LINCOLN. Sept. 1". (Special ) The as
crilon made by W. J. Ilryau ilurlnt? a dis
cussion of paramount Incite at St. Louis
8eptembor 13 that ttau net Income of live
ncrec of his farm would not yield over 1
per cent on thu money Invested, was noth
ing less than an attempt at deception, cal
culate to create the. Impression that
prices offered for farm products aro too
low, while those asked for supplies are
too hlph consequently, farmlnK Is an un
profitable occupation. He said the trusts
sere responsible for this condition of af
fairs and explained that he spoke of his
own experience simply to show that tho re
publican nowspupers exonerate. tho
farmer's prosperity.
In an abstract from Mr. Llryan's utter
ance concernlnr the revenue from his live
acre oat flolil was substantially true, but
It was far from represent Itm; the exper
ience of other farmers In Lancaster or any
other county In tho stale. The land which
Mr. llryan calls his farm consists of only
twenty-llvo acres. It Is only u charter of
a mile from a street car line and until
placed under cultivation was divided olf Into

purposes the land owned by Mr. llrynn I
tho most undesirable In the vicinity, sit
uated as It Is cn the top of a hill, l'rom
the Bryan farmhouse a porson may look
completely over tho city of Lincoln and
because of this commanding view the prop
erty has always been ivKanled an suitable
only for suburban residences. Of tho
twenty-live m res of bind that comprise Mr.
Uryan's famous farm only fifteen aro un
der cultivation. Five acres wero sown
with wheat, live acres planted to corn and
five ncics sown with oats. The remaining
ten acres are used for the farmhouse; and
barnyards and a small orchard of young
fruit trees. Adjoining Mr. llryan'a fnrm
are flvo ncres of Innd beloiiKlni; to his
brother. Charles llryan, which were pur
chased nt a sheriff's sale. It Is generally
understood that this properly, too, really
belongs to llryan, the candidate, but the
record was made In tho namo of tho
brother.
All tho land owned by W. .1. llryan woh
purchased on tho Installment plan. He
first bought live acres of building lots
when the old Lincoln Normal college was
established In tho vicinity, this trans
action being made as a speculation.
Slnre then he has added to Ills posses
sions a few acres at a time.
"Tho land owned by Mr. llryan Is prac
tically worthless for agricultural pur
poses." said a real estate man, "There Is an
abundanco of lantl tiearer Lincoln nud bet
ter for cultivation than the llryan property
that can bo bought for from MO to $30 per
ncre. It Is posslblo that Mr. llryan paid $100
per aero for his land, but It should bo
understood that II was not farm property
but building lot A that he bought. It Is not
reasonable to expect a big rcvonuo from
farming on such lund and Mr. llryan should
i ousider himself very fortunate If ho
makes 1 per cent on his Investment."

OuM l,n nic.
IlKATIMCn. Nub., Sept. 17. (Special.)
The mandamus suit begun agnlnst Dr.
Lang of the Feeble Minded Instltuto by
Cinvernnr l'oyntcr on Saturday last Is con
sidered by Lang's sympathizers hero to bo
the last dc8pcrato effort of the State houso
politicians to oust Lang and gain posses
sion of tho Institution before election.
The last agreement which tho governor
attempted to enter Into with Lang, on
August 13, failed utterly to work, as Dr.
Dearlng did not feel disposed to sign tho
agreement, nlthough Lang expressed his
willingness to do so.
Lang's willingness to sign was taken by
fusion politicians here as an Indication of
the fact that Lang wanted to do tho square
thing anil that the l'oyntcr faction should
kick over the traces at the time when
every vote was needed has disgusted sev
eral demo-pops, who have not been slow
to express themselves regarding the mat
ter. As a compromlso cannot be reached
Lang now says ho wants to bo left alone
or ho will get mad and go after the other
fellows In dead earnest. "I have held
back for the party's sake, but this thlni?
Is going too far and patience has ubnut
ceased to bo a virtue," ho ways.
Tho doctor Is going ahead with the work
at the Institution as though he had a per
manent Job and Invites Investigation of
all books, records and workings of tho In
stitution by tho citizens of tho state.
In an Interview he stated to Tho Ilco
representative In answer to an Interroga
tion concerning the charge that the school
at the Institution has been allowed to run
down on account of his Inability to secure
good teachers' "You may say that It Is
all bonh. I have as good a corps of
teachers and Instructors as have been
gathered together at the Institution. Miss
Heaihley and Miss Woslku, well known
young women of your city, and Miss
Illakesley of Wymore, all teachers of tho
highest educational attainments and rec
ognized ability, aro three of my latest ac
quisitions and no one familiar with the
school work In tho least will belluvo the
ehargo for an Instant. It Is merely a ruse
of tho opposition to worry tho parents and
friends of the poor unfortunates under
my ehargo nnd to gain sympathy for
l'oyntcr among these people."
Vol n Political Home.
Dr. Lang says he Is unwilling thnt the In
stitution should be made a haven of rest
and refuge for discharged employes of the
other state Institutions whoso only quali
fications for a Job consists of n political
pull which they consider entitles thorn to
a share of tho state funds.
Thore Is an element of the fusionlst par
ties hero who aro redhot nt tho action
of the governor In sending back or promis
ing to send hack employes whom Lang
claims to havo discharged for Incompe
tency and tho leading fusion attorney of
the city expressed himself as follows on
one of tho rumored returning employes:
"If they send tho old lady back h 1 will
pop. for the boys won't stand for It, as
this Is not a homo for tho superanuated."
Already some of the local pops who have
been promised Jobs In caso Hearing gains
possession aru gutting a little uneasy, as
,t ,mf) ,eilIioll mU Umt after c w St(,wnrt
had been tendered and hnd accepted tho
appointment as steward that ox-Stoward
Jenkins of the Norfolk asylum was of
fered tho same position, hut refused to ac
cept It nnd advised tho rest of tho hoys
to have nothln:; to do with tho light at
all. Those who now contemplnto drawing
salaries on tho Institution roll this win
ter in caso Dcaring gets possession are
very nervous for fear that others may be
promised the same plums and that n llt
tlo dlfllciilty may be experienced In llnd
Ing berths for all when tho tlmo comes.
They would like to sco Hearing In posses
sion before election so that thoy will
know which way to voto nnd will have
some show of getting tholr campaign as
sessment back.
Heatrlce people aro sick and tired of tho
continuous performance in tho wrangle
at tho pie counter nud a largo number of
the fuslonlsts who Intend to vote for
llryan Intend to scratch l'oyntcr.

FALLS CITY, Neb., Sept. 17.-(Speclal
Telegram.) Kdward Hosewater addressed
a large and enthusiastic' meeting at Verdon
this evening. The hall was crowded, many
being compelled to stand during tho ad
dress. Tho attdlenco was composed almost
entirely of voters of all parties. Mr. nose
water spoke for over an hour and reviewed
tho Issues In a forcible manner, being fre
quently Interrupted by npplnuse.
In his opening retnrks ho took up tho his
tory of the Spnnlsh-Amerlrnn war and
showed how tho administration had suc
cessfully met tho problems Involved. He
showed thnt nt the close of tho war the
future of tho Filipinos was In tho hands of
i ho American people. That at no tlmo had
the policy of tho administration In regard
to these peoplo been one of tyrnnny nnd op
pression. Ho contrasted tho policy of tho
administration with Jiryan's idea of a pro
tectorate, and showed tho protectorate
meant the retaining of tho troops In tho
islands with a government handicapped In
their use.
In further speaking on expansion and
Km eminent without the consent of the gov
erned ho cited lnstnnces of expansion In the
history of the United States, notably those
of tho Louisiana purchaso and the acquisi
tion of Alaska, and pointed out thnt in
neither enso did the Inhabitants of tho ter
ritory give their consent.
In referring to the Sulu treaty he showed
that the party who endeavored by force of
arms to make Hlavery a permanent i'lstltu
tlon In this country. Is now crying out
that tho administration was permitting
slavery under the American Hag In tho
Sulu Islands and In refuting this ehargo
quoted from the president's instructions to
tho commission to tho effect that ns soon
ns tho military forces were organized slav
ery should not be tolerated under nny cir
cumstances. In speaking of the constitution following
the ling Mr. Kosewater pointed nut that the
constitution does not extend to unorganized
territory, citing our present form of terri
torial government. Mr. Hosewater spoke
at some length on the Porto Ulcnn mailer
and Khowed that the action of thu adminis
tration was more to avoid Betting a danger
ous precedent will regard to the Hilllp-
Ines. Free trade with tho Philippines must
pply also to travel, and result In the im
porting of cheap Filipino lnbnr to compete
with the American working man. Mr. Hose
water then passed to the silver question
nnd showed the failure of the Hryan predic
tions of ISM nnd pointed out the evlden.ee
of prosperity ns a result of restored confi
dence under the gold standard. Uryan's at-
tltudo In congress In regard to tho trusts
was taken up and discussed. The speaker
showed that although trusts existed ho
drafted no bill tending to remedy tho evil.
In conclusion Mr. Hosowntcr referred to
tho Incompetency of tho present stato ad
ministration and Its failure to enforce
existing anti-trust laws and dosed his ad
dress with an nppenl to tho republicans to
stand united In the great battle that Is be-
foro them.

called for today to relievo tho worn-out
guards at Galveston. A part of tho Trcze

Two moro relief trains with supplies arc
being forwarded from bete. Tho local re
lief committees are providing means for tak

Direct wire connection with Galveston
was partially established this morning and
It Is probable tho work will hnvo been so
far completed by nightfall that uninter
rupted communication can be held with the
stricken city.
Reports Indlcnto no material change In the
situation there. Tho railroads are exerting
every effort to get a temporary bridge across
the bay from near Virginia Point. The
moro optimistic assert that trains will bo
crossing by Thursday of this week, but It
Is hardly probable that trains carrying any
thing more than construction material will
venturo across earlier than next week.
