pcond clam matter
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1909.
Tho Associated press is informed by
a high Authority that tho committee of
the university of Copenhagen in its
preliminary examination of his records,
failed to discover pi oof that Dr. Fred
rick A. Cook reached the north pole.
It is learned that several members of
the university comhtory aro exc cdlng
ly angry over tho rector's preliminary
report, one of them expressing regret
that tho university had not waited until
Dr. Cook's claim that ho reached the
polo had been proved before honoring
him.
exports tell the same story. We are
exporting about one-third !e.s corn and
wheat than last year. In meat there
is a similar decline. Yet the fanner,
at least in this section of prolific soil,
is more prosperous than any other class
with the excoption of the high finan
ciers. Falling yield means higher prices.
Tho farmer's Into est in keeping his
soil rich and his yield largo Is really
hardly as great as that of his customer.
Herein lies one of tho great perplexi
ties of the food problem. Lincoln
Journal.
ft
Uaports from tho region of Casper in
Wyoming, indicate that sheep men are
short of feed and that the sheep ranges
aro covered with snow. Tho owners of
big sheep herds have appealed to the
Northwestern to hurry hay and feed
from tho producing points in Northwest
Nebraska to their stations in Wyoming
for the relief of tho stock. It is said
that Monet, Shoshoni and Wnltmnn,
have received from Northwestern sta
ti ns in Nebraska during the last week
more than fifty car loads of hay and
feed and that tho sheepmen have or
. dcrs out for as many more carloads' of
feed. The sheep rren aro fearful that
unless a thaw comes to uncover the
range that the losses will bo heavy.
Lynching? in 1909 havo numbered
soventy, tho highest number recorded
slnio 1931. The victims numbered
olovon whites nnd fifty-nlno negroes.
Tho lynching occured in twelve states
and ono territory Now Mexico. As in
provious years, crimes or alleged crimes
ajninu white women' and murders
caused most of theso summary execu
tions. One case, occurlng in Cairo,
III., comblnod both causas and resulted
in tho placing of tho city under military
control for several days. Tho Cairo
lynching) wero tho only cases of tho
kind that occurred north of tho Ohi"
river 'lurinr tho year. Several double
lynching3 occurred at various point in
un poutn, ana UKinnoma furnished a
quadruple lynching, with four cattle
men as tho victims.
Favored Farmers.
Sat-irdiy'a cairn srclal reports, the
November and December exports, tho
' exports thus far for tho year, and tho
livo stock, grain and cotton markots
join in tho declaration that tho earth
Is the farmer's and tho fullness there
of. A dozen years ago wo wore saying:
"Lo, tho poor farmor." Today the far
mer is falling under suspicion because
of certain indications that ho is an oc
topus. Tho. best demand for Christmas
goods, sayB Bradstreot's, comes from
tho north and west, but southern trade
also Bhows expansion. North and west
moans producers of high priced grain
and moat; tho south means cotton
growers, who are shipping n fourth less
cotton to Europo than last year, and
'getting $10,000,000 mora for tho
smaller quantity In Novomior alone.
Tho farmer, or at least tho land
owner, possesses as a class the peculiar
advantage of making rbout as much
money If ho produces largo as if he
produces little. Tho south, getting moro
monoy for this year's small crop of
vjjeotton than for last year's largo ono is
"Fa'caso in point. Tho grain and meat
The Wyoming Way.
A Cody (Wyo) opo:ial to yesterday's
Bee says: Local surgeons sp3nt the
afternoon digging tho lead out of M. J.
Dillon which was left there by J. Oles n
last evening. Mr. Dillon, sitting a! mo
In his ranch house on lower Sagj creek,
luanl the telephone bH tinkle. Being
I inesome, he thought he would "rubber '
and learn what tho neighbors were
talking about. Ho heard the following
conversation: "Did you see Mike
Dillon go by?" "Yes." "Was ho
drunk?" "I guess so; ho was riding like
thodovll." The statement being un-
uo Mr. Dillon naturally resented It.
Taking his six-shooter, he went to call
on Mr. Olcson, who saw him first, with
tho result that Dillon is now reposing
In tho hospital with a shattered right
log.
