STATE FINALLY GAINS SU!Tip"3r"0f ldt"lhn' Te,eph0""-
i On each bank cf tlie Missouri river
An Interesting Land Cass in Boyd Coun
ty Just Decided.
Land Commissioner Eaton lias re
ceived information from the depart
ment of the interior, says the Lincoln
News, that the contention or the state
as to a quarter-section of land occupied
hy (I. W. McCright in Boyd county
has been sustained and that, thereby,
the state lias gained the last point in
the controversy over the school land
which have been in question for three
years. McCright raised the point that
a commissioner had made a choice of
lieu lands in Cherry county and claimed
the I Joy d county quarter-section sub
sequent to the settlement by him.
This, he claimed, gave him a better
right to the land than the school fund
and, on that ground, an appeal had
been taken to the United .States de
partment. The state admitted that it had
sought lieu lands in Cherry county,
but had given them up because they
were settled. The interior depart
ment now holds that the state had
the right to make its choice of the
lands set apart for that purpose and
that the prior occupation of the land
by McCright did not defeat that right.
Land Commissioner Eaton is pleased
with the decision since McCright's
case against the state was regarded as
the strongest of any set up ty the
claimants to the 2,200 acres of Iioyd
county land. The ruling of the de
partment settles the question should
it be raised by any of the other squat
ters who are now defendants in ori
ginal suits instituted by the state in
the supreme court for the purpose of
securing possession of the land. Sev
eral of the defendants are now in de
fault because of their failure to answer
and Attorney General Brown has
moved for judgment. Other cases
have been tiled and it is now believed
that within a few months the title of
the state will be fully confirmed.
The land, which is valued at $75,000,
would not have been surrendered to
the settlers at oiie time, if it had not
been for the refusal of Land Commis
sioner Follmer to sign the deeds. He
persisted in his attitude on the ground
that the act of the ligislature author
izing the disposition of the land was
invalid and violative of the constitu
tional provisions forbidding the alien
ation of the land. Follmer's attitude
led to the institution of suits against
him on behalf of the settlers and he
demanded that he be permitted to
secure his own counsel, refusing the
proffered assistance of the then attor
ney general, F. N. Prout, on the
ground that he had voted for the ces
sion of the lands to the settlers. The
district court of Iioyd county ruled
against him, but Follmer kept up the
fight and retained counsel who forced
their way into the proceedings at
every opportunity, attacking the pro
cedure adopted by the attorney gen
eral. For a time the case threatened
to become a political issue and Foll
mer's name was mentioned in connec
tion with the governorship.

der to meet mis requirement it was

HOW IT LOOKS IN FIGURES
The Year's
Bumper Crops
Market Value.
and Their
The September report of the har
vests holds out the promise of a roseate
future for the country, says the Phila
delphia Ledger. The indicated yield
of corn, 2,71;,yi8,000 bushels, is the
largest on record. The total indicated
wheat crop is 704,447,000 bushels, which
compares with the record yield of
748,4(50,000 bushels in VMl. This is
seven times as much wheat as the
country produced in 1850. At the
price now quoted the value of the corn
crop is $1,105,443, 920. At the current
price of wheat for May delivery at
Chicago the value of this crop is $(05,-
S44.420. The oats crop is valued at
$274,700,000. The value of the three
crops is $2,075,089,340, three times the
amount of the bonded debt of the
nation and about twice the amount of
the total public debt. There are other
crops which will contribute vastly to
the grand total representing the wealth
of the country in cereals. The figures
showing the average condition of these
minor crops when harvested are ex
ceedingly encouraging.
The price of farm products is begin
ning to recede under the promised
abundant supply. Flour has declined
$1 a barrel from the highest price re
ported last year. A statistician esti
mates that such a reduction is a gain
to consumers in the United States
approximating the snug sum of $100,
000,000, and adds that, inasmuch as
pessimistic comment has been dilating
upon the higher cost of living, it will
soon be in order to take note of a ma
terial reduction in the price of staple
food products. It is predicted that
cheaper meat will be the rule when
cattle fed on the present prolific corn
crop comes into the market next
spring, if the beef trust is merciful.
Intelligent observers of conditions
in the west note the expansion of busi
ness under the stimulus of the great
crops. The prosperity of -the farmers
is sure to be reflected In every mart
and to flow into every rill of industry,
rne transportation companies may
count upon increased earnings. It is
too early to estimate the relation
which this year's yield of foodstuffs in
America, will bear to the world's pro
duction, but there is no danger that
the United States will lose its pre
eminence in this respect.

OLD SLEUTH GIVES A TIP
Good and Bad Places for Men and Woman
i fn Pirru llnnnu nnrl lliinfor
luuanj rnuiicj ana laiuauica.
Never cany your wallet in your hip
pocket nor in your inside coat pocket,
unless you keep your coat buttoned.
The safest place is in your inside coat
pocket.
Don't carry loose greenbacks in the
outside pockets of your waistcoat, or
even in the big pockets of your
trousers. If you don't carry a wallet
the safest pocket is the little fob
pocket of your trousers.
Dou't carry your watch on a fob, un
less the fob or watch is fastened in
some way.
If you wear a diamond-scarf pin, a
diamond stud or other valuable piece
of jewelry in your tie or your bosom,
either have it fastened securely or
don't engage in stargazing while in a
crowd.
Above all things, don't carry your
purse in a leather handbag, unless it
has a double handle; that is, a handle
to each side of the bag, which will
keep the bag closed, even if a thief un
fastens the clasps.
Don't carry your purse in a pocket
in the back of your skirt, if you are
sutliciently independent of the pre
vailing fashion to have a pocket, have
it in the front of your petticoat, with
a slit through which you can reach it
The safest place for a woman to
carry her money is in her bosom, but
admitting that it isimpractcable when
shopping (though in vogue among old
fashioned German and irsh women)
the next safest place is in a purse
carried in your hand.
Don't carry anything valuable in a
a belt bag.
Never wear your watch on your
shirtwaist front or dangling from a
fob in your belt.
"These tips," said the detective,
"are not guaranteed to bring absolute
safety from pickpockets, but they are
reasonable precautions which every
sensible man or woman should take
when going where there are crowds.
"It's the easiest thing in the world
to steal a wallet from a man's hip
pocket or a purse from one of the
leather handbags now in fashion. Why
I advise the men to carry their wallets
inside their vest and their loose bills
in their tob pocket, and the women to
have an inside front pocket, is because
where clothes are loose the hand of a
thief is easily committed without
alarming the victim.
"In addition to these specific point
ers there is one general piece of advice
that all ought to observe, and that is,
be on the lookout for pickpockets in a
crowd.'
A Noble Deed.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Bee says: "Bichard Beagan,
the lfi-year-old boy who, after trying
in vain to make it a go out in the world,
fell from grace and stole a bicycle, for
which he was sentenced to pay a fine
of $25, touched the heart of J. W. Cut-
right, a reporter on the Lincoln News,
who took charge of the boy upon his
release yesterday. Cutright bought
the boy a suit of clothes, secured him
a good job and expects to stand be
tween him and trouble in the future."
Johnny Cutright is a former resident
of Plattsmouth, and at one time a re
porter on the Daily Journal. It was
Johnny who was shot by Hugh Mar
shall of Unionville, Mo., for an article
published in the Journal several years
ago in reference to his daughter. This
incident is still fresh in the minds of
many of the older residents. Johnny
is a noble fellow, with as warm a heart
as beats within any man's breast.

A Difference in Girls.
It is said that a Nebraska City girl
is so bashful she cannot see a sleeping
car without blushing; a Union girl
who faints at the sight of undressed
lumber; a Weeping Water girl who
locks herself in her room when she
changes her mind; a Louisville girl
who never thinks of retiring with,
a copy of the Christian Observer; a
Murray girl who is so shy she will not
wear undressed kid gloves. But all
these are not in it with the Platts
mouth girl who shies at the bare truth
of naked facts and eliminates from
her vocabulary garden-hose, bureau
drawers and dog pants, and always
turns her head when she sees the salad
dressing. But all these do not come
up with a young lady in a Glenwood,
Iowa, newspaper ottice, who refuses
to remain in the room while the
"forms" are being "made up."
Off for Washington.
Charles Hasson, who has been mer
chant night police in this city for
many years, loaded his household goods
into a car yesterday and departed with
them last evening for Davenport,
Washington. His son and family and
the family of E. S. Stiffler loaded their
household goods into the same car but
they will not leave until the middle of
this month.
How Startling !
In a write-up of a funeral an ex
change says: "The deceased lay quietly
in his co!lln.v That was eminently
decorous and a proper thing for him to
do. There is nothing that mars the
solemnity of a funeral more than for
the corpse to get up and cavort among
the mourners. It reflects rn the gen
tility of his breeding.
