Gee Word for Bank Clerks.
One new thins proposed at the
bankers' meetings had special refer
ence to bank clerks. The bank clerks
in the country will be pleased to know
that the new thing may go through
before the time Jot next convention,
says Gilsoa WUlets in Leslie's, The
new plan is to admit the bank clerks
association as part of the bankers as
sociation and give all the tellers and
clerks a chance to attend the conven
tions and have a voice in the busi
ness. "And why not?" said a cashier
of a big New York bank, while we
sat with cashiers of other banks
throughout the country. "The paying
teller is, in fact, almost as important
a man in any bank as the cashier. He
can break a bank quicker than any
other one man on the premises. By
dint of faultless memory he holds his
cage. In the five hours of banking, the
paying teller cashes perhaps thou
sands of checks. At a single glance
he must know whether the signature
on a check is genuine. The teller is
also a careful student of the human
face. If he does not know the faces
of his customers as well as the faces
of their checks he may some day crip
ple, if not break, a bank. In the great
banks in the large cities the paying
tellers sometimes have as much .as
five or six millions in their direct
charge. That there are wondrously
few betrayals of trust speaks volumes
for the high average of honesty
among the hundred thousand or more
bank clerks of the country."
Prize Money Won at Last.
Xearly 50 years have elapsed since
Vriah A. Boyden. a Boston engineer,
deposited $1,000 with the trustees of
the Franklin institute to be awarded
as a prize for determining by experi
ment whether all rays of light and
other physical rays are transmitted
with the same velocity. It was not
until this summer that the prize was
won. Mr. Boyden doubted the ac
curacy of the experiments of Baron
von Wrede in 1840, tending to shovf
that light and radiant heat travel at
different rates of speed, and he hoped
. to have the matter established by a
more careful series of tests. Dr. Paul
R. Heyi of the Central high school of
Philadelphia experimented on the lays
of Algol, a variable star in the constel
lation Perseus, and established to his
own satisfaction and to the satisfac
tion of a committee of expert phys
icists that the visible and the ultra
violet rays of the spectrum travel
with the same degree of speed, and
the prize has-been awarded to him.
His paper on the subject was printed
in the Journal of the Franklin insti
tute. The accumulation of the fund
for, nearly &0 years remains, and the
judges in the contest have recom
mended that the sum be set aside as a
prize for similar successful experi
ments regarding the speed of the infra-red
rays.
The German Kaiser Wilbelm is pro
foundly interested in aerial naviga
tion, and after watching the experi
ments with military balloons re
marked: "After what I -have seen to
day, I am hopeful of the future of air
navigation, and firmly believe in fu
ture successes.' His majesty and
others who are taking up the problem
have come to the same conclusion as
that formed 50 years ago by that pio
neer in ballooning, John La Mountain,
who repeatedly expressed the convic
tion that "man would yet learn to fly."
Many other wonderful things have
been brought to pass, and with the
steadily increasing knowledge of sci
ence and natural laws possessed by
the present generation the kaiser
voices the opinion of a growing con
. stituency.
Returns from the target practice of
the warships of the Atlantic fleet have
been received and are regarded by the
naval authorities as satisfactory and
'in some respects remarkable. But the
army men, who have been stirred up
by recent criticisms of naval officers
regarding the looting by the seacoast
artillery, have been keeping tabs and
profess to have seen how the work of
the navy can be improved in various
respects. This is not at all alarming.
On the contrary, it serves to show
that both branches of national defense
are on the alert and that each is try
ing to outdo the other in efficiency.
That sort of generous, friendly and ex
pert rivalry promises the most advan
tageous results to the country.
While other people have been revil
ing the automobile, a thrifty statisti
cian of Connecticut has figured out
that automobilists left more than $2.
000,000 in the state during the past
summer. He thinks, therefore, that
they should be encouraged rather than
repelled.

The State Capital
Matters sf General Interest
: rtoM
Nebraska's Stat sf
Expenditure of Appropriations.
C. C. Hnsted, recorder la the office
of Governor Sheldon, has made a com
pilation of the semi-annual reports of
the state institutions covering a period
from June 1 to November 30. This
Is for one-third of the period for which
the appropriations are madeand only
In a very few instances have one
third of the appropriations been ex
pended, while in nearly every instance
supplies, such as coal and clothing,
have been bought in sufficient quan
tities to last throughout the winter.
The industrial school for boys at
Kearney, with an average of 238 of
ficers and inmates, spent $140.95 per
capita for maintenance, the largest
amount spent in any of the institu
tions. The school for the blind at Ne
braska City is second highest with a
per capita of $137.91 the industrial
home at Milford is third with a per
capita cost of $128.59. This institu
tion has 47 inmates and employes.
The school for the blind has 84 pu
pils and employes. The insane asy
lum at Norfolk, with 316 inmates and
employes, costs $119.70 per capita. The
Home for the Friendless and Ortho
pedic hospital at Lincoln, with 119 in
mates and employes, cost $115.20 per
capita. The Institute for the Feeble
Minded at Beatrice, with 453 Inmates
and employes, was maintained at a
per capita of $137.91, the industrial
in the list of institutions. The insane
asylum at Hastings at the end of the
six months' had $6,038.42 in cash on
deposit with the state treasurer. The
Soldiers' and Sailors' home at Grand
Island had $2,712.05 and the peniten
tiary $1,943.97 in the treasury. The
cash was derived from the sale of pro
ducts and live stock. Other institu
tions' have cash in the treasury rang
ing from $94 to $651.
Express Company Wins First Round.
The supreme court overruled the
motion of the state to strike that por
tion of the answer of the Adams Ex
press comfpany in a suit brought by
the state to enjoin the company from
violating the Sibley act, which al
leges that the Sibley act went into
effect August 5. As the attorney gen
eral filed .suit prior to August 5, the
effect of this ruling of the court may
throw out the state's suit as having
been prematurely filed. The date
when the law actually went into effect
is still before the court and is a vital
point in the case. If the court tlirows
out the state's suit on the ground that
It was filed prematurely the attorney
general can begin a new action in the
state court or he can wait until the
federal court passes upon the matter,
the validity of the law being an issue
in a case now .pending in the federal
court, filed by the express companies.
The case in which the motion was
overruled was remanded from the fed
eral courts to the state court, where
it was originally filed. The Sibley act
reduces rates 25 per cent and has
never been forced.
Title to Soldiers' Home Good.
The title of the state of Nebraska
to a part of the site of the Soldiers'
home at Grand Island, which has been
In dispute for many years, was quieted
in the state by the decision written
by Commissioner Ames in the case of
the State against Isaac R. Walter et
al. The defendants filed a demurrer
to the petition of the state, the de
murrer was overruled and the parties
electing not to plead further, judg
ment is entered for the state as
prayed.
The parties who deeded the land to
the 'state in consideration of the sum
of $1 and the location of the Soldiers
home at Grand Island. April 1, 1887,
have recently claimed to have some
right or interest in the premises ad
Terse to the right of the state, which
has put a cloud upon the state's title.
The last legislature appropriated
money for a new building at the home,
the appropriation to be available only
when the state had obtained quit
claim deeds to the lands in question.
The interested parties refused to sign
quit claim deeds and Attorney General
Thompson filed .a suit in the supreme
court and has perfected the state's
title without the quit claim deeds.
Creamery Service.
The state railway commission adopt
ed a creamery service order. This
will materially change the methods of
handling cream now in vogue. The
traffic to and from Omaha will be prac
tically revolutionized. The service
order given out demands the construe,
tion of a warehouse in Omaha not
less than twenty feet wide and having
not less than 2,000 feet of floor space,
all of which' is to be used for storing
cream and cans, which at all times
must be handled carefully. ,
Changes in Rates.
The railway commission has grant
ed permission to the Burlington to
revise its passenger rates by reason
of increase in its mileage caused by
the new line from Milford. The in
creased mileage will make as increase
in the fare from various towns of
from 6 to 22 cents to places east of
Milford. The Burlington and the
Union Pacific were given permission
to reduce the rate on windmills and
pumps from Fairbury to Fremont from
17 to 13 cents. The Commercial club
at Fairbury wanted reduced rates.
Treasurers Refuse Checks.
It is .reported the railroads have
had a hard time paying their taxes,
inasmuch as in some instances the
county treasurers have refused to take
checks in payment for taxes. In Ham
ilton county It is reported the Bur
lington tendered the treasurer a check
for that road's taxes and it ' was
promptly turned down. The treas
urer wanted the cash. So far the
railroad company has not sent the
cash and as a consequence the county
is ont the money and the railroad
company is being charged interest.
Searle an Insurance Matters.
"I approved the, plan and I tidal
approve it," declared State Auditot
Searle when questioned in regard to
the rumor that he approved without
the knowledge of Insurance Deputy
Pierce a plan to change the Bankers
Reserve Life, a mutual insurance com
pany of Omaha, into a stock company.
"This department cannot pass upon
such a plan until after it is completed
and put up to us. That will be done
at the annual meeting, January 15."
When asked If a majority of the
stockholders can change a mutual
company to a stock company, or if un
animous consent was necessary, Mr.
Searle stated that the statutes would
be obeyed, and that that question
should be asked of the attorney gen
eral. The policyholders of the Bankers Re
serve are bitterly opposing the scheme
and declare that it is a plan of the
officers to get entire control of the
company by securing a majority of the
stock. The company has $100,000, kip
posedly for the protection of the
policyholders, on deposit with the
state. This will have to be palled
down if the company is stocked.
Net Weight Ruling Stands.
Until a court order changes condi
tions Nebraska food products put up
in package form must be branded with
net weight and measure of contents.
An opinion was given by Attorney
General W. T. Thompson to Governor
Sheldon, embodying this view and it
will be followed by the food commis
sioner. It will make no change in his
position, for his interpretation of the
law is upheld in every respect by the
legal department of the state. Gov
ernor Sheldon asked the attorney
general the meaning of the pure food
law with respect to branding pack
ages. In his letter the governor men
tioned the belief of the executive de
partment and asked if this was cor
rect The attorney general says it is.
and in a lenthy opinion, details his
reasons. He says the interpretation
is in line with the holdings of the
court And while it is more strict
than the federal pure food law, the
state legislature evidently regarded
the national law too lax and made the
provisions purposely.
The Standard's Assessment
County Asessor Miller recently vis
ited Omaha to get some information
concerning the Standard Oil com
pany's assessment in Omaha, to learn
whether the franchise had been as
sessed in that county, and to get ome
idea of what sort of a return this com
pany had made in that city. The cor
poration claims that its main offices
are at Omaha and that if it has to pay
franchise tax or has to pay taxes on
its book accounts it must be in the
county where its principal office? are
located. Mr. Miller found there that
no book accounts had been listed and
there was something like 200,000 gal
lons of oil on hand that ought to have
been listed for taxation also. The com
pany was assessed for $100,000 in
Omaha, after having turned in a sched
ule showing $57,800. After the state
board had got done with the assess
ment it had grown from $100,000.
placed by Assessor Reed, to $113,390.
Work of Accountant.
When the board of purchase and
supplies meets in January it will
have a state accountant to assist in
buying goods and looking after the
interests of the state. The law under
which E. B. Fairfield was appointed
provides that in addition to examining
the vouchers, books and accounts of
the various state officers, the univer
sity and state institutions, he shall
also assist the state board of purchase
and supplies. The accountant is to
work under the direction of the state
auditor and make reports to both
auditor and governor.
Currency and Parcels Post.
In order to get data to send to the
Nebraska delegation in congress
Secretary Whitten has been sending
out, postal cards asking for the opin
ion of Lincoln business men on the
parcels post, the postal savings bank
federal guarantee of deposits of na
tional banks and asset currency.
Hughes Cannot Come.
Governor Hughes of New York, who
was invited to be the principal speak
er at the banquet of the Lincoln
Young Men's Republican club Feb
ruary 12, sent notice that he had
previously accepted an invitation to
speak on that date at Brooklyn, N. Y.
Dr Giffen Appointed.
Dr. R. E. Giffln has been appointed
physician for the state penitentiary
in place of Dr. E. L. Holyoke, whose
term has expired. Dr. Giffen has for
years been the physician in Governor
Sheldon's family. The compensation
is $100 a month.
Governor Honors Requisition.
Governor Sheldon honored the
requisition of Governor Deneen of Illi
nois for the return to Urbaua, 111., of
Claude Freeman, now under arrest at
Omaha. Freeman is accused of a
statutory offense.
Reese to Sit with Court.
The supreme court has requested
M. B. Reese, judge-elect, to sit with
it January 7 and' 8 to hear arguments
so that he will be able to pass on
cases submitted at that time. Chief
Justice Sedgwick retires from the
bench January 9 and he is to be suc
ceeded by Judge Reese. Judge Barne3
becomes chief justice, being the o'd
est member in point of sefvice on the
bench. He will preside over the court
for the next two years. The next old
est judge on length of service sus at
the right of the ch!ef justice.
Contest Before Irrigation Board.
The question of the jurisdiction of
the state board of irrigation to enter
tain a contest filed by H. G. Stewart
against the Tri-State Land company
was taken under advisement after ar
guments had been made to the board
by W. A. Dilworth and F. A. Wright,
attorneys for the land company, and
R. M. Hobart for the tontestants.
Briefs are to be filed by both sides.
Mr. Stewart alleges that the Tri-State
Land company abandoned some of its
irrigation rights and he has applied
for these abandoned rights.

(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Copyright, 1906. by Joseph B. Bowles.l
(Mrs. Jeanie Gould Lincoln, widow of
the late eminent surgeon. Dr. X. S. Lin
coln, is well known in literary circles in
Washington, where she is also prominent
in society. Her first book. "Marjorle's
Quest," brought her Into public notice
years ago. A later book. "Her Wash
ington Season," was one of the first writ
ten in the now popular diary style. Her
more recent books. "A Genuine Girl"
and "An Unwilling Maid," were received
with favor by the public. Of her verses
which have been set to music the best
known is "Tender and True.")
At the opening of the twentieth cen
tury, realizing the wonderful strides
that progress and enlightenment have
made, perhaps there is none more
gratifying than the increased and far
reaching influence attained by women.
Who, when the nineteenth century
was yet in its infancy, would have
been bold enough to predict to our
grandmothers, whose stately heads
still wore turbans and whose erect
figures scorned even the support of a
high-backed and most uncomfortable
chair, that their descendants would
don automobile caps, lounge even In
a drawing room, become active pro
moters of clubs and other female or
ganizations, even cast ballot at the
polls and be elected to public offices?
No doubt the dear old dames would
have shuddered at such pronounced
advancement; but "extremes touch,"
and never more easily than in the de
lightful being known as the up-to-date
woman.
What a boon to many have been the
clubs, from the modest societies of the
working girls in our great cities to
the genealogical clubs the Daughters
of the American Revolution, the Co
lonial Dames and the Holland society!
These wonderfully successful organi
zations have conclusively proved that
women are competent to direct public
work, and to go hand in band with
men in the honor roll of progress.
But with this infinite number of
clubs, historical and genealogical,
there appears to be none combining
the political and social in a manner
which if properly inaugurated might
show that the twentieth century is
still a measure in advance of the nine
teenth and include among the active
workers those whom the world at
large is somewhat prone to regard as
the drones of the human beehive.
There is a very large class of
women in the United States who from
environment, traditions and certain
shrinking from the publicity attendant
upon female suffrage are debarred
from showing the interest they take
in politics and from putting tbat inter
est and energy into practical use.
Taken in the proper form it would
seem a possible task to develop that
latent force and to make it of consid
erable service to our Republican gov
ernment by forming a woman's league,
which might be called unless sotne
bright woman suggest a better title
the League of the Golden Rod.
Twenty-five years since in England
a few members of the conservative
party, desiring to add to its strength
and influence, proposed such a plan,
'and out of compliment and in memory
of the late earl of Beaconsfield the
present powerful and able Primrose
league was named for its favorite
flower. The first movers In the form
ing of this political organization were
Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill
and Sir Henry Wolfe, ambassador to
Madrid. Possibly the quick wit of the
American woman was the germ which
appealed to the enthusiasm of her
British sisters. The dames of the
Primrose league, which began In a
small circle of London drawing rooms,
now number their thousands and are
found in "habitations" the Snglish
synonym for our American chapters
all over the "tight little island."
As woman's influence is supposed to
purify and ennoble the ballot, a 'great
power for good government jnight be
evolved from an organization whose
center should be in our capital city,
where, although we have no suffrage,
its principal officers could administer
with fearlessness and ability. Its
ofcief should be the wife of the presi
dent, ex officio, and of each succeed
LINCOLN.
ing republican president, with regents
and vice-regents in Washington, and
in the states where the league 'may be
established. The ' yearly dues and
membership fees would form a fund
which could easily be added to by sub
scriptions, when needed, and the only
pledge required of the members of the
league would be that by their personal
exertion they procure, outside of their
own family connection, one or two
votes at most to be, cast at the gen
eral elections for the Republican party.
The question of a national flower
has been a matter of discussion for a
long time, but "the golden rod grows in
every state of the Union, and as its
color suggests "sound money" what
better emblem could be found for the
party which has taken that issue as
a part of its political taltli? With the
general election every four years, with
no prime minister whose tenure ex
tends indefinitely, we lose the pretty
custom which obtains in England,
where "Primrose day" is celebrated
by wearing primroses and by decking
Beaconsiield's grave with the bright
eyed flower of spring. That, no doubt,
would save the woman who may
choose to inaugurate a league such as
described the reproach of the Anglo
phobists that we are becoming un
American, and even that awful thing,
imperial, by sharing the old honor
with old England of maintaining a
floral and political society.
CUPID IN THE CORNER.
One Instance in Which His Dart
Failed in Its Purpose.
When people first saw Nathaniel
Seaforth they nearly always exclaim
ed: "What a dear old gentleman!"
When they knew him better, they
generally added: "But a bit too fond
of interfering."
For Mr. Seaforth was the sort of
man who prided himself on "taking
an intelligent interest" in other folks'
affairs.
Now. of all things, he "loved" a
love affair. He invariably scented it
afar off, and did his best to help it
along. One day he was comfortably
esconced in an electric car when two
young people entered a girl awd a
man. There were only two vacant
seats, and they, alas, were on oppo
site sides of the car, and at different
ends.
The young people seated themselves
in these, but immediately Mr. Sea
forth, with a benign smile, rose cum
brously, and gripping each successive
strap in hazardous fashion, left his
seat, which was next the young wom
an, and accosted the astonished young
man at the other end of the car.
"Take my seat," he said, in the
voice of one who would add, "and my
blessing, too." The young, man obedi
ently stumbled to the other end of
the car.
The eyes of the whole company
were riveted in sympathetic interest
on the blushing couple now reunited,
and Mr. Seaforth chuckled into bis
venerable beard as be said to his
neighbor:
"I don't like sweethearts to be sep
arated. I was young once, myself."
"Fares, please!"
The conductor approached, the
young woman dived into her purse and
paid for herself, while the young man
paid his nickel?
Had they quarreled?
The company were more interested
than ever. The young man hastily
the girl in stony silence. At last an in
got out at the next corner, passing
quisitive but kindly disposed old lady,
who could no longer restrain her curi
osity, turned to the girl:
"Why don't you kiss and be friends,
my dear?"
"I've never seen the young man be
fore," was the frigid reply: and, fol
lowing the direction of her angry
glance, the entire company gazed in
silent condemnation at the would-be
Cupid in the far corner. Chicago
Tribune.
Why He Was Happy.
"Ever quarrel with you wife?" in
quired Klacker, of an acquaintance.
"No."
"Have any trouble with your serv
ants?" "No."
"Children worry you?"
"No."
"Great Caesar, man! how's that?"
"Ain't married: live by myself."
Question for Question.
"Why do women insist on going to
matinees for the sake of crying?" he
inquired, impatiently. "Haven't they
enough trouble of their own?"
"I don't know," replied she; "why
do men Insist on getting into a poker
game merely for the sake of experi
encing a new kind of financial wor
ry ?" Washington Star.

"Not a bit, was the answer. "They

every morning, when my neighbor was
looking, I went ont and brought them

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE..
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
Cutkwra Remedies Cured at Cost
ef eventy-Five Cents. -
"My little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
Itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day'or night,
and a light dress is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus
band said he believed he would have
to die. I had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to- try the
Cnticura Remedies. I used the Cuti
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day I commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost 75c. and I
would have gladly paid $100 if I could
not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City.

It was difficult to hire competent or

"Harold." said Mrs. Crandall, "I
haven't seen anything of that man
who was to mow our lawn. Where do
you suppose he is? There, I believe
that's he now, over in Meade's orch
ard." "Is he standing?" inquired Mr. Cran
dall. "Yes." said his wife, "he's standing
under one of the big trees looking
toward our house."
"That can't be the man." said Mr.
Crandall. "He'd be sitting or lying
down."
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that tbe
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
