"It Is reported thut the government in

If that report Is true the state, It seems to
me, could easily acquire that property,
which, I understand, includes quite a
farm. It could be altered and a fence con
structed around It and the young prisoners
could be transfored there and taught farm
work.
"These young men, while bright and
fairly educated, jlo not know how to work
or make a living. It is practically Im
possible for the young of today to learn a
trade. If he works in a shoo factory he
becomes expert in making a certain part
of the shoe, but never mukea a whole one.
If he works in a harness factory ho be
comes expert In making certain pieces, but
never makes a full set of harness. Put
these young men on a farm, teach them
to work, give them good heulth, and when
they have served their time, they will be
able to compete for -a living with any one."

State Land Commissioner . M. Eaton
will recommend in his biennial report that,
owing to the crowded condition of the state
capitol building the legislature must either
ubolish some of the new dcparlments It lias
created or fit up the basement for office
rooms, or fnove the state library and the
department of Justice to the proposed his
torical building aprons the strett from the
capitol grounds.
The latter can be done if the legislature
makes an appropriation for a historical
building lurge enough to accommodate both
the society and the department whic till is
proposed to house in the building.
Commissioner Eaton and Stfite Traasurtr
Brian will Jointly recommend that all cash
funds of state Institutions be deposited In
the state treasury and that a system be
devised whereby the superintendent of a
state institution may, after a permit to
purchase has been allowed by the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings. Issue a check
which will serve as a voucher upon which
the cash funds may bo drawn by warrant
on the state treasury.
Two years ngo the legislature required all
cash lui:ds to be deposited In the ttate
tix'nsuiy, with the exception of t to le
main In the hands of the s jperlntendent
of each Institution. This tyetem In not sat

Fight for Npeakershtp.
With Pool of Johnson county ripping
up the prairies searching for members
of the next house who are favorable to
his candidacy for speaker; Henry Oordes
of Richardson keeping a discreet silence,
though with his hands on the throttle
of a good political machine; Taylor of
Custer referring to his past services, and
Henry of Holt standing on his record
and urging recognition at the hands of
the faithful, the speakership fight is
taking on tangible shape.
With Pool's candidacy there la coupled
always the story that lie Is the especial
pride of the corporations In this scrap
and that they are for him. Gerdes of
Richardson has a large following unions
the farmers, and If the farmers organize
the house Gerdes will stand a good show
to. be the man.

"It certainly has been a blessing in
our home," writes a young lady in regard
to Posluin.
"I am one of a family of twelve, who,
before using Postum, would make a
healthy person uncomfortable by their
complaining of headache, dlsziness, sour
stomach, etc., from drinking coffee.
"r years Mother suffered from
palpitation of the heart, ilck headuche
and bad stomach and at times would be
taken violently 111 until about a year ago
.-lie quit coffee and began Postum.
"My brother was troubled with head
ache and dlzxlness all the time he drank
coffee. All those troubles of my mother
and brother have disappeared since Pcs
tum hss taken the place of coffee.
"One of my brothers declared he would
stick to coffee If it killed him. which we
thought It was doing. One day we ran j
out of coffee and being a mile rom
town we gave him Postum without say
ing what il was.
" 'My Oh!' he said, , 'the coffee Is
the best today I have ever tasted.'
"A ulster was 111 nearly all her life with
headache and heart trouble, and about '
all she cared for was coffee and tea. The
doctors tuld tier she must leave them
alone, as medicine did her no permanent
good.
"She thought nothing would take the
place of coffee until we induced her to
try Postum. Nuw her troubles are all
gone and she is a happy little woman en
joying life as peoplo should.
"I think everyone who wakes Postum
according to directions on the package
will find it a success."

the house various parties have made in
quiries regarding the whereabouts of Hnry
Richmond, who was mentioned for the
place in opposition to Trenmore Cone, who
seems to have' it nailed down. Richmond
is leaving no trail over the state and has
made practically no campaign. He has
been visiting relatives down In Texas.
That's what Mayor Jim did Just before he
was alnded on In the race for the guber
natorial contest. But Richmond's friends
say he would not take advice in the mat
ter. Thomas Darnell has given out a state
ment that the county option advocates con
trol the legislature, while Bob Fink, the
Personal Rights man says there will be
but seventeen men In the house pledged
to county option. Both sides claim the
senate, making It another case of both
sides winning in a contest.
There has been no talk of the organiza
tion o ft lie senate, because that is said to
be under the control of those people who
train with the special Interests and for that
reason It will be organized not akmg
public sentiment lines, but along the lines
laid out by the favor seeking corporations.
I'nre Food Prmrc nllon.
On complaint of Anderson & McNaughton,
merchants at Auburn, the f'vid commis
sioner has forwarded papers and requested
County Attorney English of Douglas county
to bring prosecution against Paxton & Gal
lagher of Omaha for violation of the brand
,ng clause in section 8 of the pure food law.
The complaint of Anderson & McNaughloi.
sets forth that a box of figs marked L.
contain fifty pounds contained only forty
four pounds and ten ounces, being short
weight over 10 per cent.
In letters to the Auburn firm Paxton &
Gallagher say this discrepancy In weight
Is due to the fact that figs are sold In
wholcsalti packages with an allowance of
10 ptr cent for tare In favor of the whole
sale house.
The food commissioner holds that the re
quirement to correctly label food packages
with the amount of the contents applies to
the wholesale package as well as to the re
tail package, and has advised all retail
dealers where complaints have been made
of short weight in the wholesale packavje
that such cases will be promptly refi
to county attorneys for prosecution against
the wholesaler whenever evidence by way
of affidavit is furnished setting forth the
facts in the case.
Insurance Company Withdraws,
The Mutual Surety company of New York
h:is notified Insurance Deputy Pierce that
It has witlidiawn from the state and has
so Informed Its agents. The company was
admitted to do business in Nebraska in
19 6 and has been doing business here since.
While no explanation of its withdrawal
was given It Is supposed by the Insurance
department that Its Nebraska business did
not Justify it taking out a license for the
coming year.
