NEBRASKA FRUIT AT BUFFALO
The Display Was One of which the state
May Feel Proud.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE re-
suit of Nebraska's fruit display as
to awards has been telegraphed you,
says a dispatch to the World-Herald.
Work done by Mr.. Hodkinson has been
very gratifying. The fruit which has
attracted the attention of horticultur-
al scientists, and which has been the
life of the exhibit, was plums, the
collection of seedlings and hybrids
showing the evolution of the plum
from the sand cherry to the present
delicious victory. For this Nebraska
is largely indebted to Mr.. Theodore
Williams, whose valuable work in
cross-breeding plums has attracted
much scientific attention. OF these
140 varieties have been exhibited,
spreading over period of two months.
With the display of peaches follow
ing. of which Russell's Seeding COM
manded attention for its fair size and
good quality, and the apples in fall

work as a scientific lhorticulturist has
reflected credit upon Nebraska in

state rirht on standard oil.

LINCOLN, Nov. 9.-The supreme
court made an order allowing the state
ten days in which to file exceptions
to the report of the referees in its
case against the Standard Oil COM
pany. If some showing is not made
by the state within the time specified
the report of the referees will be con-
firmed and the case dismissed, as rec
commended. Attorney General Prout
said he had not determined what
course he would pursue. 1t is likely,
however, that exceptions will be filed,
in which event the court will assign
a day for a hearing.
