out and recognized them. The inmates
acquitted him of all blame, but he was
imprisoned because he refused to dis

and at length he was condemned by
a court martial to die. When he was
on the gallows Lord CORVALLIS, sur

saying: Campbell, what fool you are
TO die thus! Disclose the names of the
guilty men and you shall be immedi-

You are in the midst of a cam

A Phrase Explained.

Medicus tells US that It makes him
mad whenever he sees some writer US
ing the old southern phrase the spit
an image" without showing any knowl-
edge of what it means. Medicus says
that he has even seen it spelled thus:
1.-The spittin' image" So we have seen
In the works of an English novelist:
Hes the spit and image of his ia
ther, as they say in America"
And an American short story writer
makes a negro character say:
"Yassuh. He's de spittin' image Of
his ma"
The phrase was originally 1.-The spirit
and image" explains Medicus. OF
course that means that one person Is
both mentally and physically like an
other. Southern people are careless
about their RS. so the phrase became
"the spit an image" and 1.-The spittin'
mage."-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Hydroaeroplanes.

The idea of the hydroaeroplane was

In case of accident the machine would

Probably the first to make the floats
an integral part of his machine was
Fabre, who on March %, 1910, made
the first fight with a practical hydro
aeroplane at Martignes on the Seine.
Curtiss soon abandoned floats and built
boat bodies, and for this accomplish

WALL STREET HAS WAGERED
100000 SINCE ELECTION.
Closeness of Result Causes Unprece-
dented Speculation-Wilson 2 to 1
Fayorite at Finish,


New York, Nov. 9.-(Special. Not
outstanding practically all advices
that came to the financial district indi-
Gated President Wilson had carried
California, thereby ipsuring his re-elec-
tion, there still werd many persons who
chung to the hope these indications
might prove incorrect.
AS a result the scenes enacted on the
Broad street curb market Wednesday
to a large extent were duplicated. A
number of brokers forsook their ordi-
nary pursuits of buying and selling
stocks and devoted themselves exclu-
sively to placing wagers.
At the opening of business the sup
porters of Hughes manifested slight
confidence their candidate eventually
would win by accepting the odds then
offered on President Wilson of 10 to Z.
Soon, however, as the news from the
west gradually became more and more
favorable to the democrats the odds
in favor of the president broadened
perceptibly and before noon as good as
21h to 1 was freely wagered that he
would be reelected. Plucking up a
little more courage, the adherents of
Hughes drove the odds down to 10 to s
on Wilson, but they remained at that
figure for, only brief spell.
In the closing hour or so the betting
on Wilson went to 215 to 1 for big
wagers, while as good as 315 to 1 was
placed on him in small amounts. The
final quotation of the day was Wilson
to 1 bid.
The amount wagered on the general
result was approximately $750,00O
This makes about 100000 that ha:
been bet in Wall street since the clos
ing of the polls, something that never
has been heard of before.
The largest single wager of the day
was that of $4,000, placed by Stock
exchange firm, that Wilson would be
reelected.

Coming Into Harvest Time.

Word comes from the wheat fields of
Nebraska that harvest is under way.
Conditions are far more encouraging
than last year, when the fields were
SO wet that harvesters could not work.
While no sure statement of the yield
may yet be made, the indications are
that it will be above the normal for
Nebra ska, some investigators saying
the crop will be the finest ever har-
vested in the state. While the total
acreage planted to winter wheat in the
state is somewhat below that of last
year, it is not so greatly reduced as
in other wheat growing sections,
which means that Nebraska will hold
its position Of importance as a wheat
producer, and that its farmers will
share in the prices that must be paid
for the grain during the next year
The crop of the entire country will be
about 30O.000.000 bushels less than in
1915, while the Nebra ska yield will
equal if it does not exceed the figures
for that year This spells prosperity
for the farmers here.-Omaha Bee.

HIGHER PRICES OF MEATS DUE

Figures to Defend Charges Being

Disease and Exposure Factors in
Keeping Down Production.

Washington, July 7.-Just as repre-
sentatives Of the Chicago packers ar
rived in Washington today to fight
charges before the house judiciary
committee that they are boosting the
price of meat without sufficient cause
the federal department of agriculture
made public report on meat produc-
ton. in which it stated that the in
crease in price is wholly due to the de-
crease in live stock production.
The packers representatives re-
ceived the report from the department
of agriculture with much pleasure, and
will use it in their arguments tomor-
row, when they will oppose the Bor-
land resolution demanding an inquiry
into their methods of conducting BUSH
ness by the federal trade commission.
Lays Behind Population.
According to the department OF
agriculture meat production has not
kept pace with the increase in popula-
ton, and its failure to do so, COM
bined with increased cost Of produc-
ton and diminished purchasing
power of the money unit, has con-
trihuted TO higher prices not only in
the United States, but all over the
world.
This country, it says, is participant
ing in a worldwide movement and 1t is
not expected that the situation Will
undergo any radical change in the i'm
mediate future. On the other hand, 1t
is believed that there will be gradual
growth and expansion in the world
production Of beef, mutton, and pork
which may or may not equal the rate
of increase of the meat eating popula-
ton.
In America the department says a
gradual expansion appears to have be-
gun already. Between 1907 and 1913
there was a marked decline in the
number of cattle in the country, but in
the last two years this has not only
stopped, but has given way to per-
ceptible increase.
61,441 900 Cattle in v. S.
The estimated number on farms and
ranges on Jan. /, 1915, 6l,441,00O, IS,
however, still much below the cor
responding figure for 1907, 72,534,000.
With exceptions Of temporary charac-
ter, due to loss from hog cholera, there
has been in recent years, persistent
increase in the production Of swine
On Jan. l, 1915, the number in the
country was estimated at 100000. as
compared with 5S,2O0,OO0 in April, 1910.
On the other hand. the number OF
sheep declined during this period from
$500, 600 In 1910 to 49,200,000 in 1915.
AS the decrease, however, is not suffi-
Gent to offset the increase in cattle
and swine, the department says that
the total production of meat in the
United States is increasing. but that
this increase is not yet proportionate
to the growth in population.
Disease and Exposure Factors.
The report Of the department points
out that the available supply Of meat
would be much greater if it were not
for the enormous losses caused by
disease and exposure.
Despite these facts, the United
States remains the greatest meat eat
ing as well as the greatest meat pro-
ducing nation in the world.
