there are two distinct forms of blight,
known as the early and the late blight.
The early blight first appears in late

upon date of planting and condition of
plants. The late blight the latter part
of July or first Of August. There are,

TWO CENTS A MILE.


Without struggle, since the
Legislature passed the 2-cent per
mile rate bill-which was signed
by Governor Sheldon and became
a law yesterday-the railroad
companies bowed to the newt
able and sent new rate sheets in
conformity with the law to all
ticket selling stations in Ne
braska with instruction to begin
selling this morning under its
provisions.
1t was generally supposed the
railroad companies would test the
law, and their prompt submission
suggest that after a few months
they will go before the COM
mission with figures showing
that their passenger trains cannot
be operated upon that rate,
except at loss.
OF course it is generally known
that the profit in railroading is
derived principally from freight
traffic and another theory of the
companies acquiescing to the
passenger rate so complacently
was along the lines of martyrdon
so they could implore for leniency
if the Legislature came at then
too strong for reduction o.
freight rates.
But be the suppositions wha
they may and the theories wilt
and varied, the fact remains tina
the 2-cent per mile passenge,
rate is now in full force ant
effect in Nebraska and-we shall
see what we see.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.


All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains Of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry,
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc But
if you keep the filters right you will

1t is said the good man does
lives after him, but how often
the world forgets the men who
have benefited it. All through
the western states are thousands
who have profited by the grow
ing of alfalfa, but not many Of
them know that this was intro
duced into the United States
from South America by Harrison
Parkman who died recently at
Topeka, Kans. Hardly a line
appeared concerning the work
done by this modest man, yet how
far reaching are the results of
his work? Alfalfa has done
much for this country. All
through the agricultural de-
partment Of this government are
other unassuming workers, labor
ing to better the conditions of
the agriculturalists and make
this country richer and pleasanter
as an abode, and they deserve
great credit for their persistency
and faithful labor for their
fellow beings.

DEAR S1R:-Apparently the
question of division in Custer
will not calm and property owners
must continually bring forward
arguments and facts to show the
advantages of maintaining the
county as it is now constituted.
1t may be of interest to learn
that in 1906, Custer county at
tanned FIRST place among the
counties Of the state in the total
yield of corn. For some time
Custer has held second place in
the total corn yield, ranking
next to Lancaster, but in 1906
Custer passed Lancaster not only
in total productor but in average
yield per acre. The average
yield in Lancaster being 81 BUSH
els while Custer produced IS
bushels per acre. For some time
Custer has ranked first in the
value of total agricultural pro-
ducts. In alfalfa Custer stands
third among the counties of the
state and this crop is the sheet
anchor for the county's pros
perity. The Department of
Agriculture has demonstrated
that alfalfa adds 500 to the
value of plant food il every acre
of land where it is grown.
AT this time capitalists are
quite shy of investments in Gus
ter. While AZ and 5 per cent
money is available IN the eastern
part of the North Platte country,
the line is drawn through the
center. of Boone county as the
western boundry for the low
interest rate.
Custer needs more transporta-
ton lines rather than county
capitals and by standing togeth-
er and holding the county in the
front rank where it stands today,
capital will be attracted to the
richest agricultural county in
Nebraska. Yours truly,
w. S. DELANo.

Obituary.

Anna Walton was born at
Pittsfeld, N. Y, February IA,
1915. On January l, 1882, at
New Berlin, N. Y, she was
united in marriage with David
Steere, to which union twelve
children were born, six Of whom
are still living. David Steere
died March II, 1870, and on
February "a, 1872, she was
married to Harlow Walton, at
Iowa Falls, Iowa. Sixteen years
later, in 1886, they moved to
Broken Bow, Nebraska, and here
Mr.. Walton died September 9,
1900, since which time she has
resided with her step-children,
P. A. Walton and Hattie E.
Speake in this city; F. A. Walton
OF Arcadia, also being a step-son,
who, with two sons, ]. d. and
c. H. Steere, of Iowa Falls, were
present at the funeral services
and burial.
Last s. turday, March 2, she
was feeling better and more
cheerful than usual, although
just convalescing from a severe
cold, but that night at about IL
o'clock she was taken with short
ness of breath and choking spells.
Aphysician was called and ali that
could be was done to prolong her
life, but without avail and at
about 4 o'clock, March 3, 1907,
her spirit took its flight.
Funeral services, attended by
large number of friends and
acquaintance were held at the
M. E. church at 10 O'Clock yester-
day, conducted by Rev. Early, OF
the Christian church.
None ever entered her home
without a warm welcome MOI
none left without feeling the
warmth of genuine hospitality.
Advanced age dill not destroy
the charm of a kind, iudulgent
disposition nor did it diminish
her unselfish solicitude for her
friends and loved ones. Adherine
to the faith of her fathers she
united with the Methodist church
in early life and later with
the Christian church and she
loved to atrend its services when
health permitted-as she did
only a week prior to death,
While she has continued to enjoy
the society of friends and chill
dren, she has for several years,
realized that her active life was
over and with resignation
awaited the Divine summons.
