J. H. Ludwick completed threshing
his fall wheat , close of last week , and
reports an average yield of thirty bush
els per acre from twenty acres , making
a total of six hundred bushels of very
fine wheat. He expects to have about
seven hundred bushels of spring wheat
and one thousand bushels of oats.
The success of the wheat crop in Ne
braska this season adds weight to the
claim made by so many substantial far
mers and experienced grain buyers that
no crop will give better returns in this
state year after year than winter wheat.
The acreage is growing steadily and
wherever the grain is properly planted
the results are wonderfully satisfactory.
Nebraska is ready for winter wheat.

Route Agent HcCracken.
Ralph A. McCracken , well known to
all the older railroad men west of Chicago
cage as one of the best route agent
that ever bandied mail on the western
routes , was buried yesterday at Fair
mount cemetery. Mr. McCracken wa
thirty-four years old at the time of his
death , which was caused by pulmonar
trouble. When about twenty years o
age he entered the service of the posta
department , and for ten years his career
was a series of promotions. When he
resigned four years ago on account ol
failing health he had charge of a divi
sion , with eight men working under him.
Mr. McCracken was an ardent republi
can , and had in early life some news
paper experience. With his father ,
who was a prominent journalist in south
eastern Iowa , he undertook the publica
tion of a newspaper in western Nebras
ka. This he was forced to abandon on
account of his health , and coming to
Denver , he embarked in the jewelry
business at No. COS Santa Fe avenue.
His hope of returning health in this
climate was never realized , his strength
gradually falling until Monday last ,
when he sustained a hemorrhage of the
lungs which was followed by death.
The mother of the deceased lives in
Denver with her son , F. L. McCracken ,
an employe of the Green-Smith Watch
and Diamond Company. Denver Re

Gammill was born in Ohio ; he enlisted
in Company M , Third Iowa cavalry , in
August , 1861 , and was mustered out
as captain in 1865. He is a pioneer of
Frontier county , having settled on a
homestead in July , 1873 , where he has
since resided and engaged in fanning
and stock raising. He is a strong , clean
man. World-Herald.

The abundant rains of the past week
leave the ground in fine condition for
fall plowing and planting of a large
acreage of winter wheac. Two magnifi
cent crops have been raised in succes
sion , and there is every reason to be
lieve that the same results will follow
intelligent effort in this direction with
cheerful regularity in the future. One
or two more yields such as the farmers
have experienced in the past two years
will cause a rush for Nebraska land
that will give all the dissatisfied an op
portunity to sell their holdings at an
enormous advance and leave for some
more favored locality.

known. During this time you will
want a newspaper that is thoroughly in
touch with public sentiment , and one
that prints the news before it becomes
stale. THE SKMI-WEEKLV STATK
JOURNAL prints the news several days
earlier than the old fashioned weeklies ,
and costs the same , $1.00 per year. A
complete paper twice each week Tues
days and Fridays. Giving 104- papers
a year. It is almost as good as u daily.
The old time weekly is not in it when
it conies to printing news. A year's
subscription will carry reader ? all
through the campaign and the next
session of the legislature. A big dollar's
worth.
