ROSE FOR GRAVE OF LEFT LEG.
Major Tate Is ON His Annual Pill
grimage to Gettysburg.

In pursuance of a custom that has
come to be almost a solemn rite,
Major George Tate, U. S. A. Gre
tired), has left Lenox, Mass, to
make his annual visit to the grave
of his left leg, which, shot off in
action, is buried on the battlefield
at Gettsburg.
Major Tate, who is now an inter-
nal revenue officer, served through
the war with signal honor and dis
tinction until his leg was shot off
at Gettysburg.
When told that he must lose the
member after the battle he made ar
rangements to have it buried on the
battlefield. A stone, subsequently
erected, now marks the grave of the
gallant majors leg,
Since then not a year has passed
that Major Tate, no matter how
pressing his duties, has not gone to
Gettysburg to lay a red rose on the
grave of his lost member.

Hundreds of Head of Stock Are Dy-
ing on the Gulf Coast.
The entire Gulf coast from the
mouth of the Atchafayala river to
the Texas line at Sabine Pass, says
Lake Charles, La, dispatch, is still
suffering terribly from the plague of
large mosquitoes. The little pests
made their appearance soon after the
recent Galveston storm, and have
been constant nuisance since. Hun
dreds of head of cattle have been
killed, principally young calves. The
animals are kept on a constant move.
Many of the younger members of
the herds become exhausted and fall
behind, only to be set upon by black
swarms of mosquitoes. 1t is said
that more stock has been killed by
mosquitoes recently than was claimed
by the late epidemic, Charlton, the
cattle disease among the stock of the
gulf coast.
Persons residing on the gulf coast
south of Lake Charles are compelled
to go to bed at dark each evening
and get under doubled mosquito
bars. Never in time passed has this
section ever been visited by such
plague, and it's existence this year
cannot We accounted for.

These experts will devote their time
to the best methods known to the

GRIEF CAUSED HIS DEATH
AN EX-BURGLAR FOLLOWS HIS
pal" TO THE GRAVE.
LOnnie Egbert, Convict For Fourteen
Years, Is Stricken at News of
His Benefactor's Death.


KEARNEY, N. FRANK Alonzo
Egbert, reformed burglar and high
wayman, who is known to the police
all over the country as "Lonnie''
Egbert, died of heart disease at his
home, 81 Harrison avenue.
His death, according to his widow
and the physician who attended him,
was fastened by the sudden end of
his benefactor and late partner in
business, Joseph Fisher, who fell
dead of the same disease at Ocean
Grove a few days ago.
The shock Frustrated Egbert, who
had been apparently in good health
up to the time he heard the news.
Egbert was born in Kearney So
years ago, and he and Fisher were
playmates together as boys. Egbert,
however, at an early age showed a
tendency to run wild, and before he
was Is he had been arrested for
highway robbery and burglary. He
was convicted and sentenced to the
SLaIC dI 1ISALOu.
Served Many Times.
He served his term, and when he
was out at once entered upon ca
reer of crime, which resulted in his
spending in all IA years in prison.
His picture became a part Of the
rOgue's gallery in many prisons, and
he was known as a dangerous man to
detectives all over the country
Fisher as young man became a
collector for Newark brewery, and
later was barkeeper for a number
OF years. In spite of the wayward
habits of his youthful playmate he
remained Egbert's friend through all
his prison career, and gave him what
assistance he could at such times as
he was not behind the bars.
Reformed by Evangelist.
About 10 years ago a nephew of
Egbert's, Alden Sales, who was only
II years old, killed Thomas Hayden,
the paymaster of the Morck Hat Fac
tory, by striking him with a club,
then chloroforming him. The trial
was famous one in New Jersey,
and was bitterly contested, but Egg
bert's nephew was finally sentenced
to the states prison for life, where
he died after three years confine-
ment.
1t was shortly after his nephew's
death that Egbert became impressed
by the teaching of a prison evange-
list at Trenton, where he was serv-
ing sentence, and when he was dis
charged and returned to his home in
Kearney he went at once to his old
friend Fisher and told him that he
had reformed for good.

VAULTS CLOSED TO VISITORS.
Theft of Two Silver Dollars Causes
Precautions in Treasury.

Precautions in Treasury.
When Grover Cleveland was presi-
dent the United States treasury was
robbed of two silver dollars. This
loss, although of no material i'm
portance, was decidedly significant
and measures were taken to prevent
a recurrence.
At this season of the year Wash
ington is crowded with visitors and
tourists, to whom the government
extends welcome. Guides are at
hand to show the visitors through
the various government public build
ings, the working of each department
and subdivision is carefully described
and sightseeing citizens are made to
feel perfectly at h me in the business
houses of the government.
Formerly it was the custom to take
visitors through the vaults in the
treasury building where millions of
dollars are stored. Upon one occa-
sion small boy, tempted by the
immense amount of glittering gold
and silver, cut one of the bags with
his pocket knife and made away with
the two cart Wheels" as the heavy
one-dollar silver pieces are referred
to. Since that time the vaults have
been closed to visitors, excepting
those who get special permission
from the secretary of the treasury.
In the large vault, which is 80 feet
long and 81 feet wide, is stored
$165, 100000 in coin for the redemp-
ton of gold and silver certificates.

DISCOVERY OF TIGHTWADs.
Texas Paper Unearths Triumvirate
of ParsimOnY.


Speaking of tightwads little Tex
as paper has unearthed a triumvirate
of parsimony that make the estima-
BILE Hetty Green look like a green
and giddy young spendthrift, says the
Boston Traveller. 1t says:
1T is reported that three of the
stingiest men in the state were in
town yesterday. One of them will
not drink as much water as he wants
unless it is from another mans well.
The second forbids any of his family
from writing anything but a small
hand, as it is a waste of ink to make
large letters. The third stops his
clock at night in order to save wear
and tear on the machinery. All of
them decline to take their county pa
per on the ground that it is a terrible
strain on their spectacles to read
newspapers even in the daytime"

adoption of a constitutional amendment
"forbidding the taking Of water power

The Vermonter SAYS that by every
moral law ii il wrong to thus take
power away. 1t Affects the value If
every foot Of real estate in the town
from which ii is taken. Therefore every
tax payer, every voter should have
voice in saving where Il should be used

Battery Park for champIaiu Memorial

Ii Is now evident that Vermont and

az 81 the body 81 water beween those
two states that bears bis name. Yer
mont must erect as good a memorial
as it is possible to him on its own ter

the same. On the Vermont commission,
composed Of strong Vermonters, rests
the responsibility of determining the
location and character u that memorial.
Isle Ia Motto is suggested az the most
suitable spot from an historic stand
point and the strength Of its historical
claim cannot BE- disputed. This coun
try has had some experience in histor

LudIow,s Business Attitude.

Ludlow wants new industries, and is
willing to do her part in the securing

The committee sent to Maryland last
week took the most direct way Of get

mediation BY third party and went
straight to the individuals most con-
cerned in the propositions They made
a plain showing OF Ludlow's position
in the matter, corrected some wrong
impressions, and demonstrated the
towns readiness to take care Of the
brush factory proposition In good shape.

from taxation for a period Of years

BARRE STORES READY.

Lest the impression might prevail in
the districts around Barre, whose people
have been won't 10 come to Barre for
their shopping, that, because Of the
labor tie-up, the merchants Of this city
are not prepared for Christmas trade, We
wish to state that shoppers viii find
just as attractive stores and as complete
lines as they are accustomed To see. AZ
a matter Of fact, the merchants had gen
orally stocked up for the holiday trade
before the labor disturbance broke upon
the public, and they, therefore, have the
goods which were ordered at that time
SO shoppers from the outlying districts
will do we'll to follow their custom and
come to Barre during the three weeks
which are now at hand, confident that
there il no better place IN the state for
retail trading.

An ArrnorcIad rless.

IN the Argentine Republic, says a
writer In the Strand Magazine, where
the summers are long and bot. It ia
customary to leave the windows open
both day and night during the hottest
part OF the year. A bird. taking adj
vantage OF this. proceeded TO build q
nest IN my room, tixing Il firmly to one
of the Venetian blinds over the win
dow. The eggs were duly Matched aud
the young birds Hedged. On taking
down the empty nest found II to be
practically armorolad, the outer part
being composed almost entirely OF old
rusty nails woven Ia among the hay.
On counting the nails | found that no
fewer than sixty six had been used, be-
sides some wire and pins taken from
my dressing table. The bird was about
the size Of a robin and very tame.
