Why don't soao of oar enterpris
ing farmers try raising sugar beets?
It seems to us that if tliey can be
raised to advantage in sunny Kansas
they certainly ought to be raised in
Nebraska. There is money to be
made in that indartry if it can be
successfully dne.
The city dads have had the stand
pipe cleaned out. When the man
hole was opened, eighteen inches of
solid uiud greeted the eyeB of the
looli-rs on. No dead men or any
thing like that was found therein,
consequently we must conclude that
the suit of clothes was only a 'delu
sion and a snare," cakulated to mis
lead an unexpecting communniiy.
We arc glad that there was nothing
else.
The city council hare been noti
fied .that the rcmonstratcrs against
the saloor licenses, ould procure a
mandamus from the Supreme court,
compelling them to hear their com
plaints. This move seems altogether
o be a piece of folly as they were
heard by the council once or twice be
fore licenses were granted to the ap
plicant?. What more do they want?
It is time that so much foolishness
was stopped by croakers who bare
nothing else to do.

The rains of the past ten dajs have
been more copious than for many pnst
seasons, and from that and other fa
vorable indications the farmcrr feci
confident that their offorts will be .c
warded with good and sufficient crops.
TnE Chief hopes this will be the case,
as much of the proppcrity ,f our city
depends upon tire succces of the far
mers who have failed to "reap what
they have sown." Let ns all hope,
then, that our agricultural friends
shall be doubly succcssfull this sea

a good omen, so let us look gladly
forward to its realization.

Sam Saunders and his father were
under arrest this week for abducting
Mablc Saunders who has played such
a wonderful part in a "legal tussle"
for her possession, between her moth
er and father. It seems that a few
weeks ago that an agreement was en
tered into between the parties to the
suit to the effect that she should be
allowed the previlege of going to the
country to see her grand parent?, and
at the expiration of two weeks was to
return. At that time she was sent af
ter, and while visiting in this state
was, as alleged by the defendant, ab
ducted to Kansas by her grand father.
A requisition was asked for and gran
ted, and the parties were brought to
Nebraska Monday and placed nnrtT
13,500 bonds. It will be somewhat
diCcult to decide the legal status of
this case, we should think.

The necessity of a change in the
methods of western farming is becom
ing more evident to our agricultural
friends every day. Cattle raising
has ceased to pay a sufficient proGt to
the farmer as a sole investment,
hence the question arises what shall
we do to make fanning n eucccfs?
Practically the dairy business pre
sents itself to the intelligent and
thrifty farmer as the only way out
of the difficulty, and it Is the opinion
of Tiie Chief that the dairy scheme
is the only method of solving the
problem, to successful farming. In
support of this theory wo brlieve that
if the farmer, by hook nr crook can
make the expenses of his farm from
his cows, he cerMnly has opened flic
way to succr? I til fanning, !nt
there's the rub. In order to do this
capital must he induced to locate
cheese factories and creameries', and
in "making one hand wash the other,"
Nebraska can become the banner ag
ricultural and dairy state in the un
ion. W'lh the expense lcconnt Fet
tled, the balance of the situation is
easily made out The corn crop, the
hay crop, and so forth, must be the
source of mony making but in the
event of a partial failure of crops the
farmer still has the means of living
at hand, and should he be careful and
economical he would not need to
mortgage his all to live on, until he
could again make a crop. The dairy
enterprises should be fostered and
carefully reared, as by so doing tin I
Facers uf "tir farmers arc assured.
otherwise there remains only a
chance of now and then a fellow's
waking anything at farming while
the rest eke out a meagre existence.
Jet the change' come boon.

After regular business, the presi
dents address was listened to, follow
cd by discusaions on various topics
as to the best methods of pieserving
the dead and conducting funerals.
The object of the association is not
to raise prices, but to educate its
members in all the arts of embalming
and proper care for the dead. After
the presidents address the meeting
adjourned to meet in Blue Hill the
2nd Tuesday in September.
PRESIDENT BROWN'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen; fraternal bretheren of
Webster and Nuckolls county funeral
directors association: In the com se
of time we are again brought together
at our regular meeting, this time in
the city of Red Cloud
To attain perfection in anything we
innot do as an individual, man
kind is not constituted on that prin
ciple Now this business of ours is differ
ent from any other which can inform
the public by advertising on any sub
ject connected with it that may be
necessary. It is considered bad taste
for any undertaker to do any adver
tising further than put bis business
card in the paper so that information
or instruction we have to convey to
the public must be done judiciously
and it cannot be done unless we had
the public ourselves
To bring forth these conditions
however we must prosecute and es
tablish district associations all over
the country and endtavor to embrace
every man who is engaged in the ousi-
ncss of selling coffins, so that he may
be instructed in the requirements of
the business
Wc have the honor to be the first
district association established in the
state of Nebraska and I hope all of
ns will go to Lincoln next month and
urgo the necessity of the members
over the state going home and organ
izing in their different districts. We
con refer them to what we have done
here that we have obtained nearly
every ono engaged in the business as
district and state members and we
wish them to do likewise and if our
influence and example can excite sim
ilar work throughout the state we can
look forward to the time when the
work and science displayed in our
business will be a priue and credit to
its members instead of as in years
past it was often practiced by men of
no skill and little character. To ob
tain this end wc must bear in mind
that it will require individual effort
not only the officers of our societies
will be requested to perform their du
ties faithfully but we must all put out
some individual effort. Wc may
think wc cannot spare the lime to go
to Lincoln, but it is only once a year.
The fees are nominal compared to the
instructions and benefits received.
We will likely have special railroad
rates and I would again urge every
one to be sure and attend our state
meeting.
