BANKERS UNION IS SOLVENT.
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.
Deputy Attorney General Norris
Brown, who prosecuted the rase for
the slate, is well satisfied with the
report of the referee and will file a
motion for judgment upon the find
ings of facts submitted.

Fire at the State Capitol Would
Cause a Great Loss.

a blaze not stamped out at once would
soon be beyond control.

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. Many of
them smoke and stubs of cigars and
cigarettes can he found strewn along
the rickety steps leading to the dome.

roof of the capitol. but for a long
time these have not been connected
with hose.

An Enthusiastic Reception.
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.
