Douglas, now residing some seven miles west of Murray, was a visiter in Nehawka last Monday, look ing after some business matters. It will be remembered that Mrs. Doug las was manager of the telephone ex change here some years ago and was in such poor health that they moved to Denver, where Mrs. Douglas pass ed away from lung trouble, this be ing some ten years ago.

Wm. Ober- naulte. Herman Schmidt, A. J. Tuck er and Frank Cox are among those who are working at the job like beavers. Tliomas E. Fulton Very Poorly Thomas E. Fulton, blacksmith at Nehawka and a few miles north of here in earlier days, who was forced to discontinue work a few years ago, and has been enjoying more leisurely habits of living, was taken quite ill a few weeks since and due to his ad vanced age, being past 77, has found it difficult to overcome the illness. His condition was so serious that the relatives were greatly concerned as to his recovery. The two daughters making their home near Wayside, Nebraska, were called to his bedside, arriving last Friday night. Their presence acted like magic, for imme diately the father began to improve and since then has been feeling much better. It is hoped that the improve ment may continue and that he will in a short time be able to be out and arround, associating with his many friends. Married Eighteen Years On January 15, 19 1G, Louis Ross and the then Miss Anderson were united in marriage, they going to re side on a farm south cf Nehawka. having lived there ever since.

However, there is promise that this cereal, as well as other grains will go a great deal higher in the future. United Brethren in Christ. Rev.

Vermont held: firm to its republican traditions in the jtatc first test of political: strength since 1532 by electing to congress a republican senator, Ern est W. Gibson, and a republican rep- Lrtsetatiyc, Chalca A. Plumley. In a Special ' eleection marked by a light vote the republicans showed a slight gain proportionately over the vote re corded in 1932. Cibson defeated Harry W. Witters, his democratic opponent, by more than 7,500 on the basis of incom plete returns whicr indicated a total vote of nearly 50,000. Plumley de feated Robert W. Ready, democratic lawyer cf St. Athens, by a margin only slightly less than that for Gib son. Two counties which voted for the democratic senatorial candidate in 1932 of the fourteen in the state went republican in Tuesday's elec tion. 7ELLESLEY INVADED BY MAN Welle?Iey, Mass.

Welioslcy has its male student and cannot longer say it is dedicated ex clusively to the education of young women. The courageous youth is Apostolos Anthanna.-siou ("Nick" to the girls), a young Greek who is taking spec ial work in the department of art as a protege of W. Alexander Campbell, associate professor of art. Nick is studying architecture and water color, to prepare himself as Profes sor Campbell's assistant next semes ter in the archeological excavations at Antioch. Nick believes Wellesley is an ideal place for student life and as for the girls "well, they are pretty cute." RESCIND RELIEF AGREEMENT Omaha. Douglas county commis sioners late Tuesday reescinded the agreement they entered into two week3 ago with the federal state re lief committee whereby the govern ment took over the supplying of food, fuel and clothing to the families of the unemployed. Charle3 Hall, relief committee chairman, a short time later said the action jeopardizes the relief of approximately 6,000 families in the county. Hall said: "If the county will not co-operate, I don't know whether ths federal government will continue to supply food, fuel and clothing. If it will not, those people will have to be sent back to the county, where they Lav? no money." He said he would get ia touch with officials in Lincoln on the matter. Wet States to Gain 116 Million in Tax Money Pennsylvania Expects 55,003,030 From Liquor Taxes to Roll Into Treasury by June 1. Chicago, 111., Jan. 14. The wet states expect to collect more than 116 million dollars by taxing liquor thru- jout 1934 Guaging the sum by receipts since the legalization of beer last April and repeal of prohibition last month, the states which have made esti mates cf liquor revenue possibilities anticipate counting it in nine figures Action by other states planning tax and control measures for hard drink will swell further the toll taken in brewing, distilling, license and re tail taxes. New York $15,000,000. Pennsylvania, with its heavy dis tillery taxes and state-owned liquor stores, has greater expectations than any other state. Governor Pinchot expects 55 million dollars to roll into the treasury by June 1, 193 4. The -tate has counted $2,115,000 already. Other estimated ;reccipts include New York, 15 million dollars; Ohio 10 million dollars, returning three million dollars to political subdivi sions; Illinois, 10 million dollars; Massachusetts, five million dollars returning two million dollars to mu nicipalities; California and Washing ton, ? 4,500,000 each, and Minnesota and New Jersey, four million dollars each, with Minnesota municipalities getting additional revenue from their own operated dispensaries.

GENERAL MARCHAND IS DEAD Paris. Gen. Jean Baptiste Mar chand, principal French figure in the FachoJa incident, which brought France and England on the verge of war in 1S9S, died at the ago of 70. i General Marchand, after being sur.i I nioned to do so by Lord Kitchener, j refused to evacuate the Fachado fort, in the upper Nile region, which the j French had constructed during wlt- ish Dervish hostilities. The fort even tually was evacuated after diplomatic negotiations. On his return to France General Marchand was icceived as a national hero. During the World war, as colonel of a brigade, he disting uished himself in the battle of Ar gonne. Dangerously wounded at Ar gon ne, he returned to the front and played a part at Verdun and the second battle of the Manic. The grave Fachoda in?ident was further complicated when Kaiser Wil helm of Germany sent a warship to the territory, ostensibly to support the French. The situation was clear ed after months of negotiations when France ordered General Marchand to leave the fort. SOVIET HOLDS 6 AS ALIEN SPIES Moscow, Jan. 14. A new- case," which may rival in sensations the celebrated British Metropolitan Vickers affair, has arisen in Russia, it was disclosed Sunday, with the ar rest of the general manager of five foreign representatives of the control company branch of Societe Gcnerale Des Surveillances, Ltd., of Geneva. They were charged with economic espionage. The company ij an inter national organization which certifies exports from principal ports of the world.

A slump and later re covery cf United Siates government .securities, together with a. substan tial rally of corporation issues, were the features of an ur.usally active bend market during the past week. The prospective borrowing cf some 10 billions by the government during the next six months, coupled with a probability that the national debt will approximate 35 bilioins by 1936, were unsettling factors in the federal section and there was a hurried switching of long for short term is sues in addition to tome nervous sell ing. Several of tho treasuries broke to new 19 3 3-0 4 lows-otrorc suppui i ui rived. The rally started on Thurs day when bids appeared from numer ous "bargain hunters." At the same time treasury purchase:, for the sink ing fund and other accounts were rumored along with institutional in vestment. 1 US ILLJlo a. id uuiaJio nuu ai. spurred by news President RoolcvcIl believed sinking; fund? for bonded debts should be provided and that regulatory bodies should consider this in rate making. DEP0SITS IN POSTAL Washington, Jan. 14. The post- business has grown since it was es tablished in 1011 with deposits that year of $77S,129. to $1,203,812,759 at the end of the fiscal year 1933. This is an increase over the pre ceding year of $40S,490,725. Tending legislation for on increase in the limit of postal savings bal ances from $2,500 to $5,000 has the support of Postmaster General James A. Farley. The department, however, is opposed to inch:;-icn of checking cccounts. ATTEMPT TO STEAL CAR Sunday night an attempt was made to steal the Ford coupe belonging to Mrr.. Gladys Glabitz, of Avoca, the car having been left parked on Sixth street tr.ear Pearl. The person tak ing the car had trouble in trying to drive it and had run into several di rection signs and narrowly missed an electrolier post on Poorl street. The loss of the car was reported to the is V pyipolice and recovered a short time later a short distance frcm where it had been taken.

Labor will Draft Goals on January 24th Probably Will Ssek Siiarp Shorten ing of Work Week at Gathering. Washington. Jan. 14. Heads of the international unions composing the American Federation of Labor will gather in Washington January 24 to report on actual .operation cf NRA all over the country and to draft a program of legislative de mands to protect worker interests. The A. F. of L. program probably will be the signal for numerous ef forts to amend the industrial law, most of whic hare being held in abey ance by their sponsors until labor acts. Outside Survey Being Made. Besides the reports or" the union heads, the federation is having as sembled a survey of NRA results, out side of union channels. College econ- nists have been enlisted for this' or tak to give the result an impartial tinge. At present the feeling of labor leaders, as privately expressed, com bines dissatisfaction and alarm. Out waidly they minimize the alarm part, support NRA prniciples and insist on a 30-hour w ork week and a say in the government of coded industries. Estimates Discouraging The federation estimates of re-employment, however, are considered frankly dicscurcging. The labcr sta tisticians report 0,400,000 new jobs made under the entire recovery pro gram, including the public works and civil works administration, but at the ranie time place the numbers of those still jobless at 10,702,000, sug gesting a constant loss in regular em ployment. At the low point of last March the unemployment estimate stood at 13 million. Of the 6,400,000 new jobs they credit onlyq 1,SOO,000 to private in dustry operating under code3. An average reduction of four and one half hours in the work time of in dustrial employes is the net credited to the codes. Company Unions an Issue. Ho-.vever, the most serious issuei from the union tida, the leaders say, is the increase in company unions, and the organized, aggressive cam paign against national unions, they assert is now being waged by indus trialists generally. Outstanding cases of what the em ployers call "employe representation" plans are now before the national la bcr board, NRA and the department of justice, but so far nothing definite has been done. Senator Wagner, la bor board chairman, is drafting a bill to remove all doubts as to where em ploye rights begin and end, and to give government encouragement rath er than passive assent to unioniz ation. DICKINSON WANTS AUDIT Washington. In his first speech to the senate this session, Senator Dick inson of Iowa assailed the removal of President Roosevelt s executive order which had provided for audit of emergency government expendi tures by the budget director and the comptroller general. "I think it was an assurance that we were at least to see where the money v as gcing, regardless of wnitner we got value received or not," Dickinson said. The Iowan said he approved of President Roosevelt's initial order, but that it was changed iafter recovery chiefs protested against showing where the money was going "before it had gone." AID FOR TAX rZLINQUENTS Oklahoma City. Governor Murray issued an executive order cf clem ency remitting delinquent tax pen alties cn all classes of property for 10 33 and prior ysai'3 provided the t-xca are paid in full before July 1, 1934. U:;e cf his clemency power was resorted to by the governor after a previous proclamation authorizing county treasurers to waive the penal tics had been declared illegal by At torney General King. Under condi tions confronting Oklahoma, the tax penalties would constitute "excessive fines and cruel or unusual punish ment," said Murray's order. WANTED Alfalfa or red clover hay.

Ben Skalowsky of Nor folk was awarded $5,000 damages by a Saunders county district court jury Tuesday night in his suit against Robert Wasserman, 21, of Cheyenne, Wyo. Skalowsky asked $25,000 for the death of hi3 son, Leo, 19, in an automobile accident. Young Skalowsky was killed on the highway east of Ashland Feb. 2 4, 1932, when an automobile driven by Wasserman and occupied also by Skaiowsky crashed into the rear end,i(eilt Roosevelt was described by of a truck owned by E. J. Kiddle cf Ashland. The plaintiff charged the truck was left on the highway at night without lights. The defendant was charged with gross negligence and operating a car at a high and danger ous rate of speed. At the time of the r.pfMnnt imt h vniinsr men were stu dents at the University of Nebraska. CAN RETURN TO GERMANY Berlin. Hermann Wilhelm Goer- ing, Prussian premier, gave all re fusees from Germany a chance to re- turn to the fatherland, provided they prove they defended the nazi regime while they were absent. The refugees include communists, Jews, and others who left the country for political rea sons. Gocring instructed his subor dinates to readmit and not to ham per "those frightened compatriots of unscrupulous propaganda." Simultaneously he ordered any "easterners," meaning post-war Jew ish emigrant?, who are caught re turning to be placed in concentration camps until extradited. These are es timated by the Lausanne relief com mittee to make up 16,000. of the total 60,100 exiles. NOT TO DISCUSS RACING Omaha. President W. H. Sehell berg said possible resumption of Ak-Sar-Ben horse racing, in case legal measures would permit a return cf pari-mutuel bettering, was not on the "scheduled" program for discussion at the annual meeting of the Ak-Sar-Ben exposition company Tuesday aft ernoon. Schellbcrg would not comment on a statement by II. Malcolm Baldrige, before Nebraska's county fair rep- resentatives at Lincoln, that the ex- position company would sponsor an amendment to the state pari-mutuel betting. The races formerly were the exposi tion company's chief source of rev enue. I0V7A MAN FOR JUDGSHIP Washington. Endorsement of Representative Eicher, Iowa, for eighth circuit court judge to replace the late William S. Kenyon, was ob tained by Iowa's democratic congress men from house democrats of other eighth circuit states. Representative Gillette, Iowa, said Eicher's candi dacy had the support of Nebraska's five democratic congressmen, tenta tive approval of South Dakota's house members, endorsement of Minnesota's democratic representative and that "Missouri's democrats on the houe side are discussing it favorably." Meanwhile, a report that District Judge Martir.eau of Arkansas had been selected for the pest was ua confhmed at the white house. HUNT TREASURE ON RAILS Daggett, Mich. Hundreds of resi dents of the Menominee county vil lage were walking along the railroad track between here and Stephenson Tuesday picking up money, postoffice orders and letters. The treasure hunt started rocn after Henry Sansregret, on hi3 way to work, found a check on the Northwestern road tracks. A mail car hook apparently did not make a proper connection with a mail tag at Ilia Bark river station. The bag is believed to have been swept under the wheels and dragged along the ties until it became torn. Its ients were scattered over a long di fiiice DOUGLAS EXPENSES UP Omaha. Douglas county commis sioners made public an estimate of county expenditures for 1934, the largest in history, and exceeding that of last year by $1,062,075. The to tal, ?2,SOO,900, exceeds the county's anticipated revenue from taxes by $1, 027, 700. Chairman Frank Riha explained the estimate actually rep resents the financial condition and i.-i-v ti,B county, ana does not set out what the actual expenditures will be.

Expansion Seen of Currency by Monetary Plan Students cf Finance Say That More Dollars Will Da Put in Circulation. Washington. The 2 billion dollar stabilization fund requested by Pres- seme economists as potential of a large expansion of the currency. These students of finance, while de clining 'to permit use of their names, drew the opinion that for every dollar cpnt in buying gold or foreign ex change abroad an additional dollar would be put into circulation in this country. The senate finance committee was listening to Secretary Morgenthau's explanation of the measures request ed by the president to reduce the gold content of the dollar and set up the stabilization fund. The house coin age committee was hearing endorse ments of the plan from Frank A. Van derlip, a New York financier, and Father Charles Coughlin, a Detroit priest. The economists explained that when the government buys pounds cr francs, a London or Pari3 importer is buying lis dollars in the same transactions to pay for things they have purchased in this country. The fund is to be created from the profit accruing to the government when it nearly doubles the value of its gold stocks by reducing the dol lar's gol dcontent 40 to 50 percent. The senate banking committee went to work on the bill late in the day. Speaker Itainey was delving in to house precedents before deciding whether the house banking or the coinage committee should have the measure in charge there. Both claim ed jurisdiction. The coinage commit tee heard Vandc-rli passert that re valuation cf the dollar would not be enough to control prices. He recom mended return to a 'modern gold standard" under which no specific legal requirement would be made as to the amount of gold that must be held in reserve as backing for cur rency in circulation. At present there is a 49 percent requirement. Before leaving, however, he said he favored th plan of President Roosevelt. Coughlin also praised the Roose velt proposal for a devalued dollar and exclaimed: "If congress refuses to follow thru oa thi3 idea of .Mr. . Roosevelt's, I predict a revolution that will make the French revolution leck silly. It's Roosevelt or ruin." But, ho added, devaluation is insuffi cient without an increase in currency in circulation, whereby the capacity of the people to purchase the prod ucts of the nation's industries is in creased. He argued strongly for re monetization of silver. The rcnate's republican regulars caucused on the monetary bill and on veterans' legislation, and decided to insist ths banking committee hold public hearings.
