TliiM'i 1h ono man in Cass county
whose fnlth in the proniisi'H of tlio
matrimonial syndicates has boon
shattered by his recent costly experi-
& j.,u:y Henry Schmidt is the name of
uHsftS' gentleman referred to, who until
recently earned a livelihood by tilling
the rich, fertile soil of Cass county,
and had succeeded in ,Hftving up a
Himg little sum of monoy. Schmidt
is a Ciernian, 'J5 years of age. His
trouble began one day when a friend
loaned him a matrimonial journal
published in Chicago. One of the
notices described a beautiful, charm
ing young woman in Chicago, and
gave a description of the kind of
a man she desired for a husband.
Correspondence between the two
soon followed, and about a month
ago n date was agreed upon when lie
would meet her in Chicago and make
final arrangements for their wedding.
At the railway station he was met
liy an elderly woman, who in a short
time convinced him that she was the
person he was looking for. He saw
little resemblance between her and
that given in the matrimonial notice,
lmt when she informed her that it
was her daughter who had been cor
responding with him and had sent her
photo and was expecting him, that
settled it. An hour or two later,
while they were seated at a table in
a restaurant a man, who appeared
to Schmidt to le nbmt twice his size,
sauntered into the place and in a
loud voice demanded to know what
Schmidt was doing there with his
wife. Had a cannon been exploded in
the room it could not have had a
more startling effect upon the young
man. The woman then related a
story of her own manufacture which
made things look very disagreeable
for the young man from Nebraska.
To make matters worse, the so-called
husband made a number of frightful
threats, and nnally succeeded in
making the young man believe that
unless he "shelled" out $100 at once
he would be sent to jail. Schmidt
happened to have a little more than
that amount and he willingly "dis
gorged" in order to retain his liberty.
'The husband then made a hasty exit,
and that was the last Schmidt saw of
liini, the woman or the $100.

Mrs. V. C. Frnnipton, wife of a
"member of the city council and a so-
ciety woman of Lincoln, stood on the
-street corners and sang songs in or
der that she might earn $1 for the
church. Mrs. Frampton is a meni
"ber of All Souls' Unitarian church
nnd the women of that, organization
decided to raise money by earning
it, each one agreeing to earn $1 ac-
cording to her own original plan.
Mrs. Frampton put on the garb of a
.street evangelist, disguised herself
--ns much as possible and stood on the
corners of the downtown streets.
After her songs she passed a col
lection box and when she had
'enough nickels and dimes to make
:u dollar she went honie. None of
her friends recognized her and her
experience was not known until she
related it at a church society mect

NoltrtiMka Crulii mid Fruit.
The labor bureau has issued u
statement showing the condition of
crops and fruit. With the report is
a table showing tlio increase and de
crease in the percent, of acreage put
in wheat, oats, rye, alfalfa and corn.
The reports said that if March and
April had been changed a normal sea
son would have resulted, but as it
was the warm weather of March
caused an early planting of crops
and the cold wenther in April in
jured them to some extent. The re
port follows:
Wheat Prior to the cold weather
of April the appearance of wheat
presented at 1)5 per cent, condition.
i This applied to other crops of small
grain. The prospects were for the
largest per acre yield in tlio history
of the state. The wet weather of
last fall caused a decrease in the
acreage that would have been sown
had it not been for tills wet weather.
Nevertheless, there is reported a 13.12
per cent, increase from two-thirds of
the counties and a 5.5 per cent, de
crease from 20 counties.
Corn For corn there will be an in
crease of J0.S0 per cent, in the state.
The prospects arc excellent over the
entire state.
Wats Fin' the onit crop there is
reported a 0.70 per cent, increase and
a 0.2S per cent, decrease, giving n net
increase in the stntc of (5.48 per cent.
J5ye There will be an increase in
the acreage of rye of 3.28 per cent.
The prospect is good and the condi
tion of the state crop is about 90.
Fruit Up to April 25 the prospects
were for the greatest crop of all
fruits in the history of the state. Old
apple orchards which had been on the
decline for years and which had
seemed to have passed the age of
usefulness showed a wonderful re
vival and a prospect of producing
large crops. Cherries also showed a
espevialy bright prospect. Plums
blossomed exceedingly early and very
abundantly. A great deal of credit
is due to spraying for the great pros
pect of fruit in the state.
Acreage of crops in Nebraska:
Oenernl acreage, 10.42 per cent, in
crease; corn, 10.41 per cent, increase;
wheat, 7.02 per cent, increase; oats,
0.43 per cent, increase; rye, 3.28 per
cent, increase; alfalfa, 19.70 per cent,
increase.

the district at 100,000. He says the
population of the Lake Lanno district

Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cerebro

For tho last twelve months two doctors
were in constant attendance, but she only
grew worse nnd worse, till eho could not
walk, and did uot have any power to move at
all.
She was eo low that for the greater part
of the time ehe was perfectly unconscious
of whnt wnu going on about her, and her
heart-broken liusbaml and friends were
hourly expecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope and
no one thought she could possibly liv.c.
In this extremity Mr. Garrett cent forn
box of Dodd' Kidney Pills. It was a last
hope, but happily it did not fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in nil six boxes of the
remedy, und is completely cured. She pays:
