An Iowa experiment station has
made thorough study of the structure
Of the corn kernel and has advocated
the possibility of selecting seed corn
for improved chemical composition by
a simple mechanical examination Of
sections of kernels (which one can cas-
lily make with a pocketknife). To its

The !5Pipestone Creamery has
broken another of it's records. The
last check drawn in favor of L.
Tuttle, of Verdi, a regular patron
of the institution, was for 1864.
This was for two weeks cream, and
is the largest single payment the
creamery has yet made. The patrons
of the creamery now number up
wards Of $780, and the average sum
paid them every two weeks is some
thing more than $500, bringing
the total disbursements Of tho
creamery every. month up to about
50, 400. It is hardly necessary to call
attention to the great benefit that a
community is bound to derive from
having such sum put into circula-
ton in it's midst every thirty days

Bliss and Clifford Loveless was
greatly enjoyed, also the chorus by
five of the b. s. girls.
The game at Sibley was not finish

the third inning, however we feel
we would have won. The !

Roy Gordon Was Name Of Young
Nan Killed at Ru.hmore..
Home Was at Tekamah,
Nebraska. / f


On Friday about $3.50 the son Of
John Abers who lives one mile east
Of Rushmore came running up to
the depot stating that there was 8
dead man on the track near their
farm. DR.. Carroll, j. G. Bronx and
section foreman took hand car and
went to the place where the man lay
just inside the rail on the south side
of the track. The fingers on enc
hand, one arm and leg were cut
off. The body was in a frightful
condition mangled and torn with
the back part Of the head entirely
worn away by the dragging which
by the blood showed that it had been
about four miles. At this place q
hat cap and part of a torn coat
were found and along the track
were parts Of the body and skull
bones. The remains were picked up
and brought to town and placed in
the freightroom. The man was about
% or 80 yeras of age as shown from
the front view of the face which is
very little marked. He had on a
new pair of blue overalls, new
fleeced lined underwear and a COM
paratively, new pair of work shoes
In his pocket was found letter
which reads as follows with the firm
heading Of j. c. Bixby and Son,
Council Bluffs, Iowa. >:.@.
Mr.. Roy Gordon,-We received
you check for 3.75 which Mr.. Kreller
states is the balance due you for
labor, we also ship by express today,
prepaid, box of liquid to finish up
the gas fixtures. You kindly" ask
that you collect the material that is
left from the bronzing and leave it
in the store there SO we may get it
when we come up. Thanking you
for your favors we are, yours truly
j. G. Bixby and Son.
A cold lunch was also in his pocket
consisting of biscuit, bologna and
a cracker. Also paddle on which
was cut with jack knife "Roy".
A red handkerchief, comb,a piece Of
chalk, a ticket-good for 2 1-2 cents
in trade Chas. Altchuler and a good
sized chunk of star tobacco. He has
blue eyes and was Of fair complec-
ton, smooth face. ~ Z. =. 80. =.
On the left heel of his shoes is red
paint, and on the instep are creases
which probably explains that he was
riding the brake beam of the morn
ing freight and either from SLEEP or
accident fell over backwards with
one foot caught which would give
him life but an instant. The brains
were picked up in solid mass few
feet from the hats. What he was do
ing with two hats we don't know.
Coroner Manson was phoned, and
came over and did what he could in
finding the mans home, through
the information of he letter. He
was probably a plumber bound for
Sioux Falls. He is probably the
same man that was put of the blind
at Worthington by conductor Jones
the evening before. We believe
this is the first accident that has
ever been reported from the Rush
more telegraph Office.

OBITUARY.

Myron Hawley Damon, born in
Madison County New York in Feb
II, 1s45, died Tuesday May 2, 1908.
Mr., Damon moved to Davenport,
Iowa, in 1861, enlisted in the army
in 1862, serving to close, married to
Annette Brown in 1869. Took up
Homestead in O'Brien County, Iowa.
He passed through the grassbopp-
or days and was the only one who
did not receive aid during these
hardships. Moved to Worthington
in 1892 and engaged in the real es-
tate business. Was a member of the
G. A. R.
He contracted severe cold while
working on his farm at Sheldon, re.
sulting in a throat trouble. He re-
turned from Sheldon the last time,
just before election last fall and at
that time was scarcely able to speak
above a whisper. Later the trouble
became so serious that q remark a-
BILE operation was performed. A
tube was inserted for breathing pur-
poses and another for food. He raj
lied gradually and this spring his
friends were highly pleased to SEQ
him walk up town ana be about his
home out of doors. Pneumonia set
in and after few weeks sickness he
passed away quietly. He was a man
of great fortitude and bore his in
tense suffering calmly
He was a relative Of a distinguish
ed eastern family, his grandfather
being the founder Of Hicksits Quak-
or church in the east. He became a
christian when a young man and fol
lowed that life to the end. He was
a member of the Congregational
church at this place. He was one Of
our most highly respected citizens.
While he never took an active part
in public affairs yet he will be great
IL missed from our midst. He leaves
wife, daughter, and two sons to
whom he was a most devoted hus-
band and father. Seldom do, we sec
a family more devoted to one anoth-
or than this one. Mrs. Damon isl
completely broke down in her grief
and was unable to attend the funer-
AL. The son, Albert, was obliged to
leave h 8 sick bed, in the northern
part of the state in order to be

RANSOM.

RANSOM.
Several of our neighbors have set
out few trees this spring. There
are few things that pay better.
There is something not altogether
satisfactory about the way our road
tax on personal property is managed.
Here is a case in point.
The ice that laid down the te]e-
graph and telephone wires so badly
also did much damage to the trees.
It was not so bad, however, as the
one we had in tho winter several
years ago.
The assessor will soon be around
to find out how much we are worth.
He is not man to be afraid of, for
if We are honest with him, he will
surely be honest with us.
Last Saturday and Sunday were
rather wet days, and corn planting
will be delayed somewhat on acc
cunt OF it. Much corn would have
been planted even in the fore part of
this week had the weather remain
ed dry
An old friend of mine, who was
somewhat inclined to be ''funny,"
when we happened to have an unus-
ually wet spell FUSED to :"Well,
this is fine weather for young
ducks'A much better way to look at
it than to sit down and give way to
: at Of the blues. ''Laugh, and the
world laughs with you, Weep, and
you weep alone" And it's well that
it is so. If the reverse were true,
just imagine, if you can, what q
world We should have. Weep, and
the world weeps with you. Laugh
and you laugh alone Why, only
think Of it, a world Of weepers.
Why, we should all be ready to
migrate to some far off island in
mid ocean. Nothing will more
surely unfit us for the battle of life,
than will falling into line with the
weepers.
7. B. Thompson was a resident
Of Ransom in 1901, and his personal
was assessed in this to wn
For the reason of 1902 he rented
4 farm in Dewald, but having been
assessed in Ransom the year before
bis road tax for the year 1902 was
carried out against him in Ransom
and not being a resident
Of Ransom in 1902 and his road tax
not being worked, it was returned
delinquent. In the winter just pass
ID the said T. B. paid his personal
tax, all the tax, so far as
70 knew against him; but later, this
spring, he received notice from the
'heriff that his road tax for the year
1902 was not paid, and that the
penalty included, was so
much. That is where the kick comes 1,
n the pealty. In almost all cases of
he kind the men do not know tkat
here is any tax standing against
hem until notified of it by the
heriff, and by that time the penalty
8 added. These mon do not object
o paying the tax but they grumble
Q pay the penalty, when they would
willingly have paid the tax had they
lnown that any such tax stood
gainst them.
If this cause of complaint could
,e avoided, it would be we'll.
