December was the stillest month for many a moon, in not along the city, but the small town has suffered along with larger ones. Mr. R. M. Coatman. who is a good judge of the time and keeps a very close eye on the business pulse of the country, said that December was about the most quiet time he has ever exper ienced for many a year, but that he in the city win prove mucn more pleasant to the family.

The surface of the body showed burnB. Smith slept alone in his home last night, his wife being sick and cared for at the home of a daughter. Mrs. Ike Stransberry, in another part of Superior. It appears that the man went to a cob 6hed at the rear of his home this morning for fuel to kindle a fire. Kerosene was stored in a five gallon can in the shed and drawn out in a tin can. Some of the liquid was found in the overturned tin near the dead body. It Is possible that the kerosene Ignited from his pipe, which was found near the body.

BERNARD GRAN' Chicago, Jan; S. Bernard Grant was given another lease on life to day. Grant was under sentence to hang January 16. Governor Len Small granted a reprieve to April 17. The case of Grant came to notice when Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, slayers of a little boy escaped with a life sentence. Grant killed policeman in a holdup. A monster petition was sent the governor asking his life-be spared and pointed out that while Leopold and Loeb, rich youths, escaped the gallows. Grant, a poor boy, was being sent to his doom without a legal chance. Governor Small is expected to take final action on the petition after the supreme court has decided the case of Walter Kruse, Grant's confederate who is also under sentence to death The supreme court affirmed Grant's sentence. SOVIET CHIEFS GRANT PEASANTS MORE POWER Moscow. Jan. 8. At an important conference now in progress at the Kremlin between soviet officials and representatives of the peasantry looking to a more complete soviet! zation of the villages wider applica tion of bolshevism and greater priv ileges and justice to peasants, it was decided to give the peasantry a more active part in Russian elections, per mltting them to name their own can didates as opposed to purely com munistic candidates. The socalled new economic policy was a step in thij! direction, but to day's action is said to involve wider concession to the agrarian popula tion than afiy heretofore granted. It presages, many belive, a distinct de parture of the government from the strict principles of the doctrine of bolshevism which have hitherto been in force.

Lincoln. Jan. 9. Contractors working on state highways were paid at least $250,000- more than their original contracts called for, evidence in the hands of former nroverncr Bryan indicates, it was learned today. Thin evidence was gathered by federal and states investigators work ing over a period of many months. It is supplemented by affidavits of road engineers. Former Covcrnor Bryan, in his message to the state legislature Thursday afternoon, charged that the ftate had lost upwards of $100, 000 through irregularities and "fals ification of records" in the highway department lie said the alleged irregularities occurred under a previous adminiB tration when S. R. McKelvie, Lin coln, was governor. Awaited Probe Ends Today Bryan confirmed , reports that the loss to the state might pass the $250,000 mark. "I did not make the charges pub lie before." he said, "because I was waiting for liie investigation to be completed, the evidence all gathered. and alo to give the federal authori ties an opportunity to act. "Another rrason for my including this matter in riy message to the legislature is that twice that body or its committees have 'white washed' the highway department. I wanted the legislature to have some thing before it this time that could not be wiped up by the application of a bucket cf kalsomine." The ex-govrrnor admitted he has not laid all l is cards on the table. ITe hss in his possession a mass of documents, exhibits and affidavits, w hich he says prove the truth of all his charges. Under Federal Quiz It became known today that fed eral engineers and attorneys from Washington have been in Nebraska for months during the last two years investigating the state highway de partment. As p remit of their investigation nnd report to the federal road de ortmcnt, (ho federal government l;as demanded that the state refund t- deral ?!d money spent on two pro cots and is still investigating other projects, all built -before the Brvan dminisiration, it is asserted. It also was learned today that one of the prineipni item on the list of alleged irregularities is the so-called Cherry county road project. This rorid. several miles long, was supposed to he a clay road. Contract for grading and leveling it was let by the state for ?1 a cubic yard. The contract was sub-let for 75 centJi a cubic yard. Specifications Changed Investigation bv federal and state authorities is paid to have revealed that after the road had been con- iuo specifications were changed so as to call for a "rock rond" iNid the work paid for at the rate cf ??.50 a cubuc vard. Governor Adam McMullen. who deviated from his prepared inaugur al address Thursday to refer to Bry an's charges against former highway department officials, said he would not "whitewash" anrone. I was surprised." said McMullen to Bryan, "to hear you charge Irreg ularities in the highway department that if true must have occurred more than two years ago.
