Count zeppelin's Machine Stands
 Searching Test

Friedrichshafen, July i.-Count Zeppelin's airship Monday stood bril- liantly the longest andsaaost gsearching test it has yet undergone. It re- mained in the air for GA hours, at taining an average speed of 34h
 miles an hour throughout, although for a short time the speed reached 3Sh miles, the highest speed yet ac- complished. The wireless apparatus successfully underwent severe experi- ments, working without hitch during the entire period Count Zeppelin came here from Dresden to supervise the tests. The balloon left the float ing shed shortly before noon and was towed mile by a motorboat. Then utilizing only It's dynamic force, and without casting out any ballast 1t as- cended slowly and majestically to an altitude of 1000 feet. It started off toward Constance al full speed and then turned in the direction of Roman shorn. in Switzerland. where it went through long series of maneuvers, all the apparatus working to the ut most satisfaction. It then made a de- scent to the surface of the water and communicated with the accompanying motor boat. It rose again and pro ceeded to Rorschach, at the other end of the lake. propelled by the full force of the engines against rather brisk wind. Later 1t was allowed to drift back to Friedrlchshafen from whence 1t made a dash for a long stretch at top speed with the wind in its favor us far as Constance, where further maneuvers were gone through. The trip ended within two miles of the baIloon shed. It was lowed home. ar irving there at 6:S0 p. m.

Wander, son of J. c. and Sallie Whitaker, was born October "A, 1887, and died April 24, 1908. He leaves a father, mother and one brother to mourn the loss of a loved one. Wander was a quiet, unassum- ing young man, his friends were many and he was respected by all who knew him. He met his death by being drowned. We know that he has gone to meet a merciful God. He will be greatly missed by his parents who were so faithful to care for their dear son in his affections. We will say to his father, mother, brother and friends that Wander has only crossed over the river that we, too, mast some day pass over. Be loved parents you have done what you could toward your departed son and the memory of this will be soothing balm to your bereaved hearts in the days to come.

WANTS NEW YORKER
NEBRAskA's VOTE FOR ANY MAN THAT STATES DELEGATES
 UNITE ON.
GRAY, OF DELAWARE, | STRONG SECOND
Should Mir. Bryan Be Elected Special Session of Congress Will Be Called to Act on Tariff Revision--Judge Gray Still a Candidate for First Place.

Lincoln, July 1.-The Nebraska dele approve any New York man on whom the factions of that state can unite for vice president. Failing in this Ne braska will vote solidly for Judge Gray for vice president. The record of Judge Gray is regarded as that of the best for pleasing the labor votes and 1t is for these votes that the Democratic party is going to make its strongest bid, assert the Nebras- kans.
 The Nebraska delegation, which is considered in accord with MT. Bryan in every particular, is standing for a strong anti-injunction plank that will satisfy the demands of President Com pers and other labor leaders. This element will be further placated by the nomination of Judge Gray for vice president if the New York factions cannot agree on a man.
 The visit of Josiah Marvel of Will mington, Del, the manager of the  Judge Gray campaign. has accentuat- ed the belief that the Delaware man is persona grata with MT. Bryan. MT. Marvel, who visited at Fairview for some time, has not given out any statement further than that Judge Gray will be the nominee for presi- dent.
 
 The tariff plank of the Democratic platform will be very similar to those in the platforms of former years. The attitude of Nebraska Democrats on the tariff has not changed and they demand revision at once, according to widely known Democrat who is close to Mir Bryan. It Is probable, accord ing to this man, that special session will be called next spring if Bryan is elected, although this is not positive
