Attest:--G. F. RUSHTON, Clerk. WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. 8. Department of Agriculture Report For Week Ending June 24,1902. Cool weather prevailed during most of the past week and the latter part of the week was unseasonably cool. In the extreme southern part of the state it was not, however, so unusually cool as farther north. Showers occurred in different parts of the state during the week, and on Thursday night and Fri­ day light to moderately heavy rains fell over almost the entire state. As a rule the rain did not interfere materially with farm work, though wet soil in vhe northern part of the state caused some delay in cultivation, and work proceed­ ed quite rapidly over most of the state. The absence of heavy rains in the north has improved the outlook in that sec­ tion somewhat, while good showers in parts of the feouth have improved the condition of crops where they fell. Over most of the southern part of the state, however, the rain was too light to benefit crops materially, and in many localities the drouth is becoming serious. Wheat is nearly all in shock in the southern district, is being harvested in the central district and is about ready to harvest in the northern district. Rye is generally a good crop. Oats promise a good yield over the northern and central districts, though their rank growth is causing them to lodge con­ siderably. In the southern district, where they are nearly ready to be har­ vested, the prospect is less favorable. £ SPECIAL SALE • r .

"I suffered from dispepsia and in­ digestion for fifteen years," says W. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C. "After I had tried many doctors and medicines to no avail one of my friends persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave immediate relief. I can eat almost any- tning I want now and my digestion is good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol." Don't try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further weakens the system. Yon need wholesome, strengthening food. Kodol enables yon to assimilate what yon eat by digesting it without the stomach's aid. Julia A. A. Story, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Ill Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of His Liut Hope Realized. (From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.) In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the mamy seekers after fortune who made a big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be­ came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy ' as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.

FINK8T GRAZING AND FARMING LANDS. DIRECT RAILROAD NOW BUILDING The new extension now being built by the North-Western Line to Bone- steel, S. I)., brings to mind the treaty recently made with the chiefs of the warlike Sioux by which the unallotted lands of the famous Itosebud Reserva­ tion are to be turned over to the govern­ ment and one more of the few choice tracts of public lands now remaining, be thus opened to settlement. The land in question lies between the Missouri and Niobrara rivers and is well watered and fertile. Farm lands near the Reservation are selling at from 820 to 835 an acre, grazing lands at from $6 to 815. The country is level or slightlv roll­ ing, consisting of biack luaui with clay subsoil, making the very best of farm­ ing land. It seems to suffer exception­ ally little from drought A great boom has sprung up iu Bonfr steel, to which point The North-Western Line is building. Last fall there wrce fifty settlers there. To-day there t 4 town of 300. Ninety days from there will probably be 3,000. Five e4l estate ollices have opened, and town ofcs are selling at from $300 to $800 The Reservation will probably opened by a plan, such as was amp) of in the recent allotment of lands in Oklahoma. Fifty people are expected to take pai^ in IIM drawing for the land. To enter a homestead of MO aero one must be the head of a family or have attained the age of twenty-one years; a citizen of tne United States, or one who has filed his declaration to become such. To establish a title to the land, residence must be maintained thereon, improving and cultivating the land continuously for five years. With the completion of the North- Western Line from Verdigre to the Reservation boundary at Bonesteel, there will, without doubt, be a tremen­ dous influx of homesteaders as soon as the President's proclamation sets a date for the opening.
