As to Dipsomaniac Law.
LINCOLN—An effort is being made
by Dr. J. T. Hay, superintendent ot
the Lincoln hospital for the insane,
to find out just how much benefit the
dipsomaniac law passed at the session
of the legislature two years ago has
proved. Dr. Hay has sent out in
quiries to the intimate friends of the
250 men and women who have been
treated at the hospital since the pas
^ eage of the law. either for the drink
or drug habit. On the answers to
these letters his statistics will be
based. Some of the replies already
received show that permanent cures
have been effected by the treatment
at the asylum. Others tell sad stories
of backsliding on the part of the pa
tients into the old habits.
Dr. Hay declares it to be his firm
belief that in most of the cases in
•which the treatment has been proved
to be of but transient benefit, the fault
Is mainly to the mistaken zeal of tbe
friends of the patient. Often, as socn
as the liquor or drug has been entirely
withdrawn from the patient and he is
beginning to exist in comparative
peace without it his friends begin to
clamor to have him sent home. This.
Dr. Hay says, is a serious mistake. He
believes that patients in the dipso
maniac ward should be kept in the
hospital for at least a year after the
liquor or drug they crave has been
entirely withdrawn from them. In
that time the weakened power of the
patient wil have a chance to reassert
itself and he will have much less diffi
culty in resisting temptation than he
would if removed from restraint with
in two or three months.
Bills for Printing Amendment.
Most of the county papers which
published the notice of the constitu
tional amendment have filed vouchers
with the secretary of state for $52.50.
This is an extra charge of $2.50 for
the extra week the notice was pub
lished. No extra charge was made for
the extra editions published.
The Lee Broom and Duster company
owes the state more than four months’
pay for convict labor. Governor Mickey
has stated that the bill must be
squared within a week of some action
will have to be taken.
Farmer Run Over and Killed.
FREMONT—John Hanson, a farmer
living near Argo postoffice, in Burt
county, was thrown from his wagon
and killed near Uehling. Hanson and
his son were returning from Uehling
with a couple of loads of lumber. The
elder man was driving the first team,
and just over the top of the hill east
of town the team started suddenly,
throwing him to the ground in front of
the wagon. Both wheels passed over
him and his head was crushed. He was
45 years of age and a widower.

Revival at Burchard.
H' BURCHARD*—The village of Bur
chard, on the south line of the B. &

War on Cash Funds.
LINCOLN—If Governor Mickey does
not make war in cash funds which
have been created at state institutions
without color of law. it is believed
Governor Sheldon may have some
thing to say to the legislature in his
inaugural message. Fifteen yet.rs ago
a cash fund at a state institution was
the exception. Now nearly every in
stitution has from a few hundred dol
lars to S6.000 or ?S,000 in cash which
it is said ought to be in the state
treasury. The money is derived from
the sale of state property, but instead
of depositing the money in the state
treasury, the heads of state institu
tions retain it and spend it to suit
themselves. There is no authority of
law for the creation of such funds.
The practice has, grown up by per
mission of governors and boards of
public lands and buildings. Either the
governor who appoints heads of state
institutions, or the board of public
lands and buildings which passes on
the expenditures of such appointees,
can stop the practice. Both author
ities have given tacit consent to the
practice and it is assuming cansider
able proportions.
Fight on thfc Amendment.
It is reported here, says a Lincoln
dispatch, that the railroads ir.tend to
fight the amendment to the constitu
tion providing for a railway commis
sion by going into court at an early
date. The report is that the railroads
will enjoin the qanvass of the vote on
the amendment by the legislature and
ende£vor to stop proceedings right at
the start. The suit will be based, if
it is brougnt. it is said, on the theory
that It is illegal to adopt a constitu
tional amendment by counting for
the amendment every straight party
vote cast when the party has endorsed
the amendment in its state convention.
Horse Thieves Are Active.
HASTINGS—A team of horses be
longing to Joe Balderson of this place,

fit of the association. Last year the

cor,n. Many prizes will he offered.
Martin Deputy Attorney General.
LINCOLN — Grant G. Martin of
TYemont has been appointed second
deputy in the office of Attorney Gen
eral Thompson. Mr. Thompson offered

having been appointed deputy some
days ago. Both positions pay the same
$1,800 annually. Mr. Martin has been
county attorney of Dodge county and
is an old schoolmate of the new attor
ney general..
No Passes to Land Agents.
OJ1AHA—The power of the inter
state commerce commission to change
conditions in an entire community by
an enforcement of the new law was
brought out forcibly Saturday, when
the Union Pacific railroad decided,
upon advice of the legal department,
to recall all passes issued to land
agents immediately. Representatives
of the passenger departments of all
western reads met with the commis
sion a week ago Friday in Washing
ton, and on a complaint of the Illinois
Central to test the commission on
that subject, the commission, while
not making a ruling, conveyed the idea
and expressed the sentiment inform
ally that the granting of free trans
portation to land agents was unlaw
ful.
Gerrit Fort, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific, re
turned from the east Saturday, and in
regard to the Question of land agents
said:
“The passenger department of the
Union Pacific has consulted with the
legal department and has decided im
mediately to annul the passes of land
agents. We are telegraphing to all
we can reach today and will stop all
as soon as we can get to them. We
consider it unfortunate the commis
sion took this view of the matter, as
the stoppage of free transportation
will have a tendency to retard prog
ress in western Nebraska, which nev
er had better prospects than at pres
ent. We had several hundred agents
who worked at this work exclusively.”
School Lands Are Leased.
LINCOLN—Never before have the
lessees of school lands cornered the

esses' training school.
Attack Anti-Gambling Law.
LINCOLN—The supreme court must
decide in regard to the constitution
ality of the anti-gambling law. The
i question is brought up by the attor
I nevs for John F. Stetter and Harry
! F. Hilsinger of Valentine, who are
trying to obtain a' reversal of a ver
dict of a $300 fine against their cli
ents. They insist that the law was
presented to the governor for his sig
nature under a different title from
that under which it was introduced in
the legislature, and that the bill was
not read three times, according to law.

SOME NEW DISHES.
FOUR WAYS OF PREPARING
CHESTNUTS.
Good Things Bcrowed from French
Cooks—Chestnut Salad Worthy a
Place on Any Table—Prep
aration of Grape Juice.
Here is a dish taken from our
French neighbors, and one that is,
especially now, timely. Peel off the
inside skin of chestnuts, then steep
in boiling water until the inner skins
can be readily removed. Throw as
fast as peeled into a bowl of cold
water. Put two ounces of butter in
a saucepan, with two tablespoonfuls
flour. Stir until blended, then pour
in one cup or more of clear broth,
stirring until smooth. Salt to taste,
add chestnuts and simmer gently un
til soft. Serve with roasted meats
or poultry, especially turkey.
ROASTED CHESTNUTS—Split the
skin on one side of large chestnuts
and put in a pan with a perforated
bottom. Stand over a moderate fire,
shaking often until tender. Wrap
in a cloth for ten minutes, to steam,
then serve with salt and butter.
DEVILED CHESTNUTS—Put one
pound large chestnuts to a sauce
pan of boiling water and parboil.
Plunge Into cold water until the skins
loosen, then remove them. Dry
thoroughly, then put into a frying pan
with hot butter and toss and shake
until gold color. Sprinkle with salt,
mixed with a little cayenne, and serve
either hot or cold, as preferred.
CHESTNUT SALAD.—Make a slit
with a penknife in the outer skin of
three dozen large chestnuts. Put into
a saucepan of hot water, a d boil
20 minutes. Drain and plun>' into
cold water until the skins osen.
Peel, cut into quarters and dust with
salt and pepper. Peel four large sour
apples, core 2nd cut into pieces of
similar size to nuts. Cut some of
the dark meat of a cold roasted tur
key or duck into pieces of the same
size, and arrange on lettuce leaves
in the salad bowl or in individual
plates. Sprinkle over them two
tablespoonfuls chopped mixed pickles
and dress with a French dressing of
oil and vinegar and serve.
GRAPE JUICE.—While grapes are
at their cheapest it pays to put up
plenty of grape juice for home con
sumption. There is no beverage
more refreshing or wholesome in ill
ness than the unfermented juice of
the grape, while in hot weather it is
one of the most cooling of drinks. Put
up at home, a pint bottle costs scarce
four cents, while the lowest price ak
the drug store is 23 cents. To pre
pare the grape juice cut the bunches
of grapes a little, trimming off super
fluous stems and taking out the un
sound berries. Put in a granite ware
or porcelain-lined kettle, covering
with water for two or three inches.
The proportion of water is about three
quarts to 18 pounds of fruit. Cook
until the grapes burst, and the juice
exudes, crushing ocasionally with a
wooden spoon. Put a colander ever a
large jar. and cover with a square of
cheesecloth. Turn fruit and juice
into this, drain, measure and return
to a clean preserving kettle. Let it
come to a boil and skim. Now add
sugar to taste (a half cup to each
quart is a good proportion!, stir un
til dissolved, then cook five min
utes, skimming carefully. Have ready
cans or bottles sterilized and heated
in pans of boiling water. Fill with
the hot juice, then seal. If bottles
are employed be sure the corks are
sterilized as well as the bottles them
selves. The most convenient bottles
to use are the self-sealing pop or beer
bottles. Keep in a cool, dark place.
If preferred, the grapes may bo
cooked without water, then diluted
when ready to drink. *
Overskirts Again.
How fashionable dressmakers do en
joy making poor women miserable!
They now assert that overskirts are
coming "in." and although a more un
aesthetic sartorial style never afflict
ed civilization, that does not keep the
garment from being admired by the
powers of the fashionable world. A
brown crepe de chine costume just re
ceived from Paris demonstrates the
overskirt vogue. It is made with
three bias ruffles around the bottom
of the full petticoat. Over this, in thin
cloth of the same shade, are draped
two deep points, one back and the
other front, the points falling to the
bottom of the skirt, the drapery at one
