Governor Aldrich endorses the reso lution passed by a municipal owner ship mass meeting in Lincoln which asks the state board of irrigation to withhold its consent from any scheme of development of the water power of the state until the next session of the legislature. "I favor such a movement , " said Governor Aldrich , who is a member of the state board , "and I have no doubt that the state board will refuse to ap prove grants for power purposes on the Loup and Platte rivers until the legislature meets and acts on a propo sition for state development of those streams for power purposes. I shall have more to say on that subject at Broken Bow when I go there to de liver a speech. " Discipline to Be Enforced. The lax administration which has been prevalent at the state peniten tiary for several months , which was either directly or indirectly responsi- hle for the murder of four oliicials there and the escape of the three con victs , is at an end , according to word given out there. After a conference between the governor and the newly- appointed warden. Sam Melick , it was announced that visitors' day at the institution would be abolished ; that there would be a change in the per sonnel of the guards employed at the prison and that a definite , determined battle would be waged against the 3ope traffic from now on. New Policies at Penitentiary. The new policies to be put into ef fect by Warden Melick are different from any so far used at the prison. Although prison restrictions are to be added and enforced to the limit , the I | , men are to enjoy more privileges than j j formerly. To offset the rule recently in effect that the men are not to talk svith each other during working hours. ! s the new menu allowing the prison ers greater variety in the prison fare. Other rules are the same , and al though the prisoners are denied all privileges which might be used to the detriment of the prison government , -the men are to be allowed more com forts in other ways. Wants More Refrigerator Cars. State Food Commissioner Hansen will attempt to carry out the plan of his predecessor , W. R. Jackson , to in duce railroads to run more refriger ator cars for the shipment of eggs and to cease the use of freight cars. The railroads showed little interest in the project and nothing definite was accomplished by Mr. Jackson be fore he was obliged to stop work on account of illness which resulted in his death. Butler County Gets Flag. David City The handsome silk flag which was the property of Company E , Nebraska national guard pf David City , and which went with that com pany to the Philippines , has been pre sented to Butler county by Capt. John F. Zeilinger and accepted by the county commissioners. The flag has been in the possession of Captain Zeil inger since the company returned from the Philippines in 189t ) . C. W. Pool Files Withdrawal. Charles W. Pool of Tecumseh , a can didate for the deomcratic nomination for governor , Thursday filed notice of withdrawal with the secretary of state. His action leaves the race for the favor of the party between John IL Morehead of Falls City and R. L. Metcalfe of Lincoln. Civilian Cook for the Pen. "I have decided to get a civilian cook for the penitentiary , " said Gov ernor Aldrich in a discussing of the proposed changes at that institution. The cooking has been done in the past by convicts. A civilian night en gineer will also be employed instead of a convict. 'Sheriff Hyers of Lancaster county has sent a letter to Governor Aldrich Jn which he recommends that the next session of the state legislature appro priate ? 5,000 for Mrs. Roy Blunt , the three-months bride of the farmer boy who was killed while being forced to drive the convicts during the battle with the officers. A Methodist Who -Couldn't Wait. Charles Strader , in charge of the campaign for the half million endow ment for the Nebraska Wesleyan uni versity , was delighted to receive the other day a check for $2,000 from Rev. J. Adriance , an aged Methodist minis ter of Fremont. The time for starting the subscriptions does not arrive until April 22 , and yet here is a Methodist who cannot wait for the time , but sends in his contribution in the form of a check. "Have all made nominations who wish ? " asked Secretary of State Addison - son Wait , Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. "If so , I declare the nomina tions Closed ; prepare your ballots for April 19. " The gavel then fell on nominations under the state primary law. It closed a long a > d grilling siege in Uie office of the secretary of state , where for months nomination papers have been filed and recorded when the papers were correct and re turned to candidates or their friends when incorrect , with letters of Instruc tions to make the wrong right. \ ALL OVER NEBRASKA. i he Seed Corn Campaign. Chancellor Avery of the University Of Nebraska and other university men who took an active part in the recent seed corn campaign of the publicity bureau of the Omaha Commercial club , have written the following let ter to C. C. Rosewater , chairman of the bureau : Y\Te wish to express our apprecia tion of the service rendered the state in the campaign for better seed corn just closed. The public-spirited men of the Omaha Commercial club , in co operation with the railroads , made this campaign possible. There will never be any way of ac tually knowing the amount of good accomplished. The feeling of the speakers , who were college and ex tension workers from the University of Nebraska , can best be expressed by a quotation from one of the num ber who has spent nine years as an extension worker and thirty-seven years as a farmer in this state. "I feel better satisfied with the last two weeks spent on these corn trains than with any two weeks of my entire life. The interest of the farmers was remarkable , and the talks were prac tical. The campaign will be produc tive of much immediate good , and its results will be felt for years. " We wish especially to commend the work of the publicity bureau. This work was so well organized and car ried out that there are probably few. citizens of the state not familiar with the campaign. S. AVERT , Chancellor. E. A. BURNETT , Dean. C. W. PUGSLEY , Agricultural Extension. Tribute to Young Blunt. Sarpy County. The body of Roy Blunt was laid to rest in the Spring field cemetery. The body of the young farmer , the innocent victim of the man-hunt , which ended in the death of two penitentiary convict murder ers and the capture of a third in a pitched battle with sheriffs' officers Monday , was brought to that city from his late home , six miles away. In cutters , bobsleds and wheeled vehicles of every description , some 200 mourners. farmers of Sarpy county and residents of Springfield and nearby towns , braved the biting north wind and followed the impro vised hearse through the well-nigh impassable roads of Sarpy county to its destination. Services at the church were largely attended , the building being utterly inadequate to accommo date all mourners. Rev. A. J. Warne of Springfield officiated at the fun eral. He touched on the youth of the dead man , his great popularity in the community in which he had passed his entire life , and the sym pathy which all extended to his be reaved family. He touched lightly on the incidents leading up to young Blunt's death , and spoke of the ap parently needless sacrifice. Accused of Murder. Furnas County. Phillip W. Harlan , sr. , who is under arrest at Cairo , 111. , charged with killing S. F. George , a hotel proprietor there , has lived in Furnas county since 1SS1. He homesteaded - steaded in Weaver precinct and now owns a fine , large farm. His only son , Phillip W. Harlan , jr. , resides near the old homestead and is a prominent and influential citizen. Harlan left there a month ago to visit Avith relatives at McClure , 111. , which is a short distance from Cairo. Stirred Over Tragedy. Seward County. Seward's popula tion has been stirred up to quite a pitch over the late tragedy at the pen itentiary , and capture of the murder ers , and the killing of young Farmer Blunt. It is the prevailing sentiment that the legislature should extend aid to the widow. Former Nebraskan Drowned. Otoe County. A telegram received in Nebraska City by Hon. Patrick Roddy states that his son , who was working for the government at Wen- atche , Wash. , was last seen working on a barge on the river at that place and it is presumed that he fell off the same while his companions were on the shore. Reject Commission Plan. Hall County. The proposition to adopt the commission form of govern ment in Grand Island was badly de feated , the vote being 475 against it. Testing Seed Corn. The Enterprise club , which is the Commercial club of Florence , Ne braska , has been testing the corn for the farmers in that -vicinity free this spring and has opened the eyes of the growers to such an extent that it is assured all the seed corn will be tested before planting. Having had such good luck along that line' j they now have made arrangements j with the state university to have j three or more lecturers come and j demonstrate orchard work. Brown's Pension Amendment. Washington dispatch : An amend ment to be offered to the pending pension bill by Senator Brown of Nebraska provides that soldiers who are prevented from doing manual la bor because of injuries received or' disease incurred in line of duty shall be eligible to the provisions of the bill , without regard to the length of service. The senator believes it would be unjust to bar from pension benefits those who were prevented by injury or disease from serving ninety days. NICE , BUT NOT IN HIS Lfflt Exhibition of "Mantles" Most Pleas urable , Only Young Man Had Other Business to Attend To. "I've come to see about the mantles , miss. " "O , yes. I'm glad you have come so soon ; will you step into the drawing room' ? " The young man stepped ; he was pleased with his pleasant reception. After awhile ma came in and said : "How do ? " So sorry to trouble him , but would he mind if they tried the mantles on ? Her daughter's was a trifle too full , and her own a trifle too long , she thought. Perhaps he would be good enough to see. The young man said he would be only too delighted. The two elegant mantles in the lat est style which were lying across the back of the sofa were then donned , and the young man said he thought they looked charming. Yes , perhaps a little alteration was required , but if they would excuse him he would be glad if they would let him get on with his work and show him the gas burn ers that were requiring fresh mantles. Why ! Wasn't he from Jiggins & Jigginses ? O , no ! He was the young man that attended to the mantles from the gas company ! Rehoboth Sunday Herald. HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE "I can truthfully say Cuticura Rem edies have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago I noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger , and not giving it any attention , it soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If I would have them in water for a long time , they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in. tiiem. After using all the salves I could think of , I went to three different doctors , but all did me no good. The only relief I got was1 scratching. "So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies , I pur chased one complete set , and after using them three days my hands were ' much better.
