State Engineer Will Save 7.OO0
Annually by New Tie llrldge
I Tons of Auto Plate
(By Special Cot respondent )
Lincoln, Nebr., September 22
State Engineer Johnson has a new
plan to save Nebraska $75,000 annu
ally. This plan hps been put Into
operation since Mr. Johnson took
charge of his department last aJnu
ary. On the North Platte bridge,
which Is TOO feet long, a saving of
nearly $10,000 was accomplished.
This was done by adopting a camels
back type Instead of a straight top
truss. As the last legislature appro
priated $160,000 for the current bl
nntuin state aid of bridges. It Is es
timated that fully 30 per cent will be
saved In the placing of such bridges,
whtgh will make the said appropria
tion accomplish a great deal more
-work In that line.
New and splendid qaarters have
been secured for the new supreme
court commissioners. This commis
sion consists of Grant O. Martin, of
Lincoln, W. C. Farrlott of Auburn
and F. O. McOIrr of eBatrice, all of
whom are now resident of the capl-
tol city. The new quarters are on
the third floor of the State House, In
the rooms formerly occupied by the
state engineer.
The automobile department of the
office of Secretary of State Charles
"W, Pool will move Into new quarters
In the basement of the State House
within a short time. This move was
' made necessary to do the work of
this department, and to accommodate
the storing away of about 70,000 au
tomobile plates for use In 1916.
These plates come In packages con
taining 100 each, the packages
weighing about 125 pounds. The to
tal number to be stored in December,
ready for use the first of January,
will consequently weigh more than
forty tons.
Of nearly four thousand foreign
and domestic corporations doing bus
iness in Nebra jka, who yearly pay an
annual occupation tax, about 650 are
delinquent on their Utx for 1915 at
this date. Letters are being prepar
ed by Secretary of State Charles W,
Pool notifying these corporations of
their delinquency and the addition
of a 15 per cent penalty for nonpay
ment of occupation tax. These let
ters will be sent out to the corpora
tions within a few days.
WANT AN EXPERT
JlealJng Plant Committee Thinks V.x
)Mrt Should lie Secured to
Draw up Plan
$250 would pay for the services of
ma expert beating engineer to draw
up the necessary plans tor the Instal
lation of a municipal heating plant
In Alliance, according to the commit
tee appointed by Mayor Roralg to in
vestigate the matter, which commit
tee reported their findings at a spec
ial meeting of the city council Mon
day night.
The plan Is to have the expert
6rae here, determine the possibili
ties of the plant, make plana and
specifications, and estimate the cost.
It would seem that this is the best
plan, as there would then be no
guesswork, and the committee and
the council would know exactly how
to proceed with the matter. Should
the concern making the plans secure
the contract, the $250 would be de
ducted from their bill. Already the
preliminary plans of the streets
through which the mains would pass
nave been sent to the company whose
expert may be employed to investi
gate the matter, together with a list
of the probable customers. From
these statistics, the expert will make
a preliminary estimate. Then the
committee will make a thorough can
vas of the town and determine what
business men would connect with the
steam main, either when It is first In
stalled or after, it has been proven a
success.
After" this work, has been done, all
the reports will be submitted to the
council, and definite action will be
taken at once. The plan Is to get to
work us soon as possible If the plan
Is feasible, so that the plant may be

KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
i
Take Ublespoonfol of Salts if Back
aorta or Bladder bothers Driak
lots of water.
'We are a nation of meat eaters and
ur blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidnry
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get alupgiiih; the eliminative tissue clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison tlie entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
lumps of lead, and you have. stinging
aina in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri
table, obliging you U seek relief during
tbe night; when you have severe bead
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless
smw, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four junees of Jad Salts; take a
tMeRxnful in a glasa of water before
breakfist each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
arrape aad lemon juice, combined with
ilithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate dogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
wo louger a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
is jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody eaa make
a mistak by taking a little occasionally
se keep the kidneys deaa and active.

pawnshop In Lincoln, "just across
from the postofllce .
Brenkley's liberty was very short.
From Alliance he went to East St.

ALIENS' NIGHT SCHOOL
Established by Police Matron Shar)
at Central School for Greeks
and Others
Under the supervision of Police
Matron Betty, Sharp there has been
opened an aliens night school in the
Central school building, the first les
son being given Monday night. The
work has started off in good shape,
and competent instructors have a
greed to donate their services. The
courses thus far are in reading, writ
Ing and arithmetic, and If sufficient
Interest is shown, there will probably
be additional classes.
This work has been under contem
platlon by Mrs. Sharp for the past
month. She has seen the good that
can be accomplished by such a school
If the Greeks and other foreigners
will show the proper interest, which
they surely should do when it costs
them nothing and is strictly for their
benefit. Colored people are also glv
en instruction. There are a number
of foreigners in this section, working
at different trades, and it is thought
that us soon as they all learn of the
new school it wll be well patronized

are going to that city to attend the
Home Day celebration. On the re
turn the train will leave Hynnls at

by Alliance time. The program is a
dandy and will furnish plenty of
amusement for all who at ten J. Hy

There are plenty of fake wild west
shows on the road now, but the real

Iteports are to the effect that the
old town Is going to be "wide open"
all day. eGt up early in the morn

train leaves Alliance.
'! Transferred
The rase of Mary A. Kinsley vs.
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad company, which was insti
tuted in district court a few weeks
ago, has been transferred to the
United States district court, and will
likely be tried at Chudron, but ow

bly not come to trial before next
year. The transfer was asked on the
ground that the action is one be
tween citizens of different states and
the request came from the attorneys

Economy Is a forceful word In modern business.'
Manufacturers and dealers -business men in every
line are trying to cut down expenses.
You realize the advantage the necessity of
controlling your accounts. And If you will consid

small Investment.

has not yet regained full use of the

Monday morning, but both her an
kles are not yet healed. Mrs. Wald
ron's left arm, which was broken, Is
mending nicely, but it was bruised In
so many places near the break that
it will require more time than usual
for it to heal completely. One thing
that retards the healing of the
wounds on all three Is the fact that
the machine lay on them for such a

why not make a little easy money by
buying a lot in FAIUVIEW Addition

A lot that you can probably buy
there on this date for $250 or $300
will undoubtedly Jump right up to
$600 or $700 within a year. Just
price lots, even further out, and see

and water mains as well as sewer
connections will all run out there as
soon as there is a demand. In fact,
the water line runs right by the ad

and lights, are only a block or so
away. There Is not another section
of this fast growing metropolis that
is so pleasant, so desirable and that
can be so nicely Improved and ar
ranged as this FAIUVIEW Addition.
This section could have been sold off
four or five years ago had the associ
