Result of Two Experiments.

For instance, the Department OF Agri-
culture wanted to build up milch
goat industry in this country several
years ago and imported large and
promising herd of goats from Malta.
where. il is said, goats produce more
milk per goat than i'm any other coun-.
try. But the goats all had Malta fever,
and after the death of two people who
drank their milk the animals were
killed.
Next the department tried to import
herd from Switzerland. where, IL is
claimed they have a very fine strain
of milk producing goat But about
that time there was an especially viru-
lent outbreak of foot and mouth dis
ease i'm the goat latitude. and as this
country had recently had a brief ex-
perience with foot and mouth disease.
which cost 100000 to stamp out, the
goat experiment WAS again abandoned.
Now the experiment station at Be
thesda. Md. is trying new schemej
1t has imported lot Of goats from
Alabama. guaranteed TO be acclimated
and free from foot and mouth disease
and Malta fever. The management
claims it will be able 10 raise milking
goats that will be pure and undehled.
They may not give much milk IN the
first few generations as do the foreign
goats. but they will have other ad-
vantageS.

Test Decided Against Bryan.

Chairman Smyth ordered roll call on
the amendment and the gathering was 81
!ef,. a. the vote of the counties was called
that would determine the strength of Mr..
Bryan. When two-thirds had been called
the foes of Mr.. Bryan realized that he
was defeated and d wave Of cheers that
drowned the ron call began.
AS Chairman Smyth finally read the re-
suit. 46o against the amendment to :,94 in
favor of it. the delegates sounded a fresh
volume of cheers that seemed to indicate
their relief from the uncertainty that had
existed to the strength which Mr.
Bryan might develop in the convention.
The original motion of Mr. Hitchcock
them was adopted.
AS the vote which deposed Bryan from
the leadership of the party was slowly
taken. Mr. Bryan sat without moving a
muscle, his mouth tightly closed but
there were small beads of perspiraticn
on his forehead. When the result was an
nounced and the tremendous round of
applause followed, Mr.. Bryan folded his
arms and looked about him.

MAKES IMPAssIONED APPEAL

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 27.-Amid
tumult of cheers from the former fol-
lowers of William j. Bryan, Chairman
Smyth Of the democratic state convention
yesterday afternoon read the result of a
test vote of the gathering, practically
taking from Mr. Bryan the democratic
leadership of Nebraska, which he has
maintained for many years.
The vote came on a motion made by
Representative G.. NJ. Hitchcock, a can
didate for the senatorial nomination. and
in effect was to eliminate the introduction
of platform planks, with accompanying
speeches. unless submitted as a section
of the ma jority or minority report of the
committee on resolutions
MIR. Bryan, seated as a member of the
Lancaster county delegation, was upon
1iS feet at once with a protest, and
proffered an amendment that would modi-
fy the intent of the original motion. "A
dozen delegates made as many motions
and heated speeches on the question, the
Bryan adherents denouncing the Hitch
cock motion as gag rule and their OPP
ponents asserting that individual rule
must not prevail in the convention

Bryan Asks No Mercy.

Mr.. Bryan. speaking from the platform
i'll behalf of the minority plank presented
by him, was greeted by shouts of ap-
plause He said. in part:
IF | have advocated that which is
not good for the state let me feel your
wrath. If you find have done any
thing that is not for the good of the
democratic party do not ask your
mercy.
Who less than could desire to dis
rupt the democratic party? Am I not
aware what "a Reputation at your hands
will mean to me-
ut has been said that | am making
this fight because / am net a candidate.
Nothing could be more untrue
Mr. Bryan referred to the political bat
ties he had Waged, and declared that he
had been fearless when his own future
seemed at stake. Continuing he said:
Attacks His Opponents.
Il have been called a dictator for ex-
here today have expressed their senti-
ments. BY what law am compelled to
remain silent when l feel that the good
name of my state is at stake? 1t has

republicans who refused to aid in it.
Il expect to be in politics fer MANY
years yet. I expect to aid in the work
of the democratic party. but | will not
remain silent when a band of political
assassins attacks me.
Il am not willing to admit that this
is final settlement of this question"
continued Mr. Bryan, and on moral
question l am not afraid to express my
opinion and stand on it. if l have to
stand alone"
Alleges Conspiracy.
Mr.. Bryan said he had learned on his
return from South America of the plan
to betray Nebraska into the hands of
the liquor interests. He said the cleo
ton OF United States senators and state
officials was part of the conspiracy,
and that he felt called upon to prevent
the political burglary of the state"
THE republican party and the populist
party Of this state have adopted county
option" said Mr.. Bryan in conclusion.

issue. Your speakers say the tide is
turning toward democracy In national

Economy in Goat Milk.

One point OH which Health Officer
Woodward is insistent is the economy OF
goat milk The Department Of Agricul-
ture has figured out officially that a goat
east only an eighth as much as COW
Goats milk will make butter, too, though
that is not what 1t is intended for. The
butter will not keep and therefore has
to he eaten fresh from the churn. Wheft
so eaten ii cannot be distinguished from
the best grade of other butter.
Abroad where goats are naDitually usef
for dairy purposes they save much or
the expense of milk delivery OF which
the dairymen complain The goats are
sent around by a boy and are MIXED at
the door, the customer naming the
q mount to be squeezed out and not pay
ing for the froth. Some OF the off1cia
of the Department of Agriculture who
have recently been abroad and have seen
this scheme in operation say the theorH.
of delivering the milk i'm the original con-
tainer may be all right. but that the de-
tails are not appetiZing.
OF course, if goat is kept by pri-
yate family i'm town, the cost OF feed
might be excessive, though Hea.tn
Officer Woodward says it would not But
if the goat keeper is suburbanite the
goats are warranted to be an ornament
to any front lawn.
One Disadvantage Noted.
The only disadvantage they have In
this connection is that they are omniVer-
ous and are likely TO flourish In the
company of flowers more than the now
ers flourish i'm their company. Ihey are
of special value, however, II there is
apy woodland on the place to be cleared
They will eat underbrush in preference
70 Grass and three goats are said to DO
more clearing work in day than
man can do with a grubbing hoe.

Auto Makes Rapid Run.

The aid of the Bridgeport Emergency
Hospital staff and the automobile am
bulance was obtained through special per-
mission. The big machine made the trip
to and from the beach, which is ten miles
from Bridgeport, at a siXtymile rate. On
ordinary cases it is not allowed to leave
the city limits.
DIR. Graves was forty-seven years old,
member of the staff of the Bridgeport
Hospital and a specialist in gynecoogy.
He was known through Connecticut and
was regarded as an expert. He was
prominent in church work. and taught d
Sunday school class i'm the First Meth
odist Church of Bridgeport.
Mrs. Graves. the daughter of one ply
sician and wife of another, has for years
adhered to the tenets of Christian Science
and strove to convert her husband to
that belief. tIIer father was the late DIR.

who was one of the first to demonstrate

Feared Second Stroke.

About two weeks ago he suffered
stroke of apopleXy. Calmly diagnosing
his own case, he concluded that sec
ohd stroke would soon be due and that
it would surely be fatal He confided
this to his friends, and, while he showed
no symptoms of nervousness, his &C
quaintanceS believe that his approach
ing fate preyed upon his mind and in
duced him to make away with himself
to end the nervous strain.
Mrs. Graves, who is a Christian Scien-
fist. sought. to eradicate her husband S
belief in his approaching death and strove
to convince him that Christian Science
could save him, though his own medicines
might be powerless. The doctor resisted
the pleadings of his wife.
Taking his medicine chest with him, he
walked to the beach near his cottage, lay
down beneath tree and prepared a dose
of all the most powerful poisons avail
able.
Swallowing the concoction, he quietly
stretched out and awaited death. 1t was
just at this moment that Mrs. Graves
came upon him. Suspecting the worst
from the phials which lay scattered
about, she summoned aid at once.

Railroad Seems Assured

The assertion is made by those who
hold to the railroad theory that the
Harmon Il Morrow property, being a
young property and one of the best
showings, was left open to serve as
as bait for boom. The point is we'll
taken, for the reason that the property
was in no way tied up when the news
of the strike was given out, and sever
al engineers who had been commune
Gated with have been there and ex-
amined it within the last ten days.
The question naturally arises: "Were
these engineers so timed that they
were to be on the ground together and
thus by their presence arouse an inter
est in mining in central Idaho that
could not have been aroused in any
other way. If such was the program,
the crippled railway service was the
only thing that prevented its being
carried out. And, again, if such a
program was mapped out, the coming
of the railroad, in the near future, is
assured.-Mining News.

Grabbing Up Mining Claims

Is there an under current in the
mining affairs of central Idaho which
the people here are just beginning to
know about-is there a concerted
movement by representatives of some
corporation bent upon gaining control
of all the best mining properties in
Elk City and Ten Mile districts?
This is question that has forced
itself upon the minds of mining men
the past week.
1t has developed that before the
great strike in the Harmon Il Morrow
property was made public, nearly all
of the properties along the river had
already been "tied up" Several sales
hive been made since the first news of
the strike, and other deals are pending
and sales will be made soon.
Theories Advanced
Several theories are advanced as to
the probable agencies back Of this
wholesale purchase of the mines, and
two of the theories stand out in bold
relief. One is that railway is pro-
jected this way, and subsidiary or
ganization Of the company is availing
itself of the opportunities afforded
through advance information. One
man whose opinion is entitled to some
weight remarked: 81 will not be sur
prised if work on the extension of the
Northern Pacific is started within the
next sixty days" A mining man,
one of the principals in recent big
sale, remarked: 81 believe big SYM
dictate got our property, and he added,
81 believe it is the Guggenheims."
Queer Coincidence in Sales
There was queer coincidence in
two of the recent sales. The bonds on
both of the properties had expired,
and when the sales finally were made,
the negotiations were by men who had
not examined the properties they were
buying, denied acquaintance with both
the engineers and bond-holders in the
prior deal and yet they were perfectly
familiar with the properties themsel.
YES. "Why, the men we sold to knew
more about our property than we did
ourselves" remarked one man who
was party to a 100000 sale last
week.
