NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF NE
BRASKA TAKES OFFICE.
THE OUTGOING UNO INCOMING
Recommendations of O'd and New
Governors Read Before Two Houses
in Joint Convention.
In the presence of members of both
branches of the legislature and a
crowd which packed the house gallery
and lobby, Governor John H. More
head and the minor executive officers
of the state for the next two years
were sworn into office on the 9th. As
has been customary in the state the
ceremony was simple and informal.
N Retiring Governor Aldrich and the
new executive read their recommenda
tions to the legislature, the oath was
administered to the incoming officers
and the joint session adjourned as the
crowd dispersed.
The inauguration took place in rep
resentative hall. Shortly after 2
o'clock members of the senate arrived
and took seats reserved for thmn.
The joint session was called to order
with Speaker Kelley and Lieutenant
Governor McKe'.vie presiding. Com
mittees were appointed to notify the
retiring and incoming governors that
the legislature was ready to receive
them. Each w'as given generous ap
plause as he appeared with his com
mittee escort.
The messages of both governors
were longer than usual, covering a
wide range of proposed legislation
and going into considerable detail as
to some of it.
The oath was administered to the
new' set of state officers by by Chief
Justice Manoah B. Reese. Following
are the men inducted into office.
John H. Morehead, governor.
S. R. McBride, lieutenant governor.
Addison Wait, secretary of state.
William B. Howard, state auditor.
Walter A. George, treasurer.
James E. Delzell, state superintend
ant.
H. G. Taylor, railway commissioner.
Governor Morehead. in his inaugu
ral address, differs materially in his
stand on a number of matters of great
intereST to the state from that of Gov
ernor Chester Aldrich. Among these
are the board of control, development
of water power and university re
moval.
Governor Aldrich comes out strong
ly against public ownership of water
power development, urges caution in
the enactment of laws so that they
will not be so drastic as to frighten
away capital, and thinks it might come
under the same system of regulation
as the railroads.
Governor Morehead recommends an
appropriation for the investigation of
the water pow'er resources, before any
legislation is enacted, and asserts that
the rights to the same should be re
served to the people, and relinquished
only under proper leases from the
state, whereby the rates and uses of
the same are fully controlled.
Governor Aldrich goes so far in his
board of control recommendations as
to advicote that any member or officer
of the board or institution under its
control, who either directly or indi
rectly tries to influenoe another mem
ber or appointee, or attempts to get
him to adopt bis political views, or to
favor any particular candidate for of
fice, should be removed from office.
Governor Morehead says he will en
deaver to name honest, intelligent men
to this board, and hopes that by buy
ing supplies for the state through the
purchasing agent, and adopting better
business methods, they can bring a
much more efficient and economical
administration.
Spencer Will Contest.
The secretary of state has received
official notification that Charles F.
Spencer of Lexington, a democrat, will
dispute the seat of W. \V. Stebbens,
a republican, for a chance to repre
sent the Sixty-seventh representative
district in the coming session of the
legislature.
Legislative Notes
J. J. McAllister of Dakota City pre
sented Speaker Ke'ley with a gavel,
recodifying committee and report on
the work of revising the statutes.
Secretary of the Senate Barnard
will stamp and mail all letters placed
on his desk by the senators. They
will not be allowed to handle their
own stamps.
Though no democrats landed from
Douglas county in the house, several
democrats from Omaha will get jobs
in the lower branch.
The senate decided not to pay its
employees until they started to work.
InUhe house pay starts as soon as the
appointment is made, though some em
ployees do not work for two weeks.
A Legislative Issue
State ownership of telephones and
telegraph companies and of water
power sites and development com
panies will be one of the issues
brought before the present legislature.
I nless a marked change in sentiment
appear.-;, the questfon of state owner
ship will not get very far. The major
ity of the members of both houses be
’ieve the time Is not ripe for the s’atp
to embark in such business enter
prises, and in‘the second place the
pressing-of the question will bring a
flock of corporation lobbyists.
Legislation for Boys and Girls.
Measures, governing street labor by
children- and advancing the age limit
of boys etnployed as night messengers
are being drafted by Judge Howard
Kennedy of the juvenile court of
Omaha, to be submitted to the legisla
ture this session. A more stringent
law governing the sale of opium prob
ably will also be drafted by the juve
nile judge. The child street labor law
would be separate from the child labor
law now on the Nebraska statutes,
while the night messenger-boy meas
ure would be oR«r*d as an amendment.

the speaker. Mr. Stebbins was elect
ed by three votes, and Mr. Spencer al

Indians Have a Bill.
Northeast Nebraska Indians are
going to take a hand in the bill to be
presented at the present session of the
legislature, which is designed to clear

them. The measure will legalize all

under the tribal forms and will rec

sixty-six feet, and roads having the
irregular width of more than fifty-four
feet, will be cut down to the latter
dimension under the proposed enact
ment. This will leave at each side of
the sixty-six-foot highway a strip six
fee. ■ id’'. The biil will cede this to
adjoining property owners.
Demand for Fish Met
For the first time in the history of
the game warden's department, ac
cording to a report by Chief Game
Warden Miller, he has been able to
meet all demands In the last bien
nium for fish for public and private
waters. During the biennium 20,
771,120 fish have been distributed over
the state in waters where application
had been made for a supply. Of this
number the greater proportion were
wall-eyed pike, of which 18,625,000
were put out. Brook trout came
to the number of 812,750.
Three Fascinating Frocks Designed
for the Really Smart Dresser
1. The new tunic in blue Liberty satin with panels of brocade, skfrt
edget with black fox. 2. A harmony in black velvet and white tu/le, edged
here and there with white fox. 3. A graceful frock in biscuit clcth with
collar, sleeve revers and sash in ermine. A small red tie supplies the
inevitable bright touch.
JEWEL CASE AND PINCUSHION
Double Convenience for the Woman
Who Is Required to Do Consider
able Traveling.
One of the most convenient little
accessories to the toilet for the wo
man who travels about a great deal
is a small jewel case and pincushion
combined.
It is made of a piece of fancy rib
bon or plain satin twelve inches long
and six inches wide. The material is
sewed together lengthwise. then
divided into three parts, four inches
in each, either by stitching it on the
machine or with very close cross
stitch or featherstitching.
Do this stitching four inches from
one side first, then fill the center with
wool to form the cushion in which to
stick the pins, then stitch it across
four inches from the other end.
There you have a solid center with
hollow end, and these ends are turned
in to form a hem one inch wide. In
these a small casing is run, with nar
row ribbon placed through that so as
to pull it up like a little bag on each
end.
This makes a flat cushion in thfe
center, having baglike ends in which
the jewelry is kept, brooches, brace
lets, rings, chains and the watch, when
it is not in use. The cushion can be
decorated with some pretty design
done in cross-stitch or an embroidered
initial or a small spray of flowers.
Such a case can be made of any
material you may choose. Brocaded
satin is always pretty; plain satin cov
ered with lace or coarse linen that can
be laundered will be found a satis
factory substitute for other more ex
pensive fabrics.
One side of the cushion may be
used for jewels and the other for
sewing material?—cotton, scissors,
needles, etc.—or lor a soft ball of
darning cotton, that is always handy
to have when traveling.
This combination cushion and case
will make a splendid gift for the
young girl who Is attending boarding
school or for one aw'ay from home.
FEATHER-TRIMMED CHAPEAU.
This hat is composed of violet vel
vet, the brim being deeper over the
back of the neck, and is trimmed
with a plume of ostrich feathers
drooping over the left side.
Silk Lace Scarfs.
Silk Spanish lace scarfs, dyed to
! match the gown, are in favor for eve
l ning use. Some of the handsomest
i scarfs ,at presen* are made of a tine
| crepe de chine with insets of em
I broidered voile in the border design.
! One very lovely one shown by a Chest
! nut street importer is of a beautiful
rose color, handsomely embroidered,
with exquisite roses also embroidered
j on the large voile insets. In all the
i decoration the finest graduations of
; rose color melting into white were
used.
Tray Tables.
The Tripoli tray table is a thing of
parts—three in number. There is a
large top tray, a small tray (which
fits on supports a third way up the
legs of the stand) and the folding
stand. When not in use this four
legged stand may be folded and
stowed away in a small space. The
trays are made of bamboo, and are
strong yet light in weight, and can
be easily washed. This table would
be very ornamental for a tea or re
freshment table in a bachelor maid's
den.
BEST SCENTS FOR THE BATH
Much Choice Is Possible, and a Wo
man May l)6e Any Particular Per
fume Which She May Prefer.
The commonest form of the bath
as a beautifier is the bi,'.n bath. This
particular bath has the advantage of
being inexpensive and efficient at the
same time. The bran should be sewn
into a neat little square sack of
cheesecloth covering, and dropped into
the bath when the water is run In.
The water must not be too hot, or the
bran will be cooked and thus rendered
useless, but if warm water is poured
on it a creamy mass is formed, which
will render the skin delightfully soft, i
For those who wish to be a little more
elaborate there are sold at chemists
and stores little sacks of bran mixed
with various perfumed herbs, accord
ing to taste, such as violets, orris root
and sunflower seed.
The milk bath is not unusual, and
is is claimed that it has no rival in
beautifying the skin. One well known
beauty in Paris is understood to use
milk for her bath always, and the skin
of her throat and shoulders is as
creamy a white as the liquid she is J
supposed to bathe them with. Of
course, one would not actually get
right into a milk bath as one does
with water. The milk is applied on
wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to
prevent any stickiness, it is rubbed
gently with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial
to the use of alcohol in the bath.
It is perfumed in some way with such
scents as lavender or violet, and those
who indulge in these baths or the
bran ones use soap only once or twice
a week.
Sea bathing is probably the most
bracing and the best form for the
robust, but in a climate such as ours \
it cannot be recommended except in
the hot months, unless the bather is j
very strong. Those who are unfor- !
tunate enough to possess very irrita- '
hie skins will do well to eschew sea ;
baths altogether.
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or borax, ihich
not only softens the water, but is inval
uable for cleaning the skin. It is nec
essary, however, to exercise caution
in the use of these two articles, for an !
overdose in the bath, instead of mak- ;
ing the skin soft and supple, will J
harden it and make it much too dry.
Dark Furs Becoming.
It seems odd that so few should |
realize that dark furs are much more !
becoming than light, that is, to the |
average woman. Sable, mink, black
fox, make her complexion look a' its
very best, whereas ermine, white fox,
miniver and squirrel have exactly the i
contrary effect.
The newest way of wearing the j
stole is to put the middle of it on in !
front, pass the ends over the shoul
ders, crossing them at the back and
bringing them forward under the
arms. Even fur capes with their
] rounded or pointed back are worn
! in this fashion, certainly very warm
1 -nd comfortable, though slightly un
1 orthodox.
Art In Making Bows.
A woman who can tie a bow well
I possesses an inborn talent not to be
i easily acquired. Bow makers in some
| dress centers have a calling of their
! own. We want bows for sashes, mil
j linery. and so many purposes. The
j new Japanese sash bow has four short
| loops and two ends of uneven length.
| For lingerie there is the shower
I rosette of narrow ribbon with knotted
' ends, and the pin wheel with six
| short loops ail the same length and
i two ends knotted into a circle. The
pin wheel rosett ?s figure in children's
millinery, especially in gauze ribbon.
Very pretty for ball or evening head
dress is a twisted band of gold and
silver ribbon with roses and buds
made of satin ribbon. Ribbon flowers
are greatly worn, so are all kinds of
daisies made of white ribbon with yel
low centers, and large roses are .asily
constructed of soft satin.
Tomatoes and Mushrooms.
Cut some large tomatoes into halves
scoop out some of the pulp, mix it
with 10 or 12 chopped button mush
rooms, two ounces of bread crumbs
pepper and salt to taste and an ounce
of butter. Fill the tomatoes with this
mixture, bake in a moderate oven.
LOYAL FRIEND BOB
Scheme to Separate Lovers De
feated by a Wild Flight in
an Airship.
By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.
A young man, well dressed and
clever faced, coming rapidly down the
principal street of Fairview, suddenly
paused and stared ahead in a startled
way. He had apparently observed
some one he did not wish to meet, and
he turned down a side lane at a brisk,
excited walk.
"It’s the constable, sure enough,”
he said under his breath, "and I feel
pretty sure he must be looking for
me." The speaker glanced appre
hensively back the way he had come,
and then broke into a run.
It was a singular position, that in
which Cecil Morse found himself.
Briefly stated, he was bent upon run
ning away to get married. Others,
including his legal guardian, Lawyer
Grabbe, and his old maid daughter,
Portia, and their hired emissary, the
town constable, were set on nipping
the golden progress of love's young
dream in the bud.
Cecil was heir to a liberal fortune.
He lived with the Grabbe family. The
lawyer was intent on keeping a hold
on his ward and his fortune as long
as he could. Incidentally he plotted
to enmesh the young man in the
snares of the somewhat faded beauty
of the classic Portia.
Now, Cecil had loved and won
Claire Wyndham, who lived over in
the next county. Her father was a
tyrannical old fellow who had heard
of the mutual attachment, thundered
out that the lovers were too young to
think of wedding bells, and had set
his foot down—hard.
The result was a plot on the part
of the lovers. The Wyndhams were
going to take Claire to Europe the
following week. In the meantime she
had gained permission to visit a
schoolgirl chum at Brookville. There
Cecil had been the day previous.
There, too, all the arrangements had
been Tnade for an elopement the next
Sent His Machine Through Some Hair
Raising Gyrations.
evening. .lust now, Cecil had gone to
a garage to secure the automobile he
had engaged for the trip.
The auto man was his friend. He
told Cecil that the constable had been
there looking for him. The lawyer
had got wind of Cecil's plan to leave
town, aud was bound to circumvent it.
"I’m your friend, Cecil,” said the
garage keeper, "so I warn you. They
have the west turnpike guarded. The
constable is looking for you with a
warrant.”
| "But I have committed no crime!”
exploded the Indignant young man.
“No. but the lawyer has secured
the warrant on some flimsy charge.
| The judge is his friend. They will
lock you up without bail for a week,
and by that time—”
"Claire will be on her way to Eu
rope—never!” declared Cecil to him
self. and left the garage—to take
flight at his first sight of the con
stable, who was now in actual pur
suit of him.
Cecil was a crack sprinter. His one
thought was to get out of town. He
would trust to luck for guidance, once
clear of his pursuer. Turning into an
open stretch he discovered half a mile
away a high board fence.
"The very thing!" he cried exulting
ly. "if my friend Bob Archer, is only
on hand."
There had been an aeroplane meet
at Fairview for several days. Inside
the inclosure was Archer, who was an
airship enthusiast. He and Cecil had
become great friends. The runner
shot a rapid glance behind him. Less
than a quarter of a mile away the
constable was hot on his trail.
Cecil followed the rounding fence
until he came to a narrow open door
way. It was a private entrance to the
grounds. The guard sat on a stool
midway in the aperture, his back
towards him. Cecil could not afford
to lose time in an endeavor to per
suade this sentiflpl to allow him in
gress. He simply ran ud against the
man, tipped him flat off the stool,
and sped on. followed by the execra
tions of his astounded victim.
"There is the Flyer." cheered Cecil,
promptly making for a hangar beyond
which a three-passenger biplane was
getting ready for a flight. He recog
nized the machine belonging to Bob.
and its owner near by. All out of
breath. Cecil ran up to his friend
"Bob " he planted, "I'm in trouble!
Got to get away from Fairview.”
"Yon don't say so!” exclaimed
Archer "Where to. may I ask?”
“Brookville. and quick. The con
stable is after me. Bob, it's about—
what I hinted to you—the girl t
love. They are trying to separate us.”
"Jump in—the left seat back of the
pilot post,” directed the young air
man. "Strap yourself in. Give her a
run. boys," he directed to his assist
ants.
Chug—chug!—the aerial beauty
sped over the grass for thirty feet.
Bob shot on the power.
"Hold on, there! Stop that ma
chine! In the name of the law—"
"The mischief!” gasped Cecil.
Tbev were leaving the ground, but
not alone. Through his official author
ity to enter the grounds the constable
had fairly overtaken his prey. He
had jumped at the machine and
skimmed one of the wings. To pre
vent damage and save him from a fall,
Bob was forced to grab the bulky offi
cial and drag him into the vacant
seat.
"Stop this machine!" flared the con
stable. “I’ve got a warrant—”
"Can't stop—got to finish this
curve first. Here. Cecil, strap him in
if he dosn't want a tip.”
"Ugh! all!” spluttered the official
turning pale as the biplane shot sky
wards like an arrow.
"Slip on that helmet," continued
Bob, with a wink at Cecil. “Now
then, the buffers, and the non-concus
sion head piece."
"See here—I don't—I won't!’
puffed out the constable, as, securely
strapped in his seat, the steel and
leather head pieces were forced upon
him till he was well nigh suffocated
and looked like a diver.
“Murder! let me out!" suddenly
yelled the involuntary passenger, but
he squirmed in vain. He had forgot
ten all official dignity by this time.
Half frightened to death, as the mis
chievous Bob sent the Flyer on a
circling sweep that fairly took the j
breath away, his uncomfortable victim I
nearly fainted.
"Oh, let me out—let me out!” plead
ed the shivering official.
Bob did not exactly engage in any
"shoot-the-chutes" maneuvers, but he
did send his machine through sojne
decidedly hair-raising gyrations.
Meantime, Cecil enjoyed it all He
trusted to Bob. and this loyal friend
and expert aviator certainly took him
through.
Once, in the spectacular flight, he
leaned towards Cecil and received
detailed instructions. There he vol
planed, made a circuit, and the Flyer
landed in an open field near Brook
ville, easy and graceful as a bird
sinking to its nest.
Cecil quickly removed his safety
belt and sprang to the ground.
"Hold on, there!" shouted the con
stable, “I’ve got a warrant for that
young man.”
"No good in this district, officer."
smiled Bob. "We've landed just over
the county line.”
Cecil Morse disappeared. He was
to reappear at the Wyndham home
two days later. The happy wedded
pair had sent a honeymoon wire to
Papa Wyndham, pathetically telling
him how sorry, but still how happy
they were. The reply telegram had
conveyed to them the time-honored
sentiment: “Come home, and all will
be forgiven!”

AS TO TRAIN FLIRTATIONS
Drummer Gave Fatherly Advice to a
Talkative Young Woman, and
Was Rewarded.
‘‘Fifteen years on the road and not
a flirtation yet, is my record," said the
needle and thread drummer. ‘‘The
only time a beauty ever spoke to me
on the train was down in West Vir
ginia on the way to Wheeling.
‘Do you know what time we get
there?" she inquired.
“ ‘Six-thirty,’ I told her.
“ ‘You know.’ she continued, ‘I was
never on a train before. It seems so J
strange to me!’
“To make a long story short, she
was the kind you read about in books,
but seldom meet in real life—the real j
innocent flower. When we got to
Wheeling I put her on tile car for |
Pittsburgh, her destination, and gave j
her some fatherly advice about speak
ing to strangers.
“About three months later 1 was un
packing the sample trunk after the
long trip when the stock boy said
there was some one down stairs to see
me. There stood the girl and her
father, who was a judge down in his
own state.
“ ‘I wish to thank you, sir. for yout
kindness to my daughter while travel
ing.' he said warmly.
“I assured him it was nothing un j
usual, but he thought otherwise and
insisted on my taking dinner with him j
that evening."
“And since then you have wondered
who she was?” put in the button man j
“No,” said the needle and thread
drummer. "She’s my wife now.”
Traitor’s Tower.
In Reroea we saw a huge tower in
recent ruin. Great blocks of stone lie
around In confusion, and piles of bro
ken brick, mortar and masonary de
claring what a mighty structure must
have once existed there.
The intelligent and wealthy Greek
gentleman who kindly served as our
guide told us that this tower w-hich
had been sealed ufc by the Turks since
the twelfth century, had lately been
destroyed by the “Young Turks,” and
that for a curious reason. It seems
that in the eleventr and twelfth cen
turies Reroea was in the height of its
power. It was a city larger and more
important than Salonica even, but il
was betrayed to the Turks by a recre
ant Christian, and the punishment oi
the traitor, occording to tradition, was
that he must wander around the tow
er night after night through all the
centuries until the Christians came
again and he should give the keys of
the city back to their former owners

Christian domination, eo pervaded the

Cause for Turkey Shortage.
Every one of the boarders was tus i
sling with the question: "Why are tur- !
keys scarce and high this season?”
At length the star boarder came for- i
ward with this solution: “You see. the
turkeys are very fond of apple orch- ;
ards. This was a good year for ap- |
pies. While the fowl(s) were out
scratching in the apple orchard, the
numerous apples falling from the
trees hit the turkeys on the heads,
killing them. Hence the present
scarcity.”
A long silence followed this infor
mation. Then the cheerful idiot re
marked mildly: “1 had attributed the
turkey shortage to fatalities from
ever exercise in the turkey trot."—

Army Officer Musn't Umpire.
It is found in the army that it will
not do to let officers act as umpires
in ball games and orders have been
issued to forbid it. It seems that the
players take advantage of the great
American baseball player’s right to
abuse the umpire, and it is found that
it destroys the army discipline, when
the umpire is an officer, to have pri
vates call him such names as "mutt,”
"bone-head,” etc.

"Yes, Miss Kitty; you must always

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couple’s Experience.
How many persons dread to eat
their n#als, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never Intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are—
indigestion and its accompanying mis
eries.
A Phila. lady said:
“My husband and I have been sick
and nervous for 15 or 20 years from
drinking cofTee—feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is
just as injurious, because it contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cof
fee.)
“We tried doctors and patent medi
cines that counted up into hundreds
of dollars, with little if any benefit.
“Accidentally, a small package of
Postum came into my hands. I mads
some according to directions, with
surprising results. We both liked if
and have not used any coffee since.
“The dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way.
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee.” Name giv
en upon request. Read the little book,
“The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.
Postum now comes iu concentrated,
powder form, called Instant Postum.
It is prepared by stirring a level tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding
sugar to taste, and enough cream to
bring the color to golden brown.
Instant Postum is convenient:
there’s no waste: and the flavor is
always uniform. Sold by grocers—
50-cup tin 30 cts., 100-cup tin 50 cts.
A 5-cup trial tin mailed for grocer’s
name and 2-cent stamp for postage.
