(By iAof& Thomas)
Lincoln. Nebr., Janr 1 The an
nountment on Saturday that the
committee of five appointed by the
Nebraska Dry Federation to draft a
"irI to enforce the new prohibition
institutional amendment was greet
ed with much Interest by the mem
bers of the legislature who were al
ready on the ground. The newspa
pers Sunday morning published ex
cerpts from the bill, the Lincoln
State Journal being the only one to
publish the bill In complete form.
Discussion of the bill overshadow
ed the wire-pulling which has been
going on among members who are
laterested In the election of certain
candidates for speaker or who are
desirous of getting a place on certain
committees.
The writer found many of the leg
islators who believed the bill was too
rustic and that it would re-act and
bring about a movement toallow the
sale of liquor. Others stated that
they believed the bill as drawn up to
be O. K.,.and expressed themselves
as being in f avor of it.

The organisation of the Alliance

porfectod at a meeting held with the
county agent in tho assembly room
at the Box Butte county court houao
r rlday nfternoou. Tho meeting was
attended by some twenty farmers of
this section who are either interested
In the Federal Farm Loan Act or who
desire to take advantage of the oppor
tunity afforded and borrow money
from the Federal Land B;ink for this
section which Is to bo located at Om

The Alllntue National Farm Loan
Association will take care of the
want or ull farmers In Box Butto
county and adjoining territory. There
Is no limit to the territory which ona
association may serve, convenience
being the only element that ei)Jcus
Into It. Thus the Allla.ieo associa
tion will serve Box Butte county and
the territory surrounding It, so that a
farmer who lives over the line may
affiliate with the Alliance cssoclatloa
If he wishes and it is convenient for
him to do so. . This provision makes
It possible for those living In terri
tory outside of Box Butto county
where an association, which requires
ten members, may not have been
formed or wher It may not be con
venient to organise, to become a mera
ber of the Alliance association. The
articles of association drawn up at
the meeting held Friday stipulate
that the association Is organized to
do business in Box Butto and adjoin
ing territory. Anyone who desires
to borrow through the Federal Land
Banks must afffliato with this or a
similar organization.
To Make Improvements
About $40,090 in loans were ap
plied for at the meeting held hero
Friday. The money when received
will be used tn paying off mortgages.

Had Been tjoiiig Together
Bessie Nelson, daughter, said that
Stearns had been going with the mo
ther for about ten months. Her mo
ther apparently thought a good deal
of Stearns. She had never heard
her mention anything relative to
marrying him. She also asserted
that the mother bad told of Stearns'
nvfterate jealousy and had made
frequent protests as to the mother's
having anything to do witn ner ror
mer husband, who was In Lincoln
Saturday afternoon, and with the
mother visited the daughter, at me
State Ortheopedic hospital. tne
daughter believed that the tragedy
was the culmination of the Saturday
visit.
The dauKhter said her mother s
parents lived in Edgemont, S. D.. al
so divorced, and that her mother had
paid a visit to them in September.
Nelson Was to Marry
I cannot understand it," the
dauKhter said. "Everything seemed

and with mamma came out to see me
Saturday afternoon. He said he was
eoinr to marry an Alliance woman
this week and was going on a honey
moon trip to California. He bought
ine a coat and dress for Christmas.
When asked if the father bad ev
er broached the subject of remarri
age with the mother, the daughter
said she did not believe that he ever
had. . So fnr as she knew there had
been no tuch intention.
"My parents have been divorced
about three years. Mother has al
ways received alimony from papa.
For the first year after the parting
of my parents I stayed with mamma
then I came here. Papa wrote to me
quite often and seemed to be inter
