John Alexander Dowie feels confi
dent that his new design of the na
tional emblem is an artistic Improve
ment over the Old Glory which the
forefathers fashioned. While the de
sign which Dowie has patterned is to
prevail In Zion City, Illinois, he has
no objection to Its being used in other
sections of the country. In the Dowie
design the field of blue has been dis
pensed with, but the stars and stripes
have been retained, as he nays they
are of national significance. Instead
of being crowded into a narrow mar
gin, the stars are extended In the
shape of a St. Andrew’s cross across
the whole banner. The stripes are
narrower than on the original emblem,
and are not woven so dose together.
Some time ago Dowie says he became
convinced that the national emblem
was faulty and inartistic, and he be
lieves his pattern is an improvement.
EXTRA CONGRESS
MAY BE CALLED TOGETHER
EARLY IN OCTOBER.
NO FINANCE MEASURE FRAMED
Senate Subcommittee Seeks Further
Expert Advice Before Acting—Bank
ers and Others to Be Consulted as
to a Bill.
OYSTER BAY, L. I.—President
Roosevelt’s conference with asubcom
mlttee of the senate finance commit
tee was not concluded until the small
hours of Friday morning. The whole
subject of financial legislation at the
appropachlng session of congress was
discussed thoroughly.
The committee, consisting of Sena
tors Aldrich, chairman; Platt, Connec
ticut; Allison and Spooner did not
present even a tentative draft of a cur
rency bill to the president, although
some propositions which subsequent
ly, may be embodied in the measure
were reduced to concrete form.
No definite conclusions as to the
shape of the proposed legislation were
reached. The conference related rath
er to methods of procedure in the
work at hand than to the form of the
legislation.
At 7:30 Thursday morning the mem
bers of the committee left Sagamore
Hill, boarded their yacht, Vergena,
and sailed for Providence on their
return to Senator Aldrich’s home. One
fact of distinct importance was de
veloped at the conference. While an
extraordinary session of congress next
fall is assured it has not been deter
mined definitely whether it will be
called to meet in October or in No
vember.
It has been supposed that the ex
traordinary session would convene on
Monday, November 9, but the indica
tions now are that it will be called
for an earlier date, perhaps several
weeks earlier.
The primary purpose of the extraor
dinary session will bo to enact legls
lation making operative the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, but financial legis
lation wil lalso be pressed' upon the
attention of congress soon after it con
venes.
Andre Relic Discovered.
VANCOUVER, B. C.—What is un
doubtedly a relic of the ill-starred
Andre expedition was brought to Van
couver by a returning mining pros
pector who has spent four years in
the wilds of the Mackenzie basin,
lie arrived here on Monday, brining
with him n portion of the silk used in
the construction of Andre's balloon.
Sugar Trust Reaches Out.
SAGINAW, Mich.—A deal was con
sumed here whereby the American
Sugar Refining company of New York
has acquired a one-half interest in
the Valley Sugar factory, one of the
largest in the Saginaw valley. The
company is capitalized at $500,000.
Aids Kansas City Grain Men.
KANSAS CITY—The Santa Fe an
nounced that it will transport grain to
and through Kansas City, thus afford
ing relief to the grain men, who uave
been unable to ship grain. Tho Santa
Fe will deliver cars to the Burlington,
Wabash, Missouri Pacific and Kansas
City Southern, a recent order against
these roads having been rescinded.
The decision is conditional ou the
prompt return of cars which ether
roads have received.
WOULD SHOW RANGE CATTLE.
Stockmen Anxious to Have World's
Fair Order Rescinded.
DENVER, Colo.—A meeting Is be
ing held in this city for the purpose
of making an active fight to secure
the rescinding of the order prohibit
ing the exhibition of range cattle at
the St. Louis World’s fair. The cam
paign was started in July by the Colo
rado Cattle and Horse Growers’ as
sociation, when notices were mailed
to all the states within the boundaries
of the Louisiana purchase calling for
a conference of cattle raisers, and at
tomorrow’s session it is said that rep
resentatives from all these states will
be in attendance.
The plan is to appoint a committee
to meet with Chief Commissioner Cor
burn of St. Louis to urge him to can
cel the order against range cattle. If
the committee is unsuccessful in this
regard the members will wait upon
President Roosevelt and urge him to
give his aid to the proposition. It is
announced that replies have been re
ceived from every state to which
notices of the meeting were mailed
and that the purpose of the meeting
has been unanimously endorsed.
TAFT DENIES THE RUMOR.
Says that He is Not to Succeed Secre
tary Root.
MANILA—When the news arrived
here by cable that Secretary Root of
the war department would be forced
to resign the portfolio by his duties
as a member of the Alaskan bound
ary commission, about to meet in
London, his resignation to take effect
under certain conditions in December
next, if not sooner, a reception was
taking place at the palace in honor
of Major General George W. Davis,
until recently in command of the divi
sion of the Philippines and now on
the retired list.
Governor Taft who was present,
when shown the statement contained
in this dispatch, that he would suc
ceed Secretary Root upon his retire
ment, laughingly replied that the re
port was untrue. Later on, when a
second message was received confirm
ing an alleged offer of an appointment,
the governor denied the'statement in
similar terms.
SEEK A NEW CUSTOMS LAW.
Importers Will Ask Congress to Make
Important Changes. *
NEW YORK—In order to relieve
importers from onerous exactions by
the present customs administration
acts, efforts will be made at the com
ing session of congress to amend tho
act in several important features.
Plans to that end are being made
by importers and merchants. The
matter is in charge of a general com
mission consisting of the representa
tives of about fifty leading lines of
trade.
A bill embodying the changes desir
ed will be introduced in congress, but
the commission probably will not be
able to make announcement of tho
contemplated changes until after con
ferences with Secretary Shaw.
Herder Slogged to Death.
DUPYER, Mont.—Fourteen masked
men. supposed to be cattlemen, took
a herder from Joe Sturgeon’s sheep
camp, and, carrying him ten miles
Into the mountains, tied him to a tree
and whipped him to death. They also
shot many of the herder’s sheep and
drove the remainder away. Sheriff
Taylor and a posse are in pursuit of
the whitecaps, and it is feared there
will be trouble when the two forces
meet.

PAY OF THE SCHOOL TEACHER.
Does It Go On if School is Closed by
Board of Health.
The point is raised in an appeal to
the supreme court from Sherman
county whether a school teacher's pay
goes on .when his school has been
closed by the board of health. Henry
<j.oward has w'on in his contention that
it does, in both justice and district
courts, but the board is stubborn in
its stand.
Henry was employed to teach the
school for nine months in the visage
of Ashton, Sherman "county, begin
ning September 3, 1900, at $60 a
month. He was employed by B. Luka
azewski as acting director, Able Sak
as acting treasurer, and Andrew
Garstka as moderator. After he had
taught for eight months and for one
day on the ninth the board of health
and the village board passed resolu
tions prohibiting the holding of meet
ings in the town, and asking that the
schools be 61osed because of an epi
demic of smallpox in the state, some
cases having appeared in Ashton.
Then it was that the board directed
that the schools be closed, and paid off
the teacher for the eight months
taught. He was not satisfied, and
brought suit for the other $50, as well
as for $16 alleged to be due for jan
itor services. Later on the board ask
ed him to go ahead and teach the
other month, but his contract time had
expired, and he declined. The board
thereupon made a tender in court of
the $16 for janitor services, but Hen
ry recovered judgment in both the
Justice’s and district court for the en
tire amount claimed under contract.
GAME LAWS OF NEBRASKA.
Steps Being Taken for Rigidly Enforc
ing the Same.
LINCOLN—State Game Warden
Carter has just returned from a tour
of the Counties in the extreme west
ern part of the state, looking for of
fenders against the game laws and
appointing a number of deputies,
whose duty it will be to keep a look
out for poachers. Mr. Carter during
his journey found that there was a
popular misconception among hunters
as to the open season this year when
quail and prairie chicken may be kill
ed. The legislature of two years ago
passed a law prohibiting the shooting
of quail until the fall of 1903, when
the open season on these birds be
gins on November 1 arid continues
for one month only. The chicken sea
son begins October 1 and continues
until the end of November, whereas
the old law permitted the shooting of
chickens beginning with September 1
and lasting four months. Many of the
hunters figured that because the law
permitted the killing of quail in the
fall of 1903 that the law as to the
chicken season was also amended so
as to allow chicken shooting during
September; but this notion, states the
chief game warden, is a serious mis
take. Mr. Carter has instructed his
corps of deputies to rigidly enforce
the law against chicken shooting in
September and all offenders will en
counter a stiff prosecution if they ven
ture into the fields until October 1.
Birds are reported to be numerous in
the western counties and Game War
den Carter predicts some fine sport
for those who abide by the law.
Struck Dead by Lightning.
WYMORE — Charley Clayton, a
prominent young farmer living two
miles west of this city, was instantly
killed by lightning. He was unhitch
ing a span of mules under a tree in
the yard at home when the bolt de
scended, killing him and one of the
mules.
Inspect Normal Site.
KEARNEY—The state board of ed
ucation was in the city for the purpose
of inspecting the proposed site for
the new normal school. A reception
and supper were tendered the visitors
by the citizens of the city.
Appointments by the Governor.
Governor Mickey has announced
the reappointment of Mrs. H. H.
Wheeler of Lincoln as a member of
the visiting and examining board to
the home for the friendless.
People who learn nothing from ex
perience seldom complete their edu
cation.
Smuggling Morphine Into Prison.
LINCOLN—Roy Hahn, who was re
leased from the penitentiary last Sun
day morning, was arrested upon be
ing caught in an attempt to smuggle
morphine to his former fellow pris
oners. He was later released, as
there is no statute covering his of
fense, and he is out of the jurlsdic
tion of the prison authorities. Consid
erable trouble is given the warden and
his aids at the pen by people smug
gling drugs to the prisoners.

Harry Hickson of Plattsmouth, 21
years of age, was placed under arrest
charged with obtaining money on a
forged order. The complaining wit
ness in the case is Mark White. Hick
son has already served a one-year
term in the penitentiary for a similar
offense committed in that city.
Twice as much money has been paid
into the treasury of Loup county for
taxes the first six months of 1903 than
has ever been paid in a like period of
time since the organization of the
county. This is considered substantial
evidence of the fact that the taxpay
ers of Loup county are prospering.
Dodge county farmers do not ex^
pect more than two-thirds of a crop
of corn, as conditions now stand. The
cool weather and heavy rains have set
so much corn back that a part of the
crop will not mature before frost time,
while some of the rest will not fertil
ize arid fill properly.
A. J. Peterson, a Burlington freight

sleeping.
The farming section of Custer coun

key opens a closet ample enough forf

were opened the articles cannot be
hurried away with by anyone but tha^
owner. ^

Nelson Morris was a peddler in Con

sheep in a small town in Massachu

buy transportation to California byl i
ship in the days of the gold fever,
traveled overland from Oneida, N. Y., '
most of the way on foot. He made
a few dollars on the Pacific coast dig-*

nearly $100,000,000 between them.
ABOUT COMPLEXIONS.
Food Makes Them Good or Bad.
Saturate the human body with
strong coffee and it will in time show
in the complexion of the coffee,
drinker.
This is caused by the action of
coffee on the liver, thus throwing part
pf the bile into the blood. Coffee
complexions are sallow and muddy
and will stay that way until coffee is
given up entirely.
' The sure way to recover rosy cheeks
and red lips is to quit coffee and drink
Postum Food Coffee which makes red
blood. "I had been for more than 20
years an inveterate coffee drinker*
and* it is absolutely true that I had
so completely saturated myself with
this drug that my complexion toward
the last became perfectly yellow and
every nerve and fibre in me was
affected by the drugs in coffee.
"For days at a time I had been
compelled to keep to my bed on ac
count of nervous headache and stom
ache trouble and medicines did not
give me any relief. I had never con
sulted a physician in regard to my
headaches and terrible complexion
and I only found out the cause of
them after I commenced the use of
Postum which became known to me
through Grape-Nuts. We all liked the
food Grape-Nuts and it helped us so
we thought Postum must certainly
have merit and we concluded to try
it. We found it so delicious tha^^ve
continued the use altogether althoSjgh
I never expected it to help my health.
“After a few months my headaches
were all. gone and my complexion had
cleared wonderfully then I knew that
my troubles had been caused by cof
fee and had been cured when I left
off coffee and drank Postum in its
place.” Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum will change the blood of
any coffee drinker and rosy cheeks
and health take the place of a yellow
skin and disease.
