Foot HnIl Proapecta.

Maurice Benedict, captain OF the Ne
braska team for the coming season, is
working for the Burlington railroad in
Lincoln. He spends his spare time in
keeping in touch with the old players
however, and he announces that the
chances for champion eleven at the
state university are better than ever
before.
Coach BUNNY" Booth is practising
law at New York city, but letters are
received from him almost weekly by
Benedict. Booth has not announced
when he will start football training
this fall. but from present indications
active work on the field will begin
about the middle OF September. Regis
tration at the university will begin
September 22. II Is likely that some
diminishing will take place throughout
the week before that time, and that
the hard work Of getting the men in
condition win be in full sway by regis
tratlon week.

hit UNITED STATES
State Department to Protest the
Action OF Russia.
ARABIA SEIZURE UNLAWFUL
Ne Preseedent Established whereby Her
Cargo Could be Chased as
Countraband Of war.

The state department has finally re-
ceived a formal protest against the
action of the Russian navy in seizing
American goods. and as the result OF
its preliminary study OF the law and
precedents governing the subject, il is
prepared TO act energetically and
promptly. This protest relates to the
seizure Of an American cargo on board
the Hamburg American steamer Ara
bia, bound from Portland, Ore, for
Hong Kong, China. United States Sem
ator J. II. Mitchell telegraphed the
state department a statement Of the
conditions under which the Arabia car
ried out this cargo. He declared the
-four aboard the vessel was in no sense
contraband. Indemnity and satisfac-
ton are demanded for the owners OF
the -four. The department officials
positively decline to say what course
they intend to pursue
Mr.. Mitchell stated that he repre-
sented the Portland Milling company.
The company. he said had shipped on
the Arabia for Hong Kong $4,000 sacks
Of -four. worth about 100000. He de-
clared this -four was not destined for
Japan. and it was part of the normal
trade Of the company and was not a
war order. Mr.. Mitchell also requested
the state department to take steps to
protect legitimate neutral trade from
such serious interference as these at
tacks by the vladicostock squadron.
Maxwell Evarts and D. A. Chambers,
two attorneys. were at the state de-
partment in connection with the same
seizure. and Acting Secretary Adee
Immediately referred them TO the So
licitor for the department. who has
also before him the protest OF the
Portland Milling company.
Officials OF the department say there
will be no inconsiderate action: that
| the whole subject OF interference with
American trade by beligerents in the
/ present war will be considered and
! that each protest that may be forward
ed will be part Of uniform and con-
sistent policy to be followed by the
department.

A Unique Power Plant Location.

Cost OF water-power development
depends IN large measure, on the 10
cation of the electric station that is
TO be operated. The form Of such
station, its cost. and the type OF gene
rating apparatus to be employed are
much influenced by the site selected.
This site may be exactly at. or far
removed from. the point where the
water used is diverted from its nat
ural course.
unique example OF a location OF
the former kind is to be found near
Burlington, VT, where the electric
power house itself forms the dam, be-
ing built entirely across the natural
bed OF one arm of the Winooski river
at point where an island divides the
stream. The river at this point has
cut its way down through solid rock.
leaving perpendicular walls on either
side. Up from the ledge that forms
the bed OF the stream. and into the
rocky walls. the power station, about
10 feet long. is built The upstream
wall Of this station is built after the
fashion of dam. and is reinforced by
the downstream wall, and the water
flows directly through the power sta
ton by way of the water wheels. A
construction Of this sort is all that
could be attained in the way OF econo.
my. there being neither canal nor long
penstocks. and only one wall Of the
power-house apart from the dam. On
the other hand, the location OF a sta
tion directly across the bed Of a river
In this way makes it impossible to
protect the machinery II the dam.
should ever give way. Again the pc
cu!iar natural conditions favorable
TO such a construction are seldom
found.

says Her Dsughter-in-Law. Mrs. Harvey
Lille, .. Innocent Of Murder.
To the newspapers OF the state Mrs.
Mary f. Lille. mother Of Harvey Lii
lie. who was killed at David City in
October, 1902, has written letters. de-
claring that her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Lena VI. Lille. is guiltless of the
crime Mrs. Lena NJ. Lille was con-
yicted OF the murder of her husband,
sentenced to life imprisonment and the
supreme court sustained the verdict.
A motion for a rehearing has been
filed. From Bellwood. Neb., Mrs. Lii
lie wrote as follows:
Il wish to say few words in be-
half of Mrs. Lena NJ. Lille. who Is In
the David City prison, convicted of
the murder OF her husband, Harvey
Lille.
Il am Mrs. Mary E. Lille, mother
OF Harvey Lille. He was my own
dear boy, good and kind to me. as he
was with everyone. He loved his wife
and daughter. They had a pleasan.
home.
II do not believe her guilty. She
was accused and arrested through a
spirit OF revenge and intrigue and
there has been no stone left unturned,
no opportunity lost to persecute her.
and falsehoods OF the vilest character
have been circulated about her.
There has been a spirit Of energy
and perseverance shown that would be
commendable in better cause I
claim, as many others do. that her
trial was not fair nor Just one. She
was convicted and sentenced to life
Imprisonment without particle of
truthful evidence against her Is that
justice? Is that the law of this state ?
IL IL is. God help the unfortunate ones
OF Nebraska. Myself and relatives.
with few exceptions. believe her in
nocent and believe she is entitled to a
new trial. II seems as though the
liberty-loving people OF this state
would demand that this woman have .
fair trial. MARY +. LILLE"

THE TROOPS WITHDRAWN
The Colorado militia Called Away from
Cripple Creek.

The Colorado militia Called Away freD
Cripple Creek.
Governor Peabody Of Colorado has
issued a proclamation calling OF mill
tary rule in Teller county. and placing
the Cripple Creek district in charge Of
the civil authorities.
This action was taken by the gov
ernor in face of opposition from many
influential citizens Of Cripple Creek,
who desire to prevent deported men Of
the union miners from returning to
the district. Before issuing his order
however. the governor received assur-
ances from Sheriff Bdward Bell that
his forces were able to control the situ-
alton.
Military rule was proclaimed In TEL
Ter county on June in consequence
Of disorderly acts, following the e1-
plosion at independence Of June 8. by
which many non-union miners were
killed and injured. Previous to that
there had been large force Of soldiers
on duty for many months in the Grip
pie Creek district. but before the ex-
plosion occurred these had all been
withdrawn. No troops are now under
| arms anywhere in Colorado and good
order prevails in all the mining camps.
The military expenses of the state
during the past eighteen months due to
strikes are said to aggregate about one
| million dollars.
Adjutant General Sherman VI. Bell
has expressed dissent from the opinion
OF Governor Peabody that the Cripple
Creek district is sufficiently pacified to
| justify the withdrawal Of national
| guard.
II look for a clash now that mill
tary rule is ended" said he.
Il have called of the militia" said
Governor Peabody. Now let the
unions do the proper thing and call OF
the strike
William d. Haywood, secretary.
treasurer OF the Western Federation Of
Miners, said:
The calling off OF the militia has
not the slightest logical bearing upon
| the proposition to call off the strike"

SUGAR BEETS ARE FINE
Tho Crop In Nebraska Never In Better
Condition.


Condition.
Sugar beets in Nebraska. and more
especially near Norfolk" said Mana
ger ]. y. Burdick OF the American
Beet Sugar factory of that city. ARE
thriving this season as much or more
than any other crop that grows. The
wet weather. while il has drowned
many fields in the southern corn belt,
has not materially affected the beet,
except to prevent wedding.
You would be surprised to note the
growth. however, that has come to the
beets during the past month OF warm
ing sun. From small roots. with not
much body to the plant. they have
suddenly sprung into great bulbs that
are not anywhere to be surpassed We
can stand for good deal more dry
weather. for the purpose OF letting us
get into the fields to thin the patches.
The fields all over northern Ne
braska are looking fine, being very
clean and healthy. 1t is evident from
the present stand that the run Of the
factories this year will be a good one
and will cover a good long period.
The sugar beet has surely come to
stay, as II is always an assured crop.
and each year the acreages increases. ''

The Life Of Machinery.

Although the rapid Improvement in
electrical devices makes apparatus ap.
i'arently out Of date in a very short
time, good deal of electrical ma
chinery is still in use and giving a
good account of itself after prolonged
years Of operation. Some OF the early
Edison dynamos are still doing good
work. and the material of the origi-
nal Siemens.Halske electrical road is
still used for trolley line near Chill
lon, Switzerland, though II was de-
vised twenty-three years ago.
On the other hand, a great deal of
old machinery has been worked over.
The managers of steel plant at
Hamilton, Ontario. say that they have
worked over into steel the iron of the
original Niagara suspension bridge.
that Of the Victoria bridge at Mon
treal. the hull OF the once-famous At
lantic steamship City of Rome. and
the framework OF the Great Eastern.

vestigation in tree planting in Illinois
and the Dakotas with view not only
to increasing the supply Of wood for
fuel. fence posts and farm repair, but
To determine the kinds OF trees that
make the most rapid growth and are
most valuable commercially and for
use as windbreaks. Experiment has
shown that shelter belts. in protecting
the lands from wind. influence a much
larger crop yield, saving the growing
crops and giving the soil moisture
necessary to keep them thrifty during
dry, windy times. Three experts each
will work the Dakotss. beginning in
