0. L. Ramsey Dead.
O. L. Ramsey died Thursday
afternoon , April 22 , about 4:35 : , at
his home on Main street , as a re
sult of a stroke of paralysis.
Mr. Ramsey's health had been
"failing rapidly for the past year
and for some time past had been
scarcely able to be about. Thurs
day , however , he was apparently
no worse than usual , and during
the afternoon seated himself in
front of the restaurant which bore
his name for the purpose of , as he
expressed it to a friend , enjoying
a sun bath , the day being warm
and pleasant. He expressed him-
sslf as feeling well to friends as
they passed from time to time , but
suddenly was stricken and fell
back in his chair. Men who hap
pened in that vicinity carried him
inside , but the spark of life was
feeble and flickered and passed
out within a few minutes after he
was stricken. Thus ended the
fe of a man who had lived a use
ful life , who many times had ex
tended a helping hand to the un
fortunate and succor to the needy ;
a man universally respected in the
Community in which he resided.
The world is better for his having
been a part of it , a better epitah
needs no man.
I I Early in life Mr. Ramsey was
ordained as a minister of the gos
pel and became a member of the
Northwest conference in 1893 ,
His first charge was at Valentine ,
and later he was stationed at Craw
ford ; Lander , Wyo. , Rushville
and Ainsworth , in the order nam
ed. He was in charge of the
Methodist church here from 1900
to 1901 , and was then forced to re
tire on account of failing health ,
having suffered a stroke of paraly
sis. In 1904 he was elected coun
ty judge of Brown county , serving
two years.
During recent years Mr. Ram
sey was incapaciated for work ,
and last summer he was the vic
tim of a runaway and badly in
jured , and never fully recovered
from injuries received. Ains
worth Democrat.

We have just received a bulle
tin published for "The Nebraska
Boys' Agricultural Associations. "
This bulletin contains some ex
periments which we would be glad
to have as many boys as possible
try. Experiment No. 1. Ear to
the Row Test : This test is to aid
in determining the best seed ears.
Experiment No. 2. Soil Fertility
Test : This test is to determine
the best treatment to give land to
get the largest crop of corn. Ex-
P2rimefit No. 3. The Rate of
Plantin : The object of this test
is to determine how thickly corn
should be planted to give the larg
est yield. When the corn is har
vested the boys are to write an es
say , giving the results of their ex
perience. Fifty dollars in cash
is offered for the best ten essays
by boys who have actually carried
on one or more of these tests. The
class is limited to boys between
the ages of 12 and 21 years. Write

A fire occured this ( Fiiday ) inorn-
ng , during a high northwest wind ,
and burned down Charley Jordan's
dwelling in the west part of town.
The fire department was there soc n
after the fire was discovered , bufc
V '
lack of water pressure and long
distance from the hydrant and high
wind made it impossible to save the
building , though nearly all of tl e
contents were saved. The house
was insured for § 800 , which partial
ly covers the loss.
