National Corn Exposition.

The National Corn Exposition which
was held in Chicago last October will
be held in Omaha this year during Dec
ember.
Last year this exposition was limited
to corn and over $4,000 were distributed
in prizes. The great interest shown in
this work and the popular demand for
such an exposition has led the manag-
ers to include all of the small grains in
the exposition.
The Association has set aside 500 to
be distributed to Colorado exhibitors
Let us get together and raise fund to
be added to this sum aud make it worthy
Of our great state.
With our grain and grasses we come
in open competition with every state in
the Union. II we can give the proper
encouragement and all put their shoul
der to the wheel, there is no reason why
Colorado products should not lead in this
great agricultural exhibit and win her
share of the laurels. 1t is for every one
Of us to push this great work, for it is
through this means only that we can
convince the world of our wonderful re.
sources.
Every farmer should prepare a por
ton Of his land and crop with the inten-
ton OF making a record breaking exhibit
We are confident that we can lead all
other stations in agricultural products
F. Knorr of the Agricultural college
of Fort Collins has been elected as vice
president Of the National Corn Exposi-
ton for Colorado. Any information in
regard to exhibits will be cheerfully
given.

"Jayhawkers Of 49,"

The Death Valley Magazine, which is
publishing the life OF Death Valley Scot
ty, will begin the story of the "Jayhawk
ers of '49' in its May number. The
''Jayhawkers" discovered and gave
Death Valley its name. The story will
be written by John b. Cotton, one of the
survivors, who is now 10 years of age.
He was the youngest member of the
party, being 18 years old at the time.
April 8, l849, the party, consisting Of
36 members, organized at Galesburg,
Ills, under the name Of "Jeyhawkers,'
and started to the gold fields of Cali.
fornia. They were on foot the last 81
days OF the trip, having abandoned their
wagons and butchered their oxen for
food.
There are four survivors, one woman
aged "a years, who carried child upon
her back and kept in line while strong
men fell dead or went insane upon the
trail. ALI Of the story will be told for
the first time, the humorous as well as
the pathetic. Publishers have sought 1t
for 80 years, but the survivors have now
deemed it fit to give it to the Death Val
ley Magazine. No pioneer or lover of
American history can afford to miss it.
The subscription price Of the maya
zine is 81 a year. Every issue contains
stories and pictures Of the desert worth
the price. The publishers are also Civ
ing five shares of stock in the Death
Valley Quartz and Placer Mining Com
pany as premium The stock is Of the

The Big Stone Headlight has been
an able and strenuous supporter of
the stalwart side of the republican
controversy, but it gives notice that
the battle has been fought out and
the factions, SO far as the Headlight
has to do with it.. are united. Its po-
sition is one that will meet the ap-
proval of nineteen-twentieths of both
factions. In the spirit of philoso-
pher the Headlight declares:
"The representative newspapers Of
the two factions in the republican
party in this state, the Argus-Leader
and the Aberdeen American, are both
still rather bitter toward their re-
spective opponents who were nomina-
ted at the recent primary. They
might just as we'll come down. We
doubt if the country press will follow
the bell' very much farther. The
Headlight, for one, declines to have
It's ears rubbed any further this sea-
son. A majority Is majority, big or
little and we stand for the ticket as
nominated, both state and county.
The insurgents should remember, as
we do, that it Is one of the penalties
of popular government that the peo-
pie will not always be right-that
they will sometimes make mistakes
but time is long, and In the long run
the people get what they want, and
they get what they deserve. The po-
litical ideals of the two factions do
not differ much. The difference be-
tween them lies in their opinion OF
the persons selected to promote these
ideals. Time will show who was
right. We are sorry for the good men
who after doing their best for their
constituents were turned down
through what we believe was a mis-
apprehension on the part of the men
they tried to serve. Such was the
fate of Elrod two years ago, and OF
kittredge and Hall, and others this
year. 1t is one OF the contingencies
of public life, and the politician must
bo philosopher enough to take what
comes. The world moves about the
same, regardless Of who does the
cranking."

How Ole TOrkelsOn Was Killed.

The Hudson Tribune furnishes the
following description Of how Ole
Torkelson was killed in his pasture
north of Hudson by an enraged bull:
On the evening of July l, he went
into the pasture to bring home the
COWS for milking, as was his won't
every evening. He always had his dog
along but for some reason the dog did
not accompany him on this occasion.
The bull in the pasture was Gallo
way, three years old, hornless and
very small for his age weighing less
1000 pounds-this bull had almost
got the best of the old gentleman the
year before and he was always careful
to take the black shepherd dog along,
for the bull was afraid OF the dog.
His aged wife, a woman of over sew
enty, was in the milk house by the
barn when she heard her husband
scream as though in mortal agony,
and running to the door she saw the
bull stamping him with his feet, up
on side hill, in full view from where
she Stood The feeble old lady, plucky
as any heroine of olden time, ran as
fast as she could to her husbands as
sistance, and the bull seeing her,
promptly made for her, but the dog
luckily heard the believing Of the
maddened bull, and he managed to
get the bull by the nose and hold him,
until the old lady escaped by scrawl-
ing under the wire fence. Her screams
brought her son-in-law, Elias Fodness,
vino with the dogs assistance fought
the bull off, SO that he could get the
old gentleman to the house, where
medical aid was summoned. The
old gentleman was cut above the left
eye, and was scratched in the face,
and his chest had been crushed in,
and he was beyond medical aid, and
he only lived until three o'clock next
morning. 1t was a sad death for the
worthy old gentleman, who had hand
led cattle all his life. A 80 calibre
bullet between the black bulls eyes
on the afternoon of the second settled
all further devilment in that black
| demands heart.

fraud in which Gov. Crawford was
held up as the principal The scene
of the 'fraud" was laid in Walworth
county. We reluctantly refer to this
matter at this time because sincerely
anxious that the differences between
the progressive and stalwart republi-
can faction should be forgotten, and
this reference is not for the purpose
of arOusing discussion but as a matter
of justice to candidate whom it Is
candidly believed has been grossly
misrepresented. And inasmuch as
the governor will in all probability be
chosen to represent South Dakota in
the senate of the United States, It
will be qualification to his friends to
know that there were no substantial
grounds for connecting him with any
wrong doing In the matter of his Wal
worth county homestead. The follow
ing article taken from the Phoenix of
LIE Beau, Walworth county, explains
fully and satisfactorily, the view held
by the settlers In the vicinity of the
Sio"iOiu iiohACooOebu3 ACS0AuAAS OAAC
incident. The newspaper makes the
following statement:
"In analyzing the Walworth county
vote cast June 9th, it is we'll to note
the result in the third precinct, that
being the territory In which are locat-
ed the lands upon which the charge
of irregular filings we're made against
Governor Crawford and forming the
basis Of attack upon his integrity. by
the stalwart press of the state. In
that precinct 10 republican votes were
cast and 10 were for Crawford. The
men casting these votes were thorough
ly familiar with all the details of the
governors connection with those
lands. They read the comments OF
the press and were conversant with
every phase Of the attack based upon
the governors relation thereto, and
| with all these things before them, in
tensitied with bitter partisan strife
throughout the state and county, and
having absolutely no business, social
or other ties to influence their votes,
every one of them voted for Crawford.
The governor will, no doubt, have no
small degree of satisfaction in this In
| ctdent of the campaign just closed,
and his opponents can, If they will,
extract lesson therefrom, for their
own good in future campaign"
