Farmers are
to Receive a
Call by Radio
Gov. McMullen Names It Second Great
Caravan of Covered Wagons to
Protect an Empire.
"You boys have been having fun
with the aimy called to march on
the national conventions," said Gov.
ernor McMullen in answer to ques-
' tions of reporters, "but let me tell
you this, it is to be the second great
caravan of covered wagons. The first
caravan pioneered an empire in the
west. The second will pioneer pro
tection and maintenance of that em
pire. What is the use to have an em
pire unless you protect it?
"We ask farmers to get into their
flivvers and go to Kansas City. We
already have offers of ground. We
will have water and things of that
kind and other service. We expect
farmers to go on thir own and pro
vide their own subsistence, as we
have no funds. We will give them
a place to put their cars and a placQ
to sleep. They will pay for their
own food. Kansas City will care for
them as they will for all who come.
"The members of the caravan will
be there only a few days. Farmers !
can afford to give their time for a 1
whole season if they can get their j
rigius. ah iney can uo is to carry
the idea that farmers do not want
and do not need anything is not so.
We want to see if the will of the
people. is to prevail.
"Congress has its caravans of
lobbyists, representing different in
terests, but when farmers want one
it seems funny to some. There rwill
be 100,000 there. We expect to
broadcast a call from some broadcast
ing station giving details of plans for
assembling. We already have offers
from broadcasting stafiions. Plans
will all be worked out. We have
asked officers of the convention to
give as much space as possible in
the hall. Everything will be orderly.
Each one will be given a badge to
distinguish visiting farmers from
others. Any man in accord without
our views will be given a badge.
" We shall insist at Kansas City
on a definite specific statement in
the platform, even to the naming of
the McNary-IIaugen bill. The first
battle will center around the agri
cultural plank in the national plat
form." Governor McMullen paid he had
received many messages by wire.
One from H. L. Sams of Scottsblulf,
secretary of the county republican
committee, says: "The president
thru ignorance and New England
provincialism has betrayed the Am
erican farmer. Casual observation
shows objections based on prejudice
not facts. Agricultural districts will
be solid against any candidate for
president dominated by the indus
trial east."
The governor declined to say
whether Woods Bros, of Lincoln had
offered their lands on the river at
Kansas City for a parking or camp
ing place for the caravan.
REAL M0THERG00D
From Fridays Daily
For several years the Burlington
pumping station at the local shops
has had domiciled there a fine old
cat, who has reared several families
of kittens to full cathood, but who
has now taken on another job of
rearing a strange family.
The cat a few days ago gave birth
to two fine little kittens and two
days ago made an addition to her
family by adopting seven small rab-
i bits who are now a part of the f am-
.iiy-
) The mother cat had discovered the
family of rabbits somewhere in the
vicinity of the shops and Wednesday
she commenced moving the tiny lit
the bunnies to their new home, carry
ing each one by the neck to the place
where ahe had the nest for her kit
tens and after several long trips the
cat had all of the rabbits safely at
their new home and has since that
time been feeding the rabbits along
with her own kittens, the rabbits and
kittens dwelling in peace and har
mony with the care of the common
mother. Two of the rabbits have
died but the five remaining and the
two kittens are thriving nicely under
the care of the old cat.
The Instinct of the cats are usually
to kill the young rabbits but i"n thia
case the old mother cat has shown
her full maternal feeling by adopt
ing the rabbits as her own.

Well Known
Old Resident of
Louisville Dies
Fred Brand, Blacksmith for the Past
Forty-Five Years Dies in
Omaha Hospital.
One of the well known residents of
the vicinity of Louisville for the past
forty-five ytars, Fred Brand, was
called by death on Tuesday iiiRht at
the University hospital at Omaha
where he had been taken the last
week and where he was operated on
Sunday evening for hernia.
Mr. Brand who has been somewhat
of a recluse and a rather eccentric
character, had lived alone on a small
place that he had near the town of
Louisville and he was found at his
home last week by Charles Hennings,
who found the aged man ill and in
very pitable condition, having been
helpless for three days, and unable
to summon help to his assistance.
Mr. Hennings called other neigh
bors and Dr. K. II. Wortrfcan of
Louisville, and after an examination
the aged man was taken to the hos
pital at Omaha bv II. B. Koop, cash
ier of the Home State bank and
where the operation was performed.
The aged man came through the
operation nicely but his undernour
ished condition made it impossible
for him to rally from his illness and
the long suffering from the hernia,
and death finally came to his relief.
Mr. Brand was seventy-five years
of age and came to America from
his boyhood home in Germany in
1882, going first to Otoe county for
a short time and then came to Platts
mouth where he worked for
a short time in the local shops. Ho
lived here only a short time and then
removed to Louisville where he en
gaged in the blacksmith business for
the remainder of his lifetime.
He was well known in Louisville
and had made many friends who re
gretted to learn of his passing.
The body was brought to Louis
ville Thursday and the funeral ser
vices held yesterday afternoon at the
Lutheran church. Rev. Theodore
Hartman holding the services and
the interment was mc.de at the Glen
dale cemetery east of Louisville.
GLAD ULTRA DRY BEATEN
San Antonio, Tex.. May 25. John
Boyle of San Antonio, leader of the
forces in Texas seeking the nomin
ation of Governor Smith of New
York as the democratic candidate for
president, said in a statement here
today that he had "no substantial
grievance" against Governor Moody
of Texas as a result of the state dem
ocratic convention at Beaumont on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
"Governor Moody prevailed in the
adoption of the platform for whiclT
he fought," Boyle said, "and con
tributed more than anyone to the
defeat of Tom Love (leader of the
ulta-drys, seeking instruction against
Governor Smitli or any other wet.'
('I can bold no substantial griev
ance against him when I remember
that he performed a great service
for Texas by eliminating Tom Love
and in commilting Texas democrats
to remain loyal to the nominee in
the June convention and in lower
ing into the platform the sound dem
ocratic plank on religious freedom."

Daylight Stickup of Bank Occurred
This Morning at 10 O'Clock;
Search On Here.
From Saturday's Dall
This morning at 10 o'clock the
First National bank at Wymore, Ne
braska, was added to the list of bank
ing institutions that have been loot
ed by stick up men, the raid on the
institution occurring when five men
entered the bank and proceeded to
stick up the officers and clerks of
the bank and s-ecuring some $5,000
in cash and made their escape.
The announcement of the holdup
was received here shortly after it oc
curred by Sheriff Bert Reed, who was
called by State Sheriff W. C. Condit
and the car in which the robbers
made their escape was described as a
wine colored Nash sedan that bore
the license, Nebraska No. 1-26233,
being apparently a Douglas county
car.
It was thought that the robbers
were seeking to make their way into
Omaha and Sheriff Reed accompanied
by Constable Tom Svoboda and Offi
cer Joe Libershal drove to Louisville
to watch the bridge at that point
while Deputy Sheriff Young and Of
ficer Dave Pickrel were stationed at
the Platte river bridge north of this
city to check any attempto f the rob
bers to make their getaway through
this locality.
It was thought at the office of the
state sheriff that the robbers were
the same that recently held up a
bank in eastern Colorado and made
their escape from the scene and are
supposed to have come to Nebraska.
The town of Wymore is located in
southern Gage county about halfway
between "Bcatrfice and the Kansas
state line ar.d the authorities in all
of the neighboring counties of Ne
braska, Kansas and Missouri have
been notified of the robbery and to
guard all roads that might permit
their escape.
The Missouri river ferry at this
place is also being guarded to pre
vent any cars that might possibly
contain the robbers getting across
the river into Iowa.
