"Insurance Commissioner Knsthnm,
nlthotigh a now mnnlii Ills department
1b showing himself no Hinull u Hector,
liaving In one day In the past week
taken In S2.HK0 from the foreign Insur
nnce companies doing business In Ne
braska. This Is u two per cent license
tax on the business tinnsautcd in thu
estate.
That the prices paid by different
counties for bridgo work vary vastly
Is shown by statistics being compiled
by State Engineer Johnson. For In
stance, In Hall county tho lowest bid
onn bridge of a certain sio was S17.50
per lliu id foot, while in Dixon county
thu lowest bid on the same kind of a
brigdc was Slft.Cli. Prior to tho pass
age of the Smith uniform bridge plans
law by the legislature of lUHi, there
wnH no way of making a comparison
of the cost of bridges. Under the
provisions of this law the cost must bel
Teported to tho state engineer, where
the figures aro uyailnblo for Inspec
tion by any citizen of the &tnte. That,
the law bus Improved condltionHthore
Ibdo question, but why there should
be so great n difference in prices Is not
apparent ou the surface. If more of
the county commissioners of tho state
would avail themselves of the Infor
mation that may now be obtained
irom tho engineer's oillco it would
.doubtless result to the deckled udvant
nge of their counties in the matter of
bridgo contract letting.
That tho state of Nebraska has not
"been securing what It should from
leases on Its common school lands, has
Irtsen an open question for somo time,
nd a few da s since an expert made
un examination of tho matter and ills
report gives tho following llgurcn:
There was l,G3nt&Gl acres of Nebraska
school bind under lease November .'10,
1014, according to the land comuils,
doner's report and the rental on these
Hands for the bieiinium closing on the
same date amounted to 9343,7.1. These
lands are located in eighty-four couti
lies and with a fair average value lis,
returned by the various county assets!
tors would show a valuation of more
Chan 813,000,000. At a 0 per cent rental
this valuation would nroduce an
me for thu common school fumt
T3B6re than four tlaies the amount
baoaght Into the statu treasury in tlM
Uat bienntuni. As a sample of tas,
Tental on tnene leases we give tha
SollowlDg figures gathered at random:
Adams county, fio acres 72; CherrJP
-oanty,GI0 acres, J0.GO; Gage county,
3G0 acres. 1104,40; Hitchcock Co., HBO

"Wheeler county, 1C0 acres, 823 4Q;

The present Hoard of Educational
"Hands and Funds, which is composed
of Governor Morehead, Secretary of
.State Pool, Attorney General Heed,
ITraosurer Hall and Lund Commls
doner Beckman, propose that in tho
Inturen much larger rental will be de
.rived from these lauds and have be
gan the work of revaluing them. As
a sample in the line of revaluation,
Secretary Pool and Commissioner
IBeckamn, during a four day trip, made
m short time ago, raised tho valuation
Tin two counties more than 17,000.00. It
is the intention of the present admin
istration to see to it that the common
'school fund get all that is coming to
Jt out of school land rentals.

Lire, Stock Market
Tha growth of Wabneba as reflected
by its vaat live stock markat at
trnaha rstids like a "best seller" af
fiction, flare's kow it has grown
nlfcla the rasmory of men yet yovng.
In 184 tbe racsipts of live stock at
South Omaha were Bach as to justify
tho belief in' a great market in the
future Compare them with 1914,
thirty years latsr:
1884 Cattlu 88,003; hog8,3,CSG;skccp
5,503; horses, 480.
1014088,817; hogs, 2,259,620; sheep,
3,ll3,f-8); horses, .'10,083.
During this thirty years the Omaha
market has received and disposed of
one hundred twenty million head of
stock of all kinds. It has kept pace
with tbe great territory for which it is
the natural trade terminal, steadily
passing its competitors until it is now
the second largest live stock market in
the world, being led only by Chicago.
The ten big packing ulants ut South
Omaha manufacture and ship over
52,000 cars of products every year,
valued at over 1115,000,000. During
this same period Nebraska has de
veloped the largest creamery and but
ter business in the world at Omaha.
From this industry nearly seven mil
Bon dollars worth of finished products
are sent to the world's markrt every
year.

Pleases Customers
C. L, Cotting reports customers
greatly pleased with the QUICIC notion
of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine,
etc., as mixed in Adler-1-ka. This
simple remedy drains tbe old foul mat
ter from the bowels so THOROUGH
that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost
ANY CASE of coustipatlon, sour or
gnssy stomach. It is so powerful that
it Is used successfully In appendicitis.
Adler-1-ka never gripes and the
INSTANT action is surprising.
