignored in the convention of 1912. If it is again ignored in 1916 the result will be essentially what it was in 1912. Whether there is a large third party vote or a small, or none at all, progressive Republicans, liberal Republicans, or independents will not vote like sheep for any Republican nominee or for any platform. The theory that a humber of pa rty magicians can rub the full dinner pail and summon the fairy success is beautiful hut not reliable. That there is a strong current running toward conservatism In legislation and political action may he conceded. Business conditions, except for war supply, are bad. There is unemployment, stagnation and anxiety. There is fear of the effect upon Anlerran manufactures and business of competition after the war. There is a demand for protective measures of tariff revision, and, if we may borrow the President's term, there is a psychological . condition favorable to Republican hopes. But Mr. Wilson is not going to be an easy man to beat. In fact, unless the present war conditions change materially he will be a difilcult man to beat, and liigh-thanded reaction in the Republican party will make his success almost certain. If Republican leaders propose to organize victory they will remember that neither the United States nor the Republican party stops at the AUeghanios and they will not delude themselves wtlh the notion that the revolt of 1912 was merely a bad dream of the bosses. —Chicago Tribune,
