TTTE BEE: OMAITA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1910. 3 Nebraska UNKIN WOULD CHANGE LAWS i Secretary of State Wants New Bale for Filing Incorporation. SMALLER FEE FOR FOREIGN FIRMS New If Taaard, Will Make Frr a Basil of Aathorlard Cap Hal m-U. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Nov. 24. (3eclal.) Secretary of Ktate Junk In has prepared aeveral rec- j otnmenuations to oe auDmlttel to the com Inn legislature regarding a change In laws which affect hla department an well as the Board of Educational Land- and Funds. Mr. Junkln recommends that the law re- I latlDg to the filing of articles of Incorpora tion be changed ao that the fee charged I hall be baaed on the "authorized" capital mock. As the law la now neither the au- i thorited or tlx pajd up capital stock la mentioned, so the legal department of lata held that the law should be Inter preted to be the "paid up" capital stock. Until Wl the law provided the fee to be baaed on the "authorised" capital stock and when the fee was increanetl, by a cler ical error, the word "authorized" was omitted, ao Mr. Junkln says. In discussing the annual occupation tax, which la collected under a law enacted last winter, Mr, Junkln recommends that the fee be a per centum bawd upon the "paid up" and "subscribed" capital stock of the corporation. Foreign corporations doing buBlneR In Nebraska he recommends be required to pay only upon such proportion of their capital atock as their property lo cated or used In this state bears to the total amount of their property and capital outside the state. Mr. Junkln Joins with the other members ot the Hoard of Educational Lands and Funds lo recommending that the law pro viding for Investments be amended so that state bonds held, by the state treasury may bo disposed of at not leas than par and the money thus secured, be reinvested In mu nicipal and school, pond of the state. These state bonds pay the state between t and flVa pec Cent, while the municipal and Softool bonds will pay the state from 4 to per ent and at the same time reduce the amount of Interest, that has to be paid by those who Isaue tKem. During the last y ar Mr. Junkln says the board has re fused to take over 11,000,000 of these local securities because of a lack of funds. The money Invested in state bonds Is between 13.000,000 and 14.000,000. Mr. Junkln says the Issuing of tags to automobile owners, registering the ma chines and notifying 'the' owners has be come such a task that it requires the time of one clerk and, therefore, he has asked for an Increased . appropriation, for his office to pay for an extra clerk. Four years ago there were registered 1,087 auto mobiles and now the registrations number nlore than 16,000. Tha new registrations, outside of the renewals, average about 6,000 a year. During the last two years the fees of the office have amounted to more than 1200,000, and Mr. Junkln believes the appropriation for office expenses should be Increased that the Immense amount of additional bualneea to which tha offloe now has to attand can be taken care ot SPENCER IS KILLED BY CARS CsmJaetor on Westbound Kxtra 1 Pre la at Iastaatly KlUed on ' 'hoelf inland.

BROKK.N BOW, Neb.. Nov. 24.-(Speclal.) A meeting was held last night te discuss the matter of a new court house. Since the result of tha election was known people from all over tha county have expressed an opinion that the titles of their homes should no longer be left in Jeopardy and that a suitable court house should be erected as quickly aa a vote on the same could be procured. , This proposition to call a special election and vote a levy for this purpose was fa forably acted opon. It was the consensus of opinion that fur a building costing approximately SO,000, the levy for court house purposes should be T mills and should be raised In two years, 4 mills to be lev- led on the 1911 assessed valuation and mills on the 1312 assessed valuation of the oounty. ; Committers aoverlng various features of tha work were appointed and petitions are tmlng ctreulated In all parts of the county. Tha asseased valuation of Custer county or uiv wu ,.x),(uj, ana t nuns based on this amount will raise exactly Jil.7u7. The aaaessed valuation for the next two years will be similar to that of 1K10, On this amount the election will call for i nulls to be raised next year and S mills the year after.

QUEER SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE Characters of the Foreign Contingent Developed tn tha American Civil War. The foreign contingent In our army has been with us from the beginning, though now It Is a rapidly decreasing quantity more conspicuously represented on the re tired than on the active list. Some of Its members were professional soldiers who went wherever there was good pay to be had for fighting; others were enthusiasts for our cause or Institutions. During and Immediately after our civil war this for eign contingent was particularly strong. We were or thought we were under the neces sity of hiring almost every foreigner who offered himself with a certificate of service to drill our young volunteers. The good, the bad and the Indifferent wera all found holding our commissions. There were ex cellent officers who deservedly rose to high commands who were the graduatea of foreign armies or foreign military schools: there were others who wera little more than drlllmaaters; while from our adopted clusenshlp there came not a few men who were carried Into the army by the same sympathy which years before drew them to the United States. They resumed here the swords they had worn In their native lands. Almost every European land had sons In our foreign contingent, and there were strange companionships formed In conse quence. The late Major De Rudlo was a brother officer of Captain Iceogh of the Seventh cavalry. De Rudlo was an Italian radical, one of the Orslnl conspirator who attempted the life of Napoleon III, missed their aim and killed a good many Innocent bystanders'. More fortunate than his chief, Da Rudlo received commutation of sen tence, went to exile, came to this countiy, served In a volunteer regiment In the olvll war and somehow or other obtained a com mission In the regulars, as a seoond lieu tenant ot cavalry. Captain Keogh waa a graduate of the papal army, the cadet of an old Irish family. Ha had fought for the papacy against Italian unity and on the defeat kf hla cause sought and found service In this country. He fought for the union, and waa appointed to the Seventh cavalry when that regiment was raised. There couhl, have been no common meet ing ground between Keogh and De Rudlo, and one wondered how it was possible to keep the peace betweeu them. Keogh was one of the brave men who dted with Custer. De Rudlo was tn the same fight, but with that wing of the regiment commanded by Major Reno. Keogh's horse was the only horse or man of Custer's Immediate fol lowing found alive by the relieving column, and became a famous steed. It waa long maintained the pensioner of the regiment, and, riderless, participated In all parades and ceremonies. Tha flat Oeneral Cop plnger was another ' officer who first smelled powder In the papal array. Like Keogh he came of 1 an old Irish family whose traditions led him to Rome not aa a pilgrim but as a defender. The United States In turn has furnished many soldiers -of fortune to other lands. In Latin America the military adventurers from this country have been so common as to give us a better name for fighting than for minding our own business. On a much larger field and In muoh grander style Ward In China Illustrated tha Yankee capability for alternating" the rolea of the general and administrator. A story even more striking than Ward'a la that of General John P. Boyd, a native of Massa chusetts, whom some very old Bostonlans may have heard mentioned by their fath- era He died In 1830, naval officer of the port of Boston, .ending a very bustling ca reer which had carried him to India In the humdrum routine of this office. In India he commercial led his command of a remarkable body of mercenaries he had organised into a division. He llterallv oon- tracted out himself and his army to na tive potentates that had the price, and only abandoned the lucrative practice when British conquest had progressed so far as to leave no room for the exercise of his peculiar talents. At one time Boyd Is said to have had as many as ten thous and men In his army, which was admit. tedly well organised and handled. In later days when our army was very small, young Americans who had strong yearn ings for military life they rould not sat isfy here sought service In foreign landa Thomas H. Benson made much of one In stance, that of a young New Yorker who was a captain of cavalry in the Austrian army, who had difficulty In securing a commission to serve his own country in the Mexican 'war. Benton hated West Point, and charge i It with exerting Us In fluence against this Austrian trained American to prevent him from receiving a rank In accordance with his experience. licaloQ Transcript.

OFFER THANKS IN CHURCHES Union Episcopal Service at Trinity, Bishop Preaching. OTHER SERVICES HELD IN CITY Several Prominent Consrrrnatlons Mifl for Praise Servlee In Nor wegian nnd Danish Lutheran Chart-h At All alata. All but one of the Protestant Episcopal churches of Omaha united In Thanksgiving day service at Trinity cathedral and the sermon was delivered by the head of the diocese, Rt. Rev. Arthur L. Williams. The parishes taking part besides Trinity were the Church of the Good Shepherd, St. Andrew s, St. Barnabas', St. John s, St. Mathiaa and St. Philip the Deacon. Bishop Williams preached on the text, "Render unto God the things that are God's and unto Caesar the things that are Caesar'a" The prelate discussed the twin duties of citizenship In the religious and secular worlds sndN spoke of acute moral Issues confronting the world today. The chancel and choir were filled with rectors of the several churches taking part In the service. The music, was given by Trinity cathedral choir, which, besides the regular music pertaining to morning prayer, sang a Harvest Thanksgiving anthem. At All Saints' church, which arranged for a service of Its own before the union service was scheduled. Rev. T. J. Mackay preached on some great differences between Thanksgiving day this year and the first Thanksgiving service. "Among the reasons for us to feel thank ful," said Mr. Mackay, "is the wonderful crop of this year of grace, 1910. Contrast this with the product of the Pilgrim fathers from their twenty-six acres. "Then think how thankful we ought to be, and what an amazingly grateful nation the United States would be if our gratitude to God had Increased proportionately. "What la thankfulness?" asked Mr. Mackay. "How many In this city today are grieving over broken homes, over dear ones who have gone from ua For these to be thankful they must have a sublime faith that their departed friends or relaUves are better off whither they have gone. Re member that in grief there Is always a cer tain amount of selfishness." REASON FOR GIVING THANKS Rev. Leonard Groh. Saya Country Haa Good Reason for Belnar Grntefnl. "Praise ya the Lord, for It la good to slag the praises of our God, for It Is pleasant and P raj se is comely, ' from verse 1 of the ninety-seventh psalm was the text preached by Rev. Leonard Groh of St. Mark's Luth eran on Thanksgiving. Mr. Oroh preached at the Danish Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. R. P. Patterson assisting in the Thanksgiving service. "We should give thanks for personal privileges, church privileges, city and state privileges and for our abundant crops and business conditions. People of the United States should especially give thanka that they are dtlsena of thla great country. They should give thanks because during the last few years there haa been an arous ing of the conscience of the publlo and laws are enforced on both rich and poor. Indi vidual and corporation alike. "Americans should look forward optimis tically, living la high, but savings deposits are higher now than ever before. Thla country should set a good example to for eign lands because other countries are fol lowing In the path of thla nation." During hla sermon Rev. Oroh gave soma Interesting statistics he had made up. if the S.100,000,000 bushels of the year's corn orop were placed In a train of wagons fifty bushels to the wagon and a Una made with each wagon fifty feet behind th other It would take a man 117 years to watch It go by at average speed. He also called attention to the fact that America had 600,000,000 bushels of corn to spare thla year. CHILDREN GIVE TO THE) POOR Collection of Money, Bdlhles nnd Clothlnar Larger Than Ever. Tha Thanksgiving collection of gifts from school children to the poor was larger than ever before. The Associated Charities, which waa only one of the nine organizations to share in the benefits, re ceived enough canned goods and sacks of potatoes to provide for several destitute families for several months and several sacks of serviceable clothing. Ail the other charity societies received similar shares, and although there were more dis tributers to divide tha gifts, their shares were larger than ever before. At the high school the pupils took up a collection of $100, all of which goes to tha Visiting Nurses' association. It was thought that the efforts of the nurses in helping a high school pupil who had been sick in creased tha offering. The new plan of distribution worked splendidly and tha fact that tha teachers were supplied with bags, In which the con tributions could be sorted and labeled, helped materially. The custom of the Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America giving Thanks giving dinners to the poor waa not followed this year and tha only dinners that were given through organised effort wera dis tributed by ths Associated Charities whose office had a Hat of families from which it gave out names to those who desired to help. The Aasoclated Charities find Thanks giving time an unusually easy time to get help for their needy ones and the general spirit of generosity Is a great help to or ganised philanthropy.

P poe-s famous balloon hoax Mow tha Whale World Was Fooled with a Flylasr Machine ory In 144. I The recent attempt of Walter Wellman to I cross the Atlantic ocean In a diiiRlMe bal loon and the admission of Edgnr Allen Poe In the Hall of Fame recall one of the ! greatest fakes In history. Poe came to Nrw , York from Philadelphia in 144. Ills wife I was 111 and he was without employment. 1 He had Just $4.50 and he was determined to i make some money. lie wrote the great balloon hoax and sold It to the New York j Sun. That paper published the story as ' fact on April 1.1. 1S44, nd the whole world I was amazed. The story related that a Monck M.ison had Invented a steering bal loon in which he had crossed the Atlantic ocean In three days. Mason carried seven passengers, among them Robert Holland, j Harrison Alnsworth. a well-known author; j Sir George Cayley and other?. Scientists 1 In America and Europe hastened to con- ! gratulate the aeronaut, but before the hoax j was expoeed Poe himself confessed the fake. The story occupied four columns of j ueiaiieci information ana snows the bril liant Imagination of the unfortunate Poe. Here are some extracts from the story, showing the wealth of detail that fooled the public: "The great problem Is at length solved! The air, as well as the earth and the ocean, has been subdued by science and will become a common and convenient highway for m.inklnd. The Atlantic has been actually crossed In a balloon! and this, too, without difficulty without any great apparent danger with thorough con trol of the machine and in the Inconceiv ably brief period of seventy-five hours from shore to shore! By the energy ot an agnt at Charleston, & C, we are enabled to be the first to furnish the public with a de tailed account of this most extraordinary voyage, which waa performed between Sat urday, the 6th Instant, at It a. m and 2 P. m. on Tuesday, the JHh InBtant, by Sir Edward Brlnghurst. Mr. Osborne, a nephew of Lord Bentinck'a: Mr. Monck Mason and Mr. Robert Holland, the well-known aero nauts; Mr. Harrison Alnsworth. author of "Jack Sheppard." etc., and Mr. Henson, the projector of the late unsuccessful flying maohine with two seamen from Woolwich In all, eight persons. The particulars fur nished below may ba relied on aa authentic and accurate in every respect, as with a slight exception they are copied verbatim from the Joint diaries of Mr. Monck Mason and Mr. Harrison Alnsworth, to whose po liteness our agent is indebted for much verbal information respecting tho balloon Itself, lte construction and other matters of interest The only alteration in the MS. received has been made for the purpose of throwing the hurried account of our agent. Mr. Forsyth, Into a connected and intelU ble form. "It was at thla Juncture that Mr. Monck Mason (whose voyage from Dover to Well burg in the balloon Nassau occasioned so muoh excitement In 1873) conceived the idea of employing the principle of the Archime dean acrew for the purpos of propulsion through the air rightly attributing the failure of Mr. Henson's scheme and of Sir George Cayley's to the Interruption of sur face in the Independent vanes. He made the first publlo experiment at Willis' rooms, but afterward removed his model to the Adelaide gallery. Like Sir George Cayley's balloon, his own waa an eyipsoid. Its length waa thirteen feet six Inches, height six feet eight Inches. It contained about 320 cublo feet of gas, which If pure hydrogen would support twenty-one pounds upon Its first Inflation before the gaa haa time to deteriorate or escape.
