the state when it was a wilderness
and took her share of the burdens in
the days when the foundations were
laid for the great commonwealth of
Nebraska.
Mrs. Harstick was born March IS,
1909, at Steinburck. in the province
of Hanover, Germany. For nearly fifty
years she resided in the Fatherland,
married and together with her hus-
band and children pursued the even
tenor of life. The spirit of unrest,
however, so common to the German
people of their generation impelled
the little family to seek their fortunes
in the land across the sea, and in the
year 1854 they landed on the shores
of America with their small posses
sions. The first settlement made by
this family was at Dubuque, Iowa,
where they resided until the year
1860.
At this time, hearing wonderful
stories OF the fertility and golden
promise of the new Territory of Ne
braska, Mr.. and Mrs. Harstick journ-
eyed to this state. They settled at
what was at that time the outpost of
civilization, locating on the virgin
prairie in what is now St. Charles
township, Cunning county, conceded at
this time to be one of the wealthiest
and most highly improved townships
of farm land in the State of Nebraska.
This family was among the first set
tiers of this township. and during the
twenty years following their settle
nent took leading part in the build
iig of churches, schools and the gen.
eral improvements of their new home.

Bile hetacombs of elephants in Africa.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 ele-
phants fall annually before the guns of
these ruthless Nimrods. That num-
Der does not include the animals kill
ed by natives. No doubt Colonel
Roosevelt will not admit the full num-
Der of elephants he killed on his re-
cent trip. 1t is not to be expected
that he was satisfied with taking the
lives of only few of these animals,
whose skins and tusks are to be sent
to the Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ington, to be mounted.
I'VE intend to put an end to this
wholesale slaughter. no matter whether
former presidents of the United States
or others are thereby deprived of the
opportunity to exercise their hunting

ephants in Africa. One, domesticated

work of thirty men. Suppose you kill
an elephant. 1t yields about 1900
pounds of flesh and fifty pounds of
ivory. A r4pid calculation will show
that il all the 10000 elephants were
massacred, only about $4O,O0O,ODO

kept alive and profit made from their

A City Free From Tuherculosls.
From the Newark Star.

The optimistic prediction that tuber>
culosis will be eradicated in Newark
in the next ten years is more of a
hope than promise. To accomplish
that result more energetic work must
be done under public anr private aus
pieces. Laws and ordinances are good
enough as long as they are strictly
carried out. Faith and zeal must be
supplemented by hard and PERSISTENT
work. There is a great task to per-
form In the education Of the people.
Tenement life must be vastly improv-
ed over prtsent conditions, and to that
end there must be a tlysimproved
system of tenement house inspection.
There must be larger appropriations
for hospitals and camps. The legisla-
ture has thus far exhibited Indifferent
interest. and its appropriations have
been scanty. Effective state aid is
necessary. II will be well to talk
about a city free from tuberculosis af-
