Fine Corn in Stanton. STANTON, Neb., Sept. 1.—(Special.)—The condition of the corn crop affords no tale of woe to unfold from this locality. “Im- mense” is the word that fittingly describes it. 'True, there are occasional flelds or patohes belated to such a degree that a matured crop i improbable, but these are not common. In the main the crop was never more promising on September 1. Thousands of acres have passed the roast- ing-ear stage and much of it is dinted and silks and tassels are dry. Some flelds are not as thick as they should be, owing to the young plants having been washed out and destroyed. This condition is not, how- ever, general. Stalks are heavily eared and the ears are filling well. RoNavy \ W e GONE TO BEAR HEAVEN BY THE MUSHY FOOD ROUTE Some little Johnny bears ate too freely of pasty, undercooked oats and wheat—got more starchy food than they could digest. One had appendicitis and the other bowel trouble. that pasty, starchy and half cooked cereals, added to white bread, potatoes and other starch food, makes more starch than the average man or woman can di- gest. Then follows “starch indigestion,” well known to physicians and a very common complaint. They learned too late & If the food is not changed, serious bowel complaints set up and all too often lppendlcltin follows, directly traceable to irritation and disease caused by undigested starch. These facts caused the invention of GRAPE -NUTS In which the starch of Wheat and Barley is transformed by scientific cook- ing into sugar (shining on the outside of each little granule of Grape-Nuts). One can have the delicious ready cooked food, enjoy it, obtain the value and energy of the corbohydrates and yet not in the least tax the digestive organs. Don’t let any one deceive you by saying the stomach and bowels need hard and indigestible oats and wheat to give them exercise!!!! They get too much exercise usually with the other food. Never fear that the organs of digestion will get weak EXERCISE. FROM LACK OF Tax them a little further than you are doing at present and yom may join the Johnny bears, with ears in the daisies and feet to the stars. There is sober fact worth careful thought in the tremendous mistake made in the selection and use of indigestible food. Bodily health and increased strength follow the use of GRAPE - NUTS BSolid proof of its value There’s a reason.

The weather was perfect, and the grounds were in excellent condition, as there was no dust. A slight breeze was blowing, which seemed to put new lite into everybody on the grounds. Large crowds of old soldiers swarmed into the camp all day, and tonight most of the tents are ogeupled. Among the prominent people in attendance are Past Senlor Vice Com- mander John D.

NORFOLK, Neb., Sept. l—(Special)— August Burg, the Bwedish stonemason who %0 suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from Norolk Saturday right and for whom both the poiice force and a posse of his friends kept up a constant search during many hours, has been located. He was seen yesterday morning by a Norfolk man at Winside, Neb., standing on the platfrom of the railroad station and gaz- ing off in an abstracted manner into the distance. He bought a ticket for Sloux City and has probably gone into Iowa. It is thought that: he is ‘insane and that he merely wandered out into the country aim- lessly and without a definite end In view. H. Kauffmann, a Norfolk man who works near Winside and who was a fellow laborer of Burg's for several weeks this summer, recognized the man, but knew of no search that was being male for him and there- foro did not speak to him. Burg had sev- eral hundred dollars in his pockets when last seen here and the foul play theory was the only way of accounting for his disappearance. Burg would have recelved $0 more in wages on Wednesday. He has a wife in Sweden and is 40 years old. Beet Prospect s Good. NORFOLK, Neb., Sept. l—(Speclal)— Prospects for good sugar beets and con- sequently good beet sugar at the Norfolk factory this fall are excellent and the in- stitution now anticipates a long run. “The recent heavy rains have not hurt us at all,” sald E. H. Gerecke, agricultur- ist, this morning. “The beets have had a steady growth throughout the summer and from that fact the abundance of moisture has not been able to Injure them at all. All through northeast Nebraska, which s the country tributary to this factory, the roots are looking fine and are growing right along. Nineteen beets were tested at the factory yesterday and they contained on an adverage over 11 per cent of sugar The percentage required for grinding up is 13 and two weeks more will easily put on the additional amount of sweetness. The factory itself Is now in complete readiness for the running and every wheel can start at a moment’s notice. The big machines will begin to make little white granules Just as soon as the beets are ripe enough and the run will probably last untfl about ‘| Christmas tim Degree of Homor Con KEARNEY, Neb., Sept. 1. gram.)—The Bixth district convention of the Degree of Honor, Anclent Order of United Workmen, will open tomorrow morn- ing at 10 o'clock in this city.

GEDDES HAS DIFFICULTIES Retiring Ohief Olerk Admits There Has Been Bome Friotion in Department. GETS THE PAY OF A RETIRED CAPTAIN strial Teacher at the Winnehage Agency in Nebraska s Trams- forred to a Similas School Arinona, — (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. L—(Special Tele- gram.)—Colonsl Andrew Geddes, recent chiet clerk of the Department of Agricul- ture, returned from Cape May this morn- ing, probably aware that a new man was to be appointed in his place. Colonel Ged- des, in speaking of the recent situation in the department, indignantly denied that was away from the office without leave. “My health was bad,” said he. “1 was troubled with severe bronchitls and Secre- tary Wilson told me to go away and re- main until I was better. In the meantime 1 tendered my resignation as chief clerk. It may not be out of place to remark here that during my six years' service in the Department of Agriculture I have had less leave than any other official and probably less than any employe. 1 feit that my duty required my presence as the secre- wry and assistant secretary would often be away at the same time. This was be- fore Prof. Moore of the weather bureau was designated as acting secretary and authorized to sign papers. 1 admit that there has been some triction in the depart- ment. I find little fault with the secretary, but I have found fault, and do now and ever shall with the very irregular and U- legal methods which obtain in many in- stances. It is true that an employe has impudently and ignorantly arrogated to himself some of the prerogatives of the chiet clerk and made himselt very offen- sive. This, of course, 1 resented and brought it to the attention of the secre- tary without avall. Of course this condi- tion of affairs could not go on and so I tendered my resignation, to which the sec- retary replled in a letter which I have that he would accept my furlough without pay. I have nothing to say agalnst Becretary Wilson, as 1 stated before. When left to his own natural impulses he is a most kind-hearted and great minded man. I dep- recate beyond expression all newspaper notorfety or publicity. While chiet clerk it has been my one alm to refrain from talking. Probably my most grievous fault has been that, according to a person high in authority In the Agriculture department, I have been too kind-hearted. If so, it was a grievous fault. Colonel Geddes was restored to the po- sition of captain of infantry in the army by an act of congress and placed on the retired list from June 14, 1901. This position on the retired list would give him $1,700 per annum, which he will recelve from today by reason of leaving the department. The court of clalms has awarded him some $3,000 for back pay, but it will require an appropriation of congress before he can realize on the findings of the court. Colonel Geddes' salary as chief clerk of the De- partment of Agriculture was $2,600 a year. Well at Genoa Located. Bupervisor John Charles of the Indian bureau, who was recently sent to Genoa, Neb., to Investigate the best. location for sinking a well to supply water for the schools, has reported. He suggests a point near the location of the proposed new power house, bids for construction of which are now being advertised. The superin- tendent of the Genoa school has been in- structed to employ men to commence dig- &ing the well at once. It is belleved when the well is completed and connecti:ns made the Genoa school may dispense with pay- ing the city of Genoa for its water supply. Jacob C. Leavengood, formeply superin- tendent of the Pine Ridge Indian Boarding #chool, now connected with the schools on the Navajoe reservation, was in Washin, ton today In conference with the commis. sloner of Indlan affairs.
