The conference report on the
wool tariff revision bill carrying
a flat duty of 29 per cent on raw
wools and corresponding reduced
rates on wool manufacturers was
adopted Monday by the house
206 to 90 The senate is expect
ed to agree to it today thus put
ting the measure up to the presi
dents expected veto
Twenty nine republican repre
sentatives and one independent r
publican voted for the bill No
democrat voted against it
The house action was officially
reported to the senate immed
iately
When the report was made Re
publican Leader Mann at once
made a point of order that the
report could not be considered be
cause the conferees had exceeded
their authority by fixing -tariff
rates on certain manufactures of
wool higher than the same rates
were made in cither the house or
senate bill
Speaker Clark overruled Mr
Manns point of order that the
conferees had exceeded their
authoritv

paign for the district judgeship

fied lot of political roorbacks in

Curtis Again Selected
The board of public lands and
buildings has again selected the
town of Curtis as the site for
tin proposed state school of agri
culutre The board took this ac
tion yesterday to insure the valid
ity of the choice The board first
selected Curtis May 30 before tin
act creating the law was in effect
and to guard against legal com
plications it reaffirmed its form
er action Those present at the
meeting were Secretary of State
Wait Land Commissioner Cowles
and Attorney General Martin
The vote was unanimous Treas
urer George was the only mem
ber of the board not present
The board accepted the deeds
to 462 aeres of land and ordered
them recorded There were ten
deeds and no serious question wai
raised against any of them The
board in its resolution locating
the school at Curtis expressed the
determination to obtain plans for
the main building lecture rooms
and dormitory one laboratory
building not less than two live
stock barns and the necessary
sheds and pens and enclosures at
the estimated cost of not to ex
ceed 75000 The members of
the board say they Anil confer
with regents of the university in
regard to the plans for buildings
Thus far work of building and
turning the institution over to
the regents of the university to
manage has not materialized

Colors Warm and Cold
One clear cold winters day Benja
min Franklin spread a number of
handkerchiefs carefully on a level
stretch of snow One of the handker
chiefs was black another white and
the others of various colors Some
time afterward he returned and re
moved the uankerckiefs carefully one
by one measuring the depth of snow
under each Under the black handker
chief he found that the snow had melt
ed considerably under a red handker
chief almost as much under a blue
hankerchief very little and under the
white one scarcely any By this simple
experiment he learned that color has a
great deal to do with the warmth of
clothing White sheds the suns heat
almost as well as an oilskin sheds
water blue is nearly as heat proof
green is less so yellow is a warm color
red a still warmer color while black
soaks up almost all the suns heat that
strikes it Make the experiment some
time and you will see why black
clothes are out of place in the summer
time and white ducks in winter

The Thunderers Logographs
Some of the most serious riots re
corded in the printing trades occurred
in 1814 when the London Times was
first printed by steam and a number
of workmen discharged through this
innovation sought to wreck the office
in Printing House square Long be
fore this the Times had been printed
logographically that is to say the pro
prietor conceived the happy Idea of
having words cast entire to save the
compositors the trouble of collecting
type The logographs most in demand
were Dreadful robbery atrocious out
rage fearful calamity alarming ex
plosion loud cheers interesting fe
male One hundredweight of each of
these was always kept in stock In
teresting females no longer figure in
newspaper reports but otherwise the
cliches of journalism seem to have al
tered but little London Chronicle
Chinas Floating Islands
On all the great lakes of China are
found floating islands which are enor
mous rafts of bamboo overlaid with
earth and bearing on the surface of
the water pretty houses and gardens
They are in fact aquatic farms bear
ing crops of rice and vegetables The
rich bottom mud utilized as an artifi
cial soil is extremely fertile and yields
bountiful harvests though on a small
scale In a country where there is a
lack of available land the floating
plantations are most serviceable large
sails being attached to the dwelling
house as well as to each corner of the
island whenever it is desired to move
about After gathering a crop of
grain or garden produce from his farm
the floating farmer casts his nets into
the water and from their depths brings
up a supply of fish for his family
Cheeky John Forster
In William Harrison Ainsworth and
His Friends the author S M Ellis
tells a quaint story of Ainsworth and
his friend John Forster Ainsworth
had discovered a fine set of Hogarths
engravings which was held at 5 a
sum which he said I could not just
then spare or at least did not think I
ought to spare I took John Forster
down to see the Hqgarths whereupon
he actually said that he would and
must have them himself and as he had
not 5 of loose money at that moment
I should lend that sum to him I
pointed out the absurdity of the posi
tionthat I wanted the engravings for
myself and could not afford to lay out
the money how then could I lend it
to him It was of no use He over
ruled me had the 5 of me and bought
the Hogarths I was longing for
The Moves In Chess
In the number of possible moves
chess stands alone among games and
not only is it perfectly safe to say that
country schools and a library for n vjnr man haf ever mad
iii i i i once everv possible move but it Is
lu U7V U1 BV l ahUU ieuly improbable that in all the
Kinu mere win e attendants m
charge to explain how the books
may be obtained and to answer
all questions concerning the work
The Nebraska Library commission
was established by the state leg
islature in 1901 In the ten years
of its organization it has sent
76000 books out over the state
and the demand for these books
is steadily increasing This year
an additional appropriation was
given to the commission to sup
ply books to the unfortunates
who are confined within the thir
teen state institutions After you
have seen the aeroplane flights
heard Libera tis band and grand
opera singers the speed contests
etc do not forget to look up the
method of securing a traveling
library for your town or commun
ity
turies of the hisjtory of the game has
every possible move been made The
different ways of playing the first four
moves on each side are so numerous
that if every man woman and child
in a city of half a million population
were to set to work playing them at
the rate of four moves a minute night
and day it wou d be more than a year
before any one would be able to leave
the chessboard

AN EARLY FALL SUIT THAT
SHOWS THE NEW SLASHED
SKIRT
Tho it is an admitted fact that
the general lines of a new style
feature are inspired by Paris
there are few which are accepted
absolutely without being modified
to suit the needs and taste of the
woman here The freakish and
exaggerated models of the French
ill
Ladies Home Journal Pattern No 6079 GOfOJ
dressmakers are invariably toned
down and simplified to just the
right degree which gives the
American her individuality and
trim style
At present on most of the mod
els shown by the Parisian
neres some modification of the
slashed skirt seems to be in evi
dence The dressmakers here find
this feature quite impractical
for the American woman and
have adopted a plan of inserting
pleated sections at the slashes
such a is shown in the illustra
tion Besides being a style feat
ure these pleated sections are
really quite practical as they
give width at the bottom of the
skirt and especially on very nar
row models making walking eas
ier without destroying the long
slim lines On the more dressy
models the pleats are often of
satin or of the same materiil and
j color as the trimming on the cos
tume sometimes held in place by
small tabs and buttons
The coats of the new suits are
of a practical length with long
collars of various shapes and
sizes Perhaps the newest idea
for a coat collar was seen on a
smart tailored suit of blue serge
The back was in shawl effect an
was made of rather wide val edg
ing gathered at the neck and
very near the edge where it was
also tacked to the coat There
were rather large pointed revers
in front made of white pique
which really gave a surprisingly
smart effect
The suit pictured in the illus
rtation was shown of natural col
or linen with the pleated section
at the front of the skirt of white
linen The collar and cuffs also
of white linen were embroidered
in tan
