Secretary of Board of Agriculture
Finds Koad Making at Its Best
in California.
Nebraska
NEBRASKA IDEAS IN IDAHO
(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. (Special.) Secre
tary William It. Mellor of the Btate
Hoard of Agriculture, and Mrs. Mellor
have returned from a trip to Ran Fran
cisco and other points along the Paclfta
oast and to places of Interest between
Lincoln and the western cities.
Mr. Mellor says people of Nebraska
who are Interested in good roads In
this state ought to take a few pointers
from California, where they have road
making down to an almost perfect con
dition and the roads there are in fine
shape.
They stopped off at Boise, Idaho, on
mir return nome ana visited with Mr.
-"""Wendershot, former president of the Ne-
orasaa state rair. air. Hendershot was
tecently elected secretary of the Idaho
tale fair and the 1915 exhibition was
his first attempt. It was a success In
every way, the first time that the Idaho
fair has been made to pay as a con
sequence the people there feel Mr.
Hendershot is the whole thing and If
it wasn't for losing him they might run
Mm for governor.
The secret of the success was due to
the fact that Mr. Hendershot put a few
Nebraska Ideas into tho" scheme and with
his Nebraska push the fair Just had
to van out on the right side of the
ledger.
Mr. Mellor witnessed aeroplane flights
by Peterosky. The man could not talk
Knglish, but he could fly In several dif
ferent dialects. His most spectacular
flights were male like a cockscrew,
twisting around as ho made a straight
slight through the air. Mr. Mellor may
make an effort to secure him for the
Nebraska fair the coming year if the
cockscrew artist decides to remain in
this country and continue his exhibitions.
Insurance Authority
Attorney General Reed denies the pub
lished statements that the State Insur
ance board has recalled its former decla
ration about enforcing the electrlcitv
yause In fire Insurance policies. He says
nat the resolution of the board will stand.
but that the board has come to the con
clusion that it has no authority over what
kind of stipulations are made In riders
attached to Insurance policies.
"If the insurance companies can make
a special agreement with the party In
sured covering electricity, then that Is a
deal directly between the two and we
have no Jurisdiction over that kind of an
agreement attached in the form of a
rider." said the attorney general this
morning.

V Luff Will Have His
I T-r TTT -i
Hearing Wednesday
AURORA. Neb., Nov. 8. (Special.) Not
in many years has interest in Hamilton
county attached to an assault case as it
has in the Nelson-Luff case, near Mar
quette. Few men and no women In the
county are without expressed opinions as
to the guilt or Innocence of Fred Luff,
who is charged with the assault of Nels
Nelson.
Luffs preliminary hearing takes place
Deiore the county Judge next Wednesday,
and it seems probable that the court
room will be packed with Danes and
Swedes from Kronberg and Marquette.
Luff is a Dane and Nelson is a Swede.
Miss Mary Peterson of Marauette will
probably be the principal witness for the
state, bht la the young woman who was
fceing courted by both Luff and Nelson
She is reported to have told the officials
that L,urr had made threats against Nel
son in her presence.
When Luff was shot in the back of the
head a few nights later, the theory was
advanced that both Nelson and Luff had
been the victims of some one of the nu
merous admirers of the young woman.

Grosskopf today as he scrambled out of

seventy feet from th new Burlington
bridge which Is being constructed here.
Ten minutes later, having changed his
clothes, he was back at work at the point
from which he had fallen. Grosskopfs
escape from death or injury Is doubly
remarkable because he fell through a
mate of timbers without striking any
and because he managed to scramble out
of the river, which Is very deep and
swift, although he cannot swim a stroke.
He struck the water 100 feet from shore
and Is unable to account for his success
In reaching the bank.

Turk Fights Like

(Correspondence of the Associated Tress.)
LONDON, Nov. 1. An enthusiastic trib
ute to the Turk as an honorable fighter
comes In a letter frim an Australian offi
cer to relatives In Ixwdon.
"The Australians will hear nothing said

warn you against the tales of Turkish
atrocities In Oalllnoll or elsewhere. Wo
know all about the Turk. Haven't we
rr.ught against him for months? Me may
be a colored In ridel, but he fight, like i

But he put up a good fluht b.tnlnat Lum
bers, and the Turks were -i pleaded with
him that they dressed his wounds and
gave him a bottle of wine and water i rd
sent him back to us."
The same officer remarks that at first
the Knglish Indian troops regarded the
Australian troops with contempt and con
sidered It almost undlginirted to be asked
to fight alongstdo them. "The Gurkha
bucked when they were first put beside
us," he says. "They said that wo weje
not trained soldlerj and that It was net
fair to have to tight with ia Then we
got Into a charge together, and now they
admiringly rail vi the white Gurkhas."
