George Conrad informs The Tribune
that there was just one bushel per acre
difference in the yield between his
spring plowing and summer fallow, the
former giving 17 bushels to the acre
and the latter 18 bushels.
Louie Boutang came up from Minne
apolis on Saturday to look after his
crop on the farm north of the city. He
informed The Tribune that he would
next season remain here and see that
the place was properly farmed and the
balance of the quarter broken up.
Mrs. J. E. Tate and little daughter
Fern, who were with Mr. Tate on the
racing circuit in this state and Minne
sota, returned on Saturday and both
appeared delighted to get home again,
though Mrs. T. says they had a fine
time during their absence, which both
enjoyed very much.
D. W. Siver and family are about to
move into the city and have rented the
Joe Gardner residence over on Madison
street, with the privilege of purchasing
the same at a stated price, the which
Deck informs us he will without doubt
do as soon as he completes another
dicker, which e expects will focus
within a week or two.
Rev. Mr. Bruns' driving team, hitch
ed to a top buggy, ran away last Fri
day morning, starting from the vicinity
of his house south side of town and
crossing the railway tracks, took a turn
west on Railway street as far as Wash
ington, thence north to First street,
thence west again,recrossing the tracks
near Frank Woods' place, and had
made about two miles south when Mr.
B. in one of the D. & H. autos over
took and captured them, neither horses
or carriage being damaged in the least
during the "spin."

their tin cans and other music boxes to
serenade Matt Frendell on the strength
of the rumor that Matt was about to
double up with a certain belle that re
cently made her advent into this man's
town, but the old fox informs us that
there is nothing to it—simply a false
alarm—and that when he gets around
to committing himself to such an en
tanglement, he will take time by the
forelock by shipping in a car of the
amber fluid, so that the whole blarsted
outfit will be too dead to the world to
do any tin-canning.
Bill Shopkley left on Friday night of
last week on his return to his home at
Muncie, Ind., and in bidding The Tri
bune "so long" Bill tola us not to
be suprised if ne and his family would
show up here again at an early date to
take up a permanent residence in the
properous Bowbells country. We'd like
to see the little fellow back, as to see
Bill about the streets at intervals again
would make Bowbells on the Soo seem
more like home and take a fellow's
memory back to the" good times now
past, but which are liable to bloom out
again, if we succeed in getting suffi
cient of the old stock back.
That something is wrong somewhere
with our mail system is evidenced by
the following quotation from a letter
received by The Tribune a few days ago
from our friend Jim McCarney, dated
at Lignite on the 17th inst. Says Jim:
"Would you please be so kind as to send
me a copy of last week's Bowbells Tri
bune, as I failed to get mine at all this
time? Sometimes I get The Tribune
on Saturday following the day of publi
cation, but most of the time not till
Wednesday or Thursday of the next
week. Can you imagine where it is held
up? Please see what you can do about
this, as I'd rather go without my chuck
for a whole day than miss The Tribune
on Saturday following its publication."
This hold-up of The Tribune is just as
much of a conundrum to us as it is to
Jim, but inasmuch as several complaints
of this nature have been made, we'll
promise that the remedy will be applied
p. d. q. The papers for the Lignite
office leave the Bowbells office on Thurs
day night of each week as regular as the
weekB roll around, and no reason why
they should not reach their destination
by the Friday evening mail. If there
is a reason, we'll know it.
A chap lugging about with him one
of the most robust cases of "snaiks" it
has ever been the privilege of the peo
ple of this town to witness, hailed into
the city from some place or other last
Friday night and secured a room at the
Richardson hotel, no one suspecting
from his appearance at the time that
he applied for lodging there was any
thing amiss with him. Early in the
morning, however, he made tne "wel
kin ring —guess that's all right—with
the most heart-piercing yells of "Mur
der," "He's kilGn' me," etc., and as if
to get away fiym his imaginary neme
sis, he jumped through a window and
made for the street, striking a canter
on the road leading to the north of
town. About an hour later he passed
Jack Brown's place, three miles north,
and later on in the day, when Mr.
Brown was driving to the city, he over
took the fellow coming this way and
invited him to jump into the wagon and
ride in, which ne did. For several hours
during the afternoon he made himself
conspicuous by hunting imaginary
snakes supposed by him to be hidden
un^er the
walkB,
and busied himself at
intervals by chewing the rag with im
aginary foes by whom he was surround
ed. Several compassionate persons
tri^jl to comfort the chap and do for
him, but to no purpose, and toward
night lie disappeared from the streets,
though where ne went no, one seems to
know. He was
A
young man, comfort­
ably dress, and seemed quite intelligent
in his rational'moments.
The Bismarck Palladium, say», that
Mrs. Q. L. Bickford returned to that
city on Monday of laat .week after a

Joe Bell was over from Woburn on
Monday and dropped in on The Tribune
to say that the dance he gave in the
hall in that place the previous Satur-

including Bowbells.
Gene Ensign, talking of the product
iveness of the Canadian northwest, on
general principles, swears by the eter
nal that to his knowledge brass door
knobs up in that country have yielded
in a single year three separate and dis
tinct crops of brass tacks that graded
No. 1 and no questions asked. It sure
is a wonderful country, so 'tis.
John Efteland was in the city
Ambrose the first of the week looking
after some business interests out among
the fanners. John says his firm is en
joying an immense business at the town
at the branch terminus, and that it js
surprising the amount of grain that is
being brought over from the Canadian
side and sold there in bond for export
shipment.
John Nowlan of Ruthven, Iowa, who
was here last week on a. visit to E. J.
Remington and family, left for
hiB
home
on Sunday. Mr. N. owned a nice quar
ter section farm directly across the
road from that of Will Mitchell, a few
miles east of the city, and while here
he sold the place to Mr. Mitchell, we
are told, though we failed to learn the
consideration.
Wm. Berniece will leave here for his
new Canadian home the first of next
and will be followed within a week or
ten days by his family. Bill
haB
made
good in the Bowbells country and the
worst that The Tribune wishes for him
and his is that they may continue to
add to their surplus in tne new home
and find their lines cast in pleasant
places.

That farmers are not selling their
grain to any great extent is evidenced
by the statement of H. S. Higgins to
The Tribune on Friday of last week,
the same being to the effect that of
about 9,000 bushels taken in by Mr. H.
in his elevator up to that time, the
farmers bringing in the grain took stor
age tickets for nearly 7,500 bushels,
the remaining 1.500 being all that they
sold to Mr. H. out of the entire 9,000
bushels delivered. This, to The Tribune
at least, is a pretty good sign of the
times. 'Twasn't many years back
when the rank and file of the farmers
were compelled to rush every bushel in
right from the threshing machine to
pay debts they couldn't stave off, even
for a few days.
Ed. Tate and Bert Anderson arrived
from Mankato, Minn., on Saturday,
with Mr. Tate's pacing stallion Bonme
Wilkes. Ed. told The Tribune that,
while he could have hoped to have done
better while on the circuit, still circum
stances seemed to combine against him
and he had no fault to find. He was
detained at Mankato for several weeks
on promise of a race, but the weather
continued in its most forbidding mood,
and as a consequence no race was pull
ed off, and after this long and fruitless
wait he simply became disgusted and
determined to return home. He has
just as much confidence as he ever had
in the. ability of Bonnie Wilkes to make
good with the best of 'em, but, as he
says, luck was simply against him and,
do what he might he couldn't change it.
R. B. Burger arrived here on Sun
day morning from Ballard, Wash., a
suburb of Seattle, where the Burger
and Ingram families are now and have
been living for some months past,quiet
ly sizing things up with a view to event
ually going into business somewhere
out in that country, which locality they
like very much. Messrs. Burger, In
gram ana Landsborough have disposed
of their large tract of timber, ana Mr.
Landsborough is engaged in the real
estate business, which is a great money
making proposition out tnere if one is
lucky enough to strike it right. Messrs.
Burger ana Ingram will likely go into
e e n e a e a n i e u s i n e s s a n
only a short time ago had a bargain
made for purchase of an established
business, but when it came to making
the transfer the other chap backed out.
Mr. B. reports all hands well and great
ly taken with Seattle and its surround
ings. He is here to look after some
collections and other business interests
that will probably detain him for sev
eral weeks.
It's a pity when sick ones drug the
stomach or stimulate the heart and kid
neys. That is all wrong! A weak
stomach, means weak stomach nerves,
always. And this i3 also true of the
heart and kidneys. The weak nerves
are are instead erring out for help.
This explains why Dr. Shoop's Restor
ative is promptly helping stomach,heart
and kidneys. The Restorative reaches
out for the actual cause of these ail
ments—the failing "inside nerves."
Anyway test the Restorative 48 hours.
It won't cure so soon as that, but you
will surely know that help is coming.
Sold by all dealers.
