What would have been thought a few years ago of those who ventured on the prediction that we should soon be relying for a great part of our winter butter supplies on shipments from the antipodes? For some little time past, however, this has been an accomplished fact. The only reason for commenting on It now Is to refer to the remarka ble developments which are constantly taking place In connection with It. For Instance, a few days ago the Arawa arrived from New Zealand with the enormous cargo of 3,404,800 pounds of grass-fed butter. Times have changed since Byron wrote of the futility of seeking roses In December or Ice In June; and who can say that the day will not come when we shall be able to calcine Ice Into gunpowder? Perhaps the best word for the cry of the cricket Is that of Tennyson. "Not a cricket chirr'd," he writes In "In Me moriam.” But Tenyson was always cu riously exact In his vocal rendering of the songs of birds. What could be truer to sound than “the moan of doves In Immemorial elms?" Then too the linnet, the robin and the thrush "pipe,” the woodpecker "laughs” and "mocks,” the lark and the plover "whistle," the Jay "scrltches," the parrot "screams," the peacock “squalls," the blackbird "warbles,” while the ocean fowl "shrlef" and the eagle “yelps.” A law has recently been enacted In Wisconsin authorizing the state to en eage in the annuity and life insurance usiness after next year.

Premiums are to be calculated according to the American mortality table. Annuities are to range from $100 to $300, and life Insurance policies from $500 to $3,000.

Oct. 2.—Walter Llspen ard Suydam. of Blue Point, L. I„ was granted an Interlocutory decree of di vorce this afternoon by Justice Clarke, j of the supreme whatever damages he may inflict. “The driver of an automobile when approaching a crossing In the main business part of the city at a time when the streets are occupied by other ve hicles and pedestrians, should have his automobile under control, should keep a sharp lookout and should manage his car as to its rate of speed and other wise stop if necessary to avoid injur ing any one who for any cause is found to be in a place of danger.” The significant part of this is that it holds that a driver must so control his machine as not only to be able to stop, hut must stop. It holds that one who becomes frightened and bewildered r.t the near approach of an automo bile w hile crossing a public street, and for that reason fails to avoid a col lision, is not, as a matter of law, guilty of contributory negligence. The court says that the fact that a person who discovers himself in a place of sudden danger is not presumed to negligently contribute to the accident If he turns the wrong way or hesitates or Jumps one way when he should have Jumped the other, for the reason that under such circumstances what he does is not done voluntarily, and the law does not require that he should exer cise his best Judgment. As to the re spective rights of pedestrians and driv ers, the court says: “One has the right to assume that others will exercise care and caution to avoid injuring him, but there is im posed on him a corresponding duty to use due care for the safety of others. Thus, one in charge o( an automobile is bound to exercise the care commen surate with the risk of injury to others. It is his duty to keep a vigorous watch ahead for vehicles and pedestrians and on the first appearance of danger to take proper steps to avoid it.” In this case it was shown that Coon did not try to stop his machine, al though he saw the girl hesitating and Jumping back and forth in her bewil derment. As a matter of fact she jumped Into his path. The court says that under such circumstances it was his duty to have had his machine un der control and to have stopped. Coon is a dealer in autos.

GENERAL MANDERSON DIES ONJGH SEAS The Distinguished Nebraskan Breathes His Last On Atlantic Liner. Omaha, Sept. 30—Gen. Charles Fred erick Manderson, lawyer, soldier, au thor. lecturer, statesman and one of Omaha's most distinguished citizens, died yesterday on board the steamship Cedric, of the White Star line, en route from Liverpool to New York city. The first announcement of the demise came late Thursday afternoon in the shape of a telegram to a friend of the family in Omaha. No particulars ac companied the message and it is as sumed that death was unexpected and sudden. General and Mrs. Manderson, with Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Deitz, went abroad about three months ago. They toured Europe and intended to return to this country on the Olympic about a week ago with other Omahans, including the Deitz and Millard parties, but the steamship was rammed before it was out of sight of land and the passengers had to put back into port. This acci dent broke up the Nebraska party, which was compelled to divide and sail on separate steamers. General and Mrs. Manderson engaged passage on the Cedric. . , The demise of General Manderson re moves a figure conspicuous in Ameri can political and military history. Gen eral Manderson was born in Philadel delphla, February 9, 1838. He moved to Canton, Ohio, when he was 19 years of age, and studied lawn It was as a law student that he met William Mc Kinley, destined in later years to be come president of the United States. To this friendship is due the fact that President McKinley offered him many honors, none, however, of which he ac cepted. In fact, he had the distinction of having refused more political honors than any man In the country. McKinley urged him to accept the post of ambassador to England, which he refused. He had a w'ell poised legal mind and his opinion was sought by many public men. Senator Ingalls once described one of General Manderson’s addresses as an "epic poem." General Manderson represented Ne braska in the Senate from 1883 to 1895 when he retired from the Senate and political life voluntarily and accepted the position of general solicitor for the Burlington system west of the Mis souri. It was after his retirement from political life that the late Mark Hanna, at the instance of McKinley, besought him to allow' his name to be used for the second place on the ticket. He de clined the honor and also others, the ambassadorship to England which Mc Kinley would have thrust upon him had he been willing to accept them. NORTH BEND FILES FOR AID UNDER THE NEW CRONIN LAW Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 30.—North Bend is the first city in Nebraska located on the Platte river east of the junction of its two branches to get an applica tion on file for state aid in the contrac tion of a bridge across that stream. The county boards of Dodge and Saun ders counties have been prevailed up on to ask the state’s help in spanning the river at that point with a 1,600 foot bridge, to cast approximately $68,800. tinder the Cronin act, passed by the last legislature, the counties are to pay half the expense and the state the other half. The liability of the state, however, is not to exceed the proceeds of a one-fifth mill levy in any one year, which amounts to $80,060, or a little more. A number of applications are on file ahead of the one from North Bend, and it will probably not be among those taken care of this year. As this proposed bridge is to be lo cated below the mouth of the Loup river, it must be constructed strong enough to resist the pressure of float ing ice when the spring thaws send it down stream. The contemplated ex penditure of $68,800 is equal to $3 per lineal foot. This, in the Judgment of State Engineer Price, would be enough to build a concrete bridge.
