Arbor Day Proclamation. Governor Aldrich has issued a proc lamation calling attention to the fact that Arbor day is a legal holiday in Nebraska and that the day should be fittingly observed. April 22 is the day designated by statute as Arbor day and Nebraska was the first state in the union to pass an act declaring it a legal holiday. The governor's proc lamation is as follows : "The return of spring reminds us that a holiday of special interest to Nebraska is approaching and citizens of the state should see to it that the day should be fittingly observed. "April 22 has been Designated by law as Arbor day and the fact that its founder was a distinguished citizen of this state gives the occasion added significance. "Therefore , I , Chester H. Aldrich governor of the state of Nebraska , in accordance with the usual custom and pursuant to the statute in such case . made and provided , do hereby pro claim that April 22 be observed throughout the state as Arbor day and I suggest that it should be made an occasion of special observance in all schools and that the people of the state generally engage in the planting of trees , shrubs and vines and such other undertakings as shall be fitting with the general character of the oc casion. " Practical Fire Dempnstration. State Fire Warden Charles Randall gave a demonstration in his office in the state house of how to carry an exploded oil lamp out of a room with out harm to the person or without setting fire to articles in the room. He lighted a rolled up newspaper and when the blaze was at its height took hold of the paper and backed out of the door. The flame receded from him instead of striking him in the breast and setting fire to his clothing , which it would have done if he had rushed out of the room with the blaze in front of him. "The only time you want to back up is when the lamp explodes. " he said , "and the lamp won't get hot and burn your hands. The lamp gets so warm when the other method is used that the holder is obliged to drop it before reaching the door and then the oil spreads and the fire department must be 'called. " Guardsmen on the Carpet. Forty-two members of the Nebraska national guard called at the office of Adjutant General Phelps and explained to Major Julius A. Penn , Twelfth United States infantry , why they did not appear at the annual inspection which Major Penn conducted for the war department during the winter months. Most of them gave as an excuse long residence in the country and severe snow storms on the night of inspection. They were given some advice about absenteeism when they had no good excuse. They were called in because the attendance at the government inspection did not total eight hundred in the _ state , and that number must be reached to en title the state to a portion of its $32,000 annual appropriation from the government for the support of the na tional guard. The necessary number was reported. To Bring Hesse Back. Sheriff Roberts of Tecumseh has obtained a requisition on the governor of Florida for the return of E. E. Hesse , charged with murdering his wife and step-daughter , Wauneta , at Tecumseh in 1910. Hesse is reported to be at St. Petersburg , Fla. , across the ba\ from Tampa. He is supposed to be in custody. State Fire Warden Charles A. Ran dall proposes to enforce his ruling that gasoline is not kept in a safe manner unless it is stored at least three feet underground. In a letter to dealers he insists that all must live up to this ruling , which he has made under the law , or discontinue the sale of gasoline. A number of knives were collected by prison officials Saturday morning. These came from the men who went 'to the hospital for treatment and were found in their clothing. All were crude affairs , however. Secretary Mellor of the state fair board has received a signed contract from Worth am & Allen's united shows of Springfield , 111. , a company that put on midway shows for the Indiana and Illinois state fairs last year. The company will do the same for the Nebraska state fair this year. As usual , the Nebraska fair board re serves the right to censor any of the shows on midway and prohibits gam bling or games of chance on the grounds. Major Antles Deputy Warden. Major Howard H. Antles , formei'ly of Pilger , an officer in the Nebraska national guard , has been appointed deputy warden of the stte peniten tiary by Governor Aldrich. Major Antles has been acting deputy ever since the outbreak of three escaping prisoners and the manner in which he has performed his duties has received the commendation of .Governor Aldrich and Warden S. M. Melick. The new deputy was not an applicant for the place. ALL OVER NEBRASKA. Spring Musical Festival. Douglas County.

The Thomas orchestra , which is un der the direction of Frederick Stock , has sixty men , making a total of 220 , wliich will appear on the mammoth Auditorium stage at one time. Four eminent .soloists and one violinist will add to the program.

A concession has been made , tickets being issued for the two performances for § 2. The combination of the choir and orchestra affords an opportunity for music lovers that they seldom enjoy. Both being high class organizations , standing practically alone in their re- 'spective ' fields , an entertainment com plete in every way is offered. Alleged Murderer Under Arr.est. Johnson County E. E. Hesse , want ed in Tecumseh on the charge of murdering his wife , and stepdaughter , Wauneta , is in the custody of Florida officials , according to advices which have been received. E. B. Quacken- busli of Auburn and Sheriff Eugene Roberts of Tecumseh are preparing to secure requisition papers for the re turn of the prisoner to Nebraska. Hesse is charged with 'having ' murder ed his wife and stepdaug'hter ' in July , 1910.

Hesse , it is charged , killed the wo men and then threw the bodies down the well. Issues First Bulletin. Lancaster County.

Polk County. One feature of the city election at Stromsburg this year was- that the wet and dry question was not taken into consideration as all the principal business men agreed to drop that issue indefinitely and the question of saloons are not mentioned there any more.

Dodge Count } * . Dodge county has probably sustained more damage from destruction of roads and bridges and farm lands washed by the recent floods than any other county on the Platte river. An effort may be made' to get the federal government to take a hand in trying to control the river. For Commissioners' Work. The state food commissioner and his assistants during the month of March made 638 inspections , thirty- eight chemical analyses , issued ninety-one orders to business houses to clean up , conducted one prosecu tion , filed sixteen complaints and col lected $323.82 in fees which were re mitted to the state treasurer.

A smaller acreage than usual of spring wheat and oats will be sown on account of the wet condi tions of the fields. A Favored Locality. Boone County. This part of the world has been very fortunate during the floods , suffering no loss worth peaking of. The roads are the worst n the memory of man. 125,000 AMERICANS GO TO CANADA IN 1911.- THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A GREAT INCREASE. In a report of the House Committee ( Washington ) appears the following : "Canada offers a three-year home stead upon good land , easily reclaimed and cultivated , -with'six months' leave of ahsence each year and most lenient regulations. " All of which Is true and It Is now the part of the careful reader to con sider the opportunities that exist in Western Canada which , in addition to the ahove , are attractive features The evidence of these Is found In the letters contributed by some of the settlers. For instance : A former Min nesotan , writing from Warner , South era Alberta , speaks of that district , but what he says , applies generally to all of Southern Alberta. He says : "I have seen six crops , four of them were first class , one of them a very good crop , and the other a poor crop , Government statistics for the last fif teen years show that this country has averaged about fifteen or sixteen inches of moisture. In 1910 there was only seven inches , and in 1911 twenty two inches. The 1909 crop was about as good as I have seen in this coun try and we had about twelve inches of moisture , so that I am thoroughly con vinced that with normal conditions that is , from twelve to fifteen inches of moisture , and with the natural in crease of population and immigration that Southern Alberta will be one of the very best mixed farming districts In the world. We have good soil , good water , and a good climate , and alto gether just as desirable a country to live in as Dakota , Minnesota , Iowa , or Wisconsin. " Hundreds of letters are on file from former American settlers , which give good reasons why the Western Can ada lands are being settled so rapidly. Full particulars can be had of any Ca nadian Government Agent , who will furnish literature and give low rate certificates. Excursions are being run daily. Probably Made a Hit. A young woman who presides over one of the kindergarten schools of Cambridge appeared at her desk re cently attired in a new close-fitting skirt. With no thought other than the conducting of her regular routine work , the teacher went about her du ties. She noticed , however , that one of her charges was paying little at tention to his work , but following her with his eyes wherever she chanced to go. Approaching the little fellow with the intention of ascertaining the trouble , she said : "Well , Tommy ' Before she could go any further the youngster shook his boyish head and said : "Say , teacher , " that's a classy skirt you've got on ! " Boston Post. Invading the Enemy's Country. "In pursuance of a plan I have had in mind for some time , " announced Pastor Goodsole at the close of his sermon , "I have rented a small room in an apartment house in a fashion able neighborhood and expect to open a mission Sunday school there on the first Sunday in May. I don't know , brethren , where the children who at tend it are to come from if , indeed , any children attend it at all , but it will be there all summer , and may be re garded either as an opportunity or as a reproach. We will now sing our closing hymn. " Fooling the Lord. "Mother , " teased a little boy of five , "does God know everything that I'm going to do before I do it ? " "Yes , dear , everything , " she said. "Well , does he know that I'm go ing upstairs in a minute and put on tny pajamas and say my prayers and Set into bed ? " "Yes , dear , he knows everything. " "Well , tonight he's going to get fooled , for I'm not going to say my prayers. " St. Louis Republic. When Your Eyes Neeci Care Try ilurino Eye Remedy. No Smarting FeclE Fine Acts Quickly.
