Bryan To use Capital Lawn

LINCOLN, July 22.-It is now reas-
onably certain that the notification of
Mr.. Bryan Of his nomination for the
presidency shall occur in the grounds
OF the state capital. In view of the
large crowd which is expected to be
present on that occasion it was con-
cluded that the single car line out to
Fairview, four miles distant, would be
unable to cope with the situation
and the capital grounds, in the heart
of the city, were deemed the most ap-
propriate place for holding the exer-
cises. 1t is not doubted that Governor
Sheldon will give his consent.
While the speech of acceptance Of
Judge Taft will have considerable
bearing on the remarks of Mr.. Bryan
when his notification takes place Aug
Il, Mr.. Bryan is beginning to outline
what he will have to say on that occa-
sion. He volunteered the statement
today that his speech would not nee
essarlly be devoted to the platform en-
tirely or that it would be incumbent

TWO CENT FARE BIG SUCCESS

lhe = cent fare pays, and pays big
gest in the less den sely populated states.
Advocates Of the 2-cent passenger
fare find ample ground to sustain
their original pleas in the reports of
earnings filed by leading railroads Of
the country with the Interstate Com
Inerce commission. These reports
comprehend all departments of rev
enue, covering the period of the rail
road year ending June 30, and show
the passenger earnings constitute a
much larger percentage of the total
gross earnings than was the case for
the year ending June 30, 1907. An
other most significant fact found in
the reports is that while several of the
more important railways show de-
crease in their gross earnings they
show an increase in their passenger
revenue alone.
OF the railroads whose fiscal years
are such as to afford basis for com
parison. the Union Pacific shows the
largest percentage gain in the per-
centage of passenger earnings to total
gross This is regarded as most re-
markablc, inasmuch as the one argu-
ment opposing the 2-cent fare bill was
that while the reduced fare might be
warranted in states whose population
was more dense than that Of Nebraska
and other western states traversed by
the Union Pacific it would inevitably
initiate as a hardship in the western
states.
During the year ended June 30, 1907,
Its passenger earnings constituted 10.
81 per cent of its total gross. During
the eleven months ended May 81, 1905,
they constituted 2l.s7 per cent of gross
This relative increase is equal to l5
per cent.
The Union PaCific's actual passenger
earnings for the eleven months in
question were Sl4. 957 ,Sj4 for the year
ended June 30. 1907.
/ In the compilation Of these figures,
which constitute, probably, the most
| absolute argument for the success of
the 2-cent fare and pass elimination,
| it is notable that they are not selected
or segregated figures, but are taken
from the reports of railroads whose
I lines touch the Atlantic and Pacific
the Gulf of Mexico and the Dominion
| of Canada, and crIss-cross the country
north and south and east and west,

affected by the new order of things.

We have heard good deal of talk
lately among beet growers regarding
the ehect OF irrigation on the shape
and size of the beet> and consequently
the Yield and prOba Bile sugar content.
1t has been said that the beet should
be allowed to feel the necessity of
moisture, but not to suffer before irri-
gazing for the reason that this plan
would extend the tap root deeper into
the Sol and the result would be ii we'll
shaped, good sized root. For about
the same reason it has been said that
light irrigations at the beginning of
the season are better, as the tendency
OF the beet to penetrate is not over
come except when an abundance of
water is furnished at that time.
Reasoning in the same way the furrOw
method Is urged as against flooding
Every old timer knows that flooding
makes sprangly and hence the furrow
is the only thing. We have learned
that it is better to induce deep pene-
tration early in the season and that

soil Is better than alternating sousing

Battle Won for Red Breast Birds
Opens Fight for All.

years OF desperate fighting the first
battle for Robin Red Breast has TO-
day been won in Louisiana. the heart
OF the section where this favorite
American song bird is butchered by

robin has at last been removed from
the list of game birds by the legis!a.
ture OF the Creole state was an.
nounced today at the headquarters of
the National Association Of Audubon
societies.
BY a close vote the lawmakers OF
Louisiana have repealed the old game

classed as game and have decreed an

That successful agriculture in this
country would become impossible and
vegetation soon be destroyed if the
robin and his brother bird were ex-
terminated has just been asserted by
Professor Henshaw of the Biological

declare that his warning may come toe

Untll fifteen years ago peas were
planted for canning purposes practi-
cally in the same manner as for the
garden. This meant the usual heavy
labor in cultivating ana packing, re-
quiring many men. When the pods
reached the factory they were shelled
by hand and filled into cans by hand
without being graded into sizes. The
large number of women required for
these operations practically limited
the output by making the price pro-
hibitive. For Years peas were packed
only in Baltimore and and few points
in New York Then came the podder.
a machine invented by Colorado
man, which shelled the peas, elimi-
mating practically all the hand
shucking, and subsequently machines
were invented for grading peas in
va ions sizes, filing them into cans
and sealing them. But it was still
necessary to have a large number of
people engaged in the back liking
operation of picking the vines over
every few days. The inventor of the
podder went a step further and pro-
duced the viner This is a green pea
thresher. Today here in Colorado the
seed is Sown by a drill, just as wheat
issawn and the field is never culti-
yated. When nearly mature the vines
are cut down with moving machines
and hauled to the factory and
fed into the viner which threshcs the
pods from the pea, without hruising
or breaking. BY this method the say
ing in labor is enormous. Twenty
years ago 200 people were required to
produce 5000 cans a day. Now forty
people will turn out 40. 900 cans a day
and this is being done at several
places in Colorado at the present
time. Field and Farm.

Romance got something of a set
back the other day when, from the
steps of the Royal Exchange of Lon
don, the common crier made proclama-
ton that after August / the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender in the
West Indies, including British Guiana.
Now the boy who finds a pirates bur
led treasure will have to dispose of his
Spanish gold at its bullion value. 1t
may console him to know that for
some years the doubloon has not been
the precious thing it was. In 1880,
and for a century after, it was worth
eight dollars, more or less;" but the
current doubloon is worth only about
five dollars. 1t has ceased to be
coined in its native country, Spain
and now it will soon become unpopu
lar In the West Indies, where it has
figured in a mixed circulation EN-
bracing British, United States and
Spanish coins. In the interest of 70
nance, however, the name at least
must survive. 1t signifies nothing
more than that the coin was double
the value Of a pistole; but "doublooa'
was never such mouth-flling mock
cry as pieces of eight" which sug
gests great riches, but means onlJ
Spanish silver dollars, pieces equiva

Shattered Nerves.

Many people complain of shattered
nerves. Very frequently this malady
is caused by the overwork of body and
brain. Bad sleep or no sleep at all is
one OF the prominent symptoms of
shattered nerves. A weary and yet
restless feeling during waking hours,
Doth day and night, is a similar symp-
tom. Excessive irritability, instead of
good temper, is another symptom. Al
strong tendency to think the worst of
everything, rather than the best, is
another symptom. A wish for death,
rather than life, with such a state of
body and mind, is not uncommon. A
strong idea that we are somehow
wrong and cannot get right, is another
symptom. Fear and foreboding of
evil is another What we have indi-
Gated as the symptoms will indicate
that the mind has a great deal to do
with all such cases. Frequently, says
the New York Weekly, it is the mere
idea, strongly flxed, which works all
the harm. If the mind could Danish
Its depression, the same nerves that
have been set down as hopelessly
shattered may turn out to be quite
sound and good by the act Of changed
thought. But to do good work one
must have adequate rest. More and
better work Is done by good sleeper
who daily takes at least eight hours o.
sound sleep, than by one who forces
himself to do less. But even if thi:
were not true, it would still be certain
that it is ruinous to life's grandes
ends to deny the nerve-system tina
on which its healthy state depends.
