The daily papers speak of the indignation of the neighbors of Roy Blunt in Sarpy county, on account of his unfortunate death, and great sympathy for his be reaved widow. Well they might, for the people of the whole state were very much shocked at the bungling way the capture of those convicts was effected, and the deepest sympathy prevails for the widow. It is the consensus of opinion in this locality, that no reward that the state can bestow upon the unfor tunate widow of Roy Blunt could ever repay her for her loss, but that she is entitled to, and should receive a pension for life, in ad dition to the reward. They also believe that the party to blame for his death, should be ferrited out, tried, and on conviction be given a punishment that was com mesurate with his offense. Leonie Items.

We The Quality of Golden Sheaf J Is the Result of Our Using Only the Choicest i ' NEBRASKA Grains. | Daring the past forty years we have paid to the H farmers of Nebraska more than thirty million dollars. M We have received in return, the choicest grain that the |g state has produced. These statements explain WHY (« GOLDEN SHEAF WHISKIES have ALWAYS been H on the same HIGH DEGREE OF EXCELLENCE. Jj The result of forty-five years of careful study of I the distilling business is embodied in f The WILLOW SPRINGS DISTILLERY is the only distillery worthy of the name west of the Mississippi River, having been founded in 1866. GOLDEN SHEAF WHISKIES are equal to the best that can be produced, yet are sold at a popular price. This is possible because these whiskies are distilled in one of the great distilleries, located in the heart of the grain belt and operating a very large capacity.
