Haskell and Reply Thereto by the Chief Executive of Nebraska. Governor Shallenberger lias accept ed an invitation from Governor Has: kell to attend a conference between these two and the governor of Kansas to discuss a way to defend the bank ing law of Oklahoma, which is now pending in the supreme court of the United States. Governor Shallenberger is much im pressed with the banking law of Texas, which goes into effect January 1. This law provides that the state banks must guarantee their deposits either by taking but an indemnity policy or by a mutual arrangement. He has received a copy of the Okla homa law and has the opinion of At torney General Thompson that it would stand the test of the constitu tion in Nebraska. The telegram sent by the governor of Oklanoma was as follows: "Guthrie, Okl.. Governor A. C. Shal lenberger, Lincoln Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma have mutual intefests In the banking law question. Our test case originated in state court. Our law fully upheld by our supreme court. Case now in United States supreme court on appeal from state supreme court. Will probably be reached about February or March. I believe all three states are mutually interested in the Oklahoma case and therefore have decided to invite conference and mu tual co-operation between Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Kindly ad vise me if you think well of this con ference and co-operation. "C. N. HASKELL, Governor." Governor Shallenberger announcing that lie would accept the invitation of Governor Haskell for a conference of the executives of Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, wrote the following let ter to the Oklahoma governor: "I have your telegram relative to the matter of a conference to be held by those officially interested in and empowered with the enforcement of the guaranty of deposits law in the states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Ne braska. "In reply I will say that it seems to me that the suggestion is a good one aud I will be very glad to assist in any way. The laws of the three states have all been attacked upon uifferent points and the federal courts in Nebraska and Kansas have en joined the laws of these respective states for different reasons, and, as you suggest, it seems to me highly to be desired, that the lawyers hav ing in charge the cases for the differ ent states and the executive depart ments having in charge the enforce ment of the laws, should mutually confer and agree as to a general policy. "I will be very glad to hear from rou further in the matter, as doubt less you have given it attention, and I would like to know if it is your Idea to hold the conference in one of the respective states, or to confer at the time of the meeting of governors, called for January lo, next, at Wash ington. D. C. State Aid for Counties. Superintendent Bishop has made his certificate to the state auditor showing what counties are entitled to share in the state aid fund under the act of 1909. The apportionment of this fund is made in accordance with section 14b, subdivision 2, school laws, which provides that the state superintendent shall, on or before the last Monday in December of each year certify th.e amount of state aid due the various counties to the state audi tor, who shall draw warrants on the state treasurer in favor of the county treasurer for the amount so specified by the superintendent of public instruction. No Need of Policemen. No force was patrolling the streets at any time during Christmas and no necessity for such was found. Chief Malone says a patrol force would not be necesary at any time now that Lin roln has abolished the saloons. The office force, and two or three plain clothes men ready to answer calls at any time could, in the judgment of the chief take care of the situation. The element which has in the past required constant attention has been leaving the city since it has been found so difficult to "wet up.' Last of Dinnuzzo Case. The supreme court overruled the motion for rehearing in the case of the state against Dinuzzo of Omaha, winding up the effort to reopen the 8 o'clock closing case. Cowgill Rivals One T. R. W. II. Cowgill, railway commis sioner, will within a day or two have on exhibition for the pleasure of his friends the head of an elk which was brought down by his trusty rifle and which on Christmas day took the blue ribbon in a contest at Bozeman. Mont. The head with two deer heads, the result of Mr. Cowgill's deadly aim, are now on the road to Lincoln by ex press. This elk Mr. Cowgill shot and killed at a distance of 500 yeards af ter trailing the animal through the snow for five or six hours. Sackett Law Invoked. Governor Shallenberger 'has been called upon to invoke the Sackett law against certain officials at Brady, Lin coln county. The complainant wrote the governor that the village license board granted a license to a saloon keeper and that the matter was tak en into court and the supreme court instructed the licensing body to re--voke its action. The complainant said the board did revoke the license, but within a few hours issued anoth er one to the same party and the saloon is now running illegally. NEBRASKA NEWS AND NOTES.

The receipts at the South Omaha yards were not quite 4,000 head.

' v . .- SkBbbbb " they wish to talk with the president without being obliged to wait their turns with senators, representatives and the private citizens of the land, who under the new arrangement are given a waiting room of their own. Mr. Taft's cabinet forms what might be called a legal family. Most of the members are law yers of the first rank, and it is an open secret that they were selected because of their high nbility. There are no longer books on nature and books on general history subjects in the office li brary of the White House. New book shelves have been put in and on them are hundreds of the brownish-red covered volumes which beto ken the law book. It is said that cabinet meet ings these days take on the semblance of a con sultation of lawyers. As an example of this it may be said that one day the president in talking to some newspaper correspondents said that no matter what subject was broached in the cabinet room at that time the thoughts of everyone went from the suggested subject to the matter of the strengthening of the anti-trust laws. What the president said at that time is prac tically true of most of the present sessions of JACOB M.DCHIM(JM, SECRETARY Of WAR soil be brings his best efforts to bear to cul tivate a garden. The secretary has read the story written by Mrs. Theodore Thomas, the widow of the great orchestra leader, a story which told how she made a success ful garden on the rock-bound hills of the north. Mr. MacVeagh has profited by the reading and while his garden per haps is not equal to that planned and cultivated by Mrs. Thomas, it contains many of the flowers of the kind that make pleasant what people are given to call old fashioned gardens. Mr. Taft consults his treasury chief about econ omies In government It was Mr. MacVeagh who was asked as soon as Mr. Taft took office, to pro vide ways and means to save money in the differ ent departments. The merchant cabinet member had the advantage of a long business training, and It did not take him long to discover that it was possible to save many thousands of dollars by putting business methods In effect in the dif ferent bureaus of government It was found for instance, that a good many bureaus of the depart ments were In the habit of purchasing their sup plies independently. The result of this was that some of them were paying much more money for some articles than was being paid by others. Reform In nurchase methods has come and it the cabinet, for it is known that while Mr. Taft is anxious to carry out the Roosevelt policies, he has come also in many other lines, the net re- wants to buttress them with the law so that no suit being that Uncle Sam's pocketbook Is being constitutional flaws can be found In them by means of which after the best intentions on the part of the legislators, the guilty might find a means of escape. It must not be supposed for an instant that be cause most of Mr. Taft's cabinet members are lawyers, they have no avocations in life to turn them aside frequently from their vocations. Take the ranking member of the cabinet for instance. Philander Chase Knox. The secretary of state is a devotee of the outdoor life, and Is no less ac tive in open air pursuits than was President Roosevelt, though it is true that Mr. Knox does not care for the pursuit of game nor for the study of natural history. The secretary of state, when he is not discuss ing matters with the president or is not engaged in straightening out international tangles, is eith er playing golf or driving a pair of fast spirited horses. There are few more ardent lovers of "the noble horse" than Secretary Knox. He rides oc casionally and he is not averse to taking a five bai red gate if his mount is a jumper, and If the ge happens in his way. The secretary's chief delight is driving. On his Pennsylvania farm near Valley Forge, the scene of the awful winter which was passed by the continental army under George Washington. Mr. Knox has many horses of approved pedigree, and many dairy animals also of noted forbears. Franklin MacVeagh. the secretary of the treas ury, who is the second ranking officer in Mr. Taft's cabinet is a merchant a 'though in early days he studied Jaw. Mr. MacVeagh is not given particularly to the strenuous life as it is viewed generally. He is much of a walker and has a love of nature which leads him afield on many a ramble, but for games, and for shooting, the sec tetary cares Mttl. lp near Dublin. New Hampshire, the treasury rhief has a country home and there on the rocky saved a good many thousands of dollars yearly. Jacob M. Dickinson, the secretary of war in Mr. Taft's cabinet, is a southern man and a Demo crat It may seem a little curious at first thought, but it is a fact that the army officers in the main, are glad that a southerner is the chief of the war department Despite the attitude of some Demo cratic southern members of congress on army questions generally, the southerners feel kindly toward the officers and men of the service. There is something in the military life that appeals to them, and while the official southern Democrats generally are outspoken against what they call the danger of a great standing army, the military establishment as it is has their sympathy always, and their support frequently. The secretary of war comes from that section of the country where everybody loves horses, and he is no exception to the rule. He Is a golf play er also, and this fact perhaps makes him appeal to Mr. Taft's sympathies just as much as does the fact that the secretary is a great lawyer. Secre tary Dickinson is not serving in .Washington in an official capacity for the first time. Years ago he was the assistant attorney general during the last 24 months of the Cleveland administration, and he was counsel for the government afterward in the matter of the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute. When the president has a particularly knotty problem in legislation on hand and heeds to study it from a legal standpoint, he goes over it himself first, just as a judge on the bench does with sub mitted evidence, forms his own opinion, and then ctlls in the "supreme court" of his cabinet which is composed of the great lawyers. Knox. Dickin son, Wickersham, Nagel and Ballinger. It is pos sible that Mr. Taft depends just as much upon the legal opinion of his secretary of war as he does upon that of his attorney general. At any rate the war secretary is accounted by Mr. Taf FRANKUN MacVMAGH .SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY cabinet position was called by the press of the country "the great un known." Mr. Wickersham is no longer unknown: His position as the attorney for the United States in all Its civil and criminal pro ceedings keeps him constantly in the light The attorney general looks like a student. Lawyers say of him that he has one of the keenest and most analytical minds known to the profession. Mr. Wickersham cares very little for the outdoor life and perhaps he is a man who by temperament would not nave ap pealed in the least to a president like Theodore Roosevelt, but the attorney general has diversions which occupy his leisure hours, and they are di versions, of -which, unquestionably the countr will approve. He is interested in the welfare of at least a dozen charitable organizations and one of his beliefs is that: "He gives twice who gives quickly." Mr. Wickersham is immensely Interested in the welfare of the blind. He is a director of a great New York institution which cares for and edu cates children who have lost their sight. Frank H. Hitchcock, who is Mr. Taft's postmas ter general, is a bachelor, devoted to the outdoor life, a lover of birds and beasts and a student of nearly every branch of natural history. Not only is the postmaster general a student of nature, but he has done an immense amount of work along sci entific lines. Three years ago last summer the writer of this article went to Oyster Bay, the home of President Roosevelt. Mr. Hitchcock was there also, and sev eral hours were spent in his company in the grounds outlying the former president's home. There is a deep wood just beyond the Roosevelt lawn and garden, and from the wood on that sum mer day there came constantly, songs of birds, many different species singing one after the oth er. Many of the notes that were heard were those of different members of the little warbler family, birds whose notes are so similar that it is impos sible for any except the most sensitive ear to differ entiate between them. Mr. Hitchcock identified one bird after another simply by hearing its song. Once on a time the postmaster general classified 10,000 birds for a museum of natural history with which he was connected. One of the ties between the present postmaster general and former President Roosevelt was their common love of nature. Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger has few diversions except that of golf. Mr. Ballin ger was born in Iowa 50 years ago, and nearly all his life has been spent in some part of the west When James Wllsbn, secretary of agriculture, was asked once what his diversion was he an swered, "farming." This idea of diversion is one that is held largely by men who combine the love of nature with agricultural instinct One of Mr. Wilson's diversions is story telling. They say In Washington that if his homely sayings could be gathered and put into a book, the reader would get a fund of humor and wisdom combined. When Charles Nagel, Mr. Taft's secretary of commerce and labor. Is not engaged in the work of his department he is thinking over matters of edu cation and art. Mr. Nagel is to some extent a de votee of the outdoor life, but he is prone to giving much of his time to the study of matters pertain ing to the schools. Taking Mr. Taft's cabinet all In all it is just about as human a body of men as can be gathered togeth er. There Is an impression prevalent that the mem bers ot this Washington official family are rather of what Walter Scott calls, "the-dry-as-dust" mate rial, but there has been a misunderstanding appar ently concerning the nature of these advisers of tha president. They know their law and they know their agriculture and their finance, but while they know how to study they also know how to play, but not one of them knows how to play one whit bet ter than does their chief, who Is about as jolly a man personally as the United States has yet pre duced. Why She Married Him. John J. Hayes, the marathon cham pion, was describing in New York the enthusiasm that the marathon race caused among Americans in London. "That race," he said, "was the chief motive that took us Americans abroad last summer. Indeed, coming back on the boat I heard an almost incredible story about the race's attraction. "There was a very pretty girl aboard who seemed unhappy. Her un hapjiness .was due to .her husband. She was married to a rich, but very old man; he might have been her grandfather. "She was a very frank sort of girL and she confided her marital troubles to one of the ladies at her table. From her confidence it was plain that the aged husband was a brute. " 'But my dear child,', said the lady, 'what ever induced you to marry such a man?' " "Well, you see," said the girl, 1 was so anxious to see that marathon race.' " Fewer Books Borrowed. The borrowing of novels is declin ing all over England, being not more than 15 per cent of the work done by public libraries. In the public li braries of the United Kingdom there are 4,000.000 reference and 8,000,000 lending books; 11,000,000 reference books are consulted every year, ac cording to the records, and at least an equal number are taken from the shelves and consulted without being recorder!. Every year 60,000,000 books are lent for home reading. Giving further detail the Investigator states that "the taste for history, biography and travel Is on the wane; readers are all for science and sociology, and new books on socialism are always in demand." Progress. Punctured Cloth a Trimming. There is a broadcloth trimming now in use which is covered with a design in holes. These are made with a stiletto. It is called punctured cloth, and it is used for revers, waistcoats, and panels on skirts and ccata. , SUITABLE ARRANGEMENT. Sflrj f r iSi i QbI I "Can you lend me half a dollar?"

He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to .spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cutlcura Soap, Cutl cura Ointment and Cutlcura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them In the morning and that evening, before I put my boy to bed. I used them again and the improve ment even in those few hours was sur prising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cutlcura Ointment, the same -of the Pills and the Soap and my boy waa cured. My son is now in his sev enteenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never re turned. I would recommend the Cutl cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1823 Columbia Ave., Phila delphia, Pa.. Oct 20, 1909." Child of the Press.
