I
, Niagara Falls , N. Y.--Capt. Klaus
4 : . Larsen , in his little motor boat , the
" k' Ferro late Sunday afternoon made
I , a
E .
1 J" successful trip from the foot of the
i - cataract through the whirlpool rapids
r . ' to within a mile of Lewiston , a dis
, ' r tance of four and one-half miles. He
" .
: \ . started from the Maid of the Mist dock :
; " V at 4:45 p. m. and ran on a rock on the
t . American sid e at 5:05. Despite the
\ : battering of the whirlpool . rapids , Lar-
; ; : x sen went through safely , but his boat
t : ' was leaking badly at the finish. He
( suffered an injury of the leg. The
. I Ferro swung under the Cantilever
, : I . 1 bridge , the engine running at top
f. : t speed and was caught in the swift
! drift , where the river begins its rush
: , " down to the whirldpool rapids. Lar-
'
ji sen held to the middle of the channel ,
: t and in less than three minutes he
- 1\ l \ ' made the great pool.
" . ' + In the trip through the rapids the lit-
; , tIe boat was lost to sight most of the
: , , time , but at Great Wave it was shot
twenty feet out of the water. The
boat landed right and continued to the
pool. Larsen kept to the outer edge
of the pool and passed out and down
without accident. Just as he left the
I pool the engine stopped working and
Larsen was at the mercy of the a at-
ters , hardly less violent than those
. above. The little boat swung around
stern first , and turned completely
over , Larsen coming out badly batter-
ed. It was here he injured his leg.
From here on Larsen was a mere
.
plaything of the rapids , unable to hold
the course.

COLONEL GEORGE HARV Y SAYS
COUNTRY ALL RIGHT.
THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD
Striking Article in North American
Review That Is Attracting Wide
Attention.
-
The attention of business and pro
fessional men in all portions of the
country has been attracted to a strik-
ingly strong article by Col. George
Harvey in the September issue of the
North American Review in which the
writer takes a view of the greatest
hopefulness for the future of America
and Americans. The article is en
titled "A Plea for the Conservation of
Common Sense , " and it is meeting
with the cordial approval of business
men of all shades of politics opinion .
throughout the entire country. In
part , Colonel Harvey says :
"Unquestionably a spirit of unrest
dominates the land. But , if Jt be
true that fundamentally the condition < <
of the country is sound , must we
necessarily succumb to despondency ,
abandon effort tooking to retrieval
and cringe like cravens before clouds
that only threaten ? Rather ought
we not to analyze conditions , search
for causes , find the root of the dis-
tress , which even now exists only in
men's minds , and then , after the
American fashion , apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results ?
Capital and Labor Not AntagonIstic
"The Link that connects labor with
capital is not broken but we may not
deny that it is less cohesive than it
should be or than conditions war-
rant. Financially , the country is
stronger than ever before in its his
tory. Recovery from a panic so
severe as that of three years ago was
never before so prompt and compara
tively complete. The masses are
practically free from debt. Money is
held by the banks in abundance and
rates are low.
"Why , then , does capital pause
upon the threshold of investment ?
The answer , we believe , to be plain.
It awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. * * * The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests , on the one hand , and the
whole people , on the other , protect-
ing the latter against dRtortion and
saving the fosmer from mad assaults.
"The solution is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the situ-
ation is without precedent. But is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines ? * * *
Conserve Common Sense.
" ! : s not the present , as we have
seen , exceptionally secure ? What ,
then , of prep rations for the future ?
Patriotism is the basis of our insti
tutions. And patriotism in the minds
of our youth is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds of daring. It
is taught in our schools. A new
course has been added-a course in
loyalty. Methodically , our children
learn how to vote , how to conduct
primaries , conventions and elections ,
how to discriminate between qualifica-
tions of candidates and , finally , how
to govern as well as serve. They are
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed , which they are
made to know by heart , is not com-
plex. It is simple , but comprehen
sive , no less beautiful in diction than
lofty In aspiration. These are the
pledges which are graven upon their
memories :
"As It Is cowardly for a soldier to
run away from battle , so it is coward-
ly for any citizen not to contribute
his share to the well-being of his
country. America Is my own dear
land ; she nourishes me , and I will
love her and do my duty to her ,
whose child , servant and civil soldier
I [ am.
"As the health and happiness of
my body depend upon each muscle
ind nerve and drop of blood doing
Its work in its place , so the health
and : happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work in
lis place. (
"These young citizens are our
lostages to fortune. Can we not
safely ; assume that the principles ani-
natlng their lives augur well for the
jermanency of the Republic ? When
efore have the foundation stones '
of continuance beeti laid with such r- ; ;
are : and promise of durability ? P
"The future , then , is bright. And
he present ? But one thing is needB
ul. No present movement is. = more N
audable than that which , looks to D
ionservation : of natural resources.

HElU IN BIG THEfT
EX-TELLER OF U. S. SUB-TREAS-
URY ARRESTED ON EMBEZ-
ZLEMENT CHARGE.
- ,
; RAPPED BY IMMUNITY STORY
George W. Fitzgerald Is Taken Into
Custody After Federal Jury Re-
turns Indictment in $173,000 Rob-
bery Committed Threo Years Ago.
Chicago. - The federal grand jury
has again indicted Geofge W. Fitzger-
ald , who was formerly assorting teller
at the United States sub-treasury in
this city , on the charge of embezzling
$173.000 from the government.
Fitzgerald was arrested in his office
Wednesday by the federal authori
ties.
Fitzgerald Is said to have been
trapped by a story given out some
time ago that the statute of limitations
intervened and that whoever commit
ted the theft was immune from prose-
cution. This story Is declared to have
been circulated for the express pur-
pose of misleading Fitzgerald.
William Boldenweck , under whom
Fitzgerald served , sent his resigna-
tion as subtreasurer to President Taft
September 8. He is to leave office
September 17 and to be succeeded by
Len Small of Kankakee. He denied
that his resignation had anything to
do with the disappearance of the
$173,000.
George W. Fitzgerald , who was as-
sorting teller In the subtreasury , "was
arrested first on August ; 22 , 1908 , on a
bench warrant issued by Judge Chet-
lain at the request of Assistant State's
Attorney James J. Barbour. He was
held ! in $50.000 ball. When the case
ame : up for hearing United States
District Attorney Sims obtained tele-
jraphlc orders from the attorney gen-
3ral : of the United States prohibiting
'ederal : emplo } .es from testifying.
The government representatives at
hat : time stated that they opposed the
rial : of the case In the state court un-
ler the advice and direction of Dls-
xlct Attorney Sims because testimony
idduced at the trial might prevent
he government bringing its case
igainst a suspect to trial.

State's Monthly Expense.
At the last meeting of the board ol ,
public lands and buildings , as shown t
by the records of Land Commissioned ; I
Cowles , vouchers to the amount of
45966.22 were allowed by the . board : ,
to cover expenses of . state institu *
tions for the month of August
The total amount allowed on mainr
tenance funds for the eleven state in
stitutions was $24,415.90 ; $7,702,65 ;
from cash funds of institutions ; $12-
061.23 for salaries and wages ; $564.14
for repairs and $1,322.30 : for other
purposes , a total of $45,966.22. The ,
penitentiary and the asylums ( at Lin ;
coln and Burkett sell a good deal of
live stock and produce that brings in
a good cash fund. This fund is e'f
.
'f\
posited , with the state treasurer and , z r. .
is drawn out upon orders of the board ,
of public lands and buildings. The
cash funds of the institutions are used
for the maintenance of the institu-
tions to which the funds belong , , but
by this method of handling the money
a check is kept upon the cash re-
ceived and the cash expended and for
what purpose expended.
The cash fund expenditures last
month were as follows : Lincoln asy-
lum , $1,571.5 ; Norfolk asylum ,
$350.62 ; Hastings asylum , $500 ; peni-
tentiary , $1,622.50 ; asylum at Bur-
I kett , $1,930.77 ; Industrial school at
Kearney , $1,352.22 ; industrial home
for women -MUford , $755.52.
State Fair Receipts.
The net receipts from this year's
exposition are not exactly figured out
as yet , but it is estimated that after
all expenses are met the state board
of agriculture will have left in the
neighborhood of $35,000. It started
the present year with a balance of
$19,000. The cost of preparing for the
fair and expenses while it was in pro- , .
gress aggregated from $60,000 to $65- I
000. The total amount taken in was . ,
i'
about $80,000 , which added to the /
previous baffcnce , made $99,000 for the ! J
board to go on. Deducting from this I
sum the estimated ; expenses , there \ I
remains on han't ! something like $35-
, '
000. This is just about the same
amount as was realized from the fair , ' '
t
in 1908.
Has Appointed Delegates.
Six hundred Nebraskans have been-
appointed as delegates to the. thirtieth ,
annual session of the farmers' na
tional congress , by Governor Shallen-
berger. It is expected that 1,800 or
2,000 delegates from over the entire :
country will attend the session , which
begins October 6 and lasts until Octo-
ber 11. Because of the great size and
importance of the congress it was.
thought especially needful that Ne
braska be strongly represented. From
the 600 delegates appointed it is ex- , -
-
pected that a crowd of several hundred /J--
Nebraskans will appear on the floor / '
of the congressional sessions. / I 1
