. A Good Field of Corn.
During a drive of nearly twen
tyfive miles east and northeast of
town last Friday the finest piece
of corn noticed was that belong
ing to Louis Lewis, five miles
northeast. The corn was planted
M ly 7th, and laid by on June
2 )th. On Tuesday of this week,
July 9th, some of the stalks
measured seven feet and five
inches in height. The field was
formerly in pasture, and this is
but the second year in corn.
May and the first of June were
too cool for the rapid growth cf
corn and although the past month
hasbien good and hot, still the
corn is far ahorter than it should
be at this season of the year.
The fields are most uneven, as a
rule, so far as height is con
cerned. In general, too, the corn
is far better ten miles northeast
of Stella than near the town.
Residents of that neighborhood
say that every season their yield
of corn is larger to the acre than
it is on the farms near Stella.

We are glad to see that the
Stella Press acknowledges that
around Nemaha lies the very best
farm land. No better can be
found anywhere. And Nemaha
and vicinity have the best class
of citizens, too. For all of which
we give thanks.
The home of Mrs. Allie Lewis,
five miles north of Shubert, is so
pretty and well kept that it at
tracts much attention from the
passer-by or visitor. The farm
consists of 160 acres, and on it
are two good houses but a few
rods apart. Mrs. Lewis and her
three sons occupy the larger
house, which was built five years
ago and consists of ten rooms. A
v ew can be had from the house
of the Missouri river, which is
qnly a mile and a quarter distant.
W. J. Weddle, a brother of Mrs.
Lewis, farms the place in part
nership for her. Stella Press.

Burned to Death.
Mrs. Lizzie Gillespie, wife of
John Gillespie was burned to
death at their home in Auburn
Monday night. They had moved
from a farm to town that day,
getting the household goods un
loaded about 9 o'clock. Mr.
Gillespie started a fire and his
wife put some meat on to fry for
supper. The fire died down and
she took the can of coal oil and
poured some on the fire, Im
mediately there was an explosion
and the burning oil was thrown
over the woman and everything
in the room. She ran screaming
out of the front door, a mass of
flames. Mr. Gillespie had stepped
out of the back door. He ran in,
saw the little babe on the couch,
its clothing on fire, caught it up
and brushed the fire out with his
hands as he ran, laid it on the
grass in the yard and ran after
his wife. He caught her .and
threw a comfort over her but
this did not extinguish the flames,
and her clothing were all burned
from her body. Dr. Lorance,
who was brought as soon as poss
ible, told the friends there was
n ) hope. She was made as easy
as possible, living until 2:35 a. m.
Tuesday. She was fully con
scious until the last.
The deceased was a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Morton
and formerly lived in Nemaha.
The deceased was aged 19
years, 5 months and 12 days.
She leaves a husband and a little
babe only a few months old.
The body was brought to Ne
m iha Wednesday and short ser
vices, conducted by Rev. J. W.
Sapp, were held at the cemetery
at 11 o'clock.
Warren Whitten got one finger
badly mashed m a spring trip
cultivator Thursday of last week.
He was working with the culti
vator in the field, when the horses
started forward, the cultivator
caught against a root or other
obstruction, causing it to fly back
and catch one finger. It held it
so fast Mr. Whitten couldn't get
it out, and he couldn't make any
one hear him call. Finally he
got the cultivator against a stump
and started the horses forward,
but the cultivator tipped over,
and of course Warren went with
it. He managed to get the culti
vator straightened up, and the
second trial was successful. He
has a very sore finger.
Want Lewis and Clark Holiday
At the regular meeting of the
Douglas County association of
Nebraska pioneers, held yester
day in the public library, a reso
lution was adopted, to bring

matter of declaring June 27 a

being the date on which the
Lewis and Clark expedition
reached the site on which Omaha
now is located. Omaha News.
A Wonderful Happening
Port Byron, N. Y., has witnessed one
of the most remarkable cases of healing
ever recorded. Amos F. King, of that
place says; "Bucklen's Arnica Salve
cured a sore on my leg with which I
had suffered over 80 years. I am now
eighty-five." Guaranteed to cure all

Wm. Aue waa the victim of an
accident last Saturday evening
while riding in a buggy on the
street near the court house. His
horse became frightened at an
automobile which was passing
and bid fair to give him plenty
of trouble. Mr." Aue attempted
to get from the buggy and as
he was between the wheels the
horse gave a lunge forward, and
the rear wheel struck him on the
back, -hitting him exactly on a
malignant tumor from which he
has been suffering for some time.
Mr. Aue was not in a strong
condition, owing to his recent
illness . and the extreme agony
caused by the blow rendered him
unable to get to his home alone.
Dr. Boal came to his assistance
and helped him to his home. Be
fore this happened he had been
confined to the house for several
days, and this accident once more
confined him to his bed. His
condition is very critical, but it
is hoped that the recent injury
will not prove serious. Herald.
High Priced Land.
A Table Rock, Neb., corres
pondent says: Rev. Peter Van
Fleet, who recently purchased
what is known as the "Blacklaw
Farm," has just sold to the Bur
lington people therefrom a strip
of twelve acres of land, "for which
the elder was paid the snug sum
of" $2,400-precisely $200 per
acre. The land in question is
about half a mile from the depot,
and one and one-half miles from
the public square. The Burling
ton people are again getting
ready to burn ballast, and did
not have quite room enough.
This was the only available tract
to be had. Preparations are
j about completed and the work
will begin in the near future.
Some trouble has been caused
in the Champion neighborhood
recently by an undue amount of
talk, probably, and it culminated
Saturday in the arrest of James
L. Knight, who was charged by
Jas. A. Stephenson with being
insane. The two had trouble
Saturday forenoon. Mr. Knight
was taken to 'Auburn and on
Monday had his trial. A number
of the neighbors were called as
witnesses. Mr. Knight was pro
nounced sane, and released. It
is to be hoped the trouble is now
over with, and that peace and
good will will prevail hereafter.
A new barn will be completed
this week at the farm of Robert
Jones, several miles northeast of
town. The dimensions are 32x42
with 16 foot posts. The brn
contain room for 1,200 bushels
of grain, thirty-five tons of hay,
and stall room for nine head of
horses. The barn is well con
structed and right up-to-date in
conveniences. F. M. Hacker
was the carpenter. Stella Press.
A Brownville correspondent to

Homc-Made Saratoga Chips
"Home-made Saratoga Chips arc much
more of a rarity than thoy should be,"
says Fannio Merritt Farmer in tho
Auguut Woman's Homo Companion.
"If one owns a potato sliecr, which is
not an expensive utensil, they arc not
diflicult to prepare. They are always
an acceptable accompaniment to fried
fish, but perhaps are never more happily
in evidence than when served as one of
the accessories of a picnic luncheon.
Wash and pare medium-sized potatoes.
Slice thin, using a vegetable sheer made
for the purpose, into a bowl of cold
water, and let stand one and one-half
hours, changing the water twice. Drain,
plunge into a kettle of boiling water,
and let boil one minute. Drain again,
cover with cold water, and lot stand
five minutes. Take from the water, '
and dry between towels. Fry in deep
fat uutil delicately browned, keeping
in motion with n skimmer throughout
the cooking. Remove with a skimmer
to a pan lined with brown paper (which
will absorb the superlluous fat), and
sprinkle with salt. Always drain fried '
potatoes on brown paper, for fried food
if properly cooked and properly drained
seldom absorbs enough fat to be indi
gestible to adults."
At a special meeting of the city
council of Auburn Saturday morning a
license to sell liquors was granted to
Floyd Osenbaugh of Auburn. The re
monstrators did not make any objections
to the granting of this license, as they
have previously done to every request
for license that has come up with tho
exception of those of Til Bailey and H.
L. Workman. These were the only two
that had saloons in the town up to
about a month ago, when another was
opened and the one granted Saturday
will give Auburn four saloons, out of
twelve petitions which were filed for
license.

Daniels place in London precinct,
aged 47 years, 2 months and 24

he was married in February 1906,

"There is nothing that is more likely
to disappoint than a mail-order wife or
husband," says the Fremont Tribune.
"Every few days we hear of some Ne
braskan being lured into a foolish deal
of that kind and getting pinched or
cinched. Love at best, they say, is
blind, but when it works at long range
it is likely also to be deaf anil dumb
and nutty."
