GOVERNOR CALLS TIME ON PRIZE FIGKT John X. West berg Looklas; Ip III for Chief Clerk of the Iloasr, hot Meets l ittle Eiroirurnf it. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 10. (Special.) Oeorge D. Bennett will be reappointed secretary of the State Board of Equalisation and Ed Rnyce wHI hold on to hia place an secretary of the State Banking board. Neither of these appointments have hoi n officially made, but there is no doubt but that they will be announced In due time. A majority of the members of the Ptate Board of Eqiialtsi lion hae expressed their preference tot Mr. Bennett, believing that he deserve an other term, because- It wan due largely to Ms work and bin understanding of the law, that the. late board got along as well a It did In starting out under the new order ff thing. The salary attached to tills of flee Is ll.wo a year, and as the responsl' Mlltles ure a great deal more and the work s great deal heavier than that of a deputy it Is very probable an effort will lie mad- to get the next legislature to Increase the salary. state Instil ot loas Report. Nearly, If not all of the state lust 1 1 ti tlong hive made their biennial reports to the governor, but they are not accessible to the public, as has been the custom, for the reason that In the office of the governor It is thought the wiser plan would be to wait til all are In, compiled and compared with the reports of former blenniums and then the entire list reports In a" complete tuulo be published. (iorrrnor falls the Fight. Those sport loving Omaha people who contemplate going to Homer to see Clar Snce English and Dave Andrews of South ' Omaha take a few pokes ut each other would better consult with the state author Itles first. Governor Mickey heard that : such a fight was in course of arrangement and this morning he notified the sheriff of Dakota county that he must not allow the fair name of Nebraska to be stained with such nn exhibition. The sheriff promlred he wouldn't. Consult on Tax Case. Oovernor Mickey and Attorney Oeneral Trout, Deputy Norrls Brown and Assistant W. B. Rose were In consultation this morn ing over a plan to oppose the railroads in their suit to prevent the collection of taxes. The conference was merely an Informal discussion and no definite plan will be adopted by the attorney general until after his consultation with the county attor neys next Wednesday. Weathers; After Clerkship. Friends of John N. Westberg, at one time comptroller of the city of Omaha, have been doing a little missionary work here In bin Interest as a candidate for chief clerk of the house of representatives, but it is believed with Indifferent success. A mem ber of the Omaha delegation announced yesterday evening, when he heard of the movement In Westberg's favor, that the former city comptroller could not secure the support of his home delegation and that consequently he would not be a for midable candidate In opposition to John Wall, Mr. Westberg Is known to the Lan caster delegation as the man who helped secure the passage of the Omaha charter amendment two years go that raised the salary attached to his office and later lost out In his candidacy for the renomlnatlon. Food Commissioner Reporta, Food Commissioner W, F. Thamp'Sn, In Tils biennial report to the governor, recom mends that the payment of fees to his de partment be abollthed and the commission bo supported by a direct appropriation; that the scope of his department be ex tended to all foods and condiments and all articles used for food or drink by man. At present the department has, jurisdiction only over dairy products, vinegar and elder. Commissioner Thompson calls attention to the fai t that the legislature In passing the present law saw fit to restrict the scope of the department to the limited artt.les of food found In section 4. These nre: But' ter, chees?, imitation butter, imitation, cheese, milk and creum, vinegar, cider and all laws concerning dairy products.

In his forthcoming re port to Governor Mickey he will recom mend that the law be changed so he can h this There are a numner ot two- tory hulldKigs occupied on the first floor by a store ana In the upper story as living apartments. As the law now stands it Is Impossible to compel owners to erect fire escupes on these two-story buildings. Two superintendents lleela-u. A L. Cook, county superintendent of Washington county, and J. M. Rhhardson of Antelope county have both resigned. The former will be succeeded by John A. Rhoadew. principal of schools at Kennard. and Mr. Richardson will be succeeded by C. E.

WILL LOCATE AT LAMAR, COLORADO ftebraaka Farmers Find Other Crops Which Pay Better and Require Less Labor to Pro duce. NORFOLK, Neb.. Dec. 10 (8peciul.) When the wheels and belts and engines in the Norfolk sugar factory stopped running late tonight, after having made a cam paign of three consecutive months of man ufacturlng, during no hour of which those wheels were stationary, the last grain of sugar that will ever be made in Norfolk or in northern Nebraska was finished. Experts who have been here for two months have already begun tho tearing out and dlamanteling of the machinery. Hav ing been measuring up every bolt and belt and having fitted them all into the plans for the new factory which is to be erected at Lamar, Colo., those engineer began at once the removal of the Norfolk plant Into tho state on the west. The factory has been run In Norfolk for thirteen continu ous years, but it will never run ugaln. The American Beet Sugar company, to whom, fourteen years ago, Norfolk citizens donated 150, 000 in cold cash, together with 240 acres of the richest soil In this com monwealth, for locating that factory at Norfolk, Is withdrawing all of its Interests from this city, leaving the big stone build ings, the land and the boilers. This prop erty will be deeded back to the people of Norfolk and will be hung up as a prize to Induce some new concern to locate here. Already a distillery, a brewery and glucose plunt have presented propositions to. the Commercial club for the establishment. The factory is being moved, the com pany says, because not enough btets are raised In the vicinity of Norfolk. The acre age has steadily dropped off. In Colorado they are assured of increased acreage for a period of five years at least. The farmers explain their luck of fields by the fact that it Is too easy in this soil to raise other crops. Beets are hard work. No more tedious toil exists In the agri cultural world today than the bringing up of beets. Kvery root of saccharine has to be tenderly cared for and coaxed from spring until full, and on hands and knees in the hot sun men and women must thin out the rows. It la too hard work for a country which can do other things. And Nebraska can do other things. During the thirteen year hundreds of thousands of tons of sugar have been man ufactured and sent through Omaha's job bers to the outside world. About 300 men were employed. But the business men here believe that with an institution which will run the year around greater benefit will re sult to the city and community. Inspects Rnral Hontes. OAKI.AND, Neb..

PLEADS G 1 1 LTV fO FORGERY Colored Lad Puts Employer's Name to Checks and tioes to Pen. CHADRON, Neb.. Dec. 10. (Special.) In district court, before Judge Westover, Uuy Moore, a colored boy aged 19, pleaded guilty to forgery and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary at hard labor, Sundays excepted, and to Jluy a line ot flOD and costs of prosecution. The boy had been working for Robert Hood in his lumber yard and being quite an expert In handwriting, had copied the signature of Mr. Hood until the resemblance was very close. Moore then forged the name of Robert Hood to three checks on th First National bano, of Chudron for $30, 120 and flft.60. Sunday evening Mr. Brog hamer cashed the 118.60 check in his saloon In the presence of the night watchman, who happened to know that Moore had not been working In the lumber 'yard for several days and that his circumstances were not such that he would be holding any such check. A minute examination followed and the deputy sheriff goon had Moore in custody. Presbyterians Organise Association. PAWNEE CITY, Neb., Dec. 10. (Special.) Last evening a moss meeting of Inter ested persons was held in the Presbyte rian church for tho purpose of organliing an association with the vkw of providing THE VALUE OF CKAHCOAL Few People Know How t seful It Is la Preservlna; Health and Ueaoty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal la the safest and most efficient disinfectant snd purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; It Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the goses and Impuri ties always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out .of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Churcoal effectually clears and Improve. the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin fects the mouth and throat from the poison or rather in the form of large, pleasant of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Charcoal Loaenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with boney. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter bieath and purer blood, and the beauty of It is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of tlx benefits of charcoal, says: 'I advlst Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach aud bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I ajso believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they coat but twenty-five cent, a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and belter charcoal in Stuart s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary c mutual tablets,' Games Our game counter Is supplied with the very latest and newest in games tor chil dren of all ages.
