About Noted People

Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho has
been prominently Identified with democratic
politics for a number of years and was
elected governor at the fall election in 1897.
One OF his notable characteristics is hs
utter aversion to neckties, and the people
Of Idaho never had the pleasure of seeing
one adorn his neck.
Ex-Governor Hogg Of Texas says regarding
the stories about his children's names: The
truth Of the matter is that my girls name
is Ina Hogg. She was named by her mother.
Her mother was reading a book mewhere
in which one of the characters which inter-
ested her exceptionally was named Ina.
About that time the little girl came along
and she was named Ina. We never noticed
the play on the name until vt was called to
our attention. The boys all have rational
names. They are Tom, Mike and Will"
Suit will be entered by tho heirs Of Baron
de Kalb, who served in the Colonial army
during the revolutionary war, for a sale in
partition Of land which was once owned by
the government. The baron left a son,
Sebastian, whose son George went to Cincin-
natl. He died, leaving a widow. who now
lives on Clifton Heights. Cincinnati. The
widow found some time ago papers which
her counsel says give her title to 100 acres
OF valuable land in the vicinity of Chilli
Gothic, o.. which had been given to Baron
de Kalb by the government in payment fer
his services.
That one should go away from home to
get the news is an old and generally be-
lieved saying. 1.-THE new secretary of war
OF America remarks the London Globe,

one newspaper, the Root family has dis

American life,' and our contemporary hiuts

Lieutenant General Sir Frederick William
Edward Forester Walker, who Will com

movement that may be made against the
Beers, Is a large man and a typical soldier.
He is a Scotchman, and his forefathers were
conspicuous members Of the Clan Grant.

Told Out of Court

The lawyer asked the witness, reports the
Churchman, If the incident previously al
luded to wasn't a miracle, and the witness
said he didn't know what a miracle was.
"Oh, come" said the attorney. Sup
posing you were looking out OF a window in
the twentieth story of a building and should
fall out and should not be injured. What
would you call that"
IAN accident" was the stolid reply.
Eyes, yes; but what else would you call
It? Well, suppose you were doing the same
thing the next day; suppose you looked out
of the twentieth story window and fell out,
and again should find yourself not injured.
Now, what would you call that"
"A coincidence" said tho witness.
"Oh, COME, now" the lawyer began again.
81 want you to understand what a miracle
IL, and I'm sure you do. Now, just sup
pose that on the third day you were looking
out Of the twentieth-stOry window and fell
out and struck your head on the pavement
twenty stories below, and were not in the
least injured. Come, now, what would you
call it?"
Three times? ?" said the witness, rousing
a little from his apathy, well, I'd call
that a habit"
And the lawyer gave 1t up.

The new pastor OF the Kountze Memorial
church, Rev. Edward f.. Trefz, comes to
Omaha from st. Joseph, where he has earned
more than a FOCAL reputation in the pulpit.
For the last few years he has had editorial
charge Of the st. Joseph Herald and now re-
turns to church work in response to his new
call. His college education was obtained at
Midland college at Atchison, Kan, his theo-
logical studies being finished off with a post
graduate course at Princeton. He was or
dained to the ministry in 1894 and even
while In active newspaper work continued
to fill a Sunday pulpit. Mr.. Trefz is a young
man of excellent address, in his very prime,
sure to infuse his own spirit of energy into
his new congregation and become a real
factor In the community into which he Is
about to transfer his rabors.
Wading is a fad that has not reached
Omaha, probably because no attractive body
OF water offers the temptation, but Omaha
young people at the summer resorts are in
dulginS in the custom. A good idea of the
sport Is conveyed by the snapshot here
given of a pair of precious children of
Omaha parentage enjoying a watery stroll
along Pewaukee lake.
General Guy ". Henry Is so well known
to Nebraska people. with whom he has been
thrown In contact while stationed at arm,
posts In this section, that they are always
glad to follow his fortunes. The accom-
panying portrait shows how he appears now
In the uniform of his new rank. General
Henry's experience in command of Porto
Rico is bringing him to the front In con
nection with the questions of governmental
reorganization in that new island posses

Fruit Growing and Living at
Home.

Wellborn, Texas, Sept. 10.-As
] have not heard from our little
town lately in The Eagle, thought
| would write few lines.
Fruit was good here. We had
apples that got ripe the first of
June and ! sold them at two for a
nickel or 60 cents a bucket; pears
at 40 cents a bucket. | realized
about four dollars a tree for my
fruit this year. How does this
size up with cotton? Everybody
that live on farms could raise
their own fruit il they would try,
and it would pay them better than
cotton and il would save so much
hard work. If you want to plant
the orchard in something, you can
plan: it in ground peas. If it is
seaso nable, they will make 80
bushels per acre, and YOU can get
from 81 to $3.50 a bushel That
is from $50 to $75 per acre. How
is that to cotton crop?
Let cotton alone and plant such
crops as will pay. Then you see
you can raise two crops "a year on
the same ground-fruit and
groundpeas, or any other crops
that YOU wish. Raise plenty OF
corn and hogs and then you can
ali of the time have something Ia
cat at home. We ought to try "a
raise everything at home that w'
use and not buy everything that
we use. With best wishes FOR Tn,
Eagle, yours truly,
D. 4. Bowling.
