been before exhibited in Nebraska for the
reason that game fish hatch mostly in
midwnter at which time there are seldom
exposltions at which they might be eX-
hibited.
All the game fish Indigenous to the waters
Of Nebraska and the country tributary to
Omaha will be shown Mr.. o Brien has
some splendid specimens of all known
kinds of trout, mountain, speckled, rain
| bow, brown. brook, etc. Crapples of the
| different varieties will delight the eyes
of the fishermen and all kinds of bass will
fit around in their close confinement.
Huge Catfish.
Huge catfish will have a tank to them
| selves. The Missouri Platte and Elkhorn
rivers have some immense catfish which
respond at times to the lure of the hook
Some of these have been caught weighing
over 100 pounds and acknowledgement
catfish is of a common occurrence. Cat
fish are recognized by many people as
just as fine a fish for eating purposes as
glide through the streams. They are com
paratvely free from bones and have firm,
white meat
| Sun fish will be exhibited of large and
| small variety. The youth of Omaha Is
is familiar with this fish, for that is the
kind that he can catch the easiest at
Carter lake, and many a small lad of
Omaha has caught a sun fish as his first
catch of the finny tribe.
Millions Last Henr.
| That nearly 100000 fish were planted
during the last two years in the various
lakes, streams and ponds of Nebraska is
reported by Superintendent O'Brien of the
state fish hatcheries I'm his resume of the
work OF his department.
The fish include all those Matched arti-
| ficially at Gretna and Valentine all taken
from overflow waters and all transplanted
or purchased. They ranged in size from
| two weeks old to mature size.
OBrien recommends a law limiting the
size of all fish taken and asks for fund
to enable fish to be taken from overflow
waters and drying ponds before they per-
| ish.
! The superintendent Of the fish hatchery
would protect catfish, pickerel, sunfish
and bullheads as well as other fish by for
bidding that they be caught under a GER
! tain size.
More Farmers Want Fish.
! Stream improvement, irrigation bitches
and ponds created thereby. have caused
the farmers Of Nebraska to take more in
tereSt in the fish Of these lakes and
streams. 1t is possible to stock almost
every such pond and plans are being made
for a fish exhibit Of these in connection
with the Western Land Products exhibit.
1t will be the first such exhibit made at
Nebraska exposition since 1898, when an
extensive fish exhibit was made at the
Trans Mississippi exposition.

COPENHACEN. Jan. r.-(Special to rhe
Ree)-A tempest In a teapot has been
caused in Norway by queen Maud, Her
majesty. who is devotodly attached TO her
7-year-old son. Prince Olaf in order TO
help a local charity issued a beautifully
decorated Christmas carol illustrated With
pictures os the little prince. While the
Norwegiars arc very fond Of the baby
prince. they are also very religious and
some OF the pictures in connection with
the carol come pretty near the line OF
being saCrileRious to their minds placing
the prince on the plane Of the Divine
Child whose birthday Is celebrated on
Christmas Hence the action Of the queen
Is being severely criticised In some quar-
tiers.
Threatened sensation.
Much interest Is felt in remarkable law
suit which is set for trial here next week.
Among the witnesses summoned are their
maiesties the Dowagcr Queen Sophia OF
Sweden and queen Louise of Denmark,
who was born Swedish princess and
Princes Carl and Eugene. That any OF
these royal personages will appear in
court Is not believed,
The plaintiffs are the heirs Of Hilga de
Ia Brash. who died i'm 1855. In her will
she made this remarkable declaration:
MY parents we're King Gustavus Nv OF
Sweden and his consort. Princess Fred
erikke OF Baden. That this is true can be
proved by four letters which ! have de-
| posted with the Cthen) Crown Prince Os-
! car, the late king of sweden
IL is for the purpose OF proving the eN-
| istence and contents Of these letters that
the royal witnesses are called. II the
! case comes to trial some very interesting
developments are expected, whether the
queens and princes testify or not 1t Is
regarded as possible, however, that the
! case will be settled out of court.
Frederick I'm vienna.
| The king OF Denmark has been staying
for week at Vienna on private business
in strict incognito and he has paid visit
TO the duke and duchess OF Cumberland at
their country seat near Gmunden, King
Frederick may very likely visit Frankfort
and Paris on his way back to Copen-
hagen. His majesty travels as Count
Kromberg, and he Is attended by one
equerry only.
| Prince Waldemar of Denmark, youngest
brother of Queen Alexandra, is going to
England shortly on a visit to her majesty
at sandrngham hall, and will probably
be accompanied by his daughter, Princess

sources by the Preparation of

When the management of the Western
Land Exhibits company decided to show
fish in the different processes Of artificial
Matching it struck upon a subject in which
all are Interested. Everyone likes fish to
eat and all like to see the little beauties
fitting around in the water. Fish are one
of the great resources of the growing west

year as the streams are being stocked from
the hatcheries from the various states.
Fish Commissioner OBrien, in charge of
the Nebraska state fisheries at Gretna, will

ium, along the west wall. in full view of
ALL Mr.. o Brien has had many years of ex-
perience I'm handling fish and is the best
posted man in the west on fish culture and
breeding. Under his direction the streams
of Nebraska have been made to abound
in fish of the best kind, and carp and
many other undesirable kinds of fish have
been seined from the different lakes along
the Missouri river and all through the
state
Many years ago carp were planted in the
streams of Nebraska, but 1t has been found
that these are not a desirable fish as they
are Of the sucker variety and prey upon
the eggs of the game fish thus cutting
down the increase Of the more desirable
fish
The land show comes at most opportune
time for the placing OF a fish exhibit for at
this season of the year the game fish are
Matching and the artificial incubation OF
trout win be shown in full view of all the
visitors.

DECLARES DEAL
CHECKED PANIC
Roosevelt Defends Absorption
OF Tennessee Steel.

New York, Aug. 6.-Former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt vigorously
justified his action in not opposing the
sale of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company TO the United States Steel
corporation when he appeared before
the congressional committee which is
investigating the SO called steel trust.
The eX-president had been requested
to appear to tell Of the part he had
taken in the historic deal by means of
which the steel corporation acquired
possession OF the immense rich ore
deposits owned by the Southern com
pany, and his testimony took the form
of a written statement, in which he
set forth in detail every step taken by
him in sanctioning that transaction,
together with his reasons for acting
as he did.
He did not advise the transaction,
he said, but he did not forbid it, be-
cause he believed it imperatively
necessary that something should be
done to check the panic which was
beginning to spread throughout the
country. That the action he took ac-
complished just what it was intended
to accomplish, was a complete justifi-
cation for every move he made, he
commended

COURT ENDS DIES
MONIES STRIKE
Orders Ljtigants to Arbitrate
Their Differences.

Des Moines, Aug. S.-Street cars
are running again, strikebreakers
have disappeared and attention now
centers IN District Judge De Graft,
who will soon hear arguments on his
mandatory injunction directing the
street car company to %reinstate Con-
ductor Hiatt and put the striking car
men back to work and ordering the
Garments union to revoke it's strike
order and return to work.
The courts order is temporary and
was issued at the request of City So
licitor Brennan, working under orders
of the city council, to stop the strike.
Brennan contended that the COM
pany and the union had entered into
a contract, one provision Of which
was an AGREEMENT to arbitrate all diff
ferences; that the company violated
the contract when it discharged Hiatt
without arbitrating the case as de-
manded by the union.
Brennan holds that the city has a
right to intervene, because the com
pany is using it's streets, because it
is a public service corporation upon
which the public depends for neces-
sary transportation, and because the
riots caused by the strike menaced
public life and property, making it the
duty Of the city to intervene to pro
tect it's citizens.

NORTH DAKOTA SHOWS GAIN
Improvement in Crop Conditions, Ac-
cording to GiIbreath.

Commissioner Of Agriculture Gil
breath's weekly crop report says eX-
cepting a few counties of limited crop
acreage the tone of the report shows
a marked improvement in the agri-
cultural outlook.
Rain and cool night have greatly
ameliorated the s~tringency of condi-
lions in the western parts of the state,
especially for flax and late sown
grains.
Scattering reports of rust are coming
in from counties where cutting is gen
eral, but the damage is thought to be
immaterial. Fall sown crops are gen
orally cut and where any threshing
has been done the results indicate a
satisfactory yield. Flax probably will
produce an average crop on a slightly
greater acreage than a year ago,
should present favorable conditions
continue.
Corn will be the best crop of the
season and favorable showing of this
season means a probable doubling Of
the acreage in 1912.
Harvest will be general over the
southern part of the state this week
in early sown wheat, oats, barley and
rye. The hay crop generally is good.

Four Persons Sustain Severe Burns at
Lisbon.

An explosion in the clothes drying
plant of the Pantorium on Main street
at Lisbon severely burned four per
sons. The blast occurred shortly after
a match dropped from a pocket and
was stepped on and was of sufficient
force to hurl two of the men through
g front window.

Minneapolis two weeks ago, is not eX-
pected to live, and Bob Craig, son Of
Rev. Charles Craig Of Lisbon, is in a
similar condition. Harry T. Colby, a

cover. He was taken to Fargo by Mr..
Bates. e. G. Berntzen, whose mother
resides at Minneapolis, was slightly
burned about the face and hands.

PLAN OF RELIEF ABANDONED
Too Many Difficulties Faced in Govern.
ment Work for Settlers.


If the settlers of Bowman county
are to have government work they
must organize a corporation for the
purpose of constructing an irrigation
plant on the Bowman project, con-
tract with the secretary of the interior
to complete the plant, practically mort
gage their lands for the money ad-
vanced by the government, secure the
presidents approval and then get con-
gress to authorize the necessary ap-
preparation.
This is what f. H. Newell, head of
the reclamation service informed Req
resentative Helgesen must be done be-
fore the work which the settlers are
seeking can be provided for them. He
expressed the opinion that if all ele-
ments were favorable the work could
not be finsished in time to be of ma
terial advantage to the settlers.
Mr.. Helgesen has therefore decided
that to introduce legislation now de-
signed to give relief work would be to
hold out false hopes, inasmuch as it
would be futile without the prelimi-
nary steps.

SPERRY JURY DISCHARGED
Report Disagreement for Fourth Time
and New Trial is Ordered.

After having deliberated siXty-four
hours the jury in the sensational Clyde
Sperry murder case at Lakota report

down when it made an effort to report
a third disagreement. Judge Burr re-
fused, for the third time, to receive
such a report and the jury returned to
its room. The reading of a portion

with eight for conviction and four for
acquittal. Long distance jury records
