CLERK MICKEY HAS A PLAN.
New Method Jo Bookkeeping for In
stitutions. L.INCOI.N Chief Clerk Mickey of
the governor's office has a lan fur a
uniform system of bookkeeping for
all the state Institutions and has sent
it Invitations Jo bookkeepers of the
stltutlons to meet together In Lin
coln Wednesday. September J. for the
purpose of dismissing the feasibility
of putting some such plan into oper
ation. Mr. Mickey has figured out a com
bination record and ledger which Is to
be substituted in each of the Insti
tutions for the ones now n use. At
the top of the page of the new book
will be a statement of the fund un
der which the itnms entered will
come and the appropriation made for
the fund. The columns of the book
will contain in rder a spac for the
date, nam; and claimant, number of
the voucher, amount of the voucher.
number of the warrant, date of pay
ment, amount of warrant, amount of
the appropriation expended, the bal
ance ol the appropriation left and geu
eral remarks.
Heretofore each Institution has bad
Its own system of bookkeeping. The
chief clerk audits all the accounts of
the institutions every month and he
ba.H found it rather difficult to keep
track of the various systems used.
Nugest'iona will bo asked for from
the various members at the confer
ence and it Is possible that the
scheme worked out by Mr. Mickey will
be altered to some extent.

PERSIANS WANT OLD TIMES.
Mohammedan Leaders Serve Notice
on Shah.
BERLIN. The Christian Orient, a
German missionary paper published
in Berlin, prints correspondence from
Teheran, alleging that the leaders of
the Persian Mohammedan church
have served notice on the shah that,
unless he purges the country of the
foreign religions and commercial in
fluences, especially British and Rus
sian, the church will precipitate a
revolution.
The church leaders also demand
that the shah restore the religious
and economic conditions which pre
vailed in Persia a century ago. Th6
correspondent says the anti-foreign
movement is not directed against the
Germans, because the natives are
convinced that Germany has no politi
?al intentions and that they consider
Turko-American friendship to be a
forerunner of good feeling tov.ard
Germany throughout the Mohamnie-
ian world.

to take further steps to insure the
island of Fernando Po coming Into
the possession of Germany whenever
Spain is ready to dispose of It. Major
Morgen says:
"If the island were to fall into the
hands of a military and naval power
like Great Britain, it would consti
tute a wedge in our flesh, such as
we have permitted to be driven Into
us at many points, but which

American Warships Are on Their Way to Turkish Waters-Vice Consul
Madelssen Not Assassinated. Thoudh the Attempt Was Made.
The report that William C. Magels-
. i x
ken. United States vice consul si
Beirut, Syria, was killed, happily
proves to have been an error. An at
tempt to assassinate him was made,
but the bullets fired by his unknown
assailant did not touch him.
The fact that assassination was at
tempted, however, and that Ameri
cans in other parts of the sultan s
domain are reported to be in peril
owing to another outbreak of fanatic
ism, is held by the cabinet at Wash
ington to justify the President In his
determination to permit the small
European squadron to continue on its
wav to Turkish waters. The presence
rf these warships close to the scene of
Turkish outbreaks will not be a men
ace necessarily and may serve to
expedite the motions of the Turkish
government, which is usually dilatory
in granting any demands that are not
backed up by a show of force.
The gravity of the situation in the
Balkans, it is thought, will render
the sultan particularly anxious to pla
cate and pacify the United States.
There is no doubt that at bottom the
Syrian assassination and the Macedo
nian troubles are traceable to the
same cause. Unfortunately the solu
tion of the Balkan problem would not
remove the constant danger to which

foreign missionaries and residents are
ox nosed in Asiatic Turkey. Mr. Glad
stone passionately advocated the ex
pulsion of the Turk from Europe, "bag
and baggage." and sooner or later, all
statesmen agree, that remedy will
l ave to be applied by the selfish and
badly divided "concert." But we can
not hope for the complete destruction

cf missionary activity in Turkey is as
serious as that of the Chinese mis
sions. Meantime our right to amends
and reparation, the state department
realizes, must be enforced with the
utmost resolution compatible with
sense and self-respect.
An urgent appeal has reached the
state department from the American
board of missions at Boston that Im

According to Prof. H. Marion, a

In time, he predicts, libraries will

printing will be a lost art.
Prof. Marion Is an advocate, with
Profs. Scripture of Yale, Cusachs of
Annapolis and De Sumichrast of Har

method of teaching the lan
guages. "In time." he declares,
"these disks will take the place of
text-books. Paper-backed novels will
disappear, and instead of reading
printed books the litterateur will only
have to put a disk in his talking ma
chine and have the novel read to
him in the living voice of its creator."

United States Senator Allen G.

While this country I not likely to de

full protection for all Its officials, and
Turkey may be called upon to saiute

Loomis said:

purpose of demanding an apology or
satisfaction for the attempt on the
life of one of its officials, but for the
purpose of protecting the lives of

danger. All foreign ministers at Con
stantinople have notified their gov

resentatives the situation is extreme

The British foreign office states
that Great Britain certainly will not

other power will raise an objection to
summary action on the part of the
