John Callahan, tho sclr-confcssed
bank robber, who has been sentenced
10 six years In the pcnltcnlIary and
Is awaiting transfer to that place, Is
nursing a grievance a story origin
atcd IN the court room md was cir
culNtod throughout the city last week
to the effect that John Callahan has
"bccn there before" for cracking u
snrc In Arlington ten or twelve years
ago, John cmphaticOlly denics thl3
and says that the people know not
that Of which they speak, when they
accuse him Of being implicated In
that aIIuir
He says ,hat from 1885 to 1907 he
WIS engaged In u Legitimate business
In the state of Colorado, and to his
knowledge never stepped foot Inside
the boundary line Of Kansas during
all that time, The principal mark
Of identification for this supposed
olIcnSe on Johns part, seems to have
been n prominent and peculiarly
shaped protuberncc on the fore
head, directly above the bridge Of the
nose, \ close examination Of Gala
hans head reveals no mark Of this
nature, and John himself, who says
that he has spent good many hours
Of his life In viewing his Image In
n mirror has never been able TO dis
cover this indication Of a separate
faculty or aiYectatlon Of the mind,
Callahan further OycrS that the
impression Of his having given the
officers Of SalinO the slip at one time,
is n mistaken idea, rs he has never
been In that city, As to his being n
ycnlriloQust, here again he claims
to have the laugh on them; he not
only says that he Is not Il ycntrlo-
QuiSt, but that he would not use the
art IL he did possess IT, for he would
rather have his Jaws moving while
In the act Of speech.
According to Mr.. Callahan, this Is
the first time he has ever been mr.
rested aud he should not be made out
so Infamous, OF course If this is true,
he has been imposed ON little and
deserves a little pity, This, however,
he is not likely to get from the MEM
hers Of the bar, who he says, are
agents Of the penitentiary.

An article In Word and Works on
government ownership Of railroads by
II, g, Smith the following informa-
tIon Is gIyoni
"ln the session Of lsiO-6O Of Con-
grcss, our government first began 10
lend It's aid In the construction Of rail-
roads by passing an net giving to the
Mobile and ohio railroad company
about one million acres Of the public
lands lying contInguous to that road,
and by the sale Of and hypothecallon
Of these lands capital enough was
secured to complete this road, The
next congressional land grant for
this purpose was that Of 2,5O5, 600
acres to the state Of Illinois to aid
In the construction Of the Illinois
Central railroad, There are many
other instances Of similar grants
made by Congress, which space Will
forbid to mention at length, but the
most extensive grant for this pur-
pose being that made In aid Of the
Union Pacific railroad, Of about
twenty five million acres Of land and
about $3s, 100000 In money, These
subscriptions and grants Of land and
money by states and nation would
never have been made If II had been
supposed at the time that they were
to enable few corporations and In
dlylduals to grow enormously rich
at the expense Of the people who
made them, without rendering Il
proper equivalent In return, yet such
Is the case at this time Not only Is
the Government who was the chief
contributor of means to help build
these roads, not now sharing It's Just
proportion Of benefits derived from
them, but 1t Is now annually paying
to these roads, and Others, for the
transportation Of It's mails and other
necessary governmental business,
enough money to build, equip, opcr-
ate, and maintain more than S33
miles of railroad, The United States
Statistical Abstract for the year 1900
gives the amount of money paid for
the transportation Of mails for 1899
as $52, ,O27, ,0Ol which would pay all the
expenses OF building, elulplng, oper-
ating and maintaining more than
s33 miles Of railroads.

The Commoner.

The Commoner has attained within
elk months from date OF the lrst issue
circulation OF 100, 600 copies, a re-
cord probably never equaled in the
history Of American periodical litPra

paper demonstrates that there is room
in the newspaper field for a national
paper devoted to the discussion Of po.
litical, economic, and social problems,
To the columns Of The Comoner Mr.

1t Is always impossible to tell what
is going TO happen by what is talked
by the newspapers and expected 10y
the public. But If there is anything
at all true in what is being said about
President ..Roosevet's opposition to
the big railroad consolidation there
is at least a little smattering Of tr0u-
BILE in store for these.promotors. Per-
haps a little trouble Is all 1t will
amount to, but at least 1t will be an
object lesson that will be educational
for the people to degree little anti
Cipated. Not only Is President R0OS-
evelt said to be opposed to this
wholesale consolidation, but IT is
claimed that Attorney General Knox
is reported to be ruminating over the
application of the Sherman antitrust
law to this situation. Then the gov
crnOrS Of Minnesota and some Of the
other states through which the roads
run are in n bclllgcrent attitude, II
fight Is commenced by President
Roosevelt there Is some satisfaction
in knowing that II will in its finish
be n thorough test of prohibitivc leg
iSlation as applied to trusts. The
president, whatever his other fail
ings, never does anything by halves
Anyway, and whatever the legal ac-
tion ON the consolidation 1t Is having
the result Of ar0using the public in
tellect and conscience on the subject
as nothing has done before, A Signi-
Hcant statement credited to friend
Of the president and stated to have
been made by him to j. pierpont
Morgan was printed a few days ago in
the press dispatches. II ran aS fol-
lows; mo human agency except the
government Of the United States will
ever be allowed to own and control
the railroads Of the United States.
There are Just two. alternatives to
this question of transportation, com
petition, or government control.
When the people are convinced, or
have good grounds to suspect that
railroad competition is ended, they
will insist on government control,
"'You are ON most dangerous ground,
and If you go forward in this gigantic
scheme you will prccipltatc the great
est political question Of the age and
bring the federal government face to
face with the necessity Of government
control.

II has been the usual thing TO hear
and see the professors of our colleges
defending the game Of football,
When one does dcnOunce II the ques-
tlonl is quickly raised, who is he and
what does he mean to thus offend our
college traditions and uSagosY 1t Is
Professor Caruth OF our State univer-
slty that has lately been talking,
Professor Cawuth is not only one of
the eminent scholars Of the State, but
he Is one of the men with ideas and
ideals. Furthermore he Is foolish
enough to think that.a State.univer-
slty was provided for educational pur-
poses. While he admits that reas-
enable time should be devoted to
athletics and physical exercise,
the professor says that as football Is
ordinarily specialized in our colleges
The farmers of solomon City in this
State have taken up n somewhat new
scheme for fighting the grain trust,
They commenced in the usual way
Of organizing 4 cooperative company
for handling the grain, and expected
at the time to follow the usual lines.
But one member Of their company had
some experience In Germany that Is
proving profitable to them. He was
| a former employee of some Of the
large cooperative mills in Germany
aud knew their business methods,
1t seems that there are some very
large institutions there and all have
to buy their wheat from the export
erS, They are not able TO get any
thing like Il full supply at home. So
negotiations were opened up with
these mills with the result that the
Solomon City cooperative company is
Exporting their grain and selling dl-
rect to the millcrS. The middlemen
have been cut out Of the circuit en-
tlrely, 1t Is claimed that the trans
action will result protltably to both
concerns. Under our modern system
Of doing business any saving that may
be affected, by improved machinery,
or by organization or improved meth
odS Is legitimate, and the farmers
seem to have made this discovery.
1t takes up all the time and develop
ment Of "A few who become profess
Si0nal, and reduces all others to mere
spectators who naturally receive no
physical benRt, In Il big game that
recently came off the captain of the
WaShburn team was practically dis

football aS it is now played, to say
nothing Of the brutality of the slug

The Lyons Republican starts the
theory that alfalfa hay is n dangerous
commodity 1t Is Of the opinion that
1t is mighty hot stuIT-so hot that It
occasionally takes fire Of its own free
will and accord and without the con-
sent or assistance Of anybody. That
paper names a half dozen Rice county
farmers who have lost hay by fire
without any apparent cause, II also
asserts that there are many other
farmers in the conutry who have
suffered losses In the same way.

\ new trolley line is proposed to run
from Kansas City to Topeka Its
promO;0rS have been before the board
of county commissioners .to-.sarrange
for the right of way, and about every
business man in Topeka is lighting
1t, The reason Is that they think
such Il line win take trade to Kansas
City that now comes to them. They
are no doubt right. All the processes
of our development induStrially seem
to tend to Capitalization. When this
country is covered with a network of
trolley lines aS II no doubt will be in
Il few more years, it will tend to the
development Of the larger cities and
towns. People trade where the most
business is done because they can get
better bargains, The more easily and
chcaply they1can get to such places
the more they win go to them to
trade. Every year the world grows
more cosmopolitan and every year the
Isolated portions of the country be-
ONE fewer and farther apart

THE LOWE SITE.

Some weeks since, Mr.. Morton re-
quested me to make a thorough investi
cation of supposed Indian village site,
located about five miles southeast of
Nebraska City; so, on the 18th day of
May, | again enjoyed the delights of
Arbor Lodge, and partook of it's hos
pitality. Only those who have per-
sonally experienced the beauties of nat
ure, artistically applied, and the cordial
welcome so evident at Mr.. Morton's
beautiful home, can realize the meaning
of the above sentence.
The next day we drove to the farm of
Mr.. William Lowe, and in his company,
made cursory inspection of the whole
field, and got the lines of land survey
well in mind for chart of the locality
During my stay of three days in that
locality, was the guest of Mr.. William
Lowe and his very estimable wife, who
are quite as entertaining and interesting
as any other historical feature of the
state. Mr.. Lowe is "A years old, and
came to this state in 1S47. In our walk
of two or three miles, found his activ-
ity equal to any young man;
from 4 a. m. to p. M,
he is constantly on the go-few
young men could follow him for week,
and he seems just in the prime of life.
He attributes his excellent health and
continued youth to the medicinal
qualities of spring near his place,
from which he has drunk for sixty years,
and to which the Otoes attributed won
derful powers, when they had their
camp near it many years ago. Curious,
if Ponce de Leon's spring of immortal
youth be in Nebraska
Mr. Lowe claims the honor of setting
the second tree ever set in the state, and
he has seen orchards of fruit trees grow
from the seed; bear the "apples that
beat the world" and then die of sheer
old age. There is real truth as well as
poetry in the above, as Mr.. Lowe raised
the apples, which, at the Centennial Ex-
position in 1876, really "beat the world"
they took the prize in the worlds
fruit display, and drew the attention of
the public to Nebraska as the best fruit
producing country in the world.
Not ten rods from the spot where
grew these magnificent apples, as
charmed and charming as the tabled
Golden Apples of Hesperides," is the
most northern lodge circle, discovered in
