Corn Show Good Thing.

I'm appropriating $1,000 for an edu-
cational exhibit at the Omaha Corn
show, we believe We have done. the
best thing for the: University of Ne
braska," said George COPELAND. a
member of the Board of Regents. IN
no way could the people of the state
be better shown what is being done
at the university farm than by hav-
ing an exhibit and a demonstration at
the National Coin show. If we had
more money we certainly would have
doubled the amount :, appropriated.
and still believe. the money we'll
spent. The experiments in horticul-
ture and plant. breeding being made
at the farm are little short OF mar
.velous. These experiments will be
shown at Omaha and experts will be
on hand to explain everything. 1t Is
our opinion farmers from every coun-
ty in the state will be in attendance
at the Corn show. and every one of
them will be benefited by the. state
farm exhibit. 90 -. .ss.'
Nebraska must carry off the first
prizes at that Corn show. 1t will not
do for this state to take a back seat
for any other in the union. In order
to assist those who are going to com.
pete. the university will send out ex-
perts to assist In selecting the corn.
: The National Corn show will be
the greatest advertisement Nebraska
has ever had. 1t will do more for
this great state than anyone can
know. Every man in Nebraska
should assist in making good show
ing for the state" 90

that where carrier. has been Operat!

vice to: a community, the. dfscOntiu-
uance: of any such service without any

in great Inconvenience and not in

In such cases the Inconvenience. and
loss thus occasioned may be far out
OF proportion to any saving that may
accrue to the carrier. 1t is the opinion
of. the commission, therefore. that the
carriers. operating local freight: and
passenger trains between stations in
the, state of Nebraska should not be
permitted to discontinue any such SER

In. the case of changes in the time

An End Missing.

An Irishman who served on board
. man-Of-war. was selected by one of
the officers to haul in a'towline Of con;
siderable. length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 50
fathoms, which had put his patience
severely to proof, as well as every
muscle of his arms, he muttered to
himself:
Surely it's as long as today and to-
morrow. It's good weeks work for
any five in the ship. Bad luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What.
more Of it yet? Och, murder! The
says mighty deep. to be sure!"
After continuing in q similar strain
and conceiving there was little prob
ability Of the completion of his labor.
he suddenly stopped short, and. adj
dressing the ofhcer Of the watch. ex-
claimed: bad manners to me, sir, II

BOY BADLY BURNED.
Powder Secured From Street Vendor,
 the Stuff ExplodeS.

the Stuff Explodes.
 New Haven, Oct :.-Andrew J. Vaught was arrested last. night by Officer Sessler on the charge of hav- ing in his possession compounds more explosive than gunpowder. Vaught is a street vender, selling tooth powder, and with each pur- chase of this he gives small bot tie of this explosive powder as an article of amusement. Some of the powder is placed on piece of pa- per and on the application of few drops of water immediately bursts into flame. He was operating on the corner of George and Church streets last evening when arrested. 4
 It seems that 13-year-old Arthur Brown of "A Sylvan avenue was at tracted by the mans talk W ho told him that he could make nice flame with it. Just after dinner he went down in the cellar of ht home to try this interesting experiment. He took a cup of water and threw some of it on the powder which i'm mediately famed up and some of the neighbors claimed made a report. The boy was struck around the eye by the flame and very seriously burned. A lady who happened to be near at the time of the accident heard the boys cries and perceiving that he had been burned around the eye threw a cup of water in his eye with the result that flame shq. right out from his face. Young Brown was attended by Dr Pitman who thinks that with proper care he will come out of the affair all right

Denver. Col, Oct 1.-In a speech consuming less than 30' minutes, William R. Hearst, chairman of the independence national committee, renewed his charges against Senator Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma, and read additional letters and af- fidavits bearing upon the charges.
 Two letters addressed to Senator Foraker and signed by John D. Arch- bold, of the Standard Oil Co, in which were inclosed certificates of deposit for $5,000 and s10,000, re- spectively, each bearing date 1900, were read.

 "I dislike MT Roosevelt personally and have every reason to dislike him. When I was running for gov ernor of New York, Mir Roosevelt sent his present mouthpiece, Tweed's former defender, into New York, to say what was false about me and what MT Roosevelt knew to be false.
 "If ever I have an opportunity to even things up with MT Roosevelt when he has ceased to be president, I shall do so with peculiar satisfac- tion. But while Mir Roosevelt is president of the United States, my attitude towards him Is that of any local citizen of the United -StatessP
