Kimball Butler was born January 11, 1848, near Wellsboro, Tiogo County, Pennsylvania. October 3, 1807, she was united in marriage to Leroy S. Butler and in 1869 they moved to Vinton, Iowa, where they resided until 1879. At that time they made their trip by team to a home stead about a mile south of the pres ent site of Ewing. For many years Mrs. Butler was a much loved and zealous worker in the community. The memory of “Aunt Mary” or “Mother Butler” as she was known to many who knew her best will live in the hearts of those who realized her beautiful and unselfish regard for others. Several years ago she was stricken with paralysis and since that time has gradually failed until she was released from this life to pass into the Great Beyond, Saturday, April 26, 1924. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband and four children, Cora B. Skidmore, Wilbur L. and Ralph L. all of Ewing, and George E. of Rocky Pojint, Wyoming. Besides her im mediate family she leaves a sister, Mrs. Eliza Mills of Ewing, a brother, Clark Kimball, of Wellsboro, Penn., twenty-three grand children and eleven great grand children. ARTHUR CRUISE. (Atkinson Graphic.) Arthur Cruise, a former old resi dent of Holt county and a charter member of Atkinson Lodge A. F. and A. M., died in Saskatchewan, Canada, March 28th. The word was received by his grandson, A. B. Welton. The deceased had been a resident of Saskatchewan for the past twenty years. Prior to that Mr. Cruise was for many years a big cattle dealer here and a part of the time supplied the government with cattle for the Rosebud Indian reservation. He was born in County Cork, Ire land in 1848. NOTES FROM THE NORTH EAST Alex R. Wertz was transacting business in O’Neill Monday. Alex Wertz, Leslie Wertz and R. L. Crawford visited at the home of O. H. Wertz, a brother of Alex, at Creighton, Monday. Indications are strong for a good fruit crop. Wild and tame fruit trees are in full bloom, without late frost, fruit will be plentiful. Cattle and horses are now grazing and where pastures were not loaded too heavy last year, are in good con dition and stock doing fine. Recent rains has given sufficient moisture for small grain and alfalfa. 1 he soil is in excellent condition for planting of corn, which will be general this week. Ralph Phillips and family, of Knox le, Robert Phlilips and family of atheast of Star on county line, were u;.day visitors at the home of your corespondent. Editor W. C. Templeton, of The Frontier, E. F. Porter, County Clerk and son, Chauncey, were Sunday call ers at the home of your correspondent. The trio had been angling on Steel Creek but apparently were unsuc cessful. R. L. Crawford and wife, of Des Moines, Iowa, visited for a week at the Wertz home; going to Sioux City, Wednesday, where they will visit a son, Dr. Arthur Crawford, a dentist. Mr. Crawford is a brother of Mrs. Alex Wertz Some of the younger element had in . mind that putting on gloves and going in the ring with a man two score and ten would be dead easy. The contest which followed ended in a few rounds; the younger element took the count, with facial marks of the contest. NEBRASKA. Omaha, Nebr. May 7th: Nebraska is seventh state in the union in per capita wealth, according to the latest government estimates received from U. S. Department of Commerce by the Bureau of Publicity of the Chamber of Commerce. It holds sixteenth place in total wealth. Facts gleaned from the table on estimated wealth of the states show that for every person in Nebraska, with a per capita wealth of $4,004. there is $1,086, or 37 per cent more wealth than for the entire country, of which the per capita wealth is $2,918. Nebraska’s total wealth is estimated at $5,320,075,000, of which $3,530, 665,000 is in real property. Of this latter amount $3,338,929,000 is as sessed for taxation and $191,726,000 or approximately 5 per cent, is tax exempt Nebraska is fifth state in the value of live stock, with $250,965,000 as the estimated value of this part of the state’s wealth. Iowa, Texas, Illinois ind Wisconsin, in that order exceed this state in live stock values. In value of farm implements and ma chinery, Nebraska stands eighth, this item in the table being $104,500,001 for the state. Manufacturing ma chinery, tools and implements are not of so great importance in the wealth •f our commonwealth, amounting to ut $86,808,000,, and the state is in thirty-third place in this respect. Railroads and equipment of Ne braska place it in nineteenth place with a valuation of $380,413,000, and it stands sixteenth in the country in value of its motor vehicles which total $95,067,000. In value of its street railways, ship ping and waterworks, totaling $110, SHl-fiS#), N>lu$ftka holds thirteenth place. Li considering that the population of Nebraska is exceeded by those of thirty other states, Nebraska holds an important place, especially in the middle west as a contributor to tbs prosperity of the entire nation. Fathers of Triplets Report to White House The White House flies, according to those who keep them, contain what must be a good census of the triplets born In the United States. When this extraordinary event takes place in a family, frequently the proud—or as tonished and bewildered—fattier sits down and writes to headquarters about It. Letters of this kind became the cus tom during the administration of President Roosevelt, because of his advocacy of large families. In this time there was a story, probably apocryphal, that went the rounds, writes James C. Derioux In the Ameri can Magazine. A man notified the President that triplets had been born In his house, and In answer Mr. Roose velt was said to have sent a loving cup. But the man knew that a cup of this nature is not, as a rule, perma nently In the possession of anyone who won It but one time. So he wrote back to ask: “Is the cup mine out right, or do I have to win It three times?” While Mr. Harding was President he received, among other triplet an nouncements, one which told of two boys and a girl baby having been born all at once. The boys were named Warren and Harding and the girl was christened Florence, in honor of Mrs. Harding. That family ^received a fine letter from the White House I Twins, also, are frequently reported to the White House, and the chief ex ecutive hears of large families, too. The largest family reported recently had 19 children. Another quaint custom is to tell the president of the men and women who live to be one hundred years old. The relatives of centenarians often write to ask that the president send a letter of congratulations, and generally the president does. Not long before Pres ident Harding died he wrote a letter to a man who was one hundred and one, and who was a veteran of the Mexican war of 1S48, In reply the White House received a letter from the old gentleman himself, written in a firm hand, and stating that he was seeking no favors, but that he was mighty proud to have a letter from his chief executive. Famed as Fighters A famous Confederate body of Inde pendent fighters known as Mosby’s Partisan rangers, was a terror to the Union troops during the Civil war, do ing much damage in cutting off means of communication and destroying sup ply trains, capturing outposts, etc. Theirs was a guerrilla style of war fare, says the Detroit News. Subse quently Mosby’s force was pressed into the regular Confederate army. The men were dispersed and con cealed when not engaged in raiding asul #Iosby had in force a perfect sys tem of reassembling them on the shortest notice. Probably his most brilliant exploit was the capture of Brigadier General Stoughton, United States army, at Fairfax courthouse in 1863. To ac complish this he made a raid inside the Federal lines. One of his most im portant raids resulted in the capture of Sheridan's entire supply train. Mosby became a Republican after the war, and supported General Grant for the presidency, lie is said to have originated the phrase, “The solid South.” Beat at Her Cu)n Game Robert LaFollette Smith, of George town. Ind., is an eight-year-old boy with a vivid Imagination. His mother often takes advantage of that fact when she wishes him to obey. One morning he was too slow in getting ready for school, so his mother said: "Robert, you are getting ready to meet the morning train and it is al most due! Hurry, or you will miss it 1” As was expected, he immediately be gan to make that train and Mrs. Smith was congratulating herself for having solved a difficult problem when Robert suddenly lupsed into the old habit. “Robert, you’ll miss that train, sure!’’ she exclaimed with much con cern. "No, mother,” was the young hope ful’s reply. “I have just heard that my train is an hour late!”—Indiannp )lis News. WEEKLY MARKETGRAM. Washington, D. C., May 12, 1924.
