Farmers VIII Lose Cattle.

LINCOLN-The farmers and stock
men of the state will lose consider
able stock on account of cornstalk for
age, according to the opinion of State
Veterarian Thomas. Numerous COM
plants Of losses are made to him. He
estimates that the loss due to that
source alone was 100000 last year,
10000 cattle having died. Because of
the very dry fall and the dessicated
condition of the stalks, the veterinary
believes that the loss will be much
greater for the current year, unless
the farmers take precautions to keep
the animals out of the stalks.

MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION.
Reclamation of Lands In Nebraska
Counties.

heeIamatIon OF Lanus IN NepTaska
Counties.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.--The valley
Of the North Platte, in Nebraska, is
about to enter upon an era of sub
stantial development which will in
time convert 1t into one of the most
populous and prosperous districts in
the west Nearly 100000 will be
expended within the next two or
three years in western Nebraska and
contiguous territory upon irrigation
projects. This means labor for thou
sands of men in the state.
The Nebraska project will reclaim
100000 acres. Most of it has been
surveyed by the geological survey
but 1t has not yet reached the point
where specifications and blue prints
can be made. 1t is an extension of
a great Wyoming project contemplate
ing the construction of n gigantic
dam between the high perpendicular
walls of a rock-bound canyon in the
mountains, through which the North
Platte river forces its way to the Ne
braska prairies, down the eastern
slope to the Missouri river.
The dam will create an immense
reservoir for storing the water, which
is plentiful in early spring, but which,
under natural conditions, disappears
during the growing season. 1t pre-
sents an engineering problem Of i'm
mense proportions.
The cash is in the United States
treasury with which to do this work.
On June 80, 1904, the available fund
to Nebraska's credit was 7,937.42,
Of which sum $243,766.44 must be ex-
pended in Nebraska; or, in other
words, cannot legally be diverted to
apply to irrigation projects in other
states.

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend. Ind, Sept. 25th (Spe-
cial)-After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years; after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, Mr.. J. o. Lau-
deman of this place found not only
relief but a speedy and complete cure
in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking Of
his cure Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, suffered from Kidney Trou-
BILE for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good Then I took just two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys. but gave
me better health in general. OF course
I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills
to others and | know a number now
who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Back
acne to Bright's Disease that Dodd's
Kidney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
Bright's Disease.

RITUAL or THE ESKIMO.
Elaborate Ceremonies Held at the Re-
turn of the Sun.

Elaborate Ceremonies Hello az the Re
turn of the Sun.
It might be supposed that the Eszi-
mo were too much occupied in fortiiy-
ing themselves against hunger and
cold to indulge in religious rites and
ceremonies. An explorer in Arctic
Alaska. however, reports that the na-
tiyes have quite an elaborate ritual,
in the course of which huge and gro
tesoue masks are used. Their princi-
pal festival is held at Easter, when
they celebrate the return Of the SUM-
Eskimo, dressed in appropriate cos
tunes and wearing masks, personate
the sun, the moon and various Arctic
animals, and there is much chanting
and dancing. Some Of the masks are
so heavy that they have to be suspend
ed from the roof Of the house in which
the ceremonies are held, the actors
simply standing behind them and wag-
ging them from side to side. All the
masks are carved not only with
rugged resemblance of the object or
animal represented. but with hideous
human face designed to represent It's
ghost. This is due TO the Eskimo be
lief that every animal and thing has
spirit OF human form and features. In
some cases the mask is made 10 open
by means Of hinged doors, showing an
other mask formed like a human face
beneath
