In accordance wiih the request of
Aiioiriey General tJriggs the judiciary
committee of the house yesterday con
sidered means of dealing with the
Xeely case and like offenses arising in
Cuba. It was finally determined that
the questions involved were of such a
far-reaching character touching ourau
thority in t'uha that it would he de
sirable t secure co-operation with the
senate and the executive branch of the
government, and a Mib-committee was
appointed -nisting of Kay, Jenkins
of Wisconsin. I.iitletield, leArmond
and Clayton of Alabama to confer with
the other branches, and report uu the
whohj subject next Tuesday.
Will It lie t l ost tuttu?
With regard to the contention that
the enactment of a law to extradite
Xeely would be retroactive, Judge Itay
taid: "As 1 understand the law it is
merely a question of procedure. Con
gress has the power to pass a law for
the extradition of persons accused of
crime in Cuba since Spain surrendered
sovereignty and the United States as
sumed the government of the island.
Such a law would not violate the the
ory of is post facto laws. It would
not. make a crime of anything not an
offense before the passage of the law.
It relates simply to procedure."
Terry Acrrrt with Kay.
Terry of Arkansas, the ranking mi
nority member of the judiciary com
mittee, sail the object of the bill was
to make it retroactive. "I think it
tan be made retroactive," said he. "A
violator of the law has no vested rights
as to the maimer iu which he shall be.
caught. A law to extradite an accused
man, in my opinion, would not come
under the inhibition against ex post
facto laws."

Sioux City, la., May l'J. Iu a case
originating in Sioux county, Crst de
cided by Judge Wakefield, of the dis
trict court, the supreme court of IoAva
has held that dogs of this state can
not lawfully bite unless they do it at
a time when the person bitten Is en
ir.nged in violating the law. Canines
have no right, according to the de
cision, to brood ove r wrongs and bite
in revenge for accumulated injuries
done them.
The lower court held that sticks and

contributing to injury and that daui
oges for suffering which might ensue
nmst be paid by the owner of the dog
This decision is reversed and a dog's

I quote from the school laws of Ne
braska, subdivision 5, section 4b: That
a district board of any school
d'strict in this state, when authorized
by a two-thirds vote of those present
at any annual or special meeting, Is
hereby empowered to make provision
for tho transportation cf pupils resid
ing within said district to any other
school whenever the distarce
from such school shall render It im
practicable for said pupils to attend
without transportation.
Section 4c. That district board.
tt-Vion n nt hnriort bv a two-thirds
vote of those present at any annual or
special meeticg, is hereby empowered
to C3ntract wiih the board of any
neighboring district for the instruction
of p'ipils residing in tho firt named
district in schools maintained by the
neighboring district, and to make pro
vision for the transportation cf said
pupils to the above named school of
the neighboring district, under tho
conditions named in the preceding sec
tion.
The plan of consolidation of schools
contemplates the uniting of two or
more school districts to bo taught by
two or more teachers as m-iy bo
needed. In a number of instances two
or moro districts lying ad j aeon t to a
village could be united with the vil
lage, the children to be hauled in
wagons to the village at public ex
pen sc.
As! plan and figure theartange-
nieiit.no increaso ol expens will occur
to the country schools, and very little.
if any, increase to the village. The
country school houso could bo closed
this year, the board pay the village
f-chool for instruciion and hire a team
to do the transporting. This will en
able the village to employ ono or moro
additional teachers, thus greatly im
proving the instruction in town and at
tho bams tirao give tho country chil
dren the advantages of a graded school
The plan can bo tried for this coming
year, and if it does not prove satisfac
tory next year we can easily return to
the old way and no additional expense
or harm will have been incurred.
In many neighborhoods and villages
parents are annually sending childret.
to schools in other towns at a cost of
from $100 to $150 per year for each
student. A good school at home would
keep this money at home, to say noth
ing about the number of young people
who could get a better education.

on time ho is loft behind, iust as he

have to walk to school. Only ono has
ever missed the bus, and he did not
miss it a second time. As a result of
this arrangement tho transported

A sore heals promptly when the blood is in good condition, but ItOVOf if it is diseased. The
tendency of these old sores and ulcers is to grow worse, spreading and eating deeper into the" flesh.
They are a constant drain upon the system, gradually but surely ruin the health and sap the very life.
A person's capacity for work or pleasure is soon lost in the great desire and search for something to cure!
8. S. S. makes a rapid and permanent cure of old sores and ulcers, and is the only medicine that
does, because no other can reach deep-seated blood troubles. Ordinary Sarsaparilla and potash mixtures
are too weak and watery to overcome a deadly poison that has taken possession of the blood. Do not
