IN HALL OF FAME
NAME OF EDGAR ALLAN
FINDS PLACE THERE.
POE
YEARS OF FRUITLESS EFFORT
Author of "The Raven" Gets an Equal
Number of Votes with Wendell
Holmes.
New York. Edgar Allan Poe is
last in the Hall of Fame. Years
at
of
effort on the part of staunch support
ers to get his name added to the list
were rewarded Friday by the an
nouncement of Dr. John H. Mac
Cracken, chairman of the senate of
New York university, that the author
of "The Raven." with ten others, had
been accorded this honor. The eleven
names added are as follows: Harriet
Beecher Stowe, 74 votes; Oliver
Wendell Holmes and Edgar Allan
Poe, 9 votes each; Roger Williams,
G4; James Fenimore Cooper. G3; Phil
lip Brooks. CO; William Cullen Bry
ant, 59; Frances E. Wiliard, 5C; An
drew Jackson, George Bancroft, 53
each, and John Lathrop Motley. 51.
The total number of ballots cast
was 97 and the number required for
choice was 51. Poe's vote jumped
from 42 in 190G to !9. an increase of
27 votes. An analysis of the vote
shows that of this G9 votes 21 were
cast by college presidents, 17 by pro
fessors of history and scientists, 18
by publicists, editors and authors,
and 13 by jurists.
Contrary to the general impression
the memory of the poet Is as famous
in the west as in the south, accord
ing to the vote. Since the last elec
tion his fame increased more among
collese presidents than among any of
the other groups. As a result of Fri
days' election the authors corner
doubles its population and goes far
ahead of the statesmen in number.
Eleven bronze tablets for the names
chosen will be designated with an
appropriate quotation from the words
of each and the formal unveiling will
take place in October. 1911, in the4
Hall of Fame at New York university.
The vote of seventy-four for Har
riet Beecher Stowe is noteworthy, as
the only one who received such a
majority in the election in 1505 was
Louis Agassiz, and in the first elec
tion the number was surpassed by
only- fourteen names, including Wash
ington, Lincoln, Grant and Emerson.
One of the most interesting results is
that whereas the historian. Motley,
gained four votes over the election of
five years ago, the historian Park
man lost two votes. Phillips Brooks
gained eleven votes. Oliver Wendell
Holmes increased twenty votes, his
competitors, Lowell and Wbittier,
having been removed by election.
In the vote for women the names
chosen are those of women who were
not eligible at the last election, not
having been dead ten years at that
time. Of those who were voted for
in the last last election, but still lack
the necessary votes, Charlotte Saun
ders Cushman shows a gain from thirty-nine
to forty-five votes, Martha
Washington from thirty-two to forty
three and Lucretia Mott from thirty
three to forty-one.
Mr. Bryan in Illinois.
Watseka. HI. William J. Bryan
came into the Eighteenth congression
al district Friday to assist W. I Cun

Phoenix, Ariz. The right of the
people to organize, strike, picket and
boycott was proposed as a part of the
constitutional bill of rights by Dele
gate Feeney, a machinist at Friday's
sessiou of the constitutional conven
tion. Morgan Aids Church Unity.
Cincinnati. A gift of $100,000 to
the campaign fund for the world's
conference on church unity by J. P.
Morgan served as a fitting climax to
the greatest convention in the history
of the Protestant Episcopal church.
Rich Coal Beds Discovered.
Valparaiso. Chile. As the result of
borings in the district of Talcahuano
large coal beds have been discovered.
It is estimated that the beds will
yield 150.000,000 tons.
Battleship Swamped.
Washington. A remarkable com
bination of circumstances, no one of
which taken singly, was responsible,
caused the swamping of the launch of
the battleship New Hampshire in
New York harbor on September 20
and loss of more than thirty lives.
Thus the naval board of inquiry
which investigated the disaster and
its causes, sums up its conclusions in
its report Friday. Had the men
obeyed an order to "sit down in the
boat", the board believes they would
not have been lost
The Panama Case.
Washington. The government's
brief in the so-called Panama libel
suit of the United States against the
Press Publishing company of New
York was filed Friday in the supreme
court of the United States. It was
argued by Attorney General Wickers
ham, James C. M. Reynolds and
Stuart McNamara. It not only con
tained a statement of facts, but argu
ment in support of its position, that
the indictment against the Press Pub
lishing company should not have
been quashed.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Jubilee.
This year marks the fiftieth anni
versary of woman's organized work in
America, for foreign missions.
The Central Committee on .the Unit
ed Study of Missions, together with
the boards of Woman's Foreign Mis
sions, decided to hold a series of
meetings in thirty of the large cities
of the country, beginning in October
and culminating in a great gathering
!a New York City in the spring of
1911. The meeting at Omaha will be
on the 27th and 28th of October.
The mission boards of the various
churches will send able missionary
speakers and workers. Mrs. Edmund
A. Osbornson. the chairman of the
Extension committee, has been in
Omaha perfecting plans with the local
committee, which has its headquar
ters in the Y. W. C. A. building.
Mrs. Helen Barret Montgomery, of
more than national reputation as an
authority on missions, will be in
charge of the jubilee meetings, and
will give several addresses.
The Midwest Life.
In the death of Mr. A. A. Scott, the
chief paying teller of the First Na
tional bank of Lincoln, Nebraska, The
Midwest Life had its first loss among
its Lincoln policyholders. Mr. Scott
hold policy No. 797 for $1,000. dated
lune 8. 1907. issued on the fifteen pay
ment life plan, and he had therefore
paid four premiums. None would
have selected Mr. Scott as the first to
go out of over three hundred Lincoln
jwlicyholders in this' company. The
total premiums which he had paid the
company amounted to $19S.24. This
is another practical illustration that in
no other way can one create as valu
able an estate by the payment of a
small sum of money as through life
insurance if death should occur with
in a few years after the policy is tak
en. The Midwest Life issues all the
standard forms of policies. Home of

Jefferson County The home of Mr.
and Mrs. John Bell was entered at
Fairbury by a burglar, who was cap
tured by Frank Nauth. a roomer at
the Bell residence. Mr. Nauth was
returning about midnight and he was
unable to get in the front way, so he
went around to the rear. In doing so
he encountered the burglar coming
out of a window, and at the sight of
Mr. Nauth the burglar dropped to the
ground and started to run down the
street. Mr. Nauth overtook him and
captured him. He took him down

satchel containing some bread and
bacon.

Dawson County The new Second
regiment band of Kearney, which was
mustered into the state just prior to
the maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kas., in
Agust, is practically disbanded. Di
dector Mooney has resigned and is
preparing to leave tho city and quite
a number of the members have stat

hold the organization together.
llJNCOLNqT'
Guardsmen to Stand Trial.
Adjutant General John C. Hartigaa

against members of the Nebraska na
tional guard at a. general court mar
tial to be held In Lincoln. November
15. This will be the first general
court martial ever held in this state
for the trial of Nebraska national
guardsmen and the event is looked
forward to with great interest by

the unlawful taking of government
property.
The court will comprise the follow
ing officers:
v Brigadier General Joseph A. Storch.
Colonel F. J. Mack. Second regi
ment. Colonel G. A. Eberly, First regi
ment Lieutenant Colonel J. M. Birkner,
medical department.
Major H. J. Paul. Second regiment
Major G. H. Holdeman, First regi
ment Captain L. H. Gage, signal corps.
Captain C. L. Brewster, First regi
ment, judge advocate.
Most of the offenses alleged to have
been committed against the military
code of the state are said to have
been committed at Fort Riley. Kas.,
or just prior to the departure of the
guard to Fort Riley. The guard went
to Fort Riley to participate in mili
tary maneuvers In which both regu
lar soldiers and guardsmen from
western states took part.
Railroads Get Hearing.
The state railway commission has
extended the date of its entire order
relating to the increase of switching
rates to be charged by the Union
stock yards of South Omaha, includ
ing that portion of the order requiring
railraos to pay or absorb the in
creased charges. The order was to
have gone into effect October 24. but
the commission extended the time till
November 1 and will hold a hearing
October 27 on the question of whether
or not the railroads shall be required
to pay the additional switching rates
proposed by the commission and asked
for by the stock yards company.
Cholera Scrum Experiments.
State Veterinarian Juckincss has
experimented with great success with
the serum for the cure and prevention
of hog cholera under the formulae
prepared by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. An appropriation
of $5,000 was made by the last legis
lature in Nebraska to aid the state
farm in the preparation of the serum
and in experiments, but this appro
priation has not been sufficient to sup
ply demands for the serum. As a re
sult many stock raisers have bought
their own serum and have had it ap
plied to hogs under the supervision of
State Veterinarian Juckincss.
Colonel McDonnell Retired.
At his own request. Colonel John
W. McDonnell of Fairbury has been
placed on the retired list of the Ne
braska national guard with the rank
of colonel. The order of retirement,
issued under the laws of the state,
is by order of Governor Shallenber
gcr. commander-in-chief, signed by
Adjutant General John C. Hartigan.
and attested by Captain L. C. Kester
smi. acting assistant adjutant gen
eral. Charged With Desertion.

added two names to the list of Ne
braska national guardsmen who will
be cited before a general court mar
tial on the charge of desertion. Earl
Minister and Albert Horton. members
of the Lincoln hospital corps, are now
charged with desertion. This makes
a total of four charged with desertion.
Many are charged with absenting
themselves without leave. The court
martial will convene November 15.
"Fire Day" November Fourth.
State Supcritendent Blsnop has just
announced that the first Friday in No
vember will be known as "Fire Day."
On that day every teacher in the pub
lic schools in Nebraska is requested
to give pupils information in regard to
fire risks and w;hat to do in case' of
fire. A fire prevention text book has
been prepared and distributed among
tcaeliers.
Governor Shallenherger has issued
a requisition for the return of Joseph
French from Tacoma. Wash., on a
charge of deserting his seven-year-old
child. Merl French. The complaint is
signed by Mrs. Mary E. French, the
wife of the accused.
Glanders in Horses.
State Veterinarian Juckincss has
been busy lately examining horses
supposed to be afflicted with glanders.
He killed three horses near Winne
bago, In Thurston county, during the
past week. In all twelve horses near
that town have been killed on account
of glanders. .Mr. Juckincss says he
believes at least twenty-live more
cases exist in that community. As
the disease is incurable, it is consid
ered extremely dangerous. The state
does not pay for the animals killed.
The apportionment of 5 per cent ol
the state contributions from the Pres
byterian churches of the state for
work among the students of the stale
university is the one action of the
Presbyterian synod at Beatrice that
probably is of more interest to resi
dents of Lincoln than any other.
The forty-fifth annual session ot
the state teachers' association con
venes in Lincoln this year. November
23, 24 and 25. This is during Thanks
giving time and is an innovation In
respect to the date.
V WILBUR DMEmT,
Scatvfel
Whqt was the deed
Of which they chatt r
As gossips feed
On some small matte ?
Each August they
Seem to remember
And fuss away
All through September.
"She did!" says one:
"Did not!" another.
And thus begun
They try to smother
Each other's cries
By louder calling
Until the skies
Repeat their bawling.
Was It a sin.
Or error weighty.
That came within
The life of Katy?
One lifts his voice
Just to attack her
And ten rejoice
Ilight then to back her.
And all thler tones
Get in a tangle:
One side condones.
The others wrangle.
We know her name.
And tints her gender
But what's the claim
Of her defender?
Know what she was?
Know what she wasn't?
One shrlekcr does.
The other doesn't.
Poor Katy! It
Still seems a toss-up.
But you're a bit
Of yearly gossip.
Undismayed.
Tried to the breaking point of hit
endurance, the man arises from his
desk, grasps the uook agent by thr
collar, rushes him to the door and
heads him for the street, planting s
well directed kick upon the place de
signed and provided by nature to re
ceive kicks. With a howl of pait
he seizes his foot in both hands.
"My toe! My toe!" he cries. "It U
broken!"
Suavely the book agent turns, deft
ly removes the offending volume from
a capacious pocket in the rear of his
trousers and says:
"Permit me to call your attrntiot
to Doctor Healem's Family Compendi
um of Cures for Everything. I am now
selling the few remaining sample cop
ies at half price. On page 3S you
will find in simple terms full direc
tions for first aid to broken bones of
all sorts."
A Saving of Speech.
TVV hear the story of the climb
Of him who has been self-made.
But money talks most all the time
For him wlm has been pelf-made.
A Woman of Foresight.
The two men are discussing the va
rious accomplishments of their re
spective wives.
"My wife." says the first man, "is as
happy as a lark these days. She Is
rushing to and fro, buying all manner
of Christmas remembrances."
"My wife did her Christmas shop
ping a month ago," observes the sec
ond man.
"But my wife told me your wife
was going with her today to buj
presents for a lot of people."
"I know. She did all her Christ
mas shopping a month ago. as I say,'
and that enables her to buy gifts now
for those she forgot when she was
doing her regular Christmas shop
ping." Rich With Carbon.
"I had a searchlight lunch at that
little country store," says the automn
bilist. recounting the adventures on
Ijis last trip.
"A searchlight lunch?" inquire the
hearers, with puzzled expressions.
"Yes mostly currants."
Thus we see that as tho automobile
