Jack Cadc,s Monument

AT Icathtield, in England, is a farm
on which still stand the remains Of
an old stone house that is said once to
have been the home of the notorious
Jack Cade. Whether or not Cade ever
lived there can never be accurately de-
termincd, but there is no disputing the
fact that he was killed in that neigh
borlood. On the main road, not far from
the ruins of the house, stands mon
ument with this inscription: Near this
spot was Slain the notorious rebel Jack
Cadc by Alexander Iden, ESQ.,, sheriff
of Kent, A. ID. 1850 Ills body was
carried to London and his head fixed
upon London bridge. This is the sue
cess of all rebels, and this fortune

Crop Bulletin.

For week ending April ID,
1908. Des Moines, Iowa. In
respect to temperature and
vegetation the spring is earlier
than usual. At the central sta
ton there has been an average
daily excess of six degrees in
the temperature since March
LIST, and conditions have been
about the same throughout the
state. The rainfall has been
generally below normal; but
the great excess of moisture in
the soil prevented field work in
March, and a considerable area
of low and undrained land is
still too wet for blowing or
seeding. On rolling and we'll
drained land seeding operations
were begun about the LIST of
April, and the work is now we'll
advanced. The reports indicate
a decreased acreage of spring
wheat and a larger acreage of
oats and barley than last year.
Flowing for corn is in progress,
and if conditions are favorable
the acreage of that crop will be
large.
Grass has made an unusually
early start and stock will soon
be on pasture. Fruit buds APP
! pear to be in fair condition.
Stock wintered we'll, and the
lspring pig crop is promising.

Editorial Notes.

The members of the Missouri
Legislature are before the grand
jury on a charge Of bribery. 1t
seems to be getting to be an
impossible thing, these days, to
hold session of the legislature
without impanelling a special
grand jury after the members
get home.
A million dollar fire occurred
at Spindle Top, Texas oil wells

A verdict of $4,000 damage
was rendered against the City
of South Omaha this week, in a
personal injury action. The
street gang had left a ditch
open without giving the proper
warning signs, and a delivery
wagon ran into it, throwing the
driver, a boy, to the sidewalk,
badly injuring him. The jury
gave him $4,000 damage.
Judge Wheeler, yesterday de-
cided the fight over the County
Printing in Pottawattamie Co.,
by rendering a desision in ia
vor of the Herald-Journal VS..
The Tribune. The decision is a
righteous one and gives Bey-
mer, editor of the Herald-Jour-
nal the printing, a fact his ma
ny old friends in this city will
be glad to hear. The day of
the "boomed circulation for
the purpose of securing the Co.
Printing ought to be past.
The South Omaha school board
this week, paid $3.50 for 300
small trees to set out around
one of the school houses in that
city. Trees must come high
down there, or the school board
must come cheap. Fifty cents
a tree is regarded as a high
price up in this part of the coun-
try.
