FAIRvIEW, Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. I6.

and regarded by Democratic leaders
as one calculated 10 strengthen the
party in the campaign. viii be acted
upon b. the Democratic National Com
mittee, upon the occasion of the visit
Of W. J. Bryan to Chicago next week.
Much stress is being laid by the
Democratic nominee on the plank in
the Denver platform relating to the
guarantee of bank deposits, and this
topic will be discussed quite fully by
him in his speech at Topeka, Aug 81.
If the suggestion is followed-and
there is reason to believe that it will
be-every community in which bank
has failed during the past year or
more. will be given especial attention
by the literary bureau. The sufferers
from the failures will be sought out
and provided with arguments through
which ii. is hoped to convince them OF
the soundness of the guaranty plank.
Mr.. Bryan today, as usual, attended
morning services at the little Metho-
dist Church in Fairview In the az
ternoon, a number of Automobiles
from Lincoln, among them Mayor
Frank w. Drawn, rode out and paid
neighborly visits to the Bryan family. .

plain statement of facts, as / swore
out the warrant for his arrest:
We had for sometime been receiv-
ing information that attempts were
being made to intimidate the witness
es for the defendant, Harry P. Gran
berry. On Monday, Aug. 10, learned
from Harry ]. Harlan that man had
been to his place of business to see
him and how he had tried to get a
statement from him in regard to the
CRANBERRY case by threatening him
with violence if he did not give it to
him. After a conference with the
attorneys for the defendant we were
of the opinion that this detectives
conduct and threats were violation
of the statute against malicious
threats, and / thereupon swore out
the warrant as soon as he could be
located, which was about five o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. Myself and
several others heard him phone to
Mr.. VOORHEES, to come. He said to
the magistrate that Mr.. VOORHEES, !
would be there on the $3.50 p. m. train |
and Mr.. VOORHEES, and two others of |
the lawyers for the prosecution, to-
wit: Messrs. Figuers and Dining did |
come to Mt. Pleasant on the $3.50

NEGRO CONSPIRACY A FAKE?
People at Ninety Six so Regard At
fair in Which Twelve Negroes
Were Arrested.

Greenwood, Sept. 15.-There have
been no further developments in the
matter Of the negro conspiracy, So
called, at Ninety Six. The prevailing
opinion here and also at Ninety Six
this afternoon, as ascertained by in
terviews. is. that the thing is {
"fake," scheme Matched up by one
negro to get revenge on other negroes
for wrongs of his own.

informer, the first attack was to have
been made on Sunday night, Septem-
Der Is. it being stated that the moon
would be about right so far as dark
ness WAS concerned at that time.
II all Of this, be true it seems pro-
vidential that the letter addressed to
the Harris negro did not reach him,
but fell into the hands of the sheriff
through the medium Of another per-
son. for Saturday morning Sheriff
Mcmillan started out with warrants
for all of the ringleaders, and by
noon had them safely lodged in the
county jail. As stated in The begin
ming only a few people at Ninety
Six knew anything about the matter,
and it is possible that if all Of the
facts had been known the eleven ne
groes might never have been allowed
to leave the town. However, the
matter was we'll managed, and the
negroes were brought here and put
in Jail without any bodily harm be-
ing done to them.
Saturday afternoon one of them
called to the sheriff and stated that
they did not want a preliminary hear
ing then. This procedure if adhered
to will mean that the whole dozen
will remain in jail here until the
next term Of court Of general ses-
sionS. \ large number Of white peo-
pie at Ninety Six think the whole
thing is a fake. They think the in,
former is up to "spite work. and
is simply trying to get the white
people worked up against certain ne
gro enemies Of his. There is no ex.
element either here or at Ninety
Six whatever. The affair has caused
ed considerable talk, of course, bui
there is no excitement whatever.

Does Advertising Pay

Lillian B. Hill, the well known
writer of humorous advertisements,
said at one of the convention din
ners in Denver:
advertising lends itself to al
most any imaginable purpose. For
instance, at Sea Beach, the other
week, a confectioner found himself
with a great number of stale tarts
on hand. He rid himself of these
tarts, and of all his fresh ones be-
sides, by inserting the following adj
vertisement in the local press:
"Personal-A young man Of
agreeable exterior and ample
means desires to form the acquaint-
ance of a woman; object, matri-
mony. Beauty and wealth are not
so much in requisition as a good
character and an amiable disposi-
ton. Young women who may feel
inclined TO look with favor upon
this young man are hereby asked to
call at Dough's confectionery, on
Atlantic avenue, at o'clock this
AFTERNOON, and, as a means of iden-
tification, to purchase and eat a
tart
"A few minutes after that day
Dcugh's tart shelves were quite
bare"

DEADLY AUTOS
AFTER ENGLISH

A late report from Consul Walter
Hamm, stationed at Hull, England,
shows that staid and careful Eng
land exceeds the United States in
the number of accidents and in the
number of prosecutions and con-
victions of careless motorists-and
the increase in that feature of the
report is important. According to
Consul Hamm there were SO acct
dents in England in April, 1907;
16 persons were killed, 2S were
injured, 1853 motorists were sum-
moned to answer for violation of
the speed laws, or for carelessness
and al were convicted.
In April of this year there were
70 accidents, % persons were kill
ed, 40 were injured, SO motorists
were summoned and POI were con-
victed. The increase in accidents,
injuries and deaths was large-but
so were the increases in the sum-
moning and conviction of motor
lists for driving dangerously, or
carelessly, or for exceeding the
speed limit.

FALL BUILDING

Fall building operations seem to
be opening up in a pretty active
manner. At noon today there were
issued this week 48 building per-
mits by the board of public works
calling for total investment of
$S2,025. This is considered a most
promising indication for big run
of building this fall.
Among the permits issued during
the last "a hours are one for a
two story and half frame resi-
dence to cost $4,000, to be built
on lots 1 and 2, block 10, Mantle

SOUTHERN OREGON
BADLY SCORCHED

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, Sept.
1.-THE destruction of valuable
timber by the fires raging in all
parts of this section still continues.
Thousands of acres have been
burned over along the west shore
of the Upper klamath lake, and
more than 100 men are in the
woods fighting the flames. In the
vicinity of Odell in the north part
of this county, fire has been burn
ing for a few days, and a force of
men has been sent to that section.
Some 20 miles west of klamath
Falls a fire has ragged for several
days, and approximately 20 men
are still engaged holding it in
check. The dry weather has con-
tinued during the entire summer,
and the year is one of the worst
in the history Of southern Oregon
for fires, mostly started by campers
and hunters who do not extinguish
their camp fires.

Whether Big Jim, the monkey,

The wealth of the cornfields be-
tween the Mississippi and the Mis-
souri, rivers, from Spirit Lake to
Keokuk and from Council Bluffs
to Dubuque, Is so great that there
is no lure in the Alaska sands
sparkling with precious metal.
When a man in straw hat and over
alls can go out before breakfast
and pick an ear of corn which is
worth $40 he begins to feel gentle
contempt for the average Wall
street plunger, and when he has
picked 80 others, footing up to
a total of $204.50 more, as one son
of Hawkeye state called McCul-
loch is said to have done, he de-
cides that he can afford to send his
sons to the city to experiment with
the bulls and bears which there do
congregate If they feel so inclined.
The moral of this seems to be,
If there can be any morality con-
nected with the possession of such
wealth as these figures indicate,
that the Iowa farmer is to be con-
graduated on his appreciation of
the wisdom of improving his farm,
his stock and his crops. While the
high value to the acre of Iowa
crops may to some extent be due
to the natural fertility of the soil
and other marks of natures special
favor, we can account for the fact
that the state raises the finest corn
in the country only by taking into
consideration the character of the
men who raise the crop. Much Of
this success is no doubt due to the
