The Hay Sprint's ilerp ten monster,

by a few fortunate residents living1 in
WSe vicinity of the alkali lake where it
MLke its home, has been F-ocn aain,'
According to the Hay Springs News,
which jrives all the details that excited
bfiervers with excited imaginations
fan supply. This monster has caused,
wsiderable speculation the past two!
r three months. It has been positive-:
Jy identified as a jrray whale, such ns
re found in certain parts of the Paci
fic, by the lleminirforil editor, but
ttfhcrs think it might be a mermaid.!
Tllie last eye-witness has a theory that
it u a mud puppy that forgot to die
en iti natural span of life run out
had has continued on through four orj
five existences until it him reached its
Jwent abnormal dimensions. The
Jews says:
"Charles Hoefcr and wife and others

twelve feet long. Aa Boon as permis
sion Is granted by the state authori
ties to use a seine or other means of
aptune, titeps will be taken to capture
it.
"There seems to be no ,uest,ion now
wit what the fellow Is there. It has

Mine story to tell except that it worns
To be growing larger each time: This
i explained from the fact that it has
fccen accustomed to being watched rnd
Jore of its body being exposed. If
it isn't a whale its a whaler of an
-animal, any way.
"Rut Charlie has advanced another
idea. He says that he thinks it is n
tnml pup. Charlie never saw a mud
pup, he says, of the magnitude of this
oe, although ho has seen some that
were at least ten inches broad and a
yard long weighing about twenty-five
pounds. He also says that about five
years is the natural life time of a mud
pp but he sees no rea.-on why a mud
pup could not take a second or even
a third growth and develop into a

matter until further Information was
at hand and the merchants of the city

to bark the festival financially.
The harvest home festival was sug
gested by the success of a similar oc
casion held a short time ago at North
Platte. First reports were that the
Ford garage in that city had tfaged
the celebration, which was known as
"Fowl day," but according to letter re
ceived the first of the week by Harry
P. Courscy, who wrote for details, this
was not the case. All the merchants
of the city co-operated in the festival
and all of them unite in saying that
it was a great success. Mr. Coursey
received full details from North Platte
and these letters have been turned
over to officials of the Alliance cham
ber of commerce.
It is believed that a meeting of
merchants will be called to consider
the proposition and make a definite

LINCOLN Ncbra.-ka is now with
out a supreme court commission, for
the fir.-t tirno in six years. The body
known by that title went out of exis
tence on Thursday, by reason oi' the
last Icgi.-latures refusal to give it a
nt-w lea.-e of l fe. It was created fr
two years by the 1!)1" legi.-lature. In
1117 the legislature extended its ten

By rean of the fact that Commis

weeks before h's time was out, in or

office in a grand jury probe at Om

fund. Dorsey drew $."13 for his ser

while C W. Tibbrts and W. M. Cain
drew $0 each.
One of th? commisioners two steno

$.:0 for the first half of September,
and on Friday morning she went to
work in the department of finance,

Commissioner Tibbets will returr

Edith Wharton, the writer, told this
war story! "The American wounded
were being brought in from the sec
ond Maine battle," he paid, "and a
fussy American woman in a khaki
uniform and Sam Browne belt knelt
over a stretcher and said. Ms this case
nn oiricer or only a man?" The big
corporal who stood beside the stretch
er gave her a grim laugh and sa;d:
Well, lady, he ain't no officer, hot
he's been hit twice in the innards, both
legs busted, he's got two bullets in
both arm-", and we dropped him three
times without his lettin' out a squeak,
