WORKINGMEN GIVE
BRYAN AN OVATION
Carriage Bearing Nebraskan Ran
Gauntlet of Red Fire And Roman
Candles at Havel0ck

Havelock. Neb.. Oct Civilian J.
Bryan was received here last night with
great enthusiasm. His arrival from Lin
coin shortly after 8 o'clock in a special
trolley car, accompanied by 100 members
of the Lincoln Home Guards, was the sig
nal for the great demonstration. The
carriage in which he rode to the city
park, where he spoke to big audience
composed mostly Of workingmen in the
railroad shops, ran gauntlet of red fire
and Roman candles. while the throngs on
the sidewalk cheered him.
Mr.. Bryans remarks were mainly on the
subject of campaign publicity election of
senators by direct vote Of the people and
the labor planks in the Denver platform.
He was unsparing in his attacks on
Speaker Cannon, James s. Sherman. the
Republican vice presidential candidate,
and Mr. Taft, First referring to the criti-.
cism that heretofore had been heaped
upon him for travelling over the country
delivering political speeches Mr.. Bryan
said that he always had believed that it
was perfectly proper to speak to those
who are going to vote.
He spoke OF the fact that twelve years
ago he had said that the president was
only hired man employed by the people
to do what they wanted president to do,
and that although he was criticised by
New York papers for bringing the high
office of president down to the level Of a
hired man. he had decided not to take
the statement back. In his opinion every
public official is a hired man.
United States senators are hired men
he said, although they don't seem to.
think so, many Of them.

FARMERS UNION
ADVOCATES SALE
Will Petition Congress to Sell Sur
face of The Segregated Coal And
Asphalt Lands in Oklahoma

Coalgate. okla, 0cl. 6.-The Farmers
Union Of Coal county, meeting here, passed
resolutions concerning the disposal of the
surface of the segregated coal and asphalt
lands in the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tions. A memorial was drawn and will
be presented to congress at the next ses-
sion of that body. The farmers want the
lands sold in tracts of not less than 160
acres, to actual settlers, and in the same
manner as town lots were sold in the In
dian territory. The memorial reads;
For the reason that the sale of the sur
face separate and apart from the mineral,
win produce the best price to the Indian
yFswners, and furnish funds for the imme-
date distribution among the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians. who are in pressing
need Of funds to improve their alloments;
and further that this sale to actual settlers
will furnish homes to a thrifty class of
farmers who will aid in the material and
moral development of the state of Okla
homa, and for the rurther reason that
this vast area of nearly 100000 acres of
untaxed land will become revenue bear
ing and aid the thirty-four cities and
towns in the segregated coal and asphalt
belt in maintaining county government
supporting schools and improving roads,
which, under present conditions, will re-
quire such expensive taxation as to be-
come burdensome.
we firmly believe that the immediate
sale Of these lands will vastly enhance
the prosperity of all the allottees, by
bringing them in contact with the in
dustrious, intelligent neighbors who will
aid them in their moral and material
development.
Resolved, that the Hon. Chas. D.
Carter, our congressman, be requested to
present this memorial to congress of the
United States, and copy be sent to our
sUnited States senators.

rousing reception on his arrival here this
morning, where he delivered the first OF

regard to campaign contributions. He
reiterated the charge that they feared the
light of publicity.

with rapt attention. He spoke of the
duties of citizenship and obligations and
of the blessings it conferred upon man.
IF. he said. "a man is ready to serve
his country in the time of war ought he
not be more than ready to 60 to the polls
on election day, with his lead pencil and
his Cod, and make his vote represent the
freeman's win"
He closed by calling attention to the labor
planks in the democratic platform, which
he said pledged the party to remedy leg

Constantinople, Oct. 6.-The council of
the ministers held a long session this
morning to consider the action of
Bulgaria in declaring her independence of
Turkey, yesterday 1t was decided i'm
possible to accept any proceedings that
violated any of the existing treaties with
other European powers and that Turkey
should address a circular note to the
powers pointing out the necessity of
taking immediate measures to enforce
respect for the treaty of Berlin.
Paris, Oct 9.-The hope that hostilities
may be avoided in the Balkans is grow
ing in Paris. France believes in the
necessity of a new conference of the sig
natory of the Berlin treaty for the pur-
pose of clearing up the situation. If this
plan is approved France will be in accord
with Great Britain. and Russia will abb
stain from recognizing the independence
of Bulgaria and the seizure of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary. This
virtually will amount to backing up
Turkeys protest and by saving the self
respect of Porte win act as calming and
restraining influence.

Wants Prof. Lowell To Give Up 75 Acres
 Of Land
Alleges Tract Is Of No Aid To Astronomical
 Observations
Grrom Tuesdays Daily)

From star gazing. and watching the inhabitants of Mars water their desert lands from the great system of canals he ayers are there. Prof. Pcrcival Lo- well, the noted Flagstaff scientist, has been rudcly brought to earth by the action of the Flagstaff council. through Town Attorney George w. Glownor, in instituting suit against him for posses. sion of 7j acres of valuable land al. joining the estate upon whicn the great Lowell observatory is located.
 Besides his theory as Co the life on Mars, which is now generally accepted by all scientists, Prof Lowell recently attracted considerable attention among astronomers by asserting that in course of time this world would become as Mars, a vast desert.
 While waiting for this startling change to occur. Attorney Glowner will proceed with the suit. on the theory that even if it does eventually become desert land, the land in dispute is now rather valuable as timber land.
 "It is true that the town of Flag stan has brought suit against Prof. Lowcll,' said Attorney Glowncr, who was here yesterday on professional business, returning to the Skylight City last evening. "I have filed the suit, on the instruction of the town council. The land in question is valued at between s25,O0O and s3O,00O. It is plattcd into blocks, lots, streets and alleys, and is included in tho regular townsite. A beautiful park is also n part of the tract in dispute.
 "Undcr an act of Congress- con tinued Attorney Glowner, in converse. tion with representative of the Journal Miner, "the land was set aside for townsitc purposes for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the town. It adjoins the observatory ground, but is not occupied by any of the observa. tory buildings. Prof. Lowell is not an occupant of the land, under the spirit of the act, and it appears to me that tho great scientist is trying to acquire title in fee simple to land to which he has no legal right.
 "I yield to none in my respect, ad. miration, yea, even vcneration, for the science of astronomy" went on At. torncy Glowner, "but the professor is not using this land in question for as. tronomical purposes, and besides, it is covered with merchantable timber val. ucd at some, 5000, which the town of | Flagstaff thinks it could use to good advantage. As resident of Flagstaff, and realizing the great work Prof. Lowell is engaged in, believe in do. hating him and his observatory all the land needed, but, as l said before, do not believe this 70 acres would help in advancing scicnce."
 | Speaking of judicial matters, Attor- ney Glowner intimated that he believed Judge Sloan was very much over worked. MT. Glowner favors the es. Establishment of another judicial district, embracing the northern tier of couu. ties, outside of Yavapai county. He believes that Mohavc, Apache, Coco. nino and Navajo counties have enouga work to keep one judge busy, while favapai county, he thinks, could keep one judge busy the year round.

Of Commerce To Prosecute Its
 Promoters

GLOBE, ARlZ.. Jan. 2,.-At the meeting of the stockholders of the Calumet X Globe Development com pany. a concern which owned some property in the lower Pinto country, which took place this evening, the ac. ton of the Globe chamber of commerce at recent meeting. wncn that body decided to institute criminal proceed. ings against the officials of the Calu- met < Globe, was heartily endorsed by the majority of those owning stock in the concern.
 The officials of the company are charged with being "wilI cattcrs" in every sense of the word. They are al. legged to have been guilty of many ir. rcguar,o. in conducting the affairs of the company [, Is asserted that they shared in the promotion profit. to a grcotc, extent than the original own. CTS of thc property were to receive in full payment for the group. On top of this it is said the property was heavily "loadod' by the promoters.
 IL is also alleged by loeal stockhold. CTS that the funds of the company were squandercd. if not actually stolen, and that no attempt was made to prove up the ground which the company had bonded.
 It is estimated that at least $i0,000 of Globe money was invested in C. X c. stock, about fourth of the entire capitalization of company, local peo' pie investing on the merits of the prop crty and expecting that they would at least get run for their money.
 The chamber of commerce intends to push the ease and District Attorney Henry has donated his services to the chamber. The chamber feels such ne. ton is necessary to the matter in or der to protect the interests of the Globe district and the investors both at home and abroad, from wildcattcrs and unscrupulous promoters.
