(From a Staff Con espondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. K.-Sper.inl ) The
thriller at the Mate fair this morning was
the fall of the Wrlxht Brothers' aeroplane,
in which Archie Hoxsey was making a
beautiful flight, the ecoiid of the murntng.
Hoxsey turned hi machine north and In
the turn a gust of wind struck the machine
and caused It to overturn. Machine and
rider then struck the roof of a peed barn,
Hoxsey fell a distance of twenty-five feet
to the ground.
Hoxsey was not rendered unconscious, but
at once said be would be able to make
another flight this . afternoon, providing he
could fix hla machine. This Idea was given
up, however, and he was taken to the
LlndeU hotel, where he waa attended, and
an effort made to bring hlni relief from the
shock. "
Seereary Mellor, of the state fair board,
at once telegraphed for a new aeroplane
and the flights will be resumed ns soon
as that arrives. It Is probable that a Tight
will be made Wednesday afternoon, as Mr.
Hoxaey believes he can repair the machine.
John Lyon, who was stricken with apo
plexy yesterday. Is reported much better
today and will aoon be out at his post at
the fair.
The weather man gave the fair another
Ideal day and It was taken rdvantago of
by an Immense crowd, which thronged the
grounds from early In the morning until
late at night.
Dsud Concerts Interrupted.
The band concerts have been Interrupted
considerably by reaiton of the competition
of the race track and the aeroplane. The
auditorium. In which the concerts are given
la clof-e to the lace track. When any excite
ment occura on the track, it Is the signal
for those orated In the auditorium on the
side near the track to get up- and make a
hustle for the exit, for fear they will lose
a sight of the flying machine. These Inter
ruptions, together with the blowing of
whlrtles and balloons by the children, has
serloutily Interfered with the band concerts.
Regardless of the numerous times the
fruit crop has been killed the exhibit In
horticultural hall this year apparently
excels that of previous years and the fruit
lppeara to be of first class rjun!lty.
Some of the Exhibits.
One of the new exhibits which 18 attract
ing much lnteist Is that of Texan fruit
and fruit trees which W. K. Schwind and
Coloqel John O. Maher are showing to
their numerous contract holders. These men
have sold out a tract of Texas land under
a drawing system and to ahow their con
tract holders what thuy have bought they
have put in the exhibit. As all the con
tracts are sold the company put on the
show purely for the benefit of those who
aro Interested In tlielr .Nebraska colony. In
the exhibit is an orange tree on which
there are 60U oranges, a fig tree bearing
and other varieties of fruit.
As usual the fish exhibit la attracting a
lot of attention, as Commissioner O'Brien
has some of tUe.larget and smallest flalv
1 in the World on parade, to say, nothing of
frogs and turtles uid other things that
live In water.
The moving pictures of scenes at the
South Omaha stock yards constitutes by
far the greatest free attraction on the
grounds a:id thousands of people have
viewed th3 plctuics each day.

Requested to Pay
Republican Executive Committee De

for Campaign Funds.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
MNCOI..N. Sept 6. (Special Telegram.)
The executive committee of the republican
state committee met tonight and discussed
ways and mean to carry on the present
campaign. It was decided that Chairman
Ilusenetter should take authority for mak
ing assessments on state candidates as well
as state employes who ate now holding
their places by virtue of republican success
In Nebraska.
Employes will be asked to give 2 per cent
of their salaries, while the offices which
pay $2,500 will be assessed 1300, and those
which pay 12,000 will be asked for $240.
Chairman Ilusenetter came to Lincoln
armed with a check for S500 aa Senator
Aldrlch's ..contribution to the campaign.
Senator Burkett is expected, so it was an
nounced, to" pay a like amount.
Clyde Barnard declined to take the place
of secretary, and Chairman HuFenetter will
appoint his successor later. Mr. Barnard
said it would be Impossible for him to give
all of his time to the campaign and Mr.
Husenetter wants a man whose services
could be secured continuously from now
until election. With the exception of Bert
Mapes of Norfolk, all members of the com
mittee were present.

from the west. Each tried to put forth a
cheerful front, but It was an efort almost
close to failure. oGvernor Norrls In par
ticular waa bitter in his denunciation.
"Why," he aald, "we could not break Into
that meeting now with a burglar's Jimmy."
Governor Norrls Is a democrat. It was he
who made the "fighting speech" before the
congress yesterday which really brought on
the clash with Governor Stubbs of Kan
sas, the presiding officer.
liny Still Cheerful.
Governor Hay of Washington was in a
cheerful mood this morning yet, the rusult
of yesterday's session waa still before him
"If the congress really wished to arrange
a conference between the awo Kovtruoi . '
he added, "wdld they not let the soveinora
run It instead of laying everything out,
out and dried before we started?"
He smiled cheerfully when mention of his
wnrilv var with Stubbs was madrt. "I'll
leave tonight or tomorrow, he said, but
I'll leave a representative here. There is
nothing more I can do."
Governor Brooks hud little to (ay.
"There Is nothing I can add to what 1
have already said," Governor Brooks de
clared. "I am for state's rights -infl con

Governor W. R. Stubbs of Kansas, who
so successfully handled the "conference"
yesterday afternoon, preventing any dis
cussion on the floor, will also leave tonight,
he said, if he can get away. It was com
monly said, however, that the executive of
Kansas would stay a day or so longer in
order to be on the ground should any of
the westerners stay and attempt to "start
something." Mr. Stubbs was smilLng to
day and happy. "Everybody's happy," he
said.
Governor Vessey of South Dakota will go

Constitution la Adopted.
A constitution to govern the national
conservation congress waa adopted today.
On the important point of resolution the
constitution reads:
"A committee on resolutions shall be
created for each annual meeting of the
congress. A chairman shall be appointed
by the president. One member of the com
mlttee shall be selected by each state rep
resented by the congress. The committee
shall report to the congress not later than
the morning of the last day of each annual
meeting."
On permanent committees the constitu
tion provides:
"Permanent committees on each of the

fully ascertained nd carefully considered,
In order to dettrmlne whether public In- I
teret Justifies beyond a reasonable doubt i
the surrender by the public of even a part
of Its power over this great public resource.
Where reasonable douht exist the status
quo should be maintained."
Let there be no unnecessary hampering
of hydro-electrlc development, but let the
public In on the ground floor at the start, j
tor at the start the public must grant the
power and for all time the public will be
the party chiefly Interested In its use.
"Specifically:
"(1.) The status nuo of powers still con
trolled by the nation or state should be
maintained until we know what we have
and can act Intelligently thereon.
"12.) No grant should be made except for
a fixed period, with at least the reserved
right to readjust terms at the end thereof.
That period, however, should be long
enough to permit adequate financing and
complete development.
"(3.) Complete publicity of accounts and
transactions should be required as well as
a record of cost and the real relation of
investment to stock and bond Issues.
"(4.) Power to revoke tbe grant for breach
of conditions should be lodged In a specified
public authority. Otherwise, there will
always be the possibility of protracted liti
gation to determine the status.
"(5.) So far as is possible, direct provi
sion should be made against excessive
charges and monopolistic abuse;
to. ) t'ublio authorities should reserve
such constitutional compensation or rental
as will establish the principle of underlying
pumic interest.
"i7. All public easements of navigation,

Last evening a negro armed with a revol

Japanese laborer whom, he asserted, mur
dered a woman In Denver, and waa offer

No attetion was paid to him at the time,
Sut aoon cries for help were heard from
under the wheela of a freight train stand

to move, but the brakeman, hearing the
cries, signaled" the train to stop, and dis

an Italian laborer on the track.
The brakemaii and a number of laborers
rushed to the place, when the would-be
murderer released the man and ma.te for
a neighboring cornfield, firing several in
effective shots at his pursuers, afterward
throwing away his gun and coal as he
ran.

CONSERVATION OF WATER POWER
Herbert Knox Smith Discusses Rise of
New Industry.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. . In addressing
the convention on the subject of water
power. Herbert Knox Smith, United States
commissioner of corporations, declared that
the close relations of water power companies
throughout the country, and the fact that
the power, by means of electric transmis
sion, can be distributed over a wide area
from one state to another makes conserva
tion of this great force a proper duty of
the federal government. He stated it aa
his personal belief that the national gov
ernment has full constitutional and statu
tory, authority to assume the task.
"The investigation of developed water
powers now being made by the bureau of
corporations." he declared, "shows that
up-to-date eighteen concerns or closely
allied Interests control over 1. 800,000 horse
power of the water power. As to unde
veloped powers, tnis information was
secured merely as an Incident to our main
work, and certainly much understates the
case. As it stands, however. It makes a
total water power controlled by these
eighteen groups of over Z.'M.di.O horse
power. The total water power in United
States in 1908, aa estimated by the census
and geological survey, was only 5.3M.000.
As (his total includes a very large num
ber of small powers which the bureau did
not include, as it dealt almost wholly wtth
powers of over 1.000 horse power, the
total now commercially capable of de
velopment Is variously estimated at from
Jtt.OuO.OuO to (iO.OuO.OOO horse power, the
smaller figure being the preferable one.
The great bulk of both developed and un
developed water power lies on the Pacific
coast, the northwest, northeast, and the
south Atlantic states. Our power demand
as measured by the total undupllcited j
capacity of all prime movers steam, water
and gas is now at least 3Q,0o0,000 horse i
power.
"There Is going on a concentration of a I
wide sort a process of deep slgnlf ,cance, 1
but as yet little recognized. There Is a '
marked progress toward a mutuality of
Interests among public service companies '
generally, electric light, power, gas and 1
street railway concerns. The significant
Identity of officers and directors in a large
number of such companies throughout the
United States ts very remarkable. '
"In part, this Is due to specialisation by ,
financial houses in given Unes of invest- ,
ment. In part to the common employment,
of certain eminent engineering firms; and
j In part to relations with certain leading j
equipment companies. Electric equipment i

enabled thousands of girls to hold their positions.
Read what these girls say:
Phila., Pa. I can truly say that Lydla E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood .
Purifier saved my life. When I was 14 years '
old I vr&a regular and then it went away for a
long time. I went to many doctors but none
helped me, so I wrote to you for advice and fol
lowed your directions. I took the Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier and now I am
strong and healthy again. I cannot express my
gratitude to you. Lizzie Weber, 4152 N.
Fairhill St., Phila., Pa.
Cleveland, Ohio. "Having suffered for five
long years with suppression and great pain every month, spend
ing big money for doctors and getting no cure, I at last went to
Mrs. Pinkham's medicine with little hopes, but found just what
I needed. To-day I am regular and have no pain, thanks to
your advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."
Lizzie Steiger, 5510 Fleet Ave., S. JL, Cleveland, Ohio.
Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will do the same for any other girl
who is suffering with the same troubles?
These testimonial letters are the genuine and truthful
statements from honest people.
Does it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
medicine at least a trial ? Vou may be sure that it can
do you no harm, and there is lots of proof that it will do
you much good.
For 30 years Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable
