From a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. Especial. >
One fare for the round trip is the special
state fair rate announced today by the
Union Pacific. The rate applies TO all sta
tons in Nebraska and on all trains doing
intrastate passenger business. By an
nouncing the 1-cent-a-mile rate for the
round trip, the Union Pacific cuts under
the other roads of the state for the third
successive time.
As in past years since the establishment
of the 2-cent fare in this state the Western
Rate association, which included all roads
doing business in this state, have fixed
a one and one-third rate for the state fair
from all stations outside thirty-four- mile
radius. The Union Pacific cuts this extra
third off it's rate and includes all stations
without a twenty-five mile radius with this
city as the center.

Is This Another Peril?

While the labor organizations are dis
turbed over the possibility of an influx
of japanese labor, what is to be done re-
garding the situation in the southwest
ern part of Texas?
The call for cotton pickers in that
section is so great that American labor
cannot begin to meet the demand. Con-
sequently. Mexican laborers by the train
load have been brought across the bor-
der. The work is quite profitable, &c
cents a hundred pounds being paid
the capacity of an average picker being
from 400 to 600 pounds day.
The situation is, of course, in the ma
ture of an emergency The cotton must
be picked, and human beings must be
found to pick it. But if Japanese labor
ers had been imported by the train load
for the purpose, the whole country would
have been wrought up over the menace
of the yellow peril.

Worldwide, Cost of Living.

While the people of the United States
are suffering through the increased cost
of living, it may be some satisfaction to
know that the trouble is worldwide. In
Austria, the people are on the verge Of
rioting because the price of food prod
ucts has risen to an abnormal degree,
while in France an almost equal amount
of discomfort is shown because of tine
increased cost of the necessaries of life.
The same story comes from London.
According to the London Mail, which
has been making an exhaustive inquiry
into the situation, potatoes and rice are
the only articles which sell at a lower
price than in 1900. Bread, flour, beef,
mutton, pork, bacon, butter, eggs, sugar,
and even currants and raisinS are all
selling at a marked advance. Bacon is
.3S per cent higher, -four has gone up
20 per cent. and the increase in all the
other nccessaries is enough to make a
marked difference in the cost of living,
OF course. it does not help our own
situation to know that others are in an
equally unfortunate extremity. The
worldwide increase of cost, however, is
of sufficient importance to warrant an
investigation by economic experts, and
they ought to be able to offer an ex-
PLANTATION and a solution.

HARDEN DOES HARD ONE.
Gains Freedom from Packing Box
in Fourteen Minutes.

After struggling for fourteen minutes
within a packing box, in which he was
nailed by members of the shipping de-
store last evening on the stage Of the
Casino Theater, the mysterious Harden
rushed from the cabinet in which the
recepticle had been placed. He pushed
before him the nailed box, apparently in
the same condition as at the beginning
Of the performance.
The theater was crowded to the doors
The strong wooden box, which was made
by Goldenbergs shippers, was brought
upon the stage, and persons in the audi
cree were invited forward to examine
it, Representatives of the shipping de-
partment of Goldenberg's then double
nailed the box on all sides. Hardeen
stepped into the box: the top was Sc
curely nailed on; stout rope was tied
about the box, and 1t was then placed
in the cabinet. Just fourteen minutes
after he had entered the box, the canopy
was thrown aside, and Harden, coat
less and with perspiration streaming
from his face, stepped out.
Those from Goldenberg's store who
helped to nail the box were Mr.. Shears,
Sam Rosenberg, Charles Chute, and Har-
ry Swope.
Harden read letter to the audience
from employees of the navy yard. stat
ing that they were dissatisfied with the
exhibition on Monday, when Harden
escaped from a pair of handouts sup
piled by the navy yard men. The trick
was done in a cabinet. The employees,
in the letter, challenged Harden to es-
cape from a regulation straight jacket
which they would supply. Harden an
nounced his acceptance OF the challenge,
and said that the straight jacket test
will be held during the first performance
on Friday.
