— w*— ^ Appropriation May Lapse. The $9,500 appropriated by the late legislature' for building a‘brick addi tion to the hospital at the Soldiers’ home at Grand Island is liable to lapse back into the state treasury- The State Beard of Public -Lands and Buildings is not going to make any more improvements at the home until the title to the property is quieted in the state. The bii provides that this appropriation shal become available only after the title is vested in the state. When the board made an effort, to get the tangle straightened out some of the original signers refused to sign the deed until they had been paid $2,000. This the board had no authority to pay. Attorney Genera! Thompson then brought suit to quiet title in the state. Should the state lose the suit then the board will not make any more permanent improve ments. Should the state win the suit there will be nothing to prevent the legislature from removing the home, to Milford should it desire. Heretofore it has been the custom for the adherents of Grand Island to urge the: it was provided in the deej that the home should not be removed from the Hall county town. Inasmuch as the orders of the board have been disobeyed at Grand Island and the board has had considerable trouble managing the home, there is a dis position on the part of the individual members to assist in any movement lending to move the home to Milford. - Clarke to Have a Hearing. Harrison Clarke will have a hearing before Governor Sheldon December 9, at which time the chief executive will decide whether he is entitled to a commutation of sentence. He renews -the charge made after his trial in Omaha that his lawyers were selected for him by Judge Sutton of Douglas county in the face of a request t< re tain his own counsel and that the. at tomeys consulted him but once pre vious to trial and that in effect his .care was ‘ railroaded” through the trial court. He asks the governor to commute his death sentence to one for li«!, or if on reading the record, the governor shall conclude that he is no more guilty than Cathright, al ready sentenced to fifteen yeai.i, to make the term of the same length. A letter containing his request was received by Governor sheldon. who, on reading it, fixed December 9 as the time for a hearing. The date of execution has already been fixed by the supreme court at December 33. Law Reaches Farmers Too. A citizen of Brainard complains that he bought two dozen eggs from a farmer for which he paid the high est market price for fresh eggs and that out of the two dozen only seven were fit fer use. The theory ad vanced is that the farmers pack theii eggs earlier in the season, holding them for the higher price, and then market them at the highest price without reference to their condition. When evidence can he obtained by the food commissioner that is definite and certain as to this bad egg v-heat prosecution will be instituted against fanners as well as grocervmen and others who sell bad eggs. The com missioner holds that the farmers who persistently sell bad eggs, bad cream and low grade milk to the townspeo ple are deserving the penalties pro vided in the pure food law and there will be no leniency shown to the sel ler because he is a farmer. Governor Endorses President's Ideas. "President Roosevelt is intensely in t«*rested In saving the natural re sources of the country,” said Gover nor Sheldon, in discussing his invita tion to meet the president and other governors in Washington next Stay to discuss the question of the salva tion of the country’s resources. "He is going to do all he can to get the most good out of the rivers and at the same time protect the forests. I may be able to attend the meeting, hough I believe the congressmen know the wishes of the people about as well as the governors and could get along very well without suggestions from the governors.” Packers and the Food Law. The case against Armour & Co. for r.ot branding their meat packages has k been continued by County Attorney v Tyrrell to December 10. In connec tion with this case L. W. McCandless of Chicago, attorney for Armour & Co., writes the food commissioner that he is endeavoring to have the packers come to an agreement where by they will comply with the law in which case the pending suits will probably be dismissed. To Get Guard in Shape. Adjutant Gerenal Schwarz has re ceived an order from the war cepart ment showing the rules applying to the organization of the National Guard to be effective January 1, 1908 The adjutant general is urged, if his guard is not already organized along the lines indicated, to secure such legis lation as will be necessary to meet the requirements. With the exception of a few details, the guard is now or ganized along the lines set out and orders w!l be issued to meet demands of the department. Death of J. Sidney Wilson. Deputy Insurance Auditor Pierce received news of the death of J Sid ney Wilson, a stenographer in his of fice, which took place at the home of his father, Aaron Wilson, who lives near Tekamah. Mr. Wilson was 29 years of age and was regarded as one \of the most capable stenographers in the state house. He was appointed by Auditor Weston and was retained by Auditor Searle. He has been sick for nearly two years and has not been in the office for a year. His ailment was hardening of the soleen. Cig r.loney in Alfalfa. "Running well over the mark of $11,* 590,000, the value of the alfalfa raised in 1907 shows pretty conclu sively that the farmers of Nebraska are fully awake to the importance o.' this great fodder crop,” said Labor Commissioner Ryder. "The figures on the state production of alfalfa have just been completed, and give a total production of 1,450,759 tons. Figured at a very conservative valuation, this is worth $11,606,072. The total acreage was reported a» 455,592. and the average yield is 3.16 tons per acre, which Mr. Ryder in sists is away within the'facts, and re ports from other sources bear out his judgment. Dawson county leads in acreage, with 27,393, but Buffalo Is in the lead on production, with 93,810 tons, while Dawson totals 93.132. Buffalo's acre age is 26,803. There are four coun ties reporting an acreage of over 20, 600, ten counties report an acreage of from 10,000 to 17.000. Only six coun ties are given a value of less than $10,000 for the crop. Trust Must Obey Law. The alleged cracker trust found an eloquent advocate in the person of I'nited States Senator A. J. Hopkins of Illinois. In company with At torney L. Babst of New York he called on Governor Sheldon find asked that the National Biscuit com pany be relieved from the burden of placing net weight bands on pack ages. BaLst is the New York at torney who cordial!y invited Food Commissioner Johnson to come to Chicago to talk matters over, the cracker concern tn pay all expenses. Johnson refused and gave Babst's let ter to the newspapers. Babst. rein forced by Senator Hopkins, pleaded with Sheldon to set aside the pro visions of the pure fond law. Sheldon declared tha" he musi enforce the statutes and the cracker concern must c-bey the law or suffer the conse quences. Roads Report on Traffic. The railroad commission has /om piled the aggregate business of the railroads of the state for August from, reports that have been submitted to them. The total state and interstate freight business for August was $600, 000 more than in July and the total receipts for passenger business, both from state and interstate ticket sales, was ever $100,000 more for the mid summer month. Figures for state business are as fol i lows: J .lui:, Alienist I Freight received .$638 $66.10 $938,123.20 Frt. forwarded... f»8K.722 73 880,401.94 Ticket salt's.430.033 66 463.48a.u3 Figures for interstate business are: j July.

Remittances from counties is in- i creasing and in a short time it is be- j lieved the treasury will be in good conditiotj to meet the semi-annual school apportionment. This fund now [ amounts to $255,327 and collections will not cease until in the early part of December. The state treasurer must then certify to the state super intendent the amount available for the apportionment. Last, year $251, 000 was apportioned in December. The state auditor draws warrants later and receipts are sent to the var ious counties to be returned and signed and when these are returned the warrants are sent to the coun ties. All this will require until the first of the year and by that time it is believed the financial situation will be normal. Union Pacific Waives. Attorney General Thompson has been informed by Attorney Edson Rich for the Union Pacific that the road will waive examination in the matter of the Deuel county complaint charging the road with discrimination in supplying shippers with cars for live stock. This means that the road will be bound over to the district court and the attorney genera: will file an information in the district court. His first information was filed before a magistrate, the judge of the county court. The maximum penalty is a fine of $5,000. Hogs Dying of Cholera. Hog cholera is raging in the south ern counties of Nebraska and hun dreds of animals are dying daily. State Veterinarian McKim is busy visiting the various farms and rec ommending sanitary measures for stopping the epidemic. Big Attendance ct School. The second week of the University School of Agriculture is a surprise in the number of attendance to the of ; ficials of the school. The attendance at this time is 269. At the same time a year ago the attendance was 190. A fire company has been organized at the state house for the purpose of protecting the building in case of a spontaneous combustion due to the excess of hot air which daily per meates the building. The water pipes have been connected up and at inter vals on each floor is a reel of hose for use at any moment. The statutes makes the land commissioner re sponsible for the building and its con duct and Mr. Eaton is anxious that a company be organized ana each taem ber drilled in rolling the hose off of the reel in case of emergency. Nebraska Potato Crop. The bureau of statistics has just completed the tabulation of the figures on the potato crop of Nebraska for 1907. The total production is given as 6.262,220 bushels, valued at $4,696,665. Douglas county leads with a reported acreage of 7.961 and a production of 644.841 bushels. This represents an increase in acreage ten- Douglas of 5.740 acres. Second in acreage and production is Box Butte county, with 6,144 acres and a production of 430, ; 080 bushels. Sheridan county Rtands | third this year, with 347,000 bushels. WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE. Personal Experience Counted in Her Indorsement of New Pastor. ' A Philadelphia congregation was called upon not long ago to choose a pastor. The last three ministers had been persona non grata with most of the parishioners; and before selecting another the congregation did some pretty hard thinking. There was one woman of experience whose voice car ried particular weight. Preacher after preacher was invited to the pulpit for a trial sermon, and all, in the final analysis, were rejected by the female arbiter. At last there came along a possible incumbent who met with her approval. ‘The reason I am sure he will give satisfaction." she said, "is because he has the right kind of a wife for & minister. She allows him to rant around all he wants at home and doesn’t sass back. 1 found out a long while ago—shortly after I was mar ried myself, in fact—that a man who hasn’t that privilege at home works off his spleen elsewhere. A minister vents it on his congregation. That was why we couldn’t stand the last preacher. This one will be all right. We won’t hear a peep out of him." And upon that unique recommenda tion the congregation really did give the man a call. According to last ac counts both he and the congregation were doing well. The wife has not been heard from. BABY ITCHED TERRIELY. Face and Neck Covered with Inflamed Skin—Doctors No Avail—Cured by Cuticura Remedies. “My baby’s face and neck were cov ered with itching skin similar to ecze ma, and she suffered terribly for over a year. I took her to a number of doc tors, and aiso to different colleges, to no avail. Then Cuticura Remedies were recommended to me by Miss G—. I did not use it at first, as I had tried so many other remedies without any favorable results. At last 1 tried Cuti cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my surprise noticed an improvement. After using three boxes of the Cuti cura Ointment, together with the Soap and Pills. I am pieased to say she is altogether a different child and the picture of healtth. Mrs. A. C. Rrestlin, 171 N. Lincoln St., Chicago, UL, Oct. 20 and 30, 1906.” Not to Be Fooled. A city lad spent a part of last sum mer on a farm owned by his uncle. It was the boy’s first visit to the coun try, and everything on the farm was delightfully unfamiliar to him. One afternoon the youngster, who had been prowling about the chicken house, seized the product of one cack ling hen, and marched exultantly into the house with his prize. “Let me have it. son," said the farmer's wife, “and I’U cook it for your luncheon." “You must think I’m a greenhorn, auntie!" exclaimed the boy. “I guess the hen cooked it all right. It’s warm.”—Hari>er’s Weekly. Reliably Informed. “It must be lovely to be a success ful playwright,” she said, looking ad miringly at him. “isn't it?" “It is," said he, try ing not to seem proud. “I understand," she went on softly, “that you had a play last winter that ran for one consecutive night. Was that true?" “Yes," said he, frowning slightly. “And I have been told,” she con tinued, “that seven of your plays will be produced this winter.” “Who told you that?” he asked, his face all smiles again. “You did,” she said. He Was Grateful. David, a boy of four, was being taught to express thanks when the occasion demanded. When he neg lected to do so the other members of the family would ask: "What do you say, David?” which would always bring forth the desired results. One evening recently David and the young man who is to marry his sister were sitting on the front porch. “Well, David,” said the young man, ‘1 guess I’ll marry Sue and take her away. What do you say?” “Thank you,” returned the boy po litely. __ A Relief. Smith started up into a sitting pos ture. “Who are you?” he cried. The masked figure with the dark lantern and sawed-off shotgun turned, nonplused for the moment, from the bureau, and said, confusedly: “"Why, I am a—er—burglar.” Smith settled back upon the pillow, drawing the warm coverlets about his shoulders. “Thank goodness,” he murmured, sleepily; “i thought you were a plumber.” WHAT WAS nr The Woman Feared? What a comfort to find it is not “the j awful thing” feared, but only chronic j indigestion, which proper food can re- j lieve. A woman in Ohio Bays: “I was troubled for years with indi- j gestion and chronic constipation. At times 1 would have such a gnawing in my stomach that I actually feared I had a—I dislike to write or even think of what I feared. “Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts I decided to try it. After a short time 1 was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough. However, I was relieved of a bad case of dyspepsia by chang ing from Improper food to Grape-Nuts. “Since that time my bowels have been as regular as a clock. I had also noticed before I began to eat Grape Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about tbe house, which was very annoying. “But since the digestive organshave become strong from eating Grape Nuts, my memory is good and my mind as clear bb when I was young, and I am thankful.” Name given by Poetum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Saskatchewan and Alberta i Farmer* Doing Well. The interest that Western Canada has aroused for some years past is ! grp wing in intensity. The conditions j of the crop of 1337 are such that re-1 suits can be spoken of with eome de-j gree of certainty. The yield of grain 1 1 will be about S J.OOO.OOO bushels and : the price the farmers will realize for i ; it will be upwards of seventy million dollars. The oat crop was good in most places, and the crap cf barley wi3 be ve:y remunerative. Those who know of the generally unsatisfactory j : condition:; during the seeding, grow- 1 ing and ripening period in the United States during the past season, will ; leek with righteous distrust cn any statement intended to give the impres sion that Western Canada conditions were so much different. Generally, they were not, but the conditions of i a highly recuperative scii, long and continuous sunshine, are conditions possessed by Western Canada and not possessed by any other country on the i I Continent. This is why it is possible i to record today a fairly successful crop), when in most other places the I opposite is the case. The yield .in all | grains is less than last year, but the ; higher prices obtained mere than off I set any falling off in the yield. Take | for instance the Province of Sas- : katrhewan the wheat crop will be worth $21,135,000. Last year the same crop was 35 per cent, larger and the quality better. The yield was worth $24,000,000. Oats and barley are i very important factors in all three central Provinces. At Gladstone, Man ; itoba, returns from one farm were $27 ! per acre from the wheat land, $35 per j acre frem oats, and $30 per acre from i barley. The yield of wheat at Dauphin, Manitoba, was 20 to 24 bushels to the acre but not of a very good grade, S but the yield of barley in that section : was good and so was the quality and j price. At Meadow Lea, Manitoba. 15 ! to 20 bushels to the acre were thrashed, bringing a round dollar on ; the market. At Oak Lake. Manitoba, on some fields where 21 bushels were ! expected, twelve and fifteen was the result; others again where twenty was i lcoked for gave twenty-two to twenty- j ' five. One special patch south of town cn J. M. McFarlane's farm- went as ] high as thirty bushels to the acre. At Sheho, Saskatchewan, oats yielded ; from 00 to 65 bushels to the acre. Sam V,'under threshed 2,500 bushels from forty acres. The sample is geed and 'weighs Well. At Lioydmiaoter, Sas ; katchewan. Y7. Bibbv threshed 97 bushels of oats to the acre, and two others were but little behind. Wheat | here reached 35 bushels. At Portage ' la Prairie. Manitoba, frem a quarter section all in crop. Alex. McKinnon cf I lngleside threshed an average of 33 bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant ' had 190 acres, yielding C.000 bushels . : of the same grade. These illustrations i | taken from widely distant districts | (and thousands of others could be : produced) show that the year 1907 has . J not felt the serious effects from severe winter, late spring, or unfavorable I conditions during the growing season , that might have been antitepated.

Collier was standing at the cur tain “peep-hole," sizing up the audi ence. “How’s the house, Willie?” asked another player. “Well.” answered Collier, “there are some out there.
