It was his mother, ac cused of a traffic violation. Ages 14 to 24 Are Dangerous for Travel If you are between the ages of 15 and 24 or over 65, you had better be on your special guard against traffic accidents. Ac cording to a report released to day from the Nebraska Safety Council, the younger group ac counts for 25 per cent of the traffic fatalities in the State while it constitutes only 18 per cent of the population. The elder group accounts for 15 per cent of the fatality list while making up only eight per cent of the population. The report added that if you are between the ages of 30 and 34, you are in the safest age group. This category make up about seven per cent of the population with only five per cent of the fatalities. Of course, the account con tinued, if you are under five, you have little to worry about because you are in an age group that constitutes eight per cent of the population and only two per cent of the fatalities. Also released were the total number of fatalities in each of the accident categories. Motor vehicle collisions involving two or more vehicles accounted for 103 fatalities, while motor-ve-hicle-pedestrain accidents num bered 56 deaths. Collisions with trains brought death to 23 persons, non-collision type accidents killed 62 mo torists and crashing into fixed objects accounted for 22 deaths. There were three other miscel laneous type accidents which brought death to three persons.

Wescott Finds Market About Steady C. C. Wescott, buyer for the Wescotts store of this city, re turned the past week from Kansas City where he was in attendance at the "Heart of America" market at Kansas City, Missouri, where he was called to look over the seasonal offerings on the market. Mr. Wescott states that he found little change in the real ly top merchandise in the well known makes of men's suits of high class woolens, while in the cheaper grades of mixed goods there is a tendency toward low er prices. Cotton goods are showing a lower range in lines of shirts although the national ly advertised brands are still holding their range of prices. Mr. Wescott found the gener al trend toward leveling off of the markets and price range. He looks for no further raises in prices, at least in the im mediate future. Raw materials are lower, but the prices are kept up by the labor costs and overhead of production, in the plants, but the consumer resis tance has held down the ad vance in the increase of prices. Mrs. Jerry Konfrst in Serious Condition Mrs. Jerry Konfrst of this city, who was injured on Wed nesday when thrown from a station wagon while returning to her home in the wrest pait of the city, is reported to be in serious condition at the Doctors hospital at Omaha.

NEBImSKA v JAMES C OLSON, Superintendent STATE HISTOBICAL SOCIETY Convening of the 61st session of the legislature at Lincoln calls to mind that Nebraska's capital city was the scene of its first legislative session in 1869, just 80 years ago. Although that meeting was known as the first regular ses sion, it actually was the fifth session of the state legislature. Four sessions were held in the old territorial Capitol building at Omaha while the new state capitol was being constructed. In his message to the legis lature, Governor David Butler reviewed Nebraska's progress in little less than a year of state hood, and outlined what he considered to be the most im portant problems facing the lawmakers convened in Lincoln. In certain respects they were problems which are faced by today's legislators schools, sup port of the state government, and care of the dependent and unfortunate. They had other problems which N'ebraskans do not face today. One of these was pro tection against the Indians. The Governor urged that pro visions be made for a regular militia, so that 'those who go out upon the frontiers should be made to feel that the strong arm of the State will be swift and constant to extend to them full protection." Another problem facing the legislature in 1869 was the man agement of the Lancaster Coun ty salt deposits. These were ex pected to become large produc ers of salt and were one of the reasons why the state capital was located at its present site. While still optimistic, Governor Butler was disturbed at the rate of progress being made. The fault, according to his annual message, seemed to lie with the company developing the deposits. Governor Butler told the legislature: "So far has it failed that the local demand for salt has not been supplied, and that it has been unable at times to supply even a single bushel for home consumption." Probably the most exciting feature of the legislative ses sion of 1869 was the election of a United States senator to suc- 4 ceed Thomas W. Tipton. After a spirited contest. Senator Tip ton was re-elected. Probably the most notable and enduring legislation enact ed in 1869 was the establish- 1 ment of the university of N e- braska. The act was signed February 15 celebrated each year as "Charter Day." MURRAY STUDY CLUB Mrs. Robert McKulsky, pres ident of the club, entertained the Murray Study club at her home January 20th.
