Col. Henbt Wattkrsoh, editor of the
Louiarille Courier-Journal, hat been
scared to deliver the conimencement
oration for the aanior class of the Ne
braska aniveraity next Jane.
A tklbobam signed by President E. H.
Harriaian of the Union Pacific was sent
to all points along the line Friday con
veying notice of the appointment of W.
H. Baacroft as general manager of the
system, with headqnartera at Omaha.
. On May 30. 185prestdent Franklin
Pierce aCxed his signature to the Kansas-Nebraska
bill, and on that date Ne
braska became an organic territory.
This event is to be celebrated with pomp
and ceremony at Omaha May 30 to Jane

Taa thirty-second annual meeting of
the Nebraska Press Association will be
held in Lincoln, on Tuesday and Wed
nesday, January 2Gth and 27th. From
present indications this will be the larg
est attended meeting in the history of
the association.
The child evangelist, Lownie Law
rence Dennis, is preaching in Omaha.
The lad is but ten years old, and has
been preaching since he was three years
of age. It is said he has talked to over
1MOjOOO people in forty-two states and
Canada, and is credited with 10,000 eon-
Gaftaik Brad D. Slaughtkk, pay
master U. S. A accompanied by his wife
sad daughter, Mrs. Grace Gamble, sailed
for home last Friday on the transport
Logan. .Captain Slaughter, who has
basa stationed at Manila during the two
years he has been in the Philippines, is
in excellent health. He is under orders
to report at San Francisco, and does not
know where he will be assigned.
.Oil Inspector Chtjbch's monthly re
port for December shows receipts $1,
673.70, expenditures $958.02, paid to
treasurer, $715.68. Present indications
are that Mr. Church's annual report will
be a record breaker. Usually the de
partment returns an annual profit of
slightly less than $6,000, but in the eight
months of Mr. Church's reign something
over $5,000 has been turned in, leaving
less than $1,000 to beecarad in the re
maining four months in order to break
all previous records.
At the inquest held in Omaha last
Wednesday into the death of Thomas
Gentleman, the jury promptly returned
. a verdict that the deceased came to his
death from a gun shot wound, the gun
being in the hands of Clarence Jackson,
alias Henry Foster, which name the
prisoner gave when arrested. The jury
recommended that the prisoner be held
to the district court. Information charg
ing Jackson with murder in the first
degree will be filed, and it is expected
that he will have a preliminary hearii
in a few days, when he shall have been
brought back from Lincoln, whence he
i seat for safe keeping.
Tax following resolution
aaanimously by the executive committee
of the Nebraska vice presidential com

7,1904: "Resolved, That we favor and
recommend to the republicans of the
state an early state convention for the

that we favor and recommend the selec
tion m delegates to the National Oonven
ttoa of such persons only as are known
to be earnestly and aggressively favora
ble to the candidacy both of President
Roosevelt and of Mr. Webster."
Two crooks went to the Sacred Heart
it in Omaha Thursday afternoon
sad told the sisters that they were from
the city fire house situated across the
street. They added that the water was
to be shut off for a while and that they
had to inspect the water pipes. One

work. Oae of them, Defender, was aa

The Lincoln Importing Horse Com
pany has again donated the ase of two
ear loads of choke Shire, Percheron and
coach horses reosntly imported. Classes
ia judging swine and sheep and evening
lectures oa feeding and animal diseases
will be a part of tbe program. Experts
for the different classes of stock will
have charge of the instruction.
Classes in judging corn will be held
daily under the direction of a competent
corps of iastractora including prominent
corn growers and farmers from Nebraska
and other states.
The small fee of one dollar for each
person enrolled does not begin to cover
the expenses for holding this parliament
and farmers can hardly afford to let such
an opportunity go by. The railroads
grant n half rate, pins fifty cents, for the
meetings of organized agriculture Jan
uary 18th to 22d. The tickets mast be
purchased between January 16th and
20th. By the payment' of an additional
fifty cents the rate will be good for

can be secured for from $3 to $4 per
week. A large attendance is expected.
NEBRASKA CORN AT WORLD'S
FAIR.
Itate C iaani Wants File
flat fraat Tail Gtaaty.
The Nebraska State Commission to
the World's Fair at St Loais, wishing
to exhibit tbe finest samples of Nebraska-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 m well as to widely advertise
their corn-producing lands. Any farmer
who has grown fine, large samples of
corn is ssked to ship atieast twenty-five
ears of each variety by freight to tbe
Secretary of the Commission, Mr. H. G.
Shedd, 414 McOague 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-
is, the following suggestions should be
fallowed:
The ear should stand on the stalk un
til fully matured. The ears should be
dried in a .heated room, but the kitchen
ia not a good place on account of the
steam. Great care should be taken not
to shell even n single kernel from the
To ship, wrap each ear separately in
cloth or paper, pack carefully in a box,
stullng paper in any remaining apace to
prevent the ears from shaking about in
transit.
Each box should contain tbe shipper's
name aad address. Ship by freight.
The commission will pay freight on all
fine aamplea seat to tbe Secretary of the
Commission, 414 MoCagoe Building,
Omaha, Nebraska.
Mr. D. P. Aahburn of Gibbon, who
will lecture at the Farmers' Institute
next week, was brought up on a dairy
farm in northeastern Ohio. He moved
with his family to Gibbon, Nebcin 1871,
where he engaged in dairying and stock
raising until 1880, when he started n
creamery in conjunction with hia own
dairy. This was the first creamery in
the state, west of Fremont. Mr. Ash
burn wm one of tbe committee of prom
inent dairymen of the United States who
arranged the plans and made the rales
governing the dairy exhibit at tbe
World's Fair at Chicago in 1893. He
had charge of the Nebraska exhibit at
tbe same exposition and secured the
highest average score for butter from
any state exoepting New Hampshire.
This proved the high quality of Nebras
ka batter and brought it prominently to
the attention of eastern buyers and ex
port shippers. For several years Mr.
Aahburn has givea much study to the
improvement of corn and has taken a
course in com judging at the IowaAg
ricultural Collage. He is one of tbe best
qualified corn judges in the west Mr.
Aahburn began Farmers' Institute work
twenty years ago in Nebraska. He has
spsat one winter on the state institute

hall ia the Heary block has been ordered
closed by Gaa Becher, of Columbus, ad
Bunistrator of the Henry estate. This
hall certainly does not comply with tbe
reqaireBMats of the law in construction,
the BMSt important failure being that
both the front and rear doors open in
instead of out. And the ataire and land
ing in the rear have been allowed to get
in a condition where they are liable to
fall of their own weight. Aa thia ia the
only public hall we have its closing is a
matter of much importance to the town.
The cost of fixing this hall so that it
would comply with the law would be but
little, and aa it is quite generally pat
ronized it would seem that the estate
would repair it Ita oloaug is n great
inconvenience to the town. Iftbeydont
care to spend money on it, why not give
tbe use of tbe hall for n certain length of
time to some person who will fix it It
would be much better for the building
than to allow it to go to decay.
