thrown herself on her eldest son to
protect him. escaped unhurt. The po-

The Rev. George l. Wright of Ne

having made cheap campaign.
The Rev. Mr.. Wright is pastor Of the
Methodist church there. Prohibition
lists from all over the state urged him
to become candidate for governor.
AT last he consented, and his filing fee,
$50, was paid by his party. At the re-
cent primaries he won by large ma
jority and he filed his certificate of
nomination.
He was also required to file his eX-
pense account. This shows that he ex-
pended 10 cents for street car fare
riding from the Lincoln depot to the
capitol building and back. His rail
road fare to Lincoln did not count, as
he had to go there on other business.

as State Legislator.
ATTENDED HALF OF SESSIONS

Bill to License Bucketshops In
Michigan, and Voted For More Ap-
preparation Bills Than Any other
Member.
It Is worthy Of note In this cam
paign that Lawton T. Hemans, the
Democratic candidate for governor, is
mailing no reference to his own Of
fetal record. Not word has he ut
tered touching his official perform
ances or attempted accomplishments.
Yet Mr. Hemans was on the salary
list through two full terms as legis-
lator. He was not present at more
than half the sessions of the body to
which he belonged, but he drew pay
for full time.
He introduced bill to provide for
an additional state board But as a
candidate for governor he Is now de-
nouncing the existence of so many
state boards.
Mr.. Hemans introduced bill to IL
cense bucketshops in Michigan. His
bill sought to make the pretended
sales and purchases through bucket
shops Legitimate legal transactions"
What the people Of Michigan think Of
the bucketshop business which would
have been licensed and legalized II

session of the legislature following his

This proposition was especially
urged BY che labor organizations Of

constitution should give this power to

majority Of the members Of the con.

PENNIES DISAPPEAR FAST.
American Mint Officials Fail to Solve
Mystery.

The fact that Uncle Sam had to coin
100000, 900 more pennies in 1910 at the
Philadelphia mint has started the gov
eminent trying again to find out where
the pennies go, something that has re-
NAMED a mystery.
The small coins disappear from cir
culation more than any other, and no
body knows what becomes Of them. A

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of Native Birds
Blamed For Loss of Valuable Groves
by New York Botanical Expert.
The immigrant chestnut seller on the
street corner, who has been a feature
Of the fall landscape In New York and
other large cities since shortly after
the days of Henry Hudson, Is about at
the end Of his rope.
This Is the last autumn probably, ac-
cording to statistics, that there will be
enough chestnuts In America for him
to sell unless they are imported. And
the imported chestnut is not as good
as the little native nut.
Victims Of Cancer.
Everywhere throughout the country
hundreds of thousands Of handsome
chestnut trees stand dead or dying of
the fearful chestnut canker, the para
site fungus known to science as dis
porthe parasitica murrill, name given
it in honor of DR.. William ~ Murrill,
assistant director Of the New York bO-
tanical park, who first called attention
to the deadly disease. The fungus de-
stroys the inner bark Of the tree, and
when it has eaten its way all around
the tree dies.
All up the Hudson there are thou
sands Of barkless trees standing dead
in the forests and private grounds.
John ID. Rockefeller tried desperately
to save his trees, but the fungus made
no exception of his magnificent estate
at Pocantico Hills.
The government at Washington is
trying to discover some way of saving
the trees, but has not yet succeeded. 1t
may be possible, botanists say, that
some trees on islands far removed from
the chestnut belt and some Of those of
the American species in foreign coun-
tries that have been taken from Amer
lea as curiosities may be saved and
spread the benefcent trees over the
earth again.
Salvation Is Vague.
In that way alone it is hoped to save
the AmeTlCdl variety. Dul IL ID uullll-
ted there is little hope of saving the
forests, even those not yet attacked.
The effect already is to reduce the
price of chestnut lumber, which Is used
to large extent for electric poles and
for manufactures, and TO make fire
wood cheaper in some towns, but In
the end it is thought it will make the
lumber almost priceless.
"This scourge and its attendant loss
to humanity" said a botanist connect
ed with the New York botanical park,
SHOULD again draw attention to the
danger we run from letting people kill
our native birds. 1t is very likely that
some of the birds that have been re-
duced almost to extinction had the all
important duty of keeping this partic-
ular enemy Of the chestnut in subjec-
ton and that with the disappearance
Of the birds the pest got the upper
hand, and now we pay for our care
lessness by losing the trees"
