MR SHIPWRECKED ! TWENTY-EIGHT KILLED IN FALL OF NAVY BALLOON. DESCENT NINE HUNRED FEET Everything Apparently in Good Order When Accident* Happen*.— Three Officer* Lo*e Live*. Berlin.—Twenty-eight persons were killed near Johannisthal in the explo sion and fall of Count Zeppelin’s lat est dirigible balloon, the ’’L II.” The twenty-eight men represented the entire personnel of the admiralty board, which was to conduct the Anal trial of the dirigible, looking to it* acceptance by the government as a new unit of the German aerial navy, the pilot and crew and invited guests. Every person that went aloft in the big airship is dead. Twenty-seven of them were killed almost instantly by the explosion of the gas in the balloonettes or burned to death as the flaming wreck fell to the ground from a height of 900 feet and enveloped them. One man, Lieu tenant Baron Von Bleul of the Queen Augusta Grenadier guards, a guest of the admiralty board, w^us extricat ed alive from the mass of twisted wreckage. , Beg* to Be Killed. His eyes were burned out and he suffered other terrible hurts. Begging his rescuers to kill him and end his sufferings he was taken to a hos pital, where he died. The "L II,” had it proved success ful, would have been attached to the aerial corps of the navy, which after the fatalities now has only two men trained to command airships. The official report of the accident says the explosion was due to the ig nition of gas in or above the forward gondola, but not within the body of the airship. The navy w-as not the only sufferer through aviation accidents, for three army officers were killed in aeroplane flights—Captain Haeseler, Lieutenant Koch and Sergeant Mante. Bodies Horribly Burned. Many of the bodies were so burned and mangled as to be unrecognizable. The admiralty trial board consisted of seven officers, including Lieutenant Commander Behnisch and Senior Lieutenant Freiyer of the German naval flying corps. The airship’s pilot was Captain Gluth, a veteran steersman in the employ of Count Zeppelin. Naval Constructors Neumann and Pietzler and Naval Engineer Busch were among those on board the ship. Spectators who had been watching the impressive maneuvers of the “L II” from below suddenly saw the great gas-bag burst into flames and then fall. A second or two later the sound of the terrible explosion reached them. It was impossible for some time to approach the flaming dirigible, be neath which the members of the crew had been crushed and burned. To Be Given Another Ship. New York.—The unwritten, but al most inexorable law of the seas, which bars a captain who loses his ship from being given another com mand will not be applied to Captain Francis Inch of the Volturno. The officials of the Uranium line made it known that the heroism of the young skipper—his desperate, if losing fight to save his vessel, and the irave l>art he played in the battle Which result ed In the saving of such a large pro portion of the Voltumo’s passengers and crew—will preserve him from the fate of many a master whose ship the sea has claimed. “The line needs men like Inch," said Manager E. O. Thom as today. “He will be given another command.” Jeff Tetreau to Wed. New York—Charles Monroe “Big Jeff” Tesreau, the New' York pitcher, took out a marriage license to wed Eleanor Elizabeth Blake of Rochester, N. Y. President Grants Pardon.

SHIPPED MANY EGGS POULTRY INDUSTRY BIG ITEM ON MANY NEBRASKA FARMS. 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 the subject, Commissioner of Labor C. W. Pool says: “In 1912 there were shipped from points in Nebraska, 47,628,822 dozen eggs. Owing to the high price of meat the consumption of eggs on farms was undoubtedly much greater than in 1911, when 60,180,650 dozen eggs were shipped. The fancy price to be real ized from the sale of live and dressed poultry in 1912 no doubt had its effect upon the egg production, as in that year the shipment of this commodity reached the enormous total of 40,528, 280 pounds, as against a total ship ment in 1911 of 26,748,504 pounds. In 1911 there were shipped from Nebras ka stations a total of 60,180,650 dozen eggs. “It is perfectly safe to assume that the 127,723 families upon farms used 33,980 dozen eggx Figuring the price at 20 cents per dozen in 1912, it will be observed that the Nebraska hen is no slouch when it comes to getting the coin. "Without fear of being accused of undue friendship for the 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 the part she played in satis fying the 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 they now are. This reduction will be made 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 are possible. The commission told the last legislature, when on fire before that body, that if the Sanborn decision were overturned by the su preme court, releasing the commission from an embarrassing dilemma, some thing like schedule 19 would be put into effect and that it would lower class 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 the food, drug, dairy,, weights and measures and oil depart ments, the dairy work to be placed under the control of the board of re gents and made a part of state farm activities, and the others to remain at the state house, as at present, is a move which state dairymen and other agricultural interests plan on propos ing and backing the coming year. Those who are making first ground in the 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. The railway commission has granted permission to the 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 made for the benefit of cattle feed ers in Union Pacific territory adjacent to Burlington territory. Attorney General P. L. Hall of the Nebraska national guard has an nounced complete scores made at the national guard rifle camp at Platts mouth. Captain R. E. Olmsted of the Fourth infantry, of York, had the highest individual score and received a gold medal. Important Popcorn Center*. Two communities practically sup ply the popcorn for the civilized world and make possible the frequently heard cries of "Five a sack!” C. P. Hartley of the federal crop service has investigated the popcorn subject and has written a careful bulletin, copies of which have been received by the Nebraska state board of agri culture. Valley county, Nebraska, and Sac county, Iowa, are the two import ant popcorn growing centers. Valley county leads by a narrow margin. Will Make Personal Inspection. Adjutant General Hall will person ally inspect all of the companies of the 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 way of stores on hand, the condition of the armories and the general sfficiency of the companies in drill and other duty. He will start about No vember 1 and expects to finish Janu ary 20. The university of Minnesota and the University of Iowa will be the Uni versity of Nebraska’s opponents in intercollegiate debate next December in the annual five simultaneous con tests of the Central Debating league (Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin). v ■ At Lincoln, Nebraska’s representa tives will argue for, and at Iowa City they will argue against the following proposition: "Resolved, That Immigration with this country should be further re- ’ Stricted by means of a literary test.” NELL GWYNNE’S OLD HOUSE Famous Residence in Pall Mall, Lon don, Is Being Torn Down—Prince Regent Lived There. London.—House breakers are at work on the last remaina of a bouse in Pall Mall place t hlch once wa3 the residence of Nell Gwynne, and was the home of the Prince Regent just a century ago while his magnifi cent palace, Carlton house, was being built on the other side of the way. The original frontage in Pall Mall was rebuilt many years ago and is now again being pulled down, but the gallery, the entrance of which is a court, is one of the original reception rooms of the house. For many years past the building has been used for a picture gallery. Nell Gwynne’s House. The Nell Gwynne room, with its mag nificent ceiling, remained perfectly preserved until the house breakers took possession. The house in Pall Mall chiefly asso ciated with King Charles’ favorite is No. 79, since rebuilt and now occupied by an insurance company. It was here that the diarist Evelyn “saw and heard a very familiar discourse be tween the king and Mrs. Nellie,” .as they called an impudent comedian, she looking out of her garden on a terrace at the top of the wall and the king "standing on the green beneath [ it.” While he was waiting for the com pletion of Carlton house the Prince Regent lived in Nell Gwynne's old house in Pall Mall place and he used to watch the extravagant magnificence of his splendid place rising over the way. It was pulled down in 1827 and the eight Ionic columns facing Pall Mall were used in the facade of the present National gallery and are familiar objects of that frontage. IS RELIC OF THE “ICE AGE’' National Museum Curator Reports on Petrified Remains Found in West Virginia. Marlinton, W. Va.—A report has been made by J. W. Gidley, assistant curator of the National museum, Washington, on the petrified remains found in blasting the big limestone cliff at the boundary of the town of Renifk, this county, by the Renick Stone company. He says: "The speciments are remains of a pig-like animal known as phatygonus. This animal is related to the peccary now living in Central and South Africa, but was much larger than the present species. They were very abundant in the eastern and central'United States during the pleistocene or ‘ice age.’ ” A skull found among the fossils was in an especially fine state of preserva tion and looks not unlike the skull of a horse, though much smaller, with Immense tusks. Mr. Gidley says the skull Is of especial interest as it prob ably represents an undescribed species and because it supplements another recent discovery of somewhat similar character near Cumberland, Md. Arrangements were made with the stone company to protect the de posit until an experienced collector can be detailed to visit the place. Mr. Gidley ^xpects to visit Renick soon to make a thorough investiga tion. TO HELP GERMAN BARMAIDS “Dogs In Berlin Treated Better Than We Are," One Writes, Telling Her Experience. Berlin.—Appa!' ng conditions of abuse, want, misery and immorality have been uncovered among Berlin's “barmaids.” The editor of a local paper is conducting a crusade to help them. The lot of those in the cheap er beer saloons is the hardest. Wages are small, hours long, and the bar maid is largely dependent upon tips, which in turn depend upon her come liness and her lack of resentment at the coarse jokes and lndigfiities which she must suffer from customers. If the barmaid complains of treat ment of the guests, she is discharged on the ground that she drives away trade. It is but a step from the posi tion of barmaid to the "easiest way” and in many instances the proprie tors of the cheaper beer saloons are practically white slavers. One barmaid, writing of her ex perience, insisted that “dogs are bet ter treated in Berlin than we are.” Brothers Meet After 40 Years.
