(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 7.-(Speclal.) Tioufth
four days have elapsed since the election,
as far as results can be given on a part
of the state ticket, nothing; sure Is to be
had. This has had the effect of stirring
up much sentiment for some sort of a
reform which will enable the people of
the state to know the result of an elec
tion at least a couple of days after the
close of the polls.
The short baHot appears to halve many
friends, though there are' other reforms
In connection with the counting whith
are needed, according to those who have
blen watching the returns coming In so
owly.
In some states It Is said that a double
election board has solved the problem.
The method of the double board Is for a
second board to begin the counting of the
ballots about noon. After the close of
the polls the board which started In the
morning quits and the board which
started In at noon finishes the count As
the count has been kept up very close
to the balloting during the afternoon, It
only requires an hour or two aftr the
polls close to rinlsh the count. In this
way the result of the election In the state
Is known long before midnight, and the
expense of the second board does not In
crease the costs of the election because
the time In counting has to be paid for
whether one board does the work or two.
It sems to be the opinion that the next
legislature will find some way to get
quicker results after the polls close. Of
course, the counting of the ballots by
the extra board Is not disclosed until the
total count Is completed.

Henry C. Richmond, newly elected mem

As to the speakership. Colonel Rich
mond said he had abundant assurance of
friendly support over the state, but would
be unable to make an extensive personal
campaign. '
"It's not worth the while," said Rich
mond, "and a poor man can't afford to
do It. I shall be honored to accept the
place if It comes to me, and I have so
many good fflends among the old mem

about a strong, vigorous and effective

LINCOLN, Nov. 7. (Special.) Accord
ing to a report filed by Secretary John
Shahan of the State Board of Charities
and Corrections, the county Jail at Mln
den, In Kearney county, should be taken
out of the basement, whlrh is dark and
low, and placed on the first floor of the
court house. The county does not own a
poor farm.
Buffalo county has a good jail, although
the building' la a little old. The poor
farm has a house four stories In height,
and Mr. Shahan recommends that the
bu'ldlng be torn down and made not over
two stories hlph. because of the effort
required for the old people In the home
to get to the upper stories.
Dawson county has a neat one-etory
Jail, modem in most Instances, but there
are no prisoners to enjoy Its comfort.
The poor farm Is run In good shape, put
Is too far away from the county seat, and
at the election the proposition was Voted
on to sell It and buy another closer to
town.
L'ncoln county has a fine large Jnll In
which the sheriff lives. There were seven
prisoners at the time Mr. Shahan was
there. The one female prisoner is kept
Jrf the second story of the Jnll and the
males on the first floor. Lincoln county
has no poor form.
Adams county has a ood Jail, outside
of the fact that it Is In the basement of
the court house, wh,'ch Mr. Shahan Is
opposed to. This county has a fine poor
farm. In charge of C. KV. Hall, who has
been superintendent fdr ten years.

us follow In the path that lendi to a
perpetual peace.
That we are a happy vopl can be wit
nessed In the troops f children, young
men and maidens, as they pass to and
from our school and Institutions of
learning; In the facea of our people as
they go In and out of their homes and
meet each other on the streets and high-
ways. In the inidat of the multitude of
onr blessings, let us not be unmindful of I
the great source from whence they flow. :
Therefore, In keeping with tho rrocl"-

Why Smith Succeeded
He was oh the job alert and energetic Mental
ability and physical activity made him shine in his old
job and brought promotkm. 1
Smith took care of himself.
Right there is the keynote of success one must
be mentally and physically fit.
A good start is to avoid the heavy, greasy foods'
that cause indigestion and kindred ills, and use a
wholesome, building food such as
Grafts
This healthful, appetizing food is made of selected
wheat and malted barley. It contains those vital min
eral salts, so necessary to health, that are often lacking
in the every-day diet.
The partial malting of the barley, with the long
baking (about 20 hours), makes Grape-Nuts a food
that digests easily and quickly.

Omaha People Helping.
Knowing that these conditions exist not
only In Belgium, but In France, Ger
many, Holland, Austria, portions of Rus
sia and several of the other countries on
the continent, the citizens of Omaha
have thrown themselves into the breach
and are determined that they will do
their share. They realize that a few
hours spent In making a suit for a boy,
or girl may save a life. They also reallza
that $5 cent at this time will, perhaps
prevent an entire family from starving;
at least they know that It will alleviate
a great amount of suffering. Knowing
these things as they do, regardless of
nationality, or who is right or wrona- in
i the present struggle, they are contribut
ing to the cause and working In tho In
terest of humanity.
Money Already llalsrd.

mitted to suffer, hundreds of Omaha
people who have heretofore contributed
to local Institutions, will this year send
a portion of their gift money abroad.

association, working under the dlrectoln
of Rev. F. Flleshman, will aid the cause
of humanity In the war Sons of Wurope.

ing for the first of next month to roll
around.
Local Itate Not Advanced.
While the advance In the rates will
have some bearing: on the cost of bread
stuffs to the ultimate consumer who lives
In the east aiid the south, it wllj not bo
felt by the Nebraska farmer, nor the
farmer of Io(a. MlnncHota and else
where who resides In Omaha grain trade
territory, for there is no. Intention of
advancing the local rate into Omaha. It
will rnmaln the same and the advance
will be absorbed by a raise In prices
abroad. In other words, the roads bring
ing the grain Into Omaha will get their
rhare of the advance by taking their
haro of the proportions "of the entire
haul. t
At the Vresent time the rate to Chi
rago Is U and 12 cents, respectively, on
wh;at and corn. Under tha new tariff It
Is proponed to advance tho rate to 12 and
13 cents.
At this time the rate for export via
New Orleans Is 1DV4 cent on wheat for
export nnd under the proposed tariff it
will be 21H cents. On corn there Is a
domestic rate of 20 cents and It Is pro
posed to advance this to 21 cents per 100
