Great Sachrm Il. Frank Kenncrly. of
Salisbury, Said:-
The Improved Order Red Men. the
name of the organization which we here
represent. was taken from that celebrated
Indian character who was found to in
habit this country when Columbus dis
covered America In 1892.
This copper colored race of people ut
that time. held undisputed possessions.
The lands were divided among the diff
fercnt nations and sub-diyidcd among the
different tribes and settlements, and all
of their wealth and stock belonged to the
tribes in Common. That is the property
of each individual was free for the use
of any member of his particular tribe.
The condition of these people have
changed very much since that time, as
well as the situation and conditions Of
our country. At that early date the only
thoroughfarc was the father of the Red
Man, which word is way around and over
the hill of this uneXplored country.
There has been great deal said about
this race of people as being sly and
treachcrouS. And | want to tell you there
were many causes for their savage acts.
These people were deceived by the white
man and unjustly robbed of their rights.
Their homes were taken from them,
without a fair compensation. They were
driven westward to other fields, only to
remain until their possessions We're again
required of them. and so on until they
were made to understand that there was
no country which they could hold and call
their own.
| am sure there is not a one OF us here,
who, if we was to receive such treatment,
but what we would have burning hat
red against such enemy. And yet this
race of Indians according to our early
writer's and travellers who had an oppor-
tunty to study their characteristics, have
said of them, that they were brave and

GRATEFUL OFFERING.

We acknowledge with thanks the
receipt of globe from Russia.
That is as near as we can come to
hitting our unknown friend. Hidden
somewhere among the unholy looking
hieroglyphics OH the thing are no
doubt his name and address; but it is
beyond us to screw them out Of the
mess He may be calling US an
Inktum, and we are none the wiser
or worse off. The globe is very
pretty. It is made of paper, and will
fold fiat or expand into globe and
besides the geography it seems to
contain Russian calendar, such as
you have heard about, and then it
runs off into the most murderous
looking gibberish, with the letters
all wrong side up and inside out
We will venture to say that the
Russian authorities would not allow
any such suspicious document to
enter their sacred domains through
the mails. We are gratified to OBJ
serve that the Russians agree with
us as to the general distribution of
land and water on the globe, but we
have our opinion of any nation that
spells America AMEPNKA, with
the N written backwards at that.

suggests narrowing after spreading,
to fine it. The reports Of beneficial
results from plowing under manure
come largely from the eastern portion
Of the state, but the use of fine
manure applied as top dressing has
proven beneficial in all parts.

was SOWn W1CnOuG CnaC OF any OCner
crop. The use OF the nurse crop was
largely confined to extreme eastern
Nebraska and the irrigated land of
the west. Many persons who used
nurse crop say that they would not
do so again. 1t has been recommend
ed to use a light seeding Of small
grain, sown earlier or with the al
falfa, to prevent damage by severe
winds. When sown in this way the
nurse crop is mown when eight or ten
inches high, to prevent it smothering
the alfalfa.
In 55 cases the seed was put in
with drill, and in 447 cases it was
sown broadcast. This is at least an
indication that if drill is not avail
able satisfactory stand can be OBJ
tanned by broadcasting and narrowing
in, provided the other conditions are
favorable.
There were 1873 reports of less than
twenty pounds Of seed per acre be-
ing used, and 1856 reports of twenty
pounds or more being sown. The
evidence seems to be in favor of the
use of at least twenty pounds of
seed per acre.
OF the persons replying to the in
quiries, 221 have stands of alfalfa
that yield more than four tons of
cured hay per acre each season, while
157 do not get as much as four tons
of hay per acre.
Of persons having practiced disking
alfalfa in the spring or at other
times. 1873 report that beneficial re-
suits have been obtained, while seven
report that disking has been ineffec-
tive or injurious. By disking alfalfa
is meant going over it in the spring
with disk harrow before growth
starts, or during summer Immediately
after cutting for hay. 1t is custom
ary to set the disks at slight angle.
This cuts the crown root and stirs
the soil. Some of the correspondents
prefer narrowing to disking. Where
positive objection was made to disk
ing, it was based on the claim that
it caused the crowns to become dis
eased. The great bulk of the evil
dence was, however, in favor of disk
ing.
OF the persons who have manured
alfalfa, either by plowing in the
manure Immediately before seeding
or by spreading it on the field after a
stand had been obtained, 10 OBJ
tained beneficial results, and 13
found it to be ineffective or injuri-
Gus. Objections are based on the
claim that plowing in manure causes
the soil to dry out, but objections to
spreading manure on alfalfa are

MORAL TRICKS.

How far is man responsible for
what he supposes other people will sup
pose he means by what he says? This
starts out like conundrum, or like the
solemn oath of the Tall Cedars of Le-
banon. But really, is man less blame
worthy for letting another deceive him
self than for misleading him directly?
A business man wrote to correspon.
dent, in regard to young man for
whom he wanted to get a situation, she
is the average in ability and ZEAL"
The recipient noticed the queer reading
of this sentence and said to himself, she
has left out word. He meant to say
above the average. His typewriter
dropped the above" That was what
the writer had intended him to think
Yet his statement was literally correct.
The young man was only of average
ability--not bit above it-and that is
faint praise.
Now did he Intentionally deceive his
friend?
Mr.. Bryan's experience in barn
will probably be regarded as valu-
able training if he accepts nomina-
tion for governor. He will make a
great impression upon the rural
voters by going around with hay in
his hair, and a series of photographs
showing him asleep in the NOW.

CORY of crimes is charged against c. c.
Humber. former postmaster at Fountain,
declares the Watonga Dispatch. His 10
year-old daughter recently brought a
charge of incest against him, and now
both the father and gi1l are missing.
The daughter made the charge some
thing over week ago. When the
father heard OF 1t he told that his daugh-
ter had accused an older brother. Trouble
followed between the son and father.
Upon being questioned the daughter ex-
onerated the son and accused the father
A few days after Humber hitched his
mule team to his wagon. and, in COM
pany with his daughter, started north
On the ay he topped at the home
of his married daughter and told her
that he was going to Kansas after a load
of apples. In a few days he returneu,
having neither the daughter nor the
apples. He told his daughter and the
family that he had left the girl with her
grandparents in Missouri.
The father remained at home but one
day. He gathered together all the money
he could and left with his team and
wagon. The family became suspicious
that something was wrong ard tele-
graphed TO Missouri to learn the girls
wherea bouts. Word was sent back that
neither the father nor daughter had been
there.
! search was begun at once for both
the girl and Humber. No clue has been
found as to the whereabouts Of either.
A meeting was held at Fountain last
night and an organized search was in
stituted. 1t is feared that there has been
foul play Should Humber be Sound, he
will be compelled to tell Of the where
abouts of the girl. If he refuses, or
should it develop that the girl has been
murdered, Numbers life viii be in dan
ger. The people are greatly stirred and
a lynching would not be surprising.

Donahue it seems, learned of the trou-
