I LINCOLN. Not. .(8peelal. Things are
Sovely at tha republican state headquarters
and If the county and precinct chairmen
tnake good on the reporta they are Bend
ing: In Judge Letton and tha candidate! for
regents of the University of Nebraaka will
ooms under the wire with a majority much
larger In proportion to the vote cast than
that received by Judge Barnea two years
mgn.
From every precinct In the state the
atate chairman has received reporta of an
Increase In the republican following, with
" promises that the vote would be larger
than two year ago. In Lincoln and In
Omaha the resist ration this year Is much
lighter than heretofore, and It la expected
that the vote will be much less. For that
reason Chairman Warner Is urging tha
amiaiae districts to come iu ia imai wim
all their reserves and cast a full party
Vote, together with aa many democrats
as they cao find.
Chairman Warner Is sending out letters
urging the republicans of the state not
to be over-confident, but to hustle and
keep hustling right up until tha laat Tote
la cast, and then all Join In one grand
celebration. Over-confidence he knows is
the only thing the republicans have to fear
and that fact he Is trying to forcibly Ira
. press upon the county and precinct chair
men.
Alfalfa Crop Is Large
That alfalfa la becoming one of the great
est and most valuable crops In Nebraaka
la conclusively shown by a report Issued
' today by tha state bureau of labor and
statistics dealing with the acreage, pro
duction and value of the alfalfa crop of
Nebraska for 1906. The report ahows the
total yield of the crop to be 1,301, "60 tons,
at a value of tll.T16,840. This great yield
was raised upon an acreage of 816,711 acres,
which gave an average yield of 4.12 tons
per acre. The Increase In the production
of this valuable bay la very noticeable
when the acreage and production for the
last four years Is considered. In 1902 the
acreage of alfalfa In tha state waa 201.566
acres, and the estimated yield was 64,979
tons; In 1903 the total acreage- waa 239,401,
with an estimated production of 834.403
tons, and In 1904. although the acreage de
creased about 2,000 acres, being 233,321
acres, yet the total production waa greater,
owing to a larger average yield. The total
field for that year was 839,203 tons. It
will, therefore, be seen that by far the
greatest annual Increase has been made
this year. The Increase In acreage over
last year has been 79,890 acres and In
total production 416,760 tons.
Dawson county ranks first In the pro
duction of alfalfa, having produced 99,646
tons on an acreage of 21,662. Buffalo county
enjoys second rank, with a production of
84411 tons from an acreage of 19,562. Other
counties having acreages over 10,000 are
Custer, Furnas. Hall. Harlan, Nuckolls aad
Webster. The value of 111,715,840 placed
upon the alfalfa crop of this year will
rank It of greater importance than the
potato crop and makes It three times the
value of the barley and rye crops com-
blned. This Is quite surprising, considering
! that the crop has only been grown In the
state to any extent in the last few years.

afternoon transmitted to the school board
of Lincoln his official opinion regarding
the legality of the claim made by the
board on the state officers and state em
ployes for tuition fees The attorney gen
eral not only holds that the children of
state officers and others who live In Lin
coln but who maintain a legal residence
elsewhere are entitled to free school priv
ileges, but he denounces the action of the
board as an Injustice and calls attention
to the enormous amount of money Lincoln
has filched from the state by the enumer
ation of the children of state officers and
by the enumeration of university students.
Before asking for tuition fees from state
officers, Mr. Brown suggested to the board
that the school district of Lincoln should
pay to the state this money received by
reason of Illegal enumeration.

PENSION AS ROLL OF HONOR
Millionaire Applies for Peastoa la
Order to Complete His
Army Record.
WASHINGTON, Nov. . Pensions for
millionaires is one of the new developments
under the executive order of last year,
making age the only disability necessary
for the granting of a service pension. Ac
cording to Commissioner of Pensions War
ner, the application of a millionaire for a
pension Las been recently favorably passed
upon He did not wsnt the pension, ac
cording te the commissioner, on account .
of the money it carried with tt, but simply
to perfect his record of honorable service '
in the civil war. This view of the sge
disability is being taken by many well-to-do i
veterars, who would not otherwise atmlv i
jfor pensions. The fact that they are eligible
1 and performed the service stipulated In
j behalf of the government and that the
government is willing to recognize this
service by a pension and the accompanying
records of lb same will make to service j
pension a desirable addition to family rec
ords. The commissioner does not look upon this
class of pensions as an undesirable burden
for the government to bear. He takes the
view that the money distributed Is used by
the applicant to relieve want In the case
of the millionaire pensioner, he has know
ledge that the recipient has Just made
a bequest of 1100,000 for benevolent
poses.
