WEDNESDAY,-JUNE. 22 1904, Tt is gratifying to not* the pride that many of onr citizens manifest in making their homes and property look attrac tive Many of the residences about town have received new coats of paint and the majority of the lawns are in excellent condition. Harlem has the reputation of being one of the neatest appearing towns in the northern part of the state •nd our town is worthy of all the good that may be said of it. The republican national convention was called to order at noon yesterday at the Coliseum, Chicago. It is the 13th convention of the party, has 908 dele gates and will probably require three days to complete its work. Theodore Booeevelt will be nominated for preei nent Present indications are that Sen ator Senator Chas. W. Fairbanks of In diana will receive the nomination for vice president. Deadlocks in conventions are ex peusive. The Illinois state republican convention had over fifteen hundred del egates and the Cincinnati Commercial figures out that it cost $409,300 merely to hold the convention. If the ex penses of all the candidates during the canvas for the nomination were added it bee cost a great deal over a million dol lars to nominate the republican state ticket there. Many a dollar has gone into the jack pot that should have gone into the soup pot at home. It is now proposed to authorize poet masters and deputies to open letters on which no postage stamps have been placed, to learn the name of the writer and avoid sending it to the dead letter •floe. If all who write would have their name and address printed on the envelopes they nee, as the postoAoe de partment requests, no such trouble would arise. ■ =A FEAAZ - " 1 — WORDS TO FARMERS OF THE VALLEY 3 THE ' * FARMER WITH AN EYE j FOR BU ' LSS ■ v > PURCHASES ♦he McCormick whenever he wants a hinder, reaper, mower, rake, corn cinder, busker and shredder, or other harvesting machine, because, he prefers machines that meet his require ments — machines that give him satisfaction — machines that arc worth every dollar that he pays for them.

Many a man would sacrifice the bis" onit his- mother used to make for the dough that uncle made. A certain Chinook youn^ man told his girl the other night that if she didn’t marry him he’d get a rope and hang him self right in front of her home. “Please don’t do it,” she said, “You know papa don’t want you hanging around here." Seven million acres of land in central and western Nebraska are to be given away in homesteads of 640 acres each on June 28, when the Kindade law, named after its author, Congressman Kinkade of Nebraska, will become effective. Un der it the size of a homestead in any county of the fifth and sixth congres sional districts of Nebraska will be in creased from 160 to 640 acres. Whether the land wil go to settlers or turned over to the great carte raisers, who for many years have grazed their herds on it, and even fenced it off, is the interesting question out in Nebraska. It is esti mated that the land is worth 82 per acre. Startling Evidence. Fresh testimony in great quantity is constantly coming in, declaring Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs, and colds to be unequaled. A recent expression from T. J. McFarland, Bentorville, Va., serves as an example. He writes: "I had drouobitis for three years and doctored all the time without being benefited. Then I began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery, and a few bottles wholly cured me.” Equally ef fective in curing all lung and throat troubles, consumption, pneumonia, and grip. Guaranteed by B. H.
