The masquerade given at the
knights of Pythias hall last night by
the base ball club was a brilliant sue
cess. There was a large crowd OF
maskers. and lack OF space prevents
the LIBERAL giving a description OF
the different costumes, but there were
many 1ne ones, some ingenious and
fancy ones, and as usual Il number
which did not disguise the weaters.
There are several people who always
go to masquerades, who could not dis
guise themselves so their friends
would not know them If they had du
entire masquerade stock of goods at
their disposal, but that makes no
difference to them. They always go

BRUTAlATTAcK ON DOCTOR
A Falls City Physician Knocked Down
and Beaten.

When DR.. Kerr reached the fire en-
CINE house on his way from home to
his drug store at Falls City, Neb., EN-
manuel Wittmer, who was lying in
wait for him, stepped out from his
hiding place and knocked him down
and kicked him in the face and was
proceeding to intiict still further pun
ishment, when Burton Reavis, DR..
Scott and others went to Kerr's rescue.
Twice recently Wittmer has assaulted
the doctor on the streets, infiicting no
greater punishment than holding the
doctor and splitting in his long beard.
Kerr was the family physician of the
Wittmer family. Mrs. Wittmer died
In a private asylum at Council Bluffs,
Ia, about a year ago, and her death
seems TO have embittered ,Wittmer
against the doctor. Wittmer is a pron,i-
nent farmer living near town, and
takes every opportunity offered to
heap some indignity on the doctor.

The application OF scientific irriga-
ton methods has recently given a new
development to rice culture In south
western Louisiana, as explained in a
bulletin of the department OF agricul-
ture. Rice requires wet lands. but
on such lands harvesting machinery
cannot be used. The difficulty has been
met by flooding the dry prairie lands
during the growth OF the rice, and
then draining them, by a system OF
pumps, canals and ~levees, when the
crop is nearly ripe. On the drained
LANDS II is possible to use reapers &c
harvest the rice; thus the cheap Labor
employed in foreign rice growing
countries can be met by American ma
chinery.

Nebraska Crop Report.

Corn has grown exceedingly well in
all sections of the state, and the crop
is unusually clean; some fields were
badly washed in the region Of great
est rainfall. The heavy rains OF the
week were very timely, and will prove
of very great benefit to the small grain
crop, especially in the central and
southwestern sections, where consider
able damage had already been done by
the dry weather of the preceding
weeks. In other sections wheat, oats,
and rye are heading well. Harvest OF
these cereals will begin in some south
ern counties in about ten days. Early
potatoes are sufficiently large for use
In many localities, and the crop prom

killed Jim Flood Sunday, was justified
in SO doing. The inquest was short,
but the testimony was clear and cor

house against repeated warnings of
King, and sought to do King and his
family personal injury. 1t was the
verdict of the jury that King acted in
self defense. Although King and his
wife had no chance to confer after the
shooting their description of the affair
agreed. Mrs. King and the children
are stopping at a leading hotel, and
will proceed south in n few days. The

has become more strained than ever.

they are concerned the strike is over,
while the men, backed by the fedora

Lord Roberts, according to a Boer

message to Commandant General Louis
Botha on June 10, suggesting disarma-
ment and co~mplimenting the bravery
of the burghers. 1t was pointed out
that the surrender would be without
dishonor to the burghers and would
prevent such suffering. General Botha
asked for a six days armistice in order
to confer and consider. Lord Roberts
consented to five days. Finally Gen
eral Botha declined TO accept the pro
posal and he stilities were renewed.

says the republican convention wa
called to order T.. 80, and adjourned Mt
3 o'clock. No business was transacted
save the announcement of committees,
Today the convention will renomi-
nate President Mckinley and adopt
the platform. The nomination OF vice
president is likely to go over until
Thursday.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts will
be permanent chairman.
Mckinley and Roosevelt were the
convention idols, and mention of their
names brought tumultuous cheers.
The Nebraska delegation has not Sc
lected national committeeman, but
everything points to the election of
Schneider.
The boom for Roosevelt is less pro-
nounced. New York takes him at his
word and will support Woodruff. The
fight, seemingly, is narrowing down to
Long and Deliver.
Nebraska Is to be accorded the rare
honor of s%econding one of the two
leading vice presidential candidates.
Mr.. Hanna says there will be no STAN.
pede for Roosevelt. Therefore the
Nebraskans think Dolliver will be
nominated and Chairman Gurley, on
the part of lowa's next door neighbor.
will second the nomination. This was
practically decided when the Iowa
delegation approached Gurley and he
gave consent. His speech will be most,
ly i%mpromptu.
X. Il. Schneider will be elected ma
tional committeeman in the Nebraska
caucus tomorrow. He has at least
twelve votes out of delegations six
teen. This was stated on the very best
authority, although none of the dele
gates was inclined to talk.

lied Immediately after the adjourn

journed to meet at the Walton hotel Il

Before the Biological Society In
Washington recently, Mr.. II. w. Olds
presented the results Of his studies Of
bird music. Wonderful as 1t seems, he
said. II is a fact that some OF the birds
use the human musical scale. He
showed by examples how the songs OF
certain birds are Enthusiastically gov
erned by the intervals that compose
our scale. Sometimes bird musicians,
like their human compeers, wander
from the key. He thought that there
was no escape from the conclusion that
birds are subject to Q musical evolu-
ton which parallels our own.
