Benson is an unmarried man, of a sensitive
disposition and has a very fine education
having studied for the medical profession
in Sweden, where his family is an aristo-
cratic one. A day or two before Benson
sold his farm he was attacked so he claims
by two neghbors, Levi and Curtis Jackson
for whom he has sworn out warrants, charS-
ing them with assault with intent to Go
great bodily injury. Benson claims that
on the day of the attack he was driving
from his house to a nearby field when the
two Jacksons rode up and clambered into
the wagon where they assaulted him, using
the butt end of a revolver to pound hm
and afterward kicking him with their boots.
Benson AYERS that he made no resistance,
as he bad no means of defending himself
and, being a man of small stature, he was
no match for his assailants. Benson sus-
tained several painful bruises as a result of
t. assault, the worst of which was the
il laCture of two of his ribs

HARVARD, Neb May 13.-(Special)
Thursday night at ~ o'clock the
fire department was called out to
extnguish a fire that had started in
a small residence property in the north part
of town. Most of the household goods were
removed, but the building was badly dam
aged. The building was insured for an
amount sufficient to cover the loss.
Carpenters, paper hangers, painters and
general laborers are having all the work
they can do and more could find employ
ment.
Winter wheat and small grain are needing
rain badly. Considerable wheat ground is
being planted to corn and unless rain comes
soon more ground than at first thought
necessary will have to be planted. Spring
sown grain is also wanting rain as each
windy day, OF which we have had several
each week this spring, does great damage.
AT the commencement exercises Of the
public school there will be graduating class
of fifteen, the largest ever graduated at one
time.

BAD STORM IN CUNNING COUNTY
No Lives Lost, but n Large Amount of
Damage Done to Farm
Buildings.

WEST POINT, Neb., May 13.-(Special.) y
Sunday the eastern part of Neigh township
was visited by one of the severest storms
that ever struck that section of the cOun-
try. Buildings were scattered in every direc-
tion and it seems almost like a miracle that
no human lives were lost. On the farm of
Ernest Raabe, occupied by II. w. Brummond,
the barn was blown to pieces, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Brummond were in it, yet they escaped
without injury. The following is some of the
damage done Gust Zuhlke, granary and corn
cribs destroyed and barn blown about thirty
feet off the foundation; Ernest Raabe, barn
blown down and other buildings badly dam
aged; Fred Zuhlke had all his outbuldings
destroyed, including a large barn; j. f.
Gatzmeyer had his barn all twisted out of
shape; Ludwig Rosenthal had a barn blown
to pieces; A. r. Zuhlke had his windmill
blown down and several small sheds de-
stroyed and Joseph GatZmeyer had his wind
mill blown down.

The weather has been very dry recently,

SHELTON, Neb., May 13.-(special,) "A
nice rain began falling at o'clock this
morning and continued all forenoon. AS this
is the first rain for ten days the ground had
become quite dry on top. Small grain looks
we'll but pastures needed rain badly. Corn
Is about half planted. Alfalfa is six inches
high and this rain will complete the first
crop OF this for hay.

FREMONT, Neb., May 13.-(Special.)--
The Board of Supervisors of Dodge county
has been in session here for three days this
week. Two new roads have been ordered
built, one in the northeastern part of the
county and one in the southeast, along the
line between Dodge and Douglas counties,
provided that Douglas county bears half Of
the expense OF building the latter, including
bridges and culverts, The $4,000 OF FTe-
mont precinct bonds, bearing per cent,
were refunded at per cent, the purchasers
paying a premium Of s571 and for the
revenue stamps, thus saving the taxpayers
81 800 a year.
The most important action taken by the
board was on the construction Of drainage
ditch across the Platte bottoms north and
west of Ames to carry off surface water to
the Platte river. The residents Of the west
ern part of the county were opposed to this
ditch and made strong fight against It, The
proposition carried, however, by vote OF 4
to and the ditch will be dug this season.
1t will be of much benefit to the land used
for beet raising west of the city. 1t is pos
sible that the opponents of the ditch may
take the case into the courts

WOMEN cF THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeeming Feature Is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.

Their Redeeming Feature is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.
 The aristocratte Philippine matren and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help it, than that required for driving or shopping. But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever It may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungainiy carabao (water- -buffalo) in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole g. huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And I take pleas ure in saying that, whatever its pro- Drietor's rank or station, the native Shlllppine nipa hut Is invariably a marvel of neatness and cleanliness as 10 its interior; far superior in this re- speet to the average dwelling house, De It that of a merchants clerk or that or the governor-general So far as the latter are concerned a decent servant girl, such as are employed in America ana England, would not be content to remain In one two days. Hundreds of girls are employed in the great cigar factories, and others in the convents labor to weave the far-famed pima lace or the Philippines, several at time squatting on the floor around a single frame, picking and manipulating with Geft ringers the infinitesimally delicate nDers Sometimes they work for months to complete single mantilla or handkerchief These native women are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except In the capacity of ladys maid or cnn- dren's nurse, and even these posiC.ons are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, rem ders it an almost hopeless and very ex- asperat1ng task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of im- porting a Chinese anna from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust her children to the care of a native girl; although when in her own ca- pacity as a mother, the Filipina, so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be Woman's Home Compan- ion.
