Rain has made a record in the central

awakened memories Of long forgotten fresh

how the river cavorted in the fall of '63,

June %, 1876. General George A. Custer
and one battalion of the Seventh cavalry,
u. s.. A., were annihilated in a battle with
Sioux Indians on the Little Big Horn river
in Wyoming, near where Sheridan is now
located. The Omaha Bee was the first
newspaper to give the world an account Of
that terrible affair. Since the news
trickled through by courier from the then
faraway scene Of the slaughter many tales
have been told Of the affair, Of its origin,
progress and result. Only one thing is abb
s~olutely certain: Whatever object Custer
had in turning of Reno's trail and com
mencing a detour to the right will never
be known, for Custer and all who went into
the fight with him are dead. Now the
Custer battlefield is reached by railroad,
and communication with the wilderness of
that day is by the swiftest means known
to civilization. Along with this develop
ment has come up a crop Of long-haired
fakirs throughout the west who claim to
be "the sole survivor of the Custer mas
sacre." No accurate census Of these I'M

long be a theme fer talk and story in this
country. On July 4 at Sheridan a grand
cowboy festival was held, and one feature
of 1t was a reproduction of the Custer
fight, under conditions very similar. In
dams, cowboys and frontiersmen mingled
in the mimic warfare and gave a large
number Of visitors a most vivid idea Of
what actually took place on that dreadful
day in the year of an hundred years."

Jupiter Pluvius has frowned on picnics
around Omaha with uncommon severity this
year, and has either drowned them out be-
fore they got started or very soon after
they we're under Roadway. One of the few
that escaped was that of the Omaha and
Council Bluffs Elks, and they had an ideal
day for an outing. 1t may also be accepted
as a fact that they had an ideal outing.
All manner of picnic games and sports were
INDUCED in, and the affair wound up with
an al fresco banquet, at which the Elks and
their guests sat for some hours, enjoying
life as only a well contented wearer Of the
antlers can.

lEORGE w. NORRIS, republican
candidate for congress from the
- Fifth Nebraska district, has him
- self to thank for whatever Of
- SUCCESS or distinction he may
have achieved in life. And he certainly has
a claim to both, for Il is both successful
and distinguishing for a republican to be
twice elected to the office of district Judge
in a section Of the state where the opposi-
tion usually has things its own way.
Judge Norris has Just turned Al, having
been born in Sandusky county, Ohio. in
July, 1861. Here he grew up, lis boy
hood being a hard one because of the
death Of his father when he was quite
young. He worked as a farm hand during
the summer and attended school during
the winter months, until he fitted himself
to teach. Later he attended a normal school
at Valparaiso, Ind. and Baldwin univer-
sity at Berea, o. During his time as a
teacher he was studying law. ond after
leaving the university he went into a law
yer's office for a season and then to a
law school. In 1888 he was admitted to
the bar. but had no money to start with.
Two more years Of teaching gave him
funds to purchase a library and begin his
practice. In 1885 he opened n law office
at McCook and continued the pursuit OF
his profession for ten years. when he was
elected district Judge. In 1899 he was re-
elected, and is still on the bench. Person
ally, Judge Norris is described as one OF
the most popular of msn, his popularity
being due to his well recognized ability

While at Oyster Bay Mrs. Roosevelt re-
ceived a letter from the publisher Of a
rather sensational periodical inclosing a
check for $500 and asking her to write a
brief article for his next issue upon the

children, the experience Of a mistress of
the White House, or any other subject
she might find more "congenial," the
'honorarium" therefor being enclosed. The
letter and check were returned without
