Cozad, Neb., June 7.-fSpecial Tek-
gram. .)--Cozand is wildly excited over
what citizens believe to be an oil
strike. In excavating for the founda-
tion of vault for the Stockman State
bank an oil stratum of black sand
similar to that found on the William
Bodemer farm, three miles south Of
Cozad was uncovered.
DR.. c. H. Sheets, who took samples
Of the oil, said, "The oil film which
covered the water is about 20 per cent
pure. Samples took burned readily
after the water had been taken out.
That the oil has not been discovered
sooner is undoubtedly due to the fact
that water in encountered two and
one-half feet under. ground. The oil
was struck at the eight-foot level" .
The first indication of oil in the vi
einity was found while digging all ir-
rigation ditch on nfthe William Bode-
mer farm. The oil stratum has been
encountered in four differnt places
while excavating for the bank, which
is located on the principal street
corner of the city. Cozad is located
three-fourths of mile from the Platte

Deficient in "KuItur,"
Says a Berlin Paper

Amsterdam, June THE state
ment accompanying the voluntary
dissolution of the notional German
American alliance, made public at
Philadelphia, April II last, Is arous-
ing doleful comment from the Ger.
man newspapers which revive
earlier complaints that German.
Americans never came up to the
expected support Of kultur in the
new fatherland."
"The only explanation" says
an article in the Lokal Anzeiger
of Berlin, lis that the majority Of
German emigrants are insuficiently
equipped with that commodity.
Our optimism regarding the part
German-Americans would play was
based upon true Grman sentimental
and naive ideas concerning foreign
politics. Now we have awakened
from the, dream and have found
that the supposed allegiance to their
old home land ideals is mere empty
