the auditor showing the amounts due tho several counties that are entitled to share in the appropriation of S50000 under the act providing state aid for achool dis tricts whose funds are not sufficient to mainioin school for at least seven months The law provides that no state aid shall be yiven any public school district unless it has voted the maximum tax levy authorized by sec tion 5437 chapter 79 compiled statutes of Nebraska for 1905 and until the accounts of such districts have been audited and aproved by the county superintendent of the proper county No district shall receive in any one year any state aid under thn provis ious of this act in excess of one hun dred and twenty dollars which amount shall be applied exclusively to the payment of teachers wages From the tabulated statement on file in the of fice of the state superintendent it is shown that the need of an appropri ation to assist weak districts of the state is far greater than even the most enthusiastic supporters of the law thought possible Seven hundred and eight districts in forty five coun ties have qualified under the law for state aid and the total amount asked for exceeds 90000 The amounts due each county will be made in two pay ments the first in January and the second payment on or before the laet Monday in June The following coun ties are entitled to share in this ap propriation to the amount set oppo site their names Red Willow S1854 Chase County 2859 Dundy County 1745 Frontier County 1593 Furnas County 630 Hayes County 2303 Hitchcock 2569 Gosper County 25 DANGER

with the certain and safe remedy Doans Kidney Pills which has cured people right here in McCook Mrs A G Rider living in the east ern part of McCook Neb says I have suffered for a number of years from kid ney trouble My back was very lame and sore and there was a dull throbb ing sensation directly over the left kidney I was unable to lie on my left sidewithout experiencing sharp twinges through this region Shortly after I noticed the first symptom of kidney trouble the kidney secretions became irregulartoo frequent in action causing me to rise many times during the night and contained a sediment As a result of not sleeping well I became weak and run down had little ambition and my household duties became a dread I was advised to give Doans -Kidney Pills a trial by a person who had

Navy HER MOST FAMOUS VICTORY It Was Over tho Crew of the Iron Duko a British Man-of-war and Was De cisive Why the American Banc Played the British National Air The fastest racing boat that evei brought shekels and glory to the Amer ican navy or to any other for that matter was the cutter Daring When she went down with the Van dalia in the great storm which sank almost every vessel in the harbor of Samoa she left behind her an unbroken record of victories None of these wns more sensational than the one she easily plucked from a crew of the Iron Duke when the Daring was attached to the Wisconsin then on the Asiatic station Appropri ately enough the crushing defeat was administered in centennial year 1S70 and it was the more signilicant because the English boat had given tho chal lenge and had fairly rushed upon Its fate When a bluejacket u race he goes about it in his own peculiar fash ion lie doesnt write out a challenge and send it with due formalities He does not appoint a committee to extend it lie docs not post notice in a con 1 spicuous place j He simply lowers his boat climbs I into it to the number of twelve or four 1 teen pulls toward the ship whose f kcrew he wants to race tosses his oars as he comes under her bow and there you are The challenge has been giv en in the sight of the whole harbor This sort of invitation doesnt mean that the other crew is to hustle into its boat for a race richt then and there liminary work yet to be done much of it being of a strictly financial na ture Thousands of dollars change hands over these races The officers them selves are generally ready to back the honor of their own ship with substan tial proof of their loyalty As for the average sailor man he digs up every cent he can rake and scrape As a winner of these shekels the Daring as before mentioned is of blessed memory except to her rivals Of these latter none was more confi dent than the Iron Duke crew The Wisconsin was already at anchor when the British vessel came into the har bor one fine day her advent being greeted with the usual attention every newcomer commands She hadnt been in very long before she lowered a boat The men on the Wisconsin idly watched They con tinued to observe but without much concern as the British cutter was pulled toward the Wisconsin heading across her bows Then the unexpected happened To the surprise and intense delight of the Americans up went the British oars and a little thrill of excitement swept the widening ripplis around the harbor A challenge had been given A race was to come And it was a race that meant a whole lot more taan a mere contest between two crewfr It involved a con tested principle of boat building The British believed in a substan tial seaworthy solid craft The Amer icans mane tneir cutters ngnter anu more graceful contending at the same time that the fine lines which made their boats beautiful did not make them the less seaworthy The day for tbp race was set a course of three and a half miles desig nated and the wagers piled up on both sides But when the day came there was a high wind making the going so rough that the Americans thinking that it wouldnt be a pretty race pro posed putting it off Not much The British thought they saw through the proposal They imag ined the Americans were afraid and they saw a glorious opportunity to prove their wisdom in sacrificing beau ty to seaworthiness They were as firm as nobody but sn Englishman can be Tlie race must ko on And it did You bet it did And the Dnrinjj came skimming in a whole half mile ahead a half mile if you please While the Iron Dukes crew were plugging through tin waves by main force the Daring cut across them and over them like the thing of delight she was And while she was as dry as a parlor car the Iron Dukers were bail ing to keep themselves afloat Well you can imagine whether there was joy aboard the Wisconsin But the officers could afford to be generous In victory so the band was ordered to play God Save the Queen A British naval oflicer was standing with an American officer on shore watching the finish and when the band struck up he turned to the Amer ican in bewilderment Thats funny he said Your boat comes in ahead and yet theyre play ing God Save the Queen I dont un derstand Well said the American if God wont save the queen now she might as well give up Nothing earthly can The Daring was built at New York about 1S71 and was so far superior to the boats she competed with that an other cutter was constructed on very much the same lines but with what were thought to be some improve ments She was called the Magic and next to the Daring she was the best racing boat in the navy But up to the time of her loss the older boat was un beaten even by her newer rival Washington Po3t 4 MARRIAGE IN TIBET Courting and Wedding Etiquette In tho Forbidden Land Ilenry Savage Lnndors in A ac count of The Forbidden Laud we rend that among the Shokus when a young couple consider marriage advis able the young man dressed In his best clothes proceeds to the house of his Intended carrying wine grilled grain dried fruit sugar candy and other sweetmeats If the bridegroom is thought a suit able match the parents of the girl re ceive the young man with due consid eration and partake heartily of the food and drink proffered by him The marriage is there and then ar ranged the bridegroom further dis bursing to the father a sum of not less than 53 rupees and not more than 100 This is supposed to be the monoy equivalent to the sum spent by the relatives of the girl in bringing her up The marriage ceremony then fol lows and this is simplicity itself A cake called delang is baked of which the friends of the two families partake If either the bridegroom or the bride refuses to eat a share of the cake the marriage is broken off If they both eat some of the cake and later any discussion arises between them nil those who assisted at the function are called as witnesses that the marriuge took place Often even this primitive ceremony of eating cake is dispensed with and Shoka marriages begin and continue ns happy and faithful unions without any special form of service or rite to solemnize the tie A breach of the seveuth command ment is severely visited not only on the guilty man who is well beaten but on his parents The Shoka men pro ceed en masse to the parental dwell ing and completely denude it of all fur niture stores of grain and merchan dise They confiscate the sheep goats yak and all their valuable saddles and loads and present the whole proceeds On the contrary there Is a lot of pre- j to lue Person who has been wronged by the guilty pair as some sort of rec ompense Frequently the unfortunate and in nocent relatives of the evildoer are bound nnd even beaten to death by the villagers These severe measures are resorted to to maintain a high standard of mo rality and honor and there is little doubt that primitive as these methods may seem the good results obtained more than justify them An institution which the author speaks of as surprising in a primitive people but nevertheless to his way of thinking eminently sensible and ad vantageous is called the liambang a place or club where girls and young men meet at night for the sake of bet ter acquaintance prior to entering into matrimony Each village possesses one or more institutions of this kind and they are patronized by well to do peo ple who recognize the institution as a sound basis on which marriage can be arranged Ranibang houses are either in the village itself or halfway between one village and the next the young women of one village thus entering into am icable relations with the young men of the other and vice versa Uncle Henrys Experience Its all nonsense and a waste of time said Uncle Henry to tell a young man what kind of wife he ought to pick out when he gets ready to mar ry Nine times out of ten he has pick ed her out already and if he hasnt he doesnt need anybodys help What do you know about it he was asked I know something about it by ob servation he answered and a little by experience When I had reached the age of twenty five with a fair in come and good prospects I thought it was time for me to marry I had al most decided to ask a certain Naomi nenthorue but didnt altogether like the family and was in an uncertain frame of mind about her when some of my friends began to take it upon themselves to assist me They told me that Naomi was the very girl for me that I couldnt find a better wife if I were to hunt all over the coun try and so on In short they praised her so highly that I made up my mind Id follow their advice I began pay ing attention to her and in a few weeks I popped the question Well Well said Uncle Henry with some reluctance she said she wouldnt mar ry me if I was the last man on earth Youths Companion Bubblyjocks Probably everybody has heard of the little boy in Scotland who was asked if his life were happy Aye he re plied but doubtfully and added that he was sair hauden doon by yon bub blyjock If this laddie had been the only one so held down the story would not have been so important but it is all the worlds story We should all be good and wildly happy many of us feel that we should be great if it were not that we were so sair hauden doon by a bubblyjock Adam of course named the bubblyjock a turkey Eve knew when she saw it cruising toward her with the fat overbearing gait of a bully and before she heard its absurd voice that it was the bubblyjock and no other Bubblyjocks are not lions They do not kill and devour they tor ment They do not attempt life but the joy of life They cannot prevent our doing as we please but they can gobble at us and threaten us so that we work in defiance and not in joy grimly instead of whistling Like the little boy we eat our oatcake and with a sort of appetite but we keep one eye on the strutting bubblyjock Atlantic SPENT J AST EIGHT V LI T I 7 V FRANKLIN T n l JU L l YEARS IN MISERY Boston Banker Says His Life Has Been Hope less for that Length of Time Carleton H Hutchinson a leading hanker and broker of Boston with offices at 8 Congress Street la that city has recently come out with a very strong statement In the widespread discussion over Coopers new theory and medicines which has spread over the country so rapidly Mr Hutchinson has taken the side of those who say that Coopers theory Is correct and his medicine all that he claims Mr Hutchinsons emphatic state ment Is as follows Anyone afflicted with chronic ill

causes most ill health I have had no faith In anything not prescribed by a phy sician for each particular case after careful diagnosis but after eight years of constant suffering during -which time I spent over 1500 with abso lutely no relief I felt that it would at least do no harm to try tho medicine which I was hearing so much about 1 During these eight years I have been forced to go without solid food for five and six weeks at a time I always had a sour stomach was troubled with formation of gas and led the usual miserable life of the dys peptic I was dull tired nervous and gloomy all the time and was alwaya constipated I have taken Coopers medicine a comparatively short time For tho past month I have not had the slight est sign of stomach trouble I can eat anything with no bad effect whatso ever I have a fine appetite am gain ing flesh very rapidly am cheerful full of energy and my nervousness has disappeared My bowels are In perfect condition for the first time In eight
