The cows on many farms would be
considered first-class producers II each
cows product amounted to 200 pounds
of butter per year, yet ii is claimed by
some of the best dairymen that 200
pounds of butter per year from a COW
does not pay. Those who aim to make
the most butter from their herds have
the standard up to 300 pounds per year.
and some fix the limit higher. Every
farmer can have the individual mem
bers of his herd reach that amount by
breeding for better COWS every year

SMALL FARM ICE HOUSE.
Can lie Erected for Twenty-Five
Dollars or Less.

In constructing an ice house it
should be remembered that the smaller
the house the greater the care TO be
exercised in erecting the building and
packing the ice. A house II feet square
and to 10 feet high is a very conven-
lent size for an ordinary farm. In
building, care should be taken TO Sc
cure perfect drainage. The founda-
tion should be dug is TO "a inches, or
until gravel is reached. Where this
is not possible, the lower 2 feet should
be filed in with large stones, on top
of which are placed smaller stones

An Old Settler.

We had the pleasure of NEE
ting in our office yesterday, our
old friend Samuel Pursell, of
Benson, Nebraska, who is just
making arrangements to move
back to Woodbine in this county.
Mr.. Purcell came to this county
in 1855, and for many years liv-
ed on a farm, one of the best in
the county, owned by him for
many years. Some years since
he sold his Harrison county land
and moved to Nebraska, and
now, in his old age, he has wise
ly concluded to return to the
home of his younger years to
spend his remnant of days with
friends who will remember him
as one of the most accomplished
fiddlers, of the old school, in the
west, and today he can draw a
fine bow and make merry asof
old. We welcome our old friend
back to Harrison County, and
may his coming years be pleas
ant, and all his days beprosper-
GUS and happy is our wish.

Box Social.

The box social given by the Relief Corps at
the u A Il hall last evening was grand success
in every respect. About one hundred were
present. The program rendered in the early
part of the evening was one of un usual interest.
Addresses were given by Gen John Lint Cen
eral Commandant of the q A II of Iowa and l.
B Cousins. Inspector General, upon matters
pertaining to the Relief Corps. A sextctte un-
der charge of Mrs Green rendered THE New
Hail Columbia" Boys of the Old Brigade" and
The Voysgers' in a vely acceptable manner
and received hearty applause. Mrs + Norris
and Col W o Newton gave rccitations of a pat
riotic tone which wer, among the most pleasing
features of the evening Then followed the
sale of the boxes and fun began in earnest. TIL,
boxes were of all siz.s aud conditions some
were most deliberately decorated and others de-
pended upon the excellence of their contents
General Horace N Warren acted in the capacity
of auctioneer. Some of the boxes must have
proved irresistible to the artistic eyes of the
veterans as several sold for above two dollars
Each gentleman took the lady to supper whose
name was found in thu box he purchased. Hot
office was served by comm ittec of Corps
ladies. The contents of the boxes were declared
to bc excellent aud bountiful and everyone felt
that he got the worth of his money.

Recalls by gone Days.

In the locals of twenty years
ago published in the Fremont
Herald, this week, are two To-
calls that recall the early days of
rail reading on the Elkhorn sys-
tenn. The two locals follow:
"Alex Finlayson, a locomotive
engineer on the Sioux City &
Pacific railroad, was the other
day awarded in the district court
at Blair, S9,25O damages for in
juries sustained by the explo-
sion of the boiler of his engine,
about a year ago. 1t was shown
that he had reported the bad
condition of the machine to the
superintendent of repairs, and
the company had failed to fur
nlsh another engine, compelling
him to use the old one"
Engineer Kirkoff, of the S.
G. & p, pulled the special train
that took Phil Sheridan to Fort
Niobrara last week, and made
the run from Missouri Valley
to Thatcher, $40 miles, in ten
hours"

AT Rest in unnamed Grave.
Authorities unable to establish
identity Of STRANGER who died
mere Thursday night.

t. ]. Hennessy, Coroner of
Harrison County, has exhausted
every medium in his power to
establish the identity of the man
who died in an Elkhorn passen-
ger coach in this city Thursday
evening but to no avail.
Accepting the only clue they
had, that of the name and adj
dress found an a slip of paper
in the mans pocket, the author
tiles yesterday telegraphed the
Peoria Chief of Police, reciting
the details of the mans death
and also, that the name Louis
Creagor, 1902, Garden street,
Peoria, Ill.,, was found among
the effects of the deceased. On
yesterday evening the Peoria
police telegraphed Coroner Hen
Messy to the effect that Louis
Creagor, living at the address
named, is alive and we'll. This
destroyed the only clue on which
the authorities here could base
their work of discovery, and ac-
cordingly the prospect of ever
establishing his identity are We
ry remote. A letter was address
ed to the Peoria man today ask
ling him to give all the informa-
ton possible regarding the dead
man. This afternoon at 20 clock
the remains We're removed from
the Foss' undertaking estab-
lishment and given proper bu-
rial in Rose Hill Cemetery, Rev
John Williams, of the Church,

The Iowa men on this program
represent m re new talent than
has been true of any program in
recent years. 1t is hoped that the
teachers of Iowa will generally
see fit to take advantage of the
opportunities Of hearing an e1-

The management of the local
theatre will offer us next Tues

great success "The Eleventh
Hour" a comedy drama in five
acts, dealing with types of
characters that we come in con-
tact with in every day life. The
first act is an old mill in De
Kalb county, Illinois, and is
said to be very realistic. The
third act is a block house tower
on the Chicago & Northwestern
Ry. Few people travelling UNI
derstand this all important part
of railroading. From this
tower the lives of hundreds of
people depend. The fourth act
shows one of Chicago's famous
resorts. The Bismark Gardens.
The last act is said to be an ex-
act reproduction Of one of Chi
cago's millionaire's homes.
This is said to be the grandest
stage setting that has ever been
presented by a travelling organi-
cation. The company repre-
senting this play is far above
the average.
