now establishing a q. A. r. colony.
Another large sale of land was just
made to the publishers of appeal to

now busy building and clearing land.
Some 10000 acres have already been
sold in small farms I'm this tract by

So successful have been the farm
ers at Hastings and other potato
growing sections in st. Johns county
this year that the returns have sur
passed all past records and in some
instances are almost incredible. Mr..
w. &. Middleton cleared from two
acres at COlee $3.50 net. To plant
and harvest the crop he spent $3.50
and he received for the same 500,
leaving him "a clear profit OF 1916 per
acre. The corn crop to come will
still further swell the profits from
this two acres. The potatoes raised
i'm this field were of the fist quality
and brought the highest market
price. Record, st. Augustine.

NEXT FRIDAY WILL BE
''CARNAT|ON DAY"
To Honor Memory of the Late
President Mckinley.
January 20 Will Mark the Anniversary
of His Birth. A Pretty
Observance.

Wear a carnation next Friday,
Jan. 90, in memory of our martyred
president, the late William Nc
Kinley who ia his life time was
passlonately fond of flowers, but
particularly the carnation, and was
seldom seen without one in the lapel
of his coat.
His was one of the sweetest, gent
lest and kindest natures that ever
occupied the white house, and his
death by the bullet of an assassin,
in times of peace, just when he had
won the hearts of the entire people
of this country, regardless of sec
ton or party, renders his memory
one never to be forgotten.
This custom of wearing carna-
ton as a tribute to bis memory was
inauguarated five years ago and
should be generally observed
throughout the land.

Obituary Gardner Pritchett

Gardner Pritchett. brother of
Mrs. Theo. Calvin and Mrs J. W.
Hurlburt, OF TINS city, died on Fri
day, Jan. 8 1909 at Hastings, Neb..
aged 81 years, 2 mont tbs and days.
He leaves a wife and two daughters
both married
Mr.. PritcE EFT was born in Grant,
county, Wisconsin, November 1,
1852. In the ear 1876 he was mar
ried to Miss Bessie Oates. To this
union seven children were born, of
which number five survive, two of.
whom are married. In 1888 Mr..
and Mrs. Pritchett removed from
Wisconsin to Hastings. They lived
in that city about three years. In
the spring of 1890 they moved to.

HAYES, conductor; Dan Rooney,
engineer; Floyd w. Long. firemen
and F. W. Smith and E. r. Kutzer,
brakemen, all testified that none of
them had seen Mr.. Woodruff, either
before or after they struck him. They
said that the cause of their stopping
was break in an air pipe under the
engine boiler. This break automati
calIy caused the train to come to a
stop. After repairing the pipe as
best they could they went on and
not until the next day did they
know anything of Mr.. Woodruff s
death.
Drs. Critchlow and J. w. Doolittle
testified as to the natuIe of his in
juries. They stated that both arms
were broken and that the other in
juries were mainly about the head.
1t was probable Judging from the
appearance of a long scalp wound
that some sharp projection on the
side of the train struck him first on
the head. Perhaps he was then
hurled to the ground, breaking both
of his arms. After careful ex-
animation. however, none of these
injuries showed definitely just how
death came.
These witnesses having testified the
jury was in a position to bring their
verdict. After careful consideIa-
tion. on Saturday afternoon the fol-
lowing verdict was rendered:
That Albert Jr. Woodruff died be-
tween the hours of p. IN Wednes
day and a. IN. Thursday on the right
of way of the G. & N. W. between
the third and fourth crossings and
about 1900 feet to the westward Of
said fourth crossing, that death was
caused by his being hiG by a work
train accidentally at a point about
900 feet from the said fourth cross
ing and from exposure, thereafter,
without the fault of any person so
far as we can determine.
MI w OOQIuA was nOd1A JOnAS
of age at the time of his death. He
was a native of Grant county having
been born in the town Of Lima. For
the greater part of his life he had en-
gagedsin farming but for some time
had lived with his mother in this
city. For a while he conducted a
restaurant in the building now &C.
cupied by c. w. Burrows. He was
we'll known for his honesty and
whole heartedness and was consider
ed one of the good men of the
town.
He is survived by a sorrowing
mother, besides other relatives
throughout the county. Funeral
services were held at the home on
Saturday, at noon and interment
took place Sunday in the Wing ceme-
terry. Rev. Verran, of Montfort,
oficiated.

Two Tons of Dust and Nuggets Just as
Found in Mines Disap-
pears at Night.

Sea tile Jan. "a. One million dollars
in virgin gold that will sink automati-
cally every night into steel vault to
reappear with the same precision IN
the morning will be the central
feature of the Alaska exhibit at the

fractions on the exposition grounds.
The gold pavilion, where the million
dollars will be on display, will be
enclosed with heavy wire cage and
special guards will patrol the section
night and day to protect the treasure.
The large steel vault, built in solid
concrete, will operate automatically
on time lock. Each night at the
closing hour the two tons of gold will
disappear and the steel and concrete
top will slide into place leaving moth
ing in view but the smooth surface of
the floor. The time lock will be set
for the opening hour in the morning
when the treasure will reappear. The
construction of this vault will cost
81, 900.
In the gold exhibit are three OF the
largest nuggets ever found in Alaska
They were taken from the famous
pioneer mine at Nome and the total
value of the three is slightly in ex-
cess of 81, 900. 1t is proposed to have
the largest of these three nuggets ar
ranged so that visitors may pick 1t up
and the big yellow lump will pass
through thousands of hands during the

Tanana River, Copper River and
Alaska districts are all
represented. In addition to the gold
many of the mine owners of the Nome
and Fairbanks camps will also have
of pay dirt, gravel, red rock
aud black sand. The exhibit will be
in excess of two tons of pure gold,

Last summer Mrs. Vic. Galloway
shipped to Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Eyers in North Dakota, a box of
household goods, or rather she
thought she did. Anyway she took
it to the railway station, got bill
of lading for it which she sent to
Mr.. Eyers. After a time the goods
did not show up in North Dakota
and Mr.. Eyers wrote back here to
know the cause of delay. A tracer
failed to locate them on the road,
and then they were given up as
lost.
Some little time ago person
came to the station here and asked
if anybody had lost a box of house
hold goods. saying that neighbor
of his, down near Boydtown, had
taken a box by mistake from the
freight house in Boscobel, and had
it at his house. An investigation
proved that he had the goods, all
right, and had painted the clock
red. to disguise 1t. The pictures,
carpets. pillows and other articles
had been buried in the woods back
of the house. Mr.. Eyers, who re-
