4 A t Nebraska METCALFE GOING; NEYILLEJERHAPS Governor's Private Secretary Innounces He Will Join Army; Speculate Over Governor's Trip to Washington. (From a Stiff Correspondent ) Lincoln, July 7. (Special.) Priv ate Secretary Lee Metcalfe will go to war. In what capacity Mr. Metcalfe refused to state today for publication. It is surmised in the event Governor Neville takes up his sword in de fense of his country, Colonel Met calfe will buckle on his trusty sabre, and follow. Mr. Metcafe admitted today that it was his intention to serve his coun try. The store in The Bee that both the governor and his private secre tary would fight side by side in the "Dandy" Sixth, brought out the ad mission from the secretary that The Bee had the matter doped out about right regarding himself, but further he would not say and while efforts are being made to throttle all news regarding the governor receiving a commission, everybody around the state house appears to have the opin ion the governor will go. Has Perplexing Task. One very close to the situation ad mitted he believed the governor was not at all in love with the job of running the state. You see, said he, "the governor has never had any experience m the matter of holding public office. He was taken from his quiet business life and put into a posi tion which has been a very unusual one for him and also a most strenuous one for any man holding that position, in fact, never has a governor of Ne braska been called to take upon him self so much responsibility and hard work.' First was an extra long session of the legislature,, a session that at times presented a very aggravating aspect for the chief executive, Then came the enforcement of the prohibi tion law, which was put on th gov. ernor to look after. J'hen came the war situation with its registration for the draft, and, take it all around, no one can blame Governor Neville for wanting to get away from the noise nd turmoil of point at office as It now presents itself." Look to Washington. Everybody has his ear turned to hear the news from Washington, where Governor Neville has gone to look up the situation regarding the draft. It is the general opinion that while this was his principal missions, that other things may be talked .over, int most important 01 wuicu is inc appointment of officers for the -Dandy" Sixth. Some are of the opinion that Ad jutant General Hall will be made the commanding officer of the regiment with Governor Neville as lieutenant colonel, while others are of the opin ion that the thing will be reversed and that Neville will be colonel and Hall lieutenant colonel. There is another condition which exists with the organization of the Sixth regiment, and that is the for mation of the Nebraska regiments in toa brigade. In that case a briga dier general will have to be appointed and it would look as if General Hall might be made the head of the brig ade with the governor, colonel of the Sixth. Harveit Begins in Richardson. Stella. Neb., July 8. (Special.) Small grain harvest in this locality began this week when James A. Has kins cut a small patch of rye that promises to thresh out a good yield.

A field of Kerhon oats, near Falls City, is reported ready to cut ahead of the winfr- Gypsum Workers Strike For Big Raise in Pay Fort Dodge, la., July kV (Special.) The second big strike in six months, hat of 800 gypsum mill work ers and miners, is but two days off, although the men have not been work ing since last Saturday. The clay plant operators have broken the strike of about 600 of their men and all of the men at Lehigh, as well as at the local plants have returned to work. 1 he gypsum workers are asking for a big increase in pay and an eight hour day instead of a ten-hour stint. Top men want a 25 cents an hour in crease, or 55 cents an hour, while the miners ask 70 cents an hour. The companies have offered a 10 per cent advance in wages, but this has been turned dow by the men. One source of information says that the United States Gypsum company, which employs about 450 men, is pre pared to stand a year's idleness at the local plant.

The mayor was delegate to the national convention in Chicago last year, representing the rourth congressional district.

To Credit State for All Men Enlisted in Service (From Staff Correnpondsnt.) Lincoln, July 7 -(Special.)- Ne braska will be given credit for all men enlisted in the state irrespective of the real residence, according to Provost Marshal Crowder, who wired the governor to that effect this morning. Also all persons registering after July 10 will be in a class by them selves and will not be included in the rest of the draft. Outright Now First Assistant to Reed (From a Staff CorrMpondent.)

Cutright, who has been serving as third assistant attorney general at a salary of $1,800 a year, has been promoted by Attorney General Willis Reed to first assistant, with a salary of $2,000. Alfred Munger of Omaha, son of Federal Judge T. C. Munger of Lin coln, has been appointed to the third assistantshop to till the vacancy. Persistent Advertising is the Road to Success. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., July 7. (Special.) "The mills of the Gods grind slow, but they grind exceeding fine" or "it's a long road without a turn" or "he who laughs last laughs best" or any old thing like that will about explain the situation as it relates to the ap pointment of a member of the state board of chiropractors. Little did the bunch of senators who opposed Lieutenant Governor Howard during the last session of the senate and many times made it un pleasant for that gentleman as presid ing officer of the senate think when the session adjourned that the time would come when the lieutenant gov ernor would be able to put one over on the bunch, but that time came to day, when a petition signed by those senators was received at the executive offices asking for the appointment of Dr. H. C. Crabtree of Lincoln as a members of the State Board of Chiro practors. In the absence of Governor Neville it came in the province of Acting Governor Howard to make the ap pointment and it is needless to say that the endorsement given by those senators did not warm the cockles of the heart of Governor Howard and consequently Dr. Joseph C. Lawrence of Omaha, who was endorsed by the chiropractors association, received the appointment. Stolen Liquor Key To Three Burglaries Grand Island, Neb., July 8. (Spe cial.) the police uenartment. in con junction with the sheriff, has solved the mystery of three recent burglaries by a thread of evidence obtained when William McAnally was arrested on the charge of furnishing a stranger with litjuor and having the same in his possesion illegally. It was found that this liquor tallied with a description of some looted by burglars at one of the residences re cently entered here, and while Mc- Anall was held in the county jail on the first charge, his home was search ed and more of the liquor of the same brand stolen, as also some silverware, was found. When confronted with this evidence McAnally admitted two of the burg laries and implicated Cliarles Kap- hacl. Raphael was taken into custody and admitted having some of the goods, but denied that he was impli cated in the two burglaries so tar ad mitted. While he was in custody his rooms also were searched and goods were found that had been taken from the third residence robbed.

Jake Goehnng sustained a broken nose and severe cuts about the head and face and Don Nolan an injury to his hip when a touring car driven by Kay Sevier plunged into the concrete abutment of a culvert two miles west of Barneston.
