AFTER JULY FIRST ALL
GIFT ENTERPRISES QUIT

With Goods Bought.
By request we give the follow
ing law, which was passed bv the
last legislature and signed by the!
governor, and which will go into
effect July I. II is the act for
bidding "gift enterprises." The
purpose of this measure is to do
away with I he giving of premiums
to purchasers of oilier goods.
The bill is a short one and its
language is plain. Whether the
courts would uphold it as good
remains to be seen, and it is likely
that little time will elapse be
tween the time when the new law
lakes elVecl and I he commence
ment of a suit to lest its validity.
The lext of the law follows:
Section 1. It shall be unlawful
for any person or persons lo en
gage in any gift enterprise in this
state. Kvery person who shall
well or ofl'er for sale any real
estate or article of merchandise
of any description whatever, or
any ticket of admission to any ex
hibition or performance, or other
place, of amusement, with a
promise, expressed or implied, to
give or bestow, or in any manner
hold out the promise of gift or
bestowal, of any article or thing,
for and in consideration of the
purchase by any person of any
other article or thing, whether the
object, shall be for individual gain
or for the benelit of any institu
tion of whatever character, or for
any purpose whatever, shall be
held lo be engaged in a gift enter
prise within the provisions of this
act.
Seel ion 2. Any person or per
sons who shall engage m any gift

of the court.

Charles Anton, who has been at
the county farm for Ihe past four
months, to Ihe feeble minded in

The boy is apparently crippled in
his back and has not much mental

and, losing his balance, pitched
forward into the basement, ten
or twelve feet below, alighting on
a pile of loose bricks, striking on
his face. Mr. Newton was about
the only one who saw him fall,
ami he remarked that "Hiner has
fallen into the basement." Where
upon one or two bystanders rush

THE HOME MERCHANT A
NECESSITY TO COMMUNITY
Some Reasons Why People Should
Buy at Home When They Can
Get What They Want.
At Ihe request of several read
ers, this newspaper proposes,
during Ihe next few weeks lo re
view hrietly the reasons why our
people should patronize home
I rade.
If all our people followed the
example of some of our citizens
and bought everything possible
away from home, we. would have
nrecious few retail stores left.
What would happen in that case?
A large section of our people,
including merchants and their
clerks and Ihe tradespeople who
ruler to them, would move away
Not merely I hat, but t he decadence
of our business life would mani
fest itself in our business center.
Stores to rent, an air of decad
ence, of struggle to meet obliga
(ions, would settle like a pall over
our town. Any person thinking
of locating here for business or
residence would get an impres
sion that this is a dead town and
would not come.
But. suppose all of our people
bought goods at home whenever
possible, what would be the re
sult? The first thing that would hap
pen would be a distinct increase
in the business done, with a
chance for more people to gain
n livelihood here. More I ban
that, the sprucing up and ex
pansion of our retail trade that
would then lake place would give
an added impression of a bright
business future that won hi at
tract newcomers.

Dr. K. W. Cook, slate head
physician ol the M. W. A. of Ni
braska, and Henry F. (loos, dele
gate lo the slate camp at Fre
mont, returned this morning. Mr.
(loos reports one of the most en
thusiaslic meetings which it has
been his good fortune to ever at
tend. ' Everything was done by
the good people of Fremont that
could be done to make Ihe Wood
men feel at home. There were
over 1,000 beneficiary members in
the parade, with four brass bands
and six or seven drill teams,
making one of Ihe handsomest
parades seen by Ihe lodge for
some time.
There was a class or .too new
members initialed. The state
ollicers were endorsed for re-elec
lion. Head Consul A. R. Talbot
acted as consul at the session last
evening. There was no names
presented to the camp for en
dorsement for head physician ex
cept that of Dr. Cook of this city
which was certainly a compliment
to Dr. Cook.
The following is the list of the
delegates from the First Con
gresisonal district selected to the
head camp, which meets at Buf
falo June 2(1: Klias Baker, Lin
coin; H. F. Stonesiter, Lincoln; I
A. Simmons, Raymond ; Charles F,

Dr. Cook, who is the present
bead phvsirian, is one of Plalls-
inoulh's best citizens,, and his
friends are everyone who knows
him. They are always pleased lo
hear of his success in anything
he undertakes. He will serve as
head physician for another term
at lefts!. His popularity with Ihe
members of the M. W. A. was fill
ly demonstrated at Ihe Fremont
meeting, when it is known that
every district in the stale en
dorsed him for another term, de
spile the fact that there were four
other candidates for the position
This also demonstrates Dr. Cook'
popularity throughout the slate
He will always prove faithful lo

place, him, and Ihe Journal is al
most as proud of this endorse

Sister of Mrs. L A. Moore of
This City, Who Died in
Bastrop, Texas.
'The following is taken from the
Bastrop Advertiser, a paper pub-
ished at Bastrop, Texas, and is
au account of t lie death of Mrs.
Paul I. Page, a sister of Mrs. L.
Moore of this city:
An exquisite statue is some
times defaced by rude hands, or
Vays with the passing of Ihe
years, and the corroding touch
of time. Then it is placed in the
furnace and melted; it is recast
ind comes forth in a more beauti
ful form than it first possesed.
rhe dissolving in the furnace
w a s not iiest met ion, tint a re
newal of the statue, so the death
of a beautiful body is not an
nihilation, into destruction. The
statue may again decay, but the
new body that God shall give
II is children shall be raised in
glory unspeakable and beauty
incorrupt ible.
As the many, many friends of
Mrs. Paul I). Page looked through
falling tears on her calm, sweet
face in its last peaceful sleep, and
realized that the beloved form
was lifeless, we could scarcely
think of a more beautiful slate in
which it could be given back, and
it was hard for I hose w ho loved
her so, to say "Thy will be done."
To; our entire community, her
death was inexpressibly -sad.
Young, gifted, beloved and happy,
she had so much to live for, so
many who needed her care and
affectionate ministry. She seem
ed so necesasry to her home, her
church, her friends; few among
us were .o useful. She was on-
diWi! with a spiritual and poetic
nature and her true intuitions,
her clear p'ercepl ions and original
ideas enabled her lo appreciate
the highest and best things of
life. To her the "common paths"
were, more than beaten high
ways. She saw Ihe (lowers beside
Ihe road, the hills beyond and Cod
over all. She was gentle and
lender, yet as strong as she was
true. Intelligent reading and j
thinking gave her a deep interest
in literary and scientific develop-j
menls. The best literature was
her inspiration and (Sod never
blessed a home with a more
beauliful type of devotion and
usefulness. Her serenity and
si renglh of purpose, her profound
religious belief, was the result of
her firm faith in (Sod's over-ruling
providence and love.
In Ibis sad hour all hearts turn
in leuderesl. sympathy lo her
bereaved ones, Ihe devoted sister
and brothers, the aged mother, Ihe
desolate husband, Ihe dear little
children. Cod only knows what
Ihe absence of the dear wife, the
lov ing mot her, I he devoted daugh
ter, means to that home. Friends
will miss her in Ihe church work,
in the planning for Ihe improve
ment of the school and the better
ment of the town, in the pleasant,
gatherings of our social circles lo
which sho lent grace and dignity,
neighbors, true and Iried, will
sorrow for her departure, but in
the lonely home, fond hearts,
morning, noon and night, "will
long for the touch of a vanished
hand, tho sound of a voice that is
still." 0, sorrowing hearts, "be
strong to hope, starts only shine
at night. Be strong to bear,
nothing is In vain." Think of your
loved one as translated to a high
er and better life, where she in
bliss awaits your coming.
"Though from out. our bourne of
time and place,
The floods, have borne her far,
She met her Pilot face to face,
When she had crossed Ihe
bar."
(Senile hands tenderly laid her
lifeless form away in beauliful
Fairvievv, listening to holy words
of insipralion and comfort, and
covering the new-made grave with
fragrant flowers love's last gift
and as the day closed we. left
her body lo res! in peace till God
shall raise it again in glory un
speakable and immortal beauty.
Blanche Garwood Page was my
friend, my beloved friend, and I
pay this brief tribute lo her
virtues, her beautiful character,
I her pure and stainless life, be
cause of the sacred and undis
turbed friendship that brightened
all the years of our association.'
"I cannot say, I will not say
That she is dead; she is just
away;
With a cheery smile and a wavn
of tho hand,
She has wandered into tho un
known land.
And has left us wondering how
very fair
It must be since she lingers
there."

WRONG IP RESSIBN ON
TAXtKG OF MORTGAGES
The Law Passed by the Late
Legislature Docs Not Go Into
Effect Until July 1.
County Assessor Shively of
Douglas county called at Ihe
capilol Tuesday lo impure into
the Smith bill for Ihe taxation of
mortgages, says Ihe Lincoln Jour
nal. Ho said a wrong impression
had been given out in Douglas
county in regard lo Ihe hill and he
desired lo read Ihe enrolled bill.
He found that it has no em
ergency clan1 and does not, go
into effect till July 7. lie also dis
covered that Ihe bill does not ap-
Iply lo mortgages now in exist
ence, but applies only lo mort
gages recorded after July I of this
year. Mortgages filed for record
' or in existence before July 1 are
lo be taxed under Ihe old law, if
they can be found, and real estate
covered by such mortgages "Is lo
be taxed as before.
There's nothing lo prevent, the
mortgagor and morlgagee from
uelling up a new mortgage and
filing it after July I, and then
taxes will be assessed under Ihe
terms of the new law. The new
law in effect is said lo exempt
mortgages from taxation, but that
remains lo be seen. Kit her parly
may by agreement assume the
burden of paying Ihe taxes on a
mortgage and if the one who
agrees lo pay it does not do so Ihe
oilier parly may do so and get
credit. The bill provides that
when the mortgage is taxed to Ihe
bidder the real estate shall
he 'assessed for- an amount less
Ihe amount of Ihe mortgage.
The principal reason why Mr.
Shively desired to investigate was
to ascertain whether the Smith
hill applied lo mortgages given in
(he past or prior lo July 1 and he
finds it. does not apply to such
mortgages.
Historic Cane.
The cane carried by our friend,
Frank G. Kendall, is a very ordi
nary looking walking slick, but it
has a history that makes it. a cane
that Mr. Kendall prizes very high
ly. The cane was Ihe properly of
Mr. Kendall's father, and the lat
ter carried it with him when bo
attended Lincoln's inaugural ion.
On the return trip the elder Ken
dall encountered a pair of con
fidence men ill Chicago, and in
order to protect himself he used
the cane with (idling effect upon
the head of one of tho men, which
resulted in the "sharper" being
made a tit subject for the hos
pital. The cane shows a broken
placu as evidence of Ihe force
with which Mr. Kendall's father
gave the confidence man a purling
salute. L'nion Ledger.
Who Were They?
A man claiming lo hail from
Union was in Ihe city last evening
and after taking on a large pack
age, went lo the M. P. depot and
become exceedingly wralhy and
abusive when the agent refused to
sell him a ticket. Officer Gunu
picked him up and landed him In
the city hotel, where he remained
until this morning and Judge
Cook charged him the usual
amount for board and lodging.
There was another man with him
who was also loaded, but he man
aged lo get away before tho
olllcer's arrival at tho depot.
