(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May ' 23. Special.)-"! have
sent Bryan petition to every prrclnct In
Polk county and thry aro bolng (renrrously
Signed." said Victor Wilson of Ntromsburg,
member of the late democratic lenlsla
ttlre. "The petitions ask that Mr. Bryan's
name be placed upon the ballot an a candi
date for the ITnlted Ftatea senate. These
petitions will be circulated pretty thor
oughly over the stale and we will be able
to Ret many thousands of sinners. In f.ict
I firmly believe that we can aret rirt.0r0
names on these petitions.
"The petition was first ent me by rtepre
tentative Evans of Hamilton. I understand
he Is having them circulated all over that
county. I have sent copies of the petition
to Omaha and th:y will be circulated
there.", ' ;
"10 you believe Mr. Bryan will be a
candidate for the senate?" was asked Mr.
Wilson.
"I feel positive thnt when we file these
petitions he will consent to make the rac?.
I think there Is no 'doubt about It." was the
answer.
C. W. Bryan was asked If he knew that
petitions were being circulated In the In
terest of Mr. Bryan and he replied that he
had heard there were such petitions in
existence, but that he had received no
direct information regarding tho matter.
Harpoon for llryan.
On the heels of the statement from Victor
Wilson' that he Is circulating petitions,
Kdgar' Howard's Columbus Telegram
reached the state house and It contained
this Hem:
Congressman Hitchcock sent Charley
McCune to Columbus yesterday to boost
the senatorial candidacy of Mr. Hitchcock.
It Is a peculiar fact that nine-tenths of
McCtine'a political talk to some Columbus
gentlemen consisted of nasty reference to
Mr. Bryan, some of the talk being meaner
than any ever spoken by the notorious
Uuffey. It Is natural to suppose that
when McCune was throwing clubs at Bryan
he did so by direction of his master. It Is
also natural to suppose that Bryan's
friends (and there are many) will keep
these sayings of the Hitchcock agents in
their hearts. .
C. W. Bryan had not seen the Edgar
Howard statement, he said, but he was
loathe to believe that Mr. Hitchcock would
countenance any such talk on the part of
any of Ms employes. In the meantime Mr,
Bryan, wtio la on his way to Europe, be
fore leaving the state, expressed his great
satisfaction over the Omaha meeting, say
ing that It succeeded far beyond his ex
pectation, while Victor Wilson said he ex
pected the Bryan petitions in Omaha lo be
generously signed. " So Mr. Hitchcock Is
going to be fought at home by his own
partyi .;: .. .
Itnilnar on Empty Cream Can.
Creameries which send out . milk cans,
empty, for the first time that is, before
they have. been used must pay the freight
or express on them. Such Is the order of
the State Railway commission Issued today.
The question was raised by the Farmers'
Co-operative company of Omaha, which
objected to paying charges on the cans
, which It was sending out the first time.
Some months ago the commission held that
empties should be hauled free by the rail
road and express companies, but the ques
tion settled today waa not raised at that
time,
,,W. L. Qlersdorf, who has been doing
preaching on the street In Grand Island
and. other towns, his children furnishing
the music, has appealed to Oovernor
Shallenberger for protection and for "some
statement" from - him which will protect
him frVm molestation In his work. Ac
oordlfig to the letter the preacher was ar
' rested -and placed In Jail on a charge of
blockading the street. Liabor Commissioner
Waupln waa then notified that the man
had violated the child labor law In that
Ms children were not old enough to work.
Maupln went to Grand Island Saturday,
the day set for th0 trial, but concluded the
child labor law did not cover the case and
suggested that proceedings be brought un
der the juvenile court law.
Newspaper clippings sent along with the
. letter from the minister said when he was
lodged In Jail a large crowd followed the
officer and rigged up a figure and egged
It and then burned It to show their disre
spect for the mayor. The Ministerial

Everybody haro is willing to donate cash

the constant use of the road drag. After
each' rain the road drags are brought Into

ager of the holdings of the Morton broth

Arbor Lodge, has been making a close In
spection of the apple crop at Arbor Lodge
