' (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

NBW COIRT HOI SB FOR CUSTER
FroooeUloat for Fifty Thousand Dollar
Structure to 11 Voted on Boon.
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. The people probably will have an
opportunity of voting on the question early
In January, aa the county Board of Super
visors will act on the petitions next week.

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.

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.

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

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

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

These pianos nave an enviable reputation In New York, Boston and all the Eastern States, and the
manufacturers believe they oan introduce them In this market more quickly and satisfactorily by giving tho
people THE SAVING of the enormous expense of an Introduction through ordinary methods. Any thinking
person will readily appreciate that any manufacturer of any good piano can well afford to make tha above
liberal offer, if by so doing he can make his instruments aa well known in the vicinity during the next three
or four weeks as would take three or four years by ordinary methods of advertising.
This is the age of eo-operatlon, and the manufacturer of these pianos correctly believes that tho best way
to introduce them in this market is to spend the advertising money In making SPECIAL OFFERS TO THE
PEOPLE rather than by employing world-famous demonstrators at a fabulous expense, and making the people
pay for such methods by asking a heavily Inflated price for the piano.
