Novel Procedure for Getting Needed
Harvest Hands il Nebraska.


X 4aS
Owing to the large crops the farm
ers in Nebraska and Kansas have to
use all sorts Of ingenious schemes to
get harvest hands. Enterprise in this
respect lately brought three citizens
OF Waverley within the grasp Of the
law, reports the New York Sum
The three farmers were in the hab-
1t OF lounging about the railroad sta
ton every evening between nine and
ten o'clock. About that time q
freight train came along and stopped
for water. In the Lincoln yards be-
fore starting toward Waverley two
accommodating brakemen always
took great pains to leave one car un-
sealed. Into shis sramps would
jump. " &.sss Il ~ 4 y 49, 1sa,
4 When the train stopped for water
at Waverley the farmers rushed for
the car and seized the lurking
tramps. One of the farmers was q
justice Of the peace. First the
tramps were tempted by Offers OF
good wages to work. In case tho
tramps refused these owertures they
were thrown into the stuffy Jail and
sentenced to few days hard labor:
for yagrancy. The labor Consisted in
shocking wheat for one Of the trio.
The tramps were put to work. I'M
der close surveillance, and, when they
finished their. stint were allowed to
depart in peace with full stomachs
and small sum OF money given to
them by the farmers. ...s i
s. Several of the .neighbors were jeal-
Gus of the three farmers because OF
the success of the tramp scheme and
concluded to compete with the orig
inators for. some of the pauper labor.
One evening q. few days ago the
justice and his two associates found
two neighbors in possession Of q
tramp whom they had discovered in
the freight car. The vagrant averred
that he was from the shady precincts
of Chicago and declared that he would
not degrade himself with farm labor.
The two farmers declared that he
must. ~-. ~~..: 49,
The three late arrivals with the
justice at their head demanded the
tramp. Alexander ,Farwell and Simon
Buskirk, who held the tramp, re-
fused to surrender him. A fight en-
sued. Farwell, it is alleged, struck
the justice. Then a 3ree-for-all fight
followed. Farwell and Buskirk tried
to defend their tramp. The trio Of
farmers were bound to get him. :
In the melee the tramp delivered q
few well-directed !, but impartial
punches at the combatants and made
his escape to . lumber yard n near
by. The justice and his party. dia-
epmftad thasoppoe ision: and then cap:
tured theHtra1np.' He was sentenced
to tenx days for disturbing the peace
and listed for the wheat fields the
next morning. 90
~. Farwell and Buskirk were not die
couraged. They made their way to
the county judge early the next
morning and swore out warrants for
the three farmers, charging them
with assault and battery. The trial
will be held after harvest, and in the
meantime the unfortunate tramp is
the property of the man who can
pounce upon him. .~.

THE AMERICAN MAN.
Something About His Physical Conisa.
!. taon as Compared with Tqhos
.'.#. OF Europeans.

The most important, because the
most: fundamental, of problems con-
corning the quality of the American
man concerns his physical condition
as compared with that of his kindred
beyond the sea: AS to this point the
evidence is SO clear that it needs lit
tie discussion, says the international
Monthly. 1t 10 evident that the
American Indians, q race evidently
on the ground for many thousand
years before the coming of the, Euro
peans, had found the land hospitab bic,
For savages they were remarkably
well developed, and, though untitled
for steady labor, their bodies were
WEI made and enduring. Taking
their place, the north Europeans,
representing a wide range Of local
varieties, English. Irish, Highland
Scotch, Germans, scandinavians, Nor
mans, French and many other groups
of old world peoples, have, since
their implantation 100 years or more
ago, shown that the area Of the con-
tinent from the Rio Grande to the
far north is as suited to our kind as
is any part Of the earth. s,
This is sufficiently proved by the
statistics OF American soldiers gath
cred during the civil war; the Amer
lean white man OF families longest in
this COUNTRY is, on the Y average,
larger than his European kinsman,
the increase being mainly in the size.
of head and chest. It 10 further in
dicated by the endurance Of these
men in the trials OF the soldiers life
and by the remarkable percentage
of recoveries from wounds. This en-.
durance Of wounds was regarded by
the late DR.. Brown-sequard as q fen
ture common to all the mammals Of
this continent, being, as he claimed,
on the basis of an extensive expert
ence, as characteristic of American
rabbits as Of American men. More
over, the statistics OF life-insurance
companies doing business In this
country appear to indicate that the
expectation Of life is greater here;
than in the old world. 5s#5..5

..COLORADO."

Under the comprehensive title
of Colorado" neat booklet has
appeared on our desk with the
compliments of Ben Block, its
author. "Colorado" is recognized
by the state as the only official
document from Colorado to the
Pan American exposition, and
Block, commissioner from Colo
RADIO to the exposition, is authoriz-
ed to distribute for the state l00,-
600 copies free at Buffalo. The
following extract on Petroleum II
is taken from the booklet:
Among the productive industries
of Colorado that have in recent
years been factor in the growth
of the state, petroleum occupies
an important place. 1t is only
within the last fifteen years that
this industry has assumed proper
tions that have attracted attention
Early in the history of the state
petroleum was discovered flowing
on the surface of water from
springs along the banks of -Four
Mile creek, near Florence. An
enterprising pioneer by the name
of A. NJ Cassidy gathered this oil
and by original, if crude, methods,
manufactured illuminating oil
which was transported by wagons
and sold as far away as Denver.
With the advent of the Transcon-
tinental railroads it was no longer
profitable to continue the expen-
$ i've method employed by Cassidy,
and the business languished and
expired. Early in the SOS, while
drilling an artesian well near Flor
ence, petroleum was found, and
this discovery was the real begin
ming of what has grown to be an
important industry There are
evidences of the existence of petro-
leum in many parts of Colorado,
but the Florence district is unique
in its position, that in no other
section of vast region showing
evidence of the existence of petro
leum in many places, is the oil of
such character as to yield illumi-
mating oil in paying quantity
The Florence oil has a parathne
base-all the others have an
asphaltum base The Florence
field has many features that are
interesting from a geological poinl
of view, which cannot be more
than referred to in an article of
this character The geological
structure of the entire area of the
Florence field is identical, at the
same time there is no regularity
either in the depth at which oil is
found, the depth of producing
wells ranging from 1900 to $500
feet, AT present there are about
fifty wells in the Florence field
yielding a daily production of
about 1000 barrels.
There are two modern refineries
at Florence with capacity for re-
fning $500 barrels of crude oil
day The quality of the refined
oil produced from Florence petro-
leum is equal to that from any
other field in the country. Lubri-
eating oils of the heavier grades
are also manufactured and the
residuum is largely used by re-
duction works in the roasting of
metalliferous ores from Cripple
Creek and other mining camps

The House That Jack Built.

1t is altogether probable that
every man, woman aud child in
Florence has read the story of
The House that Jack Built" and
remem bers all the interesting
features connected with that thrill
ing tale But an object lesson is
always more impressive than an
abstract rehearsal of facts, so in
order to get the correct idea of the
house that Jack built, one needs
only to walk out to the corner of
of Third and Robinson and St e
for himself,
At that place is located d. A.
Jacks fine new residence and it is
an ornament to the city. Located
as it is in what will eventually be
the popular residence portion of
the city, and commanding beau
tiful view of old Pixies Peak and
the range to the north, no more
desirable spot for a residence
could be selected
The house is big two story
pressed brick structure, contain
ing twelve large. light and airy
rooms The first floor is finished
in antique oak, and the front win
dows contain EN- Establishments of
stained glass, making very pretty
effect A porch surrounds the
front and east side, the roof of
which is supported by massive pill
lars. The house is trimmed in
cream and green. and the roof is
moss green.
On the ground floor is large
reception hall, parlor, sitting room,
bed room, dining room, kitchen
and pantry. The second floor has
five bedrooms, magnificent bath
room and numerous closets The
bath room is fitted with all the
modern, sanitary appliances.
A hot air furnace is being in
stalled by George Wilson, and the
entire house will be heated from
it, The furnace is the same as
that used in the Presbyterian
church which has given perfect
satisfaction.

Cleveland Will be the Attraction

The passenger department of the
Rock Island railway announces
the lowest rates to Cleveland on
account of the G. A. r. Eucamp-
ment, September 7 to IL, that
have been accorded the old SOL
diers since 1887. The rate is less
than one fare for the round trip.
Tickets will be on sale from sta
tions west of the Missouri river,
September 7 to 10, inclusive, and
will be good to return up to and
including September 10, but the
return limit may be extended until
October s by depositing the tickets
with a joint agent before Septem.
ber 10 and paying a fee of so
cents.
The trip to Cleveland will be
one of much pleasure and enjoy
ment. The extremely low rate
made by tho Rock Island will
make it possible for large mum
bers of the old soldiers and their
friends to go at very small ex.
pense. From Cleveland there will
be cheap rates in effects, enabling
