DOINGS AT LINCOLN Governor of Nebraska IVe Not Take Money for t'pkeep of EieciUlve lnnlii Pays Own i:Mnws (By Herald Correspondent) Lincoln, Nebr., June 30 Assess ment returns are beginning to come In at tne omee or u. t.. iiprnTK necretary of the slate board of equ iiiilnn Qiwl naiiocmpnl Thus I er, Hai fa r . i v 1 1 - a a - . ti ..

'Mute i lie state purchased an ex ecutive mansion for the governor's residence, some 16 years ago, It has been the rule for each legislature to rrroprlate a liberal sum for upkeep of the mansion. Governor Morehead etoed this appropriation two years fro and none was made this yar. He bas steadfastly refused to accept any "perquisites of ofllce" and lives In the same democratic way that he liv ed In Falls City prior to becoming thief executive of Nebraska. Hlch and poor alike are welcomed at the executive mansion, and neither the governor nor his family "put on airs." They live a quiet, whole- stmo ilomnprotlr' unci Phrintlnn llfp which has done much to endear them to the people. Administration of the new auto mobile registration law by Secretary of State Charles W. Pool Is develop Ing some interesting possibilities Each automobile owner Is required to pay an annual license fee of $3 to 4he treasurer of his county. Thirty fire cents of this comes to the state treasurer for use of the secretary of state's automobile department, and the secretary la required to Issue a license to the owner and supply him with a number plate. Secretary Pool estimates that In 1916 he will need at least 70,000 number plates for the year s llcens es. At present he buys plates of a Chicago concern, because no Nebras ka Institution seems able to produce them. In view of next year's needs, Mr. Pool has asked Hon. Henry Oerdes, one of the board of com mis loners for state Institution, if It Is not possible for the state penitenti ary to put In a small enameling plant, punch presses, dies, etc., and make the number plates. Mr. Gerdes was delighted with the Idea, and will present It to his board for careful consideration. The School Apportionment "The proof of the pudding," rnus n old adage, "it in chewing the tring." Whether this be true is of mall Importance, but It is Important for the people of Nebraska to know Just how well they are served by their chosen public oclals. When the dally papers announced that the June schooffil apportionment Is away over four hundred thousand dollars that might not mean much if any thing to many, because there was nothing with which to make com uarlson. But a different light Is thrown on the subect when we learn thaj the June, 1915, school apportionment under Democratic state government Is nearly 35 per cent greater than the largest of five former apportion ments December, 1912. to Decern ber. 1914. inclusive; that It Is 40 per cent greater than the average of toe five; and more than 35 per cent larger than the average June appor tionment under Kepubllcan rule. Here are the figures: December. 1912 $328,104.48 June. 1913 344.474.11 December. 1913 325.078.24 June. 1914 349.254.56 December, 1914 332.421.62 Fice apportionments un der Republican rule $1,679,333.01 Average Republican ap portionment 335.866.60 June, 1915 (Democratic) 470.637.04 Increase, 1915 .... $134,770.44 Inasmuch as the June apportion tnent is always somewhat larger than that of December, fairness requires comparison of June with June, as given below: June. 1913 344.474.11 June. 1914 349.254.56 Average June Republic an apportionment ... 346,864.33 June, 1915 (Democratic) 470.637.04 Increase, 1915 .... $123,772.7 This is 35.4 per cent Increase ov er tne average for June. 1913. an 1914. Worth considering. Isn't it? Credit for this remarkable 1 n- crease In school funds is due th fcoard of educational lands and fund and especially to Stat Tr E. Hall.

DEFRANCE, HUGH L. COOPER. . State House, Lincoln, Nebraska GUILTY OF MANY MURDERS Negro Who Wns Hanged at Hirmlng- linm, Ala., Int Friday Kill ed Three at Crawford Syd Jones, a negro, who was bang ed at Birmingham, Ala., last Friday left a note In his cell In which he confessed thirteen murders. Two of the victims, a Mobile & Ohio brake' man and Crawford deputy marshal were white men the others were negroes, Mexicans and Indians Jones expressed regret that he did not "get" another man he was after as he said in the note that he want d to make the total an even nunv ber. The following communication from Crawford substantiates Joens story regarding the killing of three men there one of whom was a dep uty marshal: Syd Jones, the negro who, before being hanged at Birmingham, Ala bama, yesterday confessed to killing three men at this place, probably told the truth In part only. The only Instance known where three men were killed at one time was in a riot between the Tenth cavalry, com posed of negro soldiers, and local of nctals, and It Is supposed that Jones referred to this slaughtering. The nan-e of one of Jones' victims Is glv en by him as Deputy Sheriff Moseley One of the officials killed In the riot referred to was Deputy Marshal Art Moss of Crawford. If Jones laid claim to killing the other two men who died suddenly that night, he was engaged In vain glory. As recalled by residents of Crawford, the clrcum stances were: At that time the Tenth cavalry was stationed at Fort Robinson Some of the troopers had a grudge against the Moss boy.j because of their winning of a race. A few weeks after the race tbe marshal o Crawford was called out of town and deputized Art Moss, noi Moseley, to serve as deputy marshal during his absence. On a Sunday evening several of the colored troopers were down on the banks of the river drinking. Lat er they came up town nnd created a disturbance. The police were called and Deputy Marshal Art Moss re sponded. While parleying with the soldiers a citizen called out: "Don't let them get the drop on you, Art." At once the soldiers opened fire, killing Moss. They at once fled. Im mediately a crowd of citizens started In pursuit, shooting one of them dead on the reservation near the edge of town. Another of the sol diers took refuge In a barn loft. The citizens dragged him from his hiding place and placed him In Jail. The report came that other color ed troopers had secured arms and were coining to shoot up the town, which only Infuriated the citizens more. Fearing a lynching, a guard was sent from Fort Robinson to protect the Jail. On their 4 arrival In town the troops formed a guard around the Jail. While they wele on duty a man by the name of Phil Murphy came running along and turned into the alley leading to the Jail guarded by the troopers. He was not aware of their presence and when they call ed on him to halt it only frightened him the more, as shots had been heard all around the town. Instead of obeying the command to bait he continued running and the troopers on guard, believing he was making for the Jail, opened fire, kill ing him instantly. He was the third man killed that night. When morn ing came the Intense excitement had somewhat abated and the trooper in Jail was finally tried and found guil ty and sentenced to the penitentiary. The Syd Jones referred to in the dispatch possibly was in the crowd of colored troopers that killed Art Moss, for the records show a trooper by that nan-e was connected with the Tenth cavalry.

No. 1 Adv 5265 NEW LANDS OPENED Secretary of Interior lMie Orders 0HMilng Many Thousand of Ae ro to HonteMend Kettlement Secretary of the Interior Lane has recently made an order which will open to entry on July 10, 1915, un der the enlarged homestead act. more than 370,000 acres of nonlrri gabl land In New Mexico, the great er portion being located In Valencia. Grant and Sierra counties. The president, on the recommen dation of Secretary Lane, recently IB sued a proclamation excluding ap proximately 86.630 acres of land from the Santa Barbara National for est, California. This land, which is located In the Los Angeles land dist rict, Is a strip thirty miles In length. varying between three and eight miles In width, and comprises what Is known as the Santa Clara river and Custalc Canyon areas. It con sists of open valley, bench land, and rolling hills, and is either barren or covered with bruh. The agricultur al possibilities thereof are limited be cause of the lack of water for irriga tion and domestic use. It is estimat ed that about 51,860 acres are pub lic and unwithdrawn, and 640 acres are unsurveyed. The president has also issued a proclamation excluding 160.235 ac res from the Eequoia National forest. California. These lands, which are In the Vlsalia land district, lie along the entire western boundary of the reservation In Fresno and Tulare counties in the foot hills of the Slerre Nevada mountains, and consist of grass and brush covered hills, being chiefly valuable for agriculture and grazing. It Is estimated that about 67,930 acres thereof in scattered ar eas will become subject to settlement and entry under this proclamation, of which 6,470 acres are unsurveyed. These lands withdrawn from nat ional forests will become subject to settlement under the homestead laws from 9 o'clock a. m., August 11, 1915, until and including September 7, 1915, and thereafter to entry and disposition under the laws' applica ble thereto. During the month of May, 1915, Secretary Lane made the first orders designating under the enlarged homestead act lands in Kansas, af fecting 240,000 acres. The first large designation of lands In South Dakota was also approved opening to entry 1,634,000 acres of land in that state. Orders of designation in Mon tana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Or egon. Washington, and Wyoming, af fecting about 500,000 acres, were al so made, bringing the total area classified during the month up to 2, 380,000 acres. The enlarged home stead act has now been extended to about 235,000,000 acres In fourteen western states. During the month of May, 1915, a number of tracts In Idaho, aggre gating about 5,800 acres, were In cluded In reserves as public watering places, because of the value of the lands in controlling the public range through springs and other sources of water for stock situated thereon. Some of these withdrawals were re quested by large numbers of local stockmen, who found that their ac quisition by private Interests might endanger the free use of tbe public range. Motorcycles Kace to Cont A coast to coast motorcycle relay will start from New York on July 17, in which 117 riders will participate In carrying a message from President Wilson to San Francisco, says the Omaha Bee. The cross country has been divided Into thirty-nine relays, with the approximate distance of ninety miles each. Three riders will take part in each relay. One will be designated to carry the message, and in case of accident to htm the second man will continue with the dispatch, and If he is delayed the third rider will take It. The object is to make the fastest possible time across the continent. The route for the dis patch will be through central New York to Chicago, then to Sterling, III., over tbe Lincoln Highway. From there tbe course will be over the Rock River route to Omaha, then by way of the Lincoln Highway to Og den. Utah, and by the Overland trail to Reno. From Reno the course will be over the Lincoln Highway by way ; of Sacramento to San Francisco. The riders through Nebraska have not yet been designated. The mayor of New York, who went west to shoot bears, did not succeed In catching one. He ought to go back to the Wall Street burg and try his luck, nearer home.

I Over 90 pur cent of Business Men Fail Men fail in business because they do not know the game. They lack system and a thorough knowledge of their business. The reason why so many would-be farmers fail is because they know little or nothing of the science of farming. They think anybody can farm and then are surprised to find that their crops will not grow. The farmer who is always behind, who always has bad luck with his crops, is the man who farms by guess and trusts to luck. If he were in the mercantile business he would be in the hands of a receiver within a year. He is a failure but he hangs on because the poorest farmer can get a living out of the land if he only plows and sows the seed. An Agricultural Education The first thing a young man who intends to go into busi ness should do is to take a course in a business college. Here he can become familiar with the first principles of business, without which he will fail. The first thing a man who expects to farm should do is to take a course in an agricultural college, if he can, but if he has not the time or the money to spend in a . two-year course, he can get the same instruction at home by taking a course in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soil Culture. Everything is furnished books and all at a very slight cost, and the best thing about it, he does not have to leave the farm or his work. He can choose from the following courses: Soli Improvement Course Cereal Culture Course Horticultural Course Dry Farming Course Small Fanning Course Farm Engineering Course Soil Tillage Course Summer is the time to study agriculture, and the farm and garden is the laboratory in which to work out the problems. Don't wait for fall or winter to begin, but get bsuy now. You will learn more in one summer applying your instruction in th fields than in a dozen winters sitting by the fire.
