(From n Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 27. (Special,) Raising
nolves and coyotes for bounty Is an Indus
try that Is thriving In severat sections of
the state, Cases are known whero persons
havo maintained families of sometimes as
many as sixty wolven and then presented
their scalps for the stato and county
bounties, which combined amount to $1
for each scalp. Instances have also been
brought to the attention of tho authorities
whore Bcatps havo been recovered after
bcunty was paid and presented again under
separate and new clnlm.
The state law authorizes tho auditor of
public accounts to Issue a warrant for $1
for each wolf's scalp and the counties aro
authorized to pay an additional bounty of
$3. Tho last legislature appropriated $15.
000 for tho payment of wolf bounties for
tho ensuing blennlum, but there were at
that time approximately $17,000 of unpaid
claims, which had accumulated since the
appropriation of 1899 becarao exhausted.
Governor Dietrich vetoed tho appropriation
because no provision was inado for tho pay
ment of the old claims. It Is estimated
that the claims against the stato for wolf
bounties now amount to 'fully $25,000, and
at their present rate of accumulation will
reach $10,000 by tho end of next year.
The legislature of 1899 appropriated $80,-
000 for the payment of bounties on wolves.
$15,000 of which was for old claims and $15,
000 for thoso of tho ensuing two years. The
latter amount was eoon exhausted, as was
also the former, but the claims kept accumu
lating as rapidly as ever.
Amount of the llountlen.
The state law provides that any person
killing wolves, wildcats or coyotes within
tho boundaries of the state and pre
senting the scalps of the samo with
tho two ears and face down to the
nose to the county clerk of tho county In
which tho samo were killed, with satisfac
tory jiroof upon oath that the samo were
killed within tho boundaries or the state
shall be entitled to the following bounties:
For every wolf so killed, $1; for every wild
cat so killed, $1; for every coyoto ho killed,
$1. Certificates of such bounties, when so
allowed, shall be Issued by the county
clerk to tho person entitled thereto nnd
upon the name being filed with tho auditor
of public accounts the said auditor shall
draw his warrant on tho treasury of the
state against tho general fund for tho
amount of such cortltlcate. In favor of the
person nnmed therein or his nsslgnee.
The provision regarding the payment of
county bounties Is worded similarly to the
one quoted, excepting that It directs tho
county clerk to lssuo the certificates upon
tho presentation of tho scalps nnd adds
mountain Hons to the list of animals whose
scalps arc so highly prized. ,
"As thero Is no money nvallablo for the
payment of the bounties on wild nnlmals we
cannot allow the claims," said Deputy
Auditor Oeorge Anthes. "But the claims
keep coming In and they will all go to
make up a deficiency for the next legisla
ture to act upon.
IlnlsliiK Wolvp for llie Purpose.
"I hnvo been told on rellablo authority.'
continued Mr. Anthes, "that persons nre
making a business of raising wolves for the
Btate and county bounties. Claims come to
this office forfometlmea sixty and more
at a tlmo. I am told that In some cases the
county clerks nre careless In disposing of
the scalps presented to them and that tho
claimants frequently recover them after
they aro thrown nway. Ono ense brought
to my attention was whore tho county clerk
threw all scalps out of "tho window Imme
diately nfter ho Issued tho certificates. Tho
claimants would go outsldo and regain tholr
scalps nnd present them again for thu
county bounty and tho certificate entitling
him to tho ntato bounty.
"My opinion Is that tho next legislature
should pay all old bonuty claims and re
peal the law."

A petition asking for tho appolntmont of
E, C, Jackson of Blair as Judge of tho dls
trlct roun to succeed Judge Baker was pre
sented to "the governor this afternoon. Tho
document was given Into the hands of Qov

"Tho petition I havo presented to tho gov

"Oovernor Savngo has taken tho petition

tho statement ho recently gave out for

he would appoint (be mnn selected by ho
bar of tho district. He does not mean by
the Douglas County Bar association, nor by
tho bar association of the district, but
rather by tho practicing lawyers In tho
district. Tho governor thlnkr-thls n fair,
way to fill tho place held by Judgo Baker.
"It would not surprise tho peoplo
Washington county to seo the lawyers of
Douglas county to combine on an Omahn
man, but wo are going to make tho effort
In behalf of our candidate and get him ap
pointed If possible. It would ho magnani
mous on the part of tho Douglas county at

"Some patron of the district should apply
to inn (iiainct court in behalf of tho dlstrle
for a writ of mandamus to Tcnnwel th

the district tho necessary text books. In no
cordance with the provisions of the school

writ was Issued and for a return thereto
the school board Interposed the defense that
the act was unconstitutional. The writ was
insued as prayed and the school board ap
pealed the case to tho supremo court. The

Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure
'A healthy stomach, capable of digesting a good, square meal,
Is a great blessing. It keeps the body tuning by insuring plenty
of nourishment. In fact, it means perfect health. But some
thing must be dono when the stomach is so tired that it can't
digest what you eat, for undigested food poisons the blood.
Wo can recommend a preparation that completely digests all
classes of foods that is Kodol DvsrnrsiA Cuke. It gives tho
stomach perfect rest nnd allows you to cat and enjoy the variety
of food that is necessary for maintaining health. It never
falls to euro indigestion, after everything elso has failed. It is
pleasant to take and can be used iii all conditions.
"For many years I suffered from chronic indigestion, and it
seemed as though nothing was going to do me any good. On
tho advice of a friend 1 commenced using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It gave me Immediate relief and I continued its use, until now
I feel that I am cured." Heury F. Cramer, Wendclvlllc, N. Y.
