Indications of Prosperous Days in Neb raska. LINCOLN.—If the final settlement of county treasurers with the auditor are indications, these are prosperous days for Nebraska. Up to this time forty-nine county treasurers have made their final settlements and with the exception of two every county shows larger collections of taxes than for the same period of last year. This is not an indication that more money has been collected during the year than last year, but merely during the last month of the year, as compared with the same month of the previous year. The greatest increase was shown in' the statement from Boone county, where this year $20,000 Is shown in the final settlement, white last year the final settlement shows only $4,000 collected. Cuming and Da kota counties show a decrease. The former collected $6,337 to put in its final settlement last year and this year collects $1,984; while Dakota shows $3,292 last year and $2.DIG this year. The following tabulation gives a fair idea of how the collections show up for the last month of the two years: County. 1904. 1905.

Washington dispatch: Congress man Pollard appeared before the agri- : cultural committee in behalf of liis resolution appropriating $10,000 to 1 make demonstrations for the benefit of western farmers against fruit tree . pests, in the course of his argument Mr. Polard said some of the people in Nebraska had for the past fifty years 1 been raising fruit only to meet with disaster at the end, due to scab fungus nnd codling moth, and as the depart ment of agriculture had made success ful demonstrations against certain pests of fruit trees in the tidewater regions of Virginia, he believed ii would be nothing more than right to have the demonstrations made in the j western states against, the pests in j that section. He made a very broad | statement to the committee that Ne- i braska today grew as fine fruit in i quality as any state in the union. COST OF TAX LITIGATION.

The material, of heavy pearl white satin and bro cade, was designed especially for the White House bride by a firm in Pater son, N. J. This same firm designed and manufactured Mrs. ' Roosevelt’s famous inauguration gown brocade. Miss Roosevelt selected her own de sign. It is a fine cross pattern with a crescent scattered at irregular in tervals. This brocade will be used in the full court train of three yards, while the plain satin will make the bodice and panels. Nearly all of Miss Roosevelt's trous seau is in the hands of a Baltimore modiste firm that has gowned three generations of the Washington and Baltimore set. Miss Roosevelt will become Mrs. Nicholas Longworth Jr., in a princess robe, built on severely plain lines. Her robe will be fashioned according to court regulations, for it is to do dual service, first at the wedding and then at the court of King Edward VII. The train will measure three yards and will come from the back widths and swell into billowy folds, with a soft ruffle of chiffon peeping beneath. Miss Roosevelt, who has gained the reputation of being one of the best gowned women in America, has spent much thought on the details of her bridal robe. The bodice will be em broidered in seed pearls and a wide leaf design of soft silk. Some rare old lace which has adorned the wed ding finery of several generations of the Lees, the maternal ancestors of the bride, will be draped on the sleeves and form a bertha effect A veil of tulle and orange blossoms will complete the toilet, and Miss Roose velt may carry an ivory prayer book, which her mother used when she be came the bride of Theodore Roosevelt. Some of the evening gowns which Miss Roosevelt is having built may give Londoners and Parisians a new idea of American fabrics and Ameri can dressmakers. One gown is pale green tissue built over deep yellow moire with drapery of frosted leaves and exquisitely • embroidered bodice. Another evening gown is a fetching combination of fine silk lace, tulle and satin in deep cream, with drapery and combinations of t-he most effective style. A broadcloth gown of old rose trim med with sable and Persian embroid ery is another of the handsome toil ets being prepared by a Washington tailor for the trousseau. In the mat ter of lingerie. Miss Kooseevelt has been equally patriotic. Ail the dainty entbroidery and stitching has been giveh to a girls' industrial home in Washington. WILL HAVE OFFICIAL WEDDING. President Yields to Wish of Daughter in the Matter. The President last week gave out the following: “The President and Mrs. Roosevelt have sent out Invitations for the wed ding of Miss Alice Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth, which has already been announced to take place on Saturday, February 17. “The invitations are limited to the immediate family connections, a small official list and the intimate personal friends of Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth.’’ The announcement indicates that the invitations will be limited to 800, the capacity of the east room, in which the ceremony is to take place. •The “small official list’* refers to the cabinet and ambassadors and min MISS ROOSEVELT* isters and ladies of the diplomatic 1 corps, showing that Miss Alice's will j has prevailed; that is. she will have an official wedding, gold lace and all. and not a private wedding, as her father had planned. ROYALTY SENDS COSTLY GIFTS. Presents from European Monarchs to . Happy Bride. Rescued from the dust heap of j banned phrases, "the weddings gifts ; were numerous and costly" may rear its horrid head in the accounts of Miss ! Alice Roosevelt's bridal, though the , yarns about wonderful jewels coming I INVITATION CARD TO WEDDING , s I 3L l£$iete4kti6s4itu6's//?j. £$o0*teve/fa fjfou,ry4X>tr^anpt ^y//r. isA^cAdtU jnthe/eentXyund/vet/yewu/^tjt* ^.w^ww/aij^ywartS^ ■ 1 In by the peek are—well, they are ; yarns. Still, It is certain the pres ents to her will represent a lot of money in the aggregate. The President has decided to make public a list of the more costly gifts and those from organizations and for eign rulers.' Only three European monarchs thus far have given a sug gestion of their gifts. The Emperor and Empress of Germany will send a set of gold embossed china and ornaments for a dining room. The Czar and Czarina will send bronze ornaments and the President of France some Gobelin tapestries. PRESENTS TO BE MAGNIFICENT Tiffany’s Most Skillful Workmen Are Preparing Gifts. At the New York shop of Tiffany’s, as well as at their Forest Hill plant, skilled workmen are engaged night and day, under the direction of Super intendent Von Posai, on a bewildering array of jewels which friends of Miss Alice Roosevelt are having set in special designs as wedding gifts for the daughter of the President. One of the handsomest is a pearl collar of ten strands, the largest ever made by Tiffany, and worth $31,000. A diamond tiara, containing 500 stones, is another, and there are also two dia > WEDDING GOWN mond collars and two bow knots of diamonds. The names of the persons who will present these gifts <o Moss Roosevelt are. of course, being kept a close secret, but at least two of the gifts, two diamond lockets, are being made for Secretary of War William H. Taft. Miss Carew. sister of Mrs. Roosevelt, is also having some jewelry made, as is also Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sis ter of the president. Most of the gifts r.re being made for well known per sons living in New York, Washington and Ohio. At the Forset Hill plant.'two of the largest presents which in all proba bility Miss Roosevelt will receive, are being finished. They are a magnifi cent silver service, one of the most beautiful ever made by TifTany, which has been ordered by the Rough Rid ers’ association; and a Krag-jorgen son rifle, fashioned of solid 22-karat gold, an exact, full-size, working mod el, to be presented to Miss Roosevelt by the officers of the United States ?rmy. Senator’s Wife Skillful Painter. Mrs. Heyburn, wife of Senator Wel don Brinton Heyburn of Idaho, as Miss Geraldine Yeatman of Philadel phia, was a famous portrait painter. One of the works of her skillful brush is the portrait of Tjiomas F. Bayard, which adorns the stateliouse in Wil mington, Del. Mrs. Heyburn has re cently completed one of the daintiest of mjniature plates, which shows the daughter of a friend in various ages from 8 months to 18 years. The heads are miniatures in oil on a Limoges plate, arranged in soft azure' clouds all around the edge. There are twelve heads, all finished in exquisite detail. On Stage for Fifty Years. Mrs. Samuel Charles, the oldest actress on the stage in point of actual length of service, gave a reception in New York recently in celebration of the fiftieth aniversary of her profes sional debut. Mrs. Charles was born on a Mississippi steamboat, made her first appearance on the stage at the age of four in a pantomime with the elder Holland. A six months’ journey from St. Paul to California in a prairie schooner drawn by oxen and a stop over in Salt Lake City to fight a law suit with Brigham Young are among her early recollections. Spend Money for Golf. Never has so much money been ap plied to the propagation of any game in one year as there has been applied lo golf in the year which has just drawn to a close. Twenty thousand pounds spent by the Tooting Bee club, £12,000 by the Bournemouth cor poration, scores of cases where sums of from £2,000 to £5,000 have been expended, and now £0,000 by the peo ple of North Berwick—these are but a few items in the golf expenditure of the season.—Golf Illustrated. Woman in Man’s Attire. •For a woman to masquerade in man's attire is no new thing. In Wells church, Norfolk, is the grave of Elizabeth Clayton, who died in 1808, after dressing and working as a ship’s carpenter for many years. According to a periodical of the time, “she drank, swore, chewed tobacco and kept company only with the workmen. She was a strong and healthy person' and would employ her tongue or fist as mush to the danger of an opponent M Uw boldest man.” Training of Jap Soldiers. The Japanese official organ, the | Kokumin. comparing the Japanese ! with foreign soldiers, says: "They ; are brought up in the idea that it is ; their common duty to serve with the | colors and die in the defense of their country in case of emergency, so that j they can rise in their valor and fldel- j ity above those of other countries, | who either make fighting the occupa- , tion of their caste or follow it as mer- i cenaries. England is not quite up to Japan in the matter of this principle.” Have the Marrying Habit. M. Arconet, a farmer of Buzeins, St. Afrique, and his wife, together have been forty-six times at the altar. He has just been married for the twenty- I seventh time. The man is 69 and his twenty seventh wife, Mme. Octavie Gallu, has married no fewer than eighteen hus bands. He is a poor man and says in his simple fashion that ail his money has been spent in marriage feasts and fu neral-baked meats.—Stray Stories. First Signs of Age. If one be watchful there conies a time in the life of every man and woman when one or more discoveries are made. The walk is not. so brisk, the shoulders have got into a way of slumping forward and the back is not so erect as formerly. Now is the time to cry “Halt!” It is the. time to drill the body, the time to revise sleep, diet, exercise, occupa tion, relaxation and all habits. Everv son and daughter of humanity should refuse this gradual yielding to decay. Mathematics and Engineering. Mathematics lead,, thinks Dr. S. 9. Christy of the University of Califor nia, in the engineering school. He has always found that the students who do well in mathematics do well in everything else requir- ' ing close thinking. Instruction in physics and mathematics should go on side by' side, and the two courses should be so arranged that the mathe matical principles may be at once ap plied to physical problems of a use ful nature. Christian IX, Aged King of Denmark, Is Dead 1 Christian IX, king of Denmark, dean of the crowned heads of Europe, fath er of King George of Greece, of Queen Alexandra of England, and of the dowager Empress Maria Feodor ovna of Russia, grandfather of the czar of Russia and of King Haakon of Nor way, .and related by blood or by mar riage to most of the European rulers, died with startling suddenness in the Amalienbdrg palace at Copenhagen, Jan. 29, in the eighty-eighth year of his life and the forty-third year of his reign. Frederick VIII was proclaimed king of Denmark next day in Amalienborg square in front of the palace. Was a Notable Ruler. King Christian for nearly half a cen tury was one of the notable monarchs of Europe in spite of the fact that his kingdom was one of the smallest. But his relationship to so many of the great rulers of the continent gave him an influence in old world powers wielded by but few men. No European monarch—excepting, perhaps, Victoria—counted more rela tives in the royal families of Europe. King Christian’s eldest daughter is queen of England. His second daugh ter was czarina of Russia and the mother of the present czar. His third daughter is duchess of Cumberland The Late King Christian. and heir to the throne of Hanover. His eldest son succeeds him on the throne of Denmark. His second son is king of Greece. .One of his grandsons is i czar of Russia, a second king of Nor- i way, and a third lord commissioner of Crete. King Christian was not a hereditary ! ruler of Denmark. He was an elected king and ascended the throne exe- ! crated by the Danish people. Iu fact, lie was mobbed an hour after he was I proclaimed king and stoned on the j streets of Copenhagen. Christian IX was the fourth son of Duke William of Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg-Glicksborg, and was born on April 8, 1818. He was the son of poor parents and with his family was inured to poverty during all of the years of his life until he ascended the throne. He was educated as a soldier and until he ascended the throne was an officer in the Danish army. In those earlier years of his career ! Christian hnd his wife lived in an old house in Amalia street in Copenhagen. He had a small country place, five j miles out of Copenhagen. His pay as an army officer was his only income and his family always knew the pinch of actual hard times. His wife and daughters did the housework and made their own clothes. It was in these days that the young prince of Wales, now Edward VII of England, chose Christian’s daughter, Alexandra, for his wife. She was then 19 years old. A few years later Chris tian’s second daughter. Marie, was be trothed to the czarowitz of Russia. With these royal betrothals the for- i tunes of Christian began to mend: but i even then he continued to reside at 1 -J the little village of Boms'orfr 3-.* miles out of Copenhagen. In 1863, the poor captain of infantry, with scarcely an hour's warning found himself transported from a hum hie dwelling to a palace, his ca.a sword changed into a scepter, an 1 : officer’s cap for a crown. Early in November of that y»ar ol King Frederick VII of Denmark d. and without heirs—the last of hi house. It developed upon the Dam parliament to elect a new king. T the surprise of the Danish people pa liament’s choice fell on Christian, duk of Glicksborg. Christian himself wa equally surprised. The king's ractics were to remat perfectly quiet, to make no manife^ no attempt to win popularity for ih moment, but to remain shut up in hi palace and let the storm blow over This line of conduct met with su< cess, and after brawling about the streets of Cejienhagen for a few da> - the mob settled down by degrees, ac. began to wonder whether, after ail, it might not be perhaps advisable to se what the new king might be worth be fore condemning him. The earlier part of Christian's re:?:, was filled with troubles. Simultane ously with his accession rival claim ants arose for the duchies of Schles wig-Holstein, which had been part of the possessions of King Frederick VII of Denmark. The extinction of hi-, dynasty, it was assorted, and the gut. stitution of a new one bad entiiei altered the rights of succession in these provinces.

Prussia, Austria, and Ger many all took a hand In the fish', an the first of these countries succeeding in taking from little Denmark th three duchies of Holstein.

The young Crown Prince Olaf of Norway, son of King Haakon VII. is the object of much popular attention. In the charge of his nurse, he is usually taken out for a daily run in the Queen’s park, and has had to pay the penalty of fame in the form of kisses showered on him by assem blies of admiring ladies, who con front him at every turning- Tu such an extent has the practice been car ried that the park has been closed to the public by order of the queen. , Arrests in New York.
