THEY HIM APPEAL STATE’S INDEBTEDNESS HIGHER THAN FOR YEARS. GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL Items of Interest Gathered from Re liable Sources and Presented in Condensed Form to Our Readers. Only about 40 per cent of the volume of water claimed by the Kearney Water & Electric Power company as the amount which it is entitled to take from the Platte river has been allowed by the state board of irrigation. In a i set of findings prepared by State En i gineer Price, which the board adopted, the Kearney company is given authori ty to divert 140 cubic feet per second I for power purposes and 22 cubic feet i for irrigation. In its application filed | with the board last December, the com : pany asked permission to take 400 j cubic feet per second *for power and | 25 cubic feet for irrigation. The com i pany claims that its needs are meas i ured by these figures and it will prob ; ably appeal from the allowance made I by the board as inadequate. — Thinks Legislature to Blame. The state’s floating indebtedness September 1 amounted to $500,016 more than it has in many years past. The sum represents the total of the I registered warrants now outstanding | upon which the state has to pay a 4 i per cent interest—usually for an aver- : age time between sixty and ninety days. The state treasurer holds the j legislature blameable for the big debt j and likewise says that the county I treasurers are not doing all that they : can. because they do not make remit- '■ tances to the office as often as they should. Back of it all the state's rev- j enue and taxation laws and the desire j of the people to maintain their state i government and institutions on a so-; called higher plane caused the in- i creased debt. Solution to the prob- j lem. that is, the submission of some j plan whereby the state can operate | in a more businesslike way than in the j past two or three years, is to be j brought forward by the tax commis sion. Where Should it Be Assessed? If a farmer lives in one township and has live stock located in another township not connected with his home place, where should the stock be as sessed? The question has been raised many times in the last few years and j under the present law the state board of assessment and the attorney gen eral have decided that it should be assessed in the township where the stock is being held. The district court of Wheeler county, however, in re versing the county board, decided that it should be assessed in the township where the farm residence is located. The matter has come to the attorney general's- office in the hope that the' suit can be appealed and the supreme ' court can be prevailed upon to voice j its opinion in the matter. The point j has never been passed upon by the higher court. Will Stop in Sixty-seven Towns. , The milk cow train to be run under j the auspices of the state university and the Nebraska Dairymen’s associa- i ♦ion in co-operation with the North western and Burlington railroads will ; travel approximately 1,500 miles and will pass through and make stops of | sixty-seven towns in the following counties: Knox, Pierce, Madison.

WHERE OFFICIALS ARE WOMEN French Petit Bourgeoise in Village of Froissy Fill All the Important Public Posts. Paris.—In contrasting woman as a butterfly and as a busy bee. the Lon don Graphic comments on the small amount of clothing worn by the fash ionable woman of today and the mas culine attire aped by some freakish women, and calls attention to tbe fact that women who really compete with men in hard work stick to the con servative clothes of their sex. This is particularly true of the French work ing woman. The French peasant wom an fills a big place in the agricultural life of France, while in the towns we find the petite bourgeoise taking an active share in commerce—a widow often running a business entirely alone. These facts explain the exist ence of Froissy, a village in the de partment of l'Oise, on the borders of l'lsle de France and Picardy, with a population of between 500 and 600 souls. And in this very exceptional village all the public posts are filled by women. The station master (chef de gare) Is Mme. Taillefer. Her husband is a guard. It does not trou ble him that he has to take occasion al official instructions from his wife. He knows that if she were a guard and he the station master the home (le foyer) would suffer. Think also what a community of interests these two billets provide for them! Frois sy gets its daily mall delivered by a woman postman (factrlce), while it is the businesa of another employe des postes to Eee the outward mail aboard the train. In Froissy there is no such person as a male barber. All the men's beads are placed at the mercy of Mils. Jeanne Marchandin, the gen tle barbiere, who with skillful hands shaves or cuts the hair of all her friends. They are her friends, for who would quarrel with the only bar ber in the place? The most striking and interesting figure in the com munity, however, is Mme. Druhon Marchandin. Hers is the task of her alding all Important public events with drum music—weddings, for in stance. She has an erect, martial fig ure, strongly marked and humorous features, and bears proudly the weight of her eighty years. An odd occupa tion for a woman is that of road mend der (cantonniere). Lastly, there is the young telegraphist, who keeps Froissy in touch with the outside world. Women's occupations are not always of an alluring nature. The Viennese butcher is a case in point.

St. Louis.—Monroe Rodgers, twelve years old, Is recovering at the city hospital after having undergone an operation in which a silver tube was Inserted In his breast and placed against the pericardium of his heart to drain a liquid which threatened to stop the beating of his heart. The operation is the first of its kind ever performed at the city hos pital and is considered one of the most dangerous operations known to medical science. It was performed by Dr. Fred Hagler and two assist ants. The physicians said the boy will be well in a few days. Monroe entered the hospital July 5 suffering from a stone bruise on the right foot. The physicians noticed that at times his face became purple and he showed signs of difficult breathing. A consultation was held and It was decided that his blood either had congealed in some section near the heart or a foreign substance bad caused an enlargement of the pericardium. An X-ray was made and it was found that the pericardium was three times its normal size. Only an op eration could save the boy's life. SLEEPS AS WHEN SHE SITS Woman Hss Mysterious Malady Only Awake When Standing on Her Feet. Weehawken, N. J.—Miss Alice Gel ser of Weehawken Is the victim of a peculiar malady which physicians say is without parallel in medical annals. She cannot keep awake unless she stands up. If she sits or lies down she soon becomes unconscious. The affliction differs from the sleep ing sickness of Africa, in that Miss Gelser has been troubled with her un usual somnolence for two years, while the course of the African disease is about two weeks. Although she has been under eon stant medical treatment for two years, no headway has been made toward a our*. Miss Gelser, in all other re spects, is a normal, healthy young woman.
