LINCOLN, July ll.-(Speclal.)-Llncoln
lemocrats do not take much stock in
the . rumor that certain Influences will
be behind a scheme to "steam roller"
W. J. Bryan at the Grand Island con
vention. "Of course," said a prominent
democrat this morning, "we seem to
have a faculty , sometimes just when
things seem to be coming our way of
making chumps of ourselves by doing
the wrong thing, but I don't think we
will go so far as to run the roller
over Bryan. Bryan Is the big show just
now and Nebraska democrats ought to
have sense enough to see It"
Notwithstanding this, one .thing j3 evi
dent that the Clark men are not feeling
exactly cordial toward the commoner,
As one man puts It: "We instructed Mr.
Bryan to support Mr. Clark, yet he is
claiming all the glory for leading the
charge which put him over the ropes."
Brother Charlie of the Bryan family
contends that no one but the managers
of Champ Clark are, to blame for the
defeat of Mr. Clark. "When Bryan In
troduced the resolution that the con
vention support no candidate who had
been backing the Morgan-Murphy-Bel-mont-Bryan
crowd," said C. W. Bryan
this morning, "and that resolution
passed, there was nothing else for pro
gressive delegates to do but oppose Mr.
Clark or any. other man who had the
reactionary support, for their selection
would have meant the turning over of
the democratic party to the reactionary
element In the party."
- Dr. Huston Cleared.
At a meeting of the State Board of
Health . this morning the complaint
against Dr. I. N. Huston of Falls City
that he was an excessive user of drugs
and, Intoxicants and that he performed
an lll-advlsed operation upon the wife
of . the complainant, . Mrs. Bunch,' was
dismissed. The complaining witness
did not - appear, sending word to the
board that he was too poor to afford
the expense. - It Is claimed that Dr.
Huston' attempted to perform an opera
tion upon Mrs. Bunch for a tumor, but
after making the incision, be discovered
that the woman was about to become a
mother. He sewed up the wound and
later the child was born and is now

: Order In Lexington Case.
The railway commission has refused
to issue an order against the Union
Pacific railway in the Lexington mat
ter In which citizens of the town com
plained against the company, taking on
and discharging passengers on the second
track from the depot, which would com
pel" them to cross the first track to get
to the depot The citizens, among other
things, asked that if no other change
was made, ; that the company be required
to erect a shelter of some sort for those
passengers; compelled to, stand on the
outside of the second track. The com
mission, however, made an order that
the railway company should have some
system , whereby the' passengers could

' ; Korrla Will Attend.
"George W. Norris will attend the
state republican convention," says F. P.
Corrick, secretary of the progressive re
publican league. He has received several
Invitations to attend county conventions,
but will not leave Washington until a
few days before the convention meets
In Lincoln.
The cattle Arm of Richards, Bartlett

paid was J100 for one of the eleven.
Effect of Amendment.
' Several of the sheriffs attending the
state meeting here yesterday were very
much lntrested In what the effect of the
new constitutional amendment would
have on them if It passed. They were
told that officials who are elected for
term of two years in 1913 will get
only a one-year term unless they run
again In 1914. Sheriff Condit of Dodge
county, who called on the attorney gen
eral to see about the matter, said that
the sheriffs do not like the amendment
and would not have voted for It at the
primary had they understood It that
way.
Aaka Husband's Parole.
Mrs. Mary Hamman of Cheyenne
county called at the governor's office
yesterday for the purpose of securing
a pardon for her husband, who Is serv

criminal assault upon his 16-year-old
stepdughter. She was accompanied
by her three children and could not
talk English. Chief Clerk Flegenbaum
talked with her In German and informed
her that as her husband had not served
one year, he would be ineligible for
pardon. The woman is in destitute circumstances.

GRAY HAIR VS. BROWH HAIR
This Simple Home Made Mixture Ef
fectually Darken the
White Locks.
There Is no excuse for having gray hair
when there is a sure and easy wav of
darkening It to a nice natural brown
which Nature herself could not Improve
upon, rnis aoes noi mean mat you are
justified in using the ordinary sticky
dyes, .and stains exploited for that pur
Dose, for they often are too objection
able to' be recommended; but there is a
really meritorious recipe, very simple
and inexpensive, which all gray-haired
people should try at once. To 7 ozs. of
water add one small box of Barb Com
pound, 1 oz. bay rum and os. glycer
ine. Tou can readily prepare this at
home at very little cost and tt will give
you a splendid mixture for gradually
darkening the gray hair, as well as for
removing dandruff, ridding the scalp of
other humors and for promoting the
growth of the hair.- Apply it once a week
until the hair is of the desired dark
shade, then once every two weeks will
be sufficient Make sure your druggist
gives you Barbo Compound. If he hasn't
it on hand, ask him to order it for you.
Texas Progressives
Without Standing
HOUSTON, Tex., July U.-Accordlng
to the view of National Committeeman
H. F. MacGreggor, of Houston, Tex.,
member of the republican national com
mittee, those who are organizing In this
state the progressive party have no
status in a republican primary.
"I believe" he said in a statement
issued today, "that the majority of the
men who attended the Roosevelt con
ference in Dallas Tuesday will not un
dertake to participate in a republican
presidential primary unless they Intend
to vote the republican , ticket, and if
they should undertake to participate.
they could be properly excluded."

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, July . ll.-(Special.-Loula
V. Guye, deputy labor commissioner,
after a personal investigation of the
lands open to homestead entry in Ne
braska, has issued the following circular
letter, which is being sent out to all
who have made inquiry regarding the
matter of homesteads:
In reply I wish to sav that mv delay
in answering has been caused owing to
the fact that I have been making a
personal Investigation of the entire dis
trict having lands open to homestead
entry. I have pursued this plan as the
means of furnishing, to those Interested
in taking up lands, reliable information
based upon actual observations.
Generally speaking, I find this land
to be quite sandy, well adapted to
stock raising, dairying and poultry rais- j
ing with the valleys fairly good farm
ing lands, especially for the root crops,
potatoes, etc.
The majority of the land Is under fence,
being used as range by the large ranches.
The land yet open , to settlement is
equally as good as that which Is taken,
but, naturally, it is farther from the
railroads, ranging from five to twenty
five miles. Each claim, which con
sists of 640 acres, is capable of caring for
from fifty to 100 head of stock. The
rancher very readily leases all land, not
pastured by the homesteader, paying
about 2&c per acre per year. Deeded sec
tions are selling for $2,000 to $4,000.
Rural mail delivery and telephone lines
extend In all directions. Schools are
rarely found outside of the small towns,
and I would advise only that class to
make settlements who have no children
of the school age, or who may be able
to place their children in the town
schools.
The climate is very healthful-; water
good; an lnexhausible supply being
found at from ten to fifty feet Cattle
and horses live on the range the entire
year round without shelter or food, al
though, in my judgment, such is neces
sary as a guarantee of perpetual suc
cess. As a class the homesteaders of this sec
tion appear to be exceptionally prosper
ous, their success being obtained with but
slight effort The ranchers as a rule
seem to be very willing to assist the earn
est nomesieaaer in matting a success Dy
selling him stock on time, etc. One should
be possessed of a few hundred dollars to
invest in stock as a means of assuring
success, otherwise help will be necessary
or his progress will be slow.
The chief drawback to the pioneer life
in the sandhill country under the Kin
kald law is its monotony, isolation and
desolation made certain owing to. the
fact that the minimum sized farm Is 640
acres, which places neighbors one mile
apart. To those who can adjust them
selves to the conditions of pioneer life I
can cheerfully recommend this country as
affording opportunities never again to be
secured under the homestead laws of this
or other states.
In stating my judgment upon this in
vestigation I have attempted to touch
upon the material features in an unbiased
manner so as to forestall disappointment
and expense to those who may be so
situated as to make it Impossible to avail
themselves of the opportunities afforded.
On the other hand, that I may assist
those who may be in a position to avail
themselves of the homestead rights in
securing homestead, thus assisting in
placing In the productive class 1,000,000
acres of Nebraska's Idle acreage and
placing upon the tax role an additional
1.000,000 acres for taxation.
Seeks Special Rates.
In addition to issuing the above Mr.
Guye has taken' up the matter with the
railroads of the state with the idea of
getting special rates if It Is possible for
those who wish to Investigate and take
up homesteads. He will go to Omaha In
a few days to get a final answer on his
application to the roads to co-operate
with him In an effort to get actual settlers
on these lands. His department Is greatly
hampered for the want of funds, hardly
being able to spare sufficient to pay the
postage on the letters which are being
sent out in answer to inquiries.

General Oroico at 8 o'clock tonight
reached Villa Ahumada, eighty-three
miles south of Jaurez. He declared It
probable that he would continue to
Jaurez tonight
Though not disclosing his immediate
Intentions, General Orozco expressed
absolute confidence In the ultimate tri
umph of the revolution.
"It must be either the resignation of
Madero or the prosecution of revolution,"
he said. - "The people of the state of
Chihuahua began this revolution to win
and they will."
Every bridge and culvert on the Mex

truction thus far has been completed to
a point fifty miles north of Chihuahua
city. It will be continued to some point
a few miles south of Jaurez.
Federal cavalry are moving today
north out of Chihuahua, according to
rebel scouts. They reached Corral,
thirteen miles north of Chihuahua, at
noon today. The force numbered 1,500
men under Generals Tellez and Rabago
