'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?

HOT ENOUGH CHILDREN
vei receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
train during the growing period when
suture's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
fle faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
&d lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
nnmisukable earnestness: They need
ficotfs Emulsion, and need it now. It
posses-ies in concentrated form the very

changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

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.

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.

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.
Send for our catalog Number 3. It will not cost jou a cent.
