The Cattle Situation
The scare which cattle breeders have
just passed through on account of the
foot and mouth disease resulted in a
general unloading in utTeotoi districts,
causing lower prlce3 than wa9 warraut
oil from present supply. The after
effects will bo felt In a higher price
for all kinds.of cattle aud it is not at
all unlikely that to ceut steers will be
seen on the market within a very short
period of time.
For Earliest Tomatoes
In order to secure the earliest ripen
ing tomatoes, such plants should be
pruned to one stem and tied to a firm
btako four or five feet high. The
tomato plant may be tied to the stake
by strips of cloth so that the branches
will not be injured. All side shoots
should be pinched back, The Depart
ment of Horticulture at the Univers
ity Farm says that this method will
assist not only in the early ripening of
the fruit but in improving the quality.
Hall's Automobile
Is Badly Damaged
Monday evening Marl Hull, with his
live passenger Studetmkor car, taken a
traveling man to Guide Rock. On his
way home, at the east end of the tem
porary bridge across Dry creek, the
car became fast in tho mud, and his
efforts to run it out proved futile.
Karl sought assistance from a near
by farm house, the farmer telling him
that ns soon as he had iluibhed milk
ing, he would tako Ills team down and
pull the car out. In tho meantime tho
clouds a few miles to tho north became
heavier and lower, and the rain came
down in torrents, changing Dry creek
from a small stream to a raging rivor
Earl, together with the farmer and Ids
team, reach the place where his car
had become fast, just as tho first
breast of flood water taken it into its
grasp. Tho car was carried some half
a mile down stream, whero it lodged
against tiie briugo which was swept
away by the Hood of two weeks ago
Tuesday morning it was brought in to
tho Hall garago. The body of the car
is a total wreck, but examination dis
closed the fnct that the cngiuo was
intact, and tho loss, while a heavy ono,
has not lowered the spirits of those of
the IlalWgarago, and theyhuvo already
began the task of repairing it.

loss of her presence but" rejoice in the
memories of her Christian life.
She is also survived by two brothers,
Dr. J. 1). and Mr. J. It. Jackson of Mar
shall, Missouri, and two sisters, Mrs,
Alice (. Kudgcrs and Mrs. Until K.
Mori is, of Pittsburg, Petin-ylvanla.
Her maiden n.iino was Mary Jane
Jackson.
Wellsburg, West Virginia was her

Probasco, of Geneva, New York, who
died in Lincoln in l!Kil, and is burled
in beautiful Wyuka, where her bodv
is now laid by his side to await their
resurrection change.
The tluvc fourths of a century dur
ing which she lived is naturally divid
ed into three nearly eiual"narts The
Hist period was spoilt in town on the
shorn of the Ohio river, where she
grew to womanhood, earing for the
youuger children, getting her educa
tion' and teaching school. The second
period began with her nuuriago and
w.is j.ussed in the country in New York
mid Nebraska. The last period was in
the cities of Linolu and Ked Cloud, in
the former until her husband died and
then alternately between the two at
the homes of her daughter mid sou
until April, 191 1, when she was strick
en with paralysis nt Red Cloud nud
was there until tier tteath
She was always a willing worker and
the Muster's wordH, "She hath done
whal she could," are the highest praLso
that could be spoken. Tlioehildiou In
her fathers' home whom she helped
have never forgotten and to this day
speak and write their gratitude.
Hut it was on tier own children that
she poured out the wealth of her moth
er love without reserve. Over inel
over again she lias been heard to any
that she was "sure no mother ever en
joyed blinging up her little children
more than she did." Her children can
testify that this was truth. No sacrl
lice was too great for those whom
Heaven had given hor and to tlicm she
gave "the last full nieasuro of devot
ion" to tho end. ,
A wave of sorrow swept over her
largo circle oi friends at the news of
her death.
Funeral services were held' ut tho
residence of Clifford J. Pope, June lit at
12:110. J. L. Deebo conducted tho ser
vice assisted by U. L. Myers. The de
ceased was taken to Lincoln for burial
where a further service was held. The
o litor joins with tho many friends of
the deceased in extending sympathy to
tho bereaved.
