SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Enduring Drought.
In the Autumn melancholy
We're supposed to breathe a sigh
For the Summer days 50 Jolly
That have brightly drifted by,
But that Summer season thrilling
Leaves a message Of regret,
For the drought our hopes was killing
And it isn't ended yet.
When the Springtime blossoms faded
In the unrelenting glare
And the locusts were paraded
Through the landscape everywhere,
For the Autumn we were waiting
And belief was firmly set
That the drought would be abating-
And it isn't ended yet.

TOWNS BEST ASSET

Beautiful citles towns and villages attract peope. They attract permanent residents they attract tourists and they attract trade It is natural that person se lecting a trading center will choose town that IS beautiful and clean in preference to one that IS un- slightly and dirty If other conditions are anywhere equal
 New houses and buildings in Seward show better architecture In the business section the old daptated buildings are slowly vanishing Unsghtly lots and fen ces are now few Our streets while the best have been passable this It is anticipated next spring will see the main streets and undergo intense repair.
 Seward needs more lawns more trees, shrubbery and flowers An example has long been set by Arcade Park and two or three other smaller beauty spots within the city limits
 well as each individual citizen to make the most of their opportunities for improving the appearance of the place in which they live. During the coming winter plan to beautify your property or home next spring Beauty and cleanliness are towns best assets.

William Kogut's scheme to avoid the
disgrace of death on the gallowS sue
ceeded when the 26-year-old con-
demned slayer died of injuries from
a crude cell-made bomb in prison
hospital today.
In a spectacular attempt to COM
NIT suicide, Kogut set off home
made bomb in his cell in con-
demned row. The explosion man
gled him badly and created panic
among the other prisoners.
Eight of his companions awaiting
execution were hurled from their
hunks to the floor while the prison
buildings we're rocked by force Of
the blast.
The prisoner ripped the tubing
from his iron cot, filled the hollow
space with water and torn playing
cards and plugged both ends. He
then placed the makeshift bomb
over his oil heater, rested his head
against the pipe, and awaited the
blast.
Warden James B. Holohan said
the explosion was the result of the
cellulose on the cards melting and
forming kind of soup" like that
used in safecracking.
Kogut was sentenced to die Aug.
% for the murder of Wayne Guth-
RE. lodging house keeper, but ap-
pealed his case and was granted a
stav of execution.

daughter, why there was bloody
towel in the automobile, and why
