FEDERAL SEED LABORATORY
AT LINCOLN DISCONTINUED

LINCOLN, Oct. 14.-During the last
three years there has been maintained
through the cooperation of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the Nebraska experiment station a
branch seed laboratory. This laboratory
was connected with the department of
agricultural botany, the head of this
department being the collaboration in
charge of the seed laboratory.
over $500 tests of seeds have been made
during this period, and by this means
and through extensive correspondence
there has been aroused among Nebraska
farmers great interest in pure seeds"
The interest in and demand for pure
seeds of known quality developed by the
work of the Nebraska seed laboratory
was sufficient to induce the last legis-
lature to enact a law governing the sale
OF seeds. The enforcement OF this law
was placed in the hands of the state food,
drug and dairy commissioner.
The state having made provision for
the continuation of this work it has been
deemed best TO discontinue the Nebraska
seed laboratory, Accordingly correspond
ence and samples of seeds for test with
reference to the new seed law should be
sent to the state house. The department
of agricultural botany will continue it's
own investigation of certain seed prob
lens and of Nebraska weeds.

Chancellor Avery
Advises Professors
to Visit Association
(From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. 1I-(special.)
Chancellor Avery of the state
university today made public the follow
ing announcement:
ITO all members of the teaching and
administrative staff:
"By vote of the teachers, the state
teachers association will be held in
Omaha, November s, 9 and 10. At this
gathering the presence of a large num-
Der of representatives from the Univer-
sity of Nebraska will be noted and APP
preciated.
Douglas county, in which Omaha is
located pays relatively large portion
Of the taxes that support this institu-
ton. 1t sends us large number of ex-
cellent students. Three of our regents
reside there. There is, therefore, every
reason why the university authorities
should desire to have the institution well
represented at the coming association.
Il would suggest that all professors
and others who can do so, arrange their
work. through assigning their classes to
assistants, so as to be present at least
part of the time at the association. l
would request the deans to excuse all
university students who wish to attend
regularly the sessions of the association.
The deans will. df course, use discrimina-
| ton in issuing leaves of absence.
MANY professors giving work in the
teachers college may find 1t desirable
to adjourn their classes for the days
covered by the association meetings. In
word, any suspension of work in any
of the colleges which will result in the
actual attendance Of teachers or students
at the state teachers association, VII
have my cordial approval
| IL am especially anxious that the
university should be we'll represented
owing to the fact that on account OF
the postponement for one day of my adj
dress at the semi-centennial of the Uni
versity of Washington, 1 shall not be
able to return for the last day of the
association, as l had hoped to be able
to do when 1 accepted the invitation.

Telegram Investigation of two fresh

Overton murder mystery by Sheriff
Bradley and two deputy sheriffs from
Omaha, assisted by Byron Overton.' was
made here today. but so far as is known
brought no results. The officers had
nothing to say and the people here know
nothing more than they did before the
investigation was started.
A mysterious stranger, a young man.
was around Willard last Sunday night
and stopped at a hotel. In the day time
he said he had no money and was in
bad shape, but he disappeared, and when
he came back a little later he had plenty
Of money and some Of it was gold. The
fellows name is not known here, and so
far as can be learned he had no friends
nor acquaintance here. The young fell

whereabouts are not known. The theory
on which he is being searched for is that

of money suggests crooked work some
where.
Since the fellow was here there has

regarding the matter. 1t is supposed II

Another clue, one which came to moth
ing. was a report that a stranger had
come to the bank here and asked A. b
Detweiler to change a 800 note for some
small bills. 1t is not known how this
story got started. as no such thing ever
happened. The suspicious were aroused
because when Overton disappeared hi
had several 500 notes in his possession.
Overton disappeared early in August
His murdered body was found in som,
