Some Interesting Figures Showing

Please let Us remind you again the
necessity of sowing some of your beets
just as early as possible. Fit your
ground as good as you can, but be
careful and not handle and stir when
too wet. for nothing will be gained by
so doing. We much rather have land
little poorly fitted and sown early
than to have the same land thoroughly
fitted and sown late, because after your
seed comes up if sown early, you can
make up some for poor fitting by more

action of J. A. Williams. who secured the
nomination for railway commissioners by
selling out his constituents-the republic
can delegation of Pierce county-of which
he was chairman. Mr.. Sonnenschein said:
~ notice Mr.. Williams says he did not
barter the Pierce county vote in the con-

missioner and that he was not a candidate
and did nothing to secure the nomination.
Mr.. Williams came to me and to the other
members OF the Cunning county delegation,

Little Eddie Parsons. who has been under

for almost month, was turned over Thurs
day to his father Edward Parsons Of

detective work on the part OF the Omaha
and Denver authorities.
Eddie ran away from home several

and put or here and turned over to the
police, who In turn delivered him to the
Juvenile officers. He is only 10 years old.
but he told a clever story to keep his
identity from the officers
He said his parents lived in Kentucky
and that his father was a railroad man.
He said they gave him to an uncle living
In Denver with whom he had been living.
His aunt died, he said and his uncle put
him on the train to go home to his parents.
He had forgotten the name OF the town in
Kentucky in which they lived and could
not recall his uncle's last name Lack OF
these details aroused suspicion on the part
Of the officers, but they found the name OF
Denver firm in one of his shoes and con-
cluded he was from there. They wrote
Judge Lindsey and had his probation Of
ficer look up the case. They recognized
Eddie az one Of the boys who had been
in court and soon located his father.
When Mr., Parsons arrived here Eddie
changed his story He said a strange man
induced him to 60 down to the depot and
then put him on the train. He appeared
to be glad to see his father and promised
Judge sutton he would be good from now
