News from Over the State I
StnrtM IutcrcMtlnK AitHntlon.
Tho fact that four state house young
women with their escorts and a few
of their friends went to the senate
chamber one evening last week and
danced for awhile, and the further fact
that Gov. Mickey has been quoted as
iftelng opposed to dancing, has Btarted
an anti-dancing crusade that might re
quire the mllltla to suppress and may
possibly result In declarations In tho
platforms of the two parties next year,
having planks reading, "To dunce or
not. to dance, that Is the question."
The dance that caused tho commotion
was Indulged In by four of tho women,
who, with their escorts and a few
friends, took advantage of the presence
of a piano In the building left by a
lodge. It was the next day that Gov.
Mickey gave out an anti-dance Inter
view, before he even knew that tho
state house girls had their dance. Tins
fact of the matter Is the governor has
no more to do with tho senate chamber
than anyone else In the building and he
never at any time tried to prevent
dances there, and ho couldn't If he
wanted to. The building Is in tho solo
charge of the board of public lands
and buildings and It is this board that
has the power to let the girls have their
dances, and no ono else. Gov. Mlrfkoy
has repeatedly said that it was none
of his business if others cared to dance
and further that he did not object to
anyone dancing who wished, though ho
does not approve of dancing. In the
meantime that private dance in the
senate chamber and Its subsequent
publication threatens to become a na
tional incident and Adjt. Gen. Culver Is
getting the mllltla In shape to answer
a call at a moment's notice to stop tho
riots that are imminent because all
the state house girls wero not invited.
MfiNonlu Home Dedicated.
The Nebraska Masonic homo at
Plattsmoutji was formally opened Sat
urday and received its first resident at
tho same time. The formal dedication
of the building will take place in June
at the session of the grand lodge. Tho
house as now arranged contains 19
rooms for the use of the Inmates, tho
largest number of which are ready for
occupancy, with accommodations at
the present time for 16' and ultimate
room for about 40. Tho building stands
back from the street, In the northwest
ern part of town, in one of the most
sightly and salubrious locations in the
city. It is the intention of the associa
tion to permit lodges of the state and
individuals to furnish rooms in tho
building, the rooms thus furnished to
be known by tho names of the donors.
At tho present time five of the rooms
are thus furnished and. two more were
taken Saturday provlous to tho opening
ceremonies.
Crops for lHO.'t.
A recent statistical report says tho
corn crop of Nebraska for 1903 will ag
gregate 213,097,572 bushels, or about
11,000,000 bushels less than last year.
Of wheat there are 38,012,151 bush
els as compared with 60,210.635 bushel3
In 1902.
Tho oats crop is 3,000,000 bushels In
excess of last year. Potatoes suffered
from the wet season, too, and the yield
was far from being up to the average.
Tho growth was good, but the cold,
dark, damp days during the ripening
period prevented tho crop from matur
ing, thus reducing tho yield. Only the
late planted potatoes gave anything
like the yield that is usually expected
from this crop. Play and alfalfa suf
fered from tho same cause; growth was
splendid, but ripening was retarded by
tho rains.

Nebraska postmasters in session at
Lincoln organized a state association

"fiend me to prison if you dare. I will
got oven with you if you do, even if It
takes mo 1.000 years. This country will
not ahvay3 ho run by rich dogs." When

Continuing, he says: "I did not

I am led to believe now that It was

may have strained my back.
"I was constantly growing worse," he
continues, "and I became very much
alarmed about my condition. I knew
that something had to be dono or serious

a specialist hero in Sherman, and under

Then he relates how the doctor told
