Death a r. A. Wuttwer.

After months of illness F. A.. Wutt-

reaper Monday morning last.
In April, 1897, while driving around

over and Mr.. Wuttwer's leg was
broken. He was removed to a hos
pital at Junction and some time
later returned to his wife at Lewis
town. From this injury he never
fully recovered. While still confined
to his room he contracted typhoid
fever and was in a very dangerous
condition for some days. Finally re-
covering from this, he has since suf-
fered from one trouble and another
until his system was thoroughly I'M
dermined, and while the immediate
cause OF death was septic absorption.
a post-mortem developed that al
most every organ was diseased with
the exception of the kidneys. De-
ceased suffered greatly during past
months and his wife has been con-
stantly with him, while at the same
time assisting in the support OF her
husband. The WoOdmen, OF which
deceased was a prominent member.

A young Londoner, Arthur Chalk
by name, has applied Tor patent
on projectile which he, with the
modesty of all inventors, says is
destined to "revolutioniZe war
fare" Through some device,
which Mr.. Chalk as yet refuses to
explain. his improved missiles, af-
ter moving for ways in a straight
line, according to the orthodox
habit-of course no bullet or shell
does move in straight line, but
never mind that-will turn sharp
angle and go up or down, to the
right or feft, Just as may have been
determined beforehand by the gun
ner using them. In other words,
Mr.. Chalk asserts that soldiers
armed with his weapons will be able
to shoot around corner or down
behind a parapet, and SO destroy
enemies who would be beyond the
reach OF other guns. There is, f"
he SAYS, "no doubt about the ac-
curacy OF aim. II you want to hit
somebody behind the corner OF a
mountain you would find the dis
tance, and fix your bullett to alter
its course at certain moment.
Then you'd fire and the man round
the corner would be sorry. Or,
saw you wanted to hit an enc my's
ship lying on the other side OF one
OF your own. That would be the
easiest thing imaginable. You
would just fix your bullet to 60
straight bit, then soar upward for
while, and then rush down point
first on top on the doomed vessel.
The patent office people have val
ued the invention at Ergo, 600.
and have told me that it is the
mos, marvellous one of the present
age. | have written to the war
Office, but they do not reply, and
If | do not hear from them shall
offer my invention to some foreign
government. OF course, | would
rather the new bullet became the
property OF the English govern
ment, but | want TO know soon"

The state board Of equalization
one day this week listened to the
appeals of the tax agents of var
ious railroads having lines in Colo
RADIO. They claim that the average
rate OF taxation on railroads IN this
state is 6 per cent, and they insist
on reduction of assessment on
their property. A tax agent OF the
Missouri Pacific claimed that his
railroad paid two-thirds OF the
taxes OF kiowa county and that
citizens make greater effort to be
county commissioner than they
would to he governor. As another
illustration OF injustice he cited the
fact that in one school distric' in
Otero county the Missouri Pacific
last year paid $3.50 taxes, yet the
railroad is thirty miles from the
My school house there. From
this. it is very evident that the
,e, enue laws OF Colorado are sadly
in need OF repair.

"Is II > Fake ?"

| BARLEY, Neb., May 3, 1895.
EDITOR TRIBuNE:-In the issue
OF the TRIBUNE OF April goth, under
the caption, ''ls 1t Fakee" re-
ferring TO a proposition OF VIM.
Coleman, OF this county, to furnish
hog millet seed, and his article on
its value and history, you sound a
note OF warning to your readers and
question the fact OF receiving the
par value OF money sent. This
note OF warning, In most instances,
would be well and timely, but for
once, in this case for instance, it is
a little too previous.
Mr.. Coleman, ''Uncle Billy" as
we speak OF him, is a good farmer
residing in the western part of
Red Willow county. He is an
honorable man and writer on az
culture of considerable note, and |
can vouch for hun that he will deal
on the square and even with true
western hospitality. He will do a
friend favor without the anticipa-
ton of c. o. ID value received
following IT. Uncle has cast much
bread upon agricultural waters,
which will, no doubt, return many
days hence to his honor, after his
body is laid to rest. We who
know him best cannot say aught
agains, him, except that he is some
times little enthused with pro-
duct which bids fair to be of much
value to his brother farmers.
In the main his article on hog
millet is correct. We would say,
however, that our observation has
! proven that the value OF the thresh, d
straw as a hay is better relished and
of more value than wheat, rye, oats
or barley straw, but not OF equal !
value to alfalfa, timothy, red Glow =
or good prairie hay.
Mr.. Coleman says the seed
should be ground to get best value
out OF it. That is true, except
when fed to fowls or sheep. and
as sheep feed it has few, If any
equals, furnishing at the same time
grain and hay. 1t can be furnished
here at Bartley in good grain sacks
I. o. b. cars for SI.as per hundrs d
pounds. l think it would be well
