Walker, which was followed by Miss

cerning the tribulations of a woman

A.S. Wills, the E;ght Mile Grove
farmer and cattle-feeder, took his five
carloads, consisting of 101 bead, of cat
tle to the South Omaha market on
TueMlay last and was favorably dis
appointed at the result of his venture.
His cattle were two-year olds, had
been fed four months and weighed an
average of V2'o lbs. They brought
him a hundred, net, on the market.
II is neighbor, I. X. Minford. had one
carload nineteen head on the mar
ket the same day. They were four
y eAt'K oM and hrotmht &5.15 Tbe ex-p-rinre
of thest! iut-n with respect to
their rattle feeding is worth record
ing Mr. Wills' cattle netted
profit per head for the work of feeding
them, which was done inside of four
months. IJesides this, 200 head of
young hos ran in the lot and gained
probably 100 pound apiece from the
same feed. Mr. Minford bought large.
well-grown steers to begin with, fed!
them for eight months and, counting
out first cost and cost of feeding, as in
the other case, his cattle netted him
$12 HO per head. Thus it is seen that
buying young cattle and getting them
on the market early is twice as profit
able as buying matured steers, which
gain nothing in bone and blood by
feeding. The demons ration thus
made ojght to be of some value to
other cattle feeders.
Mr. Wills has proven that it pays to
feed cattle right, even when feed costs
an average of thirty-five cents a
bushel, and that West Virginians can
make money in Nebraska as well as
men of Yankee origin.

John Fitzgerald, the hackman, nar

The mayor of Plattsmouth is evi
dently preparing things for hix re
election, as he has driven all of the
bad worr tu and gamblers out of the
city and forced the saloons to take
down the screens iu the front of their
places of business. The city council
is in the same boat with him. Platts
mouth proposes to have a boom, if not
in one way it must be in another, and
this is their way of creating one. Ne

cents a bushel. That is about the
cheapest potatoes ever sold for at this
titoe of the year.

We see that another penitentiary
convict running at large under the
new parole-prisoner law, has been
seut to jail in Beatrice for resisting an
oJicer. Here is another opportunity
for the governor to enforce the con
ditions of the parole aud recall the
convict to serve his unexpired sen
tence. Why should men be allowed
to avail themselves of this law unless
they really intend to reform their
lives? A man who can uot keep out of
jail when given his freedom has evi
dently not learned the lesson of his
original imprisonment. The recall of
the paroles of such convicts is no more
than fair to those convicts who make
the best use of their conditional lib
erty. Bee.

A Lincoln gentleman, w ho recently
made a fishing trip to Ashland, comes
back highly indignant at the way the
fish law is violated. He says that he
pitched his tent a half mile east of
Ashland, where the Burlirgton &

cured about two tons of fish each time.

David Hawksworth of Plattsmouth,
who has general supervision of the me
chanical department of the Burling
ton in ttiese parts, was in Lincoln
Wednesday aud gave orders to have all
of the freight care of that line pre
pared for the era of uniform automatic
couplers to conform to the new federal
law which will go into effect next year.
This law lixes the height of cars above
the track all over the United States, so
that all will be uniform and cars of
one line can be attached to those of
another without endangering the lives
of the switchmen making the connec
tions. It requires that the center of
tbe pui-iiolr, where the coupling pin
enters the drawbar, must be 34 4 inches
above the top ot the rails of the track.
The Burlington has about 40,000
freight cars and the work of raising
them, for they are all now too low, to
the established level is one of consider
able magnitude. This line has adopted
the Jenny automatic coupler, which is
geneially considered by railroad men
one of tbe best and safest for the men.
It is believed by railroad men that
when all of the lines in the country
have equipped their cars with auto
matic couplers the loss of life among
switchmen will be materially de
creased. i A. II. IHntrict Kunlon.
