PERSONALITY BEYOND DEATH.
Sir oliver Lodge Says Il Transeends
Bodily Existence.


Birmingham, England, Sept IL
Published forecasts of the address of
Sir oliver Lodge. president of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, intimating that he
would make statements of startling
character concerning immortality and
the proof of life after death, altho
publicly denied by Sir Oliver himself.
caused his address at the meeting of
the association last night to be an
ticipated with lively interest and heard
with profound attention.
His subject was Continuity" and
summarized in his own words Sir
divers argument was:
"a marked feature of the present
scientific era is the discovery of. and
interest in, various kinds OF atomism:
so that continuity seems in danger OF
being lost sight Of
another tendency is toward COM
prehensive negative generalzattons
from limited point of view.
Another is to take refuge In rather
vague forms of statement. and to
shrink from closer examination OF the
puzzling and the obscure.
Another Is to deny the existence OF
anything which makes no appeal to or
gans of sense, and no ready response
to laboratory experiment.
Against these tendencies the author
contends. He urges a belief In ulti-
mate continuity as essential to science;
he regards scientific concentration as
an inadequate basis for philosophic
generalization: he believes that OBJ
SQUIRE phenomena may be expressed
simply il properly faced. and he points
out that the non appearance Of any

NEBRASKA WILL HAVE CORN.
Government Report Shows Farmers
Will Raise 104, 900 900 eushsls.

Government Report Shows Farmers
Will Raise 104 ooo.o 900 eushsls.
Omaha. Sept. 11.-According to the
estimates of the government and the
grain men the Nebraska corn crop 10 u
long ways from being q fiat failure.
While the governments report places
the condition OF the crop on Sept. i
as being but 81 per cent perfect. the
estimate Of the total corn yield for the
state is 1O4.0O0O0 bushels ~ against
1872, 900 900 bushels last year. The loss
Of $4,000, 900 bushels in the total Is
quite serious enough to be noteworthy.
but the fact that 104.000.00 bushels re-
mains to be marketed IL proof that the
crop was far from being total loss.
In point of fact. what is left of the corn
crop is much better showing than was
experienced in 1908, when bumper
crop of corn was caught by frost and
proved soft" and unmarketable.
With 65,O0000O bushels Of wheat haf-
vested. with oats on Sept. ranked as
20. and Nebraska fifth in the United
States in point Of total productions;
with the forage crops generally in good
condition, the outlook for the farmer
in Nebraska is far from being the des-
perate situation some have imagined.
The present rains have done great
deal towards putting ground in good
shape for fall blowing and seeding. and
the farmers will be found busy in their
fields. getting ready for another crop
season.

TnEs-REPUB1IcAN,
lYLEs SUIT DISMISSED
Former Minister Drops Damage 40.
ton Brought Against One Of Three
Aecussrs-Possible Thst Other Suits
Will Not Be Pushed to Trial-Lyiss
Successful in New Work.

Council Bluffs. Sept. 11.-Rev. c. s..
yesterday dismissed one Of three suits
for $4,000 damages brought against
fellow clergymen on account OF con-
troversies which were finally brought
into the Iowa conference held at Coun-
Gil Bluffs in 1912. The suit disposed of
yesterday was brought against Rev.
a. D. Davis. a Methodist clergyman To-
Gated at Glencoe. Okla. The other two
suits were against Rev. j. s. Bicknell
of Lovington, ILL.,, and against Rev. B.
f. Shipp of Paris, Ill. Each was for
$4,000. These two suits were trans
ferred from the state to the federal
court, wherethey are still pending
with a probability of likewise being
dismissed.
Rev. Mr.. Lyles was formerly pastor
of the church at Lovington and REV.
Mr. Bic.nell had charge Of the church
at Logan. Iowa. They exchanged pull
pits for several Sundays and each liked
the new location so well that more
permanent change was brought about
by each securing transfer from one
state conference to the other and each
remaining pastor of the new church
and with the approval Of the bishops.
Rev. Mr.. Lyles became very popular
at Logan until some disparaging state
nlents came from Lovington critlclslne
his management of some portions OF
the church finances. The criticism be-
came distorted and misunderstood ana
finally brought about an official church
inquiry, held here, which resulted In
his vindication, but 1t stirred up such
bitter feeling that the damage suits
were filed within few hours after the
close of the hearing, so that service
could be obtained upon the defendants
before they could get out of town.
The suits were based upon state
ments made by Rev. Mr.. Bicknell. Rev.
Mr.. Ship and Rev. Mr.. Davis while
giving their testimony at the inyestl-
cation.
Rev. Mr.. Lyles soon after withdrew
from the ministry to take a more lu-
crative position as a member of the
faculty of the Ames Agricultural Col
lege, where he has since been doing
the best work Of his life. He is said to
be one of the strong men Of the fac
