' \ • * Jay Gould and his clique are striving to get control of the Northwestern R. R., at the annual election which is to be held in June. Their only object in se­ curing that control, will be to squeeze out ot it the largest amount of money that can be squeezed out, regardless of the prosperity of the road or of the peo­ ple, for whoui it serves as a thorough­ fare. Their success will be a public misfortune. Washing sheep has commenced and wool buyers will be on the market. Red horse have disappeared and now pole and line, bob and sinker are in or­ der. And the boys are doing a heavy business in that line. The board of direcctors have decided toj^ave another four weeks' school, con- -equent'y school opens again to-day, Wednesday, and will close on the 2nd day of July. We learn that a son of A. L.

Joseph Bnch had a fine two year old colt badly cut up by a barb wire fence last week. The breast was almost torn out. while the sides and legs were torn and lacerated in a fearful manner. These are undoubtedly a good and cheap fence, but a man who will use one around a field where young horses are kept should be prosecuted for cruelty to animals.

' (From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.) In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for­ tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his campaign npon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with tne severe heat, gave him a very severediar- rhoea which seemed almost impossible to check, and along in .Tune the case be­ came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors bronght 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 with­ in 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 disorder being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.
