Cleric Ollleaa.Thrsiifhswt Nebraska
New in Effect.
JThe last of the bills la his hands
were disposed of by Governor Shal
lenberger last week. Beside tha twa
general bills which he vetoed,- he
signed eight remaining, vetoing; out
of the maintenance appropriation bill
Items totaling $73,000.
These Included two duplicate appro
priations for experiment stations .to
the western portion of the state
which are provided for in special ap
propriation bills already signed. The
principal-veto made was. that of two
items providing a total appropriation
of $40,000 for the proposed state his
torical society building at Lincoln.
The total appropriations for the
coming biennium will amount to $3,
907,023.14, an increase over those of
the past biennium of about $400,000.
j.ui8 is less wan we esumatea ex
penses of the state as tabulated by the
state auditor by $1,300,000, and Is
within the estimated receipts of the
state for the biennium by at least
$2,500,000.
The estimated receipts have been
placed at $6,654,000 in round num
bers, and the present legislature has
enacted laws which will bring in
revenue to the state in various
amounts to total at least $250,000!
The King bill for levying an .occu
pation against corporations will bring
in upwards of $150,000. The additional
bank examinations required under the
basking law will dpuble the fees from
that source. The new oil insnection
bill increases those fees. Another
large source of revenue ie contained
in the bill creating a state fire com
mission, which provides for a tax of
one-half of 1 per cent 6n the gross
premiums of fire insurance companies.
Putting' the clerk of the supreme
court and the Tibbets bill providing
for an increased fee from foreign cor
porations which maintain resident
agents, bring in still more revenue.
Of 'the increases shown in the ap
propriations this year the necessary
additional salaries for judges of the
supreme court, the additional amount
given the university and the money
expended in nermal schools and for
additional equipment at. the present
normals, together with the extra ap
propriations for aid to weak school
districts and normal training In high
schools, make up more than the in
crease over two years ago.
In vetoing the $40,000 provision for
a state historical society building the
governor said:
"I think there are two good reasons
for not signing it One is that the
state is much more in need of a new
capltol than of such a building as the
one contemplated. The other is that
I do not consider it good business to
attempt the construction of a $600,
000 building with small appropriations
like $25,000. The present capitol, I
am informed," cost between $300,000
and 8400,000,- and the historical build
ing is designed '.to cost nearly twice
as much. In my opinion it would be
better to put the money into a wing
of a new capitol."

and Mrs. Brown started to speak of
their respective duties, and soon an
argument as to whether the husband
or toe wife had the hardest work to
perform was In fall swing. First
Brown warbled, and then wifey sang.
"A wife," argued the good lady, "has
to cook, wash dishes, clothe the kids,
scrub the floors, sweep the house,
make the. beds, build the fires, carry
up coal, nail slats on the back fence,
dig "
"Is that alir sarcastically Inter
rupted Mr. Brown.
"No," was the prompt rejoinder of
Mrs. Brown. "In addition to those du
ties every wife has to keep her hus
band from making a fool of himself?"

TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR
Seemed Imminent--Scalp Was Very
Scaly and Hair Came Out by Hand
fule Scalp Now Clear and
New Hair Grown by Cuticura.
"About two years ago I was troubled
with my head being scaly. Shortly
after that I had an attack of typhoid
fever and I was out of the hospital
possibly two. months when I first no
ticed the loss of hair, my scalp being
still scaly. I started to use dandruff
cures to no effect whatever. I had
actually lost hope of saving any hair
at all. I could brush it off my coat
by the handful. I was afraid to comb
it. But after using two cakes of Cuti
cura Soap and nearly n box of Cuti
cura Ointment the change was sur
prising. My scalp Is now clear and
.healthy as could be and my hair thick
er than ever, whereas I had my mind
made up to be bald. W. F. Steese. 5812

Artificial Wants.
Many a one, for the sake of finery
en the back, has gone with a hungry
belly and half-starved their families.
"Silk and satin, scarlet and velvets,"
as Poor Richard says, "net out the
kitchen fire." These are not the nec
essaries of life; they can scarcely be
called the conveniences; and yet only
because they look pretty, how many
want to have them! The artificial
wants of mankind thus become more
numerous than the natural; and a

Laundry work at home would bo
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 aad fineness of the fabric in
hidden behind a paste of 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

Signs Pure Food .Law.
After consulting with the attorney
general as to its provisions, the gover
nor finally signed house roll 486,
which amends the present pure food
law in the matter of stamping net
weights. The governor had hoped
that an opinion of the supreme court
wonld be. handed down in the Swift
case with reference to the branding
provision of the. law of two years ago,
but this' may 'not come for another
two weeks.
The chief point involved in that
case from the starlpoint of the pack
ers was the question as to whether
their hams, wrapped in papers, could
properly be designated packages. If
the decision hinges on this point
alone, litle light would be thrown upon
the mooted question with reference to
the law itself.
The governor is not at -all satisfied
with'' the provisions of the new law. He
said that so far as he could see they
were just about as ambiguous as the
statute for which .'they are. substituted.
His Record.
"Colonel," asked the beautiful girl.
"did you ever ride a horse 90 miles in
three days?"
"No,; replied the veteran of two
wars, "but I once ran 20 miles in abont
30 miButes. which I think was going
someconsiderlng the fact that the un
derbrush was thick and I was in so
muck of a hurry that I forgot to throw
away a knapsack that weighed nearly
50 pounds."
"See here, kid. If I ever catches yon
cryin like dat big booby here, I'll dis
own you and cut you off without a
penny. See!"
Caught on the Rebound.
The old man was lecturing his more
or iss wayward son on the evils of
getting up late in the morning.
"Remember." he said, "that it was
the early bird that caught the worm.
"But how about the worm, dad?"
queried the youth, who thought he had
his sire up In the air. "Where did bin
reward for getting up early come in?"
"1 am informed." replied " the old
man. gravely, "that the worm was on
his way homohadn't been in bed at
all."
And there being nothing more to
any, the young man said nothing.
First Municipal Bonds for State.
State Treasurer Brian contracted
for his first municipal bonds as an in
vestment for the permanent school
fund. The bonds were issued by the
city of -Albion-for the. erection of a
city hall and for the construction of
an electric light system and amount
ed to $18,000. They will net the state
4- per cent interest. The bonds are
optional at the end of the year. They
ire considered a good investment for
state money.
Couldnt Cenvince the Judge.
"I have, heard of the soul kiss and
kisses of other kinds, but I never heard
of a man biting his wife as an evidence
of his affection for her." remarked Jus
tice O'Neill of Baltimore. Md.. when
George Phoebus, aged 27, of East Bal
timore street, endeavored to explain
the biting of his wife, for which of
fense8he had him, arrested. Mrs.
Phoebus said' her husband deliberate
ly bit her on the ( Cheek, and. though
the pain was excruciating, he said that
It was a "love bite." The justice fined
him five dollars and gave him ten days
la Jail.

' When George Ade was coming from
New Orleans last winter he noticed,'
among the race-track men on the train,

And he furthermore testifies and af

in the morning, discovered' that the

State Guarantees No Insurance.
Auditor Barton is shortly to issue
a ruling from his office that no insur
ance company may sell a policy in
Nebraska upon which is stamped that
it is guaranteed by the state. It is
the practice of some companies, 'the
auditor said, to tell prospective pur
chasers of insurance that their pol
icies are backed up by the state,
which is not a fact and to prove it
they 'show' the seal of the auditor that
the company has on deposit securities
to the amount of $100,000, or. what
ever the amount is on deposit

"Grape-Xuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks in which the stomach is so de
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.

it would save many lives that are oth
erwise lost from lack of nourishment"
Absolutely the. most perfect food in
