BUSY NEBRASKA FARMERS.
Unusual Activity Since the Rains As.
 sures a Normal Grain Acreage.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 22.-The pas. ill the development of the agricultnr- al resources of Nebraska than the whole summer. More fall blowing and seeding has bean done in the time than during the past two months. In fact, since the rains of seven days ago which concluded the drouth of two months, the farmers of the state have been in the field as much as their physical condition would pr init. Every man who is able to han dle blow on the farms Of the state has been busy breaking up ground for fall wheat or seeding. The grain acreage, which was believed to have been curtailed one-third by the ex- tended drCuth, has been extended by the great energy displayed, until it will be at least normal, and probably little larger.
 Showers have fallen almost daily over the state, but at no time has it been too wet to break ground. A large quantity of virgin soil is also being turned over preparatory for seeding next year The result has been, also, that the repeated rains have brought out the range grass, which was so terribly burned, until it looks quite green again. The streams of the state are beginning to show signs of the increased moist ure, and the whole state is feeling the good results. The continued summ r weather in the state will very much contribute to the success of those farmers who desire to put in larg- CT acreage of wheat than usual
 Stock men declare that the situa- tion on the range has improved 15 per cent since the rains commenced, and the grain men estimate that their , prospects have improved 25 per cent since the drouth was broken. Tonight rain is falling over the state In no section of Nebraska is there any evi- deulce of the parched and drouth- like conditions that were so general a week ago.

sand.

PlainfIald, N- J., Oct. 22.-One day this week beautiful carpet and some rugs of fine texture were delivered by express at the house here of the Rev. T. Logan Murphy of the Church of the Holy Cross. They were not ex- pected, but the bundle was plainly marked "For the Rsc.ory of Holy Cross Church, Plainfield," and it was received. The marks on it showed that it came from Sheppard Knapp & Go. of New York. The Rev. MT Mur- phy wrote to the firm about it. and got reply that it was all right, that the goods had been paid for by th1 Rev. Mir. Lewis, the assistant reed of the Holy Cross church.
 Here is a mystery again, fer there is no such person connected with that church. MT. Murphy by more per sistent inquiry found that a man call ing himself the assistant rector had bought the goods and had paid for them with a worthless check which amounted to $11 over their cost, and had taken the change. The name of Holy Cross church had been enough guarantee to the firm, and they did not hesitate to send the gcods. They had no suspicion of swindle until MT. Murphy wrote them. The goods will be sent back on Monday.

HEROINE REVEALED.
Records Show Deborah Gannett Was
 Massachusetts Soldier

Washington, Oct 22-The fact tba- there was another New England wo- man besides Moll Pitcher, who won fame at the cannon's mouth, has re- gently been brought to light as the result of an inquiry at the pension bureau. There is certain lady liv- ing in Massachusetts who is anxious to become a Daughter of the Revolu- ton. She believed that her genealogy could be traced back to the revolu- tionary times through the records of the interior department. To prove this fact she wrote to the secretary of the interior, asking information as to the alleged military service of De- said to have served as an enlisted soldier in the revolutionary war as a member of the Massachusetts infantry. Her belief was confirmed by the re- ceipt of the following letter:
 'Madam-In response to your le- cent inquiry, referred to this bureau by Hon. Webster Davis, acting secre- tary of the interior, I have the honor to advise you that Deborah Gannett, woman who served as a soldier in the revolutionary war under the name of Robert Shurtleff, made an appIica- i tion for pension on September IA, 1918 at which time she was 59 years of age and residing at Sharon, Mass, and her pension was allowed for two years actual service as a private in the Massachusetts troops, revolutionary war. It appears that she enlisted ir the month of April, 17S1, and served in Captain George Webb's company in the Massachusetts regiment com manded by Col. Shepherd, afterwart by Col Jackson, until about thu month of November, 17S3, when sh' was honorably discharged. During the time of her service she was wound ed at Tarrytown (probably in th' second battle of that place), and wa' also present at the surrender of LorC Cornwallis. Very respectfully,

GEN. BOOTHS NEXT CAMPAIGN
Thinks He Will Have as Large Ger
 man Army as Emperor William.

London, Oct. 22.-General Booth Of the Salvation Army has gone to Ger many. He will open a big campaign in Berlin on Monday, the second with in a year. He says the harvest of souls is already enormous and if things go on as they lately have done he will soon have as big a German army as Emperor William himself
 General Booth believes that the em- peror is favorably disposed toward the Salvation Army. Its military methods and strict discipline appeal to his majesty's soldierly instincts and the zeal and devotion of the, rank and file please him greatly.
 General Booth is a pretty cautious man in some respects and he has no desire to come into collision with the lese majeste law. But he gives out the impression that he does not de- spair of converting the emperor No sumptuary exceptions would, how ever, be made on behalf of the em- peror. If he desires to join the Sal vation Army he is quite at liberty to do so, for his soul is as we'll worth saving as that of any other human creature, but he will have to go to the stool of penitence and don the red jersey in due course

RILEY GRANNAN'S CASE.

New York, Oct. 22.-Tha opim- -n Of the court of appeals in Riley Gran nan's s case has been published in full in the New York Law Journal. It is written by Judge Celora B. Martin, all of whose associates agree wi h him that 8 person may lawfully he excluded permanently from the meet ings of any association of this state as a penalty for violating the rule of the New York Jockey club which prohibits the giving of presents to jockeys. MT. Grammar was ruled off the turf, as the phrase is, for giving a jockey $500. The court holds that the regulation forbidding such prac- tices and punishing them by perma- nent exclusion from the race courses is not unreasonable. The opinion would be more satisfactory, however, if it made some reference to one of the most important points discussed by MT. Justice Hatch in the appellate division. This was that the law as it now exists in New York gives to the jockey club and the various racing associations a practical monopoly of horse racing for money. The abso- lute control of great public amuse- ment is thus conferred upon these corporations, and it is essential to the interest of the people that they should not exercise that control oppressively or by the imposition of excessive pen alties for violation of their regula-
