QUIET AT FAIRVIEW
NO INCIDENT WORTHY OF NOTE
 MARKED DAY.
Mir. Bryan Was Enabled to. Transact A Good Dea of Business Ans werfag Letters and 0utlin-
 ing Several Speeches.


 Fairview, Lincoln. Neb., August. D. No incident worthy of note marked the day at Fairview today Only few csilers journeyed out in the sweiter- ing heat and these, for the most part. came merely to pay their respects.
 Mir. Bryan thus was enabled to transact good deal of business, he having been occupied practically the entire day with his secretary Mr. Rose. answering letters and outlining sew era1 speeches which he will make within a month. Tn view of the Bon-' aparte opinion that National Banks cannot comply with Oklahoma's State law with respect to the guaranty of deposits. a subject in which Mr. Bry- an is vttaliy interested. 1t is to be presumed that he will make 1t one of the leading issues of the campaign. Already he has decided to make it. the feature Of his Topeka speech, the latter part of this month.
 Mir. Bryan was not advised of the causes which yesterday prevented his unanimous election as q member of the Typographical Union of Lincoln. along with Governor Sheldon. and he was disinclined to discuss the matter beyond stating that only short time ago, large delegation of the Central Labor Union. with which the Typo praphicai Union is allied. visited his home and presented him with resolu- tions expressing, confidence in him. I. was said tonight that trade reasons and desire to avoid politics were the factors that controlled those offering objections to ;tife election of MT. Bry- an to membership.
 Secretary of State Junkin late to- day rendered his decision in the case of the protest of Victor Rosewater. against the placing of the same nantes on the 6ffeial ballot for Presidential electors under the title of Democratic and Peoples Independent party. Sec retary Junkin decided against the pro- test on the ground that the same men were named for electors by both con Ventions and that no protest having been entered by any member of either party. he assumes that the action of 'he convention were satisfactory to the voters they presented"
 Mir. Bryan spoke tonight at front lawn meeting which gathered at the home of Dr. L. P. Hall. of Lincoln, to congratulate him on his election as crstic Ccmmittee.
 MT. Bryan. accompanied by his sec retary, went to the city from Fairview about o'clock. His address was pure- ly congratulatory in character and contained no politics. He mixed free- ly with the seventy-five friends and neighbors of Dr. Hall who had called to extend congratulations. pr. Hall, who Is president of the Central Ma tional Bank of Lincoln. and the new National Committeeman from Nebraska, responded briefly to Mr. Bryan's ad- 6reae r

Two Doctors Busy At An Odd Work
 Tn The Pemnsylvanlm M0untafms.
 Wilkes Barre. Pa. Dispatch To The
 New York Sun.
 For the purpose of extracting poison from the fangs of snakes and using for malignant levers, pr. D. Walter M. Atkinson and his assistant, pr. ]. L.. Engle, of the Pasteur Institute at Lille, France, are now in the mountains of this State hunting snakes. The search exclusively, and the poison obtained from their fangs is to be used in the experiments at the laboratory in Lille.
 The first step Is, of course, the catch : ing of the snake alive. This is done by means of snare of fine silver wire as flexible as thread. This wire. one end of which Is made into g slip moose, is attached to the end of a stick some four or five feet in length, is slipped over it's head and the slight est pressure of the snake will draw 1t tight. Tn this manner 1t Is often carried until the cage is reached.
 When a sufficient number of rep tiles have been secured the extraction of the venom IS the next step. This has of necessity to be done with ex- treme care. A thin glass funnel about and over the mouth of 1t is stretched a piece of steriltzed. wide mesh gauge, fastened in place by a rubber band. The end of the funnel is inserted in q three-eighths of an inch in diameter and about three inches long. The fun- nel and tube are held by pair of long forceps. The cage containing the snakes .I,s has a sl small .Sp. Sopenings, in 1t, make their escape, and as they do so they are grasped just back of the head
 Snake and gauzesenvered tunnel are gradually brought nearer and nearer until the snakes head has approach a so mouth of the funnel. when 8 slight, quick pressure of the doctors hand apgers the reptile and 1t strikes the 1rst object in view and sinks it's fangs into the meshes of the gauze.
 These fangs. of which there are two, located in the upper jaw, are nature g hypodermic needles. As soon as any pressure is exerted upon them the glands located above.
 Two drops of venom are all that are extracted each time. but the same snake is used time and again. o,... clinging to the gauge the first glean- ing of the harvest is secured. 4 slight tap upon the gauge causes the venom to drop into the funnel and Great care is exercised to keep every thing connected with the operation sterile. When the tube is full 1t Is hermetieally sealed.
 The commercial value of the venom is S30.000 a pound, or S2,00O an ounce. Dr. Atkinson expects to secure about s3. 900 worth from his summers work.
 While the use of venom secured from reptiles as an antidote and an- titoxin Is not new. its use as an anti toxin for malignant levers is. pr. At- kinson carries "a set Of surgical instru- ments with him whenever he is out hunting snakes. and his method of treating a snake bite is very Inter esting- s.

This is at the rate Of ss'- '6sS.33 per year for one acre.
 Given the land and some extra halp at planting time, and one man and a team can care for 100 acres of wrowinE eucalyptus trees At the above rate taking the figures as they are furnish ed---the 100 acres in thirty years would have a value of 31s. 900, ,060.

 man Later

New York. Aug. s.--The manags- ment of the New York headauarters of the Republican National Committee, in the absence, of Chairman Frank H : Hitchcock, will be in the hands of vic. tor L. Mason of Passaic, N. J., who rstary of the committee. f
 Mir. Hitchcock intends to direct the work in all parts of the country, but will name a vice-chairman later who will be in charge at Chicago when Mir Hitchcock is not there. The headquar- ters Of Secretary Elmer Dover also will be In Chicago.
 It was late today when Chairman Hitchcock returned from his Sunday night excursion into New Jersey. which was taken mainly for the purpose of calling on Cornelius B. Bliss, former treasurer of the committee, at his home at Seabright. Because of the wreck of freight train at Railway, N T., the National Chairman was unable to get to Seabright and the conference with MT. Bliss has been postponed. h. stead of going to seabright, Mir. Hitch cock went to Atlantic City, where he conferred with H. Coleman De Port. member of the committee from Dela- ware. Mfr. pu Pont Is a member Of the Executive Committee which is ad- visoTy to the chairrnan, and has been urged to take charge of the speakers bureau This Is regarded as one of the most important positions in the campaign and an announcement of an appointment may be expected within q few days.
 Col. w. R. Andrews chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican state Committee. met Mir. Hitchcock at Phil adeiphfa and conferred with him re- gardine the situation in the Keystone State. This State will furnish a num- Der of speakers who will discuss the issues with view of reaching the la bor votes.
 When Mir Hitchcock returned here he conferred with William l.. Ward, the member of the committee from New York, but the National Chairman declined to be drawn Into an expression of opinion concerning the nomination that should be made for the Governor- ship of this State. ....
 The general impression is that the Federal administration would be op- posed to the turning down of Governor Hughes for a second term, and that. Mir. Hitchcock holds the same view. but he has refused to discuss the question.
 Senator Crane of Massachusetts spent some time with MT, Hitchcock tonight. The conference was sought by MT. Hitchcock.

 The party had been on VisN to hills near Burllngame and was return ing to San Mateo. where both families have their summer homes. coming down a steep grade near Crystal Lake Miss Ethel Mccormick endeavored to cheek the speed of the car by applying the foot brakes.
 It failed to hold the automobile. which was rapidly gaining q danger ous headway down the hill, and Miss Mccormick hastily threw on the emer- gency brakes. They snapped almost instantly. Fearing that she could not guide the huge car in safety to the bottom of the grade, on account or the sharp turns in the road, the young woman endeavored to steer 1t against the high bank on the right. believing that the friction on tse wheels would bring 1t to a stop. he front wheel, however, struck a large rock. swerved sharply to the left. and the next mo- ment the car plunged down the steep embankment, striking thirty-five feet below against a large tree. So terrine was the force with which the auto mobile struck the tree that the oeeu- pants were shot out of the car as from a catapuit, landing on another road, twenty feet below. .
 Mrs. Mccormick. her daughter, Clara, and infant son of Mrs. O'Brien struck on their heads and were in- stantIy killed. Mrs. Ira o'Brien and her three-year -old son, Ira. died three hours later In the Red Cross hospital at San Mateo

Ship Rlvetters and Their Employers
 Have Disagreement.
 Stettin. Aug. S.--The lockout of 5000 ship rivetters, which is in effect at the Vulcan ship Building Yards here, threatens to spread throughout the country.
 The trouble had it's origin in the re- fusal of the men to accept the terms of their employers relative to the pay ment of over time rates and in their objection to working extra hours in the completion of contracts. The compie- ton of several ships has been delayed by the reasons of the attitude of the workmen.
 The local iron masters association today decided to reduce the output of all furnaces 60 per cent, beginning next Saturday. in order to force the men,. and should this measure not induce the rivetters to return to work, 1t Is the intention of the iron masters to lay a proposition before the German National Federation of Metal Workers to close their works throughout the Empire.

S.--Three success ful flights in his aeroplane were made by Henri Farman, the navigator, at the Brighton Beach race course this afternoon, beginning at 4:30 o'clock. Each was straight ahead. On his nrst flight he covered about two-thirds of the distance, at height of never more than six feet. The second flight was a little longer, and on the third he trayersed the entire distance, about 800 yards. This last time the machine was twenty feet above the ground. The weather was ideal for the exhi- bitions and the aeroplane skinned along like a swallow The spectators. who included several local aeronauts, were most enthusiastic. A novel prelimi- nary to the flight was the loosing of about twenty-five toy balloons so that Farnan might judge Of the wind cur- rents.
