The Thaw case has at last got its jury selected and the trial is now going on. much to the delight of the lovers of that kind of reading. From a sensible point of view, how much better it would have been had White killed Thaw as well, and thus save the public the exhibition now going on. The sub-committee of-the joint railroad committee of the house and senate appointed to draft a 2-eent passenger rate bill has completed its work and presented a bill to that effect, using the former law amended to read 2 instead of 3 cents per mile. It will probably come before the two houses some day this week. In answer to the query of the Aurora Sun of last week. “What does the editor of the Northwestern, a re publican newspaper, think of his re form legislature?'' our answer is that a majority are all right, while a few. like some of the fusion members, need a good deal of "lisin." But do not think. Dear Sun. that the buckers against the remedial matters favored by the last state republican platform will succeed in their aims, but rather that the anti-pass, state-wide primary and other needed measures will be come laws in spite of the insane desire of the opposition that they may not. because of their republican parentage Walt. Smith Likes New Home. Boise, Idaho. Jan. 30. 1907—Editor Northwestern: I will try and write you a few lines this evening to let you know that I has n't forgotten you. We are all well and enjoying good health. We are having a tine wdnter. with some snow which does not stay long, as we have gone to bed several nights with the ground covered with snow and when we got up it was all gone. This is a tine climate here and so far we all like it real well, and the big red apples are fine. Boise is a good town, there being a great deal of improvement going to be done this summer. The government is going to spend $300,000 on their fort and are building an electric rail row! from Boise to Eagle, then to Star and Col well. Boise has over 20,0<K) inhabit ants now and has the making of a good place. I have bought property here and we are at home again. This is a great fruit country. the tnest in the world. We have all kinds of fruit, cherries, peaches, prunes and a large plum on our property, which is just outside of the city, so we are on a Rural Route, street cars and schools within two blocks. Property is pretty high here, but is changing all the time. I think it a better place to live in than in Nebraska, as we don't have the cold winds to contend with. The snow is several feet deep on the mountains and the ground is black, and lots of water in the river, which means good crops nest year. I have been fishing once since I came and we caught lfi fish with pitchforks, and it is fine sport. They have had more winter than they have had for years, so old timers tell me. Well. 1 will close for this time. Yours truly. Walter E. Smitfc Farmer’s Institute, Eeb. 19-20. Ex-Gov. Poynter was one of the most successful dairymen in the state of Nebraska and in discussing the dairy subject lie covers the following points: What constitutes tne dairy herd: the selection and breeding: shelter, feed, water: regularity in caring for the animals. Gov. Poynter will be one of the speakers here. Here are some of the subjects for discussion before the institute: Read for the farmer himself, for his wife and for his. sons and daughters: liter ature relating to his life work: lias more and cheaper literature than the members of any other profession: a better opportunity to digest and a: - similate what he reads: literature prepared by the state and govern ment and what it is worth to the farmer. C. G. Marshall, who will be one of the speakers at the institute, discuss es ‘“Soil Fertility and Proper Tillage.” In this discussion lie covers the fol lowing points: The object of tillage: movement of water in the sol,: how water is held in the soil; how plants get water from the soil: amount of soli moisture necessary for plant growth; conservation of soil moisture; thorough cultivation; wind breaks and mulches; examples taken from culture tests at the Experiment Sta tion; examples from practical experi ence on the farm and In the nursery and from laboratory experiments; what constitutes fertility in the soil; methods of maintaining soil fertility: proper rotation of crops; allowing the soil to degenerate a losing proposition. [ ! Accident Kear Sweetwater. While on their way home from Ra venna, last Wednesday evening, a very | serious accident occurred to Mr. Frank | Bezdek and a party of relatives and i friends, by the upsetting of their wagon on a particularly treacherous piece of road a short distance east of the Sweetwater school house. The re ad at that point has been cut out of a high bluff, which rises on the south side of the highway. On the opposite side there is a deep ditch or draw. When the road was graded the surface of the road was left with quite an incline towards the ditch side of the road, presumably for drainage purposes, and on this occasion the roadway being covered with ice, the horses slipped and the wagon veered to the side of the road and toppled over and the whole rig rolled down the steep enbankment. a distance of ten or fifteen feet. Aside from minor bruises Mr. Bez dek. the driver, was unhurt, but Mr. Vtiple had his collar bone broken and also his shoulder blade, and his arm was fractured at a point close to the shoulder joint. Albert Abrams, who was also an occupant of the w agon had his right fhoulder dislocated, and the fourth member of the party, a relative of Mr. Bezdek's. only recently arrived in this country from Bohemia, had his wrist dislocated and both bones of his arm broken at a point about four inches above the wrist. Mr. Bezdek made his way to the nearest house and secured assistance to take the injured men to his home, located eight miles west of Ravenna. I)r. Penn was telephoned for. reach ing the Bezdek home about nine o'clock and he worked for the greater j part of the night, setting the broken tones and giving such relief as he could to the injured men.—Ravehna News. The ground hog surely had to crawl into his hole Monday for another sis week's stay, as Old Sol shone on that day with wonderful brilliancy for a few hours.
