der date of December you publish a
statement regarding the work of the
volunteer fire department of this place
during the fire of that morning.
You say the Creighton volunteer
fire department led by the Huffsmths,
did some excellent work
The facts are Chief Mcfarland and
his assistant, James Patten, were
present and directed the efforts of the
company in person throughout the en-
tire fire and it is not right to take the
honors so justly and hard earned from
our worthy officers and give 1t to two
members of the company. Huffsmith
Bros. worked hard and should be Civ
en- all due credit but do not think it
right to give one man honors that be-
long to another.
Yours very respectfully,

SOME CORN STORIES.
The Crop Of Stories as Big as the Crop
Of Corn-The Champion Husker.

The Crop Of Stories as Big as the Crop
Of Corn-The Champion Husker.
The corn yield all over Nebraska
seems to range from 80 to G5 bushels
per acre, and Is considered bumper
crop. Wagers add interest to the work
of some of the huskers. Near Fair
bury H. A. Day made bet with Louis
Loubin that he could husk 65 bushels
Of corn in ten hours. He won easily,
as he husked IS bushels in the allotted
time. Ben Fisher, a young Bohemian
farmer near Barneston Neb, wagered
that he could husk $50 bushels of corn
in one day. His opponent dropped out
of the race at 3 o'clock in the after
noon, when Fisher had completed 14S
bushels. Fisher declares that he could
have husked 175 bushels had he
worked until sunset. Harley Herald,
of Chester, claims to be the champion
corn husker of his county. He husked
and cribbed for David Duey 1900 bush
els in twenty-one days. In one day he
husked 1876 bushels.
The best husking story of all, how
evei comes from Surprise, Nebr
where Ezra Ward announces that he
is ready to meet all comers in ten
hour contest for a substantial wager.
His friends declare that Ward can
husk and scoop 2S0 bushels of corn
in ten hours in fair weather

Washington dispatch.
Ambassador Thompson and Eugene
Seegar, consul general at Rio Janeiro,
had a row and each sought to injure
the other with the authorities here.
The ambassador forwarded charges
against Mr.. Seegar, making allega-
tions that seemed to disqualify him
for continuance in office. Consul Gen
eral Seegar, in turn, preferred charges
against Mr.. Thompson.
The charges in each instance were
regarded by the president as serious,
and the solicitor general, Mr.. Penfield
of the state department, was sent to
Brazil with instructions to make a
thorough investigation. Mr. Penheld
completed his errand and returned
Ambassador Thompson followed Mr.
Pentield to the United States. landing
in New York soon after Penfield's ar
rival. He remained there few days
and then proceeded to his Nebraska
home. He did not come here and pay
the usual visit of respect to the presi
dent and secretary of state. This neg

The repetition of the charge that

question. Circular letters have been
sent to clubs in every state in the

concerning the families of club wo.

number of Chicago womens clubs have
received copies and have plans on
foot to gather the required statistics.
The first to make a showing is the
North End Women's club. Edgewater.
Those present at a meeting filled out
blanks answering the questions.
These statistics are in the hands of
