which was mounted a large cage
with several departments. Each
department contained a repreaenta-]
tion of some ferocious animal or
birds of prey. For instance there
was au owl which was labeled '‘Aus

Fugles," u goat as "South American

and a cat as an "African Lion.''
The wagon was also trimmed with

A strange snake story comes from
Harvey oountv, Kants*. It is told
on the evidence of two reputable oil
i/.en* A. L. Bartlcbaugb, a promi
nent grain buyer, of Newton, uml .)!
VV. Miller, a Dunkard farmer, of
Wanton. Mr. Miller has lost eight
tine cows as the result of the strange
freak of the monster bull snake that
ha* fattened from the milk he has
Bucked from the udders of Mr. Mil
lers herd. For several weeks the
farmer lias noticed that his town
have come up to the barnyard occa
sionally in an excited condition.
One of them was invarahly without
milk, ami its bag was badly swollen
inflamed. The cow in it few hours
would die appearently in great
agony. Mr. Miller, after losing
ni/f ll ( ilntnmnln.wl 4a Iaama <1...
came of the trouble.
One day he noticed that one of
the cows was racing madly about
the pasture at a terrible rate and
in a state of great excitement,
which wan soon felt by all the
other cattle in the Held. Approach
ing the cow Mi. Miller saw a mon
ster bull snake, eight feet in length
hanging to the teat, of the animal
with a grip that was not to bo shatc
en by the frantic efforts of the thor
oughly frightened bovine. As the
cow plunged on the snake was rap
idly absorbing the milk from the
udder. When the last drop had
been sucked away the snake dropped
off, and Mr. Miller killed it. The
body of the monster has been pre
served in alcohol nnd will be donat
ed to the museum of the .State Uni
versity at Lawrence. Since he
killed the snake Mr. Miller has lost
no more cows.—Kx.
The following is the way the

writes about Nebraska:
‘•There never wus a lime so aus

tors of the state press to unite, und
in the use of their columns make the
excellencies of Nebraska known to
all of the world. Its beautiful prai
ries present a view charming to the
eye, us a scene of varied and natur
al beauty. Its bounteous crops are
evidences of great prosperity. Its
growiug and flourishing cities and
towns are endowed with new life.
Its ranges are covered with the cat

adversity. Kverywhere the song of
joy and hope is heard, and in the
distance sounds the trump of mil
lions yet to bo who will make this
grand commonwealth one of umperi
al splendor, and the fairest in the
realm.
Stand up for Nebraska! Sound its
praises every whcie. It is oue of |
the fairest spots ou earth, matchless i

We are still handling the world renown ed Washburn Crosby
Company flour (which by the way,is ground iu Minneapolis,
Minnesota; which has given our customers excellent satis
faction every time. Head what Washburn Croahy Company
say in regard to It: ‘ There's as much difference In the
flour of some mills, us there is between an old windmill and
the most modern milling plant in the world. Much are the
famous mills of Washburn Croahy Company, in Minneapo
lis, Minnesota, IJ. H. A., having a enpasity of In,500 barrels
daily. Equipped with Hie very lafest improved machinery
for grinding the celebrated, “No. I Hurd” wheatof Minnesota
and Dakota, their well known “Superlative” and wold
Medal” brands, are recognized as the standard of high grade
Hours where ever they are used,
“This flour contains a large percentage of the gluten of
wheat, and a very small proportion of starch, ami lor this
reason bread made from it, does not become dry ami Listless
but retains the sweet flavor of the flour, and will keep moised
for several days.”
•‘See that the firm name, Washburn Crosby Con puny is
on every barrel, or sack of flour you buy, to insure your
having the genuine urticle.”
We also handle the Crete, Neb, flour, which as every one
