. In the matter of the assessment of the
cattle of Tlerney Bros. In both Logan and
fcuster counties, the board decided the cat
Tie should be assessed In Custer and not
aLogan county. The Tlerney Bros, own a
J-anch In Logan county and the cattle were
raised on the Logan ranch and then moved
Into Custer county and fed for the market,
and were In that county on April 1. B-fore
leaving Logan they were assessed there,
and th Caueter county assessor assessed
them In Custer county April 1. As the
cattle have never been taken back to Logan
county, but shipped to South Omaha from
Custer, and aa one of the Tiemeys lives
1n Custer and looked after the cattle there,
the board credited them to Custer county.
(Attorney Squires looked after the Interests
ef the Tlerneys and County Assessor Jules
JIaumont looked after Custer county's In
terests. The cattle were assessed at almost
twloe as much In Custer as In Logan.
Pointers for Prospective Regents.
'. Considerable Interest la being taken In
the nomination of republican candidates for
.regents of the tSate university around the
tats house and Deputy Auditor Cook, who
A Is In a position to know something about
'.(ba finances of the institution, had this
jto say regarding the matter:
1 "The man who expects to be nominated
r jtVy ths republicans of the state should
Igneke It plain to the people that he will
. jrtand for the business of the State unl
jverslty being conducted along the lines of
She other state Institutions. That Is, he
should proclaim that eh is for the grestest
jpubllclty in all matters pertaining to the
finances of the Institution; that he favors
contracts for buildings being paaaed upon
fcy the Board of Public Lands and Build
ings as are the new buildings of all other
institutions; that he favors vouchers Issued
by the regents being filed with the state
auditor and being passed upon by him the
atne as the vouchers from all the other
institutions; that he favors competitive
Ridding when It comes to letting contracta
for supplies and the widest publicity given
to the notice of the letting. The statutes
'git this time require the state auditor to
Issue warrants on certificates issued by the
regents, but It must be a fact that the re
arents do not investigate all of the claims.

The auditor doea not see the vouchers.
The constitution requires that the auditor
shall audit all state accounts and the can
didates for resents should proclaim that
he favors the proceeding outlined In the
constitution. This should not be taken as
a protest against the present Board of
Regents, but as a matter of principle these
things should be done. The university
spends as much money almost as all the
other Institutions and yet there Is no check
on the expenditure so far as the auditor
is concerned. Were the vouchers filed In
the office of the auditor every voter and
taxpayer would havs an opportunity to
Investigate the expenditures and see for
himself where the money goes."

where the city of Lincoln Is trytng to com
pel the company to sell six tickets for 28

comes he would know pretty thoroughly
whether the man Is Insane. The Jury which
heard the evidence In the first case was
divided as to his sanity, six to six.

But They Pulled Through On our way to
Sunday school last Sunday we passd Mr.
Payne's double seated rig with one wheel
broken. Mr. Payne sail- his wife had been
on a lark Saturday. One of the organ

and while he and Mrs. Psyne were pn the

Frightful Condition What a disappoint,
ment It must be for an old lady, who, when
she sees a doctor coming down the street
and watches as far as she can see him,
to have him turn a corner and not enter a
house until far out of her sight. Poor
woman! How she suffers from ungratlfled
curiosity; she does not know who Is sick
nor what ails them. A. V. Gates In Au

Couldn't Hurt Him Wllmer Harper, chief
cook at this prlntery, didn't get his head
blown off nor his neck broken the Fourth
(although he celebrated at Randolph) and
didn't feel satisfied, so Friday evening
he hitched up his roans to a cultivator to
plow a few rows of potatoes. Plowing dirty
Irish potatoes Is harder work for the roans
than when poking along the road when
Wllmer Is out riding with his best girl, so
they resented the Indignity and started
down Bon Ton pike at 1:66 clip, with tho
reBult that the driver made a high shoot
and came down all mixed up with the
I cultivator. He held on and was dragged
along like a foot ball player for several
. when he was flnallv untanaled from
yards- wnen ne waa nnaiiy untangled from
the dirt, lines and cultivator, he was
minus seventy-five Inches of epidermis, had
a few broken slats and his staves gener
ally loosened up from his vertebrae. He Is
at work again, for It takes more than that
to put a wiry printer out of business.

Cowardice of a Crowd A patent medicine
vendor stationed himself on the corner near
Grlco's drug store Saturday, and with the
help of a negro minstrel speedily attracted
a crowd about him that jammed the pave
ment and made It necessary for passer-by
to go upon the street. At Intervals between
th songs, he vociferously advertised his
medicine. .A boy passing around his wagon
happened to lie whistling. Ho turned upon
the boy with a face of fury and ordered
him to stop whistling, as if the boy had
no more right to whistle on the street than
he to cry his tales about his compounds.
The boy obeyed him, strange to say, and
the crowd kept silent Tet every rlght
feellng Man In the crowd must have felt
that the fakir deserved to be pulled from
his wagon and driven from the street. The
boy's right to whistle is Just as sacred as
the peddler's right to vaunt his wares.
If such men desire exclusive privileges,
they can get those exclusive privileges by
renting a room or getting off the public
streets. Next time such a thing occurs
we hope there will be men enough to stand
up for the boy. Webster County Argus.

The principal feature of the afternoon
meeting of Thursday was the annual ad
drees of President T. L. Orlffltha. The
essential features of his address were that
"We have no power to change the plana
of the Ixird, but must follow In the way
that Chris thas taught." Continuing, he
said: "The grace of the children should
be developed among all the people and we
must contend for the New Testament
teaching, In one faith, one baptism and
one God. At the emancipation there were
but tuO.OU) colored Baptists, now there are
2.400,000. The white Baptists of the south

principles prevail throughout the south,
and the sublime opportunity presents Itself
for the white Baptists to do God's work
with the colored race. The harvest Is ripe
and the work for the gleaners la ready for
the Christian and educational emancipa
tion of their less fortunate brethren In
Christ, the colored race."
Following Dr. Griffith's eloquent address

BETTER THAN SOAP FOR: FACES
Some Thlncs that Will Help Errea m
Homely Woman to Be Better
Looking;.
"All women cannot be beautiful, but
there is no excuse for any woman' not
being well gToomed nowadays," said Mlas
Grace Moore, who Is demonstrating the IS.
Burnham's toilet requisites at Sherman A
McConnell's Dodge street drug store. "And
being well groomed does not mean being
mode up by any means, although many
people confuse the two," she continued.
"It simply means making the most of such
good points as one has hy Intelligent care.
Very often women Inform me with much
emphasis that they use only soap and
water on their faces and consider cleanli
ness the chief requisite. In this they are
quite right snd therein lies the value of
our preparations they cleans and purify
the skin, and then keep that away.
"It Is only prejudice that precents a
woman's recognizing that there are other
preparations than soap that perform the
same office of cleansing and have the addi
tional properties of healing, building and
strengthening the tissues. Excessively dry
or oily skin Is not a normal condition and
we have remles for this, and we also hare
a akin food that with an Intelligent massage
removes the lines and wrinkles, preserving
the healthful condition of the skin and
the contour of the face. Certain conditions
bring about enlarged pores that greatly
disfigure the face. This condition one of
our remedies removes, reducing the else of
the pores again. Another preparation Is
applied with massapre for reducing the
double chin. This superfluous flesh Is re
duced by absorption and thon a tonic Is
applied to cercome the loose, flabby skin.
And then there are other preparations for
removing tan, freckles and other disfigur
ing face blemishes."
"Why anyone should disapprove of re
moving such blemishes or using remedies to
promote a natural, healthy condition of
the skin Is difficult to understand." For
tho benefit of the skeptical. Miss Moore Is
demonstrating what the K. Burnham prep
arations will really do.
