bridge, which connects Nebraska and Iowa.
Flagg enlisted tho services of the officers
and attempted to stop him. but as no pa-
iiers had been Issued they could not detain

and left. The other partner will attempt
to dispose of what property there is left
and then return to his home.

1 nlverslty Plare MatVs Demand.
Citlxens of University Place appeared In
the office of the Railroad commission this
morning to complain because the Rock
Island railroad declines to establish a
station, though running within a few
blocks of the limits of the city. Commis
sioner Clarke was absent In Oklahoma at
tnndlng the transmlsslsslppl congress and
Commissioner Wlnnett was at Columbus
where a demand for a new depot has been
made, so Commissioner Williams, though
he might hare beard U,e request, declined
to do so. A hearing will probably be
granted December 9.

The state auditor has been advised that he
Is perpetually enjoined from registering a
block of $500 school bonds from district No.

by a vote of 10 to 1 and fifteen negative
votes were kept out by the closing of the
polls.

Big Money In Alfalfa.
"Running well over the mark of $11,500,
000, tho value of the alfalfa raised ih
1H07 shows pretty conclusively that the
farmers of Nebraska are fully awake to
the Importance of this great fodder crop,"
said Labor Commissioner Ryder. "The
figures on the atato production of alfalfa
I have Juat boon completed, and give a
total production of 1160.759 tons. Figured
at a very conservative valuation, this Is
worth $11,606,072.
The total acreage was reported as 4oo,592,
and the nverage yield Is 3.16 tons per acre.
I which Mr. Ryder Insists Is away within
the facts, and reports from other sources
bear out his Judgment.
Dawson county leads In acreage, with
27.393. but Buffalo is in life lead on pro
duction, with 93S10 tons, while Dawson
totals 93,132. Buffalo's acreage Is 26,803.
There are four counties reporting an
acreage of over 20.KO, ten counties report
an acreage of from 10,000 to 17,000. Only
six counties are given a value of less than
$10,000 for the crop.
Convict Labor Too Cheap.
Since tho publication of the Interview
with Tressurer Brian that he would Insist
on convicts working out under contract
receiving more than 5 cents a day. mem
bers of the Board of Public Lands and
! Buildings have received some Information
I on the subject. At present the convicts
! work for the Lea Broom & Duster com
j pany and for their scrvlcea the state Is
paid 60 cents a day each. The atate fur
nishes the company with power to run
Its machinery, a building to keep It In,
and a warehouse In which to store the
straw from which the hrooniB ure made.
The state also feeds the convicts. A manu
facturer of brooms out In the state has
written to a member of the board that to
gel men to work In his factory It Is neces
sary for him to pay them from $2 to $2.50
a day. This man of cuurse furnishes all
his own machinery and power and the
things necessary to run an establishment.
He Hilda It hard work oompetlng with the
penitentiary firm.
In order to keep Us contract Willi the
Lee Broom & Duster company tho state
has been compelled to put In more power
to run the Institution and as the broom
company has grown and added more ma
chinery to its outfit, the state has been
required to put 111 more machinery,
though so far as known it has never been
explained to tho board that the broom
company mhde It necessary for the Instal
lation of new machinery.
Treasurer Brian announced again today
that he would never vote for a continua
tion of the present contract with the
broom company, which expires next
spring-.'' He will urge Its rejection and
the adoption of a new contract which will
compel thla corporation to pay living
wages to the convicts. If the company
rcfusea to make such a contract then lie
will favor putting the convicts to soma
other work.

stenographers, when Mlaa Minnie JoDon
leaves to tako poaition with the Oliver
Iron Mining company of Duluth, Minn.
Miss JoDon for the last five years has bten
employed aa alenographer In the office of
the labor bureau, but her duties were
more of a statistical nature than merely I
taking dictations. It la said of her by
nose in a poemon to know that she Is as
j well acquainted with the resources of the
state as any on In the state, and during
the last legislature on the floor of the
house she wa given credit for what h
been done during the last few years by the
bureau In the matter of compiling statis
tics. Mlsa JoDon originated the splendid
correspondence system now almost per
footed, being used by the bureau to gather
statistics. She tendered bis resignation to
Labor Commissioner Ryder this morning
and will begin work In her new postlon
Decemlier 2. Some months ago Miss JoDon
took Ui a homestead In Wisconsin Just
thirty milea from the position she goes to
and It was for the purpose of being close
to her property as well aa the superior
opportunities such a position offers that
induced her to resign. Her new work
will be of a statistical nature. Commis
sioner Rydor haa already tendered tho po
sition of stenographer to a young woman
of this city.

headway our child makes In learning, we
stop to marvel at our Inconstancy to our
great Maker. We feel that we have a
great deal to be thankful for. The people
of th's state cannot appreciate the won
derful good such an Institution Is doing for
them until they are brought face to facel
with a terrible affliction.
Then another thing to be thankful for Is
that our child Is under the care of such
good. Christian people aa Mr. and Mrs.
Morey. I visit there frequently and know
they have the students' Interest at heart.
They treat them all as If they were their
own. The children are well provided for In
the way of food and beds. I shall certainly
recommend It to people who have blind
children and are afraid to send them away
from home among strangers. Accept this
note as a thanks offering from two grate
ful parents. Respectfully,
MR. AND MRS. ISAAC WALDEN.
