Mr. Bryan's Option
Record in Doubt
Grand Island Conrention Likely to
Put Some Bather Embarrassing
Questions to Peerless One.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 20 (Special.) Mr. Bryan
will not ret through his campaign for
county. - option without some democrat
questioning his sudden conversion to
county option and already democrats right
here In Lancaster; county, which Is com
pletely under ' his control, are talking of
recent history In which Bryan played a
part. '' " ' ,
When the democratic legislature was or
ganising there waa an out and out county
cptlonlst candidate for Speaker in the per
son of 1 Representative Henry of Holt
county, . hose' campaign was managed by
Arthur Mullen. Ralph Clark was opposed
to county ODtlon as was C. W. Pool. In
stead of selecting Mr. Henry for the posi
tion, the Bryan. Influence was given to
Pool, who was ohosen and who secured his
election only through the help of the Bryan
lieutenants, so. the anti-Pool men said.
That , was Just about eighteen months
ago, these democrats 'who are opposing
Bryan are saying, and it Is very probable
that when the "official Inquisitor" gets
busy at (irand Island asking Governor
fihallenberger- questions regarding his al
leged connection or tie up with the brewers,
all "official Inquisitor the second"' will ask
Mr. Bryan some- questions, one of which
will Include a request for an explanation
of Ills support of Speaker Pool.
Another question that may come up will
v.ave-ij&ldo'ltl'ihe Bryan and Shallenber
Br vots " in 'Lancaster county. In this
tounty antlBryan democrats are pointing
out that Bryan . ran 1.200 ahead of the
governor. They are asking If Khallenberger
got a double cross here. In Harlan county
the govtrnor only ran 1G8 ahead or Bryan,
which is evidence, these democrats are say
ing, that Shallenberger played fair with
Bryan.
It has at last been demonstrated that
Mr. Bryan could have made good and
Knu to the stato convention even if Lan
caster, county had turned him down. In
all probability Furnas county would have
cnl hint, ss It declared for county option.
Democrat ; around Lincoln who like to
be titftlnnst Bryan when he Is out otj
the city, but who are for him whenever
ho is within call, have been chuckling to
themselves that not a' single democratic
convention except Lancaster had declared
for coiinty Option and therefore had they
called Bryan's bluff about going from an
other county Of a delegate to the state
convention, he would hava stayed at home,
aru now disappointed. The news from
Furnas county took the tuck out of them
mill they are not sure but what other
democratic conventions will line up for the
presidential candidate...

Stock Values
Going Higher
Figures Show
Hogs Increase More Than Hundred
Per Cent in Value in Year by
Assessors' Figure.N
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. July 30. (Special.) Instead of
trading a hog for an automobile, as some
of the farmers have done in the funny
papers, a little shoat will shortly bring
home the buss wagon If the value of this
product of the farm continues to increase.
Compared with last year, the reperts of the
county assessors to the State Board of
Equalisation show that In many instances
hogs have Increased In ralue more than
100 per cent during the year
Cattle also show a material Increase,
some of the counties reporting the average
assessed value fl more this year than for
190V. The reports for this year have not
yet been tabulated, but the Indications are
that the number of cattle and hogs In the
state will be reduced from the number
reported last year, though the great in
crease In the average value per head will
bring the total assessed value to a higher
valuation than last year. The assessed
value of cattle last year was 110.550.325. and
hogs $2,654,331. There were 2,619,730 cattle
returned and 1,780,683 hogs
The following table shows the average
assessed value of cattle and hogs for the
two years, 1909 and 1910:

WATER RIGHTS ON PLATTE
CAUSE OF CONTROVERSY
State Knsjlneer Simmons Sent to
North Platto to Investigate
Complaints Mad.
LINCOLN, Neb.. July 20.-(Speclal Tele;
gram.) State Engineer Simmons has been
sent to North Plotte by the state board
of Irrigation to Investigate the complaints
regarding the order of the board, shutting
down the head gates In the North Platte
river.
At this time the river Is' practically dry
and there is much complaint because of
the order of the board. Under the law,
water is apportioned according to priority
of application filed with the board and It
happens that the parties entitled to the
water are furthest down stream. Many
big farmers who live above, see the water
pass them and go down below and they
are complaining, as their crops are In
serious danger.

It Is usual to receive large consignments
from the ranses about August 1. This year,
however, the spring sewon opened early
and the early grass was good. The later
growing season has been cut short by dry
weather and pasturao-e Is hard to find. For
this reason the cattle men are sending In
their surplus that the ranees may be saved
for the cattle of the general herd. Many of
the cattle are In excellent condition Just off
the gross and It Is true at present that
few feeders are buying with the prospect
of very hPgh corn and hay for the season.
The fesr Is commonly expressed that the
corn crop will be exceedingly light In many
sections,- Under these conditions the mar
ket for western cattle has dropped off
nearly 50 cents in the last four or five
days. Fat cattle sell at fair to high prices,
but the stock which would ordinarily be
the best of feeder stuff goes much cheaper
on account of lack of demand.
The western sheep and lambs have also
found their way to the Omaha market. The
same in general Is true of the lamb trade
as of the cattle. The hog receipts for
the present week have been fair so far.
