Early last week J. Johansen was
out in the western portion of the
state, where he took a tractor for J.
V. Stradley to a customer who had
recently purchased the same through
Mr. Stradley. He found a portion of
the way dry and good roads while at
other places along the way the roads
were very soft and muddy. He re
ports the condition of crop3 out that
way just about the same as here,
with the possible excepion of small
grain which appears to be a little
better than in this vicinity. Western
Nebraska wheat has a good prospect
of producing a bumper yield this
year.

down town and meeting his many
friends again, as well as ever.
Bible Gardens (Continued)
III The Home Life of Our First
Parents: In their daily life, they
found great joy and pleasure. Their
greatest joy was to please God. who
had prepared such a beautiful home
for them. It was their delight to
keep it so. Hence they were kept
quite buy in trimming the trees and
shrubs and keeping the paths clean;
avd when Adam came to the arbor,
tired and hungry, he found Eve
awaiting him with a smile and kiss,
the meal all ready, and during the
meal they would toll each other their
experiences; what a pleasure it had
Race Korse
Stall
Oil Co
been for Eve to watch the swans on
the river, in their graceful move
ments, and what capers the monkeys
had tut, and hew badly the lion had
scared her, as he stood at the open
ing and roared and woke her up
from a nap; and the elephant had
reached in with his trunk and had
taken the fruit she had prepared for
the meal.
Adam told her an experience he
had with a shark, while taking a
bath in the river. This monster had
found great delight in taking hold
of one of his feed and would not let
go, and out of pure joy pulled him
under the water until he was almost
drowned, when a crocidile came
along and pinched the shark's tail
and he let go his foot.
Then, as the shades of night set
tled over the Garden and a cool
breeze fanned their temples, their
friend and benefactor would visit
them and they would talk over the
day's work and they would tell God
what joy and pleasure they had had
ard how grateful they were for their
beautiful home and God would tell
ihem how pleased he was. and as
sured them if they would always be
so faithful and obedient and diligent,
greater jays and pleasure would be
theirs some day, for they should
scmotini3 share His heavenly horne
with him: while here was their time
oi' probation and all (itpendt-i! upon
their obedience with his request not
lo cat of the tree of knowledge.
But both assured God that such a
thought would never enter their
mild. We will see what happened.

Corifirractioii He union
On Sunday, June 22. the cor.gre-l
gation of the Trinity Lutheran
church he'd forthe firstt imesince its
organization, a confirmation reunion.
This reunion included all cenfirm
ands since the year 1S9 4. During
these 3 0 years there were 207 peo
ple confirmed and of these, 104 were
present at the reunion services.
Members of the various classes
came fiom all parts of the state and
two from out of the state. Rev. E.
Peters from Canon City, Colorado,
and ?.Irs. Frank Hart from Red Oak,
Iowa. Besides the class members,
many visitors attended, there being
about oOU people present.
The pastor of the congregation.
Rev. G. A. Zoch, delivered an address
in the American language. His text
was chosen from Luke 17:17. "Were
there not ten cleansed? But where
are the nine?" These words can well
be applied to the former class mem
bers, reminding each individual of
his continuation vow made years ago
at that altar before God.
Following the address by Rev.
Zoch, the octette rendered the selec
tion. "Abide wiih Me," alter which
Rev. J. W. Peters, of Wisner, the for
mer pastor of the congregation, de
livered an address ia tiie German lan
guage. He spoke on the words taken
treni Juue 1:2 : "Build up yourselves
on your most Holy faith."
At noon a joint dinner was served
by the ladies of the congregation, to
all present. Services were again held
in the afternoon, commemorating the
cjuadriecntenial of the Augsburg's
Confession, which all Lutherans this
year are celebrating. These services
were conducted by the Rev. II. Moel
lering, of Papillion.
The entire day proved to be a real
success and it is hoped that an oc
casion similar to this one will again
be held some time in the future.
GOVERNOR NOT IN CONTEST
.St. Paul Governor Christianson
formally announced in a strtement
Thursday that he has abandoned a
proposal to contest the victory of
United States Senator Thomas D.
Schall for the republican nomina
tion for United States senator in
the June in primary. The gover
nor, beaten by more than 90,000
votes, said lack of funds was the
reason for not. filing suit.
Without referring directly to Sen
ator Schall, the governor charged
untruthful statements were made
against Lim in the recent campaign
and that he would have appreciated
an opportunity to refute them in a
court action. He estimated that such
proceedings would require more than
-a, 000 and that as a result of in
ability to raise this amount among
friends, he had dropped any plan
for a contest.

WILL CLOSE DANCES
From Saturday's Tally
With the dance last week at
the Eagles hall the dancing season at
that place will be closed, the Eagles
deciding to discontinue the dances
during the heated period of the sum
mer, but will probably resume these
pleasant social events in the fall and
continue them through t7:e winter.
The Eagles have had a very pleasing
success with their Saturday dances
for the past season and the events
have been most popular among the
dance lovers of the city and with
large numbers in attendance. The
Harmony Boys orchestra, one of the
best known in this section, has fur
nished the music for the winter and
spring program of dances for the
Eagles. Those who onjey dancing
will anxiously await the opening oi
jthe season again in the fall.

OLE" NEBRASKA FORT
XAY BE SECLAEtfED
When in June 1S74, the announce- j
meiit was received that Congress had i
voted an appropriation of ?I0,000 for
the erection of a fort in the North
Loup valley, there was great rejoic
ing. There had been a long period of
depredations by the Sioux who claim
ed the Loup valley as their hunting
ground. To their warfare with their
ancient enemy the Pawnees, they
added an enmity against the whites,
stealing their horses, cows and pro
visions and keeping the country in a
constant fear of butchery by Sioux
warriors returning from their suc
cessful forays against their weaker
foes, the Tawnees. So many had been
the depredations of the Sioux and so
frequent the bloodshed that many
settlers withdrew and the population
of whites steadily diminished. Fin
ally a strong appeal was made to the
federal government, a bill was offer
ed in Congress by Senator P. V.'.
Hitchcock, and an affirmative vote
on the measure brought assurance of
relief.
The site near Elyria was selected
by General Ord. It commanded a
view up and down the Loup river. It
Rabbi Wise Say
ry Law Repeal
Seems Certain
Enforcement Impossible; Never Eair
ly Tried, His Opinion States
Stand as Prohibitionist
Providence. R. I.. June 27. In
what he said was the most compre
hensive statement he had ever made
about prohibition. Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise of New York declared today
that "we now have to choose between
enforcement, which alas, seems im
possible and modification, which,
alas, seems inevitable.
Rabbi Wise yesterday opposed the
introduction of a resolution urging
repeal of the Eighteenth amendment
before the Arty-first annual conven
tion of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis. The resolution
was tabled.
"The central conference, having
taken no stand in other days on
behalf of prohibition and the Eight
eenth amendment, would come rath
er belatedly into the picture if it.
at this late date, expressed itself in
favor of repeal," said Dr. Wise, who
described himself as one "identified
with the prohibition cause for many
years."
"Personally, I have always felt
that prohibition should have been
given, as it was never given, a fair
trial. The thing I have almost hoped
for from prohibition has utterly
failed to come to pass such liber
ation of the spirit of the people as
would enable them to face problems
of the social reconstruction of the
commonwealth with clarity and so
briety. Instead of that, the mind of
the nation is given almost undivid
edly to the liquor problem.
"In any event, it is hardly the
business of the central conference to
indulge in pronouncements which
will reinforce lawlessness instead of
enforcing the law. World-Herald.

Hartsuft as it
The fort was first occupied by
Company C of the Ninth Infantry
under Capt. Samuel Munson. This
company was relieved by Company A
of the Twenty-third Infantry whica
war, replaced by Company K of the
Fourteenth Infantry. In November,
1S7S, the original company that gar
risoned the fort returned under Capt.
Munson and remained until the post
was abandoned in May, 1SS1.
Company C had no drum. So Drum
mer Johnny Luke beat the familiar
calls on a tin pan. The company riled
out to that music and solemnly sa
luted the flag as it was raised to posi
tion. Later a drum was acquired and
still later a bugle. The flagstaff was
imported. Twenty men were detail
ed to find one. They followed the
Niobrara to the vicinity cf Long Pine
where a pine ten inches at the base
and 97 feet long when dressed was
found.
After the fort was abandoned in
1SS1 it was purchased by the Union
Pacific railroad and later sold for
ranch headquarters. The buildings
are in good state of preservation and
! a movement has been launched to
j save them for their historical value
