THE BEE Nebraska GOVERNOR IS REAL BOSS Big Chiefs of the Party Come to Lincoln for Orders. THOMPSON AMONG Little Giant is Anxfous for Shallen. berger to HBe Candidate for Another Term-—Mayor Jim Only Stays Away. CALLERS (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 30,—(Speelal.)~Governor Shallenberger has established his right to the title of “boss” of the democratic party of the state. And unto him have come during the, last few days the erstwhile big chiefs cither 1o Ask for quarter or to get {ustruetions or to.eurry favor. Since his return from Washington the governor has been besieged with callers of high -and .Jow degree,. Following his re- fusa) to call an extra session of the legl ture the aspiring ones who were on the other side have by their presence in his office acknowledged thelr submf@on to his edicts, and his utter refusal to be used by Mr. Bryan to carry out the pet ideas of the presidential ‘candidate has scared the little fellows, who tremble at the name of Bryan into fits, Among the callers last week was W. H. Thompson, the “Little Glant,” of Grand Island, who Is' a' eandidate for United States senator. The “Little Giant” is not anxibus for the governor to be the “Giant Killer,” so0 he suggests that the governor try for his old job wgain and his friends insist that a Thompson-Shallenberger com- bination looks good. In fact it s reported that the “Edttle Glant” even went so far as to say out In Hall county that the § o'clock closing law had been a factot in the election of dembcratic county officers. Then_came the change in the date of the dernocratic dollar dinter, which had been orfgially set for February 8 All of a sudden some one asked it this date suited the governor, who was then in Washington. S0 the matter was held up in the air untl the big boss stamped his approval on Feb- ruary 14, ehanging it from the 20th, which was the second chofce of the lieutenants, Volpp Has Gélevance, Senator Fred Volpp of Scribner was an- other ‘caller, Wwho had" previously been quoted ‘as“being for Mayor Dahlman for governor. Volpp, #o his friends say, is anxious for executive approval of his con- templated announcement for state treas- urer. Volpp feels peevéd at the way the party has- treated hit. ' In ‘fact it went square back on a promise ‘that had been made him. He had ‘gonée to considerable trouble to secure a banking bill for intro- Quction into the legislature. Then when the committee decided to sidetrack it Volpp roared as oaly @ man of his sise can roar, 80 to appease his just wrath it was de- cided and made & matter of record that the bill when it came from the committee was to carry the name ‘“Volpp-Wilkon biIL” The committee gos jealous of Velpp and Wilson and each member had his own name taoked onto the bill. Al the satis- faction Volpp got was to read seventy-sight amendments prepared by Arthur Mullen and given to him by Governor Shallen- berger. © Two amendments. wiich Volpp himself offered were aftérwards defeated because they had not first been O.

T. §. Allen, brother-in-law of Mr. Bryan, was also in the list, as was P, L. Hall, though His visits are not as frequent as of yore. From Omaha there came numerous meesages from H. E, Newbranch over the telephone, . Chatlle Pool, speaker of the demogratic bunch of job hunters, marked time for quite a while before he was ushered Into the presence of the big chicf.

FIFTEEN BOGUS DEEDS FILED Someone Reaping Rich Harvest Sell- ing Buffalo County Land that Extiste N KEARNEY, Neb, Jan. %.—(Spectal)— About a year ago the registrar of deeds of Buffalo county received a bogus deed to & scetion of land that did mot exist in the cotinty fof the purpose of registering it on the records at the court house, Since that time there has been about fifteen of these some-fraudulent documents received. They are all from partles lving along the south- ern border of Ohlo and the northern border of Kentucky. In each instance they de- scribe land that could not be found on the plat of the county and they are all signed either by John Serra or John Moore with an H. B. Emerson as the notary public One party paid $6,000 for a section of land claimed to be under a government patent, when the government has never Issued & patent on more than one quarter section at a time, When the party who has been duped Is inforhed that his Instrument is worthless he invariably wants it returned. In some instances the land is traded for property. On the surface of these actions can be seen the coarse work of a J.

G. Thompson, a prominent democratic attorney and deputy under the present postmaster, is (o take the stump for Congressman Norris during the coming campaign. The republicans are divided on the question and thus far all efforts to get the congressman to state his position have apparently been in vain, The leading democrats, however, seem to be united for the present man.

Nebraska Dog Leads Way to 'Body of Man Who Killed Self Harry Hill of Hastings Commits Suicide While Despondent by Taking Chloroform. HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 30.—(Special Tele- gram.)—With loud and prolonged barking a shepherd dog late Baturday aroused Mrs. Charles E. Hill in her farm home three miles southwest of Hastings and led her to ths body of her son, Harry, aged 19, almost completely concealed under snow at the side of a straw stack about thirty rods trom the house. | Two weeks ago Harry Hill told com- panions he intended to commit suicide and pointed out the place on Thirty-two Mile creek where he sald he would enact the tfagedy. Friday night he left his home about 8 o'clock and his parents supposed he had gone t6 a nelghbor's. He was not | sqen again until the dog led the mother to the lifeless body. He killed himselt with chloroform, with which he had saturated cotton tied over his face with a wire. A cofl of rope and a shotgun near by indi- cated that he had planned three different methods to end his life. The young man left a_ note asking that his sweetheart's letters be burfed with him. The girl, who lives here, is 17 years old. Her parents objected to his attention because of her age and this caused his despondency. Harry Hill was a son of Charles E. Hill, for several years chalrman of the Adams County Board of Supervisors, and prom- Inent In the state association of county commissioners and supervisors. He was the manager of his father's cxtensive farm and was well liked In a large circle of acquaintances. Take Chamberlair's Cough Remedy when you have a cold and you will be delighted with it.

VALUE OVER BILLION A YEAR Cotton and Grain Products Semt Out of Country Shown by Five-Yea Periods—Ment Products in Blg Demand. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—(Special)—The last half century has seen a great Increase In the exports of farm products from the United Btates. From an average of $150,- 000,000 & year In the five-year period, 1851- 1655, the agricultural exports rose to an av- erage of $§75,000,000 o year In 1901-1905, and in two subsequent Indlvidual yvears (1907 and 1908) surpaesed $1,000,000,000. Not only have such exports Increased, but they have increased much faster than the population. In 1851-186 the average valuo per capita of the agricultural ex- ports of the United States was $.8, in 1001-1905 1t was $10.63, and since 196 it has been stlil greater. A report on the annual exports of farm products from the United States from. 181 to 1008, Inclusive, Is about to be published as Bulletin 75 of the bureau of statistics, United States Department of Agrieulture. Averages are given by five-year periods, s that it le possible to perceive the general arift of the trade. Cotton Big in Export Value. The chiet agricultural products exported in the last half century have been (1) cot- ton, (2) gratn amd' grain products, and ( Packing house products. In 1561-1855 cotton made nearly two-thirds of the value of all agricultural exports, but fn 1901-1%05 betweén one-third and one- half only, although the average quantity exported increased from 1,026,000,000 pounds in 1851-1865 to 3,577,000,000 potnds in 1901- 1605, while In 1007, the highest year, 4,518,- 000,000 pounds were sent out. In the period 1661-18% the quantity of eotton exports was j| only about § per cent of that for 1856-1860. Increases occurred afterward, however, un- tl in 1576-1880 the average quantity ex- ported was somewhat greater than in the period just prior to the efvil war. In quan- tity exported per oapita, the five-year period 1850-1860 was highest; there were then exported 44.8 pounds of cotton per capita. The nearest approach to this was 445 pounds per caplta In 1901-1905. Cotton- soed products, sueh as cottonseed ofl, ofl- cake and oflcake meal, have assumed con- siderable Importance In the export trade of the United States In recent years, that 18, beginning about 1876, The value of cot- tonseek products exported averaged during the last several years from $25,000000 to 320,000,000 & year, the highest being in 1907, about $34,000,000. Grailn Goes In Vast Quantities. Grain and its products come second in order of value. They Increased from a yearly average of 35,000,000 in 1351-1855 to $194,000,000 in 1901-1%6, and in 108 were 215,000,000 The chief_items are wheat (in- cluding wheat flour), corn and oats. Ex- ports of these cereals during 1861-185 were cquivalent to about 20,000,000 bushels of grain annually, ahd fifty yeers later to 250,000,000 bushels. The period of largest grain exports was 1806-1900, since which time there has been a decline. The per capita oxports of wheat and flour were largest in 1381-1565,, when they were equiva~ lent to 2.6 bushels per capita; in 1901-1906 the average exports per caplta were two bushels, and since 136 have been less than two bushels. . In com the maximumi limit was reached fn 149611900, when an average of 34 bushels pet capita was exported. Then came a downward tendency, the ex- Ports In the next five-year period being only 11 bushels per capita, and in ceeding years falling below one bushél. Compared with corn and wheat, exports of oats have been small, the largest aver- age for any five-year period belng 38,000,000 bushels a year during 1896-1500, or mome- thing more than ome-fifth the correspond- ing exports of corn or of wheat, Including flour, Our Meat Products in Demand. Bxports of packing house products, a third leading group, have Increased much cotton: or cereals, The average value of packing house products exported in 1s51- 1856 was $10,000,000 a year, and in 1901-1905 was §146,000,000. The principal items of this Broup are pork, lard, beef and oleo ofl As in the case of grain, the greatest ex- ports of lard and’ pork were In the five- year period, 1856-1%00. The exports of lard have increased nearly elght times as fast as the population of the United States, The average per capita fn 1811865 was 1.2 pounds a year, while fifty years later, in 19011906, the average reached 86 pounds per capita. Another great Increase oc- curred in per capita exports of pork. The average for 1866-1870 was 18 pounds per capita; In 1876-1880, 136 pounds per capita and In 1901-1%6, 84 pounds per capita. The largest cxports of beef and olwo ofl (those In 1901-1005) amounted to 408,000,000 pounds a year for beef and 146,000,000 pounds for oleo oll. Sthce 1906 there has been a marked decline in exports of beef, the mverage for 1906-1908 being only 349,000,900 pounds a year, or less than for any five- year period ' sirice 1886-15%. On the other hand, the average exports of oleo ofl dur- ing the three years ending with 1908 ex- cecded the average for 1301-196 by nearly 0,000,000 pounds. American Tobiteco Popular, Tobacco, which a century ago was among the most important of our exports, still holds a prominent place. Bxports of un- manufactured tobaceo have averaged since 1891-1585 more than 300,000,000 pounds a year, with an averuge vearly valuation of about $30,000,000. The per capita exports of this product doelined from 6.8 pounds in 1881 1655 to 4.1 pounds in 1901-15, while during 15001908 the average was less than four pcurds. In 1851 to $20,000,000 In 1904, and subsequently they ranged from $14,000,000 to $17,000,000, Exporta of hops have been irregular. In 1851, 110,000 pounds were exported; in 185, 4,023,600; In 1869, 278,000; in 1561, ¥836,000; 1870, 16.356,000; in IS/, 261,000, and, beginning 23,000,600 pounds.

Next Speakersi Fight, Whether or not Mr. Cannon of Illinols decides to become a candidate for re-elec- tion as speaker of the Sixty-second con- aress in the event of the republicans re taining control of the house, it Is certain that Unole Joe will have a very strenuous opposition. Although the rules which have led to the designation of the present par- llamentary methods in the house as “Can- nonism" are tho outgrowth of the rules of the first congress over which Mr. Reed presided, and, although so far s they re- late to the powers of the speaker, they were not ehanged by the congresses in which Mr. Crisp, Mr. Cariisle and Mr. Hen- derson were speakers, the insurgent fight 2galnst them has led to the common belief throughout the country that “Cannonism" means the method now in existence for the control of representative affairs In the house of representatives. The most\ ardent supporters of “‘Uncle Joe” admit that the so-cailed insurgent opposition to him is virile and widespread and many of his most earnest friends hope | that he will not permit his name to g | before the republican caucus in the next | To Continue FOUR DAYS LONGER the exhibition of riental Rugs.. house i the republicans control that body. Tawney's Lightning Rod Up. It 18, of course, to be expected that the | west, and especlally the middle west, will | make vigorous™ efforts to secure the honor | for one of its sons, and ordinarily it would | appear that James A. Tawney of Minnesota will become the most formidable candidate for the honor. If the west is to have that tmportant position Tawney will perhaps | 0 intg the contest with more strength than any other man who could be named from | the regioni west of the Mississippl. Mr. | Tawney is one of the most able and fore- | tul members of the house of representa. tives. Like ““Uncle Joe," himself, he has served for a long time on the committee of appropriations and has shown a deep seated knowledge of all affalrs relating to the conduct of the government business, Also, like “Uncle Joe,” he has fearlessly fought for conslstent reduectlons In ap- propriations for government expenses which he regarded as extravagant, and also, like hig able predecessor, he has been frequently “turned down" by the majority in the Eouse. But Mr. Tawney comes from the state of Minnerota, where Insurgentism seems to liave obtained a powerful foot- hold, and this in itself will act as a check upon his ambition to sceure the gavel which gives the holder a position second only to that of the president in the United States. ' Boom for Olmsteand. Not #ince Mr. Reed stopped down frofn the speaker's rostrum has the east fur-| nished the presiding officer for the house, and for this reason the east will probably Insist upon consideration in the next cau- cus, and when the eastern candldates are looked over Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania looms up In the foreground as by lohg odds the most formidable of the avallable ¢éandidates. Mr. Olmstead is re- garded as a parilamentarian second to nono in the lower house. He has had.long ex- perfence in congress. He has the faculty for surrounding himself with followers who will fight for him and who belleve fn him. | and he is withall without intangling alll- ances. He Is by no means objectionable to the so-called progressivists and at this | writing' it ‘would appear that if the middle | west is to be sidetracked Mr. Olmstead's | chances of succeeding to the speakership fare better than those of any other man.
