Our Race For Money,

IF it is not true that we Americans

which life was given to US. why. when

Cling to make more millions and more"
writes IAN American Mother in The
Ladies' Home Journal 1T is not so
with the older races. The London
tradesman at middle age shuts his
shop, buys an acre in the suburbs and
lives on a small income or spends the
rest of his life in losing it in poultry
or fancy gardening The German or
Frenchman seldom works when past
60. He gives his last years to some
study or hobby-music, microscope,
or it may be dominos. You meet him

death. He had been slowly recover
ing from pneumonia that for three
weeks had threatened his life. At 8
a. N. yesterday his heart gave way
under the strain of his recent illness,
his pulse running up to 103. That
was the beginning of the end. Ar
mour was surrounded by his family
when he died, and he retained con-
seriousness until within an hour of his
death.
So carefully had the plans for the
future been made that the death of
Armour will have little effect on the
outward working Of the great enter
prise with which he had been so close
ly identified. 1t is believed all the Ar
mour properties will be held intact
until the grandchildren come into
their own. Estimates of his own es-
tate run from $25OOO,OOO to $5O,OOO,-
900. This of course does not include
the $15,O0O,00O or $2O.0OO.OOO owned
by the younger members of his family
For years every enterprise he was in
terested in has been making immense
profits. His holdings of stock have
all advanced largely during the last
three years.

the Omaha police department, in which
an offer is made to deliver certain
information to him regarding the alb
ductors OF Edward Cudahy, Jr, upon
his compliance with certain condi-

IDENTITY considered the letter authentic
and OF enough Importance to justify
reply, because the following adver

local paper yesterday morning:
Your request, asked for in letter

Both Cudahy and Chief Donahue
declined to say what the contents of
the Lincoln letter were or to refer to
the conditions prescribed therein. 1t
is stated that the letter is from man
who knows every member of the gang
which kidnapped Eddie Cudahy on Dec.

A Blessing.

DR.. Conan Doyle tells this story Of a
Boer and an English soldier who lay
wounded side by side on the field Of
battle: "They had personal encoun-
ter. in which the soldier received a bull
let wound and the burgher a bayonet
thrust before they both fell exhausted
on the field. The Britisher gave the
Boer a drink out of his flask. and the
burgher, not to be outdone in courtesy,
handed a piece of biltong in exchange.
In the evening. when their respective
ambulances came to carry them off to
the hospital. they exchanged friendly
greetings. 'Goodby. mate. said the
soldier. What blessing it is we met
each other!"

of every man rushing for his own life.

the fall was broken by wires and his
only injuries are slightly cut hands.
He was taken to the city hospital.

When to Dig Potatoes !.

James Fergus, the sage of Fergus
county, told the writer 20 years ago
that the 18th of September was the
proper time to dig potatoes. We have
taken observations since that date and
find that he was correct. We would
therefore urge our farmer friends to
be on the lookout and get this work
done in time. We do not remember
cf but one season of serious freeze
occurring before that date, and that
was last year. Frequently we have
known potatoes to lay in the ground
with perfect safety as late as the 10th
and 15thof October, but we do not
consider it safe after September 2s,
for we have known heavy SHOWS and
severe freezes as early as October 6,
| Let farmers therefore bear it in mind
to dig their potatoes in time.-Hus'

Pretty nearly all the hair prepars-

in allaying itching Of the scalp, and
in being fairly good hair dressing
for the hair; but there is only one
that recognizes what causes dandruff,
falling hair and badness, and that
destroys the cause, little germ-and
that is Newbro's Herpicide. This germ
eats its way into the scalp down to
the hair root, where it saps the vital
ity, causing dahdruff as it digs up the
scalp in little white scales Unless it
is destroyed there is no permanent
