(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 30. (Special.) Labor
Commissioner Watson It sounding, a nolo
of-warnlng to all employers who come
under tho provisions ot tho child labor
Jaw. Ho proposes to begin a vigorous
campaign for tho strict enforcement of
this act and ho says that If his ultimatum
Is not promptly obeyed ho will Institute
the necessary proceedings In court to ro
covcr the fines provided.
The child labor lutv stipulates that no
child under tho ago of 14 years shall be
employed In any manufacturing, mechan
ical, Industrial or mercantile establish
ment, except during tho vacation of the
public schools, unless during tho year
preceding 3uch employment tho child has
for at least twenty wcoks attended some
public or private school where tho Eng
lish language Is taught. It Is further pro
vided that no child shall be employed even
under this condition where he falls to pre
sent a certificate signed by the president
or secretary of tho school board attesting
to Iho twenty weeks of required attend
ance. Any person who shall be convicted
of a violation of any of the provisions of
tho act shall pay for every offense a fine of
not less than KO nor more than $50.
Tho law makes It the duty of tho labor
commissioner, upon the filing of com
plaint, to Investigate supposed cases of
violation and to causo tho various provi
sions to be enforced. Labor Commissioner
Watson Is determined to do his full duty
in this respect nnd ho desires the active
nud moral support of all persons who have
nny knowledgo or suspicion of a violation
of the law. Ho has collected an nbundancc
rf tvlilence against several classes of em
ployers and If they persist In disregarding
tho act he will Invoke Judicial aid. Mr.
Watson says the complaints have been
most numerous from picking house and
department stores.
Following Is a letter Mr. Watson la
sending to all packing housee, dfpirtment
stores nnd other employers ot child labor:
Gentlemen: Knclotcd herewith you will
And ft copy of the law repainting the em
plomcnt ot children In Nebraska, and I
trust it will receive favorable consideration
nt your hnnd.
However much the "doctors may disagree
on questions relating to our national policy
of expansion, few thero must be but who
approve the prompt anil vigorous manner
In which the youth of tho Philippine Islands
nro being provided with the means of an
American education. And while the good
work Is being carried on nbroad, let us not
fort'et tho advantages which may be
oTforcd to the neglected ones at home. A
n Kcneral proposition, It may bo accepted
that It Is the duty of tho state to provide
education for Its children. Good citizenship
demands It.
Compulsory education Is no longer an ex
periment, and whtrover It has been put to
n practical test Its success has been ample
nnd satisfactory. Many objections have
tiecn urged against any system of compul
Hory oduoutlo'i, but these have proved In
effective And llttlo or no reference to them
Is r-ourtl In countries where practical laws
nre enforced; and certainly our material
nnd social condition will favorably compare
with that of other pcople'who honor such
measures more In the performance than In
the breach. I shall lend all possible assist
ance to trunnt ofllcers and others Inter
ested in school work, to the end that no
child of school ago, qualified to receive an
education, shall bo denlod tho same, and I
would be pleased p have your co-operation
In this matter.
It Is not Improbable, or rather It is very
probable, thai .the muny children In this
state who ro not offered, school advantages
uro moro tho victims of lmpractlcnl legisla
tion than of their social condition and any
form of servlco In which they arc employed.
Half-day and evening schools should be
inor generally established and medical In
spectors appointed to examine defectlvo
children nud children alleged to be defec
tive. Respectfully, C. K. WATSON,
Deputy Commissioner of Labor.
linen's Appeal from Death Sentence.
Briefs in support of the appeal of William
Rhea from tho death sentenco passed by tho
dlrtrlct court of Dodge county, have been
filed In tho 'supremo court Rhea was con
victed of murdering Herman Zahn, a saloon
keeper at Snyder, Neb. His sentence was
to havo boen oxocult-d on August 2, but
tho case was taken to tho supremo court
and a stay ordered by that tribunal, Tho
objections of Rhea's' attorneys are to- tha
ruling pf tho court that a Juror who says
ho Is apposed to capital puhlshmont Is In
competent to sit In a murder case and
that prejudicial error Ilea In many of, the
court's Instructions. Principal reliance,
however, Is placed upon the claim that
thero la nothing In tho evidence to Justify
tho death sontence and that a fair reading
of the criminal code does not make tho
killing of a man during the perpetration of
burglary murder In the first degree.

man comrade and they formed an ac
qualntance. After chatting a while the old
German drew a flask from his pocket and
offered the chaplain a draft ot the good
stuff. The chaplain declined with thanks,
but he failed to get his comrade to do like
wise.
Congressman Burkett could not tell why
he was Invltrd to come here. He was not
of the old soldiers and could not talk ot
camp life. He said tho women had a great
amount of credit and he would talk to the
women and of the women. Ho said It was
a talking subject. He said he could not
easily seo why Ood made woman after he
had made man unlcs It was that he was
afraid tho woman would talk him out ot
making man at all. After well turned Jokes
about the women he turned t the earnest
side of his subject. He said at oace weat
to Schuyler ta speak before a teachers' In
stitute. He had cheeon aa his subject,
"Man and Hit Environments." Hs entered
the hall and faced an audience of about
160 teachera with only six rata a toon g them.
He changed hta subject and spoke on the
new woman. Before he closed he drifted
from woman to the paying ot fine compll
moats. Enlistment a Proud Day.

It Is not a matter ot high birth, not of the

theso old soldiers could look back to tho
date of their enlistment and their faithful
performance of duty. He went back to the

MRS. LEONB DOLEHAN writes from
tho Commercial Hotel, Minneapolis,
Minn., as follows:
'Tor two monthj my physician experi
mented with mo trying to cure a hard cold
watch settled la my stomach causing la
nammatton and catarrh. I then made up
my mind that he wns simply unab'te to
help me, and reading somt ot tho (Uttering
testimonials to the value of Peruna In such
caata I thought I would try it.
"It waa six weeks before I could eat a
meal without unpleasant effects, but I
have now been well for tlx months and I
give all the credit to Poruna." Mrs. Lcono
Dolehan.
Mrs Wm. Henderson, Bordulac, N. C,
writes:
"I was troubled with very serious
female weakness; had spells ot flow
inntlint exhausted me so that I fear
id 1 would lose my mind. I sufTumd
untold agony with my back, tho pain ex
tending down my left leg. My pain was so
severe that I would havo welcomed death
at any moment so no one need wonder that
I rocommend Poruna so highly, for It cured
me entirely of that. Not a sign of pain
has ever returned nnd that will
soon be two years nu,o,
I am glad that there Is a way I can
speak, trusting that many a sufferer will
read my testimonial, and not only read, but
believe." Mrs. Wm. Henderson.
Women are oxtrcmely liable to catarrh
ot the stomach and pelvic organs. Theso
diseases, especially In the depressing
weather ot summer nre very hard to bear.
Happiness and good health are Insepara
