Omaha Man.
CFrom a stan Correspondent

LINCOLN, Neb., Juno 2.-Cspecial Tele-
gram.)-W j. c.. Kenyon Of Omaha today
purchased the entire property Of the Lin
coin Packing company, at West Lincoln.
The sale includes we we'll equipped pack
ing houses and several hundred acres OF
feed yard. Mr.. Kenyon tonight says he
made the purchase individually.
IL expect to take immediate possession, :"
said Mr.. Kenyon tonight, but for some time
at least, l will not operate the packing
house. The stock yards will be improved
and enlarged. Upward of 5000 acres will
be used, a large portion Of which will be
for sheep grazing"
Mr.. Kenyon says the Omaha Stock Yards
company, OF which he is manager, has no
interest in the purchase. He bought the
property and will operate it himself. 1t
is understood that arrangements have been
completed and are a part of today's tran
%saction, for the purchase OF a tract Of 500
acres Of saline land near the packing
houses. This land is, or was, the property
OF the state, but has not been used in re-
cent years. The Lincoln Packing company
ceased operation Of its plant about three
years ago, but has continued to offer facil-
tiles for stock feeding. Under the new
ownership the yards will be improved and
enlarged from time to time, but thus far
no definite plans have been made for the
opening Of the packing house plant.
Harry L. Carpenter, for years one OF the
chief clerks in the stock yards Offices ami
Of late auditor of the company, will go 10
Lincoln as manager of the yards there.
Since the Lincoln Packing company has
closed down there will be no attempt to
slaughter live stock there, the yards being
used merely for feeding purposes. AS Lin
coin is a point where stock destined for the
various markets frequently divides the pur-
chase of the yards there is considered a
stroke Of policy by the commission men
here. BY having representatives Of the
South Omaha yards on hand at all times at
this important feeding station 1t is thought
that some shipments now sent south will
be sent to this market.

CFrom a STAFF Correspondent

LINCOLN, June 2,-(special)-There
are scores Of democrats and populist lead
ers throughout the state who confidently
believe that W, ]. Bryan will be the next
fusion nominee for governor. They base
their belief principally on the ground that
he will he the choice u those elements OF
both parties which would oppose a fusion
on any other candidate. Populists who
would not willingly vote for the nomination
OF any other democrat would go gladly 20
the support Of Mr.. Bryan.
This condition is cadsing the party lead
ers to do some serious thinking. There are
numerous democrats who contend that Mr..
Bryan should remain in the background for
a while. but they are not blind to the hos
tfity Of the popuIists and rather than see
two tickets in the held they would consent
TO his nomination.
Whatever opposition there is to Bryan 10
likely TO come from the democratic side II
1t is known positively that Mr.. Bryan will
accept the nomination" said a democrat
today. "Of course the populists want the
nomination; they want A man Of their own
party at the head OF the ticket, but they
realize that the democrats are determined
in the same direction. In my opinion 1t will
be a deadlock for not less than forty eight
hours. or 1t will be Bryan with a whoop.
II Mr.. Bryan signifies to his political
friends that he would not accept the
nomination and the fact became generally
known he would probably pc dropped. But
here we have the u~terance of a leading
populist, a former senator, who says that
after due consideration he believes that
Bryan is the man. That editorial is Goins
to have a tremendous effect"
It has leaked out that Mr.. Bryan knew
early last week that the Madison Mai
Intended to advocate his nomination foi

Mr. Bryan inspired the article. or was in
any way responsible for its publication
but that he had a Tip" OF its coming IL
