Adjutant General Hall denies that the
request of Governor Morehead that leu
tenant fthallenberger, son of a demo
cratic ex-governor, made to the War de
partment, bo transferred to the Nebraska
Guard from tho rcgulnr army Is politics.
Ho nays that the request was made at
tho solicitation of the military board,
all of which are republicans except Gen

was formerly a commissioned officer of
the Nebraska Guard, and on account ot
his efficiency was given n commission In

'Wo are after efficiency," said the
general, "for If the Nebraska Guard Is
called out we want to handle the boys
In such a wny that, while wo expect to
keep up the reputation of Nebraska boys
as fighters, wo do not want to lose any

LINCOLN. Neb., April M.-(9poclnl.)-
U may. be -necessary for-the people of
Nebraska to move tho state capital from
ltd present location to some other town
whero tho artistic eye and esthetic taste
of some of the people of Lincoln may
not suffer because of the nature of the
grounds and walks around the present
building. '
For1 some tome the city commission,
backed up by some of the people, have
demanded that In order to give the city
greater beauty; the walks should all be
In lino and put down to grade. That has
resulted In the city making onslaughts
on many beautiful lawns, cutting down
the ntco trees which happen to stand in
the way nnd otherwise marring the land
scape that the walks might alt run
straight and level. This has resulted In
several suits against the city for dam
ages, but tho work goes merrily on and
great and beautiful elms have felt the
axe, and have been demolished.
Wonts State to "Improve."
Now, one of the papers of the city la
domandlng that the commission order the
State Board of Public Lands and Dulld-
Ingo to put the walks around the state
house down to grade and otherwise do
things which they think ought to be
done.
This wilt necessitate the grading down
of the grounds on all four sides about
thrco or four feet and the cutting out
of tho outside roVv of trees, over 100 in
number, composed of elms and other
valuable kinds, Added to this the valu
able approaches on the corners and to
the center walks, eight In number, will
have to be demolished and new ones
erected. The approach to the Lincoln
monument will have to be rebuilt and
much of the beauty destroyed. The east
and west wagon approaches, which were
put In by an englneen to meet the re
quirements of tho grounds, will have to
be torn up and rebuilt. Besides the
destroying of these valuablo cement ap
proaches, which have all been put In
within the last two or three years, new-
ones will have to be built to take their
place, the grounds around tho outside
regraded and resodded and new trees
placed whore the old ones will have to
be cut out.

FINAL NOTE TO O'SHAUOHNESSY
Americans Are Asserted to Have
Taken Possession of City of
Vern Cms by an Unfair
AdTsntngr.
VERA CUUZ. April J6.-The following
Is a verbatim translation of the Huerta
note to Charge O'Shaughncssy transmit
ting the latter's passports. It was
handed to Mr. O'Shsughnessy by the
i Mexican minister of foreign relations on
April 22:
"Mr. Charge D'Affalres: Assuredly
your honor knows that the marines of the
American ships of war anchored off the
pott of Vera Cruz, availing themselves
of tho circumstances that tho Mexican
authorities had given them access to tho
harbor of the town beraube they con
sidered 'their presence was of a friendly
character, disembarked yesterday with
their arms and uniforms and possessed
themselves by surprise of the principal
buildings without giving time for the
women and children tn tho streets, the
sick and other noncombatanta to place
themselves In safety.
"This act was contrary to International
usages. It these usages do not demand,
as held by many states, a previous declai
ration of war, they impose at least
the duty of not violating humane con
sideration or good faith by the people
whom tho country which they ato In had
received aa friends and who, therefore,
should not take advantage of that cir
cumstance to commit hostile acts.
"These nets of tho armed forces of the
United States I do not care to qualify in
this note, out ot deference to the fact
that your honor personally has observed
toward the Mexican government and peo
ple a most strictly correct conduct, eo
far as has been possible to you In your
character as representative, of a govern
ment with which we have been In such
serious difficulties as those existing.
"Itegardlng tho Initiation of war
against Mexico, this" ministry reserves to
Itself the right of presenting to other
powers the events and considerations
poitlnent to this matter, In order that
they as members of tho concert of na
tions may Judge ot the conduct of the
two nations and adopt an attitude which
they may deem proper In view ot' this
deplorable outrage upon our nation'
sovereignty.
"The president of therepubIlo of Mex
ico has seen fit to terminate, as I have
the honor to communicate to your honor,
the diplomatic mission which your honor
has until now discharged. You will have
the goodness to retire from Mexican ter
ritory. To that end I enclose your pass
port at the same time informing you
that, as Is the diplomatic custom on such
occasions special train will be at your
disposal with a guard sufficient to pro
tect your honor, your family and your
staff, although tho Mexican people are
sufficiently civilized to respect even with
out this protection your honor and those
accompanying you.
"I tako this opportunity to reiterate to
your honor tho assurances of my h'shest
consideration. (Signed)
"JOSE LOPEZ PORTILLO Y ROJAS."

How This Wonderful Ointment Ends
Itching nnd Clears Away Eruptions.
The soothing, healing medication
in Resinol Ointment and Resinol
Soap penetrates every tiny pore of tho
skin, cloara it of all impurities, ana
stops itching and burning instantly.
Resinol speedily heals eczema, rashes,
ringworm, and many other eruptions,

ments prove worse than useless.
Resinol is not an experiment. It is
a doctor's prescription which proved
so wonderfully successful for skin
troubles that it has been used by
other doctors all over the country for
nineteen years. No other treatment
for the skin now before the public
can show such a record of profes
sional approval. Every druggist sells
Resinol Ointment (50c and $1,00),
and Resinol Soap (25c) ; but for trial
