NEWsY STATE NOTES.

There is renewed excitement over the
likelihood of finding petroleum pear
Shouth Shore, twenty miles northeast
of Watertown. A force of men has
been at work for many weeks past drill
ing. Some of the earth brought TO the
surface a substance of shale-burns
readily, making hot flame for a few
moments-that is the oil which it con-
tains readily ignites when burning
match is applied to &.
The state land department has made
a lease of all the old Fort Sully reser-
walton in Sully county to t. J. Steele
of Iowa The tract comprises eleven
thousand acres and can be enclosed by
the construction of fence on one side
with short line on the north. The
Missouri river encloses the rest of il
and the lease holder can use the whole
of ii for pasture within a fence and
will need no range riders.
Out of S07 applications for teachers
certificates at the examsnotion last
month, certificates have been granted to
454. and 1863 Of the applications were re-
jected as insufficient The certificates
granted were ten for primary work
thrity-six first grade certificates; 272
second grades, and 136 third grades.
Unless the fall examinations bring a
large lumber of successful applicants
there will be a shortage of teachers
again this fall.
II there is no hitch to prevent the
carrying out of plans already made,
the Milwaukee coast extension from
Aberdeen will be completed into Butte
by Saturday The last spike was driv-
en- in the big steel bridge across the
blacktail river last Friday. The line
will be completed in Butte by the 25th
inst, and il is expected that passenger
and freight trains will be running into
that city over the extension. 1t is un-
derstood that the schedule is now in
course of preparation.
The usually peaceful town of Mobrige
is very much stirred up over an attempt
by four hoboes TO rob a safe in broad
daylight. Said hoboes were captured
in the act and are now held by citizens,
who are armed and are merely waiting
for one of the quartet to make hostile
move. Such move, it is believed,
will be the signal for a lynching bee.
These four men came to Mobrige Friday
and broke into the Office of James
Wrigley, lumber merchant, cracked
open the safe and started to rob it.
The disturbance attracted crowd and
before the marauders knew just what
was mp they were surrounded and an
uncomfortably large number of men
had rifles and pistols covering them
They had the good sense to surrender,
and are now in the stockade.

Bryan democracy now proposes to do
away with the last vestige of Cleveland
ism by abandoning the donkey as an
emblem and adopting the Tammany
tiger. II the Bryanites will only go a
little further back in the history of
their party, they will discover that the
donkey became the distinctive emblem
of the party even further back than
Grover Cleveland's day, and what is
more significant, the only national vic
tories achieved by this party in over
halt a century we're achieved under the
sign of the donkey. But as Mr.. Bryan
and his adherents have abandoned all
else that is traditional with their party,
they may as well make a clean sweep
and abandon the donkey, too.

Our amiabe democratic contempor-
airy flies into a very ecstacy of indigna-
ton at the thought that a few years
ago the Nebraska republicans objected
to Mr.. Bryan. The republicans of Ne
braska have never objected to Mr..
Bryan. No one has paid him more dis
tinguished respect than his republican
~neighbors in Lincoln and his repub-
lican friends throughout the state have
We'd in doing him honor. But the re-
publicans of Nebraska have objected
to Organism, and do object to Bryan
ism. They have repudiated his pro-
posed plans and measures in the past,
and will again.

THE SPIRIT OF SPORT.

A nan signing himself AN English
Sportsman writes a letter to the New
York Sun, in which he lambastes the
American participants in the Olympian
games at London. calling them "bla-
tant, believing hoodlums," charging
them with a lack of appreciation of
English institutions and English Gus
toms and concludes with this:
What credit is there In participating in
contests where real sporting spirit is con-
splcuously absent? l sincerely trust what
ever the result of the present Olympic
races may he that my countrymen will
never participate in another.
1t may be well, perhaps, to withhold
judgment until all the returns are in,
but undisputed reports to date indi-
cate that the British are hard losers.
They seem to be unable to forget
Bunker's hill or Lundy's lane or the
yacht races or Croker's triumph in the
Derby. They have also apparently
forgotten the English traditions Of fair
play and common courtesy. The treat
ment accorded American contestants
and visitors has been little short of in
sulting. The drawings were unfair,
the American flag was absent from
the decorations of the stadium, the
American pole vaulters were not al
lowed to dig holes IN the scared Eng
lish turf and the British tug-of-war
team appeared loaded down with
spiked boots. If these reports are
verified later on, It is a safe predic-
ton that the next Olympic games will
be governed by revised rules which
will require the British contestants to
comply with the regulations of pure
amateur contests, which they appear
to have deliberately and grossly VIC.
lated during the present meet.

eUADRENNIAL ODE.

]. w. Foley in New York Sun.
Booming and booming like thunder, uh
from the shores OF the sea;
Down from the peaks OF the mountains,
speeches and speeches there be;
Son oil Ohio in action; pride of Nebraska
unfurled,
Jackass and pachydern rampsnt over the
gabfested world,
Up from the banks of the Wabash where
the tall bloom,
out from the woodnutmeB forests, rhetoric,
gesture and boom;
Heaving OF words on split eardrums; mill
ossa on Pellon iited-Blest is a people &c
free! ai
Near every crossroads and hamlet, by
every coulee and creek,
Banners and badges and buttons, barrels
with bungholes aleak.
Streams of mad eloquence flowing; oceant
of speech lashed to foam,
All for the glory Of country, all for the
affairs of home,
Flags swapping out from the steeples; lions
of logic unclaimed,
Chariots Creaking and swaying, steeds rae
ing wildly, unreined;
Posters and torches and steamers; bulletin,
bunting and band;
All for the cause Of the people; all for the
love of the land!
Oaks OF the forest uprooted; sea walls OF
calm rent in twain;
Valleys all wind swept and beaten; Shrek
ing of traitors In pain;
Cyclones of promises whirling; blasting
~tornadoes of speech;
Sin fleeing madly for shelter; cannons red
hot at the breech;
Canister, grape, steel and bullet: hysteric
platform and pen;
Simile, climax, convulsion, over and over
again;
orator, spellbinder, prophet; tomtom, and
hewgag and horn,
Sounding the pledges OF party to living and
dead and unborn!
Knee deep in words and ranked speeches;
ears full OF clamor and din;
Woe to the child of the people, swept by
tempestuous chin;
Tossing in seas of persuasion, argument,
logic and threat;
Beaten, bombarded and battered; imblCile
soon but not yet;
Skies split with luminous lightnings, cliffs
tumbled into the sea;
Antics, gyrations, gymnastics-all that the
people be free!
Cymabls and tocsins and slogans; twilight
and midday and morn,
Blest be the people fo~rever-llving and dead
and unborn!
