ISxcctitlrc'H Veto ,
LINCOLN , July 20. ( Special. ) It was an
nounced at the ntatc house this morning that
Adjutant General Barry and Congressman
Stark would leave for San Francisco tomor
row morning to prepare for the home com
ing of the First regiment , expected to ar
rive about July 28. Nn word has been re
ceived from the Nebraska troops since they
left Japan on July 14 , nnd It Is quite prob
able that the remainder of the voyage maybe
bo longer than was at that time estimated.
Governor Poynter will also leave In a few
days for San Francisco , where he will assist
In arranging for the arrival of the soldiers
and tholr welcome to their native shores.
Governor Poynter nnd Adjutant General
Harry have contemplated this trip for sev
eral days , and today the necessary arrange
ments were made lor the advance guard to
leave tomorrow. Governor Poynter Is tak
ing this opportunity of being among the
' llrst to welcome the Nebraska soldiers , hopIng -
Ing that by so doing the 111 effect of his
veto of the resolution may bo somewhat de
stroyed. For several days the employes ot
the governor's olllco have been devoting
tholr spare time to compiling editorials rela
tive to this veto that appeared In the fusion
yircss , t'J of which liave been carefully pre
served for use when the opportunity pre
sents Itself. In collecting these editorial
comments the compiled nro very careful
to save only those that speak complimentary
of the governor's action. It Is understood
that these complimentary notices will betaken
taken to San Francisco either by General
Barry or Governor Poynter and that If the
opportunity presents Itself they will be ex
hibited ns reflecting the sentiments of the
Nebraska people.
In the following order It will be noticed
that the statement , "Travel enjoined Is
necessary for the good of the public serv
ice , " has been added ns a probable excuse
for the trip :

The statement that the llttlo Insect to
which the term "kissing bug" is now being
applied was brought to this country on tlio
( baggage of returned noldlcra from the Phil
ippine Islands la denied by Prof. Bruner ,
the entomologist of the State university ,
who hati carefully studied the subject and
who has a number of Interesting spoclmtlis
of the bug at his olllco ,
"Thin llttlo insect is a native of this
country , " said Professor Uruncr , "and It
lias also been found in portions of South
America. The generic name of the Insect
Is mllonolretos , meaning black bug , and the
particular spectra more common than the
rest Is the "plclkes. " The bug la no more
common this year than it has been before
As near as I have been able to make ou
the history of this llttlo insert , quite a
number of persons were bitten by It In
Washington about tbreo years ago. An en
tomologist employed In the department o
Agriculture was working out ot doors one
day and noticed a number of small Insects
Ono of them dropped on his hand and go
caught under his coat sleeve , Its sting was
then discovered. This discovery wa recorded
corded In the newspapers and , as its sting
war serious , It naturally attracted atten
tion. After that people all over the coun
try complained of being bitten by some
mysterious Inoect and It was noticed tha
in nearly every Instance the wound was
initiated on the Up , That iswhy the bug
is called the kissing bug.
"During the eurnmer there is a great deal
ot decomposed animal and vegetable matter ]
lying about the country. As l well known ,
nice , gnntH and Insects have a habit ot light *
ling on this matter and then going to people
ple , being more apt to light on the face' '
because It Is not In motion. They Innocu- I
late with a substance that Is poisonous and {
the germs from the decomposed matter left
by the Insect when It stings or bites goes
on Increaalng and often produce blood poison
In the person so stung. In the same way
germs are often carried from a disease or
oorc , such ns anthrax or carbuncle to an
other person where they breed and produce
the same disease , The bug Iteelt Is not
poisonous ; it Is the matter upon which U
feed * The sting , whllo In some cases maybe
bo pcrlous , Is not fatal. Just because nn
Innocent little bug got under a man's coat
alcove and bit him to mnko him let go the
A'holo blame Is thrown upon It. "
The Insect described by Prof. Bruner
arles In length from a third to about five-
Ighths of an Inch , half an Inch being the
verage size of n full grown specimen. They
re coal 'black ' In color and are apparently
without wings. The proboscis the Imple
ment of torture Is not very long and when
not In use la celled up ttndor the head.
These bugs are attracted by electric light ,
ultc a number nt specimens having been
ound In this city , Columbus , South Bend
nd Nebraska City. Prof. Bruner said to-
ay that ho had been bitten by them a num-
jer of times , but the result was never ser
ous. Originally the Insect was known' a
ort of pirate bug , because It feeds on
mailer Insects.

WYMORE. Nob. , July 20. ( Special. )
Mrs. J. Klmberly , a married woman , 38 years
of age , attempted to end her life at her
homo in Blue Springs , a mile north ot here ,
ycsiterday afternoon , by shooting herself.
She was alone at the time nnd the weapon
used was a revolver of 32 caliber.
The shot entered between the eyes and
plowed Its way upward , coming out at the
top of the forehead. No vital spot was
struck and the doctors say the patient will
not die. Domestic trouble was the cause.
Yesterday her husband left her , sending her
word that ho would never be back.
The neighbors say she was a hard-working
woman , but that her husband , who Is a plas
terer , treated her brutally. She left a note
saying her Ilfo had been one of hell and that
she waa sending her soul to the same place.
Today she Is resting easy , 'but ' declares she
will finish the Job at the first opportunity.
SHALLOW Cyi.TIVATIO.V IS HEST.
Te tfl 111 Corn IlnlxliiK liy Stnte Uiil-
vemlty Experiment Ktiitlnn.
LINCOLN , July 20. ( Special. ) The Uni
versity News Letter , In Its Issue of July 15 ,
In an article on the cultivation of corn for
the conservation of moisture , says that a
test of the relative values of deep nnd shal
low cultivation of corn on the station farm
demonstrated beyond doubt the superiority
of the latter method. Four acres of land
wcro divided Into tracts of ono acre each ,
and each tract waa cultivated by a different
cultivator , the same one being used on each
throughout the summer. The same number
of cultivations wcro given In each case.
In the fall the corn was picket ! ) from each
acre and weighed. The yield was ns fol
lows : Deep cultivation yield , per acre , flfty-
nlne bushels ; shallow cultivation In one case
sixty-eight bushels per acre , and In two other
.coses . sixty-nine bushels per aero.
The land receiving shalfow cultivation was
stirred to a depth of three 'Inches ' , that re
ceiving deep cultivation to a depth of six
Inches. Shallow cultivation for corn pos
sesses two advantages over the other method.
In the llrst plnco by stirring tbo soil to a
depth ot only three Inches the air does not
penetrate so deeply , and It does not dry out
'to ' such a depth. Another Injury to the corn
crop from deep cultivation Is the tearing out
of the corn roots by the cultivator shovels.
Ily pruning these roots the ability of the
plant to secure nourishment la greatly hin
dered , and the crop Injured thereby.

NEW Y011K , July 20. The extension of
the street car men's strike from Brooklyn
to Manhattan Island was due entirely to
sympathy for the etrlklnc employes ot the
Urooklyti Ilapld Transit company. It was
opposed by General Master Workman John
M. Parsons , the bead of the Knights ot
Labor In the United States , who Is engaged
In organizing the men ami Is bending all
his energies toward redressing their griev
ances. Mr. Parsons declared a strike at this
time to be premature. It was literally
forced by the appeal made to the motormen
by Master Workman Pines and the com
mittee of the Brooklyn strikers.
At midnight last night , after the strike
had been'on twenty hours , It appeared to be
the maddest nnd most Ill-considered battle
with enormous capital that labor over en
tered on. Except on the Second avenue line
the cars were only Interfered with to a
alight degree and unless the strikers Induce
from 1,000 to 1,500 men to join them this
morning the strike will bo an absolute fail
ure. This Mr. Parsons declared he will do.
None of the men , ho said , were regularly
ordered out and lie promises to tie up the
Manhattan lines today.
There are about 3,200 men employed on
the platforms of the cars of the lines against
which the fight Is to be directed. These
constitute , barring Broadway , the most valu
able portion of the Metropolitan company's
franchise the roads In Second , Fourth ,
Sixth , Eighth , Amsterdam and Lenox avenues ,
running north nnd south , and the Twenty-
third , Fifty-ninth and Ono Hundred and
Sixteenth street 'cross-town lines.
Ceiitrreil oil Second Avenue.
Certainly not more than 400 of these men
left their places. The largest number had
been In the employ of the Second Avenue
Railway company. That line was almost
completely tied up several times during the
day and the vicinity of the company's barn
nt Ninety-sixth strot was a battlefield .from
early morning until midnight. Policemen
had been concentrated at all stations of the
company and men In uniform rode on the
cars to protect the motormen and conductors ,
Just as In Brooklyn.
Whenever a striker approached the prop
erty of the company In an effort to induce
men to quit work ho was cither clubbed or
arrested. Such measures ot extraordinary
severity were never before known during a
strike In Manhattan In which the strikers
had not previously used firearms or great
violence.
In Brooklyn the situation of the strike
on the Rapid Transit company's line was
not Improved by the premature strike of
the Now York men. The company ran more
cars and carried more passengers , but It
became moro than ever apparent that Presi
dent Rosslter had lest rather than gained
prestige.
Although General Master Workman Par
sons said yesterday that today was to bo the
big day for the strikers In Manhattan
borough , this morning opened In the quiet
est sort of way so far as the strikers were
concerned. Almost without exception the
cars on all lines started from their barns on
schedule time.
Second avenue , the scene of the great
gatherings and disturbances of last night ,
was deserted. A police''Inspector nnd 200
policemen slept in the'js&Mes 'of the Second
avenue line at Nlnety-nfnth street and Second
end avenue. When the first cars started this
morning two policemen wcro on each and
the early trips were without Incident of
serious nature. <
Notwithstanding the claims of the officials
of the vailous lines that their cars arc run
ning on schedule time. General Master
Workman Parsons Issued a statement today
In which he declared that the strike was
practically won. He said that 1,500 men
were out , and more were going out hourly.
He denounced as untrue the statement of
President Vreeland of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company that the .company
had no objection 'to ' Its employes belonging
to any organization , and declared that men
who had been for years In the company's
employ have been discharged on flimsy ex
cuses because they jolnod the Surface Rail
road Employes association.
In nn interview today President Rosslter
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company said
that of the full number of men employed on
the several roads , 3,194 , they lacked only
about 800. They had got 500 now men nnd
200 of these are waiting for their uniforms.
Out of 275 applications for positions on the
road from Philadelphia only thirty-two men
had been "accepted. The company had also
obtained men from St. Louis and Boston , but
oil of the men who came from out of town
places did not amount to over 100. The
company will not , President Roeslter Bald ,
reinstate any of the old men.

NEW YORK , July 20. What Is benevefl to

Charge Made by llodnltter.
XRW YORK , July 20. The strike situa
tion In Brooklyn Is practically unchanged.
Few coses of violence were reported and
the only excitement was caused by the ar
rest of Thomas J. pasey , a former division
superintendent of the Nassau line , on the
charge of attempting to Interfere- with
Homer Dean , nn Inspector of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company. Dean , who refused
to , ; lvo his age , address or any other partic
ulars , accused Casey of having Interfered
with him on July 16 In the performance of
'his ' duties at Thirty-ninth street "between "
Fifth and Sixth avenues while he was en
gaged In taking out ono of the company's
care and urged him to Join the strike , Casey
was arraigned in the Adams street police
court and admitted to ball pending his ex
amination tomorrow. „
Much speculation was indulged In regardIng -
Ing the outcome of the disagreement be
tween Albert Johnson , farmer president ot
the Nassau road company , and Mr. Roseltter ,
president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company. Mr , Johnson had heard that 'Mr. '
Rossltter had accused him on Wednesday of
Instigating the plot to wreck the elevated
structure of the Flffh avenue road and be
spent a largo part of the day in hunting
up evidence to substantiate what he bad
beard.
Ho was closeted with Magistrate Bren
ner at the Adama street police court dur
ing the afternoon , but neither Mr. John
son nor Magistrate Brenner would make a
statement.
Strike Are I'nlil Off ,
During the afternoon more than a hun
dred of the strikers put In an appearance
at the company' * ) ofllco at 'Montague and
Clinton streets , where they turned In their
badges and punches and other railroad property -
erty and after signing papers which sev
ered connection with the company were paid
off. At the strikers' headquarters , Granada
hall , on Myrtle avenue , ft largo number of
the strikers were paid etrlko wages nt the
same rate paid by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company for ten hours' work.
President RosMttcr said pralllvcly today
that none of the striking employes would be
taken back except the a who would report
for work tonight. The strikers say they
have no seceders from their ranks. While
they are keeping up a bold front ind claimIng -
Ing they will eventually win It looks as If
the strikers were beaten. Among the ranks
of the striking motormen and conductors It
Is alleged that there nro several spies who
keep the company and other authorities In
formed of the actions of the men. In order
to wake the strike successful It would be
necesf.uy to get the elevated locomotive
engineers out. There Is no likelihood of
this happening , as the engineers nro welt
satisfied with the promises nnd assurances
given them by Mr. Rossltter.

Some time this morning the feed wire on
Abbey street , near Jennings avenue , was cut.

They did not observe the wire. The horse
brushed against It nnd was severely shocked.
The animal became frightened and ran
away. Beth men were thrown from the
buggy. Patrolman Connors came In contact
with the wire nnd was severely shocked.
Ills condition Is not considered serious. The
lineman escaped with n few bruises.
Two small riots ocurrcd today. A crowd
of 300 attacked a car in South Cleveland ,
where the track had been obstructed. The
conductor with a revolver held the mob at
bay while the inotorman removed the ob-
structlcns and the car proceeded. Another
car was stoned at the same place later.
Another mob attacked a car near the Pcl-
eye street bridge. The windows were
smashed , but nobody was hurt.
The company Is getting new men dally.
Between fifty nnd seventy-five arrived from
Chicago and St. Louis. These uicn are
boarded at the barns and are put on cars
ns rapidly as their services are required.
Tii < ofll.Mals of the company have cease. 1
to make statements for publication and the
strikers refuse to disclose their plans. They
say , however , that the men cannot return to
work under present conditions and nobody
will go back to work unless all are taken
back.
The union men on the Cleveland , Paynes-
vlllo & Eastern road , who have been running
their cars Into the city , refused to do eo
longer and this morning they turned back
at Collamer. They were notified that they
would be discharged when they reached
Paynesvlllo and It Is probable that non
union men will be put on In their places.

a mctit excited nnil determined mood. Ho
enld tnat ho had called a council ot lilj
Leach Lake Indians to assemble at the old
agency on July 24 to protest against the re
vocation of the eviction order. Ho claimed
that the government would not respect the
right of the Indians ; that tlio reservation
was their territory and that It the settlers
wcro permitted to remain in one part of the
reservation there was no CXCUBO why they
would not be permitted to go other places.
The Indians In this neighborhood do
not take kindly to the action of the secre
tary of the Interior relative to the matter.
It will require careful diplomacy to convince
the Indians that the government Intends
keeping faith with them.
