(Special.) Gov ernor ShallenberRer flurnnd last night from Fort Worth, Tex., where h attended a meting of the dlrect.x of the National Live Stock association, the Texas State Cattlemen' association and the Texas Press association meeting. At the last named meeting nn old-time barbecue was pulled off and the waiter were million aire, donning their aprona and working like Rood fellow to show their respect for the pre. At each of the meeting the governor delivered an address and he was elected on honorary member of the Texas Cattle? mn association, on honor enjoyed only by three men, one of them oelng en-Presl-drnt Koosevelt. While the governor of Texas wa not present at the meeting, said the governor, there were four candi date for govrrnor on the platform at one time. "One of the big lsue In Texaa during thl campaign," ald the governor, "1 the ejection of a warden of the state peni tentiary and the disposition of the con victs. The prisoner are hired out to do various kinds of work, and Just who desire thl convict labor make the peni tentiary quite an Issue In the campaign. The prison now ha 3,700 convict." By a cltixen of Oklahoma who attended the meeting the governor wa told there were 1.M0 convict In the penitentiary of that state. "Thl large penitentiary population," said the governor, "ahould make a Ne braskan feel proud of hi state, a we have not more than 400 convict on an average." The governor enjoyed the meeting, but raid the stockmen of Texaa had been up against It thl year for feed. Corn Bella for $1 a bushel. No Permanent Organisation. The work In behalf of foreign mission which got such a boost by reason of the laymen's Missionary meeting here the first of the week, will be continued by the mis sionary committees of the various churches, though the organization which looked after the recent convention has disbanded. There were many who desired that the convention c6mmlttee continue as a permanent organ isation, but President E. R. Sixer objected to this and argued that It was now up to the various church committees to look after tha work in their own way. Ths convention banquet wag the greatest event of the kind ever held In the City Aud itorium, In that thera were more people neated at the tattles than the capacity of the house. There were 300 more diners than ever before attended a banquet In the hall, the next largest being the banquet of the State Teachers' association, when there were 1,042 seated. Attending the missionary banquet were 1,38ft. Thl large crowd was seated In twenty-two minutes, and every address was pulled off in sohedule time and the convention adjourned at tha hour set, the first time, some of the speakers said, such f thing ever happened at this kind of a, meet tag. As an evidence of the business way in - which President Blzer and his aides did their work Is shown In the fact that every church received Its check for dinners served the morning following the banquet. Mr. Slier has on hand a bunch of letters ex pressing grateful surprise at thl prompt ness. The suppers were served by the vari ous church organisations and the Women's Relief Corps. There were 140 young men waiters, one for each ten guests. In ad dition to those served in the Auditorium there were over 100 served 1 the dining room of the First Presbyterian church.

Tha train will leave Oxford at 6:60 a, m. and return In the afternoon. It will reach Hastings In time to catch No. I going east. The commission will consider the schedule after It Is filed and If there Is very much Objection from the people of Red Cloud they will be given a hearing. There is on file now with the commission, petitions asking for better train service between Red Cloud and Hastings and the Red Cloud people ask that the train leave Hasting In he morning and thus give A travelers servers I hours to spend In the Webster county town. Whether It will be satisfactory to those Interested for the train to originate In Oxford, going through Red Cloud to Hastings, the commission does not know, but those who object will be given an opportunity to be heard be fore the commission endorses the schedule.

Perause the association of butter and egg dealers agreed to pay 15 cent les a caso (or egg In secondhand cases, It Is possible the matter will be Investigated by the attorney general. Ths fart that such an agreement was made became public at the meeting of the association when the minutes of the last meeting were read. It was shown In those minutes that such an agreement existed and Morris Friend expressed regret that some of the dealers failed to abide by It. Without looking Into the matter carefully, It was stated at the office of the attorney general that such an agreement might pos sibly come under the law prohibiting com binations In restraint of trade.

STRIKING CASE PRESENTED HIM fttephen Jones, Grandson of Warriors, Here fOr Laymen's Convention, Startles Soldier Who Fought Hla Ancestors. "I know of nothing within recent years that has so Impressed me as an Incident that came under my observation today," said a veteran of the Indian wars of 1866-8 In Nebraska, and the northwest, who bears the scars of ten years conflict with tha Sioux, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Commanche and Apache Indians. "I happened to be In the Young Men's Christian association In Omaha and was waiting in the parlor, when I noticed a young white girl of probably 15 or 17 years caring for a baby, whose mother sat Just In front, but with her back toward me. The baby was of a dark complexion, but for the moment I did not notice the mother. In any event she was watching the nurse and her child closely and would occasionally go over to the nurse and child. "Presently there came Into the parlor a young man neatly dressed, of a distinct Indian cast of features, approaching the mother of the child, he embraced her gently and, then taking the baby from the arms of the white nurse, he handed it lovingly toward the mother. As they turned I saw that both were full blood Indians, the father and mother, and the baby Itself possessed every characteristic of the Indian child. Why Are Yon Here? "I asked the father why they were here." " 'Oh, we came down from Pine Ridge to register for the Laymen's Missionary con vention,' said he. "It was a revelation to me. I looked back over the bloody years, when white babies were impaled while yet living on the branches of trees to die of indescribable and unimaginable torture, by the grand parents of this young man I met today. And then I thought 'What hath God wrought Jn these few years.' "The lesson needs no further analysis." "That young man la Stephen Jones," said Secretary Wade of the Young Men's Christian aaociatlon. "He la secretary of slxty-slx Young Men's Christian asnclatlon among the Indians of northern Nebraska and South Dakota, and ts now carrying the Bible, where his ancestors only a few years ago carried the tomahawk and scalp ing knife. He Is a graduate of Carlisle, Pa., school, and Is one of the brightest products of that great Institution." "And there Is another story back of that," said the old veteran. "In my day It used to be Carlisle barracks. It was there we used to educate soldiers to pacify the Indians. Then It was transposed into an Indian school which has since educated scores of young men such as Stephen Jones." and make use of the waiting rooms pro vided. The member of the Park board gave a a reason that they propose to build a mag nificent entrance to the park and that the car tracks would be In the way of this. The Key to the Situation Bee Want Ads. Persistent Advertising Is the road to Big Returns. WEST ENDERS DEMAND A T FOR THE CARS TO TURN ON They Are Not Satisfied with Only a Stab Line on Leavenworth Street. Members of the West End Improvement club are up In arms because of the refusal of the Park board to grant permission to the street railway company to build a T for turning their cars within the park. No street Is available for this purpose Just outside the park, and if this permission Is not granted the company will be obliged to turn the Leavenworth cars where they now turn and simply run a stub car to the park. This Is not what the West Sldera want. Tbey desire to have all West Leav enworth cars run to tha end of the line. It was tha purpose of the street railway company to run a Y Into the park the same as Is don at the Forest Lawn cemetery, where the ears are run within the grounds and visitors may alight within the grounds A REMARKABLE CAMERA LENS necent Invention of Marylander Photoarraphs Everythlng ln Sight. Prof. Robert Williams Wood of the chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins university has Just received word from the officials of the International Photographlo exposition at Dresden, Germany, that there has been awarded to him a prize for his striking exhibit of photographs made with his fish-eye camera, and which show how the world appears to the fish. Prof. Wood's camera does not have the usual flat lens, but a projective bull's-eye that photographs everything in sight, from the feot to the sky overhead and all around the horizon, covering an angle of ISO de grees. It will photograph objects above water or while submerged In a lake or .1 M.1 . .... vu.iu. ino proiessor nas Den at work on his camera for three years, but It was unknown to the public until he showed a series of photographs at the International show at Dresden, where they attracted marked attention. The ordinary camera reproduces only wnat is immediately In front of a small circle represented by Its lens. If Prof. Wood's device be placed on a floor the projecting fish-eye will photograph all four sides of the room and the celling at the same flash. If held close to a man, say a half foot from his waist, it will photograph all on either side of him and all above his head and below his feet. Should It bo suspended from & balloon, It would take a panorama of a city out to the horizon. Other cameras are limited to single views In one direction or to a semi-circle of the landscape, and this Is the first that will photograph all that the human eye may see in a sweep In all directions. Its useful ness in war, it Is believed, will be very great; The photographs that won a prize at the International exhibit are unique. One shows a string of Johns Hopkins students that Prof. Woods lined up on a curb stone. The result has a concave effect. but the camera caught every man In the line. Another shows the sky and the cob blestones In the street. They appear. It is i explained, Just a they would to fish look ing up from a pond at a group of men around a circular railing. Another photograph of a single Individual shows him distended forward, with feet and shoulders bent backward, much like the comic effect seen in the concave mir rors at excursion resort. The photograph taken from under a bridge is remarkable, because it takes In all details of the bridge out to both land ends. Prof. Woods says there 1 practically no end to the variety of novel effects h may obtain. Weird results were obtained by a climb to the top of the gigantic Doric column that forms the Washington monu ment in Mount Vernon place, Baltimore. The camera was held over the edge of the observation platform, 185 feet above the ground. It caught not only the sides of the pile of marble down to Its base, but the broad asphalt streets about the foot of the shaft, the park walks and squares to the north and south and the fashionable resi dences and public structures on widely separated street corners.

Dirt Is not neces sarily cheap. The true Inwardness of why President Taft did not stand upon a piece of the "ould sod" at the St. Patrick's ban quet last night Is something of a mystery. In any event the sod for the most part dis appeared during last night, probably by the route of the souvenir hunter. The sod was Imported In order that the president might address Irish-Americans from the real soil of the emerald isle. It was first reported missing from the ship on which It was being carried, but this rumor proved unfounded. Upon Its arrival in Chicago It was stored In a room at the La Salle hotel, where the banquet was held tonight. Ever since Its arrival crowds of Irish men and women have visited the hotel and cried at the sight of this tangible bit of their fatherland. These people in some cases un doubtedly carried away small pieces of the sod. but the heaviest Inroad Is said to hav been made last night. In some quarters It Is hinted that tha disappearance was not accidental, but was deliberately carried out as a solution of the custom that a president of the United States shall not set foot during his term of office on foreign soil. If the sod was re garded In the sentimental light of being an actual part of Ireland a strayed political fragment many argued that the president could not In propriety stand upon It. When the view was presented that the sod had no political significance, but was a mere Importation of mineral and vege table matter, the sentimentalists became somewhat peevish. When the disappearance was discovered today the official explanation included a statement that the sod was altogether too bulky for a banquet room and that It was not a good place to place a chair, anyway.
