THOMPSON PRESIDES Mann Confesses to Stealing Motor Car Callaway, Neb., Sept. 30. (Special.) E. Mann, arrested here last Friday by Deputv Sheriff Orr, charged with having a stolen Ford car in his pos session, when taken to Broken Bow and taken before the court, admitted that he had stolen the car at New port, Neb. The sheriff of Rock county was notified, who came to Broken Bow and took the prisoner and car to Newport. Dorsch Found Not . Guilty of Forgery Tecumseh, Neb., Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) George F. Dorsch, who has been on trial in the district court here since Wednesday morning on charge of forgery, was acquitted last night. Mr. Dorsch, formerly a farmer in the northern part of this county, and later in the drug business at Sterling, was charged with having signed the name ttf 'his brother, Henry Dorsch, to a note bearing also his own name, and securing credit for $4,000 at a Tecum seh bank. Mr. Dorsch does not deny the signature, but says he had his brother's consent to use his name. This the brother denied. When his drug store was closed at Sterling Mr. Dorsch disappeared, leaving his fam ily in that town. He was found in a little town near Denver, running a small grocery store under an assumed name. Bee Want Ads Produce Results. North Platte, Neb., Sept. 30 (Special.) "America, my own coun try first, last and all the time," and a governmental policy of protecting American citizens wherever they happen to be, was the theme of a speech delivered at the Lincoln coun ty fair here today before the largest and finest county fair crowd that ever gathered in western Nebraska by John L. Kennedy of Omaha, repub lican candidate for United States senator. Mr. Kennedy emphasized the im portance of understanding that be tween government and citizen there exist mutual and reciprocal rights and duties. It was John L. Kennedy who, when a congressman from the First district of Nebraska, introduced into the naturalization law, by amendment of the law at that time, a provision making a language qual ificaioh take the place of the literacy test. Under the naturalization law as amended it became necessary for each foreign born person to learn the English language before he could be come a citizen. Under the literacy test many of Mr. Kennedy's con stituents, who could neither read nor write would have been disqualified. Common Language Necessary. It was and . still is Mr. Kennedy's idea that because of the many dif ferent countries from which America draws its population it was impossi ble to have a common blood, but that it was therefore the more important to have a common tongue. His amendment provided for this and to day the foreign born coming Ameri cans are in night schools everywhere learning the English language to comply with the naturalization law. This one bit of legislation has lent more impetus to amalgamation of our adverse citizenship than any other one act. Although Mr. Kennedy's speech was for the most part nonpartisan and dealt with patriotic questions, he ; was roundly applauded when he made ; mention of the tariff and the hardship j it worked on the Nebraska farmer by, keeping his products on the free j list while the products of the south are protected by a protective tariff. It was Mr. Kennedy's view that a good thing ought to be given to all parts of the United States and not restricted in its operation to the fa vored states of the south. Chairman Thompson Presides. Mr. Kennedy was introduced by G. S. Thompson of Hershey, chairman of the Lincoln county republican cen-, tral committee, and near his auto-! mobile"while speaking itood S. M. Souder, A. P. Kelly, A. J. Salisbury and numerous' other prominent re publicans of North Platte. He left here in the afternoon for Lexington, where he will address a night meet ing. County Fair Board . May Refuse Fund Offered by County Will the Douglas County Agricul- tural society accept the appropriation of the county commissioners after de ductingv&30.60 under the law de clared unconstitutional by the su preme court. Secretary John McArdle said: "We will refuse to take it." President Ed Agee said: "We'll think it over." The county commissioners have passed an appropriation of $3,145.40 tor the agricultural society. Accord ing to the law that provides an ap propriation of 5 cents per capita pop ulation of the county, the association is entitled to $6,076. When the 3-cent appropriation was increased to 5 cents in 1912, the ques tion was threshed out and the 5-cent award upheld by district court. The matter was appealed to the supreme court by Attorney Ed P. Smith as a tax payer and the decision reversed. The 3-cent appropriation is now ef fective, according to the county com missioners. The agricultural asso ciation claims the S-cent pot. New Buildings for Nine Months Are Up to Last Year The total building operations in Greater Omaha for nine months end ing September 30 amounted to $5,266, 062, which almost equals the total of 1915, which was $5,385,000. With three months of this year yet to draw on, the city building depart ment is confident that the total for the year will exceed $6,000,000. During September 154 permits were issued, representing a building valu ation of $715,705. The operations in September last year were $359,055. - Another comparison in favor of this year is: First nine months of this year, $5,266,062; first nine months of last year, $3,724,875. September exceeded August by $63,000. German Fair Attracts Large Crowds Every Night Germans and their friends are op timistic at the prospects for build ing an Old People's home.

Special programs, including vaudeville and drama, will be the at traction during week nights. R. A. Moore Seriously Sick in California Callaway, Neb., Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) R. A.
