HOPING FOR ARMISTICE.
Russians Anxious for 1t, Though See
ing No Chance for Jap Victory.

st. Petersburg. July 3.-2.07 A. NJ
Negotiations for an armistice between
the armies Of Russia and Japan, it can
be definitely stated. are now in pro-
gress, presumably at Washington. but
they have not reached Il stage where
any further announcement can be
made. The decision seems to rest with
japan which country is weighing the
REIMBURSEMENT Of the prospects of bet
tcring her present advantageous posi-
ton against the enormous cost in lives
and money of another great battle.
The chances for a decisive and final
japanese victory are no better now
than before Liaoy;ing and Mukdcn. and
it is nointed out here that it is idle to
talk of Nltdivostnk falling like q ripe
apple into JaDan's hands before the
peace conference meets.

BIG AID FOR NEBRASKA CORN
Samples on Exhibition in Wall Street
and Broadway Attract
Much Attention.

Some OF the corn shown at the exhibition
of the Douglas County Agricultural society
on the Kings Highway is attracting atten-
ton on Wall street and Broadway, New
York. Charles II. Pickens secured the corn
and put 1t on wires, making two strings
OF about a bushel each II was OF the white
and yellow Dent varieties and the ears
were unusually large and solid. One was
sent to William Demuth & Co., on Broad
way, and the other TO the Bennett COM
pany, on Wall street, and with each one
the placard: Nebraska corn, grown thir-
teen miles west of Omaha Estimated crop,
275, 600 bushels"
Mr.. Pickens has just received a note
from William Demuth, saying: your corn
has been in my window a week and It has
attracted so much attention that am going
TO leave 1t there another week" a letter
from Bennett said thousands Of people had
stopped to look al the corn.
II count that a good advertisement for
Nebraska" said Mr.. Pickens. "A window
on Broadway is worth about $500 a minute,
i guess, and here we have had space in
the window for two weeks for nothing
Many people in New York have never seen
an ear Of corn and the display was a good
thing for Demuth and Bennett as well as
for Nebraska"

ADMITS GUILT IN SEVERAL CASES
Says He Came Here from Idaho, Be-

TO Burglary to Sc
cure Living.

George Wilson pleaded guilty to bur
glary before Judge Day in the criminal
department OF the district court Saturday
morning and was sentenced to eight years
in the penitentiary.
Wilson is the young man who was ar
rested on suspicion of having entered the
residence of F. S. Cowgirl by way Of the
front porch one'night recently. The plum
der taken consisted of jewelry valued at
$50. That the police made a good catch
was proven shortly after Wilson had been
arraigned before Judge Day He first en-
tered a plea of not guilty and the court
named Attorney r. II. Clark to defend him.
Wilson at once held a conference with the
attorney and within a few minutes an
nOunced he was ready TO change his plea
to guilty on the Cowgirl charge
County Attorney Slabaugh told the court
that, while only one charge had been pre-
ferred, the police suspected Wilson Of hav-
ing committed burglary az Senator Nil
lards residence and the residences OF Ton
Dennison, Judge Wakeley and NJ. j. Martin
Judge Day put the question to the pris-
oner as to his guilt OF innocence OF the
four other burglaries and he replied he
had committed the crimes. He told the
court he had come here from Idaho and
had worked for brief periods at various
things until he sprainsd his back doing
heavy work for a railroad. Then his money
gave out and he became desperate.

prairie schooner lumbers along with its
canvas roof, white and yellow in spots
from the level shafts of the sun. On the
front seat is a young woman Of notable
comeliness, Biashheld's type of the Ameri-

the side Of the Conestoga wagon, marches
another young woman in white. holding
two big dogs in leash and little boy by
the hand. After her come three men of
different ages, abreast, the youngest of
whom turns TO address a group of farmers
who stand in growing maize, and represent
immigrants already settled. They watch the
passing company and seem to be exchang-
ing greetings. Between the youth. who con-
tinues westward, and a young woman
among the onlookers, who wears a mans
hat, there is evidently an interchange of
looks. suggesting that some day the
youth may return on the trail and per-
suade her to venture with him further on
the course of empire. Other figures are
less visible near the oxen and beyond the
wagon. Just to the rear. and in the air,
float two more of the draped female spirits,
like rear guard of supernatural bene-
factors.
These two groups of wingless graces have
such swinging robes and nantes so lifted

they seem to be buoyed up like creatures of
