The Monument ,
Shortly after the death of .1. Ster
ling Morton In the spring of 1002 , the
Arbor Day Memorial association was
organized at Nebraska City , Nob. , the
solo object of tills association's exist
ence being to provide a suitable mon
ument In honor of Mr. Morton , the fa
ther of Arbor day. During the early
part of the past winter several eastern
sculptors were asked to compete for
the contract of erecting the monuniont
and to submit models of their designs.
Several artists entered tlio competi
tion , and all of their models wore sent
to the Art institute of Chicago , whore
tbo executive committee of the asso
ciation made their award In Febnnry.
The contract was awarded to Ru
dolph Evans , of New York , because
his model was considered the most
finished and comprehensive in the
competition A description of his design -
sign follows :
The object sought In the design Is
to combine simplicity with dignity and
ImprossIvenesR , thus typifying the sim
ple manliness and nobility which char
acterised the father of Arbor day. The
central figure of the design Is , of
course , the statue of Mr. Morton him
self , which stands upon a massive , yet
graceful pedestal , in an attitude char
acteristic of his strong , frank life. His
right arm hangs easily by his side , and
In his loft hand he lightly holds a
paper , ' as though of recent reference ;
a branch of a tree rests easily at his
foot , while a plowshare , slightly In the
roar , suggests the rugged pioneer days
of his early life. At the foot of the
pedestal stands a graceful wood sprite ,
her left hand tenderly protecting a
young , growing tree , thus sympoboliz-
ing the spirit of the wise , public-spirit
ed Uloal expressed by Mr. Morton's
simple formula , "Plant Trees. " A
semi-circular stone bench stands at
some distance back of the pedestal and
forming a frieze around It are the
\ words , "Pioneer , Statesman , Scholar ,
Tree-planter. " The hack of the bench
Is further ornamented with two large
medallions In bronze , plainly visible
to the right and left of the statue as
one stands before It. These Illustrate ,
the one an Important epoch In Mr.
Morton's career , nnd the other his
heart's desire ; namely , the treaty with
the Pawnee Indians in which he prom
inently participated , and a group of
school-children planting trees. The
lower part of this bench bears the in
scription , "Erected by the Arbor Day
Memorial Association In Memory of
J. Sterling Morton , 1903. "
Upon the pedestal itself the follow
ing Is inscribed : "J. Sterling Morton ,
Father of Arbor Day , Plant Trees. "
The reverse of the pedestal bears a
concise sketch of Mr. Morton's life
and public services.
The spaciousness and solidity of the
base and foundation of the monument
are Intended to harmonize with the
vastness and substantiality of the
western country.

THE OLD MAN FROM SNOWLAND
KNOCKS AT THE DOOR.
CAN NOT BE DRIVEN FAR AWAY
Traced to This Section of the Country
by the Detectives of Uncle Sam's
Weather Bureau , the Old Boy Wns
Announced in Advance ,
Old Man Winter Is knocking at the
door of Northern Nebraska. Traced
to this section of the world by the do
tectlves of the weather bureau , the old
fellow was headed off on his trip by
a forewarning from the government.
The message read , "Look out for
snow. "
And then n little later this section
of the country woke up and heard a
noise outside at the door. It was a
strange step that came up the walk
and a strange knocking at the door.
Then Old Man Winter pushed open
the door a little way and threw In a
few handfiils of cold , white powder
The Sun , tied to his bed with thick
strings of clouds , finally broke them
away , opened the door and drove thr >
unwelcome visitor off the place. But
the detectives In Uncle Sam's weather
bureau say he will be back from past
experience the weather man declares
that the light snow of today Is but
the beginning , though surely a begin
ning , of the frigid season.
DRANK TWO BUCKETS OF BEER
AND BECAME DRUNK.
TORE UP THE SALOON CHAIRS
Then the Animal Stretched Himself
Out Before the Bar and Remained
Until Daylight Despite Efforts to
Remove the Brute.
Chicago , Oct. 2G. The novel spec
tacle of a drunken horse In a saloon
owned by Frank Weldemnn , In Vln-
cenncs road , while furnishing amuse
ment to the frequenters of the place ,
so incensed the neighbors , it is said ,
that , , with other aggravating condl
tions , the matter was brought to the
attention of the authorities and the
case received a hearing In Justice
Grant's court yesterday afternoon ,
when a fine of $50 was Imposed.
It was assorted by witnesses that re
cently several of the hangers-on
around the saloon led a horse into the
saloon and stood it before the bar.
Ono of the crowd , It Is alleged , filled
a bucket with beer and to the surprise
of all present , the horse partook of
the beverage. A second bucket , it Is
said , was offered the animal , which
drank It with avidity.
Shortly afterward the horse mani
fested symptoms of intoxication , and
several inmates of the saloon sought
| to lead it out. This aroused the Ire of
the animal , which proceeded to use Its
heels , and teeth.
After breaking up chairs and converting -
' verting the place Into a pile of debris ,
the animal , overcome by the drink and
Its exertions , placidly stretched itself
on its side In front of the bar and went
to sleep , where it remained until day
light despite every effort made to re
move It '

HE HAD BEEN WORKING ON FARM
OF JOHN RAY.
HE IS FROM BALTIMORE POST
C. R. Carter , Which is Not His Real
Name , Gave Himself up to the Po
lice Here Yesterday Will be Tnkcn
to Fort Crook.
A deserter from Iho Unilod States
army who gnvo his name as C. II. Carter -
tor hcciiiifu that wan not his name ,
was arrested In Norfolk yesterday nl-
tornoou and locked up In a cell at Iho
c-itv jdil to nwall orders Irom the army
olllclals Ho will bo taken to Fort
Crook , Neb. , and turned over to the
authorities there , In accordance * with
a telegram which came last night The
deserter belongs to Iho lOfith coast
artillery regiment and escaped Irom
the post located at Baltimore , Md.
Worked for John Rny.
For more than a week the deserting
soldier has been working on the farm
of John Hay west of tlio city and yesterday
torday afternoon ho decided to give
himself up , return lo the army long
enough for a "bobtail" a hohlall , In
army lore , Is a dishonorable discharge
and then bo a free , though disgraced ,
being for the rest of his natural life ,
and maybe longer.
The farmhand made his confession
to John Kay and icqucstcd that a mes
sage bo sent to the army. Mr. Hay
accordingly wired the nearest post ,
Fort Crook , and received In reply a
telegram which said , "Deliver tlio pris
oner at this post. " The deserter will
therefore bo delivered and Mr. Hay
will iccolve the usual , loward of $50
for his service.
Doesn't Like the Army.
"None of your army life tor mo , "
said tlio sergeant for he claims to
have worn sergeant's stripes at Balti
more "nobody could stay with Hand
retain his American spirit of manhood.
You're a dog In the army. They lined
mo too much that's another reason
why I don't like the life. When they
took my wages for lines I told them
that I'd never serve another day If
tlio doors were left open. So I left.
They didn't search for mo they don't
care for a deserter. That Is shown by j
the telegram from Fort Crook , which
merely Instructed the man hero to de
liver me. They don't care whether
they got me or not.
"My name ? Oh , well , that doesn't
matter. C. R. Carter will do , and I
don't want my mother to find It out.
I gave myself up because I'll get an
easier sentence and a discharge. Oth
erwise , If they had caught mo , I would
have had a hard sentence In the guard
house and reduction to the ranks.
What I want Is to get out of the ranks
altogether. I was in the army five
months. "

The case grown nut of Iho recent de

which Chicago 11 vo slock donlj'rH
ebiliucd noted an a discrimination
against Iholr oily. Thin decision wait

At Iho tl'Tio of Iho order the nlock

nnd oilier wo"slorti dllon Intervened
and demanded of the Interstate com
merce commission that If relief wan
granted Chlonno on Ihose rales. Iho
same relief should be given the west
ern pnoklng ell Ion.
The Intervening civ'-i-inles Interpret
the cnmmlss'nn'H ' "dor ns covering
tlielr contentions , as well ns Hint of
f'hlcapo , but do 11 vo Block men of
f'blrnpn elnlm Hint the order only cov
ered rales lo Chloni-n and have ashed
the Hulled RlnloH circuit court to en
force the order as nppllcablo to rat OH
to that city without icgard to rales lo
other points. If the court grants the
ornver of the Chicago men , Iho effect
will bo that Chicago will pooiiro a mo
nopoly of the trade fiom the Missouri
river.
In fighting the case the slock yards
people of Omnlin anil St. Joe have
again Intervened In the court cane , as
Ihov did In the commerce case , anil
have afilted the couit to grant the
n'no relief to them as Is asked bv the
Chleat'o men They contend that a
disturbance of rates as proponed , un
ions : the s-iiiio order is trrnntod the
western points , will turn all the cattle
< md hog shipments to Chicago and
nhicpR the other vards from St. Paul
to St Louis at such disadvantage that
thov oMiinot compote for business.
The rate complained of affects what
is known ns the " 2SV. " cent /one , and
the stntistlcs submitted to the court
who'v that at present Chicago Is get
ting from fin to 70 per cent of all live
stock from that 70110 , owing to favor
able shipping conditions offered by the
railroads. How this rate will effect
Omaln and the other Missouri river
packing points Is shown by the testi
mony of President Stlcknoy of Great
Western and II. R. McCulloiigh of
Northweslein , who testified before the
commission that the first road , In
1901 , brought from tlio 70110 In ques
tion 3,010 cars of stock to Omahn alone ,
while Northwestern brought 3,500 cars
from the same territory. This Is only
a portion of the tratllc which threat
ened and which. If sent to Chicago ,
will canso the closing of every packIng -
Ing plant on the Missouri river.
In the arguments of the Interveners
In the case , it Is plainly shown that
neither the shipper , the railroad , the
producer nor the packer will In any
way bo benefited by tbo proposed
change In rates , but that the whole
benefit will flow to the 700 live stock
commission men on the Chicago ex
change. If the westbound rate Is
changed at the same time the eastbound -
bound rate Is , however , conditions will
remain as at present. This Is what
the intcrvcncrs ask of the court.
As against the Interests of these 700
commission men , with nothing but of
fice furniture Invested In tholr busi
ness , the western points are able to
show that In Omaha , Kansas City , St.
Joseph , St. Paul and Sioux City , alone ,
more than $110.000,000 nro Invested In
buildings nnd lands ; fiO.OOO workmen
are employed ; $28,000,000 In salaries
paid ; 1115,000,000 worth of material
used annually ; and $477,500,000 pro
ducts manufactured each year.
The western' stock yard nnd packing
house owners hope to secure a deci
sion which will preserve the present
ration In the railroad rates and they
see only destruction of their business
In any other settlement reached.
