"Reminiscences,

The filing OF an affidavit to
the effect that Christ will re-
turn 70 earth in 1912 reminds
We Editor that II is but TWEEN
ty-two years since John Alex
ander Dowie shook the dust
OF Omaha off his consecrated
feet and journeyed TO Chicago,
where a ripper field awaited
the thrust OF his evangelical
sickle. Dowie had given
Omaha the chance, and II
would have but very little OF
him. He left an agent here,
after announcing himself as
the vicar of God. clothed with
all the powers OF divinity,
and delegated to that agent
authority TO bind and loose, to
heal and restore, and 10 90
such other things as were
good for the kingdom OF
DoWie. But the agent soon
tired OF the game, and got an
other church in another state,
and the Dowie business went
TO smash. The filing of the
affidavit just reminds us that
TINS Is not the first ebulition
Of DoWieism that Omaha has
withstood.

Wire Grass Valuable

A new industry, the cutting Of wire grass,
has developed. In northern Minnesota in
the last year. The grass has been found
to be valuable for mating and similar pur
poses, and a big company has bought ny
large tracts of it. The cutting is now in
progress and 100 men are at work in the
different camps. The grass is cut and al
lowed to cure and is then stacked before
being prepared for shipment to the factory.
The grass is sorted-and the full lenth grass
is worth as high as $50 ton at the fac
tory. The medium length grass is worth
much less and the short length grass is
sold to shippers at about IS a ton to be
used for packing.

voyage to this country. From 1904 to 1907
he spent his time exploring the Canadian
coasts. and. returning for a third voyage

ages to France.
In 1929 he was forced to surrender to an

1t is the fault of women that these five

ignorant of what they ought to know, of
what they have got to do. It's not a matter
Nof temperament; it's a matter OF ignorance

of any life partnership.
II gives me the woozies to hear some

sane insistenee upon reversing or disre-
garding nature that makes the mischief.

used to call others, and within a few
minutes the building was surrounded

Marshal Burg ran to the store, sur
prising the man who had been left
on guard outside and preventing him
from warning his confederates.
The guard managed to elude the Of

Citizens pursued him for a short dis
lance, and then returned to the post-
Office, replacing the grating and cut

In the basement. When more helm ar

an elder brother from death by suf-

the bottom OF a wen that they, both
already rendered unconscious by the
deadly gas fumes, might be raised to

The father had first gone into the
well, and when suspicion was aroused
upon his failure to show any sign of
life, ole Moe, his oldest son, descend
ed into the well to see what was
wrong, and he, too, became overcome
with the gas.
Edward Moe and his mother, the
only remaining persons on the farm,
then entered into plan of rescuing
the other members Of the family, and
Edward was in turn lowered into the
well which had already made helpless
his father and brother. His brother,
for whom greater hope was entertain
ed, was first raised after a rope had
been fastened about his body, and then
the father was brought up. and both
regained consciousness after some lit

UNKNOWN man
DEAD in TRACKS
BODY FOUND MONDAY MORNING
TWO MILES EAST OF
ELDRlDGE.

jamestown, N. d., Aug. 1.-The bad
~ mutilated body Of an unknown man
was found on the N. F.. tracks two
miles east OF Eldridge yesterday. 1t
is supposed that he fell from train
No. 2 and was cut to pieces beneath
the wheels.
After the body was brought to the
undertaking rooms Of Eddy Proctor in
this city, men we're found who posi-
lively identified him as man they
saw shaving with jackknife at Dick
inson. Sunday. AT the time. the men
say, he was boasting of being able
to ride one rod, a feat seldom at
Grams Of the road. The men said
they did not believe that he dared
to do this although he said he came
into Dickinson that way, but later a
car repairer who was supposed to be
companion Of the dead man verb
fed the story, the men said, and de-
clared that he was SO numb that the
car repairer had to nelp him off the
rod there. These men believe he was
repeating this dangerous act and fell
to his death.
The dead man is estimated as "a
years old and is believed to be Ger
man. In his pockets was found small
notebook containing the address, Aug.
Wasnoniz, S71S Commercial Ave-, Chi
cago, ILL.," "A wire has been sent to
that address and the body will be held
here awaiting a reply.

trial part of the county will have much
better than two-thirds crop.
Corn and flax are fine. The general
