SILVER MEDAL FOR CORN.
Frank Tannehlll Has Received Silver
Medal for His Crop.
Frank Tannehlll has received , his
silver medal from the Portland expo
sition management for the second
prize on Nebraska White Dent corn.
The first prize went to Fullorton. Mr ,
Tannohlll Is proud of the. medal , and
It Is an honor to Norfolk.
As a result of the advertisement that
Mr. Tannehill has received through
this medal , ho has had calls and sold
corn In many states of the union to
bo lined an seed thin summer. Ho had
sixty bushelH of seed corn and it was
all sold long before planting time came
along.
Mr. Tnnnehlll has for sixteen years
been working to perfect this grade of
corn , necking constantly to Increase
the amount of corn on each cob. Prof.
Lyon , the corn specialist at the state
university , Kays that It will take three
or four more years to make It perfect ,
hut ho IB highly pleased with It.
"Some of my neighbors make fun
of mo for spending BO much tlmo nt
cutlvatlug tills corn , " said Mr. Tan-
nohlll , "hut they nil like a little of the
seed. Most acres In tlilfl country yield
nbout twenty-seven acres of corn to the
aero , and If wo can Increase It to tillr-
ty-fivo wo will Increase the value of
the land $10 per ncrc.
"In this corn ns It now stands , 100
pounds of car corn Is equal to eighty-
llvo pounds of shelled corn. Eighty
oars made fifty-six bushels and we
have sold It all nlong nt ninety enrs ns
a bushel. "
Mr. Tannohlll la now breeding the
stalk In order to get Iho size and shape
exactly right , lie says that ho doesn't
care how big the cob Is In the south
ern part of the state a snmll cob Is
nccdod , but In the northern part of
Iho stale a big cob Is essential to big
cars of corn. Ho says that he wants
the kernels about five-eighths or three-
quarters of an Inch deep and of the
sumo depth up nnd down the cob.
Fanners bring In your repair work
for spring. I will save you 20 % as
I have the tlmo and am prepared to do
the work. Paul Nordwlg.
Biliousness and Constipation.
"For years I was ? troubled with bil
iousness nnd constipation , which mndo
life miserable for mo. My appetite
failed me. I lost my usual force nnd
vitality. Pepsin preparations and ca
thartics only made mntters worse. I
do not know where I should linvo been

Stomach and Liver tablets. The ef
fects were simply marvelous. The
tablets relieve the 111 feeling at once ,

the Butte postofllco , the complaint
having boon filed by his employer ,
Mrs. A. R. Armstrong , was acquitted
in his preliminary hearing of the
charge against him and has been dis
missed.

sort for the defendant to make his
fight In the preliminary hearing , but
Mr. Granger adopted this means of
clearing himself and went on the stand
in the court , denying any connection
with the aafflr.

BRIDGE CONTRACTORS ARRESTED
Charged With Fishing Without Pro
curing a License.
Center , Nob. , May 19. John W.

Ing for the county board to convene

started to run through the thick under
brush which lines the banks. Towlo ,
Flagler and Cole were brought back

ho came In under cover of the dark
ness.
ness.The
The county board Is In session here
now to let the yearly bridge contracts
for this county and there are about
fifteen representatives of different
bridge companies In attendance. It
is thought by some that the arrest of
Towle and Ross Is a scheme of some
of the other bridge men to have them
Incarcerated until after the contracts
are let , as the Towle Bridge company
has always been successful In secur
ing these contracts In the past

VISION OF DYING GIRL TRUE.
Miss Kendall Saw Her Father Fall
From Cliff and Pictured Sufferings.
Keystone , S. D. , May 21. Although
unaware of the fact that her father
was In the city , nnd lying herself at
the point of death , Lulu Kendall , the
17-year-old daughter of S. R. Kendall
of this city , saw as In a vision , the
accident which occured to her father.
Miss Kendall was In attendance at
the Sisters' school at Sturgls when
she was taken seriously ill with
rheumatism of the heart , and her fa
ther went to that city at once to bo
near her. The school is on tne bluffs
above the town , nnd while climbing
up the hill , Mr. Kendall , being unfa- y'
mlllar with the place , missed his footIng - |
Ing and slipped , falling thirty loot to '
the gorge below.
That night his daughter , nil unaware
of where he was , begged the doctors
to send nld to him. She described
vividly to Dr. J. D. Neftzgor , the at
tending physician , the accident which
had befallen her father and told how
he lay at tlo : loot of tno neighboring
cliffs.
"Please , doctor , " she begged , "send
someone to help him. I can hear him
calling for aid. Do not leave him
there to suffer nlono. "
The attendants thought her pleas
the result of a hallucination nnd no
attempt was made to find Mr. Kendall ' ' .
and It was not until the next after- N.
noon tlmt heas discovered paralyzed \
at the foot of the bluffs , having lain
there all night in the cold , mo girl
died that evening. Kendall Is now In
the hospital at Sturgls , nnd there is
hope for his ultimate recovery.
Shower.
A shower broke over Norfolk short
ly after noon Monday , cooling off the
air nnd slightly settling the dust. It
was of short duration , though severe
