In an Interview with tho Deo sho Bald: "This fall I had an opportunity to find out how valuable sod houses uud the ICO acres of Nebraska land that surround them are. When my hus band and I first sottlod In Nobraska with our two children wo took a claim near Newport, In Rock county, and erected a little sod homo.

Tho last snow was a real blessing to tho mauy Nobrasknns who had Bown winter wheat and the condition of tho latter Is now most promising, for tho ground was originally well saturated with tho necessary moisture. It Is, I have learned, a fact that tho rainfall In tho western part of this stato after last Hummer's hot slego was finally broken, amounted to about forty-ono Inches, which is at least ono Inch moro than tho total of tho fall of tho average year. It took tho llfo out of tho buffalo grass, on which many cat tlo aro usually wintered, but otherwlso It was wholly beneficial and we will all reap the benefit In tho spring. now $G,000. That shows tho lncreaso thcro has been in tho value of No braska land during tho last twclvo years, for It was Just a dozen years ago that wo left tho llttlo sod house. "I have been at a loss frequently to explain why eastern peoplo aro so much Interested In sod houses. I know why I have such a lovo for a homo of Nobraska turf, but tho hundreds of thousands of peoplo who visited tho Buffalo exposition scorned to bo Inter ested in my llttlo house, tucked away in a spaco so small that It could hardly be Been. Tho slzo of my ontlro spaco was thirty-seven feet by seventy-flvo feet and tho building covered almost every Inch of It. It was all tho room I could get.

Governor Savage granted tho requisition of tho gover nor of Illinois for the return to that state of Frederic Bonness, who wna arrested In Omaha December 10, and was later released on bond. Bonness Is charged with deserting in Chicago his wlfo and four small children. Pollcomnn Joseph T. Barry left tho Windy City Immediately upon hla arrest, bringing with him the ncccssarsy papers. Bonness, through his attorneys, claims that ho Is not married to the woman. Tho ofilcor who is after him Bays that tho wo man Is tho legal wlftf of tho man and that when Bonness left Chicago ho had in his possession $1,400, lcnvlng his wlfo penniless with a child but Ihreo weeks old nnd tho threo other children too small to caro for them selves.
