DANCER of Tainted fortunes.

In addressing the graduates of the
state university President Van Hise
spoke in part ~ follows:
1.-TWO races which present extreme
ideas are the American and the
japanese. TIE American represents

auese represents the acme of al

upon the rights of the individual,

liberty in INSCRIPTIONS hands,
strengthened to giant power by gil
gautic fortunes, threaten within n
half century To take from the weaker
large part of that which remains
TO them. The power and cupidity of
the barons of the Rhine who levied
toll upon those VINO went up and
down the waters of that trunk chan
mel Of commerce were ms nothing
compared with the power OF the
modern plutocrats who levy tribute
upon the nation.
"Do not misunderstood me. | do
not ASSERT do not believe--that all
or nearly all of the considerable aud

mately acquired, but l do believe
that many have been thus gained

Jinue in this nation, we shall not

Pittsburg, Pa, July 27-As a result OF
of an explosion of a gasoline stove at
the home of Levi Titus early today,
Harry and Meyer Titus, twins. aged Z,
were burned to death and five other
members of the family seriously
burned, two fatally.
While Mrs. Titus was preparing
breakfasts gasoline stove was accl-
dentally overturned and II burning
fluid was scattered over the room en-
veloping Mrs. Titus and igniting a five
gallon can OF oil standing on the rear
porch.
A second explosion followed and in a
few minutes the entire house was in
flames. Neighbors made strenuous eff

be accomplished until the arrival Of
firemen with ladders.
The father was the first to scale the
ladder and enter the children's room.
Feeling his way to the bed he grasped

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-The Nebras-
ka weather and crop bureau has issued
the following bulletin:
Although the first days of the week
We're very warm, the mean daily tenn
p%erature for the week averaged . de-
grees below normal The highest tenn
peratures were generally between ~
and 80 degrees.
Showers occurred in nearly all parts
of the state during h past week. In
the southern and western counties the
mount of rainfall was quite generally
between one-half and one and oae-halt
inches. In the central eastern and
northwestern counties the rainfall was
mostly less than one quarter of al
inch.
Thashing of winter wheat has pro-
crossed rapidly during the past week,
and reports continue to indicate an en-
cellent crop. The oats harvest has pre-
crossed rapidly in southern counties,
where 1t is now nearly completed, and
thrashing has commenced. Nj quail
ity Of the oats is excellent and tho
yield fair. The oats harvest is just be-
ginning in northern counties. Haying
is generally in progress, with a heavy
crop being secured in good condition.
Corn has grown rapidly and is now be-
ginning to tassel generally. 1t is about
one week later in tasseling than in an
average year. Apples are dropping
badly. Potatoes have been damaged
by dry weather in some localities. A
little plowing has been done.

ISLE SINKING INTO SEA
ing Into Seals Only a Few
Months Old.

Kobe, July 27.-The island of Nu-
shima, Which the sea presented to ia
pan - lew months ago, is disappearing
in as remarkable a fashion as it was
born.
An official sent by the japanese gov
eminent to inspect the island phenom-
enon now reports that the highest
point is only ten feet above sea level.
After the island first appeared before
the astonished gaze of the inhabitants
of BONN island, it rose to a height of
$50 feet.
A pole was placed on the summit.
n the Japanese flag was hoisted. But
the pole and mast are now visible at
only a short distance from the island.
The circumference, originally two
and three-quarter miles, is now less
than two miles. The island is now
only about a quarter of a mile long.
1t is conjectured that within a few
weeks it will be almost entirely sub
merged.
The first indication of the appear
ance of the island came on November
IA of last year, when a rumbling like
the sound of an earthquake startled the
natives of two islands in south Japan.
Great clouds of black and white
smoke rose out of the sea a fortnight
later, M the sea for miles around
seemed a sheet of flame.
Within a few days a tiny island APP
peared among the smoke clouds. Then
there seemed to be three islands.
