LINCOLN. Oct. 5.-CSpecial)-Frank
Rush, who left this city last June TO work
as a civil engineer for the government in
the Philippine islands, has been reported
as KILLED In a typhoon last Friday. Rush
was In a row boat off the north coast Of
tho island OF Luzon with one Webster when
the typhoon struck the boat. Neither of the
meen were seen after the occurrence and
today a cablegram was received by Mrs.
e. w. Rush, who lives at 1866 S street, that
her son was thought to be lost. A search
was made by the government officials all
along the coast but neither of the men or
any of their effects except the row boat
could be found.
Frank Rush was graduated from the
state university last spring a year ago.
Durihg the last winter he'd id civil en-
cheering work in this city and about the
state. He took the examination for the
government service during the winter and
in June he was given a position in the
forestry engineering service on the island
Of Luzon In the Philippines. Rush is a
son OF, c. W.. Rush, q railway postal clerk,

sacrificing is to be tone no one can do 1t
better than Mr.. Bryan's own brother-in-
law.
Those who opposed Allen had a valid
reason for so doing. They could not figure
how Bryan could discuss the publicity
of campaign contribution as long as the
SIS. 600 Tom Tibbles told about being brought
from Wall street to promote Mr.. Bfyans
senatorial candidacy remained unRccounted
for. Mayor Dahlman said the money was
spent in the interest of Mr.. Berge, candi-
date for governor. Berge said he never
knew about It and the result of the election
bears him out.

the Roosevelt policies fail to see how Mr..
Bryan can justify the continuance of Tom

w. J. Bryan will tour Nebraska october
10, IA and Is, speaking from the rear end
Of a special train. The democratic state
committee is afraid of the work done by
the Taft special and Mr.. Bryan has ar
ranged with his national committee to
look after his fences in his home state.
Tom Allen is now at work on the itinerary.
Allen Mixes in Idaho Row.
Tom Allen. brother-in-law to Mr.. Bryan,
has returned from a harmony trip to
Boise, Idaho. Mr.. Allen went there as the
special messenger for his brother-in-law to
try and settle the democratic sduabble in
that state. So secret was he in his move
ments that he registered under an assumed
name and his identity did not become
known until a member Of the democratic
| state committee of Idaho asked for him
| at the hotel and Allen had to make himself
known in order to carry out the instruc-
tions of his brother-in-law. This is the
story brought to Lincoln in a Roise paper,
which reached here today. Mr.. Allen left
this morning for Omaha, presumably to
give some Instructions to Mr.. Bryan's
chief lieutenant, Mayor Dahlman. Another
trip to Wall Street is now predicted.

Skunk Story

From Forest and Stream: The hunt
er in question was coon hunting on
very dark night. His dog was worry
ing some animal in the bushes, and
he went to see what it was. The
bushes being very thick, before he
realized it he was close up with the
dog, who was barking around
skunk, and he received a charge of
the fluid, entering his eyes, caused
him the greatest agony for about ten
minutes, and he firmly believed that
he would never see again. This wore
away and now comes the strange part
of the story.
AS / said, the night was very dark
and the men were all carrying Ian
terms, but the hunter could see quite
clearly, as at twilight. The effect ap-
peared to be to dilate the pupil of
the eye like atropine. This condition
lasted through the greater part of the
rest of the night, and enabled him to
travel without light and see clear
ly across the valley to the opposite
hills
do not remember to have seen it
ever stated that an accident of this
kind produced such result on the hui

Those Straight French Roads


There are many section of the chief
roads in France which run for miles
in an absolutely straight line. The
country is invariably rolling and it is
nothing unusual to come to the sum.
NIT of some hill and see the road
stretching away in front as straight
as die as far as the eyecan reach.
Another feature of the French roads
is the entire absence of fences. Fields
come to the very edge of the grass
bordering the rows of trees that line
the roads and in Normandy and Brit
tany, especially, every foot of the
acreage seems to be tiled. In many
places both cutters of the road on
hills are carefully paved with stones
so that the water may be carried off
without cutting ruts in the macadam
at the edges.
Motoring is ideal when it can be
enjoyed under mile after mile of arch

it will assist materially in bringing

Other changes, which it is hoped

republicans, is one increasing the
