THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOUKG
MUST BE PAID FOR
LINCOLN It is np to the state offi
cers, who though residing in Lincoln
retain their citizenship in the counties
from which they were elected, and
who have children in the public
schools here, to pay the tuition of
such children at the same rate
as charged non-resident pupils, or to
furnish the school board with a satis
factory reason for not doing so.
Secretary Morris of the school board
discussed the matter with Governor
Mickey this afternoon and it is under
stood to be his intention to present
bills to the state officers and their dep
uties and employes for the tuition of
their children. Governor Mickey dis
cussed the proposition with Attorney
General Norris Brown, and will take
no action about paying the bill until
he has looked into it further. Should
the school board have a right to make
the collection, the governor will pay,
but it is understood that the governor
and the others who have been called
noon seriously doubt the .legality of
the claim, while they have no doubt
about the injustice of it
M'BRIEN TALKS TO STUDENTS
Speaks Highly of Work of the New
School.
KEARNEY State Superintendent J.
L. McBrien spent a day at the Normal
school. He was most enthusiastically
greeted at chapel and addressed the
school, exhorting the students and fac
ulty to remember and not despise the
day of small things. He spoke highly
of the work hs observed in progress
in the various classes and contrasted
the ancient method of completing a
school building and then watching,
waiting and praying for students to
enter, with the present approved plan
of students apearlng on the ground in
time to study the architecture of the
building during the process of con
strctktn. Mr. McBrien gave a lucid
exposition of the new school law
relative to the qualifications of teach
ers and county superintendents, and
urged the proper preparation on the
part of Normal students to meet the
new requirements.
Figuree on Small Graiin.
LINCOLN The State Bureau of La
bor and Statistics has issued its re
port on the yield and value of wheat
and oats in Nebraska for 1905. A
perusal of the tables shows that the
total production of winter wheat this
year is 36,630.319 bushels at a value
of $25,641,223.30, and the production of
spring wheat is 4,713,438 bushels with
a value of $3,299,406.60, making a total
wheat yield of $41,343,757 bushels, as
compared with 31,825,850 bushels in
1904. The total value of the wheat
crop this year is $28,940,629.90 as
compared with $26,415,455.47 in 1904.
Officers May Test School Law.
As a result of the attempt on the
part of the school board of Lincoln
to compel state officers who vote in
school districts other than this one,
to pay tuition for their children who
are attending the public schools of
this city, a test may be made of the
school law which requires non-resi
Cen-I.'ent pnplls to pay tuition. A move-
ment is on foot to have one of the
state employes bring mandamus pro
ceedings against the school board
should it refuse admittance to those
children whose parents refuse to pay
tuition.

CHILDREN'S CORN SHOW
IS ATTRACTINC ATTENTION
Deputy Superintendent Bishop's corn
show, to be given in Lincoln at the
state farm December 14 and 15, in
which 500 school boys will compete for
prizes for raising the best corn and
as many girls as desire may compete
for prizes for cooking, is attracting
much attention not only in Nebraska,
but in other states. The State Beard
of Agriculture has contributed $100 to
the enterprise. It is the intentiou at
this show to organize a state society
of agriculture to be composed of school
boys. Already county and district so
cieties are being organized and others
are to be organized during the month.
Troubles Seem Never to End.
NORFOLK Fate will not allow the
life of Mrs. Herman Wippern, the
young woman recently restored to her
parents in Boyd county, after having
been kidnapped eighteen years before,
to continue long without its incident

went downtown at Butte, to shop. She
left her 1-year-old baby in its trundle
bed at home, sound asleep and appar
ently in the best of health. When she
returned a half hour later she found
her baby unconscious and it was soon
after dead.
May Sue Lincoln School District
A movement is on foot to recover
from the school district of Lincoln
some $40,000 or $50,000 alleged to oe
due the state, because in years past
Lincoln census takers have enumerat
ed students attending the State uni
versity as residents of Lincoln and
thus received many thousands of dol
lars of the semi-annual school appor
tionments to which the district was
not entitled. Just how much money
the Lincoln school district has man
aged to get from the state through
this manner will soon be figured out

counsel has been heeded. The people
are to be given some "inalienable
rights" the right of assembly, free
dom of the press, and the writ of
habeas corpus. The national assemb
ly is to be converted into a real legis
lature with much greater powers than
those given the douma. The suffrage
is to be much extended. This should
pacify Russia, but it may come too
late.
It is manifest that the policy of
coercion could nqJK longer be adhered
to. The reports as to the unreliabil
ity of the army are more detailed and
come from more points. One hears
of soldiers who refuse to fire on the
people, who desert, who mutiny. It
ib evident that the leaven of discon
tent is working among the troops, and
that the right arm of the autocracy
Is weakened. The people are losing
their fear of the soldiers as well as
of the priests. Every sign of timid
ity on the part of the autocracy em
boldens them.
No concessions the czar will con
sent to make will have much influ
ence on the social democrats and the
revolutionary socialists who have en
gineered the extensive strikes and
demonstrations which are reducing
the government to impotency. Their
simple creed is "land and liberty."
They demand for the peasants the

DYNASTY OF
MICHAEL ROMANOFF
(1613.)

(Eighteenth of the
Line.)
ASSASSINATED:
PETER III.
T2.)
IVAN VI.
(1764.)
PAUL
(1801.)
ALEXANDER
(1881.)
The Romanoff dynasty has ruled Russia for 392 years, or through near
ly four whole centuries, marked by bloodshed, massacre, assassination,
intrigue, conspiracy, and war.
In those four centuries the Romanoffs fought wars with nearly every
people In Europe. They fought Sweden, subdued Poland, subjugated the
Crimean provinces, overrun Livonia, dismembered Poland, and sent their
Cossacks like a scourge across the Caucasus until they had conquered
the center of Asia as far as the tomb of Tamerlane, and added all of Siberia
to the realms of the czar.
In those four centuries the Romanoffs fought wars with Sweden, Eng
land, France, Italy, Prussia, Austria. Hungary. Turkey, China, and Japan.
They fought with and against Napoleon. They helped Prussia against
France, and in turn joined France in crushing Prussia. Three times they
tried to conquer Turkey. Twice they tried to invade Persia. Their hand has
been against almost every nation, and ruler, and people in Europe. They
have been better hated and better feared than the members of any
reigning family that ever held a throne in modern Europe.
And yet these same Romanoffs, whose throne has been washed with
the blood of a million murdered subjects, until its steps were as crimson as
the velvet canopy above it, found Russia a horde of half oriental barbarians,
to a modern nation, one of the recog- to a modern nation, one of the recog
nized powers in the world. They developed commerce, established uni
versities, gridironed the empire with railroads, fostered religion, cultivat
ed art and science. Their ships ply every sea. Their railroads cross two
continents. They are rivals with England and the United" States in many
lines of commerce. Their lawyers are recognized in the international
courts of the world, their scientists are quoted in every laboratory, their
literature is in every modern library, and their music is recognized among
the classics.
The first Romanoff was Michael Feodorovitz who ascended the throne
in, 1613, after the assassination of Feodor I., last of the house of Rurik,
which had ruled for 700 years. He crushed a rebellion and ruled until
1645 in comparative peace. He was succeeded by his son Alexis, who in
his turn crushed a rebellion by hanging, burning, and torturing 7,000 pris
oners. Then came the son of Alexis, Feodor III., who ruled from 167C to 1682.
He left two sons, Ivan V. and Peter I. half brothers. They ruled jointly,
the real empress being Sophia, mother of Peter I. Sophia gave Russia the
bloodiest reign history had ever known up to that time. It all ended in
1696, when Ivan V. died. Then Peter I. asserted himself, and put his mother
in a convent.
The history of modern Russia really dates from the reign of Peter I.,
for he was that most famous monarch of all Russia, Peter the Great. He sig
nalized his entry into power by beheading 5,000 of his enemies. He was a
wonderful, enterprising, broad minded, cruel, bloodthirsty monarch, who
hanged, burned, tortured, and drowned his subjects, until all Russia was
one vast orgy of blood. .And yet Peter the Great built St. Petersburg, estab
lished the commerce of Russia, introduced modern culture, and died after
poisoning his own sen.
Catherine I., wife of Peter the Great, succeeded him in 1725. She was
as famous as she was infamous. She was succeeded by Peter II.. and then
by Anne, daughter of Ivan. Anne was the first ruler of Russia to banish
prisoners to Siberia. She thus exiled 40.000 of her subjects, and sent 10.
000 more to the scaffold.
Anne was followed by Ivan VI.. who was exiled and then assassinated.
A coup d'etat called Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, to the
throne in 1741, and she reigned through twenty years of intrigue and assassination.
Peter HI. mounted the throne In 1762, only to be murdered by his wife's
favorite in a few months. Then his wife. Catherine II., grasped the scep
ter and ruled, a dissolute empress, until 1796. Her son Paul succeeded her,
and in 1801 he was assassinated.
Then came Alexander I., the emperor who burned Moscow to prevent
its capture by Napoleon, and who afterwards marched his army to the
gates of Paris, compelled Napoleon to abdicate, and sent him an exile to
Elba.
Nicholas I. came to the throne in 1825. He was a warlike ruler, and
his armies fought on every battlefield of Europe for thirty years. During
his reign 1,000.000 of his subjects perished in foreign wars.
Alexander II. began to rule in 1835. He was the most enlightened
ruler of the Romanoff dynasty. He liberated the serfs, and is remember
ed as the czar who sent a fleet to New York during the civil war to check
England's threats of recognizing the confederacy. He was assassinated in
1881 just as he was about to grant Russia a constitution.
Alexander HI. ruled from 1881 until
ceeded in 1894 by the present czar.
Monument Well Deserved.
In New Haven a memorial is to be
erected in memory of Cornelius S.
Bushnell. through whose efforts the
government was persuaded to accept
plans of the Monitor presented by
Ericsson. Connecticut has appro
priated $5,000 and more than that
sum has been raised by popular sub
scription. The monument will be
eighteen feet high and be surmounted
by a carved eagle with outspread
wings and bearing a suitable inscrip
tion on its shaft. The sculptor is
Herbert Adams.
New Fad of Fashionables.
Seeral leading society women in
eastern cities have .adopted the Eu
ropean idea of giving servants' dan
ces. The difference is that the Ameri
can social lights get up such entertain
ments for their servants as make
similar affairs abroad look common
place. Mrs. Seward Webb gives an
annual servants' ball and always
writes the invitations herself. Mrs.
Clarence Mackay's entertainments of
this kind are also of elaborate character.

refuse to be pacified. It Is possible
that their leaders will reason that
further agitation will secure more
concessions.
There is greater hope for Russia
than there was last week, but one
cannot say positively that the worst
Is over. The foreign bankers who
have been at St. Petersburg to discuss
the placing of a new loan have post
poned negotiations. They are to
leave St. Petersburg to-morrow. Man
ifestly they have not sufficient con
fidence in the stability of the govern
ment to lend it a large sum at this
time. Notice was served on them
some time ago by the revolutionists
that future loans made while the
autocracy was in power would be re
pudiated after it was overthrown. The
bankers seem to think it may be over
thrown. Chicago Tribune.

piece of land, and it was one of the
smallest clouds ever on a title. The

Elephant Struck by Traiia.
Says the Shanghai Times: "Ran
goon papers record the rare event of
an elephant being run over by a train.
It happened at the 106th mile on the
Irrawaddy section of the railway. The
elephant was straying on the line. The
front portion of the engine was, of
course, somewhat damaged, as is only
to be expected, but nothing else oc
curred. There was no derailment of
carriages."
Flays Free Use of Water.
Dr. K. Beerwald of Berlin is opposed
to the free drinking of water, so often
advised. He says: "Excessive water
drinking not only produces temporary
disturbance, it also creates direct or
ganic disorders; the heart and kidneys
are particularly affected by the excess,
and in these cases the vascular system
is overcharged and the heart and kid
neys overworked."
Suggestion to Motorists.

Ask Your Neighbors.
Gelatt, Pa., Nov. 6th (Special)
Mrs. H. W. Sterns, a well respected
resident of Gelatt, tells in convincing
words, what Dodd's Kidney Pills have
done for her. She says:
"I was a great sufferer from Rheu
matism, caused through my Kidneys
being out of order. I was subject to
it for years. It would take me with
out warning, and while the attack
lasted I was so lame I could not get
around. So I had to send for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. I took them for three
days, but didn't feel much benefit, but
on the fourth day I noticed a great
change, the lameness in my back was
gone, and the pains I used to suffer
were less. I kept on with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and now I am glad to say
I have no lameness nor pain of any
kind. I feel as if I didn't know what
Rheumatism was. I shall never be
without Dodd's Kidney Pills in the
house, and I bless the day I first heard
of them.
A Biq Claim.

when death has seized or danger
threatened those I love. Thus no fear
of evil tilings ever disturbs me. so
certain am I that if the worst of all
calamities befel, 1 should know it on
the instant of its happening, without
the need of any human agency. Hel

is trying to raise a family and do her
own housework, he is almost sure to
be able to get over it. Chicago Record-Herald.
OLD FASHIONED FARE
Hot Biscuits, Griddle-Cakes, Pies and
Puddings.
The food that made the fathers
Jtrong is sometimes unfit for the chil
dren under the new conditions that
our changing civilization is constantly
bringing in. One of Mr. Bryan's neigh
bors in the great state of Nebraska
writes:
"I was raised in the South, where
hot biscuits, griddle-cakes, pies and
paddings are eaten at almost every
meal, and by the time I located in
Nebraska I found myself a sufferer
from indigestion and its attendant
ills distress and pains after meals,
an almost constant headache, dull,
heavy sleepiness by day and sleep
lessness at night, loss of flesh, impair
ed memory, etc. etc.
"I was rapidly becoming incapaci
tated for business, when a valued
friend suggested a change in my diet,
the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff
and the use of Grape-Nuts food. 1 fol
lowed the good advice and shall al
ways be thankful that I did so.
"Whatever may be the experience
of others, the oeneflcial effects of the
change were apparent In my case al
most Immediately. My stomach,
which had rejected other food for so
long, took to Grape-Nuts most kindly;
in a day or two my headache was
gone, I began to sleep healthfully and
before a week was out the scales
showed that my lost weight was com
ing back. My memory was restored
with the renewed rigor that I felt in
body and mind. For three years now
Grape-Nuts food has kept me in prime
condition, and I propose it shall for
the rest of my days.
"And by the way. my 2 year old
baby is as fond of Grape-Nuts as I am.
always insists on having it. It keeps
her as healthy and hearty as they
make them." Name given by Postunt
Co.. Battle Creek. Mich. There's a
