the French government has ascertained
beyond any possible doubt that certain
troops are at present in Germany, out
side the Austrian frontier. These troops,
which have set free certain German
troops destined to be employed In fight
ing the French, ought, Jnd'ibitubly, de
facto and Ce Jure, to be considered as
acting against France. lit these circum
stances the French ambassador was or
dered to leave Vienna.
t"The Austrian ambassador at Paris on
being Informed of France's . decision,

AGED WOMAN RUN DOWN

An aged woman waa knocked down,

pany, driven by Ole F. rieraon of 711
North Nineteenth street.
Pierson, Instead of stopping Ills wagon,
continued down the street at racing speed,
but was later caught and arrested by
Officer Wheeler on a charge of drunken
ness and for reckless driving. j
The old lady was so shaken up that
she could not clearly state her name or

be obtained at the St. Joseph hospital,

The Lincoln special train brought Jn of
the best boosters of Lincoln to King Ak-Bar-1
ten's Den Monday night. They took
their medicine) like men. They were
rocked on the rocky roHd to Dublin: they
were tossed by the waves of laughter:
they were scorched by the flames of
Mephlsto; but they came up smiling.
Governor Morehead was among those In
itiated. Politicians and office seekers
were present In the crowd without num
ber. The king knew they would be well
represented, so he labeled his favorite
boats accordingly. The boats that con
veyed them down the rushing falls of Ni
agara were labelled with such astonish
ing cards as "Metcalfe Calves," "Kemp's
t'n'itmpts," "Hammond Howlers," etc.,
clc.
Ilyera (;ea the Pare.
Gus Ityers, sheriff of Incaster county,
was In the crowd. Although he confessed
that his wife had cautioned him not to
"love the ladles." In the multiplicity of
chances It fell to his lot to dance the
tango with the Mephlsto nueen. It was
good to see the sheriff lifted clear off
the floor In this wild maie of dip, glide
and Texas Tommy. For In the midst ot
the wild whirl the sheriff of Lancaster
county was powerless to check, his golden
star wna ever present pinned to his belt
A. W. Jefferls presided over the speak
ing. Governor Morehead was the first
speaker. He boosted for Ak-Sar-Ben,
for Omaha and for Nebraska like a good
governor, and in spun oi mo -.
Rlngllng Brothers' circus wss a few
blocks away from the Den. he admitted
that King Ak-Sar-Ben had the best show
in the country .
Manpln and Hunt.
Will Maupin, being something of a
poet, whose poetry has even been quoted
in "The Public magazine oi ..nicsi,
read an original poem In which he had
embodied the sentiment of boost and get
together so well that he did not know
whether the great city of the futura
would be called, "Llncol-O, or Oma
Llnk." Then ho read a speech purport
ing to be that written by Bherlff Gus
Hyers, but Hyers refused to stand for
it. and delivered one of his own. Hyers
told some good stories, as Maupin had
predicted be would, and then ran off the
platform.
J. G. Hunt of Bridgeport waa one of
the candidates for office permitted to
speak. Ak-Sar-Ben always has a hard
time to know whether to let candidates
talk or not, but they have decided that
letting them talk when they are In the
audience does in no way constitute an
Indorsement. So they let Hunt tell about
the buffalo grass and the wheat and the
sheep they can raise In the western part
of the state, and he told It well.
Alas, Poor Tobta.
L. B. Tobln was reserved for the last
speaker. Last, but not least, rose Tobln.
Tobln takes himself seriously. That's
proper. But .the artisan of the Den has
no sense of what Is due to dignity, so
dignified aa was the Tobln speech, Tobln
found himself well, where, In a place he
could not exactly locate, so what does a
learned-by-heart speech amount to in
euch a case? .-'.
The Lincoln bunch was met at the
train by the members of the Board of
Governors of Ak-Sar-Ben. - President
Everett Buckingham of Ak-Sar-Ben, to
gether with a small party took Governor
Morehead to the Den in an automobile.
The rest of, the 500 were escorted to a
string of chartered street cars and hurled
to the Den.
The Lincoln fellows went back on a
special, leaving shortly after 11 o'clock.

ROME, Aug. 11. (Special Cablegram to

Ticket holders for today's scheduled
public audience with the pope were told
on their arrival at the vatlcar. that the
reception had been postponed.
The World was informed by persons
Intimate with his ntrurage that the
pope was surferintr from worrtment over

The steamer Brlndlal, putting in at
Barl. gave further detail of the bom
bardment by two Austrian cruisers of
Antlvarl on the Montenegrin coast yes
terday morning.
Italians In that city' hoisted their flag
and sent a communication, whereupon the
cruiser Exlgetvar Informed them that no
further damage would be done to Jtallan
property If no Montenegrins took refuge
In the city. The losses to Italians, due to
bombardment, are estimated at 100,000
francs. Afterward the cruisers flrel into
the mountains, where the supposed Mon
tenegrins were hiding.
The Italian losses were received here
quietly, owing to the . conviction that
Austria will give compensation. Many
Italians left Antlvarl for Cettlnje, and the
Montenegrins started for the Interior of
their own country, leaving the port deserted.
Lincoln I dividing sharply on the
method the downtown business men of
that city are using to Influence the vote
to keep the university campus downtown,
close to where their stores, pool halls and
saloons are. The Fast Lincoln league,1
for one, hss filed an extensive protest
with the city council of Lincoln.
Several business men downtown who
v-oulrt directly benefit by keeping the
university in their midst are so anxious
to keep It there that they promised the
legislature they would make up a fund
to buy the additional ground for down
towns extension of the campus, and
would see to It that the buying of these
fourteen acres would not cost the state
ubove S.fio.000. They gave a bond to guar
antee their promise.
Now. Instead of raising that money
among the dozen or two of 'business men
who promised it and who would benefit
by It they are asking the city council of
Lincoln to tax the property of the city
to raise the bonus money to pay the slato
for keeping the campus downtown
Test of Protest.
Il is this against which the Last IJn
coln league has protested In a communi
cation fllod with the Lincoln count II In
the following language: '
Honorable Members of the Oltv Council.
Lincoln, Neb.: Gentlemen The members
of he Kast Lincoln league protest sKtnt
the levy of a city tax on property In the
wiy ot Lincoln lor a state purpose such
bs university extension anil protest
HKHinst the use of money for a state pur-
w rumen nv a cny levy or ' mills
under the 1J13 city levy for a fund named
pmihh itnii campus extension luncl,
for the following reasons:
The question of the location of the fu
ture university Improvements has not
neen determined and will not be voted
upon until November 3 1914, and any levy
for such purposes before tho settlement
of this question Is for a sieoulatlve and
Indefinite purpose.
The levy of 3H mills In last year's cltv
of Lincoln levy for campus extension Is
misleading to. voters throughout the state,
as It gives the Impression that this city
Is going to pay for the extensions ou thej
dewntown campus, when the facts are
that It will not and cannot. The people
of the state are also of the Impression
that all of the people of Lincoln favor a
city tax for (hla state purpose when they
do not.
The law under which the endeavor to
levy 34 mills was made attempts to con
fer power to levy 5 mills for an Indefinite
number of years for the purpose "of
purchasing, holding and Improving public
grounds and parks, park extensions snd
improvements, and university extension,"
but the levy made last year was not made
for that purpose, but for a fund In
geniously called "for park and campus
extension."
This 3 mill levy to raise $16,000 the
first year was in addition to the general
city levy to raise ."AVOW. In which latter
sum had been Included a 2 mill levy for
a purpose or fund called "for city park."
Thus, If there wss any ground whatso
ever for the 2 mill levy and the 3'i mill
levy, a total of 64 mills, raising over
ITm.GOO for public grounds and park pur
poses, there was an excess levy above the
statutory limit of S mills.
Property in the city of Lincoln has al
ready been taxed of a mill for the spe
cial development of the Plate university,
and will be thus taxed for six years, and
any attempt at a levy by the city for the
same purpose is double taxation.

fell the shotgun discharging at the uroa

Mr. Humpel Is survived by a widow

He has simply wiped off u little spilled whiskey. You have wiped out a little
of your remaining hope of success.
You can't take hold of that bottle and be as good a nuui as you were before.
Whiskey is n poison, and the whiskey drinker poisons himself.
Worse than that, he poisons his family. He drowns
