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

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

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

involving between fifteen and twenty
aaillions of dollars are said to have been
already awarded. It the project is

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Instead of the ground remaining idle
after the crop had been destroyed, Mr.
Draper realized about $4 per acre from
