Unknown Nan
Dies Suddenly
On Tuesday morning an unknown
colored man was found by railroad
employees to be critical ill near the
water tank, and before medical aid
could be secured, death resulted. The
body was taken in charge by Coroner
Atnack, but there was nothing found
iu his possession by which he could be
jdeuttfled except a mark, "Harvey E."
which was on his vest. Inquiry ie
veals the fact, however, Unit he had
arrived in the city on a height train
aiotiuay una was waiting for No 14,
which passes through here at au early
hour, when stricken with death. Be
was observed by several persons up
town on Monday evening, and begged
lor loud at several places. Some of
the employees of the railroad in the
diuiug car service, are authority for
the statement that he told them that
the food he secured here, was the first
he had eaten for four days. He also
stated that he had been in Denver for
some time past,and was on his way to
his home in Kansas City. The cause
of his death has been decided to have
been from over eating, aud should all
efforts to identify him, or to locate
any of his people prove fruitless the
body will be burled here in s few
days.

Toi'EKA, Kan., July 8. The plague
which killed more than 25,000 horses
and mules in Kansas last year was not
an infectious disease, but due to a
poison, was the report today of the
special committee of the state univers
ity appointed to investigate the sub
ject. A parasitic fungi growing on
the gratns and other vegetation caused
the death of the horses and mules, ac
cording to the report and the poison
ous OMdltlons in the pastures was due
to the txcessive moisture and humidity,
accompanied by high temperatures,

Red Cloud Held
Big Celebration
Bed Cloud's greatest celebrntlou Is n
thing of the pii-l. lMlmutos of the
crowd. varied all the way from six to
fifteen thotumud. A low estimate
would place the attendance of those
outside the city at four thousand.
There were hundreds of automobiles,'
carriages unnumbeied, aud each of
the tralus carried full loads from the
nearby towns.
The street amusements tilled the
bill. They satisfied the spectators.
The bicycle performers and the acro
bats earned their money, and gave the
people'somethlng that paid then for
their trouble in coming to town. The
Merry-go-round and Ferris Wheel were
patrouized to their full capacity.
No drunken men were observed on
the streets. There were no tights, tio
disturbances of any kind Everybody
seemed determined to be good natared
and assist everybody else in having a
good time. '
The day was fiercely hot. Wblla
stiff breeze blew, it was uot at all
cooling. A threatened shower iu the
late aftei noon sent most of. the car
riages and autos home. All prosyeet
of the aviator arriving to fflve his lex-
lhlbltlon faded, aud at least half othe

At about six o'clock an auto travers
ed the streets aud the announcement
as made through a magaphoue that
the aviator was ou his way and might
be expected iu ton minutes. But he
failed to appear. The explanation of
his absence appears in u letter in au
other columu.
Those who remained aud came down
town were well re-paid by the street
exhibitions, the electric light display
and the appearance of the multitudes.
Among the exhibitions, the drill of
the young ladies belonging to the
Boyal Neighbors was one of the most
perfect and entertaining specatacle of
its kind we have ever witnessed.
The electric display consisted of
twelve hundred lights, red, white and
blue, hung in streamers across the
street. These were In addition to thai
usual street lights and made the cen
tral part of the city a thing of beauty.
The Red Cloud band under the
eflielent leadership of l'rofBeU kept
the air filled with animating music.
Abeut a thousand endured the heat
and discomfort of the rough benches
to hear Gov. Morehead, and weio re
warded for their heroism by a speech
well worth their hearing,
The base hall enthusiasm was uot
sutllcient.to attract mauy to the base
ball grounds, and the game was too
one sided to furnish many thrills.
The Blue Hill visitors put it all over
the home team, score fifteeu to two
or thereabout.
Wheat Yield
Cause For Joy
Webster county takes the lead as
far as has been reported so far this
year, in regard to the amount of wheat
thrashed per acre. Three of our most
extensive farmers' have just completed
thrashing for this season aud report
the following yields: C. J. Piatt, ft)
bushels per acre; Jim Mcintosh, 24
bushels per acre; Win. Weesncr, 23
bushels per acre. This la Indeed a
remarkable showing, aud is iu itself
sufficient cause for one to wish to re-
Bide In Webster couutv, the nlace
where the soil has no equal in pro
ductiveness.

The sermon was delivered by Rev.

a reference to the preceding Fourth,
the celebration of the birth of the na;

surrender of VIcksburg, the destruc
tion of Cervera's fleet, and so found
occasion for a brief revieiv of our na

therpast: Reliance on h Divine Ruler,
Courage, Organization, Determination
or Whole Hearted Effort. Wo should
win America for Christ, for Christ's
sake, for the nation's sakr-, for the
sake of the world. He said a number
of pithy things tlurlug bis discourse
fitted to grip the memory of Ids hefcte

too late for thousands of lives already
lost, but it should come at once to

saved.
Columbus Borin
In Saturday's issue of the Kansas
City Times is an article, quoted from
the Woodson County Journal by Colum
bus Boriu. Columbus Borin was at
one time the editor of the Chief. The
Chief was then experiencing Its extreme
ill fortune. M. L. Thomas, who gave
it something like newness of life in
1877, finally sold out to Springer and
Boriu. Mr. Boriu was then quite a
young man aud a comparative strang
er in the country. He was the brother-in-law
of C. W. Spriuger, who
served as County Superintendent a
term or two. "bit. , Borin married
Agnes Kirk wood, daughter of the
county judge who succeeded Silas
Garber, and who bomesteaded the
Maurer farm. Mr. Borin had a broth
er, Frank, who, In early days, was a
nan of some prominence in Northern
Stillwater. The article in question is
a criticism of the 'words of Congress
man Scott, and, from the tone of the
article, we suspect that Mr. Borin is
now a progressive.

Dear Sir:
Aviator Longren lauded iu Lebanon

behalf of this man I feet that I should
write you aud tell you 'the efforts that
this man made to meet his date at Red
Cloud.
On the night of thethlid the wind
was blowing lu puffs when Longren
prepared to make the flight and al
though the machine was ready he did
not consider It alt safe to fly. On the
morning of the fourth he took the
air about 0 o'clock but was compelled
to return to the field because of bad
air currents and after a very "olose
call" for his life (the nearest to a fall
that he lias ever had.) Last night
at about 6:30, after a rain here, lie
again made the trial agalust the ad
vice of several of us who knew the
peculiar nature of the rain storms and
because there was at the time rain
clouds forming lu the north looking to
be between Lebanon and Red Cloud.
At about three miles north of Lebanon
he struck the air current from the
rain clouds and turned west to face it,
A blinding rain and wind caught him
and drove liim down to the ground.
He lighted lu a corn field. His ma'
chinUt had started for Red Cloud and
lost the (lying 'machine In tho storm

trouble aud to look for the machinist
in the car and tell them where to find
him. Lougren returned this morning
making a beautiful flight Into Lebanon
at a great height.
Lebanon experienced a sliniliar dis
appointment last year and we cau feel
for you lu your failure I feel, how
ever, that in as much as I have be

Does It Pay To Feed
The Milk Cows Hay Now?
(The following interesting little arti
cle by Professor II. C. Fllley of the
Agricultural Extension Department
ably answers the above question.)
May and June are by far the best
grass months in Nebraska. Pastures
which are closely cropped during these
months will not famish forage for as
much stock during the remainder of
the season. Many men become so ac
customed to seeing the yield of their
milk cows decrease during July and
August that they take It almost as a
matter of course. Dairy farmers who
have a supply of ensilage for summer
feediug are in a position to keep the
milk flow up to normal.
How about the farmer who has only
half a dozen oows? Just at present he
is in the majority and in need of the
greatest consideration, He could not
uso a sljo with profit unless he pur
chased more cows. As a general
thing his cows are kept iu a small lot
at ulght and too often use up most of
their energy during the day In fight
ing flies and bunting in a poor pasture
for some half dried wisps of grass, f If
they have access to alfalfa hay at
night, they will require less grasj, aud
the pay for the hay comes in the form
of checks for butter fat. It is hard to
bring op the production of even a
good cow after it has once decreased
by reason of short rations, The dairy'

This requires plenty of feed all the
year round. .
Just last week I visited a farmer
who is milking seven cows, aud is very
careful to keep them away from his
alfalfa hay. His idea is that they
should mow their own feed in the
summer time, that he caunot afford to
cut it for them. The fact of the mat
ter is that under east Nobraska oondi
tious alfalfa Is a cheaper feed than
blue grass, prairie grass, or auy other
kind of pasture.
Just figure it out for yourself. Sup
pose that we allow two acres of nastura
for each cow. Two acres of alfalfa
should produce six tons during the
season. Did you ever see the cow that
could eat 60 lbs. of hay a dav and
keep It up for six montbsr
Keep the oows ou grass, and keep
grass for them by allowing them to
have free access to alfalfa bay for a
part of each day. It will keep their
milk supply on a paying basis, and
help the fall pasture.
