Referee Says, However. Must Change Method of Transacting Business. . . LINCOLN—The Bankers Union of the World will have to change its present methods of doing business in several instances if it is to continue ns an organization, should the report tiled by Referee Ryan in the supreme court be the decision of the court. The report finds for the state in most intsances, though it denied that that evidence sustained the allegation of the state that the company was in solvent. It denied also that the evi dence showed that President Spinney had drawn a larger salary than he was entitled to. Referee Ryan held that should the company continue to do business it I should be enjoined from allowing its officers to appoint a board of directors; it should be enjoined from payinpf to President Spinney and President Spin 'icy should be enjoined from receiving commissions on business done; the company should he enjoined from withholding information regarding the order that may lie required by the auditor; the company should be en joined from merging into its order other companies.

UNPROTECTED STATE PROPERTY. Fire at the State Capitol Would Cause a Great Loss. LINCOLN.—Millions of dollars in state property lies unprotected in Ne braska's capitol building, a veritable liretrap, and in case of a confla,\ation the loss to the taxpayers would sour up into seven figures. The state carries no insurance. There is a provision in the statutes for this, but the legislature has not made an appropriation lor several years. The oiled woodwork, the draughty corridors and the peculiar construction of the dome renders the capitol dangerous should flames once get a start. Fire experts declare that a blaze not stamped out at once would soon be beyond control. Books valued at more than ?1.000, noo tie on wooden shelves unprotected from fire. Supreme court opinions are stored away In the building and their loss would cause much litiga tion. Land titles, abstracts and legis lative and public records are poorly protected in antiquated vaults. Students and visitors to Lincoln flock to the capitol dome.

' IPAAC BROCK, a citizm of McLen nan County, Texas, has lived for 114 years. In speaking of his good health and extreme old age, Mr. Brock says: ‘•Pertina exactly meets all my require ments.

Sir Harry Kawson was welcomed as governor of Now South Wales with the greatest enthusiasm. One port greeted him in a novel and interesting way. There were no guns big enough to salute him with, so an enterprising loyalist hit on the happy Idea of util izing kerosene tins. With the assist ance of plugs of dynamite and a fuse the salute was duly given, resulting in a round dozen of loud bangs, the same number of flying kerosene tins, and distracted natives fleeing for their lives In all directions. ALABASTIN E the Durabale Wall Coatlns, Won't Rub Off; WHY? Because it cements to, and is not stuck on t lie wall with decaying, animal pine, as aro the various so-called "wall fin ishes,” which are k also mines sold under fanciful names. Ton can apply Alabasline. ALABASTINE The Only Sanitary and Permanent Wall Coating ALABASTINE Is net ■ disease-breeding, hot water glue well finish, tarnish ing s lodgment end harbor-ground for disease germs; it Is s natural, rock-base Composition, In white end many exquisitely beautiful tints; in powder form, ready for use by simply mixing with cold water. Anyone can brush it on. ALABASTINE cements to walls, distroys disease germs and vermin, and never rube off or scales. Other wall coatings, under fanciful nameS^and usually mixed w'th hot water, are unhealthful kalsomlnes, stuck on the wall with glue, which soon rots, nourishes germs of deadly disease, rubs and scales, spoiling walls, clothing and fnruitore. When It Is necessary to refinish, the old coats must be washed off—an expensive, nasty, disagreeable job, making the rooms damp and unfit to live In. When walls are once coat«d with Alabastine, succeeding coats may be applitd, year after year, without washing the walls, thus saving great expense and annoyance. Hot and Cold Water Kalsomines Have No Merit Borne dealers try to sell them, buying them cheap, and trying to sell on Alabastine’* demand until such time as their customers learn of the Imposition. THEY ARE WORTHLESS PREPARATIONS If you cannot buy Alabastine of your hardware, paint or drug dealer, rrfc«e all Imitations, and write us. We will tell yon where you can get Alabastine without delay, or sell it to you direct. $500.00 GIVEN AWAY. Write for particulars.
