MINDEN AFTER PROPOSED
NEW GULF RAILROAD
' - T J ii
KEARNEY, Neb., July 25.-(SpeclaI.)-
T. W. Haws, G. M. Ioungson and L. W.
Hague constituted a party from Minden
who visited Kearney last evening, and
made arrangement with Et H. Morey,
civil engineer, to make a survey from
Kearney through Minden and thence on
south to Franklin for a proposed rail
road that will either take the place of
the present proposed line of the Dakota,
Kansas & Gulf road or connect with it
The survey will -start the first of the
week, the first problem being that of
attempting to find a grade as uniform
as that now possible over the Beloit
line.
Mr. Ioungson, speaking for the party,
stated that it was the purpose of the
Minden people to first ascertain if the
proposed change was feasible, and if it
! was, Minden people, who are advocat
ing the change, would make It worth
' while to the road to come through their
town instead of passing four miles to the
' west
They give out the information that
' HUdreth is the only place along the route
i that is not actively pushing the propo
, sltlon and that Minden is only too eager
to take the place on that line that HU
dreth does not appreciate.

COSTER'S RELICS PRESERVED
Military Trappings Worn by Indian
Fighter Placed in Museum.
INCLUDES TREMENDOUS SABER
inoif the Mementoes la the Bnck
akla Coat In Which He Waa Moat
Frequently Pictured na a
Government Seont.
An interesting collection has recently
been Installed In the hall of history In
the National museum, consisting of arti
cles donated and lent by Mra George A.
Custer, widow of Brevet Major General
George A. Custer, V. S. A.
General Custer is probably best remem
bered by his achievements in the many
Indian fights In which he participated
and by his record as an Indian scout
The collection Includes a memento of
this phase of his career in the form of
the white buckskin coat in which he has
been most often pictured as a plainsman
and scout' This coat is In excellent con
dition and looks as if the general had
just removed it and hung it up. It has
deep collar and cuffs and is heavily
fringed with slashed buckskin trimming.
The pockets are made much as in mod
ern sporting coats, while the buttons are
of the regular army pattern of the period.
This coat calls to mind the services
which General Custer rendered to the
government in the campaigns against the
Sioux in 1875 and 1876, in the Jast of whioh,
the battle of the Little Big Horn, ne met
his death.
.Accompanying the coat is a yellow
plumed cavalry helmet and a buckskin
gauntlet both worn during his . active
service, against the Indians from 1866 to
1878 while lieutenant colonel, Seventh cav.
airy, U. S. A.
There is also a blue regulation army
officer's coat with two starred straps,
plush collar and cuffs the coat which
he wore on the occasion of his marriage
to Miss Elizabeth Bacon, February 9,
186. A straight cavalry saber of tre
mendous size Is also Included in the col
lection. It was a spoil of war captured
by Major Drew, who presented it to Gen
eral Custer, since he knew of no other
man able to wield such a large weapon.
It has a Toledo blade, on which Is en
graved In Spanish, "Do not draw me
without cause and do not sheath me with
out honor."
A Virginia state flag, a prize of the
general's personal prowess, captured by
him in 1861 when a lieutenant is also on
display. It is supposed to be the first
standard captured by the Army of the
Potomac
A Flag of Trace.
One object of great historical sig
nificance, though rather of an unro
mantic nature is half of a white towel
which figured conspicuously In the bat
tle lust nreceedlnar the surrender of Gen
eral Lee at Appomattox. It seems that
while General Lee had gone to the rear
of the .confederate lines to secure an lni
terview with General Grant leaving Gen
eral Longstreet In command. General
Gordon's division became hard pressed
by the enemy and called on Long-street
for assistance. Not being able to furnish
assistance at that time, Longstreet sent
his inspector general, Major R. M. Slmms,
to suggest to Gordon the sending of a
flag of truce to the federals reauestinar
a suspension of hostilities Pending- an
Interview between Lee and Grant. Fol
lowing this suggestion. Gordon at once
dispatched Slmms to the federal com
mander, Sheridan, with this reauest. As
Major Slmms galloped toward the lines
of the federals he searched his haversack
for something white to cover his advance.
out round only a towel. This he drew
out and waved above his head as he ap
proached the enemy. The union snMUr.
caught sight of the white towel, held their
nre. and under this improvised flag
Slmms was allowed to enter the lines,
where he was met by Colonel Whlttaker
and taken to General Custer, who was
in command of that part of the field.
Neither of these officers, however, cared
to declare a temporary cessation of hos
tilities just then, feeling- that thv ha.i
the advantage of the fight and held the
southern army at their mercy. So Slmms
was obliged to return to his own lines
without' accomplishing Ms purpose. He
left the truce towel in the hands of Colo
nel Whlttaker, who took half of it and
gave the other portion to General Custer.
it was only shortly after the Incident
Just mentioned that Sheridan and Gordon
met and established a temporary truce,
wnicn neia until the conference between
Grant and Lee terminated .the war.
The "Surrender Table."
Most important amonsr the collection nf
war rellos la a little oval table of wood.
much battered and scarred, on which
General Grant wrote the letter containing
tne terms of surrender of General Lee. at
the home of Wllmer McLean, near Appo
mattox Court House, Va. Immediately
after this event the table was purchased
by General Sheridan and given to Genera!
Custer, as a present for his wife. General
Sheridan s letter of presentation. AnitA
April 10, 1865, the day following the sur
render, which Is included in the collec

The collection also includes a Din made
from a piece of conch shell, once a button
from the coat of General Washington
presented by a relative of the general to
Custer. Later Custer had it mounted In
gold for his wife, who wore It for many
years as a brooch.
TOURING PARTY HELPS
OLD MAN TO POOR FARM
A big seven-passenger car came to a
standstill In front of the poor farm door
about midnight Wednesday. A bent and
tottering old man-was assisted from .he
car by the chauffeur and hobbled up the
steps.
. According to the old man's disconnected
story, he went for a walk last evening
and, becoming confused, mistook one of
the big mansions In the upper Farnam
street district for the poor house When
he reached there, it was as far as his
poor old legs could go and he lay down
on the grass, where he was found by a
night watchman. As the watchman was
helping him up and pointing out the way
to the county farm, a big machine with
a party, evidently returning from one of
the clubs, stopped to see what had hap
pened. When they found the old man's
plight room waa made for him in the car
and it was "over the hills to the poor
house" in a far different style than the
usual trip.

KANSAS RAILRADERS
BOOST THEIR CROPS
Thirty freight agents of the Union Pa
cific, coming from as many different
points on the company's Kansas lines,
are at headquarters holding a family
meeting with - the head officials. They
come from the eastern, central, northern
and western portions of the state and
are all enthusiastic over Kansas crop
prospects this year.
The Kansas railroad men declare that
the winter wheat crop of the Btate Is a
bumper. The yield will exceed that of
any former year and the quality is of
the best This crop has all been secured,
a large portion of It has been-threshed
and much of it Is being marketed. The
wheat is turning out from twenty to
thirty bushels per acre And many fields
are running as high as forty bushels.
While there has not been too much rain,
all of the railroad men say there has been
an abundance for the corn and that with
a few exceptions where the area Is very
limited the crop promises to be the best
the state has ever garnered. As far west
as Ellis, where corn Is never looked upon
as a sure crop, this year it Is good, and
with seasonable weather from now on it
will husk from thirty to forty bushels per
acre, while east and southeast the yield
will be fully double this.
According to the railroad men most of
the corn belt of Kansas has been visited
with two or three heavy rains within the
last ten days, and with one more rain
before the middle of August a bumper
crop will be assured.

Hot Weather Helps
for Skin and Hair
The Hot winds and scorching sun of
summer will not mar the clear, velvety
complexion and delicate skin if a plain
spurmax lotion . is applied dally. Ton
can prepare your own lotion for a trif
ling sum by stirring two teaspoonfuls
glycerine in Pint witch hazel (or hot
water,) then adding 4 ounces spurmax.
This spurmax lotion is invisible when
on, does not spot, streak or rub off and
will banish tan, freckles, lines, age
marks and blotches, as well as dispel
the oily, shiny condition.
Hair shampooed frequently wth a
teasppoonful canthrox dissolved in a cup
of hot water will quickly regain Its for

Omaha Club Takes
Referendum as to
Building Addition
A referendum of members of the Omaha
club Is being taken to advise the di
rectors on the question of enlarging the
club house by the addition of a building
on the west side to contain card and
reading rooms and squash courts, at
an estimate cost of 840.000. The architect's
diagram of the proposed change aeoort
panies the postal card, which members
are Invited to fill and return. The detailed
explanation of what la Involved among
other things says:
The fixed indebtedness of the club Is
855.000, made up of a mortgage of 835,000
on the club house, 110,000 mortgage on me
strip of land adjoining and 810,000 owed
the bank. It Is hoped the club will re
duce this by the Drat of the year to
850.000. With the suggested addition the
fixed Indeptednesa would be 890,000.
The board has asaurance that a mort
gage of 865,000 pan be placed on the
realty and the balance, 825.000, can be
borrowed from the banks The Interest
charges now amount to 82-850 , and
assuming the addition is built would
approximate 86,400. Without doubt at
least twenty-five new- member could be
obtained, whose dues would offset the
addition Interest
The board, after careful consideration,
believes, that It la to the interest of the
rluh and of the cltf that lounging and
card rooms and squash courts be built. At
present we are using the rooms desig
nated -for a writing room as a card
room and this room Is inadequate to
meet the demands, besides leaving no
appropriate writing room.
About two years ago the construction
of an addition waa submitted to the
members on the theory that the members
would take bonds to cover the cost ana
clearing up the Indebtedness then owed.
iTnrir th nronoaltlon now submitted the
members will not be called on for sub
scriptions, assessments or conations.

feel that the throwing ot several bunches
of strange hogs together In this way
causes them to fight a great deal in the
cars and results in the killing of some.
