Corn is small but healthy and grow

scenes of disorder. The most serious

the body. They were thrust back and
then a bigger crowd rushed forward

broad street temporarily d~isorganizing

At the cemetery there was consider.

crowd was restrained from passing
through the cemetery gates until the
arrival of the procession, and this re-
suited in much %crowding and pushing

Lambert Is Found Guilty.

Omaha, June 21.-LOgan Lambert
of Homer was found guilty of taking
liquor onto the Omaha Indian reserva-
ton. Lambert also was indicted for
selling liquor without a license from
the government. To this count of the
indictment he withdrew his former
plea of not guilty, changing 1t to a
plea Of guilty. The change of plea
was admitted because it was shown
that while he had a license to sell
liquor in the village of Homer up to
the end Of the fiscal year, he was not
entitled to dispose Of intoxicants else
where than at Homer. Lambert was
sentenced to one year in the Sioux
Falls ~penitentiary and fined 500.

Land Fence Trials Stop.

Omaha, June 2l.-It now begins to
look as if there will not be any more
trials for illegal fencing of the public
lands at this term OF the federal
court. The reasons given are that
the indictments of 1903 are defective
under new conditions, resulting from
the Kinkaid law. 1t Is held by Dep.
uty District Attorney Rush hat the
moral effect of the conviction of John
and Herman Krause of illegal fencing
will have a deterrent influence upon
other cattlemen charged with the VIC
lation of the law, and that the fences
will be taken down. But should they
show an indisposition TO take down
their fences on government lands,
prosecution will follow.

How this nation has expanded!
Our first expansion was after the sur
render of Burgoyne at Saratoga and
Lord CORVALLIS at Yorktown: and when
England gave us everything from Maine
to Louisiana it gave us the earth.
! Then we purchased Louisiana from
France. 1t extended away into the

runs, and the expansion is worth ten

hundred and fifty million dollars for her
mines and fisheries.
Then we paid twenty million dollars
for the Philippines, and shall make them
into a State as large as all New England,
with all the liberty of Massachusetts,
And Panama? Why, she just came to
us, flung her arms around us, and we
took her in-canal and all

expansion occurred with dear old Te-

us Texas, including Arizona. New

dent Taylor sent General Sherman, then
Captain, with a corps of surveyors to see
what we had got.
Sherman went over the Santa Fe
trail through Arizona to San Diego,
examining every river, desert and noun

When he returned to Washington he
went to see President Taylor.
Well, Captain" said the President,
You've surveyed all our new possessions,
and now how do YOU like them?"

Why, you are not going to say
you're not pleased with them!" inter
