"a Bailad)
I've Just been down to Texas,
To the land Of corn and wine,
To the land where life Is richest
And whore cotton grows SO fine.
And I'm goin back to Texas,
70 her prairies fresh and fair,
To her song birds and her flowers,
And her beauty wild and rare

And ! want TO plant ihe seed and gather

can see the darkies plowu',
Up and down the cotton rows,
And the corn SO brightly wayin
As the gun wind comes and goes,
And Texas skies are rarest;
Her air Is Ike old wine,
And the country is the Unrest.
And is bound TO take the shine
oh. ! want to see the cotton in the rows

And ! love to hear the darky as he sings

And want to plant the seed and gather in

And come whoopin' at the harvest mas

Let me see again the cotton,
Stretched In rows from sky to sky.
Let me breathe again the zephyr
Come DER prailiP far and nigh.
Let me hear the cattle lowing,
Let the lasso fling again,
Let me wander back to Texas,
Let my home he upon her plain.
Oh. | want to see the cotton In the rows SO

Omaha, Neb., June THE prelimi-
nary examination of James Callahan,
who was arrested for kidnapping
young Cudahy, on the charge of per-
Jury has begun before Judge Vinson
Haler in the county court. This is
the case in which Callahan is accused
of testiying falsely at the time he
was on trial for robbery. The testi-
mony to be taken in the present ex-
animation will be practically the
same as that given at the robbery
trial. The state will undertake to
show that parts of the material testi-
mony given by Callahan in the dis
trict court are untrue.

Last Year,

Topeka, Kan., June ST. D. Co.
burn, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, issued report yester-
day covering the crop condition in
every neighborhood in the state up to
June / and dealing in detail with the
condition of wheat, corn and oats.
There has been big decline in the
condition of wheat since the depart
ment issued its last report, April 5.
Rain has fallen in several places in
the state since June /, however, and
Mr.. Coburn said that the general con-
dition of the wheat would be a little
higher as q result than it was when
the departments report was COM
piled. Based upon 100 as an entirely
satisfactory condition, the winter
wheat condition for the whole state
on the date mentioned was SO, de-
cline of 17.s per cent. since the report
of April 5. The winter wheat average
is placed very close to, If not some
what above, the largest recorded, viz:
5,1lO,S73 acres, harvested in 1893.
The present area in corn as estima-
ted by correspondents is approximate
ly 100000 acres, or 100000 less than
one year ago. The conditions of the
state is sl.3s, as against 93.2 one year
ago The backward and extremely
cool spring, followed by protracted
dry weather have delayed planting,
termination and cultivation nearly
everywhere.

CARNEGIE'S GREAT GIFT.
The PhilanthropIst Turns Over Si0,O0o.O00
to Trustees for the Benefit OF the
Universities OF Scotland.

London, June S.-Andrew Carnegie
signed deed yesterday transferring
S1O,OQO,OOO in five per cent. United
States steel corporation bonds to
trustees for the benefit of the univer-
stiles of Scotland. The amount be-
comes Immediately available. The
next installment of interest can be
used for the October term. The deed
contains preamble, saying that Mr..
Carnegie, having retired from active
business, deems it to be his duty and
one of his highest privileges to adj
minister the wealth which has come
to him as a trustee in behalf of 9TH
ers. entertaining the confident belief
that one of the best means OF dis
charging that trust is providing funds
for improving and extending the OPP
portunities for scientific research OF
the universities of Scotland, his ma
tive land, and by rendering the at
tendance easier. A constitution, as it
is called. is attached to the deed, di-
recting that half the income be de-
voted to increasing the facilities for
the study of science, medicine, mod
ern languages, history and English
literature. The other half is to pay
fees and assist students in other
ways, regardless of sex and in aid OF
preparatory schools, evening classes
and other means of education out
side the universities.

Law OF BANKRUPTCY
Summary Of the mi-Annual Re-
ports on Its Operation.
VOLUNTARY and INVOLUNTARY CASES


Washington, June S.-The summary
of the semi-annual reports of the
operation Of the bankruptcy law for
the period ending March 81, 1901, re-
Gently submitted to the attorney gen.
eral by Z. C. Brandenburg, in charge
of bankruptcy matters in the depart
ment of justice, shows that during
this period 9,5l6 voluntary petitions
were filed, as against 5000 for the
preceding six months; 1920 for the
six months ending March 81, 1900;
1O,124 for the six months ending Sep
tember 80, 1890, and 9,O52 for the six
months ending March 81, 1899, thus
showing no appreciable variation
from the average number of petitions
filed since the law went into opera
ton, though over 1900 less than for
the corresponding period Of last year.
For the same period 1,O76 petitions in
involuntary bankruptcy were filed,
this being slightly in excess Of the
average for the past two years and
half. The reports show that large
per cent. OF those taking advantage of
The voluntary feature of the law are
old insovents seeking this means of
resuscitating themselves in the bust
ness world.
During the past six months Of the
voluntary cases 7,O57 have been closed.
In these the total liabilities, direct and
contingent, have been $S4,S55,097,
while the net assets realized for dis
tribution as dividends have been S3,-
5S7,447. The total liabilities in $50
cases were less than $500, in $40 cases
between $500 and $1,000, and in 5000
cases between $1,000 and $1,000, the
balance being for larger sums in vary
ing amounts. It also appears that 747
who filed petitions were farmers, g.
S43 wage earners, 1877 merchants, 1913
manufacturers, 143 professional men
and the balance had occupations Of
miscellaneous character.
OF the involuntary cases 325 were
closed during the year in which the
total liabilities were $4,626,04S, while
the total assets realized were $S79,597.
Mr.. Brandenburg says that it may
be safely said that, with one or two
exceptions, for which congress doubt
less will make provision at an early
date, the law is meeting with almost
universal appreciation.
The states showing the greatest
number of voluntary petitions filed
during the last six months are: Hi
nois, 1912; New York, 1903; Massa-
chusetts, 1000; Iowa, 45O; Ohio, 439,
and Alabama, 422, while the lowest
number are shown in the states of
Nevada, where none were filed; Ari-
zona and Hawaii, . each; Delaware, s;
New Mexico, 5, and Idaho, 10.
OF the involuntary petitions, the
greatest number were filed in the
following states: New York, 230;
Pennsylvania, 1872; Illinois, 70; Massa-
chusetts, SO; Kentucky, so, and
Georgia and Texas As each. while in
the states of Kansas and Nevada no
petitions were filed, and in Hawaii
and New Mexico one each, and Della
ware Indian territory, North Dakota
and Oregon two each.

PROPOSED COMBINATION.
A Move to Unite City and Suburban Rail-
ways Of Omaha and Council
Bluffs,

Omaha, Neb., June Fired A.
Nash, president of the American
Smelling and Refining company, and
who is one Of the promoters of the
proposed combination Of city and
suburban railways and other fran
chised corporations Of this city and
Council Bluffs, returned yesterday
from New York and Chicago. Mr..
Nash confirmed the reports Of the
formation of the new corporation and
explained in detail its object. He
said it would not include the water
companies of the two cities and that
the capitalization would be about
$lO,0O0,O0O. At the time the offers
were made in May it was understood
that all were satisfied with the terms,
but later it was learned the matter
had not been presented at a meeting
of the stockholders of the Omaha
Street Railway company and that
there was some dissatisfaction with
regard to the price to be paid for
that company's property
Mr.. Nash said there was no doubt
but the consolidation would be ac-
complished within a short time even
though the Omaha street railway did
not come into it at once. Since the
negotiations were begun there has
sprung up a strong competition for
franchises for the six suburban lines
from the counties through which they
will run. Both the promoters Of the
consolidation and the representatives
Of the Omaha street railway are seek
ing these franchises, as they will be
mich enhanced in value by the new
deal, one of the prime objects Of
which is to build the Platte river ca
nal, which is to furnish cheap power
for the combined railway systems.
The canal, when completed, will cost
about $3,5OO,OOO. The commissioners
of Douglas county, in which Omaha
is located. are now hearing reports
of all interests and will grant fran
chises to one of the corporations
within few days.

GENERAL TRADE SITUATION.
Improvement shown, Owing to Better
Reports Of Damage to Wheat
In Missouri and Kansas.

New York, June S.-Bradstreet's
says: Despite some irregularity, due
to special conditions, the general
trade situation shows an improve.
ment, owing to better weather and
crop conditions in most sections of
the country. Reports of dry weather
in the weast and of damage in Mis-
souri, and Kansas, were supporting
features to the successful advancing
of wheat prices early in the week, but
long liquidation and reports of rains
in the northwest later on caused
loss of the early advance, the result
being a, fractional lowering of quota
tions on the week. Corn and oats
acted in sympathy with wheat.
Rather more export interest is re-
ported in cereals at the decline.
Iron and steel are quiet in all lines
as regards new business, but pig iron
is 25 cents b ton weaker. Consump-
ton, however, proceeds at an undi-
minished rate. The western hardware
trade is in very good shape. Some
of the backwardness in demand for
agricultural implement makers sup
plies is charged to desire to await
the proposed consolidation in that
line.
Wheat, including -four, shipments
for the week aggregate 6,644,644 BUSH
els, against 4,13S,97O last week. Corn
exports for the week aggregated q
455,1O2 bushels, against 2,O27,433 last
week.
Failures in the United States for
the week number 1863, against 144 last
week, 1874 in this week year ago, 17S
in 1890, 221 in 1898 and 256 in 1897.

10 Investigate the Powder Explosion.

Washington, June IA naval board
of inquiry will he assembled at San
Francisco to investigate the explo-
sion which occurred Wednesday at
the Mare island navy yard. Admiral
ONeill, of the bureau of ordnance,
has not yet been officially advised OF
the explosion. The magazine at San
Francisco is the only one on the Pa
cifc coast and has large capacity in
order to supply the ships in Pacific
waters. Fortunately, however, all
proiectiles and ammunition are kept
in detached buildings, so that the
damage to the powder is not ex-
pected to result in a total loss of am
munition.

special solemnity were held here yes

of performers, 1000 other Indians
