Nebraska MYSTERY IN FATE OF GAY FOREIGN BIRDS| i | Sixteen Feathered Beauties Given to Charles W. Bryan by State, but Never Reported Om. PHEASANTS AND PARTRIDGES (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Apri! 28— (Special.)— While William Jennings Bryan, sec- retary of state at Washington, is try- ing to keep this country from getting mixed up in any foreign complica- tions, his ‘brother, Charlie here in Lincoln may be called upon to ex- plain his connection with the disap- pearance of certain subjects of foreign nations, which were brought to this country at state expense and given homes at Antelope park. The were Hungarian partridges, Bng- lish pheasants, Itallan ringnecks, Chinese rheasants and several other foreign birds, Two years ago when the legislature re- fused to appropriate {unds to continue their propagation, It was up to the state to dispose of the birds in some way and #0 they were distributed In paws and sent to different parts of the state. Still State Property. The report of the state game warden under date of December 31, 104, gives a Iljst of the localities, where the birds were sent and data in the office shows to whom they were sent. They were | glven out with the understanding that they still remained state property and hat those to whom they were sent were to look after them and report to the state game warden from timo to time \ag to their wheroabouts and their con- dition, Some Were Favored Reports from different parties to whom the birds were sent show that they have been looked after and in many instances have ralsed broods of young. It is in- teresting to note that except in certan instances, the birds were sent out in Dbunches of only two or three, mostly just a pailf. Thesc instances are in the case of six birds sent to Senator Jack | Grace of Harlan county, who has taken | much interest in the birds; elght to Sen- ator George Wolz of Fremont, who was also & member of the fish and me committee and has looked after the birds closely, reporting from time to time of their condition and five to Columbus, where a gentleman by the name of Phil- lips has been watching them and re- porting on them. Sixteen to C. W. Bryan. However, the report shows that six- teen of the birds went to South Lincoln and were turned over to Charles W. Bryan. Accordimg to information given ‘today at the game warden's office, Mr. Bryan has made no report whatever on the birds nor does the game warden know what became of them. People interested in the disposal of the birds are inquir- ing today why Mr Bryan should be given sixteen birds and has not reported on their disposal when other péople could get it & padr; or, in three instances, more t! that number and be réquired to re- tt as to their condition. Inquiries Futile, The only thing that the game warden ®seéms to know about the birds is that they ‘were turned over to Mr. Bryan and were never seen abain. The game war- den_siys that nonme of the people living in ‘the vyicinity where the birds were supposed to have been liberated ever saw any of them, although the game wardn admits that he made some inquiries. He | | says Mr. Bryan got the birds before he|: took charge of th office. This will probably not cause any foreign complications or sever neutral- ity with belligerent powers, but it is llable to make a complication for Mr. Bryan in his campaign for city commis- sloner, 48 it is now up to him to explain what became of the birds. Of course no one ‘will hint that the birds were used to «ntertaln any of the great men of the na- tion who ¢ame to dine with Mr. Bryan about that time, although their plumage wasg beautiful, their songs were wonder- ful and their meat is sald to be delicious.

Golng to Officers’ School. Following instructions of the War de- rertment, Adjutent General Hall has ap- pointed the following officers of the sig- nal corps at Frémont to participate in an officers’ school at Tort Leavenworth: Captain Henry A. Jess and Lieutenants i E. Whitcomb, Elmer Lumstrum: and C. A. Robinson and Sergeant Lawrence Sachtell, M. 8. E.; S| Milan and Ser- Feant Andrew Olson. Hall Has Dandellon Cure. Rallway Commissioner Thomas Hall be- lieves he can solve the dandelion proposi- tion. The commissioner believes that it the grass is allowed to grow at will ali summer that it will kill out the yellow peril. He expains the scheme thusly: The leaves of the plant grow closely to the ground and spread out. In cutting with & lawnumower the leaves escape because of their close proximity to the earth and the only effect of cutting them is to suread the plant. If the blue grass is al- lowed to grow it will come up and push the leaves of the dandelion up in the air and in this position’the plant cannot live, UL course, the lawn will look scraggly during the summer, but the commissioner belleves that the state can &fford to have @ scraggly lawn one season if the pests can be gotten rid of. Mr. Hall has ro- Quested the governor to turn over the northeast section of the grounds between the walk to the northeast corner and” that fo the Fifteenth street entrance of the elate house to him and give him a chance to show what can be done. — MISSING MASON CITY WOMAN IS TRACED TO MONTANA ' BROKEN BOW, Neb., April 28.—(Spe- clal)—Mrs. Margareta Schmidt of Ma- son City, this county, who has been missing from her home since the first of April, has at last been traced to a point in Montana, and her family hope that they may be able to definitely lo- cate her in a short time.

ECONOMY DEPENDABILITY The Buick valve-in-head motor 1s most economical because it makes use of every bit of the fuel supplied. The fuel is vaporized properly and exploded without being diluted with part of the dead gases from the previous ex- ploson as in other type motors. Its design gives a clean cylinder for each explosion, which means the maximum in power from the minimum of fuel. The Buick valve-in-head motor is Lest for dependability for the same rea- son that it is most powerful, and for the additional reason that its design enables it to resist shocks and strains with, less {l] effect than any other type, hence its chances for getting out of order are fewer.
