As to Dipsomaniac Law.
LINCOLN Ah effort is being made

the LfBCola. hospital for the insane,
to Ind out Jast how much, benefit the
4UBeoraanlac law passed-at the session J
4K the leglslatare two yean ago has
-roved. Dr. Hay bias sent' out in

Dr. Kay declares it to be his firm
belief that in most of the cases In
which the treatment has been proved
to be of but transient benefit, the fault
Is mainly to the mistaken zeal of the

as the liqaor or drag has been entirely
withdrawn from the patient and he is
kegtanlag to exist in comparative
peace withoat It his friends begin to
clamor to have him sent home. This,
Dr. Hay says. Is a serious mistake. He
believes that patients in the dipso
saaniar ward -should be kept la the
hospital for at least a year after the
U(nor or drag they crave has been
entirely withdrawn from them. - In
that time the weakened power of the
patient wll have a chance to reassert

v War on Cash Funds;
LINCOLN If Governor Mickey does
not make war in cash faads which
have been created at state Institutions
without color of law.- it is believed
Governor Sheldon may have some
thing to say to -the .legislature In his
inaugural message. Fifteen years ago
a cash fund at a state institution was
the exception. Now nearly every in
stitution has from a few hundred dol
lars to $6,000 or $8,000 in cash which
it is said ought to be in the state
treasury. The money is. derived from
the sale of state property, but instead
of depositing the money in the state
treasury, the heads of state institu
tions "retain itr and spend it to suit
themselves. There is no authority of
law for the creation of such funds.
The practice has grown up by per
mission of governors and boards of
public lands and buildings. Either the
governor who appoints heads of state
institutions, or the board of public
tends and buildings which passes on
the expenditures of such appointees,
can stop the practice. Both author
ities have given tacit consent to the
practice and it Is assuming consider
able proportions.
Fight on thevAmendment.
tt Is reported here, says a Lincoln
dispatch, that the railroads Intend to
fight the amendment to the. constita
tlca providing for a railway commis
sion by going Into court at an early
date. ...The report Is that the railroads
will enjoin the canvass-of the vote on
the ameadmeat by the leglslatare aad
endeavor. to stop proceedings right at
the- start The suit will be based, if
It Is brought. It is said, on the theory
that It is illegal to adopt a constitu
tional amendment by counting for
the amendment every straight party
vote cast when, the party has endorsed
the amendment in Its state convention.
Horse Thieves Are Active.

No Passes to Land Agents.
OMAHA The power of the inter
state commerce commission to change
conditions in an. entire community by
an enforcement of the new law was
brought out forcibly Saturday, when
the Union Pacific railroad decided,
upon advice of the legal department,
to recall all passes issued to land
agents immediately. Representatives
of the passenger departments of all
western roads met with the commis
sion a week ago Friday in Washing
ton, and on a complaint of the Illinois
Central to test the commission on
that subject the commission, while
not making a ruling, conveyed the Idea
and expressed the sentiment inform-'
ally that the granting of free trans
portation to land agents was unlaw
ful. Genit Fort, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific, re
turned from the east Saturday, and in
regard to the question of land agents
said:
"The passenger department of the
Union Pacific has consulted with the
legal department and -has decided im
mediately to annul' the passes of land
agents. We are telegraphing to all
we can reach today and will stop all
as. soon as we can get to them. We
consider it unfortunate the commis
sion took this view of the matter, as
the stoppage of free transportation
will have a tendency to retard prog
ress In western Nebraska, which nev
er had better prospects than at pres
eat We had several hundred agents
who worked nt this work exclusively."
School Lands Are Leased.
LINCOLN Never before have the
lessees of school lands cornered the

lands are not under lease. Ten acres

made up of 'small 'tracts in different
parts of the state.

GRAPE JUICE. While grapes are
at their cheapest it pays to put up
plenty of grape juice for home con
sumption. There, is no beverage,
more refreshing or wholesome in ill
ness than the unfermeated juice of
the grape, while in hot' weather it Is
one of the most cooling of drinks. Put
up at home, a pint bottle costs scarce
four cents, while the lowest price at
the drug store is 23 cents. To pre
pare the grape juice cut the bunches
of grapes n little, trimming off super
fluous stems and taking out the un
sound berries. Put in n granite ware
or porcelain-lined kettle, covering
with water for- two or three inches.
The proportion of water is about three
quarts to 18 pounds of fruit Cook,
until the grapes burst; and the juice- '
exudes, crushing ocasioaaliy with n
wooden spoon. Put a colander over a
large jar. and cover with a square of
cheesecloth. Turn fruit and juice
into this, drain, measure and return
to a clean preserving kettle. Let it
come to a boil aad skim. Now add
sugar to taste (a half cup to each
quart is a good proportion), stir un
til dissolved, then cook five min
utes, skimming carefully. Have ready
cans or bottles sterilized and heated
in -pans of boiling water. Fill with
the hot juice, then seal. If bottles
are employed be sure the corks are
sterilized as well as the bottles them
selves. The most convenient bottles
to use are the self-scaling pop or beer
bottles. Keep in a cool, dark place.
If preferred, the grapes may be
cooked without water, then diluted
when ready to drink.

ceived from Paris demonstrates the
overskirt vogue. It is made with
three bias ruffles around the bottom
of the full petticoat Over this, in nin
cloth of the same shade, are draped
two deep points, one back and the
other front, the points falling to the
bottom of the skirt, the drapery nt one
side going halt way te the knees be
fore it slopes away to the back and
front. With the approach of winter it
is prayed that the overskirt may be
hauled ia and a mere simple effect
prevail.
