that those who are In charge of agricul
tural education irt the state would so well
at leaat to give to their atudenta a knowl
edge of what la being done In this direc
tion In different portions of th United
BUtes and In other countries..
One of my chief reasons for being a
strong advocate of a reorganisation of the
farmers' business along co-operative lines
Is that experience showa that wherever
this step is taktyi the same organization
which brlmrs men together for mutual ad
vantage In the business of their lives Is
always utilised for tne iai more impor
tant object of bringing them together for
purposes of social and Intellectual enjoy
ment unit advancement. This brings me
to my last and, to my mind, the most Im
portant aspect of the whole agricultural
.uestloli better living.

(.'oavenlenees Nat Bverythlasj.
Well, r have no doubt that all these
modern conveniences will do a great deal.
Fut It must not be forgotten mat wnne
the country conditions will thue be greatly
mproved. the town rs not going to remain
ststlonsry. The lure of the city will con
tinue to operate on many minns. i
recollect after I had twn six or seven
months on the range and when I came
down to sell my eat tie In Chicago, It waa
a real pleasure to me to walk the atrees
of Chicago. I enjoyed the clatter and the
glare. I was quite happy flattening my
nose against the store windows. A leas
congenial occupation, aa I feel today. It
would be hard to Imagine, but the remem
brance of the aensatlon has Its lesson for
me now.
There Is my mind one way, ana one
way only, of building up a country life
which will compete aucceesfully with the
He of the city. Tou have got, inrougn
education, and of course this will take
time, to change the mental outlook of the
country child. How- this Is to be done
It Is for those who are responsible for the
education of each community to say. All
I can do Is to define the need as I see It,
and I will do so In words which I have
Used at home
Wist Two inanges.
In the rural mind." The physical environ
ment nf the farmer la replete with Inter
est to the followers of almost every branch
of natural science. That Interest must oe
communicated to the agricultural classes
according to their capabilities. 'Mature
study," I believe. Is the iHtest term of the
pedagogues for the revelation of the simple
natural nrocesses. but to make these pro
cesses Interesting to the child you must
first make them Interesting to the teacher.
The second change In the outlook relates
to the spiritual rather than to tne util
itarian side of education, uomenow or
other, that intimacy with and arrection
for nature to which Wordewortn naa given
the highest expreaslon must bs engendered
In the mind of the rural youth. In thla way
only will the countryman come to realise
the beauty of the life about him. as
through the teaching of science he will
come to realise the truth."
Tnt nti. other illustration of educational
leal I will mention without names, but to
those who have known western life aa long
as I have, many prominent names will
occur. It is a common experience for men
who took Horace Greeley's advice perhape
In the middle of the last century, to admit
that thev owed their good fortune largely
to circumstances and to opportunities of
the pioneer days, which no longer exist, but
to recognise that for the generatlone which
come after them, success In life, both In
Individuals and In communities, must de
pend mainly upon education. These men,
Inspired with the loftieat patriotism, have
frennentlv left behind them rtchlv endowed
educational institutions, which are the won
der and the envy of European peoples.
Omnha haa profited by tne exisience or
this spirit among Its great citizens.
Now, I am Just aa certain as 1 am of my
presence here that the democracy of such
states as Nebraska and Iowa will not only
maintain their faith In education, but will,
as the years go by, expreea that faith In a
broader, . a higher and a more efficient
V anner. Bducatlon becomea really effi
cient only when the general body or clu
sena and the pedagogues so thoroughly un
derstand and co-operate with each other
that the different grades of education, gen
eral and technical, are closely related to
the life of the community.
CORN IS fCIMU" IJf FIERY ETTERS
Motto of Exposition Rinses from the
'Welcome Arch.
"Corn la King."
That Is the motto which biases forth In
letters of fire from the "Welcome" arch
In front of the city hall during the National
Corn exposition.
The city -was Illuminated Wednesday
night with all the splendor which has made
Omaha, famous, for In addition to all
the street decorations whlcn are used dur
ing Ak-Sar-Ben the merchants have ad
ded many new signs which all unite In
making the entire city a blase of glory
and ' beautiful enough for the coming of
even Sa great a king as King Corn.
Merchants throughout the entire city are
also vicing with each other In the splendor
of their window decorations. While tho
Christmas season Is at hand and all the
merchants are desirous of showing as
many articles of merchandise In the win'
dows as possible, King Com Is not forgot
ten and nearly, every large Merchant house
has the emblem of the Corn show In the
decorations.
Tbe hotels are a little slow in getting out
their -decorations and Thursday morning
the Merchants hotel was the only hostelry
In OnViha which had Its windows decorated
In honor of King Corn. Others say, how
ever, they will soon be In line.
Borne of the merchants have made some
unique and splendid displays In honor o
the corn exposition. These are too numer
ous to mention. Fhtl Armour at the Ben
nett company has wrought wonders by tli
use of rornstalks, which he has worked li
the holiday gooda. Colling at. Brandela' ha.
glided the natural cornstalks and worke
up some splendid effects. Miller, Stewar

COUNTRY LIKE COMMISSION GOES
Holds Another Session la Omaha and
Starts on Its Way.
'The farmer Insisted on my staying to
supper and I somewhat reluctantly gavt
in." E. A. Arnold, an Iowa creamery com
pany agent, was telling the country life
commission what he had learned at first
hand ot manners, customs, food, etc.. In
southern Iowa and northern Missouri.
"The woman of the house cooked som
pork In a skillet and cooked 1t until it wan
as hard as sole leather. Then she fried
potatoes for a few minutes In the grease
left In the skillet and served the potatoes
swimming In the grease. She took some
bread out of the oven, but did not cut It,
simply tearing it Into hunks.
"She seemed to feel that a guest being
present she should do something extra,
so after lamenting that they had no pie
he broke up some crackers, poured on this
a little diluted milk, emptied some lemon
extract Into the bowl and put It on the
table."
"How did you feel next morning?" In
quired Dr. Stiles, the marine hospital serv
ice expert who Is with the commission and
In whom professional interest could not be
kept down.
Aa expressive grimace was ths only an
swer from Arnold. This speaker declared
that farm conditions of farm life varied
widely, but that fried food formed at leaat
:) per cent ot the diet of farmers when
homes he had visited.

that his railroad "company would prefer

Dr. Btlles slao brought. out by questions
the fact that the small country slaughter

He also touched upon the almost total
lack of sanitary conditions In the south,
especially among the negroes and showed
how enormous the ravages of typhoid are
for this reason.
Desn Im II. Bailey of the college of agri

"Alfalfa Is Queen."
That sign should have Its place beside the
"Corn Is Klpg" sign on the triumphal arch
In front of the city hall, for It Is the truth.
Occupying one end or a new exposition

besides the commercial exhibits. Is the

Federation Wields Im

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10,-The big labor
test case, with former democratic presiden
tial candidate, Alton B. Parker of New
York, among the counsel and the executive
heads of ths American Federation of
Labor, with Its 2,000,000 members, arrayed
against the Buck's Stove and Range com
pany of St. Louis, affiliated with great
manufacturing Interests In the country,
was argued today In the court of appeals
of the District of Columbia. The case Is
on appeal from ths Injunction granted by
Judge Gould of the district supreme court.
restraining the federation from continuing
the name of the Bucks company on the
"We Don't Patronise" list In ths organ
isation's organ, the Federatlonlsts. Counsel
for ths federstlon officials opened the argu
ments, urging reversal of ths lower court.
The Injunction was granted against Presi
dent Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison of the federation.
Counsel claimed the Injunction was in
dentation of the rights of labor organisa
tion snd sn abuse of the Injunction power
of the courts.
Answering, Justice Van Orsdel, ss to the
right of sn employe to prevent his em
ployer from continuing business by tsklng
on new hands, Attorney Ralston declared
that the foundation of such a right was
the power of free speech, by which means
sn employe might dissuade a prospective
successor from taking up the work which
he had dropped. Counsel strenuously de
nied that the method adopted by the feder
ation to prevent the sale of ths product
of the St. Louis concern amounted to an
unlawful conspiracy, or that the means
Used oonstlthted an unlawful boycott.
Counsel for ths Bucks company asked that
the Injunction be continued In effect, and
dwelt on the enormous damage that an
organisation like the federation, with the
power It wields through Its great member
ship, can inflict.

ment on the verdict of the Jury. Ths trial
Is over and the case closed.
"Will Abbfe Rice be prosecuted?" was
asked.
"I should say not," he replied quickly.
MRS. niCK CRIES WHEN FREED
Will Rejoin Husband Soon Glad
Davis Waa Acquitted.
Vpon the instructions of the county at
torney, Mrs. Abble Rice was on Thursday
discharged from custody. The woman has
been held In the matron's department ot
the city Jail since a few days sftcr ths
tragedy, held merely as a witness and not
under suspicion ot having committed the
crime herself.
Though she has been released from cus
tody, Mrs. Rice will remain with ths
matron at the Jail for a few days or s
week, perhaps, until her father csn make
some arrangements for her care, or until
her husband Is in a position to send for
her. The woman's husband, a soldier. Is
now In Boston, but he has written his wife
that he will make a home for her aa soon
aa possible, when ha will send for her. 1
When Chief of Police Donahue notified
Mrs. Rice Thursday morning .hat she was
at liberty to go where she pleased, she
broke down and cried in the matron's de
partment, declaring that she did not want
to leave Mrs. Gibbons, the matron, who
had been kind to her during the three
months' Incarceration and who adviaed her
to lead a different life In the future. She
told the matron that she waa ths first
friend she had for a long time and that
she wanted to stay with her. This could
not he, snd the county attorney advised
her to accept her husband's proposals snd
go back to him.
Mra. Rice, In company with Matron Gib
bons, visited the county attorney Thursday
noon and had a long conference with that
official. Following this conference she
said:
"I will stay with the matron, who has
been so kind to me, for a few days, a
week maybe, until my father can make
some arrangements for me until my bus
band. Is ready for me to go to him," said
Mrs. Rlcs. ."My. father has, written me
that h .will, look out for ma at present,
and I will do what he says, though I will
never go to my old home la Des Moines.
That Is one city I will never see again.
"I would tike '. to stay with ths matron,
but as that-aannot be I must certainly Itsvs
Omaha. It would never do for me to stay
here with the old associates and tbe old
companions, for I am firmly resolved to
leave the old life and live ss a decent
woman should In the future.
"Where my husband and 1 will go I, of
course, do not know as yst, but we will
gg tn soras town where I sa nat known

snd where I will pot be pointed out every
where, ss I am here. No, I will not change
my name. There are lots of Rices In the
country and In another town where I am
not known and where this esse Is not
known can live a quiet life snd no one
know who I am or what I was."
Aaked If she were glad Dsvls came clear,
Mrs. Rice said:
"I guess I am glad Mr. Davis was freed,
because If he had been convicted they
might have held me, wouldn't they?" she
said. "I only told what I knew ot the
case, of what happened before. Of course,
I did not see Mr. Dsvls shoot ths doctor,
and you know there Is always doubt, and
he may not have fired the shot. Anyway,
I sm glad he waa not found guilty, for
now I am free, too, and If he had been
convicted I don't know what they would
have done with me."

MEN WITH MONEY DISAPPEAR
Possibility Gang; Infests Territory

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Dec, 10. (Special.)
Is that 'part of the Missouri river where
South Dakota and Nebraska join, Infested
by a desperate band of murderers who
make a practice of killing and robbing
at Isolated points anyone whom they find
with large sums of money T
, This is the question that is agitating
some of the residents of that part ot
Gregory county which is tributary to the
"Big Muddy." The mysterious disappear
ance of three persons in tho course of
a few months, who were known to have
largs sums of money tn their possession
when last seen alive, has given rise to the
belief that ths missing men were mur
dered and robbed, after which their bodies
were hidden, either by being buried In
tbe ground at some remote point or by
being weighted down and thrown into the
Missouri river.
It Is only a few months ago thst "Tod''
McPherson, a well known fanner and
stock feeder of Bon Homme county, dis
appeared as) though the earth hsd opened
up and swallowed him. He had gone to
the west side of the river with n large
sum In cash In his possession for the pur
pose of purchasing a herd of cattle of
Which he had been informed. Boon after
reaching the west side of the river he
disappeared, and from that day to this not
the slightest trsce of him has been found.
The more recent victims of the supposed
mysterious murderers were the Btegmeyer
brothers, who last month disappeared
from their home at an laolated point near
the little town of St. Charles, situated In
Gregory county. Bo far as known the
brothers hsd never had troublo with any
one, and there was not the slightest rea
son why they should voluntarily make
thejr disappearance.
It was believed when they first disap
peared that their money was aafe In some
bank, but It has since been discovered
that such wss not the case, snd thst the
brothers made a practice of keeping
In their possession large aggregate sums
which they had saved.
This has given rise to the belief that
the brothers wero murdered snd robbed. !
and that their bodies were then secreted
by being burled In some out-of-the-way
ravine, or were hauled to the Missouri
river end after being weighted down with
rocks were thrown into the stream.
Like the cse of "Tod" Mcpherson, not
the slightest traeo haa been found of
either of the brothers. If a regularly or
ganised band of murderers Is at work In
that region they are very shrewd and
manage to keep their tracks woll cov
ered. Yon Will Bo Welcome.
