COMPLAIN OF CEMETERY From Thursday's Dally The Journal has received a num ber of complaints as to the condition of Oak Hill cemetery in regard to the fact that weeds have grown up there and marred the beauty of this city of the silent where sleep those who have been loved and lost a little while. Those who have visited the cem etery that that the weeds are very high in many places and growing between lots and generally causing the cemetery to appear very untidy and neglected save in a few isolated lots where there is evidence of care and thoughtfulness. There should be an effort made to have attention given to the cut ting the weeds and grass in the cemetery before the coming winter season and while the task of cut ting the grass and weeds in the cem ettry is too large for the sexton to be able to carry out alone there should be a step taken to have this work done and the cemetery placed in as good condition as possible. The general system of handling the cemetery seems to be one that does not give the best result and the affairs should be placed in the hands of a cemetery association that could give it more time and attention or the sexton should be paid a salary that would allow him giving prac tically all of his time to the care of the cemetery which under the pres ent system is impossible.

From Friday's Dally L. L. Turpin, court reporter in the second judicial district, and one of the officers of the Nebraska State Shorthand Reporters association, has just returned from, a visit of some three weeks at Ran Antonio, Texas, where he attended the meeting of the National Shorthand Reporters as sociation. While at the convention M,r. Turpin was one of the speakers on the program of the convention and discussed many of the problems of the court reporters as viewed here in Nebraska. Mr. Turpin was well pleased with the trip anl found many points f interest in San Antonio, one of the eldest settlements in Texas and which was a settled community in the days of the Spanish and Mexican rule in Texas. The chief feature of historic inteerst in San Antonio tc the visitor, is the famous Alamo, the scene of the heroic struggle of the Texans against the overwhelming forces of Santa Anna, Mexican presi dent and general, and in which the Americans fought to the death and fcliose struggle lit the fires of wrath that led to the severing of the south west from Mexico. There are also a number of the interesting old mis sions near the city, founded by the friars in the centuries gone by and a number of these missions are well preserved altho others are yielding to the passing time. The residents of San Antonio and the southwest part of Teras have much in common with the south and while equally western they have the pleasing southern accent and the easy going ways of the old south and also the spirit of hospitality that makes the stranger in their gates welcome and at home. The crop conditions in that sec tion of Texas are good Mr. Turpin states, the corn being matured there and while it Is considered a very good crop is not near like the yields in Nebraska and Iowa, as the country there is not the rich soil that is pro ductive of such large yields of corn. The cotton has been an abundant crop in the southwest but in many places a great deal of it Is marred by rust, caused by the heavy rain? early in the season and which will have a tendency to check the other wise large crop. While at San Antonio Mr. Turpin with the other members of the party enjoyed a trip through the Rio Grande valley, south of San Antonio and had the pleasure of visiting Brownville and other points of his toric interest and to view the touches of Mexican life and custom that has been very strongly marked in that part of Texas, as several of the Mex ican cities are just across the Ric Grande and the Americans and Mex icans have many visitors to and from both sides of the border.
