Governor Hughes of New York is
the only state executive who has had
the hardihood to jeopardize his pop
ularity by vetoing the two-cent pas
senger bill. The situation in New
York is different than in most other
states and a two-cent law there would
mean a different thing than it does in ,
Nebraska. It would mean the rais
ing instead of lowering of rates in
the most thickly populated section of '
the state as the passenger rate is ,
already considerably below two cents. ;
Attorney General Thompson has
knocked the wind out of the railroads.
Threats have been rumbling from
railroad headquarters ever since the
adjournment of the legislature that
they were going to “bust” the freight
rate and passenger laws. Mr. Thomp
son has called their bluff and fore
stalled an attack upon the sovereign
powers of the state by obtaining an
order from thesupreme court restrain
ing four threatening companies from
disobeying the freight and passenger
laws, the anti-pass law and defying
the railway commission. Thompson
turned a smooth trick on the railroads
that they were quite unprepared for.

There is one thing that will
cure it—Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
It is a regular scalp-medicine.
It quickly destroys the germs

The unhealthy scalp becomes

healthy scalp means a great deal

Alterations in Highways Laws.
Llncon News: The late legislature
passed a number of new laws which
will, it is believed, bring about a great
improvement in the highways of the
state. The legislation enacted is not
as comprehensive as could have been
wished,but it is a good start and will
doubtless followed by more far reach
ing laws when the next session con
venes.
A large number of road laws were
introduced, most of them being of a
very meritorious character, but dis
greement between members from
counties under the township organ
ization brought about the defeat of
some of them, although all agreed
that nowhere was there greater room
for improvements than in statues re
lating to public highways.
One of the most important changes
made was to provide that poll taxes
shall be payable in cash, $2 50 per
year. The old system of working out
this tax on the road has always been
more or less of a farce and it is
thought the new system will produce
double the result of the old. Another
law provides that all grading shall be
done between April 1st, and October
1st, when the ground is as a rule in
best condition to be moved.
More revenue for road work is pro
vided. County boards may levy road
tax in cities and villages as well as in
road districts, half the same to be
expended on county roads and the
Dther half by the village board or city
;ouncil, within the corparate limits.
Upon petition of a majority of the
the freeholders in a road district, the
jounty board may make a levy of from
j to 25 mills to be used exclusively
upon the roads in that district.
An unusally important law is that
which empowers city authorities to
make a two-mill levy, the revenue
there from to be known as a munici
pal highway fund and to be used in
mproving main trunk line roads
eading into the city for a distance of
dx miles. Another law provides for

Danger Attends Crossing Legs.
A Philadelphia physician warns the
public against sitting with one leg
crossed over the other.
“This apparently harmless habit,”
he says, “is likely to cause sciatica,
lameness, chronic numbness, ascend
ing paralysis, cramps, varicose veins
and their evils,including appendicitis.
The back of the knee, as well as the
front of the elbow and wrist, the groin
and the armpit, contains nerves and
blood vessels which are less protected
than those in otiier parts of the body.
The space behind the knee contains
two large nerves, a larger artery and
numerous veins and glands. It is the
pressure on these nerves and vessels
which is apt to give rise to the various
troubles against which 1 give warn
ing.” _____

Standard Bred, thoroughbred, and
Pure Bred.
A Nebraska correspondent writes
Wallaces Farmer:
“ Will you please tell me what is the
difference between Standard bred,
thoroughbred, and pure bred horses?
Also the different breeds of trotting
stock.”
Standrand bred is the name applied
to the American trotting horses
which conform to the standard estab
lished by the American Trotting
Horse Registry, and are consequently
entitled to registration in the stud
book issued by that association.
Thoroughbred properly applies to the
breed of running horses, but the term
Is frequently used in an incorrect way
in speaking of other breeds of horses.
For example, it is not uncommon to
hear the expression thoroughbred
Shire, or thoroughbred Percheron, or
thoroughbred Short horn. This is an
improper use of the term. It should
be used only when it is desired to refer
to the thoroughbred horse as a breed.
Pure bred, or pure blood, is used when
it is desired to state that the animal
in question is of pure breeding and
entitled to registry in the stud book
ar herd book of that breed. For ex
ample, we speak of the pure bred Per
ffieron pure bred Shire, or pure bred
Short-horn 'or Angus, meaning that
the animal is of pure breeding and is
entitled to registry in the herd book
:>f the breed to which it belongs.

Relief from Rheumatic Pains.
The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
aliment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the

cause the lost of a limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments. Suc
cess often depends upon prompt treat

suitable medicines are kept at hand.
