The democratic officers-elect nt th( cnpitol commemorated Thanksgivinj with genuine feeling this year. Oni or two of them, more reckless than th others, even went so far ns to buy i ' turkey for their Thanksgiving dinnei nnd had the dealer chnrgc it to theii next yenr's salaries. Work of propping up the eaHt wing of the state house was commenced tht fore part of tho week. Several wagon loads of timbers have been unloaded on the grounds and before the legis' laturc meets next month it is in tended that the work will be complet ed and everything made so safe that the thundering oratory of the most virulent or vituperative typo will not jar even a fly off the walls. The state canvassing board finish ed canvassing tho returns of the late election tho fore part of the week and placed their stamp of approval upon tho certificate. The official canvass shows that President Wilson carried 82 counties in tho state. Secretary of State Pool comes next with 77: State Treasurer Hall with 75; State Auditor Smith, 70; and Attorney General Reed 67. Governor-elect Neville was elect ed by 6,763. Tho returns show that without the Douglas county vote Mr. Neville could have been elected by about 2400 plurality. A. O. Thomas, for state superintendent, wns defeat ed by the smallest plurality of any republican on his ticket. Ho came within 1302 votes of winning out. Stnto Veterinarian J. S. Anderson returned from Wauneta the latter part of the week where he had been for several days investigating a report that the foot and mouth disease was prevalent in that section. J. R. Rob ertson of Chase county shipped a car of cattle to Kansas City some time ago, and when tho cattle arrived it was found that many of them were afflicted with an ailment similar to the foot and mouth disease. A com pliant from Kansas City wns immedi ately dispatched to Dr. Anderson and the shipment isolated. A quarantine was ordered and the state veterinar ian promptly started an investigation. After spending a week in Chase coun ty Dr. Anderson came to tho conclus ion that it was not the so-called foot and mouth disease, but what is known among veterinarians ns "stomatitus," or cankerou sores which form in the mouth and on the tongue. The dis ease is contagious but not necessarily fatal. When the malady is discover ed, the state veterinarian advises im mediate isolation, and treatment of the following solution: One level tea spoonful of permanganate potash to one qunrt of warm water and either swab or syringe out the mouth. Governor-elect Keith Neville came in from North Plntto Thanksgiving morning, visited the State House a few minutes and in the afternoon went to the football game. While here, however,- Mr.,.NevjlIe, caused two ui me iiuiiib Kuur.u ,(,r iii.w up 'ineis voices in additional - Thanksgiving praififti'bjecause (Ofithcj announcement of ,the .reappointment, .prjejs.the present ' Fire Commissioner, wf" ,JS. Ridgell, and the otHer'-was Coir J. U'A Fressop, recording, clerk and .general factotum of the governor's office. Col Pi'essdn is a pioneer and patriarch of the governor's 'department! As a' matter of fact, Col. Prcsson is a ( sort of nedtral, non-sectarian religious ad visor to the ' governor. His friends, and they are legion, point with pride to the fact that no governor has ever gone wrong since the Colonel's incum bency of this important .position. Ono other appointment was announced while Mr. Neville wns here, that of George Koster of Niobrara, for De puty Fish Commissioner, who will take Gust Ruteribeck's place. Mr. Rutenbeck'says he has had the job four,.years and he thinks that is long enough. He believes in passing these plums around occasionally.

As for Bill and Me, Gee!, we want some good, warm' Sweaters and Caps to wear when we go skating on CHRISTMAS DAY Which Do You Prefer? It is important for reasons of health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question: "Do I prefer a pure baking powder like Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking powder made of alum or phosphate, both derived from mineral sources?" The names of the ingredients printed on the label show whether the kind you are now using or any brandy new or oldy that may be offered is a genuine cream of 'tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound. Royal Baking Powder contains no ahim nor phosphate. - ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York Treasurer's Statement 191C. lied Mayor and City Council, City Cloud, Neb: Genlemen: ,.
