ALL TAFT SENTIMENT HERE.
MADISON COUNTY CONVENTION
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
is LAST ONE FOR FOUR YEARS

Under the New Primary Law, There
viii Not be Another County Conven.
ton Until the Next Presidential
Campaign In 1911.
Madison county republicans hold
their leap year county convention at
Battle Creek Saturday afternoon on
the odd day of the year, the twenty.
ninth of February.
For three long years the twenty
ninth of February will be missing from
the calendar of the year and for three
long years county conventions will be
missing from the political calendar.
The Nebraska legislature has de.
creed that county conventions shall be
as rare as the twenty-ninth of Febru-
airy and the chance that brought the
two on the same day gives an oppor-
tunity to bid long goodbye to both.
Neither will come again for four years.
1t being permissible under the new
primary law to hold county conven-
lions only to select delegations to the
conventions that pick the delegates
who represent Nebraska at the ma
tional convention.
Sentiment Is All For Taft.
There isn't any question that the
Battle Creek convention will be Taft
convention. The big war secretary is
as strong over the county as he is In
Norfolk.
Wednesday evening the Madison re-
publicans met In caucus and named a
Taft delegation: George Richardson,
Frank A. Peterson, G. S. Smith, +. p.
Prince, c. s. Snyder, Chris Schavland,
A. M. Cunningham, u. d. Mathews, w.
c. Elley, l.. G. Bley, James Nichols
and S. c. Blackman.
The Battle Creek convention will be
called to order at l p. m. by c. A.
Smith of Tilden, chairman of the coun-
ty central committee. The business
of the convention will be to select two
delegations of fifteen delegates each
to the Norfolk congressional conven-
ton and the Omaha state convention.
Several familiar convention figures
may be missing from the Battle Creek
convention on account of the Boche
murder trial at Madison which will
probably hold Madison county attor-
neys away from Battle Creek.

total Ice supply for general consump-
ton in Norfolk limited to less than
sumption in Norfolk furnishes a de-
mand for about twice that much ice.
The situation spells something of an
ice famine.
The ice gathering season is believed
to be over. G. w. Schwenk, who sue
ceeded in getting about 500 tons of
ice into his big ice house from the
Boche slough south of Norfolk, has
found that supply Of ice at an end.
The slough ice is now about five
inches thick and is said to be going
fast.
Norfolk people who have been able
to cut down on their coal bill this year
will either add to their savings by go
ing without ice or drop the coal econ
omy money in the ice box. The price
Of ice will have to be higher this sum-
mer, in fact will be considerably
higher.
Mr.. Schwenk has been commended
for his energetic attempt to retrieve
the situation when the river supply
failed him by putting a big force of
men and teams to work down on the
Boche slough. The additional expense
involved was of course considerable
and there was the chance that the
river might still freeze.

America. On reaching Buenos Ayres
Prof. Bruner organized the scientists
of the country to take up the work
systematically. After a germ disease
was discovered which was fatal to this
particular species of hopper, numerous
specimens were captured and innocu-
lated with the germ. Soon these be.
came mighty sick grass hoppers and
on being liberated in different parts
of the country transmitted the disease
to their associates. Soon millions of
grass hoppers became victims of the
disease until great drifts of the dead

accomplished the professor returned to
Lincoln and modestly took up the
duties of his professorship again.

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.
Il practise from seven to eight hours
a day and study Harmony two hours"
writes a Mich. music student. Last
September 1 was so nervous l could
only practise few minutes at time,
and mother said l would have to drop
my music for a year.
This was terribly discouraging as
I couldn't bear the thought of losing
vinced that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee. and seeing
Postum SO highly spoken of, l de-
cided 1 would test it for while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and l thought l had never
tasted such a delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
Of coffee, and by November l felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
finished l am not any more nervous
than when began.
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise half
a day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.
Words cannot express my appreciation
for this most valuable health bever-
age and experience has proyen its
superiority over all Others" There's
a Reason"

TWo-TAILED COW is SOLD.
Animal Brings Good Price When Put
Up at Auction.

Halifax, Pa.-There was a vast
crowd present at the sale on the Wal
dorf Story farm last week, attracted,
no doubt, by the fact that Mr. Story's
famous two-tailed COW was put up at
auction.
Bidding on this animal was most
spirited, the COW being run up to STA
and being purchased by Baron Won
Thiessen, Danish breeder.
Aside from being a freak of nature,
this COW had several other unusual
points. 1t was said by the owner that
during the summer months. when the
other cows were worried by flies and
in consequence gave but little milk,
the double-tailed COW maintained her
average.
Ordinarily, when COW swishes her
tail around on one side the flies assem-
BILE on the opposite side This COW
was able to swish on both sides at the
same time, and this SO confused the
pests that they quit annoying her.

Unusual Conditions in Placing Girl il

Los Angeles. Cal.-By one of tho

Singular conditions attach to the
award. Judge Monroe stipulating that
Schilb must make his home in Los
Angeles, place the often-kidnappcd
child in the custody of another wom-
an and win the affection of little
Mildred before he may actually have
her in his keeping. And he must also
permit the mother to visit the child

the divorce from his first wife, de-
clares he is glad to comply with the
conditions.

BORN IN OLD HOME
elFTH GENERATION SEES LIGHT
IN HISTORIC DWELLING.
Baby Appears and Is Rocked in the
Same Cradle Which LulIed His
t-Great- Grandfather to
Sleep Years Before.

Columbus-Born in the house of his
at-greatgrandfather and rocked in
the cradle that lulled his great-great-
grandfather to sleep away back in old
Connecticut before the beginning of
the last century, is the patrician be-
binning of wee Edward Griswold Nc
Cullough, who made his appearance
on earth recently in the old Griswold
inn at Worthington. He is the son of
Edward Miles Mccullough and Harriet
Griswold Mccullough.
In all the romance of old Worthing-
ton there is no greater halo than that
which hangs over the Griswold inn. 1t
was built in 1906 by Ezra Griswold,
who came from Connecticut with the
pioneers who settled much of the west
ern reserve and central Ohio.
The family was an old one even for
old Connecticut. and Ezra Griswold
was n sturdy representative of it. He
brought his family into the great
west with him, and his son, George
Griswold, was reared in the inn. He
was eight years old when his father
brought him to Ohio.
George Griswold, in turn, inherited
the duty of perpetuating the name.
and when his father died he fell heir
to the inn property and lived through
out his life where his father had
bulded so well. His son was Worth
ington Franklin Griswold, who, as his
| father had done, inherited the inn and
! lived in it.
To him and his good wife was born
a daughter Harriet. who was reared in
the old home of the family, and who
continued to live there when she be
came Mrs Mccullough.
Now she is the happy mother of a
son. and she is rocking him in the
| Griswold cradle that was brought to
/ Ohio along with other household pos
| sessions, by Ezra Griswold when he
| drove his OK team overland from Con
necticut in 1906.
No one knows how long the unique
7 family before that time, but it is sup
/ posed that Ezra Griswold was himself
rocked in it when he was a babe long
before revolutionary times.
When little Edward Griswold McCul-
lough is baptized, he will wear little
white dress that was made for the bap
tismal ceremony of his grandfather, by
his eat-grandmother-a dress that
has been handed down in the family
with great care, and which will be
treasured more dearly than ever
when another epoch has been noted
in its history. 's fra-

EYEsIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-Baby's Head
Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then had her under our family doc
tors care. but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old l started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,
