sn.eial Train for Sake Of Babe.

Tilden Citizen: The only child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruno Hansen was taken
suddenly with an attack OF illness
which threw the little fellow into a
convulsive state last Friday. Medical
attendance was at once procured and
the doctor diagnosed the case as quite
grave, involving the telescoping of one
of the bowels. The direct cause of the
trouble was traced to the eating of an
acid cherry. A surgical operation be-
ing urgent. and DR.. Campbell absent,
a special train was secured to take the
parents and the little sufferer to Oma'
ha.
Specialists in that city conceded
with the opinion of DR.. Barr, but de-
cided to defer operating until other
treatment was applied. For about
twenty.four hours the child seemed to
be improving and the hopes of the
anxious relatives in Tilden were cor
respondingly raised But Geographic
dispatch on Monday afternoon, asking
T. K. Hansen to go to Omaha at once
was equivalent to the announcement
that change for the worse had TAX
en- place. This fear was justified in
the evening by telephone communi-
cation to the effect that the little fell
low expired at o'clock. The be.

"Other states may raise a greater

grains our yield per acre is away yon-

all the states. We've got EN- all beat

boast of our agricultural resources,
but agriculture is no longer our sole

in Nebraska-and when we get wise
to our opportunities we will do more.
In 1908 Nebraska manufacturing plants
and industries turned out $151, 100000
worth of manufactured goods from
raw material raised mostly in Nebras-
ka. That was $20,0O00O0 more than
the value of our live stock in 1908.
Men engaged in mechanical pursuits,
including transportation, received up
ward of s20,000000 in wages in Ne
braska in 1908. Ever stop to think
what a great variety of articles we
