(Special Tele gram.) The inftnf court holds that aiiprnprlstlons made by the late legisla ture for tlie Stste public School for I)e irnilcnt CHldrcn nre nreclflo appropria tion" for the Home for the Friendless. The writ of rvandamiM was tsued requiring Htalo Auditor Burton to issue warrant en vo-iclir filed by the superintendent of the Home for the Friendless for the llivtiifnt of salaries of the employes. I Hie late legislature provided by law for a - . r u r f Ih n i 1 nf the ttnm fnr flli . , ... . . j-, V li tirtlrs to State Public School for IV- , M pciident Children. This law goes Into cr frct July I. The legislature made no ap propriation for the support of the Home for the Friendless, but did for the school, uhleh mould leave the home without funds from March to July J, when the home goes out of txlitence. The opinion written by Judge Root takes the view that the legislature Intended lo clisnae the name, but continue the Insti tution of the Home for the Friendless. JuW;e t'.oie Ulcsentlnff. concurs In what he call the "spirit of kindness" In which the writ Is allowed, but dissents from the proposition of law on which the Judgment Is based. J mine Hone says no specific appropriation was mude under the head of the "State Public. School of Jilncoln" .to pay the wanes of present employes at tlfe Home for the Friendless for the month of April, and strict adherence to the con stitutional, provision relating to the dis bursement of public funds Is necessary to the proper financial management of the state government. "I fear the precedent established," he says, "will be cited in the future to Justify the misapplication or public funds and the wrongdoing of pub lic officers." Myra E. Brlsras Wins Salt.

A value-giving store is one where you feel you don't have to match wits with a clever salesman to get a square deal. , This is a value-giving store values are always bar gains, but bargains not always values. Some stores prosper by advertis ing bargain sales almost weekly, under some pretext or other. They buy anything and sell anything, just so the price seems low enough and their customers usually have a feeling akin to the fellow who plays the lottery "The chances are against me, but Til beat 'em some day."
