    NAPPER AND REES MAKE FINAL
DELIVERY OF CATTLE.
FIVE THOUSAND HEAD ANIMALS
Last Delivery Wns Made at Rosebud
Agency on Wednesday of This Week.
One of the Heaviest Contracts Ever
Undertaken by Norfolk Men.
A contrnct for the delivery of 5,000
hcnd of cnttlo to the government nnd
Involving n inonoy consideration of
porno $115,000 , lina just been success
fully nnd sntlsfnctorlly filled by
Messrs. S. T. Nnppor nnd D. Hces of
tlils city. The delivery wns mndo nt
Uosebud agency , about thirty miles
north of Crookston , nnd wns complet
ed on Wednesday. Mr. Heea returned
to the city yesterday noon and Mr.
Nnpper stopped at Alnsworth on lila
wny homo to attend to other business.
This wns one of the biggest con
tracts over handled by Norfolk men.
The contrnct was secured from the
government In April by Mr. Napper
nnd n month Inter Mr. Hees becnme
associated with him In filling It.
The contract called for delivery of
native born Nebraska cattle or Texas
cattle , nnd when the contractors
bought they found It Impractical to
secure them In this stnto nnd ns
a result they all came from Texas.
Both gentlemen made frequent trips
to the lone star state and selected the
animals from among the big herds on
the brond ranges of thnt common
wealth. After the cattle were bnr-
galned for , Mr. Napper remained In
Texas to attend to the shipping whllo
Mr. Hees returned to Crookston , this
state , to receive nnd deliver them to
the government Inspectors nt Hose-
bud. Mr. Napper , nfter the final car
hnd been loaded , went to Crookston
nnd was present at the last delivery
this week. ,
The shipment comprised seven train
loads , and remarkable as It may seem
only one animal was lost during tran
sit. From Crookston It was necessary
to drive thirty miles north to make
delivery. During this drive ton ani
mals died. This was caused by heat
affecting the animals , which had been
dipped In oil. When It was found that
they had not fullly recovered from the
oil dip , as required by the govern
ment , the herds were given more time
to recuperate before the drive was
undertaken. At another time during
the drive , a lightning bolt dashed Into
the herd during a storm , and four
were killed. Aside from this , and n
few which strayed during the over
land trip , the loss was comparatively
nothing , which is a remarkable showIng -
Ing when the number of head of cattle
handled Is considered.
At the conclusion of the delivery
the other day , the government Inspect
ors complimented Messrs. Napper and
Rees upon the high grade of cattle
they had furnished and for the very
satisfactory manner In which they had
handled the contract. They are now
entirely through with the deal , the
vouchers are approved and signed and
on their wny to Washington , and the
contractors now only have to wait the
pleasure of government officials at
the capital to receive their money.

A MANSION AND ITS SURROUND
INGS OVERLOOKING BLAIR.
OFFERED VETERAN PREACHERS
Mr. nnd Mrs. Crowell Tender This
Handsome Property to the Meth
odists of Nebraska for Use of Thfcse
Who Need Care In Their Old Age.
Just at the cdgo of the classical
It tie city of Blair , Neb. , on a com-
nandlng elevation overlooking the
o\\n and a vast portion of scenic conn-
ry along the valley of the Big Mud-
ly , is situated what Is known as the
Crowell home. The mansion sits on
a most lovely site and nestles among
the trees and shrubbery of over eleven
\cres. Tills elegant and costly home
was built twenty-two years ago , It Is
said , at a cost of $50,000. It has since
that time often been remodeled , 1m-
iroved and beautified. The grounds
ire just sufficiently elevated and grad
ed to give them a charming appear-
inco ; and they arc very tastefully laid
out Into lawns , gravel drives , cement
walks , and enclosed with appropriate
ron and boxwood fences. The grass
s kept closely cut , and presents a
ich , soft , green velvet effecv. The
grounds contain many kinds of trees ,
shrubbery and ( lowers. Beside multi
farious and valuable fruit trees there
ire the pine , fir , birch , chestnut , male -
) lo , backberry , linden of the most
ipnutlful form and color and size.
The house is a frame , three stories
and a half high , and contains seven
teen rooms. The basement is a very
elaborate affair , with a laundry and
; he most ample and modern and costly
leating and lighting apparatuses. All
the rooms on the first two floors are
> oth boated and lighted In the most
nodern and charming manner. Mar-
) letop wash stands are everywhere
where needed throughout the whole
wilding. The several bath rooms are
fitted up in the most modern , costly
inil ornate style , oven the bath tubs
> elng beautifully decorated. The
louse Is finished with the most ele
gant and costly lumber and materials.
: think every room of the first two
stories has' Inlaid floors of oak of
various colors. They are simply su-
lerb , while all the walls are pressed
ind the ceilings are decorated in the
most elaborate and expensive manner.
Most of the heavy furniture , and the
most costly as well , will remain In
: he home. The house has some of
the finest bed room sets It hns been
my pleasure to see. One I noticed
was of the finest ebony , Inlaid with
pearl , while there arc some of the
richest mirrors my eyes ever beheld ,
some costing as much as $600 each ,
and are gems of richness and beauty.
As to much of the house and Its fur
niture I would not attempt an ade
quate description , my tongue having
no word and my pen no skill that
would begin to do justice to the same.
They must bo seen to bo understood
and appreciated. There Is one hand
some barn , fine enough for a mansion
to live In , also a new and beautiful
carriage house.
There Is also a modern hot house ,
a secure and handsome storm vault
i" nvp , with many other utilities nnd
attractions.
But what of all this ? Much every
vay. It has just been offered as a
free gift to the worn out preachers
of the Methodism of the state of Ne
braska as their permanent home , and
wo are now arranging to have our
several annual conferences of the
state to accept It. The donors are Mr
and Mrs. Crowell , formerly of Blair ,
Neb , hut now of California Mrs
Crowoll is n Methodist. They are now
'n ' California enjoying their financial
fortune.
This may look to bo rather a rich
'ionic for the blood of our old super
annuated ministers , but each thinks ,
like some of us , that nothing Is too
good for these old veterans of Meth
odism. D. K. TIndall.

"The Mlssourlans have been shown"
that they are actually catching fish at
: ho Davenport cnmp. Frank brought
a three-pound cnt to the office this
morning , which Is nn ocular demon
stration ( tint fish have been caught.
Ho said he thought n three-pounder
would be enough for a family , but that
lie might just as well have brought a
rorty-pounder. The News IB forced to
admit that there Is now no further
reason to doubt the three-pound kind ,
jut as to the fifteen and forty pound
variety told about there Is Btlll much
skepticism.
The new Shoshonl train which has
now been running a week , has thus
far had a much lighter travel than was
nntlclpnted , although the last few days
the number going has been Increasing
each day. It Is believed that the slack
travel at the outset Is caused by the
length of the trip , and that those who
Intend to go and file for land are waitIng -
Ing until toward the end of the time
for filing and that they will remain
until after the drawing , to save mak
ing the journey again In case they se
cure farms. Following the usual cus
tom at frontier towns , the Ramblers
came early to Shoshonl nnd they hnvc
been running things with a high hand
for several weeks. They started out
doing business very quietly but be
came much bolder as time progressed ,
nnd now comes the order from Mayor
Quintal that they must shut up shop
at once and get out. Thin order from
the mayor comes at a good time , for
It will save the citizens of that place
much of the trouble that ensued at
Bonesteel from tills character of law
lessness. It Is proposed by the mu
nlclpnl authorities of Shoshonl to
make It perfectly safe for strangers to
come to that town for registration.
Parker's White City , which closes

South Dakota
The Land of Plenty
Rich soil , a mild climate , and abundance of
water bavn made South Dakota one of tbo
best agricultural states in the Union.
The soil of Lyman County is unusually rich.
It is a black loam with a yellow clay subsoil.
The extension through Lyinan County
recently built by the
Chicago , Milwaukee ® , Si. Paoil
Railway
has opened up a part of that state hitherto
sparsely settled. Land is now selling at the
rate of from $8 to $15 an acre , and it is
altogether probable that valuations will
increase 100 to 200 per cent within a year.
South Dakota offers great opportunities for
the small investor.
