Fully 50,000 people viewed tho core- monlcB, and saw tho big veasol slip Into tho water. Sho created a voiy email -wave as she look her mn'dcti plunge, and floated out gontly nnd aracofully. Natal men who viewed tho launching stated that It was tho moat successful thoy over saw. Tho Nobraska weighs more than any vcascl ever bofore launched In the United State navy. Immediately after the launching tho big Alaska liners that hovered about her with decks black with excursionists, looked ' diminutive beside her. Miss Mary Naln Mlckojr, daughter of Governor Mickey of Nebraska, christened tho vossel. The Nebraska Is tho first battlo ilhlp constructed on the Pacific coast north of San Francisco and ah tho leading nrmy and state officials In the forts west took part In tho program. Tho Nebraska party comprised t..o following: Governor J. II. Mlckoy and daughter, Miss Mary Naln Mickey; Socrotary of State George W. Marsh and Mrs. Marsh, Stato Auditor Charles Weston and Mrs. Weston, Stato Treas urer Poter Mortcnsun, Stato Superin tendent W. K. Fowler, Attorney Gen eral F. N. Pl-out and daughter. Miss Vera J.

That tho baptismal ceremony was miccess without hitch or qualifica tion was duo to Miss Mickey herself, although everything passible had been done by tho builders of tho warship to make easy tho office of Bponsor, Miss Mickey took no chances. Tho bottle hung from tho ship's prow by a llttlo cord that reached to the stand built high above the platform of tho launching shed as the pulpit Is raised over Its surroundings In tho churches of tho early days. It wa3 oxpocted that aa the warship begun to movo If MIba Mickey would draw bncn. tho bottlo and then, releasing It, permit the glass to shiver upon Impact with tho sides. At the crucial moment, re Kardlesa of tho danger of cuts from flying glass, Miss Mickey seized tho bottlo by tho neck with both hands, topped quickly to the stdo of the huge bulk now gathering headway and amaihed tho fateful bottle, tho jaggod neck rcmninlng In her hands, but with 'out resulting Injury. Though othor battleships havo been christened, sometimes by tho daugh ters of governors nnd sometimes by workmen who happened to be avail able In tho omcrgeney, there Is no doubt of tho legitimate source front which tho Nebraska derives her name. At a reception given by tho Seattlo chambor of commerce to tho oillcial party from Nebraska, Miss Mickey has shared with hor distinguished father tho felicitations of the people of Seat tle. Directly after the launching cere mony tho governor'n party was taken to tho offices of Morau Ilros., whore, on behalf of tho firm, a gold watch, suitably Inscribed, was nrrRnnt,ii in Miss Mickey In commemoration of the eventful day.

STATE OF KANSAS Kansas Day at St. Louis Was a Great Affair DAVID OVERMEYER SPEAKS tie 1'ays TrUiatn to .Inlin .1, Ingalli nnd Thuinai Jefferson Othor Iniunr- tnut News Notes One of the mo3t eloquent addresses delivered at the Kansas exercises at the St, Louis Exposition grounds was that of David Ovcrmyer. Ills subject wbb "Tho Spirit of Kansas." Tho fol lowing synopsis Is given: Who Bhnll truly tell tho story of Kansas? Four hundred miles long, 200 mllos wide; lying between tho thlrty sovonth nnd fortieth parallels of north latitude, In tho climate of the primi tive Aryan raco; extending from the wostcrn border of Missouri to tho foot hills of tho Rocky Mountains; rising from 900 feet on the east to 4,000 feet on tho west above tho level of tho sea; drained by great rivers; fertile sunlit, salubrious, teeming with every prod uct of the temperate zone; rich in coal and stono and other minerals, natural gas and oil; her green and purple plains, her smiling valleys, her "walls of corn," her endless wheat fields, her countless herds and happy homes, pre sent a picture of abundance, exhubcr anco and exultation. All KanBans, llko "All Gaul." Is di vided Into three parts; not designated llko Caesar's conquered provinces, by tho tribal names of their Inhabitants, but by altitude, atmosphere, soil and production. Tho eastern third may be called the corn Lett, and produces in great abundanco substantially all the products known to this country. The central third, gradually rising higher and higher, embraces porhaps, the greatest wheat region of the North American continent. Wbllo tho west ern third, towering aloft Into tho mountain atmosphere, arid, rugged, allcnt and sublimo, Is covered with short, greenish grey grass, exceedingly highland heath grass sustains count less cattle, sheep and horses, and many of tho inhabitants of tho "short grass country" are among tho wealth iest of the stato. So much for physical Kansas, hor .-.. ,, a IIMIVMV VUIO length, her breadth, her harvests, her frulta, hor vlneSp her flcd hcr 8Ub Blanco and her material might; but what of her spirit? I ask again, who eball tell bor story? What pen can fitly, truly write her history? What tonguo can toll of her tribulation? What ilmncr can portray tho marvelous lights and shadows cast upon tho can vas of tlmo by this young common wealth? Tho one Master, whoso strong, deft hand, could wield tho brush, and touch the profound chorda. Bleeps his last deep sleep In her friendly soil. Ingalls! Tho incomparable Ingalls! His Intellectual strength and integ rity forbade deception. He dared to apeak tho truth as ho caw It, respect ing overythlng and everybody; to tear the mask from the face of history, an cient or modern, and expose falsehood, superstition and Imposture wherever found.

LAND OF MILK AND HONEY Keiiilnctoa I IlavlaR a Great noon In Hulldins; The big crops In northwestern Kan sas this year have given tha country such a growth In all lined of business as never was known before. New ad ditions are being added to towns and it is impossible to find oorpenters, bricklayers and plasterers enough to do the building that has been planned, Kensington, for example, has two new lumber yards that havo been started In the last sixty days and lumber can not be shipped In fast enough to sup ply the demand. A new addition has been added to tho incorporate limits of tho city of Konsington to supply the demand for building lots. No less active are tho farmers who are build ing largo barns and elegant farm housea. Land has doubled in value In tho last five years and Is steadily in creasing and many farmers will not put a prlco on their farms. Corn will yield as high as sixty bushels per aero nnd will make the highest average ever known In Smith county and this county is noted as a corn county. Al falfa, corn and wheat are oxtenslvely raised and are great money-makers for tho farmers. Thero are large numbers of hogs and cattle In tho country which will yield a profit to the farmer be cause of tho abundance of alfalfa and corn.

To water this area 59,243 mllos of main canala nnd ditches havo been constructed, while the laterals leading from those canals to the fields repre sent an aggregnto length many times tins distance. Mr. Mead stated that it Is a conservative estimate to say that $200,000,000 has been expended In Ir rigation development in tho United States. Tho minors of district No. 14 at Pittsburg, Kan,, havo shown by their votes that they aro In favor of estab lishing co-oporatlvo stores in the dis trict.

The cause assigned Is that this oil Is Inferior In quality. Pro ducers of Chanute havo boon urgiug tho Standard to lncreaso the prlco of their oil with this result. Producers nrn loth to believe the order. It mean3 a big suspension of work. NEMAHA M (ASE Church Howe and Friends Must Pay Increased Tax THE LAW STANDS THE TEST Nemnhn IlMtrlct Judge Ileveniort and Aetlou IllKiiilnird, Immediate Maudate to suae The state board of equalization has tho authority to Increase or decrease tho assessed valuation of counties In equalizing tho assessment. Tho su premo court has bo docldcd In an opinion handed down reversing Judge Kclltgar of tho Nemaha county district court In tho action Instituted by Church Howo and othor taxpayers of Nomaha county to restrain the county clerk from extending an increase of G per cont mado by the board. At tho adjournment of oourt the judges announced that tho doclslon f Judge Kelllgar had been reversed, th. tate board upheld and that the opin ion, which Is being written by Chief Justice Holcomb would bo filed with the clerk of the court later. Tho court waa unanimous In Its decision. The controversy over tho assessment first began when the state board was la session as a board of equalization. Other counties adjoining Nemaha were ywflndtodul ChurGOtherehrdlumfwytjil assessed on higher valuations than Nemaha and the board notified the taxpayers to appear and show cause why their assessment should not be In creased to conform with the others. A delegation headed by Thomas J. Majors and Church Howe appeared bo fore the board and objected to a ralso In the assessed valuation, but notwith standing It was increased 6 per cent. Tho taxpayers then sought by injunc tion in the district court to prevent tho extension of the raise, contending that the board was not vested with power to Increase or decrease assessed valuations in a manner to effect the grand assessment roll of tho state and that v.'hero an Increase was made on ono county another must be decreased a like amount to not disturb tbe grand assessment. Tho lower court sustained all of the contentions of tho taxpayers and tho case was appealed by the connty clerk and tho attorney general. In passing upon the matter tho su preme court holds that tho power of equalization must lay somewhere and that Its vestment In tho state board of equalization Is constitutional, also that the board has the power to raise or lowor assessed valuations without regard to the grand assessment roll of the state. In passing upon too ooso the oourt says: "The court is unanlmenoly of tho opinion that tho judgment of tho trial court is erroneous and should ke re versed, which is accordingly done. An opinion will be hereafter fled. Judg ment reversed and action dismissed. Mandldate to Issuo forthwith. Roversed and dismissed." A FARMER BUNCOED Pake Doctor Neatly Works draft on a Gng-e County farmer It wa3 the same old story. , Man with more money than discretion. Wilke Jurgens, a German farmer who resides In Hanover township, near Beatrice, was relieved of $50 by a traveler who represented himself to bo ono of those cure-all medicine men. Ho gave his name as Dr. Busch, and said ho camo from Omaha. Jurgons has a lame boy, ono who has been a, crlpplo for years. Tho stranger told him that he could euro hlra, and would do so for $150. He drew $50 on tho contract, and mixed some dope, which be left with Instruc tions as to how to take It. SInco his departure, the farmer has begun to feel that he has been victimized, and as tho stato secretary of tho medical board says that thoro Is no such person licensed to practlco In this state, the follow Is In all probablHty a fraud. He stopped at tho Beatrlco Hotel before visiting the Jurgens place, and reg istered from Denver. Ho Is a man about forty years of age, weight about 160 pounds, sandy complexion, and a fellow very familiar with his Job.

JUDGE WILL NOT SPEAK The Democratic Nominee for rrolUimt Not to Cnmpiilcn j. -l ., Chairman Taggart at natlona'omo. crntlc headquarters has r'ven out tho following statement: "Shortly after his nomination Judge Parker set about the consideration of his courso of action toward tho conduct of tho campaign. Ho consulted many men of large experience In such mat ters and made an examination of tho course of every successful candidate. That done, he decided, as It was neces 8ary for him to do, what his courso should bo, nnd ho caused that decision to bo mado generally known. It waa to tho effect that he would not go upon the stump; that such speeches aa he should deem desirable to make could bo made at Rosomount, following In that respect tho McKlnley precedent of 1896. "That decision made and announced, ho proceeded to work along the lines he had marked out for hlmsolf. He bo lloved then, as bo believes now, that he decided rightly and no amount of entreating would budge. His record during all his life proves that clamor will not move him ono Iota. Tho inci dent is closed and those In charge of tho cam pal gi fully npprovo of tho de termination of Judge Parker." Judge Parker has been Importuned to speak In various states and tho announcement is designed to prevent further similar requests. INTERESTS OLD SOLDIERS Circular Issued for Their tlenefit hy ttie Ueneral Lund Offlce Tho commissioner of tho general land office has Issued the following statement Intended for tho protection of old soldiers contemplating settling on public lands: "Information has been received at the genernl land offico that design ing persons were circulating reports through Indiana and elsewhere to tho effect that old soldiers were entitled to enter public lands, particularly In western Nebraska, and receive patent therefor without residing or cultivat ing the lands, as other persons nro re quired to do. TJhla report Is false. "Tho only favor given to old soldiers by tho homestead laws which Is not granted to other persons, Is that of be ing pormltted to make his first filing through an agent and to have tho tlmo of his service deducted from the flvo years which homestead entrymen aro required to resldo upon tho land."
