The farm hen with her 80 eggs a
year, can do like the tabled ostrich
and hide her head in the sand when
some of the records of the single
comb white leghorns at the Wisconsin
experiment station are given The
best hen ever reported at the station
is leghOrn which has just finished
her years record of 263 eggs. She
was one of an early hatch. and began
laying in the fall instead of the fol-
lowing spring, as do most farm hens
For eight consecutive months, she
laid % eggs or more, and the high
est number was 26. For perseverance
which is not common to all hens
which make high record the first
year the experiment station offers
the record of another leghorn, who
laid 432 eggs in two years. During
the first year she laid 248 eggs; dur
ing the second year, in spite of mott
ing, she laid 184 eggs. Disproving
the theory that high-producing hens
will not produce fertile eggs, A
healthy chicks were Matched from the
hen. 0. n. Johnson of the poultry de-
partment, points out that these rec
ords are especially good when the Sc
we're Wisconsin winter is considered.
No special conditions were given these
record birds, the housing and feed be-
ing those possible under farm condi-
tions. Green feed, plenty of water,
grit and beef scrap or milk, he says
make the line between 80 eggs year
and 263 eggs a year.

Smells Like a StabIe!'
SAYS Girl as Bill Leaves
q" After First Ride

Bill Jones must have been an Iowa
farmer. 1t is certain he does not
dwell within the confines Of Ne.
braska, because he would have
known how to conduct himself on
the elevator yesterday in the Bran
deis building.
Bill Jones is a farmer all right,
because the girl said the elevator
had an odor like a stable when he
alighted.
The lift was crowded with an
early morning crowd fastening to
their offices. Bill stepped in the
cage on the ground floor and wanted
to alight at the sixth floor He
grew intensely excited as the car
shot upwards. Bill thought it was
going to pass his landing.
The commotion began near the
third floor.
/ "Woah, woah, woah," the rustic
one called at the top of a voice
which sounded like a fog horn. Bill
was used to calling hogs across a
forty acre lot. He did not know
how to talk on an elevator. So the
operator got peeved.
Hey there, rough guy, where do
you get that loud stuff on here?" the
girl wanted to know.
Il amt got no ticket, Miss, and
I'm supposed to git off at the sixth
landing" Bill explained to the in
dignant questioner.
well, what do you think / am
a horse? I'll let you off," she re-
torted amid a burst of laughter.
MY names Bill Jones, and / never
rid very much in one of these here
things"
Smells just like a barn." the girl
opined as she banged the gate be-
hind the rural passenger at the sixth
floor.

Thirteen Lucky Number
for GRADUATING Class

Thirteen was a lucky number for
the midterm graduating class at the
South Side High school. Over $275
was taken in at the class play given
Wednesday night-the largest
amount ever realized by any, grad
uating class at South High. And
the class that gave the play was
composed of IS girls.
= James Weber and Fanny Sacks,
who took leading parts drew much
applause. "The Rose of Plymouth"
was staged in such realistic man
ner, that when Mr.. Weber staggered
into the scene, announcing that the
Indians were coming, woman in
the rear of the auditorium emitted
smothered scream. The rest of
the audience laughed, and for a
moment the most dramatic scene of
the play became a comedy, The
youthful actors recovered, however,
and the play went on.

GETS LIFE Term
FOR THE MURDER
OF MAX WHITE
Judge Rediek Imposes Sen
tenCe on John ]. Williams
After the Negro Pleads
Guilty.

John ]. Williams, negro. who con-
fessed to the murder of Max White
at Nineteenth and Charles streets, on
Sunday night, January 9, yesterday
was sentenced to life Imprisonment
at hard labor.
The prisoner appeared before
Judge Rediek in criminal court and
asked to be allowed to enter a plea
of guilty. if the sentence would not
be greater than life imprisonment.
Williams trembled in fear that he
might be sentenced to the electric
chair. The judge informed him that
a plea of guilty to murder in the first
degree might entail either life i'm
prisonment or death. The negro said
he would plead guilty to second de-
gree murder, which plea was accept
ed and sentence imposed forthwith.
Max White, who was slain by Will
liams, was IL years old and a stu
dent at High School of Commerce.
On the night of his death he was
accompanying Miss Libby Minkin
from a lecture at a church, Nine
teenth and Burt streets, TO her home
at 2640 Decatur street. At Nine
teenth and Charles streets White
and his escort were stopped by Will
liams, who announced his intent of
robbery. When commanding his
victims to hold UP their hands White
turned around to protect Miss Min
kin and then Williams fred the fatal
shot. The prisoner, when he con-
fessed, asserted that he did not in
tend to shoot, that the shot was ac-
cidental.
Williams is a young negro, with
almost a boyish face. He came here
from Chicago four months ago, after
having been roustabout with cir

ALLIANCE CLUB
WERE GUESTSOF
CITY ON FRIDAY
Upstate Men Met Here With
Many Boys Of Their Home
Town Who Served With
127th in France.

Headed by c. L. HID 50 members
of the Alliance Nebraska Commun-
ity club spent the day in Omaha
yesterday as guests of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce and Chief
Salter of the Omaha fire department.
The delegation, accompanied by the
Alliance band, was in Lincoln on
January II, then attended the State
Firemen's convention at Fremont,
winding up the pilgrimage with the
visit to Omaha.
They were entertained at the
Chamber of Commerce at luncheon,
and Chief Salter spent the afternoon
showing them Omaha's fire fighting
equipment.
Meet Home Boys.
Another incident of the trip was
their meeting here with Alliance
boys from the 10Th field artillery,
just returned from France. These
boys, $50 strong, left Alliance nearly
two years ago with the Fourth Ne
braska, under Captain ]. B. Miller.
Practically every private of the orig
inal company was promoted when
they we're finally distributed
throughout the reorganized army in
France. They took home with them
last night II sergearits and IL cor
porals, Alliance boys with the 18th.
The members of the delegation
say the winter wheat prospects in
Box Butte county, were never bet
ter, but the spokesman of the party
cast shy glance at the big strap
ping soldiers Alliance produced for
Uncle Sans army and said: "Our
motto still holds good. That is,
that we have two crops. that never
fail-babies and potatoes. And it
seems since our boys did so we'll in
France that one crop is just as good
as the other"
Box Butte Potatoes.
In speaking of the potato situa-
ton, Lloyd Thomas of Alliance, who
addressed meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce, said that while po-
tatoes were selling here for from
Sl.20 to SIPS per bushel, the best
price the farmers of Box Butte and
Sheridan counties could get was
from 35c to 40c per bushel. When
asked as to the quality Of the po-
tatoes, Mr.. Thomas claimed that
the potatoes raised near there were
raised on dry land and would keep
better than those from irrigated
land.
]. J. Cameron of the Omaha Re
tail Grocers' association, said that
they tried to-buy Box Butte county
potatoes last fall but that the farm
ers were holding them for 81 per
bushel.

FURTHER PROBE
OF ROACH CASE
IS BEING MADE
Father Slime Refuses Clean
Bill to Police Department
and IntimatsS ImpOr-
tant Revelations.

Rev. Father SHINE, pastor of St.
Mary Magdelene church, has de-
elined to give the city police de-
partment a "clean bill of health. e"
This developed in statement from
Assistant Chief of Police Dempsey,
read in city council yesterday
Mr.. Dempsey reported that Father
Slime declined to make any denial
that he had made certain statements
regarding the police department at
the time Rev. Jeremiah Roach OF
Peoria, ILL.,, was arrested and held in
cell at central police station from
1880 a. m. to 8 p. m. on January Z.
Conditions Terrible.
Father Slime was called to the
station at that time and, after
Father Roach had been found to be
very i'll and was removed to St.
Joseph's hospital, Father Slime said,
according to newspaper reports:
Such conditions are terrible to
happen in this city. The police sys-
tenn of treating, prisoners is rotten,
to say the least. There should be
an investigation.
At the subsequent investigation in
city council, Mayor Smith said:
4 II don't believe Father Slime made
any such statements regarding the
police department and ! want Mr.
Dempsey to call on Father SHINE and
get a statement from him"
More to Come.
Father Slime not only declined to
recall his alleged words but stated
to a reporter that there may be a
good deal more to- come very soon
AT present I want to say
nothing. I have promised to- say
nothing at present" he said.
"But the matter is being investi-
gatedi"
"Ah, investigated, indeed, yes" he
exclaimed. 1--WE will 20 TO the very
bottom of THIS matter. It was most
unfortunate. We are getting EVIL
dence together. The men on the
Pullman car from Denver to Omaha
will show that Father Roach was
very i'll and not intoxicated. He is
still at St. Joseph's hospital, so sick
that he didn't even know his own
sister. He has Bright's disease.
There is nothing to say now, but
when the investigation which is be-
ing pushed with all possible yigor is
completed we NAV have something
important to say.
