Autumn IN Nebraska

There's CLINT OF gold and purple
Through the Indian summer haze.
And softened shade Of color
Meath the slantIng MONDAY rays;
Color scheme that's ever changing,
Glinting, cleaning over all.
Making charming every section
OF Nebraska in the fall.
yellow corntields CLEAN and gl'sien
As their waving, rustiing blades
Watt a melody inspiring
Through the ever changing shade;
And the dreamy wood doves coOing
From the tree tops brown and tall
Sound eDticing invitation
To Nebraska IN the Fall.
Blown across the purple heather;
Blown from garnered fields Of grain
Blown from orchards heavy laden,
Comes the swelling, sweet refrain.
Master hand has laid the colors,
Master singer sounds the call =
Song ard color sounding shining,
Ger Nebraska 10 the Fall.
Over hill and over valley
Balmy breeZ-s ever blow,
Waving golden corn blades gently,
Yet in rythm, t. and fro.
Search the world for scenes of splendor
But you'll find that after all
Nausht you' II see will ever equal

enlist several hundred young men who, it
is proposed to train for five or ten months
on board of training-ships. With this
object the Hartford has been COM
missioned at San Francisco, and with $50
young men will come around Cape Horn
to the Atlantic. The Worcestershire will
make a similar cruise from New York to
the West Indies and the steamer Dixie
will take on 400 men from the League
Island ward for the same purpose. 1t is
calculated in this way to provide for the
needs of the service for the next two or
three years.
The report calls attention to the failure
of the personnel bill as amended to pro-

the navy. 1t IS said that there are not
nearly enough officers available to train

Annapolis been reduced from six to four

conclusion. that the naval pay should be

wounded Edna Howard and then fired a
bullet into his own brain. He died in
stantly The shooting took place in a
lodging-house kept by a Mrs. Cunning

on her part.
Hubbard has wife and four children in
Cotton, but he frequently visited this city
and consorted with the Howard woman.
He came here about a week ago and has

her in the right shoulder blade, infiicting
a serious wound. He then ended his own
