gulltiess OF any intentional wrongdoing.
: The court of course could not grant the

peal to the circuit court of appeals and
! this appeal has been pending since. The
/ final argument on the appeal was had in
April, 1907. Mr.. Rush and District At

WHEAT DOUBLES ESTIMATES
Nebraska Fields Are Bringing Forth
Unexpected Bounty.
ANSWER TO CALAMITY HowLERs
Threading Returns show that the
wheat is of Fine Quality and Is
Running Twenty to Thirty
Bushels Per Acre.

Late reports from Nebraska harvest
fields lead many local grain men to predict
that the states production of wheat this
year will not be so very far behind that
of last year after all No dealer is pre-
pared TO say just how much 1t will be be-
hind last year, but all are agreed the crop
is a good one.
The first actual threshing reports have
come in the last two days from the south
ern counties, where a few threshers are
already In operation. w. B. Weekes Of
the Weekes Grain and Live Stock COM
pany had letter from a representative in
one of the southern counties saying a field
Of wheat was being threshed which was
turning out thirty bushels to the acre II
was of very fine quality.
Yield More Than Double.
j. r. Morris Of the Nye-Schneider- Fowler
company said. while he had no threshing
returns, he had reports from grain men
from many southern counties, both while
the wheat was being cut and since most
OF II has been cut. These reports indi-
cate a yield Of twenty to thirty bushels an
acre, where six weeks ago twelve or fif-
teen bushels was the predicted yield. Mr..
Morris says the yield all over the state is
conceded to be enormously larger than
the most sanguine could have expected
few weeks ago. The quality Is generally
reported good.
Harvest is general all over the southern
part of the state and in the counties closer
to the Platte the first wheat fields have
been cut.
Tvine is Scarce.
! Considerable difficulty is experienced by
many country dealers in getting twine.
At time when it looked as though the
crop would be very short they cancelled
their Irvine orders and OF course the whole
salers lightened their demands on the
factories. The result is the Improvement
in the wheat crop has caused big cry
( for twine. Some of the Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs jobbers are burning up the wires
/ to hurry along shipments from the factories
and are putting of the lnsistent dealers
! from day to day. One or two concerns are
lucl1ier and now have fair supply OF
twine on hand, though It is likely they
win need more before the harvest has
passed into Dakota

Visitors to Bermuda often bring bach

as the life plant, and when the leaves
begin to shrivel and fade they send
out little shoots which in turn beaj
leaves that continue to grow and re

the top portion of the leaf will begir

likely to continue until the upper hall
has lost its green color. Then tin,

and in time diminutive green leave,

MAKING HABITAT GROUPS.

Most Minute "Details Are Reproduced
At Great Expense.
Stuffing the skins Of birds and of
animals is no longer the method used
in up-to-date taxiderny, The latest
thing is the manikin system.
This Is the method employed in the
preparation of the so-called habitat
groups, showing birds and animals in
their natural surroundings. In making
shese groups expense is not spared.
Pieces of rock, stones, shells. plants,
and even earth are brought from the
localities whose general characteristics
are to be produced. The artist who Is
to paint the background goes to the
very place itself and paints from ma
ture.
If leaves or small. soft twlgs are to
be reproduced, plaster Impressions are
taken Of the real objects and melted
wax Is run into these molds, 50 that
every line and vein is shown. The wax
leaf or twig is then sprayed with paint.
SAYS a writer In Fur News, the opera
tor using an air brush. so as not to put
on more paint than Is necessary.
In some instances the leaves are
punctured to represent injuries infict-
ed by insects. The finished leaves are
attached to the stems of the plants or
trees so skillfully that they have ev-
cry appearance Of growing there. Two
men and two women are employed at
the museum continually in this branch
of the work alone.
In representing water, sheets of cell
luloid are used, which are so strong
that when placed in position in the case
they will bear the weight of man.
This substance is used to great advan-
tage in this branch of the work, as it
may be cut to any shape and may also
be bored full of holes to admit the
stems of water grasses, eattails, etc.

Everything about the Moundans is
picturesque and interesting. They are
a vigorous and handsome race and very
brave. but. contrary to the almost uni
versal practice of the Africans In re-
gions where white rule has not been
established, they never carry arms. On
the contrary, the implement oftenest
seen In their hands is hoe.
Nevertheless. they appear to have
descended from wacIike ancestors and
were probably driven southwark from
their original mountain home by some
eonQuering chief. "reminiscences of
this past may be seen in their semi
military architecture, which does not
resemble that OF any of the neighbor-
Ing peoples, At little distance one
OF their villages looks like fortified
city.
The Moundan village. OF which Lere
is an excellent type. is inclosed by a
series Of round towers connected by
walls from two to three meters In
height. Inside, parallel to the lnclos-
ing walls. is circle OF cupolas. each
one pierced with a single hole. These
are the granarieS the most important
buildings OF the town.
They are erected on piles supported
on great stones. which places them be-
yond the reach OF termites and rodents

entrance is through the hole In the
vaulted roof. Between the outer wall
and the granaries are the homes cs
the people. while the residencs OF the
I chief faces the entrance.
