years had passed lightly over his
head and served to strengthen the love
and affection of all who came in contact
with him Born in Boone county Mis

of his mother for one short year only
when the Angel of Death called her home
and left the seven children three of
whom were girls to the care of their
father who is now mourning the loss of
this his youngest child Fair haired
manly and affectionate Elmo under the
special care of his brothers grew to vig
orous manhood when the glamor of the
sea attracted him and he sailed for sev
eral years on the sturdy War vessels of
the United States Navy visiting nearly
all parts of the world and growing and
broadening both mentally and physic
ally In the springtime of his manhood
his fatal illness seized him and fighting
and struggling Oh so patiently and
silently dragged him down to an early
grave His body will lie in the grave
yard in Missouri but his soul has gone
to its eternal resting place with God
Turn your eyes Oh ye mourners not
downward to the damp earth but up
ward to the glorious skies where serene
and calm with a peace which passeth
all understanding that animating part
of our dear departed Elmo looks down at
us and rejoices s c b

MCCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY 2T 1905
Loomls May Get Relief
Washington Jan 24 Special tele
gram to the Bee Representative Norris
today introduced a bill directing the sec
retary of the interior to reinstate the
final homestead entry of Russell F
Loomis and to direct the issuance of a
patent for certain lands situated in town
ship 4 north range 29 in the Fifth con
gressional district In 1872 Loomis set
tled on the lands supposing it was gov
ernment landf as ifthen was Later on
the government deeded this land to the
state of Nebraska as school land
Loomis lived on the land and made
final proof on the same which proof was
accepted by the local land office but
when the case reached the Interior de
partment it was rejected on the ground
of its being school lands of the state of
Nebraska As Loomis was a good citi
zen he was permitted to continue his
residence on the land until Wolfe com
missioner of public lands and buildings
advertised the quarter section for sale
A son of Loomis purchased the land
and gave it to his father which he has
retained by paying a nominal rental
Two different Nebraska legislatures pass
ed a bill vesting title in Loomi3 but
the bills were vetoed by the governors
Senator Dietrich being one of the two
governors vetoing the measures on the
ground it was notconstitutionallt seems
so clear a caseof injustice to a good citi
zen that Representative Norris has
taken the matter up and he has the
promise of members of the committee
on public lands to report the measure
favorably and as Senator Dietrich has
indicated his willingness to co operate
with Judge Norris there is ground for
belief that the bill will become a law at
this session
Funeral Services of Bertha McMillen
Funeral services oveij the remains of
Bertha May McMillen were held at the

the casket being covered and embowered
in flowers The remains were buried in
Longview cemetery Miss Bertha was
in her 26th year While her years were
those of a sufferer and invalid she was
the sunshine of the home and the family
has the tenderest sympathy of many in
this sorrow

Do you know our price for butterfat
last half of January is 28c per pound
Do you know this means 112 to 125
per hundred for milk
Do you know that during the winter
of 1902 we paid as high as 27c for butter
fat and 25c in 1903
Do you know these are better prices
than dairymen of New York Wisconsin
and other old dairy states who follow
dairying exclusively are realizing for
their milk produced on farms worth 100
and more per acre
Do you know this beats raising dollar
wheat or fifty cent corn
Do you know we paid more money to
the farmers of Nebraska in 1904 than all
other creamery companies operating in
the state
Do you realize what you are losing if
you are not the owner of a De Laval
