Sacrifice in Vain.
Apropos Of examinations and their ter
rors, A. Z. Palmer, secretary OF the depart
ment of education OF New York. told at a
recent dinner an old story OF a young
african prince.
This prince" said Mr.. Palmer, entered
Yale or Harvard-I forget which-and
amused himself with motor cars and bull
dogs till examination time drew near.
Examination time frightened the young
prince horribly. He began to study, and he
cabled home to the king, his father:
Examination next week, Most difficult.
Implore aid of gods in my behalf
"A few days later this reply came back
from the barbarous west coast monarch:
Rites performed. Fourteen picked
youths. all sons OF mobiles, have been sac
rificed. Omens propitious.'

concluded. This young prince flunked."-

require by any means all the grain pro-
duced on these farms. as last year these
farmers sent to market &2,OO bushels Of
corn, 259, 900 bushels OF wheat and 10000
bushels Of oats. Besides this, the county
manufactured and shipped out A230,O00
pounds of flour and 300, OO pounds Of mill
feed.
The Nance county farmer is becoming
more OF a dairyman each year. The pos
sibilities of this industry are almost un-
limited in Nebraska and this county Is a
favored section for the dairy. At the pres
ent time there are 6,652 COWS within the
borders of the county, where 800 hand sep
Rrators are in use. Last year there were
sold and shipped out from these farms
81. 495 pounds of butter and 14,0O gallons
Of cream. The recent large increase in
the dairy industry comes largely from the
fact that the county has $500 acres of Ian
seeded to alfalfa, which is proving one Of
the best and most profitable crops that
the farmer can produce. Each year these
farmers are paying more and more at
tention to the smaller resources and in
dustries connected with the farm. Last
year this county marketed 5000 dozens Of
eggs and 100, 900 pounds Of dressed poultry.
The farmers garden Is receiving more
attention from year to year, and from the
earliest settlement these farmers have not
neglected the planting of fruit trees. At
the present time there are growing and In
full bearing in the county $1,000 apple, l 20
pear, 1900 peach, 5000 plum and 1l,00)
cherry trees. In an automobile ride
through the Loup valley of Nance county
and covering some of the upland we were
surprised, not only at the orchards Of full
grown trees, but the vast amounts OF
young orchards of better grade Of fruit
that are being planted.
While there are vast improvements going
on all over the county in orchards, farm
buildings and methods of filling the soil,
the Improvement that is being made by
breeding a better grade Of cattle and horses
is one Of the most marked and far-reachlng
in the county. In visiting the farms and
feeding pens, where hundreds of cattle
are kept, we have found but few locali-
ties in the state that produce as well bred
cattle for the Omaha market as Nance
county.

--HE story Of Nance county and
T Of the Pawnee Indian are in
separable. The Indian held the
- center OF the stage in this part
sMNIWH OF Nebraska, as he had the
S best land. He did not under
stand the use of that land, and II passed
from him to the white man, who could
and would use It. But the government
made the best provision possible for the
red man, and besides it's care for him In
other ways has sought to provide him
with proper and thorough Industrial train
ing. 1t is at once the cornerstone Of the
Indians prosperity and happiness and the
key OF every door OF success open to
him. Nance county has the only govern
ment Indian boarding school in the state.
For twelve months of the year the govern
ment has eighty-one boarding schools and
17 day schools for Indians in operation In
different parts OF the country, and these
schools are the homes of more than q, 900
children. These pupils are taught, fed
and clothed. To watch over and care for
them in sickness and in health, 2.175 perl
sons are employed. AS the destruction Of
the buffalo was the beginning Of the end
OF the Indians aimless wanderings. so a
compulsory school law would sound the
keynote Of his civilization.
A vast deal Of talk is heard about the
Indians being civilized off the face of the
earth. One reads that he is fast disap.
pearing. and that soon there will be only
traces of him. The Indian population Of
the United States is about 26s, 900, and as a
matter Of fact. It has diminished very
little, II at all, since the landing Of Column
bus. The total expenditures of the gov
eminent on account OF the Indian service,
from 1859 to 1900, amounts to more than
S36S, 900. 900. More money has been paid to
extinguish Indian land titles than to ex-
tinguish the titles of foreign nations, and
the cost Of our Indian wars has bee equal
to the cost of all our foreign wars.
1t is costing the government between two
and three million dollars a year to educate
the Indian, while formerly 1t cost the
government from ten to twelve million
dollars n year to fight them. These fig
ures make II plain that the Indian has
been a very expensive ward of the gov
eminent and the sooner he becomes self
supporting. the better. II has been demon
strated that he is not lacking in intelli-
gence and that he can become a good

was TO strike the old Mormon trail that

Thus the city has Jared well, and its
citizens have always shown a modern en-

M'CARREN'S ESTATE
 IS NOT LARGE

New York. Oct 2s-Friends of the late Senator Patrick H. McCarren have expressed the belief that when his will is filed for probate it will ap- pear that he left a comparatively small estate. They think it might not amount to more than s50,000 after the liabilities have discharged.
 It is understood that the Senator left his property in trust for his aged <ncother. Samuel s. Whitehouse, who drew the will and is one of the execu- tors. will probably. file the document in the Surrogates' Court either tomor- row or Saturday.
 Senator McCarren is known to have made and lost large sums of money. For several years, it is said, he did not have much success in picking winners at the race tracks, and some of his Wall Street ventures were not profit able to him. Because of the large business transactions he engaged in it was quite generally believed that he possessed a large fortune.
 This belief was not borne out, how ever, by the disclosure which followed the failure last year of the Consoli- dated Exchange house of Ennis & Stoppani. When the receiver got. at the brokers books he found that Sen ator McCarren's account had been car ried for two years with a heavy debt balance, and the Senator was conn pelled to settle at a net loss of about $100, 0,O0O-I
 It was never definitely learned that the Senator himself had to put up for the loss In order to take up his ac- count in which large losses in ATnad- gaDlated Copper and Brooklyn Rapid Transit were shown it was necessary to turn over to the receiver $450, GOO in cash, which represented the then mar ket value of the stock, upon payment of which the shares he was supposed to own were delivered. This sum was supplied by a Stock Exchange firm in the form of a certified check, and the brokers took up the shares.
 As far as the record showed none of the Senator's money figured in the deal. One of his friends said yester- day that the transaction really only involved the borrowing of $50, GOO above the market value of the securities

Springfield. Mass, Oct 28-Follow- ing the exodus of the Greek strike breakers from Ludlow last night under cover of darkness, the strike situation to-day is apparently unchanged No attempt was made to open the mills this morning and the strikers are maintaining peaceable attitude. This state of affairs cannot last, however The company has served notice on the police that it will give the authorities 48 hours in which to furnish adequate protection for the operation of the mills. It is stated by those in posi- ton to know, that the company in- tends to start up again Monday. Should the movement be made with the imported help, renewal of the rioting is certain to follow.
