Glen CLOSING OUT SALE C. Bengen, of Mynard to Remove to Town to Reside Fro Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 16, 1909. I have Just returned from a trip to the State Soldier's Home at Mil ford and Grand Island, where the committee, of which I am a member, inspected the same on Friday, leav ing the city on Thursday night. Ve arrived at Milford about 7:30. Our party consisted of seven from the House and foru from the Senate eleven in all. After our arrival at Milford six of the party were con veyed to the Soldiers' Home for the night, and five to the Industrial Home, where the fallen women of the state are cared for, and in due course of time are found homes. Some of the young women come to this institution almost ready to give birth to a child. These young wo men are detained at the home for one year after the confinement when the child is kept at the home and the mother found employment else where. This is the most charitable institution in the state and is en tirely under the control of the Misses Ward, who former home was at Pamnee City. Here we remained over night and enjoyed the excellent breakfast next morning ere we were taken to the Soldiers' Home, two miles distant. Indeed we would fall far from do ing our duty did we omit saying a good word in behalf of the ladies and the good work they are accomplish ing for the unfortunate who seek aid at their hands. Here the wayward pended for the large stone building wood Opinion. which is already nearing completion at a cost of nearly . $20,000 to the tax payers of Nebraska, for the spec ial use of the commander, had been placed where it would do the most good there would be but little use for another appropriation. It should have been placed in extending the main building where the old veterans could get the benefit of it, instead of building a mansion for a man and his family, who keep themselves above associating with the men who orti Tuesday s Dally.

While In all probability arrest of the putative father of is to say that most of those who enter here go away with a resolve to lead a better life, and they generally ac complish the purpose for which this institution was established. There are thirty-three inmates in this institu tion, who are learning to sew, to cook, and are schooled. They put in one-half of the day in the school room, and the other half at the various other duties assigned them. Here they have an experienced seam stress who teaches dressmaking and other domestic household duties, and when they leave the home they go to accept a position for which each one may be especially adopted. There are also 26 young babies cared for here, ranging in age from one month to one year. These were either born here by some unfortuate young girl or who have been abandoned by some heart less mother. They are generously cared for and are kept as neat as any loving mother coftld possibly care for them. This institution is a God-send to the fallen women of Nebraska. Ev erything about the place is kept In that neatness which would surround the best of homes, and we Bay that it should be kept up to its present standard to which these ladles have placed it. There Is some talk of the state doing away with the Institu tion, and we hope such an Idea will never predominate, but that Instead, this legislature will grant it a very liberal appropriation and that the Misses Ward will be continued at its head for all time. They are very estimable ladies, and their work shows for itself. They fully under stand how to conduct such an insti tution, and we say they should not be removed from the position for which they are so eminently fitted The Soldiers' Home. We spout most of the forenoon at the Soldier's Home, where wo had the pleasure of meeting numerous old veteranH, many of whom are almost ready to answer to the last roll call. while others appear to be In fair health. The committee thoroughly Investigated the surroundings. A big appropriation will be asked for this home, but will be opposed by many in the legislature. If the money ex Government to Co-Operale With the Farmers to Get Better Results During the holiday recess I at tended a farmers' institute in each county of the First District, taking with me an expert from the office of Public Roads and another from the Bureau Of Plant Industry. My pri mary purpose was to present the work that is being done by the U. S. department of agriculture which is of direct practical benefit to the farmers. The experts of the depart ment have worked out certain meth ods which have been tried and proven to be a great success not only at the state experiment stations, but when applied on the farms. I have arranged with the Secretary of Agri culture to have two experts sent to the First District next spring to aid the farmers in introducing these im proved methods. These experts will visit the farms and give every assist ance possible in Introducing these new methods. Other states are avail ing themselves of this opportunity and I am in hopes that the farmers of my district will take advantage of It and secure the benefits of the latest and best improved method of selecting seens and the cul tivation of crops. Where these methods have been put Into pructlce they have resulted in increasing the yield from twenty to fifty per cent. vs Krampien et al.

His bill provides that the season shall ex tend from September 30 to November ."iO of each year. Some such legisla tion is demanded by the farmers throughout the country as they have been severe sufferers from the rav Pges of these little animals. They have destroyed much property not stopping at corn and grains but eat ing iiiurly anything which they hap pened to fancy. The Banning bill or some similar measure should lie pass ed to ki-rp them down. 2.

The announcement of the special awards for exhibits and individual birds at the poultry show at Omaha as Just been made public, and Plattsmouth stands well to the front the prize winners. Mr. W. C. Hamilton of this city, mention of whose unparalleled success has here tofore been made, wins out most of the special prizes. He is announced as the winner of the $25 gold special for the largest and best display in English class. He also Is selected as the winner of the $20 gold special for the largest and best display in the Orpington class. In addition he took down the silver cup given for the best cock, hen, cockerel and pul let a great distinction In a field with so many fine entries to compete with. In addition to these special prizes which are the bone of conten tlon In every poultry show, he took down thirteen regular and two spec ial ribbons. His share of the cash prizes amounted to $17, making his total winnings $62 In cash prizes, a Bllver cud and fifteen ribbons. This Is a record which Is well worth feel Ing proud of and Mr. Hamilton cer tainly knows from this that he has a selection of chickens which will compare more than favorably with any to be met. He has given the art of chicken raising all his time and his chickens now have a name known throughout the country as some of the finest strains to he found In every show In which he has ex hlbited, he has had the same pleas ant tale to tell a tale of one victory after another and one sweep In the field after another until such things have become old to him. It is a mat ter of pride to Plattsmouth people that they have so fine chickens In their city and they feel Justly prom! of Mr. Hamilton and his success and predict for him a brilliant future In his particular chosen field.

Travis Opens Jan uary Term Several Important Cases on Docket From Tuesday's Dally. Judge H. D. Travis yesterday morn ing opened the January term of the district court. The jury la not to appear until next Monday when the criminal docket will be taken up and disposed of, the law cases following. It is not thought that the criminal cases will take long to try as most of those on te docket have been dis missed or will be otherwise disposed of. The principal case on the crlm- . inal' docket is that of the State vs. Ossenkop and an effort will prob ably be made by Matthew Gerlng, at torney for Ossenkop, to obtain a con tinuance of the case until the next term. The grounds upon which a continuance will be asked Is the state of public feeling aroused by the shooting of John P. Thacker, by Johu Clarence and the probable ef fect of this shooting on public opin ion. Whether this showing will sat isfy the court remains to be seen. The case of State vs. Hixon will be for trial undoubtedly and the State vs. Watkins will also be for disposition. The business disposed of yesterday was as follows: v Ilerold vs. Coates.
