Thomas Tilson was again unfor tunate in that lie suffered a loss of one ewe and four lambs which were killed by the wolves. It looks like somebody had better get after the hunting cf these vai i;:H r.ts, for they are a menace to the farmers in many ways, and seem to be pretty thick when they can tackle a flock of sheep and take five of their number while the people are trying to drive them away. Has Encounter With Rattler While Lloyd Lewis and his father. J. I). Lewis en last Sunday were go ing to some fishing lines which they bad in the river northtast of where they reside east of Union, and Lloyd had his little son, Bobbie with him, he having been leading the little fel low, but as the weeds were rather high he had placed the little son on his shoulder and v as trudging along a pathway towards the river while the father passed by another path nearby. Lloyd saw the weeds move and there coiled ready for a spring was a large rattle snake. Lloyd jumped and soon was out of the way of the venimcus serpent, and placing the son iu care of the grand father, Lloyd secured a large club and dispatched the rattler. It meas ured five and a half feet in length and was nearly as large as a man's arm and had five rattles and a but--ton. Had he not have taken the son up in his arms and placed him on his shoulder he would have been down on the ground near the veni mous snake, and would surely have been bitten by it.

With the water of the Muddy and Nemaha rivers gradually resuming its natural course, Richardson county farmers late Monday had their first oppor tunity to obtain an accurate check on crop damage. Today's estimates place the total loss at a half million dollars in this area alone. The roads and bridges will suffer to the extent of approxi mately 100 thousand dollars while corn and wheat damage will make up the rest of the loss. Thousands of acres of wheat are under a thick layer of mud. with no possibility of producing at all. In some instances corn will be replant ed but most farmers have announced plans to abandon the crop complete ly. No rain has fallen since Sunday night. Farmers living south of the flood ed sections were receiving supplies by motor boats from Falls City today. Motorists were prohibited from at tempting to send their automobiles south on Highway 73 by orders from the sheriff's office after several pleasure cars and trucks had blocked the road. Only one car had been ex tricated from the mire on this road today. Travel was possible to Kansas City by detouring through Salem, eight miles west of here. Rulo today received its first mail since Friday. Train service has been paralyzed since that time. A large truck was utilized to take the mail there today.

Local Masons Have Part in Grand Lodge Plattsmouth Officers Conduct Initia tion and Masonic Quartet Sings at Session. From Monday's Dally Plattsmouth lodge No. 6, A. F. & A. M. had a very large part in the proceedings of the grand lodge of Ne braska which opened its sessions to day at Omaha, the officers of the local lodge conducting the conferring of the Master Mason degree before the grand lodge while the Masonic quartet of this city sang at the after noon session. The selection of the Plattsmouth lodge to confer the degree work is an honor that is much appreciated, as it is given as the result of the at tainment of a very high standard of proficiency in the work of the offi cers in their various offices. The Masonic quartet is one of the most popular Masonic musical organ izations in the state and has appear ed before the meetings of the Masons, Royal Arch grand chapter and the grand commandery of the Knights Templar at their sessions in the past.

Chicago, June 3. The grain trade emerged from the slaugh of despond today. Grasping at the rescuing arm ex tended in optimistic farm relief re ports from Washington, the traders pulled themselves to solid ground and prices went skyward. Wheat shot up nearly 9 cents a bushel in a hysterical opening that found a range of 5 cents existing at one moment in the turbulent pit. The close was 5?f6J,c above Satur day's close. July wheat crossed the dollar mark to finish at $1.03 ((i $1.03 and September wheat ended at $1.071.03. Saturday had seen the market in the depths of the valley, with wheat selling 40 cents below the season's peak prices of last February. July wheat had sunk below the dollar mark for the first time in six years and May wheat at 93Jic was at the lowest level in the futures pits since 1915. Might Sponsor Curtailment. Over the week-end came news from Washington that congress was aware of the depression of grain prices and was likely to push through farm leg islation establishing a stabilization corporation and granting a 100 mil lion dollar emergency fund to deal immediately with the crop surplus. It was suggested, too, that the gov ernment might sponsor a co-operative plan to curtail wheat acreage, perhaps as much as 30 per cent. The news caught' the trade unpre pared and a flood of buying orders at the opening today found no sellers. The result was the most fcj-sterical opening, the wildest advance, in grain prices since the world war. Sev eral minutes passed before the trad ers established opening prices, and only a handful of spectators were in the gallery to witness the frantic gesticulations of excited brokers. Corn rebounded with the same im petus as wheat, finishing 33(&x4c higher, with July at 85S54c and September delivery at 86Ta 87 Vc a bushel. Oats advanced 11c, July closing at 42f?42'c higher. July at 80c and Septemmer contracts at 83c. Overlooked Other News. The market quite overlooked oth er news, its ear turned only to con gress. Private crop reports estimated the winter wheat harvest this year at 632 million bushels, compared with similar estimates of 619 mil lion bushels a moDth ago and last year's yield of 579 million bushels. The spring wheat harvest was placed by the same sources at 252 million bushels. Compared with last year s harvest of 324 million bushels. Bomestic markets followed the violent upward trend here, and at Liverpool the market had closed 1 J.4 2d higher than Saturday. World-Herald. siiiiiiiiiiiisiiiiin BUTTERNUT m BF !i? SIS 1-lb.

In contrast to this, gra.de crossing accidents have materially increased. It has been repeatedly held that railroads are net responsible for ac cidents due to persons crossing their tracks. Every effort has been made to protect the public. And the mo torist who fails to investigate before venturing across tracks or attempts to race trains, must do so on his own responsibility. 1 The futility of trying to force the railroads to remove grade crossings is shown by recent records. Tremen dous amounts have been spent fc.r this purpose. Yet in 19 27, th last year for which official statistics are available, grade crossings increased 952, due to the construction of nw highways and streets across railroad property. In every phas of the accident menace over whioh the railroads have control, improvement has been mr.d-j. Under circumstances where control is within the jurisdiction of the pub lic accidents have increased. Char ily, the railroads are creditably di- ' - i -1 enarging ineir snare oi ine respon sibility and the rest is up to the people.
