TO GIVE IT TO HIS SON
TBy G. Walter Barr. I

There is a real' story of tragedy, ro-
nance, frontier booms, music, litera-
ture, obstacles and riches, in Cedar
croft, which is now in process of
transfer from Frank Nagel and his
niece and nephew to j. E. Hubinger,
who is giving it to his son and name
sake for wedding present.
Frank Nagel, now dean of the Aborn
school of opera in New York, spent
his boyhood there, and in later years
spent his vacations with his mother
preparing for his piano concerts and
composing music that has added to
the musical history of America Once,
one of his friends wrote part of a nov
ell there, including description of
the place which was made the home
of the heroine. The mansion and large
grounds overlooking many miles of
Iowa and Missouri, makes a good
background for any picture in fiction
writing.

Cedarcroft, to be the future home
of the young man who is working his

Hubinger Brothers company, half of
which his father owns, is inside the
city limits of Warsaw, five miles down
the river in Illinois, and the home
town of John Hay; Worthen, the fam
Gus geologist, and other notables.
In the fifteen years previous to half

street. The original town site boom
ers seem to have had a project for a
college there where Cedarcroft now
stands.
The project was not entirely sue
cessful, and sales for taxes, mortgages
and the like make the abstractcof title
diagram look like a war map. Fin
ally the owner of the land became
Henry R. Chittenden, who sold it to
General Martin Flood-and there the
real story begins.
General Flood went from Massa-
chusetts to Wisconsin as a pioneer
in 1S45, at the age of twenty-one; was
la member of the Wisconsin legislature
in 1853 and rose from captain to brig
adler general in the civil war. He
was high in the Freedman's bureau,
and was president of public works in
New Orleans Just previous to his COM
ing to Warsaw.
The Tragedy of General Flood.
He and his family desired to go into
society with a. capital S, and for this
purpose he bought the land from Chit
tenden. He built the mansion with
it's large rooms and beautiful wood
work and furnished it in keeping with
the elegance of the home and grounds.
General Flood lived there only about
year with his family. He bought
the place in 1870 and completed the
building and landscape gardening pro-
gram in 1872.
At little distance from the house
he had large wine ce1lar-the fine
vineyard still exists there. In 1878
a cask of wine fell on General Flood.
His leg was injured and he died ten
weeks later from the injuries
Parties Before the Drought.
But during his short occupancy of
the mansion, he gave parties there
by the elite of that city who attended
them. These parties were large, in
tense and interesting, they say.
In the meantime. Conrad Nagel had
come to America for its opportunities.
and to escape militarism in Germany,
and had become prosperous, at War
saw, where he started as baker. He is
the father of Frank Nagel, who has
done so much for American music,
and the grandfather of the other Con-
rad Nagel star of the Broadway stage
and the movies. He bought the place
from the Flood heirs in 1875. and add
ed to its beauties. His widow lived
here until few years ago. when she
lied. the owners selling it to Mr.. Hub
nger 1t had been in the Nagel fam
lily for forty-fve years.
Besides the large mansion. the
grounds covering eight acres, are an
example of good landscape gardening.
Cedarcroft has for years been show
place for Warsaw residents, having
visitors from other parts of the coun-
try The hospitality of Mrs. Conrad
Nagel was unbounded. and many Keo-
kuk people have visited there

WILL NOT Be RAISED

today by J. c. Kuhns. supervisor OF

to October 81. which is 72 cents per

90 cents per head for horses.
Mr.. Kuhns says that while for 1920
there was no increase in fees. there
was considerable discussion in the
House Committee on Agriculture con-
cerning them, and an effort was made
to have the grazing charges on Nation
AZ Forests readjusted upon the basis
OF the commercial rates charged for
pasturage upon lands of similar char
acter, taking into account the advant-
ages and disadvantages OF the respec-

Mr. Kuhns explains further that
when the agriculture appropriation

came up for consideration in the
House tho provision for making such
readjustment was stricken out on a
point OF order. n nuniDer OF amenu-

support Of tire proposition to increase
grazing fees on the National Forests
came from congressman representing
the corn belt and the East" according

when the Agricultural appropria-

For this year. therefore," states
