DAVE AMICK RETURNS
FROM A TRIP DOWN
THROUGH ARANSAS
tTom Saturday's Dally.
I.at fveiiinfr Iavo Amick ro
turiu'il home from a trip inl
southea-tTii Arkansas, whei-e Iih
has extensive land interests, ami
he returns lilloil with (h-Iijrht at
ttie conditions he found in tiiat
state. Aniiek's hoy, Thede, lias a
larpre farm near Montieello,
Arkansas, near that of his fattier,
and is lookinpr after the manage
ment of hoth of the places, and
the result of his efforts will he a
larpe crop of cotton, although the
season there has been rather dry,
buUas Mr. Amick described it, "If
it's dry they will have cotton and
if the usual rainfall is secured
there will be more cotton." The
conditions there are strange to a
man from the north, as the handl
ing of the cotton crop is vastly
different from the methods of
farminp: ued in Nebraska and the
corn and wheat producing: states.
In that state the farmers from
the north who have moved there
find that the ideal crop is cotton,
as the soil and conditions are
peculiarly adopted to the raisin?
of Ibis crop anl almost all the
farms are devoted In this crop to
the exclusion of others. Thede
Amick will, as his father states,
have a yield of at least one bale of
cotton to the acre, and this will
net from sro to SfiO, while the
cotton seed can be used in the
makintr of stock food that will
brinpr a pood price in the northern
markets. In Arkansas the labor
on the plantations is performed
almost exclusively by the neproes,
as they seem to be the only per
sons titled to handle the job of
carina: for and picking the cotton.
The wages paid to the colored
help in that state are very reason
able and it is an easy matter to
secure all that is needed.
MRS. ANNA DOTY IS
GRANTED LICENSE TO OP
ERATE A FERRY BOAT
At the recent meeting of the
county "commissioners the ap
plication of Mrs. Anna Doty for
permission to operate a ferry over
the Missouri river just below the
Burlington bridge was passed up
on and the application granted for
a period of lie years upon the
payment of the license fee of $3
per year and furnishing a bond in
the sum of -S 1 00. Mrs. Doty is the
owner of the ferry at present and
this is merely a renewal of the
license to operate the concern.
The ferry here is a good paying
proposition, as the heavy increase
in the use of automobiles has
made it greatly in demand by
parlies going to and from this
state into Iowa and from that
state over here. John Richardson
ha? the direct management of the
ferry and looks after it in excel
lent shape.
Happy Over a New Son.
The news has been received
her of the arrival at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Reynolds of a fine
bouncing nine-pound boy baby.
The little man is doing nicely, as
is the mother also, while Kd is
considerably proud over the ad
dition to the family. It is need
less to say that "Grandpa" li. J.
Reynolds is delighted over the
new arrival, as it is the first
grandchild and is therefore
the object of much admiration.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are
former residents of this city and
their friends will heartily rejoice
in their new happiness.
Nelson Jean and brother, Will
Jean, were in South Omaha today,
where they were attending a horse
sale being held on the market
there.
HORNETS CAUSE A
SEVERE ACCIDENT TO WILL
TAMS WHILE AT WORK
Will Tarns, who was engaged
in some carpenter work on the
residence of Charles Miller in this
city, met with quite a painful ac
cident yesterday afternoon that
will lay him up for a short time.
He was working on a scaffold
some twelve feet, from the ground
in a place on the house where a
hornets' nest had been dislodged
a short time before, and the
aforesaid hornets suddenly re
turned to their former abode to
discover the cause of their heing
deprived of their nest and began
to hum dangerously near to Will,
who stepped backward, and in d
intr so fell from the scaffold
alighting with considerable force
on the ground and bruising him
self quite badly, lie hastened to
llu oHice of a physician lo have
the injuries examined. A very
severe bruise op contusion was
found on the right arm and wrist,
but it was impossible i find any
sign of a fracture and it is
thought that the patient will be
all right in a few days. He will,
however, enjoy a layolT from his
tint ies for a time.
MRS. M. 0. MARQUARDT
OF AVOCA DIES FROM
BURNS SHE RECEIVED
From Saturday's Daily.
A message was received in the
city this morning from Avoca an
nouncing the sad news of the
death of Mrs. M. D. Maiquardt of
that place at S o'clock last even
in sr as a result of the hums re
ceived by her Wednesday after
noon in attempting to light a
gasoline stove. At the time it
was feared that the injuries minht
prove fatal, but all that was pos
sible was done without avail and
he steadily grew worse until her
death.
The funeral will be held tomor
row afternoon at 2 o'clock from
her home in Avoca. and the inter
ment will be made in the cemetery
there. She was well known
throughout the southern portion
of the county and her death will
come as a bitter shock to h'
manv friends.
SUPERVISORS OF MILLS
COUNTY, IOWA. VISIT
OUR POOR FARM
The splendid results of the
management of the county poor
farm, as well as the excellent
buildings maintained there, has
attracted a great deal of atten
tion throughout the state, and all
authorities concede that the Cass
county farm is one of the best
maintained as well as managed of
any in this section of the country.
The county supervisors of
Mills county, Iowa, were here
Wednesday to look over the farm
and were well pleased wilh the
way things looked there. The
Mills county farm suffered the
loss on Tuesday of the building
used as a resilience by the in
mates, as it was burned to the
ground, and their visit was to
look over the building recently
erected by the commissioners of
this countv. the visitors were
delighted with the results secured
at such a small outlay of money
in the building put up by the
county and were loud in their
praise of the commissioners for
llieir able management that secur
ed for the good people such re
sults. On looking over the man
agement of the farm the Iowa
gentlemen were still greater sur
prised to learn that the Cass
county farm was self-supporting
and under the management of
Superintendent Tarns a line profit
is accumulated each year. The
Iowa supervisors will in all
likelihood model their new farm
building along the lines of the one
in this city, as it is the most con
venient and teh cheapest that it
is possible to secure.

To Meet in Pacific Junction.
The committee of arrange
ments of the famous Wiles Fam
ily Reunion was in Pacific Junc
tion on Wednesday, having in
view tossecure the city park for
this year's reunion. The reunion
is usually held the last Thursday
in August. This family's annual
gathering has become a well
known affair, both in Cass county,
Nebraska, and Mills county.
'lenwood Tribune.
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC'S
UNGRATEFULNESS TO
RESIDENTS OF COUNTY
The resilient: of the county
who live on tin branch of the
Missouri pacific running from
Avoca to Louisville are express
ing themselves in no mild terms
concerning the re.- nf change in
time on that line thai makes it
almost impossible for them to
reach laftsmoufh and return
without m akin? a stopover either
here or in Louisville. Under the
new schedule the Missouri Pacific
train from the south arrives in
Louisville at ;:10 in the morning
at the very minute when the Bur
lington train for Plat tsnioul h is
scheduled to leave. The after
noon train from Omaha has been
arranged so as to leave Louisville
at 3:."7 in the afternoon while the
Schuyler train of lh Burlington
do.es not arrive until i:10. too
late lo allow passengers from
Plattsuiouth to make the connec
tions. The Burlington in their
dealings with the people have
been very fair and have shown a
disposition to try and accommo
date as far as possible the travel
ing public but the Missouri Pa
cific certainly does not propose to
Hive the slightest improvement
in their service to IMattsmouth
and return, and on the contrary
have arranged their schedules
with the result that makes it al
most impossible for anyone in the
central part of the county to come
here without taking- almost as
much time as it takes to reach
Chicago. The inalter is one that
the state railway commission
should take up in justice to the
residents of the entire county.
THE C. R. S. GIRLS
MYRA STENNER
From Saturday's Dally.
Last evening at the handsome
home of Misses Coenna and Bess
llandley the C. R. S. Cols club
entertained in a most charming
manner in honor of Miss Myra
Stenner, who is soon to leave for
Lincoln lo make her future home.
There were in addition to the
jolly crowd of young ladies a
number of the young men who
were schoolmates of Miss sten
ner present to make the evening
one of the rarest enjoyment. The
evening was .-pent delightfully in
-rames and music until a suitable
hour, when delicious light re
freshments were served that ad
ded greatly to the pleasure of the
occasion. Those taking part in
the pleasant affair were; Misses
Myra Stenner, Vera and Margaret
Moore, Ola and Mina Kaffenberg

Returns Home From Hospital.
From Saturday's Dally.
This afternoon William Plalt
gaster, who lias been at the Im
manuel hospital in Omaha for the
past five weeks, was enabled to re
turn home, feeling greatly im
proved in health over his former
condition. Mr. Piatt gaster was
compelled lo undergo two opera
tions at the hospital, one for ap
pendicitis and one for a tumor,
and his friends will be pleased to
learn that he has recovered so
nicely. Be was a member of the
Sons of Herman, which order
looked afler his interests while
he was in the hospital.
E. P. Stewart and wife and lit
tle daughter, Frances, were
among the passengers this morn
ing for Omaha, where the little
girl will meet her aunt and go to
Hamburg, Iowa, for a short visit.

Good Reason for His Enthusiasm.
When a man has suffered for
several days with colic, diarrhoea
or other form of bowel complaint
and is then cured sound and well
by one or two doses of Chamber
Iain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, as is often the
case, it is but natural that he
should be enthusiastic in his
praise of tb.e remedy, and espec
ially is tbis the case of a severo
attack when life is threatened.
Try it when in need of such a
remedy. It never fails. Sold by
