HANSEN, EISIIKFS ACTION A, C. llittenbender, Who Received Two Votes for Attorney General, Files Declination Stella i May Get Sew Depot. (From a Staff Correspondent.) I LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 19.-(Special.)- Ture Food Commissioner Hansen is not ( feeling very good natured this morning. , He says that last spring he with other tried and true republicans, signed a peti tion asking that the name of P. F. Zim- mer be placed upon he ballot as a re rner be placed upon the ballot as a re representative. Mr. Zimmer was defeated for the republican nomination, but enough t populists wrote in his name so that he .was declared the populist candidate for that position. Mr. Hansen claims now that Mr. Zimmer is using the petition signed by himself and about eighty other , republicans to boost himself into the legislature as a populist or independent. Mr. Zimmer is also sending out a circu lar letter in which he says that he doesn't care who Is elected president, and this in the minds of some does not entitle him to the vote of any man who does care who is elected. Bittenbender Declines. A. C Bittenbender, who received two votes for the nomination as prohibition candidate for attorney general and there fore won, has filed his or her declination and refuses to stand for election. Whether this Is Ada M. Bittenbender, who lias numerous times run for numerous offices on the prohibition state ticket, or some other person the papers in the case do not disclose.

Nebraska Leads. W. R. Mellor, secretary of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, has the fol lowing to say of Nebraska: The census figures reveal some striking facts about agricultural progress in Ne braska. During the lust decade Nebraska has leaped to fourth in rank in the total amount! of farm property, now being ex ceeded only by Illinois, Iowa and Texas. In its per capita wealth for the people resident on the farms Nebraska is now second In rank, being led onlv bv Iowa, which has $2,425 per capita, ' while Ne braska has 2,360. When compared with other states, Nebraska s farm wealth as sumes astounding proportions. The per capita wealth of the people on the farm in the United States as a whole is 1830; for the great geograplileal sub divisions of the country it is as follows: New, England, $780; middle Atlantic, $529; east north central, $1,172; west north cen tral, $1,743; south Atlantic, $324; east south central, $562; mountain states, $1,042; Pa cific states, $1,636; Nebraska, $2,360. As compared with the corn-belt states Nebraska farmers have $1,465 more per capita than those of Ohio,. $664 more than Illinois, u8 more than Indiana, $1,033 more than Missouri, and more than twice as much as the farmers of Kansas," who can count but $1,775 per capita, according to me census. Nebraska farmers now have more prop erty than those of all New England with the addition of New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia; during the last ten years Nebraska farmers have Increased their wealth 119 per cent more than those of Ohio, 3 per cent more than those of In diana, 83 per cent more than Illinois, 121 per cent more than Michigan, 101 per cent more than Wisconsin, 90 per cent more than Minnesota, 76 per cent more than Iowa, 80 per cent more than Missouri and 42 per cent more than Kansas. The census bureau figures the popu lation of all towns under 2,500 as "rural population;" excluding the population of the small towns, Nebraska had 623,408 people on its farms in 1910; the per capita weaitn of these people actually on the farms of Nebraska Is $3,000. or $18,000 per family of five persons. This is $11,410 per family more than the average wealth of the United Stutes. The accomplishment of this stupendous result by a little over 300,000 people on the farms of Nebraska is a veritable mar vel. The soil of Nebraska Is a great reservoir of fertility; the average valua tion of farm land is less than $50 per acre, why should farmers leave Nebraska foi Canada, the northwest or southwest in search of opportunity?
