NEBRASKA TUCKER JURY LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL LINCOLN The supreme court has held that the new Tucker jury law, af fecting all counties outside of Doug las, Lancaster and Gage, is unconsti tutional and has denied the applica tion of Governor Mickey for a man damus to compel the canvassing board of McPherson county to pro ceed under the law in the preparation of a jury list The governor acted on the advice of the attorney general for the purpose of testing the law, which had been found to be so defective that it could not be applied. The opinion in the case will be filed later. The main defect in the statute, which was offered in the legislature by Senator Tucker of Richardson county, was the provision requiring the division of the number of voters by the number of precincts In the county to obtain the quotient which was to serve as the basis for the se lection of names from a list. The state legal department claimed that in most instances this resulting quo tient would be a fraction and that it was physically impossible to use it in picking out the names on the list. Other features of the act were also found to be inoperative because of vagueness. The invalidation of this act will leave the counties affected free to re sort to the old law in choosing juries.

Great Center of Russian Unrest W7IIEM& Kronstadt, the scene of a mutiny of soldiers and sailors ic which hun dreds were killed, is one of Russia's principal naval stations and form a separate administrative division of the empire. The forts and batteries are unsnally heavy, and made se espe cially for the protection of St. Peters burg. A revolt there would be a seri ous menace to the czar. Not only would St. Petersburg be at the mercy of the mutineers but Peterhof Palace, to the southward, could easily be seiz ed. Kronstadt is situated on Kotlin Island, thirty-one miles west of St. Petersburg. The Island, which was taken from the Swedes in 1703, forms an elongated triangle seven miles long by one mile in width. Its base is to ward St. Petersburg. On one side of the island is a shoal channel through which only small vessels may pass, while the channel south of the island is the marine highway to the capital. Heavy batteries defend the northern entrance, while the southern passage is dominated by Forts Alexander, Ris bank, Peter the Great, Constantine. Mentchikoff and Cronslott, all built of granite and armed with guns of largo caliber. Kronstadt has two harbors EDUCATION NEEDED IN RUSSIA First Requisite for Success of Popular Government. If popular government in Russia is to meet with even moderate success it will be necessary for that country to put every dollar it can raise for a good many years into educational fa cilities.

Nebraska State Journal. CHAMBERLAIN MAN OF REPOSE English Statesman Quiet in Manner, but Shrewd Observer. Of Joseph Chamberlain a critic says: "He is one of the most restful men I have ever met. There is no flurry or haste or bustle in his man ner. He is what our grandfathers would have called 'a dry stick.' His voice in conversation has a quizzical tone, his wit is dry, his manner is that of a shrewd and somewhat bored observer rather than that of an active participant. He leans back in his chair, sitting rather low, his hands folded, his eyes studying those about him with quiet, contemplative interest. He never appears eager to make a point in conversation, and one only be comes aware of the quickness and wakefulness of his mind by some shrewd remark which brings general conversation back to the point from which it first set out, or to some def inite conclusion. In Training for High Position. August Belmont III has begun his business training just as his father did. having gone to work in the bank ing house of August Belmont & Co. He is doing just such routine work as always falls to the lot of the youngest clerk in the establishment. The young man is quiet and earnest in manner, seeming intent on mastering whatever Is brought to his notice. When he shows that he has made good progress he will be promoted to a junior part nership, but for the next few years life will be real and earnest for Au gust III. Just as the first August Bel mont trained the present head of the house for the vast responsibilities he was to assume, so the youngest Au gust Belmont is to be trained for the task which will be his when his father lays down his work. School for Backward Children. Miss Olive Jones has established in the heart of New York's swarming east side a school for backward chil dren. The children in each class will be of practically the same age and will have equal opportunities to learn. Miss Jones hopes that one'of the great causes of truancy will be remedied in her school, children who have for any reason got behind their mates and have to join classes with the little fel lows are made fun of and to avoid this ridicule these backward big ones play truant. Beauty's Troubles. It is one of the most difficult things in the world for a girl to be happy if beautiful. People are jealous of her; women she has "cut out" and men she has ignored both unknowingly, perhaps say odious things of and to her. The pleasure of ordinary social intercourse is marred for her by the other women's Inevitable distrust. The man her best friend loves will probably fall in love with poor Clor inda, who doesn't care tuppence for him. The World and His Wife. S A , v -aa-. XBGVZ&r sW iffF ,Kt & -- Bmmmmmssmm nr' -"e5 .

John Roberts, the English billiard player, has just returned from a trip to Australia. One day he was in a small city on the big island, when a lo cal player entered the billiard room where Roberts was. The local man did not know Roberts. Some of his friends who did put up a joke on the Austral ian. They whispered to their unsus pecting champion that the stranger in the corner was a very good player, who might be able to give him a few points. The provincial was nothin loath and requested Roberts to nlav a game oi wv with mm. Huberts replied that he would be pleased, and as to a .. - . ... . . . . . handicap he said he would reserve the right to fix that after he had seen the local man play his first stroke. This offer was considered a somewhat strange one by the challenger, but he accepted it and opened the game with a miss. Roberts then said: "I will give you 99," and proceeded to run out with an unfinished break of 100. THINKS FAIRY TALES DO HARM English Duchess Would Have Children Learn Lives of Great Men. From London comes news that the duchess of Somerset has ordered the teacher of her village school no longer to read fairy tales to the children. The duchess explains her abhorrence of myth and legend in these peremp tory words: "I protest against filling children's mimls with such nonsense and such unpractical ideas. They should be taught from their earlier years, instead, the lives of the world's great men. Julius Caesar, Dante. Na poleon and Milton." Now. it is rather unfortunate for the citation of great men by the duchess that one of them, the first Napoleon, is credited with the cynical statement that "history is a fa ble agreed upon." while the names of Messrs. Dante and Milton are pre served as the authors of great works of imagination. And as for Julius Cae sar, well, he was no novice at fairy tales. The arbitrary duchess has no little boy or girl of her own. Boston Globe. Meant to Be Complimentary. At a reception given in Paris not long ago by Lady Colebrook a French municipal councilor wished to compli ment an Englishwoman and her pretty daughter. The mother wore a fawn coiored gown, the girl being in pink. "Milady." said the councilor, "your lovely daughter might well be called the pink of beauty." "An. monsieur," was the reply, "you are prone to flat tery. I fear." "But no," said the Frenchman, whose knowledge of Eng lish is somewhat limited. "I speak but the truth. Indeed, all must admit that mademoiselle is the pink and you the drab of beauty." Fifty Years in Bed. ' A woman has died recently in Car marthenshire, Scotland, to whom a strange story attaches. Fifty years ago, when she was twenty-four, she fell in love with a man who won f-om her a pledge to marry him. Her par ents, however, disapproved of her choice, the mother declaring that sooner than permit her daughter to ved the youth she would keep her in bed all her life. Strange to say the girl took to her bed at once, and rever rose from it again, losing all interest in the outside world. Novelist's Widow in Poor Health. Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, who has made her home in San Francisco for several years, is in very poor health and has gone to Lower Califor nia to recuperate. Mrs. Stevenson has identified 'herself with a literary co terie in San Francisco and her home is a sort of literary salon. She recently completed a new edition of her hus band's works in which she has sup plied a large amount of new material bearing upon the life of the disting uished novelist. churches specimens of Peter's work as a carpenter are also enshrined. In the matter of schools Kronstadt is fairly well equipped, there being a school for sailors, a naval academy and two gymnasia. Two canals traverse Kron stadt, whose streets are regular and well paved, but all the houses, with the exception of those owned by the government, are chiefly of one story only. The commerce of the town is highly important.

Sundays and work days throughout 1905, each will give the world over a million dol lars of new gold. The mines of the earth will yield this year $375,000,000 of gold. F. A. Vanderlip. the New York banker, looks forward in the near future to an annual average out put of $400,0(10,000 of new gold for at least a considerable number of years. He does not think this startling yellow flood will be a yellow peril to those business relations which are based on terms of money so as to cause any vi tal derangement of affairs. But he does think there is likely to follow just what followed in the two former periods of the world's history when there was an extraordinary production of gold added to the monetary stocks. One of these periods followed the dis covery of America when the treasures' of Mexico and Peru were exploited. The other was in the years following the discovery of gold in California and Australia. In each case a mighty im pulse was given to the exploitation of virgin fields of development. It is not improbable that the next few years will witness the expansion of the field of commercial enterprises into new iuaces. countries mat are commer cially and industrially backward will yield to this important influence. At our hand is South America on one side and China and Japan on another. Beyond are Africa, the other Asiatic countries, and eastern Europe.

Chicago Tribune. MICROPHONE IS THE LATEST Brings London and Rome in Telephon ic Communication. Tete-a-tete between London and Rome. 1.100 miles apart, is the latest telephone revelation. Prof. Majorama has invented the microphone for use with the telephone, whereby experts of London and Rome have already held disjointed conversation. To es tablish telephonic communication be tween the two cities is said to be per fectly simple, provided the connecting wires are thick enough. It is merely a question of money. In telephoning long distances sections of wire are used, which are effective for inter mediate points, but perhaps not sub stantial enough for the entire distance. Failing the necessary .substitution of thicker wires the alternative is the use of the microphone, which makes it possible to hear words transmitted over the thinner wires. The longest distance for effective telephoning from London is at present to Marseilles, 800 miles distant Could Not "Rattle" Schwab. It takes a good deal to disturb the mental equilibrium of Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate, and the Clover club of Philadelphia realized this ar its latest dinner. Mr. Schwab was one of the guests and was down for a speech. When he began his re marks the club members started their usual catcalls and interruptions, with their accustomed object of disconcert ing the peaker. Very few men are able to withstand this assault, but Mr Sch wall was leady. He was suave and self-posessed throughout the ordeal, and when the din became so great that he could not be heard he calmly turned to a neighbor on the platform and started to tell his story. These were new tactics for the Clover club, and after a few trials the steel man was permitted to complete his speech. Shock to His Pride. "A well known dramatic author told me he once took a couple of friends to a play of his own. ' says Frank Drome. "He did riot mention to them that he was the author. Their faces as the play proceeded lengthened; it did not seem to be their school of comedy. At the end of the first act they sprang to their feet. "Let's chuck this rot," suggested one. "Let's gc somewhere else," suggested the other. The well known dramatist fol lowed them out. He thinks the fault must have been with the dinner. Wants America to Found School. Shaban Bey, a leader of the Alban ian insurrection against Turkey, has arrived in this country and will try to interest the American hoard of foreign missions in his psoject for a boy's school in Albania. The sultan has set a price u ua his head. Shaban has been w-ounded several times in fights vrith the hated Turkish soldiery. He thinks that if the boy's school were es tablished by the American board the sultan would not dare interfere with it for fear of offending this country. CONVINCING EVIDENCE That Dr. Williams Pink Pills WiH Cwr Rheumatism. ' People can core themselves of a good many common ailments at a very Binoll cost if they go about it the right way," said Mr. Hoar, recently. "For instance, 1 have just cured myself of a very pain ful disease. I might have begun to treat it sooner, that's all the mistake I made in the matter. But I found the root of the difficulty and I picked out the right remedy without the aid of & doctor. "It was really ali in my blood. I first felt a twinge in my left foot mid ankle iu the middle of last Januurv, following exposure to cold. I realized I had rheu mutism and I knew that really conies from 1k1 blood. Cold iinply develop. it. Then my bunds and feet were cold and clammy even in hot weather, and numb a great part of the time. I cou eluded that my blood was thin and poot ami the circulation sluggish. "After a time my feet and ankles swelled so badly that I could only tio my shoes half way un. Mv legs swelled terribly mid I could walk" only a sliorl distance before giving out completely "When I read of the cures of nit kinds of blood diea.-es. that had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, 1 was con vinced that they were jiva the reined v for my case, mid so it proved. I could see that they were benefiting mo before I hud quite used up the first box. The improvement was decidedly marked u. ter I hud taken two boxes. " Three more boxes restored my hands and feet and legs to natural size and feeling and then I stopped taking medicine and have since been perfectlv well." Mr. F. LeRoy Hoar lives at No. 13S Constitution street. Bristol. R. I. Any one can get convincing evidence that Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills have cured anaemia, rheumatism, erysipelas and other serions diseases of the blond by simply writing to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. Parisian Market Porters. The porters of the. market place in Paris carry, strapped on their backs, great baskets full of garden produce. Often one sees a man with a load of cabbage that is bigger than himself. Value of Private Cars. A few years ago only men of great fortune possessed private cars. Now adays there are so many of these palaces on wheels that their value is estimated at $72,000,000. Symbol of the Cross.

The famous Tugela river, in South Africa, is said on one occasion to Lave risen forty feet during a single night, owing to thunderstorms on the moun tains. Old Mother Nature. Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations. Emerson. Idaho Joins. Fraser, Idaho, Nov. 27th (Special) Mrs. Martha J. Lee has given for pub lication the following statement, con cerning Oodd's Kidney Pills: "I was down with Rheumatism three times." she says, "and each time Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me. The last time they cured me. and now I am able to get around and do all my work, though I am fifty-eight, and I can walk to Suiiday School every Sunday. Before I took Dodd's Kidney Pills I was so bad I could use neither bend nor foot. I shall keep Dodd's Pills on hand all the time." Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove this Acid which collects in the blood and poisons every vein and artery. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Rheumatism by curing the Kidneys; by healing and strengthening them. so that they can rid the blood of all impurities. Valuable Pair of Scissors.
