(Py Herald Correspondent)
Lincoln, Nebr., July 7The Hotel
Commission has been busy tbla week
Bending out notlcea to all tbe hotela
In the state calling their attention to
the fact that a reglstiatlon fee of two
dollars Is due. This notice Is sent
to all hotels, restaurants, rooming
and apartment houses In the state.
The deputy hotel commissioner,
Phil. Ackerman, Issued an order to
the Commercial hotel at Franklin to
either close the place or clean up and
has recelred word that they will re
model the place at a big expense
This will be quite a boost to the
town. The commissioner has also
tent out fourteen notices this week
to different hotels In the state to
clean up. The tendency among the
hotel men over the state la to com
ply with the requirements of the
law. Quite a noticeable change for
the better is being observed. In this
work the department has bad the co
operation of the traveling men and
the hotel comm'tteeman of tbe U. C.
T. Mr. E. E. Abbott or Beatrice has
been devoting all his spare time to
ibis work.
There is under the personal sup
ervision of Deputy Fire Commission
er Rid doll, 600 special deputies,
which Mr. Rldgell has recruited from
the ranks of the volunteer fire de
partments of the state and this has
been found to be quite a potent force
In preventing fire loss In tbe state of
Nebraska. Mr. Rldgell has made It
a point to become personally ac
quainted with every fire department
man In the, state. June 19 this de
partment got out a Fourth of July
bulletin, calling attention to tbe
Fourth of July dangers and stating
that In the past ten years 39.808
people have been killed In Fourth of
July celebrations. This notice was
mailed to all the newspapers In the
state and the chiefs of the different
fire departments and Is In line with
tbe safe and sane Fourth of July,
which Is being advocated all over the
country. This department Is called
upon to make Inspections of every
town In the state, and among the
towns recently Inspected have been
Harvard, Nelson, Aurora, Ralston
and Edgar. An Idea of the work
done by this department taken from
tbe yearly report Is that 200 towns
were visited In 1914 and 11,522 in
spections made.
In response to a letter from the ed
itors of the International
very scene of the conflict and pow
der-burning. It may be that the
same conditions exist there, and that
no mention of It has been made In
the dispatches.
Col. Willard Evans, of Marsland,

tions during the civil war.

fund containing at this time $1,020,

that I had best telegraph for my fam- j Evidence of the former presence here
lly. Instead of .doing so, I gave the or Bea water Is found in the fossil
hotel porter fifty cents and told him
to buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, and take no substitute. I took
a double dose according to the di
rections and went to sleep after the
second dose. At 5 o'clock the next
morning I was called by my order
and took a train for my next stop
ping point, a well man but feeling
rather shaky from the severity of
shells of oysters and other animals
that live In salt water and the bones
of such sea monsters as Mosasaurus.
A comparison of these ancient con
ditions with those of the present day
Indicates the slow continuous change
that Is now and always has been In
progress. Where the tourist now
travels comfortably over a dry plain,
these monsters sported In the water
of the sea long ages ago. On the
"greed" love of money and fame,
and tt Is woven around what Is
known as the "Diamond from the
Sky", a diamond which comes to
earth in a huge meteor two centuries
ago. The arrival of this diamond
saves the life of a wealthy Virginia
scion who la captured by the Indians
The meteor falls to earth Just as the
Indians are ready to burn the Vir
glnlan at the stake, and the redskins,
thinking It Is tbe visitation of divine
wrath, set the prisoner free. From
that time for a hundred years, the
possession of this valuable stone
seems to rbing bad luck to Its pos
sessor, although all connected with
the story try to gain possession of it
This is the plot of the story, and to
state that It is original and full of
thrills Is putting It rather mildly.
There Is a cast of players seldom
seen in one picture. Miss Lottie
Plckford and William Russell take
the leading parts, and they are sup
ported by the best players In the film
world. The story will be run serial
ly each week In the Herald, so that
it can be read each Thursday and
seen at the New theatre each Mon
day. In that way, those who read
the story can Interpret each scene
and action. One of the thrillers was
shown Monday night when Arthur
Stanley, who was wanted for a mur

the possession of the diamond, made

If you have red blood in your
veins, and want to read a story that
Is "different" and which Is full of ac
tion from the beginning until the
end, "The Diamond from the Sky" Is
what you are looking for.
A few more words regarding the
$10,000 will not be amiss here. This
amount Is offered to the person who
writes the best sequel to the story,
regardless of his or her social stand
ing, or whether It be man, woman or
child. The story need not contain
more than one thousand words, and
no literary ability is required all
that Is wanted is a plot that will ex
plain lucidly the fate of the diamond.
It will be remembered that a poor
girl, a stenographer, In St. Louis,
won the $10,000 prize offered for the
solution of the "Million Dollar My
