"Corn is out of sight," remarked a chorus of voice3 and the alfalfa was pronounced an entire success. The people of Oxford were glad to see their visitors and.

proud of their state and Us showing. Arapahoe, the first stop to the west, was out In force. The evidences of an alfalfa country were abundant In the display and the corn and wheat and vegetables were ail there. W. D.

Pruitt of the Arapahoe Pioneer presented each excursionist with a bouquet of grain and grasses, which were condensed samples of what tihe country produced. A large herd of cattle were inspected andi one of Arapahoe's enthusiastic citizens said they would have two hundred thousand bushels of corn In crib at that place in a few more months. Specimens of wheat exhibited were F. F. Hasty, spring wheat yielding twenty-three bushels to the acre; J.

H. Both-wick, spring wheat, twenty-four bushels to the acre, and K. Manning showed a fine sample cf rye from) a field of fifty-seven acres raised by him and which yielded thirty-seven bushels to the acre. William Smith, editor of the Bartley Inter Ocean, Joined the train at Arapahoe for aicOook. He said that the Republican valley had one of the greatest crops in Its history, that the people were happy, getting ready to meet indebtedness and hopeful and confident of the future.

By far the largest crowd that lias yet assembled to greet the excursionists met the train at Cambridge. They completely packed the depot platform and across the track fully two hundred more assembled. The ladles were out In force, as were, the men, and the decorations were elaborate. The depot was covered with flags and the corn and grain decorations were beautiful. Across the front of the station were the words "Cambridge, the Klondike of Nebraska." And there was golden grain enough in Bight to prove it.

There were hundreds of samples of grain and hundreds of samples of other products. Fajmers were there with a half dozen wagon loads ot wheat Just as threshed: from the machine. There was a wagon load of winter wheat from the farm of J. H. Thuman.

It was a sample fromi a ten-acre- field which yielded forty-two bushels to ths acre. Mr. Thuman had eighty acres of wheati that went thirty-five bushels to the acre. J. O.

Connell showed winter wheat which went twentyfive bushels to the acre and tested sixty-five pounds the bushel. E. and EL Wiggins had barley In view that yielded forty bushels to the acre and H. Weigers showed spring wheat yielding twenty-three bushels to the acre and testing sixty-three, pounds to the bushel. Jesse Cornell showed spring wheati yielding twenty-four bushels ta the acre and testing sixty-two pounds.

While the train Btopped at Cambridge Mr. Francis mounted a wagon load of wheat and said: "I want to tell the people of Cambridge and the excursionists that I have Just received a dispatch from Onmha irtating that train No. 6 today from the east waa run In two sections to accommodate the people coming Into Nebraska. This is the first Index, In five years of whab is oomCng to the state," aald Mr. Francis, "and we want to look after them and be good to them when they coma" There waa a round of applause In response, which tcJd plainly how thoroughly wide awake and responsive the people of Cambridge are to the return of prosperous times.

There was a aplriti of enterprise and enthusiasm in the splendid gathering at Cambridge which greatly impressed the excursionists and they discussed their reception long after the train, was swinging on its way. From, Cambridge Indlanola was reached and Us reception committee, surrounded by the products of Red Willow county, were waiting the coming of the visitors. Only a short stop was made, but It was one that added to the record of the Republican valley in Its display of productiveness. The visitors who had been discussing the S-cent rise in wheat reported at Cambridge saw new Interest in the Indlanola wheat display. The interest that has been exhibited In the securing of data of heavy yields was augmented with two samples of farmers fromt that vicinity.

Horace Taylor raised thirty bushels of upring wheati to the acre on his farm, and Eli Akers threshed thirty-one bushels of spring; wheat from each acre of his wheat land. "We can furnish the names Of other equally successful farmers," said enthusiastic citizen, and, he started to find the local elevator man. The train could not wait, however, and the Journey Jwaa resumed to McCook, where at 3 p. m. anchor was cast and citizens with forty carriages were in waiting to take the visitors on a drive through the country.

It was a fifteen-mile drive, which added to the Information of the visitors and showed them what western Nebraska la doing this year. The wheat stacks were on every hand and corn up with the best seen was everywhere In evrAenr-A rv, OFFICERS! K. e. Bnowsr. Vice-President DIItECTOItSI IL E.

R. Hansen, who has two living wives and a passionate desire to commit suicide and who resides at the county jail, may soon regain his freedom. County Attorney Munger yesterday received the transcript of the case in which Justice G. A. Sawyer of Rock Creek precinct bound him over to the district court.

The proceedings have been irregu-f lar and Haiwen at any time could get out of Jail on a writ of habeas oorDUS If he had the money to prosecute the case, in all probability he will be released on his own recognizance and told to skip. The case tried before Justice bawver was a civil case, the title being John Madeen vs. Edward Hansen. Madsen Is a brother of the girl Hansen induced to marry him. Hansen represented that he was worth about J750 in land and other property and on the strength of this claim borrowed $15 of Madsen to spend during his honeymoon.

The disclosure of his methods then came and Madsen brought civil suit against him for the $15 obtained under false pretenses. Madsen filed at affidavit that the money wis obtains 1 under false pretenses and insen was arrested under an almost obselme section of the statutes. The Justice then ar raigned him, though the case was not criminal, but civil. Hansen pleaded guilty and was fined $15 and costs, amounting in all to $21.15. Instead of entering judgment, the Justice fined Hansen.

Tlion he drew up a mittimus binding Hansen over to the next term of the district court an! sent him up to the county Jail. The law permits the Imprisonment of a Oibtor upon the Issuance of an execution wiere fraud is shown, in a civil case, but lhers is no provision for turning a civil Into a criminal case. Hansen's second wife refuses to prosecute him and since this has bem made known to him he has manifested a el'ght desire to live. The ladles of Farragut W. R.

Henrietta Adler filed her suit for divorce from Moritz Adler yesterday in district court. Her charges as stated in yesterday's Journal were extreme cruelty and non-support. The petition recites a number of instances showing Mr. Adler's habits. It states that five years ago Mr.

Adler became an habitual drunkard, came home late at night and abused his family, breaking the dishes and acting violently in other ways. Two years ago, Mrs. Adler says, he neglected to- support ms family and Mrs. Adler was then compelled to provide for herself. She has owned and operated two pawnshops at 942 street for several years.

On August 14, she relates that her husband, without authority from her, broke into these shops and took a large number of pawns and ether property. If these are not returned, 'Mrs. Adler says, she will be liable for damages, as she Is responsible for them. The act3 of her husband, she says, have cost her the loss of business. Besides a divorce she prayed for an injunction restraining him from disposing of the property' he had She asked that he be called into court and; be required to -swer where the property is.

She also asked that he be restrained from entering the two stores and creating any further disturbance. Adler further asked that all her personal estate be returned to her, together with alimony and attorney's fees.

Southwest Marvellous Tales of Crop yields. IT COOK, Aug. IS. The morning of the third day found the excurslonurts at Cur-is, Frontier county, ready for a day's siuht-seelnK In western Nebraska. The Bitfna of better days are abundunt Ut CurtiA The crops are here Just as found In every section of the state and they are good crops, too, corn looking tiiio Bjid wheat harvested, ready for threshing.

Tboae who were the earliest fLaiir aruJj some of them were up and around ax 4:30 a. m. found Curtis jieople ready for thera. They fed the party on Kh heat of the land and then with carriages took them out to see the best of the land; to see What wes era Nebraska, was like and: to see the crops of a.l kinds that ars grown west of the hundredth meridian. One of the party said that In an hour's drive he had seen four farms with at least fifteen hundred bushels of wheat on each in stack, besides the oorn now past the danger point.

The driver of the carriage said that any one of the farms could imve been purchased six months ago for tuM. It Was a practical Illustration, one of thousands to be found in western Nfcraka this year where the adrwrla crop will more than pay for the A large stare building had til splendid exhibit of FronUer county products for the information of the visitors. It conv-frlsed products of every kind and even ffhe ladies made an exhibit of canned fruit to show that nothing was lacking In the line of food products. Western Hebitaska is especially lnterest-inm to the visitors Who have heard the exaggerated tales that have been wafted eastward. The stock Interests of this section of the state were studied by them and the fields of alfalfa, with their enormous products of forage excited lively (merest.

For the first time on the trip they eaw what alfalfa roots were like and the tenacity of the plant In reaching downward to withstand any kind of ttrouth. Roots of this plant ten to fifteen fset la length decorated the station. While drive was on in the morning hours members of the party had a pleasant visit with Mr. Johnson of the Sra.te bank of Curtis, who Is thoroughly posted upor. SYorrtier county, as tihe bank with which he Is connected does a large business witli points through that section.

"Western Nebraska," he said, "is Itself again, only hotter than ever before. The Karmers who have been through years of pioneer work are seeing their way to better days. They are rapidly getting; out of debt Prices era good and the growth of stock is marvelous. Every farmer has his hogs and cattle and every pan is keeping something of his crop against future needs. The farmers are anxious to get out of debt and anxious to pay their debts.

Hundreds of them, iwlll pay out this year and all will be in far better condltloa this year than ever before." Toe way money la coming to the farmers was illustrated by Mr. Johnson, who cited the fact that at the station of llcor-lield, a grain buying point twelve miles rotn Curtis, the bank the day before had cashed checks for over Ave hundred dod- lars tii at was paid that day for wheat there. Curtis; the point furthest west on this line visited, has been the greatest revelation yet to the visitors. One of the Indiana guests saHi: "Hf eyes have been opened us never before concerning Nebraska, and especially this western inurt- I never expeoted to see anything like this," and from everyone within distance there was an Indorsement of what he said. For the people of eastern Nebraska would be something of a revelation to see western Nebraska as it pictures itself this year and the day It Is coming to Its own agtain.

At Curtis samples of winter wheat were tUtftributed which yielded thirty-eight bushels to tihe acre. When Faxnan the first stop of the morning, was reached more big wheat was shown. A farmer present said that he had 200 acres of wheat, but he had not threshed yet When asked what his wheati would yield he thought it wouJd be fully en average and the average in. that neighborhood (was thirty bushels to the acre. There was some of the finest millei yet seen In the Farnann display, millet which measured over six feet In height.

There was also an exhibit of Nebraska made uneese, not all of which remained at Far-nara when the train pulled out. Eiwood, the county seat of Gosper county, gave the special a royal reception. It was one of the finest displays as well as one of the largest. In the centre of the Mheaves of grain and bundles of corn e. live anteuope was uhe central figure and the display of grain was one of the larg-est to variety.

Several of the farmers iwere asked what the yield of wheat was tin the county and they placed thirty fcushels to the acre as the average for winter wheat and twenty-three bushels to the acre the average of spring wheat. Eiwood showed some of the best samples of spring wheat yet seen and the acreage of spring wheat) in the county was reported large. C. P. Boynton how! spring wheat which yielded twenty-nine and a half bushels to the acre, and there were samples from the spring Wheat raised by It A.

Devraux. He had forty acres of It and ft yielded thirty bushels to the acre. C. C. Fenwick showed barley of excellent quality which yielded forty-five bushels to the acre and there was a record of oata than was the best yet John Miles had 200 acres and his yieltf was eighty-five bushels to the acre.

Mr. Dow, one of the leading business, men of ELwood, said that It was the most prosperous year In the history of Gosper county. In all parts "of the county It waa one unbroken record of who. yielding, dose to twenty-five bushels to the acre, and a growing corn crop thaa would "be unparalleled in yield. There was a business confidence that had not existed for years and the farmers were, preparing to free their lands of debt and be on an Independent basis.

Smithfield. a small railroad station was next stop and it gives an example of what the wheat crop is doing. The township, six miles square, is assessed at $9 -000. that is its total land assessment. Or.

the thirty-six sections, comprising the township, a careful estimate shows that there Is an average of loo acres of wheat to the section. The average yield of the wheal, figured at the lowest estimate obtained from a number of parties living In the township, is twenty bushels to the acre.
