the agricultural resources and business
interests of the state are not repre
sented there will be on exlhibtion at
the Paris exposition in 1900 examples
ol the work done uy the public school

deal of sameness in all public school
exhibits and in view of this fact an at
tempt will be made to emphasize the
remarkable growth of the Nebraska
schools and to give an accurate idea
of the high standard of education in
the west. Superintendent Jackson has
been considering plans for an exhibit
for some time and the preliminary
steps have already been taken. Copies
of the Nebraska school laws and other
statistics concerning the schools of the
state have been bound expressly for
the exhibit.
There will also be comparative state

CHADKON, Neb., Nov. 20.—The tre

the stupendous shipments from the
northwest two years ago, yet the num

flock to equal in number the number
of cattle. Already sheep are getting
so thick as to menace the range, and
Dr. Romine, the pioneer floekmaster
of Dawes county, is moving his entire

THAT INSURANCE CONTROVERSY
—
i Tlie Test Case Before the Supreme Court
Likely to Be Hotly Contested.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 17.—'The le
gal controversy as to the liability to
the Btate of the insurance companies
that paid fees to Eugene Moore as
auditor is becoming more complicated
and the test case now pending before
the supreme court promises to be hot
ly contested on both sides before a de
cision is allowed to stand. In the
brief and argument of the defendant
in the case of the State of Nebraska
ngainst the Home Insurance company,
filed in the supreme court, three
points are raised by which it is hoped
to relieve the insurance companies of
all further liability.
The argument opens with the asser
tion that the brief of the state con
tained no positive argument in sup
port of its claim and that the attor
ney general proceded upon the as
sumption that because Moore was not
convicted under section 1UI of the
criminal code, as auditor of public ac
counts, of embezzlement of the Insur
ance fees in question, and because the
sureties upon his official bond are not
liable to the state for his defalcation
with regard to money which he, as
auditor, had no right to receive.
The first of the three points raised
by the Home Insurance company is
that under the constitution of Nebras
ka the auditor had no right to per
form services for the defendant and
oher insurance companies unless the
fees therefor were paid in advance
Into the state treasury. The second
point ie that the state is estopped to
claim from the defendant insurance
company compensation for services of
the auditor which he could not legally
perform unless the fees therefore were
paid in advance into the state treas
ury.

parilla, by giving good blood and good
health, has helped many a man to success,
besides giving strength and courage to
women who, before taking it, could not
even see any good in life to win.
The old Greeks said that a man
had two ears and one moutth that he
might hear twice and speak once, and
there is a great deal of good sense in
it. You will find that if you simply
hold your peace you will pass over
nine out of ten of the provocations
of life.—Henry Ward Beecher.
A soldier’s monument, with the god
dogs of liberty on the top; two small
boys gazing up at it with admiration.
—Johnnie (very solemnly)—Is that
God up there? Willie (full of patri
otism)—No—that’s Dewey’s mother.—

The deserts of Arabia are specially
remarkable for the pillars of sand,
which are raised by the whirlwinds
and have a very close resemblance In
their appearance to waterspouts.

PIANOS!
More than 12,000,000 acres of the Sa
hara have been converted Into fertile
Bell with the aid of artesian wells,

Sometime ago a hrakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used his
brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The Company sent him a cheek for
$50 and posted a bulletin compliment
ing him for his quickness of thought.
A few days later. Engineer John Hag
erty was oiling his engine at Connells
ville, while waiting for the passengers
to alight. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang Into
his cab, opened the throttle and start
ed his train. The other engine struck
the rear car but it was not a hard blow
and Hagerty's promptness saved ten
or a dozen lives. The Company ha3
ordered a handsome gold watch, suit
ably inscribed, and a gold chain for
Engineer Hagerty, as a reward for hi3
devotion to duty and "using his
brains” in time of emergency.
Special Offer until Jan. 1st.

already sold one. This means a great
saving to the buyer,
