The wealthy seldom immigrate. So fierce was the conflict in subduing the frontier of Nebraska that none but the stout hearted undertook and carried out the daring experiment. It matters not, whether in this year or the years to follow, when you chance to look over this beautiful, prosperous state, covered with thrifty tarms and happy homes, with rail roads, towns and cities, pause for one brief moment to give praise unto the daring pioneers, to whom you are greatly indebted for the bountiful blessings which you today enjoy. .

This announcement was made Tuesday by Lysle I. Abbott, attorney for and one Of the candidates of the league. "There are eight grounds on which n contest of election cin be based." said MY. Abbott. "The paragraph on which we will base our contest is four.d In section 3,'.'T4 of the compiled statutes of Nebraska and reads: 'When Illegal votes have been re ceived or legal votes have been rejected." "tn placing the republican and democratic candidates In brackets at the head of the list of candidates for the board on th" ballot and vnters being given the privilege of voting for a set of four candidates. Il legal votes were received Inasmuch as these voters did not have to scan the entire ballot to find the candidates In question as did those who voted for the league candidates. The names of the league can didates were scattered and the voting was not fair." The Anti-Saloon league candidates will Me their bonds with the city clerk before May 24. the dale when the new officers must qualify, and the contests will be In stituted within twenty days from the time the official canvass was completed.

Professional Men Give to Corn Show Doctors, Lawyers and Others Donate Liberally to Support the Na tional Exposition. Professional men are standing up for Omaha and standing up for Nebraska by donating liberally to the National Corn ex position of 19t9. During the week several hundred dollars have been sent to Secretary' T. F. Sturgess by the lawyers, doctors, dentists and other professional men. Under the present financial plan It is a straight donation in most cases and not a slock subscription. As soon as the professional men learned what was wanted they got out their check books and went to work. The money has been coming in in various amounts ranging for Sl to $300 and a large fund has been created which will help out materially in the promotion work. Work has begun on the catalogue for next year and the report of the 1S08 ex position will soon be out.

Good as Another Police Station So Sayi Captain Mostyn, Talking of the New Automobile Now in Service. Lawrence Morse, an automobile expert tn the employ of the White Steamer com pany, is In Omaha for the purpose of giving Instruction to members of the police force In running the new machine just received by the department. It Is prob able that at hast six officers will be desig nated to receive such instruction in order that there may always be a competent chauffeur at hand. The new machine was given Its first night tryout last evening when a party consisting of Captain Mostyn, Detectives Heltfeidt and Donahue and Emergency Officer Reigelman, with Mr. Morse at the wheel, made a trip over the west part of the city, going as far as the Emergency hospital. Captain Mostyn gives it aa his opinion that the addition of this machine to the equipment of the department is equal to the building of an additional police sta tion, as wi;h It the entire city may be covered In a minimum time and "hurry" calls can be made at a rate which will practically double the, efficiency of the force. THE QUESTION OF THE DAY It Has Never Yet Had a Itcurrtfnl Affirmative Answer. "Is your life insured?" If you should ask all of your acquaintances tins ques tion you would unquestionably be surprised to learn how many of them are carrying insure ne. You would, to be sure, receive some negative responses, for while there is none who will deny that life insurance Is a good thing to have, everybody that ought to be insured Is not so jet. However, the number of affirmative replies would undoubtedly be a rewlMion of the popu larity of life insurance lis a permanent, ap preciated necessity. This Is In strong con trast to whnt would have been the case even a third of a century ago, when in surants were comparative rarities, and few of them had any higher incentive In the lilei than might be found In connection with some speculative Investment. The dif ference between then and now is that the value of regular, or standard life Insurance is no more questioned than the Intrinsic worth of virgin gold, nor the duty of being insured any more debatable than the value nf bodily health or earthly happiness. Hence it is that so many are now within the protective fold, and that the multitude is growing greater, year bv year. The In tegrity of life Insurance and the obligation to be Insured Is so well established that at no distant time It ran be assumed that the non-insurant will be such an exception to the general rule of sigaeious men as to injure hla own social and business stand ing.
