As to Pension MoneyT
The rule Requiring members of sol
diers' horiies In Nebraska to pay n
percentage of pension money to the
cnsh funds of the homes , n rule that
was bitterly contested In the courts ,
has been suspended by order of the
board of public lands nnd buildings
pending further orders of that boaid.
The supreme court held that such a
rule was legal. Land Commissioner
Knton , chairman of the board , , sent
notice to coirmandnnts of state homos
under date of Juno 27 not to take nny
part of pension money until further
orders from the board ,
The board met and discussed the
making of some now regulations , but
no agreement was arrived nt. Ono
member suggested a rule that all
Inmates of the homes who are able
to earn a livelihood or who have
means of support be discharged from
the home , at the discretion of the
board , and that this rule also apply
to the admission of soldiers , the In
tent of the suggested-rule being that

Large Block of Bonds.
State Treasurer Brian has $500,000 ,
according to his monthly report , avail
able for Investments In securities , nnd
with two prospective deals on , ho
hopes to have the sum Invested with

soldiers who are able to work or who
have large pensions or other means
of support be not ndirltted , and these
of this character be discharged when
ever the board finds It necessary to
make room for purely Indigent veter
ans. The suggestion was not accept
ed by the board.
In the discussion It was stated that
the former commandant , Mr. Ask-
with , of the Grand Island soldiers'
home , had never enforced the old rule
regarding the payment of all pension
money over $12 a month to the sup
port of the home. It was enforced at
the Mllford homo. Commandant Pros-
son said when he went into office the
pensioners there voluntarily came to
him and paid over all In excess of $12
a month. An Investigation oi ! the ac
counts of the Grand Island home
showed that little pension money had
over been collected there. The pres
ent board supposed the rule had been
enforced. In his letter to command
ants Commissioner Eaton explained
that the board believed the old rule
had been enforced and the board
thought Its new rule would bo satis
factory to all concerned because it
was more liberal than the old rule.
He said the board desired to treat
the veterans with fairness and had
modified the rule. The court had up
held the legality of the contention
that the board has contiol of the
homes and can make any reasonable
rule It sees fit , but that for the pres
ent the pension rule will be sus
pended.
Vacancies for Young Men.
Senator Burkett received word from
Major J. F. Elliott at Washington

explained , must bo educated and com

The Jenkins mill at Steele City was
compelled to shut down on account of
high water. The shutting down of
this mill closes one of the historical
business enterprises of that section oC
Nebraska , which has been identified
with the growth of the country from a
time dating back to the advent of civ
ilisation into Nebraska. Jenkins' mill
was one of the supply stations on the
old overland trail , and all the early
pioneers who traveled that route In
the search of now homes and for
tunes secured their supplies for the
continuance of the trip tit that place.
The mill has been , In constant opera
tion from that time until it was closed
down after the recent flood.
