SHORTAGE OF WATER
MANY COMPLAINTS FROM WEST
ERN NEBRASKA IRRIGATORS.
PRIOR RIGHTS ARE I6N0RE0
The State Engineer Doing All That
Is Possible to Rectify Existing
Troubles.
State Engineer B. C. Simmons, as
tecretary of the state board of irri
gation, has received many complaints
from western Nebraska from irriga
tors. Complaints are made that claim
ants are using water to which others
have prior rights. Information re
ceived indicates that the North Platte
river and all of the smaller streams
In the western part of the state arc
almost dry. Lack of snow in the
mountains in Colorado and Wyoming
13 given as the reason for lack of
water in the Platte river. Usually
these rivers rise the latter part of
June from the melting of snow. If
the rise does not take place, and this
Is now doubtful, those who depend
nron irrigation in western Nebraska
may have great difficulty in getting
water. State Engineer Simmons has
no funds with which to police canals
end there is no way to prevent per
sons from taking water regardless of
whether or not persons entitled to
prior claims on streams have been
supplied. The irrigator who has a crop
that is being ruined for lack of water
Is not likely to stand idly by and seo
water flowing down stream to some
other claimant who may live many
miles away. The state engineer is
unable to cause arrests and go into
court to prosecute persons who take
water out of their turn because he
has no founds to expend for such pur
poses. His two under secretaries,
Robert II. Willis of Bridgeport, and
Page T. Francis of Crawford are in
the field constantly trying to pacify
claimants and restore some semb
lance of order, but it is said the irri
gators have about decided to take
water whenever they need it regard
less of the rights of others. It is be
lieved it will be hard to get juries to
i ronvict such persons in their own
communities for so doing. All that
the state engineer can do is to notify
persons complained of that they must
not open their headgates till those
having prior rights are supplied with
water. If this does no good the com
plainants will have to go into the
courts to seek injunctions to enforce
their lights.
Attorney General May Leave.
Attorney General W. T. Thompson.
Recording to a rumor current in Lin
coln, has been appointed to a posi
tion at Washington at a salary of
several thousand dollars a year, has
rccepted the position and will go to
Washington at the close of his term
of office in Nebraska. Mr. Thompson
is now on his way home from Wash
ington and confirmation of the rumor
cannot be had at his office or his
home. The rumor of his appointment
does not specify the nature of the
position offered to Mr. Thompson.

pilation of statistical returns in the
First congressional district of Nebras
ka and forwarded the last batch of
schedules to the director of the cen
sus at Washington. This included the
reports from fifty-eight districts on
population and twenty-one on agricul
tural data. The supervisor's office will
be maintained for a time in order to
take inventories, return unused sup
plies and finish up correspondence
with the bureau, but there Is nothing
more to be done in the way of listing
inhabitants.
Mrs. Coad Gets Divorce.

reference to a common law marriage

Daring the Women.
Few realize how high-heeled, short,
tight shoes are hideously clumping,
slubbing and crippling, permanently
ruining and deforming not only the
feet, but the whole body of women,
says the New York Press. Such shoes
not only cause direct misery, but they
cause all manner of Indisposition, Indi
gestion and fatness. Mauy women ac
tually cannot walk enough with their
ruined, softened, tendered, corned,
bunioned and nail Ingrown feet to
keep the fat from smothering Iden-
AS TO ROCK ISLAND.
The Road Falls to Pay Its Occupation
Tax.
Owing to the absence of Attorney
General Thompson it Is not possible
at this time to get a statement from
the legal department as to what
would be done regarding the Rock
Island railroad, which has failed to
pay its occupation tax, and is, there
fore, under the law. incapable of do
ing business in Nebraska legally.
The law which provides for the
payment of an annual fee by corpora
tions provides the following penalty
for its violation:
Section 8 It shall be unlawful for
any corporation, delinquent under
this act, either domestic or foreign,
which has not paid the occupation
fee. together with tne penalty for
such delinquency, as in this act pre
scribed, to exercise the powers of
such corporation, or to transact any
business in this state, after the 30th
day of November next following the
delinquency. Each and every person
who exercises any of the powers of a
corporation so delinquent, either
domestic or foreign, which has not
paid the ocupation fee, together with
the penalty for such delinquency, or
who transacts any business for or In
behalf of any such corporation, after
the 30the day of November next fol
lowing the delinquency, shail be guil
ty of a misdemeanor, and upon con
viction thereof shall be punished by
a fine of not less than $100. and not
exceeding $1,000, or by imprisonment
in the county jail not less than fifty
days nor more than 500 days, or by
both such fine and imprisonment.
The Rock Island is now in litiga
tion with the state over the railroad
legislation enacted by the legislature
of 1907 and over an order issued by
the State Railway commission to
compel it to construct a crossing at
Hallam. What effect the cancella
tion of its charter will have on this
litigation Deputy Attorney General
Grant Martin would not say, not hav
ing looked into the question thorough
ly. The Rock Island is not in very good
odor with the lesal department of the
state or the railway commission be
cause of its refusal to carry out or
ders of the commission. In the Hal
lam case, where the railroad was pe
titioned to construct a crossing in
order to save the citizens several
blocks walk In going over the
tracks, the commission ordered the
crossing constructed. The railroad
appealed to the district court and
then again to the supreme court. No
decision has yet been handed down.
That case has been In controversy
about two years.
Complaint Against Burlington.
The railway commission has re
ceived a complaint from the Milburn
Smith Grain company of Max. object
ing to the present facilities furnished
at that village by the Burlington Rail
road company. The complainants set
forth that the railroad does not ade
quately care for the freight and pas
senger traffic on the line at this point,
and ask that the company be forced to
build a depot and -stop trains at the
village.
The nearest station is Benkelman.
nine miles west, and Stratton. the
station next on the east, is ten miles
away. The town contains a grain ele
vator, a lumber yard and three stores.
The complainants state that they
shipped thirty cars grain out of the
village since the first of the year,
twenty cars of hogs, and two cars of
cattle, and that if they had the proper
shipping facilities they would be en
abled lo buy much more.
The most serious complaint Is made
on the passenger service. The com
plaint states that the trains are fre
quently late, and that the passengers
are forced to wait for them in the
open, and without any sort of protec
tion from the weather. It Is stated
that as high as twenty-six people have
been thus forced to wait, when the
thermometer stood at 8 degrees above
zero.
Last Chance to File.
The last day for the Dllng of candi
dates for the Augusf primaries is July
18. As there are many offices still
open and an unusually small number
of candidates filed for some other of
fices of importance it is expected that
business will pick up in the office of
the secretary of state during the next
twenty days.
Normal Board Reorganizes.
The state normal board has reor
ganized and Dr. Shellhorn of Peru be
comes president instead of Mr. Child.,

Donald is vice president and Luther
P. Ludden Is continued as secretary.
Files for Attorney General.
..lenzo W. Terry of Beatrice filed
as a candidate for attorney general
on the democratic ticket. Mr. Terry
was in the race In 19ns for the same
office. So far his only opponent is
Grant Martin, deputy attorney gen
eral. It is not believed that Martin
will have any serious opposition for
the republican nomination.

TAFT GREETS TEH
CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND HIS PRE
DECESSOR AT BEVERLY.
h VERY CORDIAL GREETING
Manifestations that Left Not a Single
Doubt as to the Exuberance of
Feel Inge.
Beverly. Mass. For a full minute
Thursday afternoon President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt stood on the
broad veranda of the Evans cottage
with hands upon each other's shoul
ders while delight shows in every line
of the smile-enwrapped counten
ances. "Mr. President." It was Roosevelt
who spoke, and there was earnest
warmth in his salutation.
"Theodore!"
They patted each other affectionate
ly on the shoulder. They laughed in a
way that left not a single lingering
doubt as to the exuberance of their
feelings. They seemed utterly obvious
of the fact that there were others pres
ent "It used to be Mr. President and
Will.' didn't it?" the colonel cried In
his old familiar high-pitched voice,
"but now its 'Mr. President and
Theodore. "
The two friends, meeting after six
teen months' separation, with all the
warmth that used to characterize their
association in Washington, slapped
each other again on arms and shoul
ders. And so it went throughout thn
afternoon. When Colonel Roosevelt
was president and Mr. Taft was sec
retary of war the meetings of the two
men at Washington always were
characterized by the same cordiality
as that of today. While house attaches
who witnessed the greeting this after
noon said it was just like the old
days, there also was a rapid fire of
conversation. The meeting was eve ry
thing that the friends of President
Taft have claimed that it would be
and the persistent prophecies of those
who have insisted all along that a
coolness had developed between the
two men proved to be fallacious.
Colonel Roosevelt was in the spirit
of the renewed association with the
president, when, after two hours and
twenty minutes spent with Mr. Taft
and members of his family, he started
back to Nahant to spend a second
night with Senator Lodge.
As he was leaving the shaded
grounds of the president's cottage the
colonel stopped to speak with several
old newspaper friends from Washing
ton. "I had an exceedingly pleasant time
with the president." he exclaimed.
"There Is nothing particular to say. is
there. Cabot?" turning to Senator
Lodge.
"No. I think not." put In the senator.
"We had a delightful time and that
is all there is to it." the colonel add
ed. "By George, look at those miscre
ants." he exclaimed as several photo
graphers who had climbed on a stone
wall for a vantage point began to click
their cameras with a perfect fusillade
of snapshots.
"Does Beverly come up to Oyster
Bay?" someone asked.
"You know I am fond of Oyster
Bay." he replied, "and I don't want to
make any comparisons, but. by George.
Beverly is beautiful. This whole north
shore is perfectly lovely."
With a wave of his Panama hat and
a hearty word of goodbye he was off.
FIGHTERS ARE READY.
Jeffries and Johnson in Prime Con
ditlon fo rthe Set-to.

"I am ready. My training is finished.
With the exception of a sprint uow
and then to keep myself in shape. I

While Jeffries lolled away tho

of the moving picture camera he

SKIN HUMOR 25 YEARS
"Cuticura did wonders for me. For
twenty-five years I suffered agony
from a terrible humor, completely cov

even to my wife, I became an object
of dread. At large expense I consult
ed the most able doctors far and near.
Their treatment was of no avail, nor
was that of the Hospital, during
Bix months' efforts. I suffered on
and concluded there was no help for
me this side of the grave. Then I
heard of some one who had been cured
by Cuticura Remedies and thought
that a trial could do no harm. In a
surprisingly short time I was com
