give a greater yield and another was
the diversifying of the crops on the
farm so that the yields would give
the farmer real results. The policy
of putting in torn and wheat year
after year when the prices were poor
when by placing the land to other
uses the fanner could realize a much
greater return was pointed out as
one of the means of giving the farm

south. In Wisconsin where the farm
ing interests are largely dairy, the
speaker stated, the farmers were en
joying real prosperity at this time
and had done so over the period of
depression. Mr. Gamble read figures
to show the importation of farm pro

the fact that there were far less pro

From Friday's Daily
XVm. Jameson and his twin sister,
Mary, were born on Oct. Sth, 1S45,
at Johnstown, Trumble county, Ohio.
The sister died on November 26,
IS 4 5. aged one month and 16 days.
The war come on and he enlisted
in Co. D 2nd regiment of Ohio Vol
unteer cavalry on Aug. 19, 164, for
one year. He was honorably dis
charged from the service on June lu,
165, at Benton Barracks, St. Louis,
Missouri.
During his time of service he and
a company of men were out on a re
connoiterlng expedition and were
captured by the rebels and sent to
Libby prison, where he spent three
months. While there he contracted a
disease of the throat which followed
him through his life, a sort of para
lyzed condition which made it hard
'to swallow solid food. He was ex
i changed with other prisoners and
sent north, after suffering in that
black hole of death for three months. '

Brother of Jchn W. Crabill and
Well Known and Highly Re

From Thursday's Daiiy:
Suddenly and without warning
another tragedy descended on the
community of Louisville yesterday
I afternoon shortly after 1:30 which
itook toll of the life of William Ezra
I Crabill, a well known and highly re
spected resident of that community,
and a former riattsmouth man.
The death of Mr. Crabill occurred ;

Jtons of rock in one of the tunnels

prying off sections of the loose shale
rock on the roof of the tunnel which
it was planned to scale off until the
smooth and solid rock was uncovered.
In the same tunnel at little dis
tance were two other workmen shov
eling out rock who noticed Mr. Cra-
,u prying at the rock and evidently
ie had dislodged a much larger sec-
tion than he intended as the next
thing the other workmen was when
the crash occurred as the five tons
of rock gave way and buried the un
fortunate man beneath the piles of
shale and it was some time before
the body could be removed and it was
found that life was extinct and many
of the bones in the limb3 and body of
Mr. Crabill .ere broken by the force
of the weight of the rock.
As soon as the 1ki.1v was recovered
the message of the death was sent
here to the brother, John W. Crabill,
who hastened to te scene of the
tragedy but fouad that the brother
had died almost instantly under the
crushing force of the rock.
The deceased was for many years a
resident of Cass county ana lived iu
Plattsmouth in hi3 younger days
where his family ht.d made their
home for a long periud. He leaves
to mourn his death the wife, former- ;
