WILL BE MUCH DISCUSSION Expected to 'Overshadow All Other Gatherings, Rivaling Adoption of Federal Constitution. Washington History will be made at this week's white bouse conference on natural resources, unless all signs fail. For history making the condi tion's are remarkably favorable. Never before has a president of the United States conferred with all the gov ernors of the states. Never before has the white house, with its long record of social and state functions, sheltered a large convention called for the con sideration of a great public issue. And never before has the whole broad question of the conservation of this country's natural resources been brought before a great deliberative body as the sole subject of its con sideration. The reception accorded this project indicates that the people of the coun try expect definite results of a far reaching character. But no cut-and-dried program will be presented for the consideration of the governors and delegates. After hearing from experts the condition which the country is fac ing the members of the conference will themselves decide whether any thing ought to be dene, and what. Some have "suggested the advisability of forming a great national organiza tion to carry forward the plans ori ginated in the conference. The prob ability is that at the least some basis will be laid for future co-operation be-j tween the federal and state Sgovern ments in a vigorous policy of con servation, for one of the' things which will be shown most forcibly at the conference is that neither the states nor the federal government can make satisfactory headway independently. The present situation is much the same as was faced just before the adoption of the federal constitution, and the more enthusiastic believe that the coming conference will have just a far-reaching results, and become quite as historic, as those meetings which led up to the formation of the constitution. They recall that the whole question of a constitution had its direct origin in a meeting promoted by George Washington fcr the consid eration of the control and develop ment of the Potomac. That confer ence met at Alexandria in 1785 and consisted of representatives from Vir ginia and Maryland. But it was de cided that the questions involved were too extensive for two states to handle, and so another conference was called to meet at Annapolis in I78fi More of the states were represented here, but still not enough. And so the third cqnference was called to meet the fol lowing year in Philadelphia. This con ference, at which all of the atates were represented, developed into the con stitutional convention and became the most important meeting in American history. SUPPLY BILLS NEARLY READY.

THE STATE CAPITAL ,-- MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL . CITIZENS. COUNTY ASSESSORS REPORTS Some Fail-to Place Any Value on Real Estate of Railroads, as Law Requires. - Trouble With Assessment Reports from the county assessors are still coming Into the oflice of the secretary of the State Board- of As sessment, showing the. valuation of railroad property located In cities and villages subject to taxation under the provisions of the terminal tax law. The tabulation of the returns is at most te dious job, for the reason that a print ing establishment sold to county as sessors blanks upon which to make their returns which do not conform to the blanks sent out by the secretary of the board. This causes considerable trouble and much vexation. Many of the assessors have failed to put a value on railroad real estate, probably because in the report of the railroads to the assessors. Save in the case of the Union Pacific, the value was not given. In the past it has been' customary for the tax commissioner -of the rail road to sign the repoVts to the State Board of Assessors, but in"the case of the Northwestern this year Marvin Hughitt, president of the road. has signed the reports. The increase in the value of the Northwestern proper ty as shown in the report, Is said by an official of the road to be due to the fact that the property was valued at just what it would cost to reproduce it. No account was taken of the wear and tear on the property, notwith standing it may have been built many years ago and not kept in good repair. Other railroad men say this action of the Northwestern has caused them considerable grief, because assessors in some cases have wanted to in crease their property in proportion to the increase of the Northwestern. Spanish War Veteran's Reunion. Major E. H. Phelps, secretary of the Spanish War Veterans, has issued the following: It has been decided to hold a reunion of Spanish War Veterans in Lincoln on Thursday, June 4.

Suit Against Policyholders. Frank C. Burke, receiver of the de funct Mutual Hail insurance society of Nebraska, has began suit for $30,000 against the 350 policyholders of the company. The assessment, which Burke some time ago secured an or der from the court to levy, amounted to $1.25 for every acre of land which the policyholder had Insured at the time of the failure. The failure of the society was due to the unusually heavy losses from hail during the spring of 1907. The individual liability of the policyholders varies from $20 to $350. About 20,000 acres of land were cov ered by the policies of the society and twenty-three Nebraska counties were represented. The actual liabilities of the company, says Receiver Burke, are not more than $14,000, but the cost of winding up the affairs of the company will be large. Brief in Pass Case.

Really Able Argument Put Forward by Accused Sailor. A very good story has recently been told in the fleet of an .incident which happened when Admiral Evans was in command of the Indiana. An old-time bluejacket was"3 at the mast before Capt. Evans, charged with getting food out of a mess chest outside of meal hours. This getting of food for night watches is a common and strong desire on the part of most men aboard ship. Capt. Evans asked the man what he had to say; and the man, sizing up the delicate situation, said: "Captain. I didn't take no food outer that chest. Why, captain, there weren't no food in that chest! I looked in that chest, and, captain, I met a cockroach coming out of that chest with tears in his eyes." Har pers weekly. A New Definition.

" There has never been any difficulty about securing Mrs. Homer Clay Washington of Maple court, when one more woman was" needed for wash ing or scrubbing; so that when two postal cards failed to bring her to the Morse residence one winter Mrs. Morse went to see what could be the trouble says a writer in tae Youth's Companion. She found Mrs. Washington evi dently in the best of health, entertain ing two of her neighbors, and was wel comed most cordially. "I suttlnly is pow'ful glad to see yo Mis Morse," said the hostess, "an Is de fambly all tol'able well?" "Not as well as we should be if you had come to help us out," said Mrs. Morse. "Why didn't you come when I wrote you? We thought you must be ill." "No. Indeed, Mis Morse," and tho black head tilled airily: "I's enjoying de best ob health, an de char'ty so ciety done 'stablish a bread, soup an coal fund up in de corner, so none of us ladies in de co't has to work dis rheumaticky time ob yeah. "You heah folks talkin 'bout de harm society does, but us ladies ob Maple Co't is right ready to stan' up fo it any time now." 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 the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste o'f varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Bees in Block of Stone. .While workmen were sawing through a block of Bath stone at Exeter. Ens-, land, they cut into a cavity in which was found a cluster of two or three dozen live bees. The incident occurred at the works of Messrs. Collard & Sons, monu mental sculptors. There was not much sign of life in the bees at first, but. when air was admitted they gradually revived and after a few hours several of them were able to fly. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great Im portance. Defiance Starch, being free from all Injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen er makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the ' goods were new. A Kansas Girl's Advice. A Lincoln county girl writes this ad- -vice to the Kansas. City Star: "Why do young men do so much loafing? Go to work. Push ahead! I am but a young girl, but I clothe myself and have money in the bank. I lay up more money every year than any young man within throe miles of my ' home. When they get a dollar they go to a dance and go home a dollar out. I advise all girls to cut clear of loafing boys. Stand by the boy who works, and never put j-our arm through the handle of a jug." Hanging Scaffolds. 'With the modern skyscraping office building has come a new form of building scaffold.
