He returned with the chin and

Investigating Nebraska Soil.

An Investigation of Nebraska soil is
shortly to be undertaken under the
supervision of the Board of Regents
of the State university. Lecturers
will attend the corn show to be held
in Omaha and show just what the in
vestigation reveals.
The idea of the board is that many
farms of Nebraska have been worked
for about twenty-five and thirty years;
that the soil has been taken from and
very little given back. The virgin
prairie will be analysed and then the
farm which has been worked will be
Investigated. That which the latter
soil lacks. which was in the virgin
soil, will be given to it. Farmers will
be instructed in the use of the prop
er treatment of the soil, and in the
opinion of the Board of Regents the
result will be so beneficial as to be
beyond calculation.
At least four experts will be start
ed at once to get samples of soil
from different parts of the state and
to begin the analysis.

the sixteenth National Irrigation
congress, which convened in Conven-
tion hall here this morning, were i'm
pressive, and the 1900 delegates and
$500 spectators who crowded the

congress will give major portion of
its time to the discussion of reclama-

of natural resources.
Two letters and telegram were
read in the congress at its opening
session from President Roosevelt.
The first was addressed to the con-
gress and conveyed the president s
greeting, his approval of the work OF
the congress and references to i'm

the bottom of this letter aroused wild
enthusiasm among the delegates and
spectators, as read by Secretary Fow-
Ter. The president wrote:
Il earnestly hope that this winter

Mexico and Arizona
The congress unanimously directed

BROKEN Wheel
D1'TCHED TRAIN

PUEBLO (Colo.), Sept. 20
About 2 O'Clock this morning the
eastbound passenger train on the
Santa Fe went into a ditch at Hadley
station, nine miles east of La Junta,
the cause, it is thought, being a
broken wheel under the baggage
coach. The engine remained on the
track but all the cars except the rear
Pullman left the rails and were
turned completely over A relief
train left La Jaunta at once and
brought the passengers to that city.
Although all of the passengers were
more or less shaken up and several
were hurt, there were no serious in

BRYAN KNEW
OF HASKELL

mittedly Bryanized, while the Demo-
cratic national platform as admit
tedly has been Haskellized. And in
the movements necessary between
Oklahoma and Nebraska the stencil
of standard oil has been ever present.
Before the question, Did Bryan
know all this?"become acute this
morning the former chairman of the
peoples party organization in Okla
homa had started through the mails
letters charging that Bryan did know.
F. w. Jacobs, now practicing at
torney at Kingfisher, made the
charge which was received this
morning by republican state chair
man Norris in Guthrie.
After designating Haskell as po-
litical coxcomb and a commercial
marauder invading Oklahoma" and
declaring Haskell to be mot of the
west, but of Wall street." Mr.. Jacobs
says:
Now Bryan knew all this of Has
kell. for | myself have informed him
and especially so in my open letter:
to Bryan, given to the public before
the Denver convention"
The presumption in Guthrie tha
Bryan must have known Is baseC
upon the intimate personal and po
litical relations between Bryan anC
Haskell.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. 29.-
Has Bryan the guilty knowledge of
Governor Haskells Standard Oil du-
plicities and devious political and
personal shortcomings, such as have
forced even the uncompromising
Haskell to resign under fire?"
All Oklahoma has been busy with
this question, regardless of party.
Answer this question outside Of blind
partisanship, however, the sentiment
here practically asks two more ques-
tions in answering the one:
'If Bryan did not know, how can
he keep up the front as capable
candidate for the presidency"
eff he did know how can he hope
to uphold his pretensions Of being
an honest candidate for the presi-
dency?"
But in either alternative answer
the comment of Oklahoma's capital
is that Bryan's organization tolerated
Haskell until he was smoked out
To the observing outsider in Okla
homa it seems impossible that Bryar
has been ignorant of the machina
tions of Haskell. The Interchange
of political and personal amenities
between the two in this state evel
since Bryan came here campaigning
for Haskell's election leaves th'
thought of ignorance impossible.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The ten

level is still further manifest on the
stock market today. There were in
teryals of several minutes during the
afternoon when no transaction was
reported from the floor of the stock
exchange; a condition of dullness
rarely seen. The stagnant condition
convinced doubtful ones that wealthy
capitalists who were credited with
the responsibility for the activity of
summer dealings were abstaining
from dealing in stocks for the pres
ent. Bonds were heavy.
