(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 24. (Special.) Jut when
the State Board of Equalisation meets
airaln depends considerably on the dates of
the Junior normal school and on threshing
day. Governor Sheldon Is out of the city
attending the former and Secretary of State
Junkln Is threshing wheat. Treasurer
llrlan. Auditor Searle and Land Commis
sioner Eaton are here, but It has been cus
tomary for the board to settle nothing
definitely regarding assessment without a
full board la present, so nothing will be
done until the other two return. In the
meantime the members are studying the
matter of the assessment of the various
counties according to location and each
group Is numbered: Following are a few

Fusion on Primary Dnllot.
The democrats and populists of Nebraska
have won their fight for fusion on tho
tickets at the first primary election
on September 3. The supremo court
today handed down a decision over
ruling the demurrer of the attorney
general and ordorlng the writ of man
damus to compel tho secretary of state
to permit fusion on the primary ballots.
The question was argued yesterday at a
special meeting of the court. The fualon
Ists now have until August 3 to get their
petitions out and n...ms of candldutes
filed.
The suit was the out- om of tha re
fusal of the secretary of urate to put the
name of a populist on the democratic ticket
as candidate for regent of the stnte unl-.
Verslty, he acting on the advice of At
torney General Thompson, who wanted the
law tested.
The suit was brought to compel Secre-1
tary of State Junkln to place the name of
J. L. Sundean on both the populist und
democratic tickets as a candidate for re
gent of the state university. No opinion In
the case has, yet been written.
Some Statistics Valnelrss.
"Figures of railroad shipments from
Douglas county outside of Omaha and
Bouth Omaha are most peculiar," said
Ijibor Commissioner Ryder. "In fact, they
ure worthless for publication purposes. I
presume this Is because of reshtpments of
commodities at Omaha. I it me Just give
the figures as returned by the stations In
Douglas county outside the two cities. They
will be Interesting rather for what they
do not show, than for what they do show.
Here they are: Raspberries, 1 crate;
peaches, 2 baskets; grapes, 26 baskets; fresh
fruit, 70 pounds; blackberries, 3 crates;
apples, 1 barrel; timothy seed, 600 bushels
and millet seed the same quantity; wood,
304 cords; cattle, 3.800: hogs, 23,463; horses
and mules, 70; sheep, 10,200.
"Of hay, 490 tons were shipped; of wheat.
lO.OtO bushels flat, and of oats, 34,437 bushels,
while the corn shipments from country
stations ran up to 718,000 bushels. Of but
ter, there was shipped, 23.075 pounds and
3o,35 doien of eggs are accounted for. In
the poultry line the shipments comprised,
. E?S pounds dressed, and 60,075 pounds live.
No frogs' legs, as Frank Handle captures
. and uses about all of these. There were
, 26.4R6 pounds of dressed meat shipped, of
hides and pelts 355 pounds, of wool 37.500
pounds, and of furs StO pounds. Of cream
JW gallons are noted, of milk 9T.6M gallons,
and of honey io pounds.
"One of the most valuable shipments that
left the county was l.fltO tons of Ice,
which must have been worth the price of
a few automobiles. Waterloo shows up
strong with 10 cars of onion sets, while
Valley shipped out 150,210,000 pounds of
sand and gravel.
"Stuff raised, handled and old by mar
ket gardeners and fruits raisers, or ths
products of dairies and creamery men, are
not accounted for at all by these figures.
And the chicken and egg farmers of
Omaha's suburbs are also unaccounted for."
Express Companies Weaken.
After a consultation with the representa
tives of the various express companies this
morning, the State Hallway commission
look the matter of Issuing a reduced axptvas
rate under advisement, but none of tha
members was willing to say Just what
would be done. While the express company
representatives objected seriously to put
ting In the 25 per cent reduction as pro
vided for In the Sibley bill, no definite In
formation could be secured from the com
mission that it would nullify this law and
allow the corporations to charge a higher
rate. The Sibley law provides ths express
companies may charge 75 per cent of the
rates In effect January 1, until the railway
commission granta them permission to put
In a higher rate. 80 far the law has not
been obeyed by the express companies and
now a suit Is pending In the federal court
at Lincoln, brought by the state, to re
starin them from violating this law. The
companies contend the law does not go Into
effect until August 8, or one month after
July 5. when all bills not carrying the
emergency clause go Into effect. The ex
press agents seem to be willing to stand
for a 16 per cent reduction without fight
ing the case In the courts, but whether
the commission will rermlt them to set

' cent reduction rates a trial remains to be
seen.
A very short time ago members of the
commission were In favor of Issuing an
emergency order and putting the agents of
express companies In Jail and doing a few
other things to them, but that was right
after the president of one of the companies
had telegraphed to Nebraska to his agents
to disregard the law. The commissioners
seem to have an Idea since the hearing
that maybe the express company rates are
not so high after all. .
Street Car Hearing; Draars.
The State Railway commission again had
a session wMh the application of the city
of Lincoln to compel the Traction company
to sell six fares for 25 cents, this afternoon
and President Scudder and General Man
ager Ilumpe of the Traction company were
on the stand most of the time. Incidentally,
they both verified a rumor which was go
In gthe rounds last winter regarding a pro
posed consolidation of the Traction com
pany and the Cltlxens company. Mr. Scud
der said Mr. Shorpe and Mr. Boggs of the
latter company made the proposition to him
to forr.i a third company to take over both
the old companies. The new company was
to consist of ten men, of whom Scudder
wns to be one, but the others were not
mentioned. They offered the stockholders
of the Traction company 300 In bonds of
the new company for their stock, but Scud
der said many of them hnd paid 1400 In all
for. the stock and the price was too low.
The scheme was to Issue 2,0n0,0C0 bonds
and 13,000.000 stock, ell to be sild In Lincoln
and Nebraska. Scudder refused to go Into
the new company and nothing came of the
conference.
In the meantime anyone In Lincoln can
get Fix fares for 25 cents on either car line.
The Citizens company accepts the tickets
of the Traction company and also sells
Traction company tickets six for 25 cents.
Hut the commission will continue the hear
ing tomorrow.
Pncklngr Companies Submit.
The Armour. Cudahy and Swift packing
companies today announced submission to
the franchise tax imposed under the new
state law and will not appeal to the su
preme court. The three companies were
each assessed 12,000 on their franchises (or
doing business In this county, and on suc
cessive appeals to the Board of Equalisa
tion and district court decisions were ren
dered against them. Decisions on appeals
of several other foreign corporations are
pending.

SERIES OF ACCIDENTS AT T7TICA
Two Injured While Working on
Farms and One by Train.
TTTICA, Neb., July 24.-(Speclal Telegram.)
Within the last twenty-four hours there
has been three accidents near this city.
The first one was to William Peters, who
lives five miles northwest of the city, yes
terday afternoon. He had been pitching
hay from a wagon, when he went to get
off the load he threw his pitchfork down
and lost his balance and fell on top of It,
one of the tines going Into his back about
three Inches. One of the boys working
near him, pulled the fork out and he was
rushed to a physician. No serious results
are expected.
The worst accident, happened this after
noon, when passenger train No. 40 on the
Burlington was pulling Into the city at
2:16 o'clock, Oscar Shores, son of C. 8.
Shores the liveryman, was standing be
tween the passing track and main line
watching the freight train for the west
pulling out and did not notice the ap
proach of the passenger train. He was
struck by the pilot of the engine and
thrown about ten feet In the air, breaking
his left Juw and splintering the bones in
his chin and knocking out all of his teeth.
He was also bruised up a great deal about
the back. He was rushed to Dr. Houolien's
oflice, where he ond the dentist. Dr. Gal
lagher, worked over him for some time and
made him as comfortable as possible. Just
how badly he la Injured Internally Is not
known and perhaps will not be for some
days yet.
The third accident, happened to Clarence
Wright at tho home of Will Cross, a mile
and a half northeast of the city. He was
holding up the divide board of a thresh
ing machine while It was being cleaned out.
An Iron rod which connected the board had
worked Itself loose and It fell, catching him
on the right arm and cutting a deep gash
Just above the wrlpt, otherwise bruising it,
and cut a deep gash in his forehend. He
was hurriedly brought to the city and Dr.
McConoughey bandaged the wounds which
will lay him up for some time.
Adam Ileal an Optimist.
HASTINGS. Neb., July 24.-(8peelal Tele
gram.) Congressman J. Adams liede this
afternoon delivered an address at the
Chuutuuqua on "Civilisation: Its Cause
and Cure." Ha argued that all the econ
omic problems confronting the people will
j be solved In due time. Just as other Im
I portant problems have been solved In the
past. His lecture was In marked contrast
with that of Guy Carleton Lee the day
before, who said that the economic en
slavement of tho mass by tho class Is
Inevitable unless there Is a religious and
moral awakening. Mr. Bede was more
optimistic and declared that all problems
will be solved as they come and that the
Star Spangled Banner will wave at the
end of civilization. ' Senator Robert M.
LaFollette. will speak at the Chautauqua
tomorrow afternoon. Last year he drew
the largert crowd ever assembled here to
hear a political speaker and It Is believed
that there will be as large an attendance
tomorrow.

CAIRO The first field of wheat to be

bushels per acre. This will not be a fair
Indication of the average yield of the coun
try, as this Is better than the average,
being on new ground, but it Is the opinion
of many that those who have been pro
phesying ten and fifteen bushel wheat, will
find that they have been mistaken when
the machines have run a little longer.
Tills field of wheat was raised by J. L.
Tittrington, about two miles southeast
of Cairo.

Pender Mosquitoes In and around Pender
the mosquitoes are like the Irishman's
fleas there Is not a single one to be found,
they aro all married and have large fam
ilies. In fact we have two mosquitoes to
one water. And, by the way, this reminds
us of a story which we have heard: A
little Oakland tot of three years was put
to bed, her first night In Pender, by her
mother, with the words, "Now go to sleep,
darling, and remember the angels are fly
ing about your little crib and keeping you
from harm." A few minutes later the
patter of tittle feet was heard and a little
white-robed figure emerged from the bad-
room. "Why, darling, what's the mutterf
said the mother. "I don't like the angels,"
sobbed the little girl. "Why, dearie; why
not?" "One o' tho angels bit me." Pendar

To the Man Who
Appropriates $1,000
Annually for Advertising
A great many of Lord C& Thomas most successful clients began their
advertising with appropriations of a thousand dollars and even lesa
THE Lord & Thomas Agency has
grown to be the largest advertis
ing agency in America through
the successful development of small
advertisers.
Today our volume of business
$4,000,000.00 per year represents the
appropriations of nearly 700 clients, so
the average appropriation is less than
$6,000.00 per year.
Some of our clients who started with
small appropriations are now placing
over $100,000.00 yearly with us, and
their businesses have grown and are
continuing to grow in proportion.
The great majority of our clients are
now appropriating less than $3,000.00
per year. Our future growth depends
upon the development of these $3,000.00-a-year
advertisers into the $ 100,000.00-a-year
class.
We want an opportunity to show you
bow YOU can start advertising with a
small appropriation and get into the
$100,000.00-a-year class.
The small investor always is in greatest
need of protection for his investment
We realize that the $1,000 appropriation
of the beginner means more to him than
the $100,000.00 appropriation of the
older advertiser. We govern ourselves
accordingly. We want to tell you how
we safe-guard your advertising appro
priation by basing your investmaot on
the only trustworthy guide in advertis
ingthe Lord & Thomas Record of
Results.
Our exclusive Record of Results is the
classified, indexed tabulation of actual
results from hundreds of small and
large advertising' campaigns.
This record is interpreted, and the posi
tive knowledge gained thereby is
applied to your business by the ablest
and highest salaried corps of adver
tising men in America.
That is why we can and do develop
small advertisers, because we elimi
nate practically all of the waste in
advertising due to the use of wronj
copy and wrong media.
We want to explain to you, in person,
the detailed workings of the Lord 8c
Thomas Record of Results and just
bow our organization caa Apply what
it teaches to your business.
We want to explain to you why we are
particularly anxious for small accounts
and how we are peculiarly organized
to develop them with the greatest care.
