Powe, trustee, against the Bridgeport Yacht club It has been known for some time that the club was in financial trouble and in this action the court is asked to allow a foreclosure on the Black Rock clubhouse, which has been the scene of so much social activity.

NONE TO IDENTIFY
 CAARRED CORPSE.
Suspicion of Murder Dissi- pated By Investigation
 of Authorities

Although no clues to support tho theory of foul play have been dtScOv- cred in the finding Of the badly charred body of an unknown man yesterday on the mud flats back of the Crane Valve Co.'S Wesc End plant, Dr. S. M. GarlfclC, medical ex- aminer, has not yet accepted acci- dental death by burning as the cause He is awaiting new developments be- fore making a, finding. In the absence of clues he is inclined to believe that death was accidental resulting from his clothing catching fire when he placed a lighted pipe in his pocket.
 Although a number have called at the morgue in an attempt to discover the identity of the man there have been no one who has recognized him It is thought that Identification may be made from persons calling this af- ternoon when many of the factories have a half holiday. Attorney w. W Bent, regent of Seaside council, Royal Arcanum, was among those calling at the morgue and identified the ''V- M c. 1105' ring as a Royal Arcanum symbol. This signifies little, both he and the authorities realizing that he may have picked up the ring or that 1t may have been dropped there by some one else.
 Police detectives. working on the case today, are inclined to place ac- c1dental as the cause or desLn- OltS reason advanced is that there was a quantity of tobacco ash found in one clenched hand Had death preceded his being placed there. they say. the ash would have been blown away or shaken loose.
 No autopsy has yet been performed and it is likely that none will be- Dr. GarIicx believes that the hole found in the lower abdomen is a. result of the flames burning through the flesh rather than a result of a possible stab wound.

EXTRA SUM NEEDED FOR CHARITIES DEPT

Extra appropriations amounting to $8, ,611.25 were asked by the board of charities from the board of apportion> ment at a special meeting of that body held in the common council chamber today. Superintendent Cor don of the charities department was present to explain why the money was needed.
 The board finds it will need $2ooe more to pay house rent during the winter for the outside poor now on its books There is needed $2, III .55 for the care of Bridgeport patients at the shelton state tuberculosis sanatorium and $3, 900 for the care of city tubercu- Iosis patients at st. Vincent's hospital. There is need of $1. 500 for the care of the outside poor in other towns.
 Mayor Wilson explained that be- cause of the recent court decision in the John c. Chamberlain case he thought Bridgeport was divided as formerly into two tax districts and for this reason the board would have to move and adjust the tax rate in some way. Because of the large mum Der of transfers asked and many changes in appropriations it was voted to adjourn until Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. The meeting today was called at 12:3O in the common coun- ciI chamber.
 Besides the extra appropriations the charities board asked to be all lowed to transfer $2oo from the fer tilizer feed account. $1OO from farm tools, hardware, etc, and $50 from the liquor account at the Lakeview home to the ambulance and emer- gency hospital account
 The board also asked the following other transfers: $50 from Lakeview supplies; $100 from Lakeview home drug account; .$9O from Lakeview dis infectant account to ambulance and emergency hospital dressings: S75 from disinfectant account to emergen- cy hospital uniforms, towels and laun- dry; $500 from Lakeview supplies to groceries for outside poor; $500 from horse ambulance to care of epi1eptics; $500 from clothing, hats, etc, at Lakevtew; $1O0 fish account at Lake view and $1O0 care of horse ambu- lance to care of children of outside poor. The board also asked that $650 be appropriated from the contin- gency fund to pay for a nurse at the emergency hospital.

The best menus for u dairy cow
formed portion of the dairy exhibit

week at the University of Nebraska.

three pounds of cotton seed meal, -four
pounds of corn meal, ten pounds oil

pounds Of butter. Four COWS of the
University herd Lave even a more re.
'marksble record. LaMay, Roxanna,
Yetta Gerben and Katy Gerben have
an average record of 20,6s0 pounds Of
milk and $40 pounds of butter. The
most remarkable COW Of the herd,
however, is LaMay with record for
one day of 09.l pounds of milk: for
one month, 2,s77 pounds; and for one
year, 2G,GG0 pounds. The butter re-
cord is 967 pounds. Considering the
fact that the average Nebraska COW
gives but 1000 pounds OF milk annual
ly and but 1877 pounds of butter fats,
the records in the University herd are
not only remarkable facts, but show
what can be done with proper breed
ing and care. All of the cows were
bred and developed at the state farm.

Editor Chief
You say the investment was good
one to vote the si7 800 rail road bonds.
1t cost Webster county about $4,000
absolutely uncalled for. In fact when
you consider the money spent for cleo
ton and the many acres of land that
were given away one way and another,
we can't estimate how much it cost the
taxpayers. For this reason it was un
called for. The B. 81 M had to start
out from Hastings to make it pay to
run that short distance. Any man
with common sense knew il would be
only Il question of one or two years
before some rail road company would
build Il rail road up that glorious Re-
publican valley. 1t was too good u
thing to let the opportunity lay, and
you bet they would have built it with
out bonds.
We did not need rail road very bad
for few years, because we had a good
home market for all we raised
Another reason was that congress
donated the county ali land from range
8 to range II, il / am not mistaken,
free. Now was it not reasonable that
by capturing the grand Republican
valley clear to Denver, heading off
any other company, aud had for II
width of 40 miles pararell to do it. A
big profit to them to enhance the value
of their lands from start to finish
nearly 5000 acres Of land in our
county alone. If am not mistaken i,

Tango is to be the rage in Edinburgh

Such Is plain statement in conven-
tional language, which is all the more
emphatic because Of it's directness
In fact, all Scotland is in the grip OF
the tango craze. 1t has spread to
Scottish bathrooms, and is suppressed
ing the waltz and the two-step. Soon
the fascinating importation from the
Argentine, say the authorities, will
blot every other dance out OF the ball
room program.
Tango as taught in Edinburgh by al

MONEY FROM CHICKEN FARM
California Woman Has Proved That
Such an investment May Be
Made to Pay Well.

Mrs. Annie Beasley recently saw the
possibilities of chicken farming, and
she turned to California for an ideal
climate. She started with small cot
tage and one acre of ground-but she
started right. Today she owns a ranch
of several acres and confesses she has
an annual income Of handsome proper
tions.
Her first flock consisted of one
rooster and seven hens, but all were
pure bred-bought at the Los Angeles
poultry show. That year she had only
two chicken houses, but the next year
increased them to four, and the follow
ing to eight. Now she has big ranch,
but the strain Of her poultry has al.
ways been kept pure, so her prize win
ners are worth the S25 she charges for
them-and they eat no more corn than
mongrels.
Incubators and breeders are kept
running all the year except in July
August and September, and the little
fiocks, as they come along, are divid
ed for shows and shops. The perfect
specimens are ready TO be groomet
with washings and b,uing, and the
others receive three times a day al
they win eat of milk, oatmeal and
grain to fatten them. Mrs. Beaslcy
has found that 1t is even more profit
oble to sell egg at SO setting than a,
GO cents a dozen.

could be made much more attractive
during the summer months IL more
flowers were planted and cared for
The school grounds, the court house
grounds and even the terraces along
private residences could be easily
planted so that our city would indeed
be n city beautiful. If we do not take
pride in our own city no one else will.

IL has been suggested number OF
times that this city could realize u
good profit from small investment
by using the exhaust steam from the
power house to make artitlc al ice. In
view of the improbable Of any
natural ice being put up this winter
this suggestion is meeting with good
deal Of favor. We are informed that
enough steam escapes to manufacture
all the ice that this city could con
sumo. This being the case we believe
that 1t would be well for the city Off
Gals to investigate it and see what
can be done.
