A DEMOCRATIC MULE
MIR. BRYAN,s GIFT GETS BEST OF
 REPORTER.
Minnenofa Animal Huris Correspondent Into Air and Intures Him.
 No Visitors Received At Fafryfesy.

Fairview, Lincoln. Neb.. Aug. i9.- The advent today of the trick mule. which was presented to W. J. Bryan by the Minnesota state agricultural so- ciety, was made memorable because of an incident which occurred during the afternoon In which the mule and an eastern newspaper correspondent were the central figures.
 When announcement was first made of the account that the animal had been presented this particular corres- pondent served notice that he would be the first to ride him. Today the opportunity came with the result that the correspondent tonight is nursing a sore head and a badly bruised leg. caused by being hurled Into the air by the mule. which had been trained to permit no one to ride him. MT. Bryan witnessed the proceedings and exhibited<a good deal of soiicitude for the correspondent.
 The mule was taken back into the stable and there Is small likelihood that he will be permitted to display any more of hIs talents.
 The day otherwise was without inct- dent. When Mir. Bryan starts on his ten days trip tomorrow night he will have completed nearly all the set speeches he will make during that time. He practically denied himself to all visitors today, desiring to utilize every available moment in completing hs work.

 Thev will include Chairman frahK IT Isifchcock. of the national commit taa and James s. Sherman, canoioh.e so, Vice President. Among the sup tacts fo he considered will De certaih imnorfant issues to be discussed our ing the campaign.
 At Republican headquarters .o-uas there was conference ys Cbnirman Hitchcock. Charles prootar of Connecticut and William |. ward of New York, both meInoers of the executive committed of the na- ttonaI committee; George sheldon. tne treasurer and Governor Franklin Fort of Nv Jersey.

Each national com YntCLAGTnAn 0NN@~N man to organize committee in eacn state and to serve as the chairman
 This step indicates that a very thorough canvass of the country Is to be made for funds to carry on the Republican campaign work.
 The prohibition against corporations making contributions to defray cam paign expenses is responsible for the thorough organization being effected.
 An effort was made by Mir. Hitch cock to-day to communicate with Senator Foraker of Ohio. who was ID the city on business, but he had gone to Washington
 Before leaving the city. the Senator indicated that he would speak in sup port of the Republican ticket if invit- ed to do so under the auspices of, the national committee. notwithstanding he has not been invited to speak in the Ohio campaign by the men In charge of the work in his State Chairman Hitchcock will request the Senator to address some important meetings in the East

COFFEE,S SURPLUS
COUNTY NOT USING HALF OF THE
 SCHOOL FUNDS.
Nearly sI0Oo0 stands To the Credit of the schools In One County, seem- fnEIy i'm Excess of Their
 Needs.

Recent newspaper editorials eor- demnfng the practice of keeping idie money in the State Treasury have Tea to an inquiry as to what at present are some of the idle funus.
 One of the surprising discoveries lp this connection was that the State's strong box contains nearly Slo,oe" which has lain to the credit of Conee County since January 1. This IS money apportioned to the county mentloneu for the use of the public schools tnere- in. To be exact. the sum iying iois Is S9,669.5
 fn tba Department of Education. this atatement was confirmed. It was learn ed that according to the last census -offea County was entitled to an appor tionment of s1s.S74o7. This fund was available for the public schools during tha year ending october l. 1908. The Department of Education reports thas Coffee County has used but little less than half of the amount.
 Hon. Harry C.. Gunels. State SuDer~ iutendent of Education. said yesterday that he knew of no reason why the money had not been used. He denied having received any explanation from County Superintendent c. W. Simmons, There Is a Law on the statute books which directs the County Board of Ed- ucation to base the apportionInent of the State funds on the basis of the lass census of the county. with view of giving as long term as possible q. each school and making the terms as Uniform as possible.
 No other county in the stare nas se this time so much unsued fun1s whice have been available since last oct9-- ber 1.
 State Superintendent Gunnels said yesterday that the surplus money to the credit of Coffee County will still stand to the credit of the county and be united after October 1 with what apportionment the Department allows for the year beginning on that day
 It is not known what length of schoos term in enjoyed by he public schools of Coffee County For some reason ov other the County Superintendent has not seen fit to present g payroll of < teachers to the State Department since Last January. There Is a tax of one mill in Coffee County and 1t is possible that this revenue Is being used by the County Board in paying the expenses Of the schools.
 The prediction is that Coffee wiis either fin the future have longer school terms or establish several more schools to utilize the surplus that Is being aa- cIunuIated.

 HANS GUILTY
tContlnued From Page one3

(COnGtmued From Em&e Onesb Bayside Yacht Club last Saturday by Captatn Peter c. Hains, Jr., may Dc found in the fact tlaat Mrs Hains had filed a suit against her husband, the papers being served upon Captain Hains in Now York on August 10.
 The fact that suit had been nied became generally known today. In her suit Mrs. Hains made sensational charges against her husbands char acter and she demanded in her peti-f ton that the case itself. on action for divorce, be given a public hearing.
 The report of the filing of the suit against Hains by his wife Is confirmed by Charles H. Libbey. father of Mrs. Hains. It is believed by MT. Libbey and his daughter that Captain Hatns and his brother. T. Jenkins Hains, concluded that MT. Annis was behind the bringing of the accusations and that 1t was Annis who suggested to Mrs Hains that the only way she could clear herself of the charges preferred by Captain Hains in his divorce action was by demanding that the case be tried in open court.
 In speak Ing of the case Mir. Libbey said that his daughter had been sub Jected to the greatest cruelty by Cap tain Hains and that she returned to her fathers home on June 2. a few days after she had been cruelty beaten and i'll trtated by her husband in the presence of his brother, Thornton. According to Mir. Libbey Captain Hains attacked his wife at Fort Ham ilton, last May and as a result of the beating he Is alleged to have Aiven her. medical aid had to be called in, her body being cut and bruised.
 Mrs. Hains and her mother are still fin New York and are not expected back for several days. They desire to se- cure control of the three children of Captain and Mrs. Hains and are pre- pared to resort to legal measures to bring this about.
