Harvest Festival Windup.

The aftermath of the Harvest
Festival has resulted very cheer
ingly. Those who first agitated
the idea were carelessly cast
aside as belonging to a crazy
house. But they are wearing
laurels today, and the people who
would not attend meetings in it's
incipience will be there next
time. Not only has it called at
tention to Sedgwick county, but
1T has sold for some of those who
took pride in their stock their
young pedigreed exhibits and a
demand for more. 1t has given
these people a pride in their call
ing and placed a premium on the
results of good farming and in
telligent breeding. And this is
but a beginning and under prac-
tlcally 10 careful organization.
The appeal is now for reorgan-
ization along proper lines. Ev-
cry man and woman is fitted for
some place in the direc-
ton of an association. some bet
ter for the departmental than
for the general, but all are fitted
for the big wheel that makes the
show run smoothly.
Peter Leef and wife, of Deuel.
county, Nebraska, were in at
tendance at the Festival last
week; they are the parents of
seventeen children, eight of
whom are dead Ten of the fam
lily were present, one daughter
being unable to attend. Mr.
and Mrs. Carlson and Mr.. and
Elmquist are parents of
thirteen, and Photographer Mur-
vim desires to know which of the
three is entitled to his special +
prize.

distinguished people stop at
Julesburg every year
But few remain.
One. however, has stopped to
make her permanent home.
Julesburg has had in its midst
all summer Il distinguished wo-
man In the person of Mrs. Mae
Wood Platte, who claims to have
married the notorious Tom
Platte, the senior senator of New
York, six years ago, and now
seeks absolute divorce with, it is
presumed, the customary ali
mony.
Tuesdays newspapers contain
ed the following Associated
Press dispatch from New York:
Mae Catherine Wood, the form
er government clerk who has
been suing United States Sena-
tor Thomas G. Platt for several
years today brought action in the
supreme court for absolute di-
vorce from the senator, alleging
that she had been married to
| him in the Fifth Ayenue hotel
New York, in 1901. ]. D. Lee,
representing the plaintiff, an
nounced the action as ''Platt
against Platt," and he said the
motion was for the purpose of
framing an issue. He said he
wanted the details to become
generally known. John B.
Stanchield, who appeared for
Senator Platt, asked that the
matter he heard in private by a
referee. He said Senator Platt
was never married to Miss Wood
and therefore there was no
ground for divorce. Justice
Seabury reserved decision.
Mrs. Wood has ranch of sew
eral thousand acres opposite
Julesburg which she is improv-
ing and will stock twith the best
pedigress, when her house now
in coure of building is finished.
She inleed has been very
busy wdnan all the past sum
mer. This celebrated lady is
hoping or the hour when the
carpeitrs will turn the key over
and sic can nestle beside her
own tTeolace to watch the dane
ing OF tie plow and dream of
what might have been without
the coln.el Of her alleged dire
lect hlsbtnd.
1t ill be remembered by
many hat she endeavored to get
