(From a Ftaff Correspondents
. LINCOLN, V'-c 14. (Special Telegram )
Harrison Clarke's body has been on seml
publlo ihow at tl.e undertaking rooms of
Castle, Roper Ac Matthews in Lincoln anl
Governor Fhelilon Is much exercised at
tha InrMent. The fact that Coroner-elect
Jack Matthews of Lancaster county Is the
person directly responsible does not add
to the pleasure of local republicans on
whose ticket Matthews was elected. The
display was stopped this morning with
suddenness, when Attorney General
Thompson pointed out the law. which car
ries a heavy penalty for such acts.
While r.o prosecution will result, the oc
currence la not relished by thd slate offi
cer. A similar Incident Is retailed, when,
a few years ago, the .body of Murderer
Nlegenflnd was displayed -in a more public
way by another Lincoln undertaker, much
to the scandal of the officials.
After the execution of Clarke, Under
taker Matthews secured the body, which
Is o be shipped to his mother In Troy, Mo.
When It was brought to. the rooms on
South Thirteenth street, a crowd of about
3no people waa In waiting and while a
public exhibition was not allowed, any per
aon who applied properly was permitted to
ae tha dead negro. Several hundred people
availed themselves of the opportunity. This
morning the mstter was called to the atten
tion of Governor Sheldon and Attorney
General Thompson. The lntter read the
law lo the undertaker and when he saw
that for permitting exhibitions of a dead
human body, there was a penalty of Im
prisonment for from one to three years
or a fine of $1600, the curtain dropped
quickly.
Governor Sheldon expressed himself as
astounded that anything like this should
take place.
At the time of the Nlegenflnd exhibition,
the body was on show and the crowds filed
through the rooms of another Lincoln un
dertaker to the accompaniment of slow
music.
Wlfo seesni Effects.
The wife of Harrison Clarke, who was
executed yesterdsy at the state peniten
tiary, called on the warden thla morning
and secured the personal effects of the
dead. Clarke had about $40 coming to him.
which sum another convict had donated to
help him out. This convict refuaed to take
back his money, but ordered the warden to
give It to Mrs. Clarke. Fred Smith the
Omaha colored lawyer. It was reported,
secured $25 for coming down and fixing up
the Insanity affidavit.
Mr. Bryan's Saggestloa.
W. J. Jiryan today In speaking In a semi
Joking way with Railroad Commissioner J.
A. Williams said he might soon be a com
plainant before the railroad commission.
He thought he should ask the board to
compel the railroads of Omaha to con
atruct a subway between the Burlington
and Union stations for the accomodation
of the traveling public. Mr. Bryan re
cently put In some swift sprinting to get
over the Tenth street viaduct In time to
catch a train and It occurred to him that
a passageway under the tracks would be a
great accomodation to tha public.
Dr. Glffea Appointed.
"' Dr. Tt. E. GlfTen ' haa been appointed
physician for the state penitentiary In
place of Dr. E. I Holyoke. whose terra
haa expired. Dr. Giffen has for years been
the physician In Governor Bheldena family.
The compenaation Is $100 a month.
- Bryan to Talk In Oklahoma.
Mr. Bryan will deliver an address to tha
members of the Oklahoma legislature De
cember 21. Mr. Bryan will leave Lincoln
next week and will atop at Guthrie on
hla way to Texas. In the latter state ha
will spend three or four' daya with friends.
Then he will continue his trip In the south
and will return to Lincoln January 10.

A Message
to Toothless
Humanity
If this message of the wonders and
blessings of the Alveolar Method of teeth
restoration without plates or bridge work
comes to you for the first time In this
advertisement, you may consider this your
lucky day.
The man who Is blessed with good health
Is a lucky man, and In order that he may
enjoy good health HE MUST HAVE GOOD
TEETH. ' They are the fundamentals.
"Chew your food," the doctors cry. "I
wish I could." tha man without tha good
teeth repllea. "I haven't been able to
really chew meat for years."
The Alveolar .Method of supplying miss
ing teeth is a boon to humanity. No plates
needed, no boring, cutting nothing that
one need dread about the method. All we
require Is that you have two or more
teeth left In either Jaw; no matter whether
they are Bound or not. We will examine
them carefully and make them sound If
It Is within the limits of dental skill to
do so. The work of putting these teeth In
the mouth and anchoring them la not In
the least painful.
Once In, the work takes anywhere from
two to four sittings to complete, depend
ing on the amount of work to be done.
We are promising you a NEW SET OF
TEETH, not a makeshift or a counterfeit
of teeth, which simply fill up gaps 1n be
tween your teeth. We call those affairs
"false teeth."
There Is nothing "Just as good" as the
real Alveolar Method.
Over 10,000 patients hsve been treated by
us within the past four years and we can
refer to people In all parts of this country
regarding the work. No doubt someone
you know or who lives near you la wear
ing Alveolar teeth.
We can't practice dentistry at long range.
Tou must come to us. But we aak you:
"What would a set of perfect teeth be
worth to you?"
-What would It mean In health and hap
piness, not to mention looks?
We offer you the services of our experts,
and shall be pleased to examine your
teeth free of charge or obligation If you
will call. Let curiosity bring you If you
are at all skeptical. We will overwhelm
you with such a mass of proof. If you de
mand proof, that you will want to have
the new teeth and throw away the par
tial plates and bridge you are pestered
with at present Our book, "Alveolar Den
tistry," la free.

DIVIDING THE -SCHOOL FUND
State Auditor Draws Warrant! in
Faror of the V axiom Counties.
JiOBE CASH THAN LAST TEAR
Don a las fssstr Gets Over Twenty
Eight Thonaand Dollars Rate Is
Trifle Over Seventy-One
Cents Prr Paotl.
'(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec 14 tSpeclal.) State Su
perintendent McBrien has completed the
semi-annual apportionment ' of school
money. The state auditor will draw his
warrants In favor of the various county
treasuries, who upon returning receipts
sent to them will be mailed the warrants.
The amount apportioned la 13G4.M9.S3. The
apportionment to each district Is baaed on
the school census. The 1907 census shows
870.461 persons of school age In the state.
The rate per pupil Is .714064 cents. The
school census for 1906 was 171.M6. This
falling off Is due to the agitation by State
Superintendent McBrien agalnal the pad
ding of trie school district census in the
larger towns of the state. Thla agitation,
which McBrien and others have been car
rying on, has caused a marked decrease
In the school census since 1904. Douglas
county In 104 reported 42.95$ school chil
dren; In 190 It reported 40.t4 and In 1907.
SS.937. Lancaster county reported In UN
22.2; In IX, 2O.20O, and In 1907, K.t24. Some
other towns not as large ss these two
mentioned reported a larger percentage of
decrease during these three years. The
amount apportioned to Douglas county In
December last year was $27,127.88. This year
It will receive I2S517.06. Last December
Lancaster received $13,677.59 and this De

In the district court Friday Charles
and Mllo Decker were each fined 11.100 and
costs , for soiling liquor without a license
at Maxwell. Neb. The court sentenced them
each to pay the first S&O of the fines or
stand committed to Jail until paid. The
Jury last week convicted these men on
eleven counts. They pleaded guilty on two
other counts, but thee were continued over
the term. At the time of sentencing the
defendants the court stated to them that
it was a legal Impossibility In this state
for anyone to sell liquors without a license,
and the pretense that they were eel ling or
giving- the liquors to the members of a club
would be of no avail, even If such a club
were organised. The court also scored a
couple of attorneys who organise such
clubs with the pretenae that thy were
lawful.
