It has been suggested that the library
is tho proper repository for historical
data of local interest and that in addi
tion to its other functions it shall be
made the agency for the collection and
classification not only of whatever exists
in written and printed form concerning
the events of the past but that it shall
also become the means by which the as
yet unwritten experiences of the first
settlers may be put into less perishable
form For newspaper clippings scrap
books may be provided documents and
manuscripts may be bound while those
who have not reduced their adventures
to writing may be seen and interviewed
and their stories may so bo preserved and
made available To the generation that
has lived this life as to the generations
that are to succeed the facts that may
thus be gathered will be of vital import
ance and concern
As many of the pioneers are still here
it should bo a matter of no great diffi
culty to secure much that will be of per
manent value and interest Now when
the work may be so easily and so well
accomplished is the time for the under
taking It is desirable to make it as
complete and as comprehensive as possi
ble It need not indeed it should not
be confined to the vicinity of McCook
or Redwillow county but it should em
brace every portion of this western
country southwestern Nebraska north
western Kansas eastern Colorado the
settlement of which was made simul
taneously or successively and under sim
ilar conditions and circumstances
Contributions of every sort to this
cause will be gratefully received and
scrupulously cared for Anyone to whom
suggestions occur is requested to com
municate with tho librarian

Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion

opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the Juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach

Lincoln Letter
Lincoln Neb March 30 1903
Special Correspondence
The now revenue bill has at last passed
both houses and at this writing it seems
certain to receive the governors signa
ture and become a law before tho end of
tho week It is drawn not to take effect
until next year which will give time for
tho officials to became familiar with its
provisions It will in some respects
bring about a revolution in county elec
tions as it provides for a new official in
each county in the person of tho county
assessor who is to work in conjunction
with the county commissioners in the
appointment of deputy assessors and in
iho supervision o f the work The
county assessors will in turn work under
tho supervision of the secretary of the
state board who is expected to keep
in touch with the work in all the
counties
One good effect of the revenue agi
tation is noticed in the reports of the
meetings of precinct assessors now being
held over tho state The usual practice
has been for these officials to meet and
under the old full valuation law agree
to assess property at from one fifth to
one twelfth of its cash value The re
ports this year indicate a general
tendency to an increase in the valuation
of personal property Should there also
be an increase in tho efforts to collect
the new revenue bill will have done a
good work for the state funds before
it really goes into effect as a law
Now that the legislature is about to
adjourn it is not out of place to mention
the general character of the member
ship It is apparent that last year the
people of the state were aroused to the
necessity of electing representatives of
good habits and good character and
who would not trade off their work in
tho session for jobs and other perqui
sites The result is that a better lot of
men never came to the state house
There is no boozing and rowdyism such
as has sometimes marked past sessions
Not one half of the members even smoke
and there is no suspicion of hold ups
or hold up bills The old style lobby
ists with their free whiskey and free
lunch and dance tickets have met with
a cold reception The republican party
has reasons to be proud of the men
it has sent to Lincoln and of the con
scientious work they have performed
The house in a fit of generosity pushed
the appropriation bill through calling
for expenditures amounting to a total of
nearly 8000000 as compared with the
S2800000 appropriated by the last legis
lature A great many members voted
for these large amounts with the full
knowledge that the senate would not
not agree to such lavish expenditures
The upper house and the governor are
now joining together in the pruning
process and it is believed that the bills
will be cut down to reasonable limits
It was expected that the adjournment
would take place at the end of this
week but the unexpected delay of the
revenue bill in the senate and work now
in sight in trimming the appropriation
bills made it impossible to get through
so soon ana the date nxed for next
Tuesday by tho conference committees
is theearhest practical date Interested
lobbyists attempted to force an early
adjournment in order that the prodigal
appropriations and claims be rushed
throught but were easily frustrated
The interesting features this week will
be the appropriation bills the elevator
bill the militia and the normal schools
Of course the liveliest skirmishes will
be made by those who object to the plan
of the senate to cut down the appropri
ations and the interested lobbyists are
expected to work overtime
Tuesday is the date set for adjourn
ment but there is a probability that the
clock will stop and that the session will
go right on until about Thursday noon
