STATE SEAL WILL NOTBE CHANGED Design Prepared by Isaac Wiles of Cass covr.ty Will Remain For The Present at Least CITY AGAINST EMIL KOUKAL Prosecution Offers Testimony and Matter is Taken Under Ad visement by Court. Because the last legislature failed to repeal the act of 1SG7 adopting a seal of the state and a siniiliar adop tion by the legislature in 1913, and i betccaur,e there is no specific approv al of a new seal by the legislature, Assistant Attorney General Mason Wheeler expresses the opinion that the old seal remain the official seal of Iho slate until these defects are remedied iy legislative act This opinion is pleasing to many pioneers ot Nebraska, who are as much opposed to a change in the de sign of the state seal as was a. cer tain mythical man man opposed to a change in the name of the state of Arkaiuas.

OIL CLOTH & RELATED PRODUCTS SGHMADER KAYOS CLIFFORD IN SECOND Pride of Minnesota Goes Down Before Avalanche of Blows from the Ex-Navy Champion. Minnesota famed for its Gold Medal flour and blue ribbon boxers went down to defeat yesterday be fore the Pride of Nebraska when Andy Schmader stopped Jack Clifford, the formidable Minneapolis boxer who occupied a place in Dempsey's training camp prior to the Carpen tier bout July 2nd. The fight had just gotten well under way when Andy landed the winning blow In the second' round and Clifford stret ched his length upon the canvas for the count of ten. The show was staged at Nebraska City under the auspices of the American Legion post and was held in connection with the Labor day celebration there. Some disappointment in the pre liminaries led to considerable delay in getting started and it wras nearly 4 o'clock, when George Schmader, brother of Andy, and another boxer were substituted for contestants who failed to appear, and boxed a no-decision bout, which is said to have been filled with greater action than either of those that followed. George is slated to appear in the Legion's show here the night of September 14, in a six round decision preliminary, and is expected to give equally good account of himself. The senii-windup was between Billy Rolfe and Harry Boyle of Om aha, Kolfe having much the better of the fight and gaining the referee's decision with very little effort. While the wind-up was short lived, it was the inevitable result of Clif ford, who is a well known boxer and has many victories to his credit, hav ing met a better man than he and one who is on the road to a place at the top. Andy Schmader is a hard-hitting scrapper and one who can assimilate a world of punishment if necessary. For this reason it takes a good roan to outlast him in a ring battle. The local Legion post believe they have a good man in Jrm Marples, the Chicago heavyweight who floored Tony Melchoir recentb, and we can see no reason why a great scrap isn't in store for the fight fans here cn the 14th, although, as we have said before it takes a mighty good man to outlast Andy. ! .
