HUMANE WORKERS TO EXTEND
THEIR ACTIVITIES.
WILL COVER THE WHOLE STATE
Hope to Secure Action by the Next
Legislature. Other Matters at
the State Caplt.il.
The Nebraska humane society was
organized at n meeting hold at the
looms of the Commercial club. C. E.
Pnyno was chairman and D. .T. Fla
herty secretary and there wore dele
gates present from Nebraska City ,
Hastings and Lincoln. The objects
of the society are to encourage the
organization of local societies
throughout the state , promote hu
manitarian work and ultimately to
secure the establishment of a state
humane bureau.
It was stated that Nebraska is far
1 behind all other states of the union in
woik of. this character ; that , there Is
expended annually in the various
states between $5,000,000 and $6,000-
000 for humane work and that the
state of Nebraska has never appropri
ated a dollar in this cause. At the
last session of the legislature a bill
was introduced for the purpose of
establishing such a department , but
those back of It were unable to got It
through to final passage. It Is hoped
that with a state organization to lend
Its influence , better success may at
tend the efforts to be put forth at the
coming session.
There are now local humane so
cieties at Omaha , Lincoln , Nebraska
City , Fremont , Hastings and Lexing
ton and all of them are said to bo In
nourishing condition. The promoters
of the meeting hope before many
months to have locals In practically
every county In the state.
A constitution and by-laws pat
terned after those suggested by the
national organization were adopted at
the meeting and a board of directors
was chosen. This board consists of
nine members , the governor , state
superintendent of public Instruction ,
deputy commissioner of labor and
chief clerk to the bureau of charities
s
and corrections , being ox-olficlo mem
bers. The other members chosen
were A. .T. Sawyer , Lincoln ; Rev.
John Williams , Omaha ; John C. "Wat
son , Nebraska City ; C. E. Abbott ,
Fremont , and E. P. Olmstead , Has
tings.

tion of the statements of banks at

Want German in Grade School.
An agitation has been started in
Lincoln for the Introduction of a
course in German in the grade
schools. Superintendent Stephens has
expressed himself as believing the
time has arrived when this should be
done , and many others are urging fa
vorable action upon the school board.
Banquet by Italians.
Italians of Lincoln will give an
elabrate banquet at the Llndell hotel
on the night of October 10. It will Le
the second obeservance In memory of
Christopher Columbus.
Delinquent Taxes.
County Treasurer William Me-
Laughltn and his olllce force have
completed the compilation of the list
of property to be sold for delinquent
taxes. Over 4,000 pieces of property
have been Included in the list of ad-
vertlLcd tax sales. This Is much
heavier than last year , but as the list
does not go to tke printer until the
end of the month the tax collections
may cut the list down considerably.
Oil Inspector Returns.
Arthur Mullen , state oil Inspector ,
turned in a record-breaking check to
the state treasurer. The net receipts
of the oil office for the month of
August were $2,390.91. In addition to
Inspecting oil , to bring in this amount
of fees , the expenses of the office
amounting to $1,300 , were paid.
The Miles Will Case.
After many years of litigation
Joseph II. Miles has won In the Miles
will case. The supreme court af
firmed the Judgment of the district
court of Hichardson county , which
was In his favor.
Niwcpaper Loses Out.
In the supreme court the motion of
the Omaha Daily News to recall the
mandate of the court in the case of
Dennison against the Daily News
Publishing company was denied. Don-
nlson sued the News Publishing com
pany for libel and was awarded dam
ages. The case was taken to the supreme
premo court and remanded for a rr-
trial. On the second hearing Dennl-
BOH again was given a verdict , and on
appeal the supreme court affirmed
the findings In the lower court. The
Newa will now have to pay.
STATE PRIMARY LAW ,
t
There Is Much Opposition to the
Enactment.
Nearly everyone around the state
house Is talking about the state wide
primary law under which the present
candidates for offices were nominat
ed , and so far there is not a state of
ficer who has one word of commen
dation for the present measure.
Attorney General Thompson re
ferred to it as a "monstrosity , " while
Governor Shullenberger has repeated
ly condemned It , saying on one occa
sion that he should have recommend
ed that It be repealed by the late leg
islature.
Other state olllcers , including those
who were nominated under it , have
expressed themselves as have the
two officers mentioned. Some Insist
that the law should be repealed in its
entirety , while others believe that
the return to the old convention , sys-
tern should bo by degrees and very
gradual.
Secretary of State Junkln Is of the
opinion this legislature should amend
the law so that It does not apply to
candidates for state olllces , but that
delegates to a nominating convention
may bo selected at a primary and
that other than candidates for state
offices be nominated as at present.
It Is his opinion that the legislature
will.not consent to repeal the law In
Its entirety , but that it will take i\\t \ >
llrst steps which are to llnally result.
In doing away with it.
State officers realize that It will bo
a hard matter to repeal the law for
the reason that those who have been
nominated under Its provisions and
elected to. the legislature have no
very great protest to make at its
operation. Hut on the other hand
there will be many members of the
legislature who spent sleepless nights
worrying over a nomination duo to
the wiping out of party lines in the
late election , who otherwise would
have had little cause to worry. These
will insist on a change.
Augurs Good Conditions.
Not a single chattel -mortgage up
on stock bought for feeding purposes
has been filed in the office of the
clerk of Lancaster county for several
months , a fact which is regarded as
significant. Years ago as the time
for feeding approached the clerk's of
fice would be deluged with mortgages
of this character , most of them run
ning to the live stock commission
firms at South Omaha and other
market points. Of late years , how
ever , there has been a gradual falling
off , and this year , as before stated
not one such evidence of indebted
ness has been filed.
Report Blanks Sent Out.
The state Railway commission sent
out the forms for the annual reports
of the railroads of the state. Under
the law these reports are to be filed
with the commission before August 1 ,
but the delay cannot bo charged to
the railroads , because the lorms were
not sent out promptly.
Declines the Nomination.
Governor Shallenborgcr's official
declination of the populist nomina
tion , filed with the secretary of state ,
removes him from the list of possible
candidates this fall. The governor
asserted that ho would not run on the
populist ticket or by petition unless
lie llrst had the democratic nomina
tion.
Well Supplied With Teachers.
According to reports so far re
ceived at the office of the state super
intendent , there are not many school
districts in the state that are without
teachers. So far , ca.-s for teachers
have been received from only two
counties.
Named for State Senator.
The populist committee of the
Twenty-ninth senatorial district has
named George Sayer as the candi
date of the party In that district. Ho
Is also the democratic nominee.
Krause Admitted to Bail.
The supreme court has suspended
the sentence of John H. Krause of
Sheridan county , who was convicted
of shooting at William Klien with in
tent to kill. Krause was sentenced to
serve five years in the penitentiary.
The supreme court has fixed his bai )
bond at ? 3,500.
School Attendance.
While Lincoln people are waiting
to hear the government report of the
census of Lincoln , even the attend
ance at the city school furnishes no
geol clue to the growth of the city ,
as the attendance for the llrst week
is never a good indication of what the
attendance will bo at the end of the
first month. Ordinarily the attend
ance at the end of the first month Is
nearly a thousand more than the at
tendance during the first week.
Suprintendent Stephens says there
has been a good increase in the at
tendance , but as figures on attend
ance of the first weeks are not
available back ri last year , no good
basis of comparison can yet be
found.
Guard Cannot Accept.
Adjutant General Hartington has
decided that It Is not possible for the
national guard to attend the Ak-Sar-
Hen festivities this fall In a body ow.

Soldier Victim of Rare Affliction
PORTLAND , Ore. Sojourning here
the last several weeks has been a
man who has attracted widespread at
tention In medical circles. Ho Is
Thomas P. Dunn , n native of Mon
tana , who , as a member of the First
Montana volunteers In the Spanish-
American war , was shot through the
head at Caloocan In the Philippines
more than twelve years ago and Is
alive to tell of it today.
When Dunn fell wounded on the
battlefield of Cnloocan ho was car
ried to the ward where the fatally
injured were placed and no'one paid
any attention to him for two days , as
there were too many other wounded
whom the physicians and surgeons in
charge believed had better chances
for recovery. At the end of two days ,
during which the Montana boy lay
practically without attention , the sur
geon In charge remarked upon his
vitality and decided to try to snvo his
life.
life.A
A Mauser bullet had entered the
left side of his head just above the
tcmplo and emerged from the right
side Just below the temple , a wound
that had previously proved fatal as
far as any of the medical men who
have examined Dunn ever heard.
His remarkable recovery and the
fact that ho retains his reason are
the most remarkable features of this
case. While ho Is alive , In good
health and able to walk around the
streets and converse with his friends
and acquaintances , Dunn Is handi
capped by the loss of all sense ol
smell or taste and has lost the sight
of his right eye. Despite these nf
illrllons lie bears his lot with forti
tude. Ho cannot enjoy a meal , for no
matter what choice viands ho may or
der , ho cannot relish thorn any more
than ho would hardtack and salt pork
The loss of the sense of taste he
looks upon aa his worst affliction.

his friends , Is a ward of the govern
ment , though not of his own choosing
for ho has relatives and Infiuentla
friends who take care of him and lool
after bin comfort at all times. Hi !
Impaired eyesight has proved an ob
ctaclo toward his securing employ

dreads because of his afflictions. lilt
only amusement Is to Join several con
genial companions and toll atories ol
past experiences , or to take street cai
rides or journeys through the country
in automobiles. Ho cannot go to the
theater , being handicapped by partial
blindness and fearful lest the glare ol
the lights shall impair the sight ol

oman Laughs Her Jaw Out of Joint
NRW YORK. Tec-hec-hee ! Haw-

Mrs. Cecilia Goldberg's birthday par
ty was an enjoyable occasion up to
this point , or , to be exact , until she
dislocated her jaw laughing at nor
mistake in kissing the wrong man.
The occasion was the eighteenth an
niversary of Mrs. Goldberg's arrival in
.Harlem , where she has since become
duly popular In her set. She Is a
pretty young woman , and her parents
invited all their friends and relatives
to como around and celebrate.
They caino by the dozens , and It
waa ono of those "a-gorgeous-timc was-
had-by-all" affairs. The tables groaned
with good things to cat , and there
was a decorous but all sufficient damp
ness out In the vicinity of the ice box.
Along about midnight , when the young
folks began thinking of going home ,
some on suggested that "blind man's
buff" was n good game to taper off
with. The music was stopped and I
Mrs. Goldberg was chosen as the firs !
to be the blind one.
She was blindfolded and led Into
the parlor. She wan entitled to kiss
any man she could catch , and she
supposed that .lim , her husband , would
bo on the job and nee that ho was
caught. Dut a young man named Har
ry was caught by Mrs. Goldberg and
was kissed. Jim was just a second
too late. Then they pulled the blind
fold off and Mrs. Goldberg saw whom
she had kissed.
The crowd combined in a roar of
glee and Mrs. Goldberg graciously
joined In the laughter. Hut uho over
exerted herself. In the midst of an
unusually loud "Ha-ha ! " she grabber
her Jaws and began to dnnco about
the room. She gasped and groaned ,
and Policeman Mott , rushing upstairs ,
found the company in confusion and
hysteria. Mrs. Goldberg seemed uu-
able to close her mouth , and nobody
could hold her long enough to close It
for her. A policeman gave all the
first aid ho could muster without re
sult , so he called a doctor from the
Harlem hospital. The doctor made a
hasty examination and diagnosed the
trouble as a dislocated jaw. lie final
ly succeeded In getting it back in

Day Spent in Circus Beats School
qPRINGFIELD , Mo. "No session of
LJ the public schools of Springfield
after ton o'clock a. in. on circus day. "
This edict from the office of Prof.
Jonathan Fairbanks , life-long educator
and for 3G years superintendent of the
public schools of Springfield , brought
Joy to the hearts of 9,000 school chil
dren , for it meant that at ten o'clock
on the morning of circus days the
city schools closed for the day.
"A circus Is something every child
ought to sco , " Superintendent Fair
banks said , in explaining his orders ,
"for it Is a veritable education in it
self. You can see for a small aum
attractions that have been grouped to
gether at a cost of hundreds of thou

cost largo sums to see outside a cir

No Missionary Cash for the Indian
MUSKOGEE , Oltla. The Mothodlet
church in Oklahoma has decided
upon a now policy relative to religious
work among the Indians. At a moot
ing here of the executive board of
the church it was decided to combine
all of the five civilized tribes , Creeks ,
Cherokees , Chlckasaws , Choctnws and
Bemlnolos , in ono district , under the
supervision of ono presiding elder , and
to rcqulro the Indiana to support their
own pastors without the aid of for
eign missionary money.
It was also decided to request the
bishop to transfer every English
Hpoaking congregation of Indians to
Homo white charge. This IB for the
purpose of getting the Indians under
a white pastor In order that educa
tional as well as religious work may
bo carried on. The old idea of teach
ing a white missionary to Bpeak the
Indian tongue and sending him among
the Indians to preach in their own
language is to bo abandoned.
It was pointed out that , under the
state government , the Indian and the
white man are the same socially and
politically , that the state schools are
being extended into every Indian set
tlement , and that the Indian children
everywhere are being taught English
It is expected that other rc-llg.ous
