$50 far from seeking a pretcxt to de-

Spain would regard it as a great mis-
fortune To be given the occasion for

Spain hopes of America that the latter
will do it's utmost To fortify sentiments
of friendship for the sake and welfare
of both countries, while at the same
time respecting the rights of Spain"

MR.. HELLER'S FUNERAL

dent Attend 1t Mt Ceresco.
The funeral of Mr.. Heller which was
held at Ceresco on last Saturday af-
ternoon was the largest attended ever
held in the city. Friends were pres
emit from Lincoln, Wahoo, Superior
and other points. Rev. Broden of
Omaha preached the funeral sermon
The remains were buried at Pleasant
Hill cemetery and were followed to
their last resting place by a large con-
course of friends.
The coroner's jury last Friday lis
tened to evidence in the matter OF the
death of Mr.. Heller. After examining
fourteen witnesses the jury brought in
a verdict to the cffe,t that he came to
his death by being run over by a car
on the =. L. g. NJ. V. railway while a
flying switch was being made. The
evidence was somewhat conflicting
and did not tend to show negligence
on the part of either Mr.. Heller or the
railroad company. 1t is thought that
Mr.. Heller did not notice the approach
ing car until he was quite close to
the track, too close in fact to avoid Q
collision.

RAISING PEACocKs FoRPRoFiT
There Is Much Money In the Industry

George Vanderbilt, Theodore Have

industry on American soil. Although
peacocks are not unknown here they
are not nearly SO often seer as in Eng

Perhaps the most remarkable peacock
show today seen anywhere in the world
Is at Warwick castle. The place is
famous for them and the handsomest
OF the birds are white. a rare color for
peacocks. 1t does not require great
skill to breed pea fowls. They must,
however, be fed regularly and plenti-
fully, and in winter they must have a
warm and sheltered home. The hen
bird should be allowed to chose her
W nest IL a strong, healthy brood Is
desired, and the tactics of the pea fowl
farmer in this regard should be exact

try raiser. II Is understood that the
breeding OF the birds is very profitable
in England. and 1t is not to be SUD-
posed that the millionaires whose
names are here mentioned would go in
to the business of raising peacocks un-
less there was some possibility that
there would be money In ii in Amerl.

Poor Local support
The publication recently of the re-
ported assertion of one of the board

state fairs held in Omaha has attract
cd some attention in Omaha, but 1t is
not news. IL vas said during and aft
or the fair. and even before it.. while
the members of the board of managers
were trying TO get certain necessary
improvements out of the fair and speed
association, that the board were tired
of trying to get the facilities and con-
veniences assured them when the fair
was moved To Omaha. During the
fair, members of the board were heard
to say that the state fair would not
again be held SO far from the city at
which IL is located. as the necessity of
travelling such a distance by street car
and similar conveyance seriously cut
down the attendance. Attention wa,
called TO the fact that Omahn people
did not turn out to the fair as the
state board had n right TO expect they
would, and as it had been promised
they would. This was due largely to
the distance they had to travel and
the uncertainty of rsaching their
home in season IL they went.
At the next meeting Of the state
board IL will be shown that the attend
of people from Lincoln, fifty. i've miles
away, was actually greater in proper
ton 10 the size of the city than was
that from Omaha. This seemed to be
