LINCOLN. June S6. (Special Telegram.)
The supreme court today, st Us last sit
ting before the summer vacation, handed
down a decision reversing the disttlct
court of Hall county and permitting the
State Board of Public Lands and ButhllnfS
ta deduct a percentage of the rn;lon
money received by Inmmcs of the S-ldl-rs'
home at Grand leland.
Th? rate wan started bv an old soldier
of Hal county wha orjerted when the
h.iard changed Its practice ot yea is of de
manding all pension money tecelved over a
certain sum In return for maintenance In
the home by ordering that only a per
rentage of the money, should be pnld the
itate. varying with the amount of the pen
sion received. In reality this was to the
bfnefil of the veterans, but one of them

The action of- the clerk of the district
court of Douglas county In refusing to
make Journal entry of court decrees, and In
refusing to make records of court proceed
ings for Individuals. Is held legal by the
supreme court, In an opinion written by
Judge Barnes, chief Justice. The court
holds the clerk la compelled by law to ac
count to the county for the fee earned
by him and is responsible for ttiem and
therefore he is entitled to demand fees In
advance. Several suits were filed Involv
lng different phases of the question, and
these, after being passed upon by the lower
court, were merged In one In the supreme
court.

The Curfew Didn't Ring That Night-
George Thuman. a very prominent business
man of Oconto, about two weeks ago hired
a livery team, drove across to Lexington
and from there went to Cheyenne, Wyo.,
where he was last seen and has not been
heard from since. As near as we can leain
it is as stated helow: He was a member
of the Evangelical church at that place,
and usually rang the bell. He left the
houie, his wife thinking he was going to
ring the bell, but the bell didn't ring.
Later they learned he drove to Lexington
and then went to Cheyenne. It Is stated
that he has a good paying business at
Oconto, and also that there were no do.
meatic troubles to bolher him. It Is hoped
that things will turn out all right, but It
seems to bs creating much talk, by the
manner In which he took, his leave. Calla

Nebraska Curiosity Last week J. H.

tree., in his sand r It . It was no easy Job,
and with the united help of three teams
and scrapers towards the decline of day
the stone tree was laid bare. Its full
length measures from twelve to fourteen
feet, and Is three feet thick st one end
and two and a half feet thick at the other
end. It was burled In the sand about ten
to fifteen feet, and will probably weigh
some six or seven tons. It Is a remarkable
thing that the tree Is apparently cut square
or even at each end. It Is not Jagged at
