POULTRY SHOW is A SUCCESS
Good and Fine Lot of
Fowls mt Initial Exhibit
at Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Neb., Dec. 4-(spccial)-
The first poultry show given under the
auspices of the Columbus Poultry and Pet
Stock club is now being held in this city
and is very largely attended by fanciers,
both of this county and from over the
state.
The club came into existence less than
three months ago. with the following on
GERS, all of this city: c. C. Gray, president;
L. G. Zinnecker. vice president; ". J. Ker-
senbrock, secretary, and f. C. Worden,
treasurer. Mr.. Worden was for a number
of years connected with a similar associa-
tion in Nemaha county and has also served
as a Judge in a state exhibit, and he was
made superintendent of the exhibit. Will
liam Mitchell, a local fancier Of large sue
cess, will do the judging.
The exhibit contains a much larger va
riety of fowls than was hoped for at the first
show, a fact which shows that thorough
bred poultry is becoming popular with Ne
braska chicken ~raisers. Tomorrow is the
closing day OF the exhibit, when the awards
will be made.

DOG BRINGS IN WoMAN'S HAND
omcers nab to Ascertain from
whence the Gruesome Find
Came.

KEARNEY. Neb., Dec. 4.-(special Tele-
gram.)-A telephone message was received
at the city hall about noon today to the
effect that a dog had brought to the section
house in the eastern part of the city a
woman's hand. Oficer Gibson and Sheriff
Sammons. who CHANGED to be present, went
to the place at once and brought the mem
Der in. They were unable to find out where
the dog had obtained the gruesome object.
The hand is that of a woman and had been
amputated about two inches above the wrist
Joint. Around the wrist is fastened a string
by which the member had evidently been
suspended in a jaf Of alcohol or other liquid
for preservation, and from which the indi-
cations are 1t was but recently removed.
Coroner Switz took charge OF the hand and
will endeavor to ascertain from whence it
came.

FORGE SUGAR COMPANY CHECKS
Men who Turn the Trick Get Their
Money and Escape before
Forgery is Detected.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb, Dec. A.-(Special)
Seven most cleverly forged checks have
Just been discovered among the returned
checks at the office Of the American Beet
Sugar company in this city. 1t is plain that
some person or persons, early in Novem-
Der, swindled someone out of 5000 in one Of
the smoothest attempts OF the kline ever
witnessed here.
The bookkeepers at the factory discov
cred 1t. They checked back the checks
that had been paid and found that some
numbers we're wrong. The numbers OF the
checks did not correspond with the numbers
on the stubs and then it was that the dis
covery that someone had forged the com
pany's checks was first made.
The seven checks were returned to the
office of the sugar company by the First
National bank. Some of them had been
taken directly to the Grand Island Banking
company by the forgers and others were
cashed by business men. By the Grand
Island Banking company they were taken
to the First National, cashed and charged
against the company. All Of them were
cashed about November s to 10, since which
time no spurious checks have come in.
The paper Is OF the same shade of ~opaline,
OF the same generalstexture the signatures
OF Mr.. Ferrar and of Mr.. Nicholson were
both most carefully initiated; the printed
form was generally the same. and appears
to have been taken from an electrotype
made after the original Autographed form,
the same general form and style of letter
ing was used on the printed forgery, and in
all the work was so ~cleverly done that It
might have even passed through the books
OF the American Beet Sugar company had
it not been for the counterchecks that it
necessarily had to meet there as to the
number of corresponding Stubs, amount Of
corresponding stubs, etc.
The fact that all seven are for $3l or $32
Is explained by those interested as evil
dencing a desire to represent them as
checks paid for labor. as the factory pays
its labor twice a month and the amounts
are about what the ordinary unskilled la
borer receives.
There is no clue whatever to the guilty
parties.

CATTLEMEN ARE DISAPPOINTED
Desire n Congressional Investigation
of the Fencing of Public
Domain.

CHADRON, Neb., Dec. 4-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Cattlemen are much disappointed
over the positive stand taken regarding the
removal OF fences in the presidents mes
sage. Members of the delegation who Wis
tied the president and secretary of the in
terror in May understood from their inter
view that the matter would be held in
allegiance until congress could investigate
and pass a measure that would be satisfac-
tory to all concerned. They allege that no
attempt was ever made to prevent bona
hde homesteaders from filing on govern
ment land. They are watching the outcome
with intense interest, and yet have hopes
that the fences will not be disturbed until
a thorough investigation is had by con-
gress. They feel keenly Colonel Mosby's
reflections and assert that a thorough iu-
vcstigation of their filing soldiers and
widows claims will exonerate them.

Postmaster Ross l.. Hammond has written
the following letter Of resignation to the
postmaster general asking to be relieved
January L:
FREMONT. Neb.. Dec. S-Hon. H.. c..
Payne, General, Washington,
ID c.: Dear Sir-I hereby tender my resig-
nation as postmaster at Fremont, Neb. |
desire that the resignation be promptly ac-
cepted, In order that l may relinquish the
Office on January l next.
l beg to state that during the FIVE years
of my "incumbency of the Office IL has stead
lily held its place as fourth in the state in
the order of Importance. The volume of
business, as shown by the receipts, has in
creased about so per cent and Is still grow
ing at a gratifying rate. l have endeav-
ored to maintain, and have, | think, i'm some
measure succeeded, the high character Of
the service. An extension of the free de-
livery by an Increase OF carriers for city
and country from four 20 ten has been
productive of good results and proved most
gratifying to patrons OF the office. This
and other improvements from time to time
have made 1t possible to give a flrst-class
service.
desire through you to thank the de-
partner for its prompt response to every
request MADE by me for the betterment Of
the work. My relations with every official
have been pleasant and cordial. While |
have reason to regret leaving the service,
my private business has grown to such
proportions that l cannot in justice to 1t
and myself longer continue in office. With
assurance of my high regard, | am sin
cerely yours, o l.. HAMMOND.
The resignation is made pursuant to the
understanding at the time he was re-
appointed that he would resign on or be-
fore January l, 1903, and that ex-Repre-
sentative Dan Swanson would be his sue
cessor, and it is expected that Swanson's
appointment will be sent to the senate
very soon. All Of the employees Of the
Office, except the deputy postmaster, are
under civil service, so there will be but
| one change in the office force.

What Causes Fous.

Fogs are, generally speaking,
caused by the precipitation Of the
moisture of the atmosphere. They
are formed when a warm stratum
of atmosphere comes in contact with
a cold stratum or with a portion of
the earth's surface, as a hill, by
which it is cooled so that it can no
longer hold as much moisture in So
luton as before. This causes the
frequent fogs in mountain regions.
When a cold stratum of air comes
over a moist, warm part of the
earth's surface, fog is also formed.
This is the cause Of the mists that
appear over lakes, rivers and marsh
es in the evening, since the water is
then warmer than the atmosphere
above it. The blackness and density
Of London fogs are caused by the
simple fact that the mist formed in
the upper air mingles with the as
cending clouds of smoke from hun
dreds of thousands Of chimneys and,
descending, brings the smoke with it
and settles like a pail above tho
buildings and in the streets of the
citv

Character In Umbrellas.

Ones character is said to be re-
vealed with infalible accuracy by
the way he holds and carries an UNI
brella. One enthusiast, who has
made study of the public's umbrel-
la manners, has announced that he
would want no better guide in choos-
ing his wife than to watch her furl
and carry her umbrella.
The man who pokes you in the
ribs with his umbrella, for instance,
does not alone announce by such an
act that he is rude or careless. To
the experienced eye he actually lays
bare the innermost secrets of his
character.
The man or woman who carries
an umbrella with the point back
ward and downward is unassertive.
On the other hand, persons who in
walking carry their umbrellas by
the handles, with the points contin-
ually extended or pointing forward,
will be found self assertive and en-
ergetic. The pedestrian who grabs
an umbrella in the middle and goes
forging ahead with it in this posi-
ton is likely to be found alert, but
of selfish, even conceited DISPOSE
tion.
