Tan atate of New York voted at the late election the enormous bond iarae of $101,000,000 for the enlaigeBent of the Erie canal. It is aaaerted that the im nrovement means more to the western prodaeer than it does to the farmers of the state of New lork. Thb champion steer. Challenger, was slaughtered at Baffalo Tuesday and the carcass given to an orphan's home for a Christmas dinner. His head and hide will be mounted, exhibited at St Louis next year, and then brought to the Ne braska state farm at Lincoln to remain. A special train of nineteen can bear ing 3,000 boxes of turkeys, were sent from St Louis to New York for the Christmas market They were sold at 28 cents a pound making the whole eon Mgament worth about $100,000, and still the supply was not sufficient to the demand. The state board of public lands and buildings Tisited Norfolk last week for the purpose of looking over the grounds preparatory to the reconstruction of the asylum buildings which had been des troyed by fire. The plan is to build several cottages instead of one or two large buildings. The Kearney normal school building will be constructed in a few months. The delay in getting the construction work started has been due to a slight difference between citizens of Kearney and the board with regard to the repairs on the building donated by Kearney. This matter has been adjusted, Kearney agreeing to spend something over 15ftOQ for the repair work. Twektt-two persons are dead and twenty-nine injured, several of them fatally, as the result of the collision Saturday evening of two passenger trains on the Fere Marquette railroad half a mile east of Paris, Michigan. The collision, which was head-on, was caused, according to a statement issued by the officials of the road at the general offices in Detroit, by the high wind blowing out the red signal lamp at McCords, where the westbound train should have stopped and received orders to pass the east bound train. Prince Errm. Frederick, Emperor William's second and favorite son, who now is 20 years old, probably will visit the St Louis exposition. There is a strong feeling in military circles that the German military equipment might be improved by adopting some of the American inventions, so a military com mission of officers, selected by Emperor William, will visit the exposition and report on uniforms, field and commis sariat appliances. The report will be made direct to the emperor. Prince Eitei "Fritz," it is expected, will accom pany this commission. The people of Fremont cash in lively when they are called on, says the Trib une. They were only two or three days making ap $7,500 to bay a canal survey. Thee when they are called upon in the name of charity or the church they respond as if their money was a bother to them. They contributed $360 to the Ladies Charity club through a ball; the Tamer's fair took in $800; St Cather ine's guild "winter garden" realized $200 and the Elk's entertainment took $1400, a total sum of nearly $2,500, for these latter. The part of giving is pretty well learned by Fremont people. The friends of John L. Webster throughout the state have been invited to meet at the Millard hotel in Omaha today, Wednesday, to complete the organization of what is called the Ne braska vice presidential committee, to promote Mr. Webster's vice presidential boom. General offices of the committee have already been chosen. They are Peter Jansen of Jensen, president; Bos coe Pound of Lincoln, vioe president; N: P. Dodge, jr., of Omaha, secretary aad treasurer. In case a western mania chosen for second place on the national ticket, it seems to as that Mr. Webster has a good chance to win the prize. The Union Pacific railroad company have issued their annual agricultural aad live stock bulletin of the state of Nebraska for the year 1903 aad the figures shown are interesting to those watching the development of this won derful state. As usual, corn is king, standing at the head of the list with 197,406,606 bushels. Oats follows with a yield of 62,217,281 bushels, and winter wheat is third with 32316,627 bushels. Platte county is credited with the fol lowing record: Cora 653U bushels, on 122,453 acres; oats 1,694,550 bushels oa 67,782 acres; winter wheat 555G0 hnshris on 27,768 acres; spring wheat 104 bushels on 9,479 acres. Our county has 57,591 hogs, 51,161 cattle and 30,412 The new direct line being built by the Goulds to New Orleans will be complet ed some time next summer. This will give Omaha an almost straight line to the city on the gulf. The route will be via Fsasas (Sty to Carthage, Ma From Cuarthege to the Arkansas state line, a distaace of seventy-eight miles, the road is almost finished. A large amount of Bleating had to be done, bat it gives the Missoari Pacific a 1 per cent grade from Bmtakaty to Newport, Ark. Thelme from Newport toWyane m almost plated.

District 44 ana Vicinity. George Lnsebe has had erected on his farm a new windmill tower, of wood, the tallest in this immediate vicinity. Doctors from the city were passiog here Saturday and Sunday, presumably to prop up some juvenile victims of Santa Glaus. We never knew the time when the eora stalks in the field furnished more good feed than they do this winter and hay is plentiful. About ton daya ago two men, farmers, we will call them, pissed here with one of those old sheep ranch granaries in tow aad were traveling at a good brisk trot and we were interested in the man ner the building was loaded. It was placed upright upon two long skids or sills, the ends of which were ewung un der four wagons, two abreast as close together as' they would travel free: the third man had team and lumber wagon and was keeping up the rear. He had to lash his team in order to keep np with the outfit which was drawn by four large horses. The building went east past the county line aad mast have lit somewhere ia Colfax eouBty, On Christmas dsy at 10 o'clock p. m., when all were ia bed, the residence of Btcbard Adamy, 3 miles northeast of the okjr took fire and burned to the ground with all its contents, the family barely escaping with light wardrobe; there was not much wind and mercury was near sera.

Haydn and Moaart were great friends. It ben either had composed a masterpiece the other was invited to the bouse of the composer to enjoy the first sweetness. It chanced to be Haydn's turn, and Mozart cam full of expectation. Contrary to custom, Haydn Invited his guest to give bis Interpreta tion of the theme Instead of playing it over himself. Much pleased at the com pliment, Moaart played brilliantly, for the work waa beautiful and his musi cian's soul waa stirred. gnddenly be baited and looked across the piano at his friend. There's a mistake here he said. "A passage written for; three hands would be impossible for n soloist. Of course those notes must come out." "Ob," said Haydn quietly, "I can play if Moaart laughed. "My friend, yen have not three "Perhaps not," answered Haydn. "Nevertheless I. contend that I can play the passage. I would not have written it otherwise." "A challenge!" cried Moaart "Prove josw word." And' he yielded his place at tbs piano. His excitement rose as Haydn reach ed the disputed passage, when, to bis amazement the composer brought his bow to the keyboard, aad the notes rang out dear and true. ff MeUInc IHJ.

Some curious statistics have been published upon what an insurance ac tuary would describe as the "expecta tion of life" In animals. Among the larger species of cattle there is some approach to uniformity. Thus for the horse and the ass the extreme limit Is about thirty-five years and for honied cattle about thirty. For the dog It Is given as twenty-five, while sheep, goats, pigs and cats are grouped at fif teen. But there are stranger dispari ties among birds. While a goose may live thirty years, a sparrow twenty five and a crow aa many as 100, ducks, poultry and turkeys die of old age at twelve years.
