Cigarettes the Worst

We recently had occasion to
notice very particularly the Of
fensive and nauseous odors of a
slaughter house as the wind
was in the right quarter and it
was strong enough to drive a
man to drink. The dead car
casses and refuse which were
attracting birds of carrion were
sickening to a human being.
But shortly after this we visit
ed a packing house where the
refuse is cooked and made into
ertilizer, which was worse still.
Our clothes reeked with the
odor for days; at least we
thought so. And while on the
way home the train on which
we were travelling ran over a
common prairie skunk, evident

the disagreeable smell saturat-
ed the atmosphere, and we
thought we had reached the

once in our lives. But when
we alighted from the train and
started up the street we found
ourselves walking directly be-
hind a tin horn sport, who was
sucking an Egyptian dirty
cigarette and blowing off clouds
of germ laden nicotine smoke.
One cloud of itstruck us square
in the face and we knew at that
time that the other sickening
smells were as sweet and pure
as the breath of a babe com
pared with the stencil that was
emitted from the nostrils of
this blear-eyed sport. The
faint odor from the livery
stable which we were passing
was as Of new mown hay. We
have always despised the

of the obnoxious things seem
more and more filthy and often

cracks. The wood is straight-
grained and suitable for lum-
ber. 1t splits easily, seasons
quickly, and makes excellent
fuel.
The Norway poplar grows
very rapidly. In Minnesota it
has been known to grow 50
feet high with a diameter of II
inches in IA years. It makes a
good shade tree, retaining it's
leaves until late in the autumn,
and on account of its rapid
growth should prove very de-
sirable for windbreaks and
shelterbelts. So far as is
known at present, this tree is
perfectly hardy and will grow
under a variety of soil and
moisture conditions. 1t seems,
however, to respond quickly by
increased growth to cultivation
and care.
The advantage which the
Norway holds over the Caro-
lima poplar, one of the most
popular of cottonwoods, is
chiefly in its greater hardness,
better form, and the seemingly
superior quality of its wood is
shown in preliminary studies
made by the United States For
est Service. 1t will be some
time before the Norway poplar
will be available for widespread
planting, since cuttings Of the
true variety are at present very
scarce and hard to obtain.

How December Has Acted

In the Decembers of the last
thirty-slx years the mean
temperature has been q de-
grees above zero, the warmest
being in 1889 with an average
Of 80, the coldest being in 1879
with average Of II, according
to data covering that period of
years issued by the weather
bureau, compiled from the
records in Omaha, but which is
not constructed as a forecast of
the weather conditions for the
coming month.
The highest December tenn
perature in the thirty-six years
was II degrees above zero De-
cember "a, 1879, when it went
down to II degrees below. The
average precipitation for the
month was .93 inches, the
greatest being in 1902 with
272 inches, and the lowest in
1890 with .08. The greatest
amount of precipitation within
any twenty-four consecutive
hours was 1.30 December 6 and

of snowfall in twenty-four

A stranger, supposed from
papers found on his person to
be James Boyd, a Scotchman,
was discovered early yesterday
morning in an almost lifeless
condition by the side of the
tracks of the Northwestern
railroad about two miles east OF
Crescent City. He was found
by the members of a section
gang and was brought to Mercy
hospital, where he died during
the afternoon without regain
ing consciousness.
The mans injuries, DR.. Cole,
the company's physician who
attended him, said indicated
that he had been struck from
behind by a fast train. All of
the ribs on one side of the body
were broken and there was a
deep cash in the back of the
head. B ,th Of the mans hands
were frog n and the whole body
was thoroughly chilled, evi-
IDENTIFY by hours of exposure.
In a memorandum book was
found written "James Boyd, %
Graham street, Govan, Glasgow,
Scotland" There were also
entries showing the man had
been in Chamberlain and other
points in South Dakota as late
as November. On the right
arm were tattooed figures of a
sailor, soldier and a Scotch
Highlander. On the left arm
a female figure just above the
initials 81. B." The man was
apparently about As years of
age and a laborer.
The body was removed to
Cutters undertaking rooms.

Tree Planters Discovered
Good Qualities in Norway
Poplar

Tree planters throughout the
northern portion of the middle
west have brought to their at
tention lately the extraordinary
value of the Norway poplar, a
near relative of the common
cottonwood, which possesses
fine qualities that bid fair to
raise the prestige of the whole
cottonwood family.
This cottonwood is shrouded
in mystery, so far as it's origin
is concerned. 1t bears no cot
ton and is reproduced entirely
from cuttings. The tree grows
straight and lean and it is said
that the bark never scales or

In the best game of football
ever played in Mo. Valley, the
local town team defeated a
picked team from South Omaha
by a score of IL to 0.
This is the same team that
played Mo. Valley to a 90 tie
about two weeks ago, but
since that time the locals have
perfected themselves in the
use of the forward pass, which
they used with success several
times during the game and
failed to gain on it but once.
Mo. Valley started the game
by kicking off to Omaha, who
were soon forced to punt. Mo.
Valley failed to return the punt
but by severe line plunging by
Beckley the bah was placed
within a few yards of the goal
but the Valley was penalized
fifteen yards on a forward pass
which Daniels failed to catch,
but the failure only made them
more determined and after a
short end run the forward pass
was used again, Daniels making
a clever catch and carried the
ball over the lire for the first
touchdown of the game. Blunt
kicked goal. Score, Mo. Valley
6, Omaha 0.
Mo. Valley kicked off to Oma-
ha, who punted to the center of
the field. Mo. Valley carried
the ball back to Omaha terri
tory but lost the ball on a
tumble.
Omaha carried the ball out of
danger by end runs but lost it
in the center of the field on
downs. In the next play one
of Omaha's tackles was injured
slightly and had to leave the
game.
The first half ended soon
after with the ball near the
center of the field in possession
of Mo. Valley.
Omaha opened the second
half by kicking to Cullavin who
returned the ball to the center
|cf tie sel.aa.
Beckley was called on for
several line plunges which in
variably resulted in a good gain
and when within about twenty
five yards of the goal was sent
through center and by splendid
assistance of Cox and Blunt,
broke through for the second
touchdown. Blunt kicked goal.
Score, Mo. Valley IL, Omaha O.
The Valley then kicked to
Omaha, who by punting fre-
quently, were able to keep the
ball near the center of the field
until the half ended.
One of the notable things
about the game was the lack Of
rag chewing which has marred
most of the games played here.

summed up the situation

summed up the situation in
this manner.
''You can look for immediate
relief whenever you please.
When you tire of looking else
where you will agree with me
that the quickest road for
financial relief is to close the
New York stock exchange and
free the currency that it domi-
mates and turn it into the chan
nels of legitimate commerce.
'Let the eastern banks pay
our Oklahoma banks what they
owe them and should pay in
currency on demaud, and we
can market our products now
ready for the buyer and vastly
increase our own wealth. Z
The new governor seems To
strike the financial situation
squarely on the head. The
West has plenty money of its
own to move the crops, but
New York has repudiated her
obligations to the western
banks, in fact, to all her cores
pondents and depositors and
the West finds itself in a posi-
ton where it has plenty of
wealth but no money. Persia
