It costs for life Insurance just as
it does for other things, for groceries
or clothing. Because a man is not
dead at the end of the first, third or
tenth year does- not signify that thevj
company is ahead the premiums paid
it. Some have died during these years
and it has taken a part of the pre
miums paid by those still living to
pay the death claims. No one who,
dies in the' first few years his policy
is in force has paid the company any
thing like the' amount it pays his
beneficiaries. That will be apparent
to all on reflection. Life insurance
companies are great equalizers. They
collect small sums from many and pay

PAPERS ARE FAULTY
VARIOUS IRREGULARITIES IN OB
TAINING NATURALIZATION.
ACTION OF FEDERAL AHORNEY
Act of Last Legislature for Resurvey
f" Lilies in Dundy County
Must Walt.
Because of various irregularities in
obtaining naturalization papers, six
teen Nebraska residents of different
nationalities will probably have to go
through the process of being made
citizens a second time. Papers have
been completed in the office of United
States Attorney A. W. Lane for filing
in the federal court attacking the
validity of their certificates. Most of
those whose citizenship is thus called
into question live at Omaha and
South Omaha, but others are scattered
over the state. The list includes Ger
mans, Bohemians, Scandinavians,
Italians, an Irishman or two and oth
ers of miscellaneous nativity.
The suits to have the decrees of
naturalization set aside will be com
menced in the districts where the
persons respectively live. Only two
of the number will be filed in the
Lircoln division. In some cases it
will be alleged that the individual was
naturalized illegally before he had
Deen in this country five years. An
other ground will be that some of
them were more than 18 years old on
arriving in this country and did not
make a formal declaration of their in
tention to become citizens, which is
required of all except those coming
here as minors. In one or two in
stances the claim will be made that
the certificate is defective because
witnesses for the person naturalized
were not themselves citizens.
Dundy Survey Must Wait
Notwithstanding a petition from
Dundy county landowners the state
land commissioner will not carry out
the provisions of the act of the last
legislature for a resurvey of a north
and south line through Dundy county
until the government is given an op
portunity to comply with an act of
congress introduced by Congressman
Norris. By a little more delay the
county of Dundy may get a more ex
tensive resurvey from the general
government and the state may be
able to save the funds appropriated
by the legislature for a lesser resur
vey. The act of congress calls for a re
survey of the disputed line and also
a resurvey of several townships in
Dundy county. Congressman Norris
thought he was doing a favor to the
people of Dundy county when he got
this act passed and he is much sur
prised now to find that many resi
dents of the townships interested
have signed a petition to proceed with
the proposed state resurvey of the
north and south line. He thinks the
people interested do not fully under
stand the situation or they would not
have signed the petition to proceed
with the proposed state resurvey of
only one line. The legislature ap
propriated $525 to resurvey one line.
This amount will not be sufficient to
pay for the work.
xAbout Bank Assessments.
In reply to a recent inquiry Henry
Seymour, secretary of the state board
of assessment and equalization, has
written the following statement of
how state, national and savings banks
are assessed:
"State, national and savings banks,
domestic and foreign, are assessed
upon the value of their capital stock,
and taxes are levied upon a per cent
basis, the same as all other property
in this state is taxed. The value of
the stock is found by taking the mar
ket value of the same, together with
the surplus and undivided profits,
from which is deducted the real es
tate and other tangible property of
the bank, which is assessed separate
ly. The names of the stockholders
and the amount owned by each are
listed by the bank, but the tax is
levied against and paid by the bank.
Trust companies are assessed the
same, as banks. Building and loan
associations are assessed only on
their real estate, but the shares of
the stock in the same are held to be
credits and are assessed to the own
ers and the members of the associa
tion. Deposits in savings banks as
well as all other banks are listed
and assessed to the depositors. The
rate of taxation varies in the several
taxing districts of the state because
of difference in the amount of the
levy for local taxation."
Irrigation Exposition Coming.
A good share of the United States
Land and Irrigation exposition,
which is to be held in Chicago No
vember 20 to December 4, will be
on 'exhibition at the National Corn
exposition which opens in Omaha
December 6.
Pure Food Prosecutions.
Although the immediate victims of
prosecution are eighteen local butch
ers, the packing interests in Nebraska
are attacked directly in prosecutions
brought by Deputy Food Commission
er Mains on charges of misbranding
lard, cottblene and other substitutes
for lard. The prosecutions are
brought under a section of the pure
food act It is believed that the
eighteen defendants will obtain an
attorney who will attack the consti
tutionality of the law as i t stands to-
day.
Testing Rights of Clubs.
Argument in the Gibson case was
heard by the supreme court The
suit involves the right of a club to
dispense intoxicating liquors to its
members in the face of a ruling by
the Lincoln excise board against the
practice. As the suit involves all of
the principles of law bearing on clubs
that dispense liquors as an incident
to 'such organizations, the decision in
the suit may decide the future action
of all clubs in Lincoln and other
towns or cities where the licensing
boards refuse to issue licenses.
HISTORIC KANSAS STRUCTURE
Building Where Bluejacket, Noted
Shawnee Chief, Was Schoeled,

Kansas City. There were three de?
nominational missions among the
Shawnee Indians, all situated in John

Baptist and the Quaker. The Society
of Friends, or Quakers, established
their mission in 1S24, but the building
now in existence was not erected, un
til 1844. It is about one mile east of
the town of Mcrriam. on the farm
now owned by Mrs. Emily Loomis.
This mission usually schooled about

i
in godliness, which was a very good
scrubbing, and a little red precipitate
'on the scalp, to supplement the use of
a fine-tooth comb; then he was fur
nished with a new suit of clothes and
taught how to put them on and off.
They all emerged from this ordeal shy
as peacocks just plucked. A new Eng
lish name finished the preparation for
the alphabet and the English lan
guage. Jeremiah Hadley, grandfather of the
governor' of Missouri, came to this
mission as superintendent in August,
1855, and remained there in the storm
and stress of free-state days. The
Missourians stole his stock and
threatened him with death for his ad
herence to the free-state cause.
Charles Bluejacket the noted Shawnee
chief, was educated at this institution.
Bluejacket, by the way, was descend

Solving a Double-Stockinged Mystery.
Hosiery covers a multitude of shins.
No institution that forms part of our
daily lives comes closer to us. There
fore, it is only right that the one
thing we do not know about it should
cause us much mental distress. The
question is: Do stockings (and socks)
wear out from the inside or in from
the outside? We believe the matter
is worthy of the attention of a master
mind, so we have taken it up. We
see on the fashion page that women
are going to start wearing two pairs
of stockings Instead of one. and both
at the same time. We are told the
effect will be lovely. For instance, a
pair of bright green ones underneath,
with a pair of gauzy black ones on
top, will give a beautiful shimmering
ensemble that Is all the nreworss.
Other combinations may be added to
suit the taste. Ail we have to do Is
to notice which stocking gets the hole
first If it is the inner one, we can
deduce that our stockings, and eke
our socks, wear out from the inside.
If it is the outer one, it is just as
easy to conclude that they wear in
from the outside.
Novelist's Good Advice.
Do instantly whatever Is to be done,
and take the hours of recreation after
business, and never before it When
a regiment is under march the rear is
often thrown Into confusion because
the front does not move steadily and
without interruption. It is the same
thing with business. If that which 13
Grst in hand is not instantly, steadily
and regularly dispatched, other things
accumulate behind till affairs begin
to press all at once, and no human
brain can stand the confusion. Pray,
mind this: This is the habit of mind
which is very apt to beset men of in
tellect and talent, especially when
their own arrangement. But it is like
the ivy round the oak, and ends by
limiting, if it does not destroy, the
power of manly and necessary exer
tion. Sir Walter Scott.
A NURSE'S EXPERIENCE.
Backache, Pains in the Kidneys, Bloat
ing, Etc., Overcome.
A ncrse is expected to know what
to do for common ailments, and wom
en who suffer back
ache, constant lan
guor, and other com
mon symptoms of
kidney complaint,
should be grateful to
Mrs. Minnie Turner,
of E. B. St, Ana
darko, Okla., for
pointing out the way
to find quick relief. Mrs. Turner used
Doan's Kidney Pills for a run-down con
dition, backache, pains in the sides and
kidneys, bloated limbs, etc. "The way
they have built me up is simply mar
velous,' says Mrs. Turner, who is a
nurse. "My health improved rapidly.
Five boxes did so much for me I am
telling everybody about it"

CHILD ATE
CUTICURA
OINTMENT.
Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted.
Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.
A New York friend of Cuticura
writes:
"My three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint
ment When a search was made for
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that be had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on
the crackers. It cured him of a bad
cold and I don't know what else."
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Cu
ticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. If It may be
safely eaten by a young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex
pected to attend its application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant
