Ax exchange remarks that there is really eome excuse for foot ball, Yale having cleared over $50,000 this year on the gama The Standard Sugar company of Leavitt had 15,000 sacks, or 1,500,000 pounds of sugar stored in the building at Omaha bnrned Thanksgiving morning. The loss was about $70,000 and was insured for 061,000. The largest potato ever grown in Montana was sent to President Roose velt for his Thanksgiving dinner. The tuber, which was grown under irrigation, was twelve inches long and five and one eighth inches wide and three and three quarter inches deep, weighing four pounds, six ounces. It is told by an ex-convict in the Ne braska penitentiary that two-thirds of the inmates of the institution are opium fiends. The drug, he says, is smuggled in by friends of the prisoners and through bribery of the guards. If the assertion is true, the proper authorities should investigate and put a stop to such work. A oobn husking match took place near Decatur, Nebraska, the other day in which Tom Blue, a 19-year-old boy of that town won the state's championship, he putting in 159 bushels in eleven and one-half hours. His opponent, a man named Carpenter, put 157 bushels in the crib. The prize was $5 and 3 cents a bushel for all corn husked. The possibilities of irrigation are illus trated in a report on Egypt just made by a government expert. It is shown that a tract of land no larger than the irrigable area of California sustains from agriculture alone 6,000,000 people, sup ports an expensive government and pays the interest on the national debt that is half as big as that of the United States. The report cabled from the United States to Paris that congress has actu ally voted money to transfer Commodore John Paul Jones body to the United States created vast interest in the neigh borhood where lie the remains of the American naval hero. The body lies under the iloor of Mme. Dunap's photo graph gallery, near the Canal Saint Martin. Senators Millard and Dietrich have agreed upon and recommended Crawford Kennedy, formerly connected with the republican state central committee of this state, for appointment to a position as messenger at the capitol building, Washington. No place has as yet been found for the Nebraskan, for the reason that the lists of the sergeant-at-arms are filled to the limit. Ecuador wants to sell the Galapagos islands to some European power. As they command the western entrance of the Panama canal in a sense we'll have to take them ourselves, says the Minne apolis Journal This being a world power is like getting rich. The richer you get the more you spend and the richer you have to get, so that the mil lionaire is humping as hard to pay his bills as the $C-a-week clerk. Every time Uncle Sam expands he has to expand some more. It is reported from Cheyenne that the order of the Union Pacific forbidding its employes to enter saloons has closed twenty-five of those places in that city. This is a sort of local option that appears to work satisfactorily. The men have the option of keeping out of the saloons or off the Union Pacific trains, and they are choosing to keep out of the saloons. At the same time it is altogether proba ble the grocers, butchers and dry goods and clothing merchants are having a bigger trade than ever before. Fremont Tribune. If there is any truth in the rumors floating around, Butler county will, in all probability have another criminal case that will attract the attention of the entire state. Some three or four days ago a local physician received a "hurry up" call to go to the country, a distance of four miles. Upon examination of the patient, strong symptoms of arsenical poisoning were apparent, and upon a close examination of the food of which the patient had eaten crystals of arsenic was found in abundance in the oatmeal. The patient is reported as convalescent, and will probably recover. After being out only about two hours the jury in the $10,000 libel suit of Miss Anna Sheibley against Charles S. Ash- ton, editor of the Northeast Nebraska Journal, published at Ponca, last Friday returned a verdict in favor of the de fendant. The verdict carries will it a vindication of Editor AshtoaV publica tion of the affidavit refuting the charges made against Congressman J. J. Mc Carthy, of the Third Nebraska district The jury retired about 5 o'clock, after being instructed by Judge Gaynor, and at 7:30 o'clock they had reached an agreement. The announcement is made from New York city that according to plans now under consideration the New York Cen tral Railway is to be equipped with an electric system, which will definitely establish the theory that steam' as a active power for railways has been aaperceded. Contracts for the work involving between fifteen and twenty aaillions of dollars are said to have been already awarded. It the project is hreagat to completion, which should be within five years, virtually the trains on the Haw York Central within a radius of fifty aules frost Forty-second street will ' he hauled by slsctiicity. NEBRASKA CORN AT WORLD'S FAIR. State Cmuumam Waste Km plat frtam Tfcia Cawriy. The Nebraska State Commission to the World's Fair at St Lows, wishiaf to exhibit the finest samples of Nebras- ka-grown corn at the Exposition in 1904, offers a splendid opportunity to the farmers of this county to enter into competition for valuable Exposition pre miums as well as to widely advertise .their cora-produoing lands. Any fanner who has grown fine, large samples of corn is asked to ship at least twenty-five ears of each variety by freight to the Secretary of the Commission, Mr. H. G. Shedd, 414 McCague Building, Omaha, Nebraska, notifying him of such ship ment and sending him the bill of lading. All such collections of corn, if accepta ble to the Commission, will be sent to St. Louis and entered in the individual growers' names for the premiums offered by the Exposition authorities without expense to the growers. In preparing ears of corn for such exhibition purpo ses, the following suggestions should be followed: The ear should stand on the stalk un til fully matured. The ears should be dried in a heated room, but the kitchen is not a good place on account of the steam. Great care should be taken not to shell even a single kernel from the ear. To ship, wrap each ear separately in cloth or paper, pack carefully in a box, stuffing paper in any remaining space to prevent the ears from shaking about in transit. Each box should contain the shipper's name and address. Ship by freight. The commission will pay freight on all fine samples sent to the Secretary of the Commission, 414 McCague Building, Omaha, Nebraska. Cob. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) arrived in Cheyenne Saturday afternoon to urge Governor Chatterton to recommend the segregation of 110,000 acres of state and government land on the Shoshone river, opposite Cody, Big Horn county, for reclamation by the Cody and Salisbury canal, under the Carey act. Governor Chatterton being in Denver, Col. Cody left for that place immediately. The Guernsey Canal company is after the same tract of land and both companies are bringing all possible influence to bear on the governor to have him rec ommend their claim. The latter com pany proposes to expend $500,000 in re claiming the land, while Col. Cody will guarantee the expenditure of $1,000,000 in bringing the land under cultivation. The soil is exceedingly rich and all that is needed to make it as fertile as any on the continent is water. Both companies propose to get water from the Shoshone river. As has been expected the Sioux City, Homer & Southern Railway company, which is building an electric line from Sioux City to Homer, Neb., will extent) the line from Homer to Omaha and the intention is to complete the line to Omaha in the winter and spring. United States Senator Millard, who is a stock holder in the company, has taken steps to secure right of way across the Winne bago' and Omaha reservations, and rep resentatives of the road will go to Wash ington in connection with the matter. The road is now being built from Sioux City to Homer. Several miles having already been constructed. The extension of the line to Omaha has just been announced. The survey to Omaha has already been completed. Mrs. George Hctt of Fremont died Wednesday night from the effect of barns received while kindling the kitchen fire with kerosene a few hours before. A ADDITIONAL : : LOCAL : : Joseph Bucher,who recently return ed home after a visit to Columbus, is a firm believer in the value of Nebraska farm land, although he is a resident of California. Mr. and Mrs. Bucher went west for the benefit of the tatter's health, and but for that reason would have remained in this county. Mr. Bucher while here remarked that he thought there was a great future ahead for the middle states, where the great bulk of the corn is raised. Corn has become a king in the markets. Not only as a food for beasts but for people, corn is today an important produce, and the state of Nebraska is one of the greatest corn pro ducers. The corn crop is almost a cer tain yield in this and surrounding states. Although there might be a light crop, we hardly know what a total failure of corn means. The corn stalk disease has reached the country south of the Platte. Joseph Chlopeck has lost twenty head of cattle and many other farmers in the same neighborhood have lost smaller numbers. The Kummer Bros., who several years ago had a large number of cattle die from this disease are not troubled with it this year, and they tell us that they believe the safest way to treat the cattle is to feed them plenty of corn, and two or three weeks before turning them into the stalks to keep salt from them. It is safe to have the stock run on the oats or stubble fields before turning them into the corn stalks. When effected with the corn stalk disease, the animal jerks and appears in great agony, and in about an hour after taken sick, dies. A strange thing relative to the disease is that the veterinary surgeons have not yet found just what the disesoe is or what causes it, so that as yet little is known how to avoid the trouble. Club.

The poultry and jwt stock show now open to the public in the Morrisasy building, just west of E. Ton Bergen's store, -will be an attraction wall worth your time and money., . ' The room will be open from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, this weak, and everything inchoates that the exhibition will be much larger than the one last year. L. G. Zinnecker, E. C. Worden and Will Kersenbrock have been the principal workers for the show. Among the towns outside of Columbus which will be represented byTaney birds are: Monroe, Stromsburg, Humphrey, David City, Madison, Fremont, Schuy ler, Norfolk. Shelby and Osceola, L. P. Harris of Clay Center will be the judge to decide the merits of the birds. Besides many kinds of fancy chickens there will be on exhibition pigeons, pea cocks, turkeys, ducks, gesso, rabbits and fish. District Crart. Joseph Flynn and Sherman Gilmore, who were bound over to the district court about a month ago, were dismissed, the verdict of the jury being, not guilty. The defendants were accused of break ing into the chioken house of John Full mar and stealing chickens and geese to the value of $24. Michael Mostek, accused of selling liquors without a license in Tarnov, pleaded guilty and a fine of $100 and costs was imposed upon him. The case of the state against Frank Schumacher was decided in favor of the defendant who was discharged. Schu macher was charged with breaking one of the laws of the ordinance of Hum phrey and the case was appealed from the lower court. MarshalMatt Meioeojgave bonds to the amount of $100 that he would appear at the next term of court for an alleged crime of breaking a law of Humphrey. Lawrence Acker, accused of criminally assaulting Mr. Men July 4th last, gave bonds to appear at the next term of court. A new case has been filed in district court by Michael Savage who asks judg ment for $280.45 and interest since Octo ber 20, '08, on a note, against John Miller. HI PERSONAL MENTION Rev.

Seth Braun, teacher in district 15, drove to Columbus last Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving, allowing his schol ars two days for vacation. The Independent TelephoneCo. hauled out a load of poles to Loseke creek last Friday. This seems that the people around there will have telephone con nection in the near future. B. F. D. Bo. 3. Continued from last week. A little trot and we are at Bargman Bros., who by frugality and close atten tion to their farming have now become the owners of three farms in Platte county and are now in Minnesota. Ev erything is kept in apple pie order about the different farms. They have shown their appreciation of rural mail service to the carrier on several different occa sions. We pass Henry and Herman Garms, who make use of the R F. D. H. D. Clausen, who is one of Shell creek township's postmasters, is Trar next box. Henry has taken special pains to have the roads which the mail .travels in his district kept in splendid order and is to be complimented on the same. On we go past Martin Hayes who has taken full charge of his father's farm, and we come in sight of Shell creek. We make a short stop at Mr. J. D. Lu- schen's postofflce and from there to J. F. Dineen's and Henry Behle's. The latter has as fine a bearing apple orchard of five acres as there is in the valley. The boughs were bending to the ground this season with the desirable fruit on a great many of the trees. Mr. Behle did not forget the writer on a number of occa sions in the apple time. A little distance on the road and we pass the Max Gottberg school house where Miss Birdie Dodda has had emi nent domain for a number of terms. She has been having a vacation during the past four weeks to give the older scholars an opportunity to assist in getting the corn husked. Soma of those farmer boys and girls of the age of 10 and 12 years can husk an ear of corn and have it inthe wagon quicker than a toad can bat its eye, and they enjoy the work too. Just before crossing the creek are Max Gottberg the veteran thresher. Otto Hembd, who purchased the Dineen farm on the south side of the creek and who has added many improvements to the aajpe, also Mr. John Saalfeld who pur chased the portion of the Dineen farm on the north side of the creek. There are a number of fine springs on' the Saalfeld farm. We now come to a hill that is equal to any of the Hampshire hills you read about, and on top of this is where our congenial friend Peter Coupons gets his weekly papers. The drive for the next three quarters M 1 1 1' till I i I M l"l "H Ml 1 1 1! ! Sale Below. of a mile is great We pass Mr. Henry Backenhns and Fritz Letters who both patronize Uncle Sam in the county. We now reach a place on the route where there is aa much business trans acted in the mail service on different occasions as in most of the postoffices in the smaller towns. At this place we generally take a short "blow," as the saying goes. We have here what is known as Shaffoart's corner. Here are Mrs. Krueger's, Herman Kuneman's and J. F. Sieme' places for receiving and sending mail. We have delivered in Mr. Siems' box at one time, one day's mail, 400 letters; have received circulars and letters upwards of 2,000 in one day. Have sold to Mr. 8iems in one month $350 worth of stamps. Mr. Siems is en deavoring to have the route changed so that it wUl run by his farm, and it seems to us that a man that does the business through the mails that he does, should be shown a little favoritism by the de partment. To be continued next week. Platta Center. From tke Signal. Wm. Bloedorn is confined to his homo with a lame back, having sprained that indispensable member while lifting. Mrs. Kehoe started for Gwelph, Can ada, Saturday, in response to a telegram apprising her of the serious illness of her father. B. W. Gentleman received a telegram this morning announcing the death at Omaha of his cousin, R. J. Gentleman; Deceased was about 40 years of age. He came from Canada to this country with the other members of the family and lived here for some time. Several years ago he went to Omaha, took up the avocation of locomotive engineer and has followed it since then, in the employ of the Union Pacific, until he was taken sick a short time ago. The Signal last week stated that Pat- sey Riley had bought the old oresmery building and would convert it into a paint shop. And about that sale there is a dispute. Last Monday Mrs. Kehoe bought the building of Paul Hagel of Columbus, paid for it and took possession of it moving some of her goods into it. On Saturday Riley bought it from John Moffett, who had it for sale by authority from the Nebraska Creamery Company, who owned it Saturday night Riley also took possession of the building by moving his bed in and aleeping there. These parties cant both own it but whether the rightful owner will be de termined without litigation remains to be seen. Mrs. John Kseler met with a very painful accident last Monday morning. She and their hired man started to come to Platte Center with a horse and buggy. As they came out of the gate, the man, who was driving, hit the horse with the whip. The horse started suddenly, over turning the buggy and throwing Mrs. Keeler, who is quite heavy, out and she struck in such a manner as to fracture her right arm near the wrist She was brought to town and Dr. Benthack reduced the fracture. Considering the close proximity of the fracture to the wrist joint and the patient's advanced years fears are entertained that she may not entirely recover the use of the injured member. Bttray Bttioa. About the first of November a red steer calf, about one year old, came to my, place three miles west of Columbus. The owner can procure the animal by proving; property and paying expenses. 2 Bakszx Twokkk. t j mm sum Has just received a new stock of Fine Wall Paper We invite the pub lic to look the line over before buying. t Rigm' SnhlMir Hsisfe. j Sold ia all shade, in nneqoaled by aajr paint or other Mains.

Mr. and Mrs. George Henggeler of Co lumbus spent Sunday with J. F. English and mother. There was an excursion run over the Northwestern to Pierre, South Dakota, last Saturday, on account of the opening of a part of the Brule Indian reservation to settlement Tuesday. This reserva tion consists of three townships or about five hundred quarter sections and it is land that is worth from $10 to $ia50 per acre at the present time with every indication of a raise in value. There were about two hundred Nebraskans in the excursion party, most of them being from nearby towns. The party luckily had their selections of land made before the recent snow storm, and most all were fortunate in securing good land. Pete Pederson, Charles Atkinson and The Democrat editor were the only Hum phrey men in the party and each se cured a nice claim. There is some vacant land in the tract but it is being taken rapidly. From the Republican. Born, on Thursday, November 27, to Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Ziegler, a son. Those having the matter in charge have arranged for the Farmers' institute at this place on January 28, 1904, and the session will only last for one day and evening; instead of two, as last year. Wm. Draper planted seven acres of corn on ground that had a crop of rye hailed off it the latter part of June. He finished husking it last week and reports an average of twenty bushels to the acre, and some of it would do to shell one-half at least This shows what thorough farming in Nebraska will do. Instead of the ground remaining idle after the crop had been destroyed, Mr. Draper realized about $4 per acre from it Bay Tour Caal Why does Sheridan coal have so many friends?
