BRYAN DELEGATE
TO CONVENTION
FOR HITCHCOCK
- ,,, J
Dan V. Stephens, Primary
Winner, Says He Will Not
Follow Dictates of Rival ,
'Factions.
Fremont,' Neb., April 24. (Spe
cial.) Dan V. Stephens, successful
Bryan-slaU candidate for delegate-at-large
to the democratic national
convention, will vote for Senator
Hitchcock for president as in
structed by the Nebraska primaries,
but will oppose any attempt to com
mit the democratic partv to a pro
gram for light wines and beer. Mr.
Stephens will not supporl Mr. Bryan
on his stand for government owner
ship, nor does he stand with Bryan
on the question of making the treaty
a campaign issue.
"There has never been anv doubt
about Mr. Hitchcock getting the
vote of the Nebraska delegation at
Snn Francisco," Mr. Stephens said.
"Iwill support Mr. Hitchcock.
"I am, however, absolutely and
unalterably opposed to this plan for
light wines and beers. If adopted
it will inevitably bring the breweries
a"d the saloons back into politics
and every succeeding election that
we will have will be clouded by the
liquor issue. I am strongly against
any such proposition."
Referring to the proposal thar the
democrats declare for government
ownership of railways, Mr. Stephens
said:
"I am opposed to any form of
government ownership of railways
that has' yet been proposed. That
does not mean that I am opposed
to private control under federal su
pervision. But I have become con
vinced that no business can be
operated successfully without the
element of self-interest, and all of
the government ownership schemes
so far suggested would eliminate
this very vital thing."
Hog Shortage Is Acute in
Intermountain States
According to M. R. Murphy, gen
eral manager of the Cudahy Pack
ing company in Omaha, there is a
shortage of hogs all through the
intermountain country west of Den
ver. He said the shortage was most
apparent in Utah and Idaho, where
the supply had been greatly de
pleted by early shipments to the Pa
cific coast.
"Around Ogden and Salt Lake the
shortage of hogs has been so heavy
that the Cudahy company has been
compelled to buy several thousand
head in Nebraska to supply our
branch plant at Salt Lake," said Mr.
Murphy. "Most of these hogs were
bought at North Platte at the rate
of from 400 to 500 weekly and some
of the hogs we bought on the local
market were diverted to Salt Lake.

Auburn, Neb., April 14. (Spe
cial.) A coyote may outrun a pack
of hounds, but it is indeed a fleet-
footed wolf that can outsprint "Bill,"
Pierce, the champion hunter of the
bluff country along the Missouri
river near Peru.
Friday of this week "Bill" was
wandering through a field near
Peru when he saw a coyote disap
pear in a hole in a hill. He hurried
to the place, reached into the hole
and pulled the animal out by one of
its hind legs. He muzzled the brute
with a piece of baling wire and then
tore off strips of his shirt, which He
used as bandages to bind the coy
ote's feet. This done he reached
into the hole and pulled out a litter
of six cubs.
Captures Red Fox.
He started home with the baby
coyotes, intending to return to get
the old wolf.
One the way he saw a red fox en
ter a hole in the same hill. He"
stowed the coyote kittens away in
his pockets and went after the cubs.
He captured it, found it was also a
female and had a litter of fox cubs
in the den. and took three young
reynards out of the den.
He went on home with his prizes,
put them away in coops, and then
went back to retrieve the old coyote.
He found that the animal in spite of
its hopples, had gotten away.
"Bill returned home and got Bart
Patterson s pack of wolf houitds and
set out in chase of the escaped coy
ote. The hounds took up the scent
and were soon in full cry .with "Bill"
following them and urging the pack
on.
Dinner a La Neutrel.
They sighted the coyote, which
was heading for the hills, and the
hounds made such slow progress
that "Bill" rushed into the middle
of the pack and tried to urge them
to greater efforts. They were too
slow so he kicked the leaders out of
the way and ran ahead of the way
and ran ahead of the hounds. He
finilly ran the coyote down and
brought it home to its"-litter of hun
gry cubs in time to see to it that
they had their supper a la naturel,
as the French chefs put it.
"Bill" is now a proud man. He
has a tine start for a zoo of native
carnivora and he challenges any man
in the state to sbow a hetter display
of old and young specimens of the
Canis Fulvus and Canis Latcrans.

invest in a Growing Business
LARGER quarters being necessary to take care of our rapidly growing business, we have begun the
erection of a new home on ground which we recently purchased at the southeast corner of Thir
teenth Street and Capitol Avenue, 120x132 feet. This building is now under construction by the G. W.
Stiles Construction Co. and will be completed about July 1.
Though we have been in the mail order busi
ness but four years, we now have more than
40,000 customers, and the number is increasing
day by day. '
In making an investment there, are four
prime factors you must take into consideration,
and they are Location, Management, Profits and
Safety. We call your attention to our advan
tage in reference to each one of these four
points.
Omaha, an Ideal Location
The railroad facilities bring practically every
point in Omaha's big trade territory several
hundred miles nearer this city than Chicago.
Twenty-two lines of railroads with many
branches run out of Omaha, and only ship
ments directed to a few far western points are
transferred from original cars. The freight
. rates in and out of Omaha are lower than for
any other large market town in the United
States. With this great advantage, and with
the added advantage of quick delivery, a mail
order house can be developed in Omaha to a
volume of business equal to that of the largest house operating.
Mnnrmnr The officers ot Bradley, Merrlam' & Smith
management scarcely need an introduction to the people
of this territory. They have for over thirty years been In business
in Omaha and Council Bluffs and they enjoy a well earned reputa
tion as keen, progressive and successful business men, which is
evidenced by the fact that they have averaged 21 cash dividends for
their stockholders since they have been in business. The heads of
the various departments are specialists in iheir lines. Many of thorn
have come from responsible positions with some of the largest mail
order houses in the United States.
ITnucual Pi-nfJfe A thousand dollars Invested in Sears,
UnuSUdI rrtUUS Roebuck & Co. thirteen years aso has
today a market value of $25,000, to say nothing of the big cash divi
dends paid each year. For the last six years Montgomery Ward & Co.

Chicago, 111.. April 19. Directors

stock dividend to be paid July 15 to
stockholders of record June 15.
The company's outstanding com
mon stock now totals $75,000,000.
The new issue of $30,000,000 will
have a value in excess of $60,000,000,
as the stock Is quoted at $236 a
share.
Sears-Roebuck stock sold as low
as $20 a share in 1907, when $30,000,
000 was outstanding. With stock div
idends paid the stock now has an ag
gregate market value of $690.
the Hartman corporation and th National
Cloak & Suit Co., have made comparatively aa
good a showing.
The participating preferred stock of Brad
ley, Merriam & Smith should show even
greater value In a few years, when you consider
our rapid progress of the4ast five years.
At the rate we are growing, and with the In
creased business made possible by extra capital,
a much larger dividend percentage should be
made from now on than ever before.
