The conclusions reacb"bd by
some people make the rest of mankind -
kind speculate over the wonder.
ful construction of the human
brain. Maj. Woodruff , a surgeon
in the U. S. army. attributes
tuberculosis , insanity and suicide
to too much sunlight. He says
this "God's sunshine" business
is all tommyrot and will eventually -
ly depopulate the world Hi
theory is , that originally all men
were black. Some of the more
adventurous got out into the sunshine -
shine , were bleacbed white ,
begun to have cou hing spel1s ,
became insane and suicided. It
sounds real pleasant-when you
read it to yourself.
The increased sentiment for
prohibition has alarmed the farseeing -
seeing saloon men. ' 1'0 perpetuate -
petuate their business they are ,
1U many of the larger cities , coming -
ing to the support of the offictals
in the suppression of the dives ,
. , the dance hall annexes and the
\ ' wine rooms. They fignre that
.1 \ if the , saloon business is run in a
i clean , business-like manner ,
J there will be less criticism and
'
opposition. 'This element for
' . , alleged decent saloons in Chicago
.J I went. so far as to ask some of the
t str : JR'est ' . 'reformers" to address
j . thetr meeting.
f ' There is a discussion of the
II que tion as to the power of judges
t : ' to exclude people from court
1 rooms during the trial of any
, case as long as there is no over-
f cro ding and the spectators are
' - : ord rly. It is a frequent custom
li ; of judges to abrogate to them-
t ; selves this authority , but like
some other things , it is done
without right. Ev ry person is
entatled to trial in hopen court"
-without any star chamber pro-
ceedings.
If the fa' alities on railroads
continue to incre } se people will
have to be hired to ridc on the
trains. The death list for the
last quarter of 1906 was 474 and
the number of injured during
that period was over twenty
thousand. Talk about war ! If
anythIng is needed to increase
pub1i sentiment for government
: ! Iuper.vision , the roads themsel ves
I are' furnishing it in the carnivals
of slaughter.
T'be effects of the trouble on
Wall street in March have passed
awly and the financial atmosphere -
phere has been clartfied. Present
conditions show a marked im-
prQv ment and the "panic" is :
I nOWregarded as a good thing in. .
I checking the trend toward wild
I sp cdlation. Busi ess conditions
! are : . generally more satisfactory
i th n. for monihs , regardless of
the , backwardness of spring.
" The advocates of international
peace believe the movement is
j becoming a more practical affair.
They insist that the agitation
calling attention to the horrors
. of war and the great expenditures
. . . incident thereto have borne fruit
and that the people of the world
are now getting into a frame of
mind to prevent further inter-
na ional rows.
There seems to be some peop'e
who do noC know whether tt is
, . the leaders of labor unions or
Presitlent Roosevelt on trial nt
Boise , Idaho , for killing Gover-
or Stennenberg.

There is one good thing abe t
this 1906-1907 winter. It has
, been so entirely' different that it
has put the "oldest inhabitant"

. Damage -Gre : ' : g . ] ,
Forty grain men from Chicago ,
Milwaukee and Omaha vislted
the wheat fields in Southern Nebraska -
braska and Northern Kansas last
week , returning to Omaha Monday -
day of this week and their in- I
vcstigations do not inspire hope
for e\'en half .an average crop in
Kansas on account of the ravagCs
made by the green bug.
W. C. Sunderland , of the
Sunderland Grain company. a ,
member of the inspecting party ,
interviewed by an Omaha Bee
reporter , said :
"We stopped as often as possible -
sible for examination of the fields
in Southern Nebraska Saturday
afternoon and foun'l green bugs
in every field , but they had not
begun to damage the crop to at'ly
extent. We wenllhrough Sumner -
ner , Reno , Kiowa , Sedgwick ,
Pratt , Ford , McPh..rson , Republic -
public , Washington , CI.vde and
Uloupe counties of Kal sas Sunday -
day anf ! found that the damage
by drout'l and green bugs was ex-
tensi ve. 'l'he damage was par-
tic larly noticeaule in Sumner ,
Sedgwick and Reno counties , but
the Nebraska ( .raps are pritcti-
cally uninjured as yet , although
the result of th ( ' appearance of
the green bugs in tue Nebraska
fIelds is still problematical. H
the bugs attack the wheat in the
Nebraska fields as they did those
in Kansas , the outlook for the
crops in this state is very gloomy.
"The crop of oats in Kansas is
practically ruined and the corn' '
is in bad shape as that planted
has not yet made its ap'pearance
abe ve ground. " . . . '
Prospects for a good crop in
Nebraska appear to be gu d at
the present time. :1ccording to
the opinion of a majori ty oJ the
'grain men who went on the ex-
cursion. Green bugs were said
to be in every wheat field in
southern Nebraska , having come
from the Kansas fields , but had
inflicted no damage.
Proclamation by the Mayor.
Not only in accordance with
time honored custom , but
actuated by patriotic sentiment
and profound resp ct for our
national50ldiers , living and dead ,
the citi7.cns of Broken Bow will
observe Decoration' Day with
suitable s rvices and the decoration -
ation of soldiers' grav s in the
cemetery. That the day may
righly bE : observed and the grand
principles for which.it . was set
apart be taught to the gte : test
extent r ask that the places of
business and amusement in the
city be closed on that day between
the hours of 12 and 4 p. m. The
laws of our land prohibit any and
all games and sports on that day.
Let the inhabltants , old and
young , enter into the observance
of this day and its ceremonies to
the end that each and everyone
may become a more loyal and
better citizen.
The public , as well as the
civic , ! societies of tbe city , are
requested to meet at the south
side of the public square at 10
a. nt. , on Decoration day to join

escort of Company M. 1st Reg. ,
