One of the odest setters of Nebraska, Bamuel David Rouvlcr, ''about" 70 years old, Washington county, made a period ical visit to his friend, Justice of the Peace C, W. Brltt, Monday. Mr. Uouvler came to Nebraska at the big land boom In Washington county In 1SSI and since then he has lived on tho same farm. When Mr. Douvler camov to Nebraska there were but three log cabins in Omaha. Those three huts were down at tho foot of Douglas street De Sota, In Washing ton county, was the town to which Mr. Douvler had started. The Astors had a fur' trading post at Do Soto. The town was prcss-agented as tho coming city of the went, and some held that the statu capltol should be there. Business was brisk there In the early days, Mr. Dou vler said tho Indians gave him no trouble. The corn raised on his 125 acres has won for him first prlio at a numbor of fairs. Mr. Bouvlcr'a father, Louis Douvler, was a personal friend of Daniel Boone In the early days down In Kentucky, tho state from which Mr. Douvler started for Nebraska. A number of Omahans have hunted dn Mr. Bouvler's, farm. Among them are Judge Dritt, Judge Wakcley, Judge Donne, J. J. Drown, Qritfith Cooley, "Judge" Cooley, Randall Drown, Jim Doyd and Peter Sarpy. Dairy Special Has Given Farmers New Ideas on Farming "The running of th dairy special through Nebraska wilt result In adding thousands of dollars to the annual out put of the farmers residing along the route aver which the train passed," said D. Clem Beaver of the Durllngton'a home seeking department, who has just re turned from having, accompanied the lec turers, who were out ten days. "Everywhere the train stopped." added Mr. Dcavrr, "there were crowds of farm- era gathered to listen to the lecturers and learn tho lessons relative to practical and scientific dairying. The questions asked following the lectures showed that the farmers, many of whom came from ten to twenty miles, were greatly Inter ested, i "The result of the., trip means that from now on the Nebraska farmers who lis tened to the talks will give more atten tion to raising cows for the milk and will farm along different lines than In the past More attention will be paid to rais ing forage plants and stock foods and not so much to raising grain simply for market It has started the men out on a new lino of thought and eventually this trip Is going to bring northern and west ern Nebraska. Into tbe foreground as a dairying Motion." Union Pacific to Try to Eliminate Drinking Trainmen The Union Taclflo proposes to now en force the general order against trainmen drinking while on duty. 8uch an order has been In existence- for years, but It has notoqen enforced to the letter. Now, however, notice has been sent to tho brotherhoods of all trainmen that mem bers of the orders who are employos of the road will be dismissed when It Is learnod that they are addicted to the use of Intoxicating liquors. It Is said at headquarters that the en forcement of the liquor drinking order Is not for the purposo of curtailing any of the liberties of the men, but Is simply for the purpose of assuring more safety to themselves and the people who are on the trains and In their charge. For years the Union Pacific has kept tab on its trainmen and has ascertained that but a small per cent of them are ad dicted to drink and tho Idea now Is to entirely ellmlnato all drinking by en gineers,, firemen, conductors and all oth ers who have to do with the running nt trains.
