Clover fields in Podge county arc dead and will have to he plowed up and seeded to other crops, it is said. Work has commenced on Kearney’s new hotel. The structure will lie seven stories high. Hundreds of tons of dead fish, most ly carp and buffalo, strewn along the bunk' of the Klkhorn river in Podge county are being hauled by fanners onto field' for fertilization purposes. The fish are believed to have either frozen or smothered to death during the past winter. Farmers in Podge and surrounding counties are plowing up the winter wheat fields and reseeding to spring wheat or other grain. Much of the land will be planted to corn. It is es timated that there is not over a tenth of the winter wheat crop alive. Th** big Questions to lie taken uj> by the Nelmiskn Association of Cominer i ial clubs at the annual meeting next month at Alliance will lie irrigation, dry farming and co-operation between the farmer anil federal government in relation to the present intensive farm ing agitation. “if a stranger refuses to halt after being challenged, shoot first and inves tigate afterward." This is an order given to guardsmen stationed on bridges near Omaha as the result of an attnek on a member of company R recently. An apple crop, far in excess of 1910. and probably among the largest yields In the state, is predicted this year by horticultural experts unless unfore seen dryness of the summer should be felt. The tiering Community club Is con ducting a campaign to obtain support for a municipal band. It is planned to have a hand as a part of the club's ' welfare work. Word has reached Harrison that Fort Robin-on. a military post 25 miles east of town, has been chosen a training cantp for soldiers. Michael Knelss. aged 101 years, died at his home in Ravenna a few days He had lived in the community ever since it was settled, being one of the homesteaders. A shipment of spring lambs averag ing HI isHtnds sold for $15.70 a hun dred pounds on the South Omaha mar ket the other day. topping all pre i rious records. A coroner's Jury at Kearney has held blameless the engineer who drove the train that killed five persons when the train hit an automobile near Gib bon. Nebraska is the only state that fias not produced a single favorable reply for universal military training in a canvass by the National Security league of New York City. Mayors of cities of more than 5.000 in every slate were ask.sl to sum up the situa- J lion in their community. Of 37'' answers 200 favored a universal train ing law by congress. Thirty-foui mayors said their citizens were op posed to such action. Mayor William Madgett. Hastings, and former candi date for governor of Nebraska, wrote that lie was personally in favor of uni versal training, but said Hastings seemed to want peace at any price. Five thousand Nebraska boys and girls are expected to take part in home-school gardens in forty-five towns in the state which have taken up the work, under the direction of the agricultural extension service of the State university. Last year. 2,222 boys and girls In twenty-five towns and cities took part in the project. As a result of their work, 1.239 back yards and 345 vacant lots grew gar dens. The total receipts from these gardens was nearly SI2.000 in addi tion to nearly $2,000 worth of canned products. Directors of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange passed a resolution urging all stockmen and farmers in this trade territory to discontinue marketing young cattle, hogs and sheep and further urged that they put to the fullest use all rough pasture and grain in feeding, raising and fat tening eattle. This action was taken in co-operation with a nationwide campaign now being carried on by the National Live Stock exchange in the conservation of meat and food sun Tees. Following the plea rtT President Wil son that the people of this nation bend every effort toward conserving its productiveness nn«l resources "f all kimls in this time of war, the Union Pacific issued eireulars to 15, thmt of its employes between Omaha and Ogden, and on the branches, urg ing the men immediately to plant gar dens. as large ns they can secure and handle. Blanche Trader, 2-year-old daughter of William Trader, a farmer living near Ashland, was killed by being drawn into a corn sheller driven by steam power. Her little body was literally crushed and chopped into shreds. The little girl was playing a hoc the sheller tint! was drawn into tile machine before she was seen H<* fore the power could he shut off she laid been pounded into its jaws. A rancher in Holt county has a Shetland pony that is very much hu man. The animal eats peanuts and candy and chews gum like any ordi nary person. Its owner offered the horse a chew of tobacco tho other day and to ins astonishment it took a good sized chew of the weed. Officers of the I ►cutsohe Kricger bund l.itndwehr Verein of Beatrice gave to the postmaster a Herman llag belonging to their order and reouest ed that it he forwarded to President Wilson "as proof of the loyally of Bermans veterans." The Iiorsey much in I><«ige county, formerly owned by Congressman G. W. K. Horsey, was sold at referee's sale for $85 tin to re. The ranch com prises yoo-acres. John 1-ingo of Ks sex. In., bought it. paying $7t5,5u>. Karm**rs in the vicinity of Mason City have expressed the opinion win ter wheat is not as badly hurt as previous estimates indicated. With warm rains the wheat is coming out nicely. A movement is on foot at Hastings to erect tin auditorium in the city tint! will cost in tile neighborhood of $60,000. Gage county farmers are contemplat ing planting more corn this year than ever before. James Peters, an old army man. is 'organizing a company of rookies at Harrison. One Nebraskan was Indicted on a charge of threatening the president of the United States by the federal grand jury at Omaha. He is Henry Yun Tighre. Clearwater. He was placed under a bond of $8,000. Pen alty for the offense is $1,000 fine or five years in prison, or both. Seven hundred telegraph poles were blown flown and several hundred miles of telegraph line put out of com ! mission on the Burlington west of ! McCook by the sleet and snowstorm I that swept over that section of the i state just recently. Sixty city lots that ordinarily grow to weeds have been leased by the Fremont Community Garden club, plowed and harrowed and will he as signed to members of the club for gardening. rental of ?2..'>o n lot will he charged and assistance in a financial way will he given those who are unable to pay for seed at the time of planting. Interest In the move ment is growing. The revival meeting 'held in the Methodist church at Cedar Rapids re sulted in sixtv-flve conversions and many reconsecrations. The New Friends’ church at Spring hank. Dixon county, was dedicated re cently. The new church cost about $T,,r>00. Springhank is the oldest re ligious organization in northeastern Nebraska. The farmers in the vicinity of Knitting turned out en masse the other day and hauled gravel onto the streets of the town and in apprecia tion of the work the Rruning com munity club gave them a banquet. There is an unusual scarcity of hay in Gage county and it is hard to buy at any price. Yutan has installed an electric lighting system with (tower furnished by the Platte Valley Power company. Several towns along the Platte are on the same circuit. Yutan being the lat est addition. Several barns, windmills and other outbuildings were swept away and a number of houses were unroofed at Tatnora when a tornado, accompanied by a heavy rain’and hail, swept over the town. Work on the new Dodge county court house at Fremont, to he erected at a cost of $150,000, has begun. NEW-STATE HOME - FOi) DEPENDENTS Nearly 100 are now ready j for adoption I BOARD LEASES MORE GROUND Items of General Interest Gathered from Reliable Sources Around the State House Western Newspaper Union News Service With the completion of the new , home for dependent children in Lin coln, and the return to this institu tion of fifteen babies which have been boarded out, the state board of control announces that it has be tween ninety and 100 babies which may be adopted into good homes. The plan of boarding babies out will be abandoned. Chairman .Mayfield of the board of control says that among the babies ready for adoption are many kiddies that are really beautiful, and that all of them are healthy and well behaved. Mr. Mayfield is paying per sonal attention to the home for de pendent children, and asks all wish ing a boy or girl, of any age from a few months up to 14 years, to come to Lim oln. visit the home and make their selections. Norfe but healthy children are sent out, he says, and a complete record of each is supplied. State Board Rents Mere Ground To feed and maintain the 5.000 in mates of the fifteen state institutions of Nebraska, with 800 officers and attendants, is going to require the mobilization of the best resources of the state board of control, in the face of the present high prices des tined to go higher with the war with Germany on. The board has already sent out or ders to institution superintendents to use every effort to cut down ex penses, dispense with luxuries, utilize every available foot of ground for garden truck and crops and retrench generally in all lines of expenditures. The big question now with the board is to get each institution to raise as much produce as possible on its own institutional grounds. To this end the board has rented 100 more acres of ground at the state penitentiary in addition to the 295 acres of its own. A hundred acres of wheat, killed the past win ter, will be put into corn, so that the corn acreage there this fall will be 200 acres. Will Help Conservation of Resources Chairman E O. Mayfield of the state board of control says tl at the board appreciates Governor Neville’s expressed wish that every citizen make a special effort to husband re sources and increase wherever nossible the products from field and garden. On its part, the state board of con trol will see to it that every avail able acre of land is planted and care fully looked after, with the end in view that expenses at the various institutions may contribute as much as possible to the expense of their operation. Wherever there is land attached to one of the institutions, no matter how small the amount, gardens will be planted more ex tensively than in the past, if pos sible. The Revised Compensation Law The committee of the whole, with Spirk in the chair, has finished con sideration of the employers’ liability and workmen's compensation law. It was a substitute bill offered by the senate committee oi labor. After it had been amended somewhat by Moriarty of Douglas it was ordered engrossed for a third reading. Moriarty's amendment to provide that in case an injury should take place as a result of the violation of a safety law- by the employer the employe could elect to take under the compensation law or sue in court for damages under the old law. This was opposed by friends of the bill as destroying the very spirit of the compensation law and would result in ambulance chasing lawyers getting enploves to sue under the old com mon law and in many such cases the employe would lose his wages and get nothing and perhaps be per manently injured. For Council of Defense Without a protesting vote the house adopted the conference commit tee report on IT. R. 423. the bill placing the Nebraska national guard under the provisions of the national defense act and raising the salaries of members of the adjutant gen eral's staff. The measure had been amended to conform with Governor Neville’s request for a state council of defense. This council will consist of eleven members, earh member to draw $5 a day during actual service. Charge District Judges. Governor Neville signed the judicial reapportionment bill giving one addi tional district judge to the Fourth and Tenth districts and shifting several small counties in northwest Nebraska. Simultaneously with-this announce ment the governor stated that he had appointed W. M. Morning, of Lincoln, ns Lancaster county's fourth judge. Mr. Morning was a presidential elector at the November election. He has practiced law here many years. The board of managers of the Nebraska state board of agruculture has adopted resolutions urging the farmers of Nebraska to participate in the war by doing their utmost in supporting the soldier in the field and the family at home. Upon the farmers rest the final responsibility of winning the war, says the board. It asks farmers to increase the acre age of crops, to experiment with no untried crops and to sow oats and plant corn and sorghum where win ter wheat is killed. Where oats and barley are proved and reliable crops they should be planted. GOES TO THE GOVERNOR Senate Adopts Conference Report on Prohibition Bill The senate, adopted the confer ence report on the prohibition bill by a vote of. 30 to 3. Wednesday morn ing. jtter an hour of harmony talks by the so-called drys and others. The bill as amended by the senate and the join* conference committees is now ready for the governor’s signa ture. The session was marked by a verba! review of the fight for the senate amendments, with admissions from the “drys" that the bill as it passed the house was unworkable. The “drys” also took occasion, on the challenge of Moriarty of Douglas, to pay a tribute to Robertson, of Holt, who fought for the amendments in the fr.ce of scorn and jeers from a part of the press and from fanatics in every corner of the state, who denounced his action. “The drys" were frank to admit his good faith. The prohibition bill will be signed by the governor, it is expected, and w-ill become effective May 1. April 27 and 28 Clean-Up Days Governor Neville has named April 27 and 2S as clean-up days in Ne braska, and Fire Commissioner Rid gell appends bis proclamation to a bulletin suggesting methods for ob serving this day by cleaning up waste and rubbish that increases fire hazard. Tue $2,000,000 fire loss in Ne braska annually could be materially reduced, said Commissioner Ridgell, by co-operation of civil, business and social organizations to take steps to prevent the accumulation of hazard ous waste. The governor's proclama tion reads: “Every nrecaution should be taken to provide against the destruction of life and property by fire. The rec ord of past years show that- much of the waste caused by fire comes from carelessness on the part of those who allow the accumulation of waste and inflammable material. “The state deputy fire commis sioner has issued his annual state ment calling attention to the neces sity of the exercise of care on the part of all. in order that loss by fire may be reduced to the minimum. “I am in hearty sympathy with all he says on the subject and request the people to observe the warnings given. I reccommend that the teach ers of our public schools call atten tion to the day by extra fire drills or other exercises that will tend to promote a conviction in the minds of the young of the necessity of care on their part in handling matches, explosives or other inflammable sub stance that, at times, produce con flagration and bring ruin to homes and sometimes whole communities. “I, therefore, name and set aside April 27 and 2S. 1917, as clean-up days and urge a general observance of the same. "KEITH NEVILLE. Governor.” Full Credit for Enlisted Students The state university senate has decided that all seniors who enlist for service for the government will ge granted full credit and awarded their diplomas in absentia without fees. All other students who enlist will be given full credit for their work this semester. Chancellor Avery, in an address to the faculty, urged that all past bitterness be cause of statements made by different professors should be forgotten, and that the faculty should stand united behind the government during the war. He called to the attention of the professors the fact that they have had absolute freedom of speech and have ranged themselves as either pro-ally or pro-German. Now- their duty is to forget these things and support the president in every way possible, he asserted. Senior university students who en list for service in the war will be given full credit during obsence and awarded their diplomas without fee. Flag Display on School Buildings Lieutenant Governor Howard pre sented a petition addressed to the senate asking for the passage of H. R. 739, a bill requiring the display of the flag on school buildings and state educational institutions on na tional holidays and special school occasions. The attention of the sen ate was called to the bill and as a result the bill was resurrected from the general file, where it died some time ago by a motion killing all bills not on the sifting file. Will Have to Use Old Statutes No new statutes will be printed this year by the state and up-to-date statutes of Nebraska said to be con templated by a Denver house foi preparation after the present legis lature has adjourned are not ap proved by the state. This news was given out by Secretary of State Poo! to quiet hundreds of rumors circu lated over the state in response to users of statutes, v ho will thus have to resort to their 1913 statutes and supplementally to the session laws of 1915 and 1917. Shipped 2.000.000 Bushels of Grain Nebraska producers shipped 2,000, 000 bushels of grain during the month of March, a large part of which was wheat, according to figures in the hands of the Nebraska railway commission. This does not include re-consignments. With April and the war with Germany coming on. the shipments fell to almost no grain movement, due, it is said to a shortage of the wheat supply and the holdings of it for higher prices in the face of the present crisis. Capital National Bank Again. Five of the six members A the joint senate and house committee appointed to investigate the possibilities of col lecting $194,502.02, the sum the state lost in the failure of the Capital Na , tional bank in Lincoln in 1893, are in favor of pressing the matter further with the view of collecting the loss ; from the directors of the bank. These five are asking the legislature to ap propriate $5,000, of which $1,000 they ask to be set aside for further investi I gation of the possibilities of making | the collection. CHARGED BY MOOSE Colonel Roosevelt Relates Excit ing Episode of Hunting Trip. Foiled in Self-Defense to Kill Animal Which Trailed and Attacked Party in Woods. In “A Book-Lover's Holiday iu the Open," Col. Theodore Roosevelt takes his readers into the less familiar cor ners of both North and South Amer ica. Many of his experiences were ex citing, but perhaps the most thrilling was his encounter with a bull moose when on a rtc.nt hunting trip in Quebec. “When we we*e half a tnile from the landing,” he say-, “we saw a big bull moose on the edge of the shore ahead of us. He looked bigger than the one I had shot that morning, and his ant lers were rather more palmated. We paddled up to within a hundred yards of him. laughing and talking, and re marking how eager we should have been if we had not already got our moose. "At first lie did nut seem to notice us. Thee lie lookeu si us, but paid no fur ther heed. We were surprised, but paddled ou pa.1; him; we supposed that he did not realize what we were. But another hundred yards put us to wind ward. Instead of turning into the for est when he got our wind, the moose merely bristled up the hair ou his withers, shook his head and walked along the shore after us. Plainly he meant mischief. So we turned the canoe round and paddled on our back truck. But the moose promptly turned and followed us along the shore- We yelled at him, and Odilon struck the canoe with his paddle, but with no ef fect. “For more than aa hour he thus kept us from the shore, running to meet us wherever we tried to go. The after noon was waning, and a cold wind be gan to blow. He was not a pleasunt lookiug beast to meet in the woods In the dusk. We were at our wits’ ends to know what to do. At last he turned, shook his head and, with a flourish of his heels, galloped—not trotted—for 60 yards up along the little river that paralleled the portage trail. I called Arthur's attention to that, us he had been telling me that a big bull never galloped. Then the moose disappeared at a trot around the bend. We waited a few minutes, cautiously landed and started along the trail, watching to see if the bull were lying in wait for us. Arthur told me that if he now at tacked us I must shoot him at once or lie would kill someone. "A couple of hundred yards ou, the trail led within a few yards of the lit tle river. As we reached that point a . smashing in the brush beyond the op ; jHisite bank caused us to wheel; f.nd the great bull came headlong for us. ; Arthur called to me to shoot. With a ; last hope of frightening him I fired over his head, without the slightest I effect. At a slashing trot he crossed the river, shaking his head, with his ears laid back and the hair ou nis withers bristling. "’Tirez. m’sieu. tirez; vite, vite!’ called Arthur, and when the bull was not 30 feet away I put a bullet into his chest, in the sticking point. It was a mortal wound, and stopped him short. “I was sorry to have to kill him, but there was no alternative. As it was, I only stopped him in the nick of time, and had I not shot straight at least one of us would have paid forfeit with his life. Even in Africa I have never known anything except a rogue elephant or buffalo, or an occasional rhinoceros, to attack so viciously or with such premeditation when he was neither wounded nor threatened.’’— Yomh's Companion. Privileges of Consuls. Consuls do not occupy the same fa vored position as diplomatic agents in the eyes of international law. Their business is not with affairs between state and state, but with protecting the interests of individuals in a for eign country.’ Thus, though they en joy several of the immunities of a pub j 11c minister, they do so as a courtesy, not as a right. All civilized custom, however, se cures them a safe-conduct, and their papers and in many cases the consular buildings are held inviolable. In prac tice, though not by law, consuls them selves are not subject to arrest, save for serious crime, and this exception holds good also in the case of diplo mats. though these would probably only be detained until taken into their own country's custodv. i Why She Sent a Substitute. The loan department of the welfare hoard and the woman outside the rail had agreed on the amount of the loan she wished ou the diamond ring, says the Kansas City Star. “Tour name?” the loan clerk asked. “It Isn’t my ring,” she replied. “It belongs to a friend.” She named the owner. “Couldn't she come herself for the loan?” “No, not very well,” she answered. “You see, her home was robbed last night and all her clothes stolen. She must borrow money on the ring to buy new ones.
