different political faith that they could
novor unite on any ono man to suc
ceed him. Then ho presented his res
ignation. As ho expected, thoy refused
to nccopt it.
"Tho resignation was presented on
Thursday and late that night thoro
woro Indications that Hucrta's coup
might fall and that his successor
would bo selected. Goneral Blanquot
heard that Lascurian might becomo
president nnd ho therefore ordored
tho national palaco surrounded by
troops, intending to Bolze tho reins If
Huorta fell.
Huerta Held a Prisoner."
"Huorta and his cabinet wero held
prisoners in tho pnlaco untjl late Fri

BRIEF
U
POULTRY INDUSTRY BIG ITEM ON
MANY NEBRASKA FARM8.
GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL
Items of Interest Gathered from Re
liable Sources and Presented In
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.
In a statement covering his investi
gations and collection of figures on tho
subject, Commissioner of Labor C. W.
Pool Bays:
"In 1912 there were shipped from
points in Nebraska, 47,628,822 dozen
oggs. Owing to tho high price of meat
tho consumption of eggs on farms was
undoubtedly much greater than in
1911, when 60,180,650 dozen eggB wero
shipped. Tho fancy price to be real
ized from the salo of livo and dressed
poultry In 1912 no doubt had its effect
upon tho egg production, as in that
year the shipment of this commodity
reached the enormous total of 40,628,
280 pounds, as against a total ship
ment in 1911 of 26,748,604 pounds. In
1911 there wero Bhipped from Nebras
ka Btatlons a total of 60,180,660 dozen
eggs.
"It is perfectly safe to assume that
tho 127,723 families upon farms used
33,980 dozen eggs. Figuring tho price
at 20 cents per dozen In 1912, it will
bo observed that tho Nebraska hen is
no slouch when it comes to getting tho
coin.
"Without fear of being nccuscd of
unduo friendship for tho hen, it Is safe
to state that she brought to the
pockets of Nebraska farmers during
1912 not less than $10,000,000, to say
nothing of tho part she played In satis
fying tho craving of the inner man."
Committed to Reduced Freight Rates.
The state railway commission Is
practically committed to a reduction
of .class freight rates an average of 20
per cent or more from what thoy now
are. This reduction will be mado un
less the railroads, in their hearings of
protest which begin about October 20,
can make a better showing than the
figures of the commission's experts in
dicate aro possible. The commission
told the last legislature, when on firo
before that body, that if the Sanborn
decision were overturned by the su
preme court, releasing tho commission
from an embarrassing dilemma, some
thing like schedule 19 would bo put
Into effect and that It would lower
clasB rates more than was contem
plated In a pending bill, 10 per cent
reduction on commodity rates and 20
per cent on class rates.
Want Departments Separated.
Separation of tho food, drug, dairy,,
weights and measures and oil depart
ments, the dairy work to bo placed
under tho control of the board of re
gents and made a part of state farm
activities, and tho others to remain at
tho state house, as at present, is a
move which state dairymen and other
agricultural interests plan on propos
ing and backing the coming year.
Thoso who are making first ground In
tho attempt say that interests of dairy
ing can be better subserved by con
necting the interests that are working
for improved dairy conditions. The
scheme has been tried successfully in
other dairy states, according to report,
and Is believed to have tested out bet
ter than affiliation of this department
with others which burden officials
down with work.
Tho railway commission has granted
permission to tho Union Pacific Rail
road company, to reduce its rates on
corn to the extreme western part of
the state to a parity with the rates of
the Burlington road. The reduction
was mado for the benefit of cattle feed
ers in Union Pacific territory adjacent
to Burlington territory.
Attorney General P. L. Hall of tho
Nebraska national guard has an
nounced complete scores made at the
national guard rifle camp at Platts

Important Popcorn Centers.

by tho Nebraska state board of agri
culture. Valley county, Nebraska, and

ant popcorn growing, centers. Valley
county leads by a narrow margin.

ally Inspect all of tho companies of
tho Nebraska national guard this year,
Instead of delegating that duty to a
subordinate officer on his staff. Gen
eral Hall desires to see for himself
Just what each company has In the
