TTIF, OMAHA DAILT BEE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 28. 1909. LINCOLN NEWS SEES THINGS ilaket Bitter Attack en Omaha and the Kni?hU of Ak-Sar-Ben. ETOBt TOO SUIT FOR CBEDENCE Poor Ret era far Effort at Knights H ) (Mate Fair, hut l.larnla Met ta Blamed for Antic. ( This Newspaper. I Prfn ft Stuff Correspondent.) U.VCOWr. Aug. ?7. 8peclal.)-A news paper here hof edlffr counts his Income by the number of Bryan stories he can tell, masquerading aa a republican, came out last flight with a bitter titlark on evory thlnat In Omaha In an effort to lln tip th" state against that rlty. The paprr even accused King Ak-Par-Ben of being a political Institution, which had entered the combination to throttle progressive r publlcanlsni. The atnry falls tn tell Just who all these1 allied Interests In Omaha are lined tip behind, but It la printed under the enlightening headline, "Omaha In teague Against the State; Business Men, Brewer and Railroads Combine On Slate to Stop Agitation Against Abuse of Cor porations." The only reason, attention is called to the atory here la because the great ma jority of the people of Lincoln take no stock In such rot and are willing to do all they can to boost their own city with out circulating false atorlea about Omaha. The great majority of the people of L.ln coin know the paper, appreciate Its un reliability and regret that It la thus. It might b amusing to the people of Omaha to know that this sheet said Gov ernor (Jeorge 1 Sheldon would be wiped off the. political map by the vote In that city. . . Omaha clllsens who come to the state fair will receive a royal welcome from the good people of Lincoln, regardless of the way they are being advertised by the pin head sheet, and thoae who stay away will miss a glorious gotd time. In discussing the big fake story In the Lincoln News regarding Omaha being lined up against the state, 8. r. Barton, republican candidate for auditor, who waa severely taken to ta.sk In the article be cause A. Galusha and E. M. Searle are said to be for htm, merely laughed when the article waa shown to him. "That paper haa appointed my deputies for me without . consulting me," he said "and now It Is abusing thern. I believe that. Isn't right. , The paper should stand for Ita own appointees." - In regard to the endoraement given him by the Railway Employes', Protective association, Mr. Bar ton aald: . "I know nothing of the association ex cept what I have read In the papers. The association asked no promises from me and I gave none." Prevention at Taherealosls.

Rural teachers ought to attend the November meetings In large num bers, and there Is promises that they will. Many from the western counties have ex pressed their determination to attend. The timely symposium on the high school problem Thursday morning, November 6, bids fair to be a rich feature. Dr. E. J.

Waterhouse of Fremont: Assistant Superintendent George Plstt Knox of the St. Louis schools and Prlnclpf A. D. Call of the 8econd North High school of Hartford. Conn.

Phelps Crop Conditions. HOLDREGE, Neb.. Aug. 27.-( Special.) Crop conditions In the northern portion of Phelps county could not be much better than they are this season. Corn Is looking fine, and It Is estimated that the yield will be from sixty to seventy-five bushels to the acre. Wheat that Is threshed Is going from twenty-five to forty-five bushels to the acre, and a few days ago one farmer threshed out 6,500 huahels of oats from 1C0 acres of ground. Some of them are cutting their third crop of alfalfa, and say that It will do better than the first one. There are places In the county where there will be scarcely anything, and other places where hailstorms destroyed the crops. Corn has suffered worse than anything else, for lack of moisture In July. However, none of the farmers who have suffered from either hail or dry weather are anxious to sell out. Taft flab at Falrbary.

JOBBERS WILL INVADE MONTANA Rlrh Toaatry af 80,000 aaare Miles and T 6,000 Paaalatlaa Snbject ta Comaserelal Coaajeeat by Nebraska Metraaolla. Omaha jobbers are preparing to Invade the territory, comprising about tf,00f squar milea and a population of about 7S.00O, which will be made tributary to Omaha within the next month. Thla vast area will be dded by the operjng to traffic of the new extension of the Burlington system from Billings to Great Falls, Mont. This new line will put Omaha In direct touch with the vast territory traversed by the Great Northern, with which road the Bur lington will then have direct connection. The Burlington now has two through trains from Omaha to the Pacific north- weat, both running direct from Omaha to Billings, and then west over the Northern Pacific. Although the Burlington officials say that no defnite plana have been out lined, it Is now considered more than prob able that the Burlington will run one train to the coast over the Northern Pacific and the other over the Great Northern, thus putting the entire country tributary tn the Great Northern In direct touch with Omaha. Coaanetltlon Will Come. Since railroads first Invaded Montana the people of the northern part of that state and along the line of the Great Northern have been at the mercy of the tradesmen of the Twin Cities, this territory being recognized by all as exclusively Minneap olis and 8t. Paul territory because of the direct route of the Great Northern. All this will soon charge and the jobbers of Omaha will Invade that territory, offering the merchants of the towns along the Great Northern better prices because of competition. That this competition will be welcomed goes without saying, and the Omaha jobbers will have easy sailing when they first enter, and are able to offer goods at less money than these merchants are accustomed to pay. Not only will the jobbers Of Omaha be able to sell to thla rich country, but Omaha the Market Town, will offer a splendid additional market for the products of the fields and forests of this country. Omaha Is already doing an Immense vol ume of business With the country around BUllngs, and it will be but a siiort journey to extend Into the new territory. It Is said that one county on the new line has more sheep than any county In the United States and all the world knows that Omaha has a fine sheep market and will be the leading wool market of the world. Bltamlnons Coal Field. The new line taps a bituminous coal field that is said to be second to none except the Pennsylvania fields. For 230 mil?. the new line runs through a country which will yield as good wheat aa any country on earth. A few small fields of wheat have proven thla, although vast stretches have not as yet been touched by the plow, but will be as soon as the new road goes to bringing In settlers. Because of the build ing of this Burlington extension, which is in reality being built by the Great Northern, and by the Milwaukee extension to the const, which crosses this line, land values have Increased within the last two years from 110 an acre to $75 an ace in aotne localities. The Burlington thus will have through trains before the Milwaukee, and tha Bur lington will ran its trains direct from Omaha, thus giving the Omaha Jobbers a first crack at the new business.

VILAS DEAD Farmer rablaet MfaWr Vaaer lere lend Paneo Away at Maal aaa M. MADISON, Wla., Aug. r.-Colonel TV11 Ham F. Vilas died at 10; o'clock this morning, following five weeks of Illness. The colonel early this morning showed signs of remarkable Improvement. Shortly after 10 o'clock, while the nurses were admlrsterlng a bath to the patient. they noticed that he weakened very quickly. An attempt was made to reach the doctor, but Colonel Vilas died before he could be reached. Dr. Philip Fox believes that the Imme diate cause of death was a second stroke of paralysis. Colonel William F. Vilas suffered a cere- beral hemorrhage a short time since. "I knew Secretary Vilas intimately and am grieved to learn of his death," sard Dr. George L. Miller. "He was a great man and a lovable man; an eminent lawyer, a foremost, citisen, a statesman without peer, an orator of marked ability and friend whose acquaintance I valued highly. He visited Omaha a number of times and I became well acquainted with him, though I met the statesman the first time In 18SI at Albany at the time of Mr. Cleveland's first notification as a candidate of the democratic party for prealdent. Mr. Vilas made the notification epeerh. "I will always remember a little inci dent that occurred at that time. A mem ber of Governor Cleveland's staff was sent to me to tell me that a young lady In the parlor wished to see me. I of course hurried to grant the lady's desire, and when I was ushered Into the parlor It was to meet Frances Folsom of Buffalo, the future Mrs. Cleveland. She was a young and pretty girl at that time, and In a win some way told me that she Juat wanted to see the editor of the Omaha Herald, which paper, because It waa a good democratic paper, waa taken by her father and read by the future mistress of the White House. I was editor of the Omaha Herald at that time." Secretary Vilas In his younger days a law partner of Judge Eleaier Wake-ley of Omaha. Judge Wakeley and hla brother were engaged In the practice of law In Madison, Wis., the home of the secretary. Before the war young Vilas was office boy In the Wakeley law office and studied law with the partners. When tne war broke out the future senator and statesman went to the front, and In ISfifi, when am nesty was proclaimed, he returned to Madl son and became a partner In the old firm under the name of Wakeley Broa. ft Vilas. This, partnership was In existence until 1W7, when Judge Wakeley moved to Omaha. Judge Wakeley Is at present In Seattle. Advertise tn The Bee It goes Into the homes of those you are .trying to reach.

SUEftMAN SPEARS AT UTICA (Continued from First Page.) parties strive to carry out certain govern, mental policies and principles, but whether we be republicans or democrats we ate first, laat and always Americans proud of our country, proud of our pooltlon among nations, proud of our progress, of our exalted standards and splendid accomplish ments. Aitnougn partisans, we an sincerely dealre the greatest good for the greatest. number, it is not in opinion or tne ulti mate goal desired to be reached In whicft we differ, but rather in ths safe and sura aav to attain that goal. We are today in a condition of profound peace with all the world. Would that that condition might continue without end," but the moat sanguine can hardly have such ex pectation. It Is appropriate and natural that in time of peace we give thought to Industrial problems. We do give thought mainly to commercial progress, snd yet a glance at our annnal appropriation bills ahowa that- year alter year we- are' placing our army and our navy on a firmer founda tion, for we are constantly preparing for the war which we hope will never come. We believe that our surest guaranty of peace la found In perfect preparation for war. May I repeat the words of your comrade. President Harrison, spoken before the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, in 1K2? "We will pursue the paths of peace. We are not a warlike nation. All our Instincts, all our history. Is In the lines of peace. Only Intolerable aggression, only the peril of our Institutions, of the flag, can thor oughly arouau us. With capability for war on land and sea unexcelled by any nation In the world, we are smitten with the love of peace. We would promote the peace of this people by placing some large guns about the Golden Gate, simply for saluting purposes. and yet they ahould be of the best 1 modern type." Army Gnaraatee af Protection. And so let me. gentlemen, give expres sion to my thoughts In words uttered on another occasion, that we should at all times maintain such an army snd such a navy as would be the sure guarantee of protection of American cltisens snd Ameri can rights every where and beat the same time aa omen of peace; that we should at every exposed point be so fully protect d that no power on earth would wish to molest us. Let the uppermost thought of the day be of peace rather than of war. Let ua glory In the commerlcal progress of our country and tha happlneee of our people.
