Trout of All Varieties to Be mcubated
Before Visitors Eyes.
EXHIBIT FROM STATE FISHERIES
To show what state OF Nebraska q
Doing to Help Out the settlers in
Western Part OF the state
win Game Fish.

Fish are recognized as among the great
resources OF the west and they viii be
exhibited at the coming and shcw to be
held in Omaha next month. Fish are a
great asset TO any country and the western
pIains abound with large supplies Of these
OF the best variety known TO man.
When the doors OF the Western Land
Products Exhibit are thrown open the
public will be able to see as cne fish
exhibit as can be found anywhere This
VIII come ab0ut thra1 e arrangement
made by the managers Nof the show with
W. ]. O'Brien. deputy state nsh commits
sioner OF Nebraska Mr. O'Brian viii bring
a large and varied exhibit OF fish to the
land show TO Illustrate the work which he
Is now doing IN stocking the streams OF
Nebraska with different kinds OF trout and
cat fish.
The land show comes at a most oDpor-
tune time for the exhibition OF the fish.
for that is the time OF the year when
trout are hatching- Large trOughs will be
used 70 show the trout in the different
stages OF incubation and lecturers will ex-
plain the methods used for the artificial
Matching OF trout and black bass. For this
large tanks with fresh running water are
required and the water viii be filtered 50
that all may see the splendid exhibits
which Mr.. O'Brien viii bring TO the land
show.
Fish will be Matched at the land show
Just as they are at the state fisheries,
where hundreds OF Thousands are Eatched
each year for distribution over the state
In the various trout streams. The aru-
fetal fertilization will be shown and the
various processes through which the eggs
are taken before they become full fedged
fry.
All kinds of Fish shown.

well as the smallest geld fish. which are
also grown at the hatcheries. making the
exhibit most complete. Lecturers viii ex-
plain how the black bass breed and what
precautions must be taken TO preserve
these game fish.
The management Of the land show has
been 70 a great expense to secure this re-
markable exhibit as the tanks owned by
the state are placed in permanent brick
building al the state fair grounds at Lin
coin and new tanks must be secured. The
exhibit viii be placed along the west wall
OF the basement of the Auditorium where
the show Is 70 be held.
Commissioner o Brien was in Omaha
Wednesday TO help arrange for the exhibit.
He was most enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
ton OF showing the fish at the coming
land show for he said IL was a real
educational feature and would give the
visitors an opportunity % see the work
that was being done % stock the streams
OF Nebraska with food producing fish.
The streams Of northwestern Nebraska
are especially adapted to trout while
the streams In the eastern part are laden
with catfish. There ara also many lakes
in Nebraska which are natural spots f0r
black bass. Carter lake is an example OF
these as has been SHOWN by the way the
fish Mr.. o Brien has planted from year 20
year have grown and accumulated.

COMMENCED TO MOVE MODERATELY
Warehouse Opening. Tobacco Deliver,
and Shipment

The Bekkedal warehouse was the
only one in Viroqua to open its doors
to workers in sorting on Monday last
Because of non-delivery of the weed
other packers have considered it best
to wait for more goods before COM
mencing operations. There is delay in
placing tobacco in bundle, caused by
extreme cold. The first delivery of any
considerable moment came last Friday
when two carloads were received and
shipped to outside packing points by M.
l.. Carrier.
Operations at other points are thee
recorded in the Edgerton Tobacco Re-
porter: The severe winter weather that
has set in is proving quite a serious
hindrance to the work of preparing the
tobacco crop for market, as stripping
is conducted under difficulties Grow
ers who had taken their crops down
from the poles find the bulks frozen and
must wait for warmer weather. The
greater part of the crop in some sec
tons, however, is still hanging in the
curing sheds with no signs of casing
weather in sight. Whether there is
enough of the crop ready for delivery
to keep the packing houses in opera
ton Is question.
Zero weather and a holiday week
have conspired to interrupt the buying
movement somewhat since last report
and yet some buyers are Drawing the
elements and adding to their holdings
A stronger effort r. secure the better
class of tobacco is noticeable, for which
something like earlier prices are being
paid, or to ii cents.
Deliveries of the new crop have come

week and warehouse work will be com
menced by number of packers the

LAID TO REST

Death came somewhat Unexpectedly
to Mrs. Rebecca Lindemann, one of the
Oldest residents of this city, on We'd
nesday of last week, at 500 a. m. For
several weeks she had been in very
poor health and for a time her life was
despaired Of, but she had rallied and it
was hoped that she would get well A
sudden change for the worse early on
Wednesday morning gave warning that
the end was near.
Mrs. Lindemann was born in West
Virginia, February 2S, 1888. When
but nine years of age she was left an
orphan and from that time till her mar
rage she lived with relatives. In 1857
she came west to this city. Here on
September 26, 1858, she was united in
marriage to VIM +. Lindemann. With
the exception of one year spent in Spar
Ia and two years at West Prairie their
home was Viroqua. The home in which
she died was her residence for twenty
three years. The husband, who since
1879 had been in the banking business,
passed away December 10, 1901 To
them were born five children. Mary
died in 1872, when but two and one
half years old The remaining children,
all living in this city, are Henry, Albion,
Mrs Regina Trowhridge and William
In Mrs. Lindemann's earlier life she
joined the Presbyterian church. Her
faith in her Savior has been in beauti-
full manner characterized by her honor
able, sincere, unassuming and gentle
life. She was great lover of the pure
and elevating in the characters of 9TH
ers. Her home was her sanctuary; her
joy was in her family; she was per-
feet mother.
The last services for the dead were
held at the home on Friday afternoon,
the last day of 1909, conducted by Revs.
c. E. Buffers and G w. Nuzum. The
large number of beautiful flowers be-
spoke the brighter life to which she had
been translated. The last resting place
WAS beside the husband in the Viroqua

The passing minutes from old to q
