One of the Important matters that wllM
come before the convention of the Ne
braska Federation of Women's Clubs next
week, at Lincoln, will be the scholarship
at the University of Nebraska for the
daughter of a dab woman, to be provided
by the olub women of tne state. It had
been hoped by the educational committee of
the federation to extend this privilege this
fall in time so that the beneficiary might
enter the university at the beginning of
thk term. Failure of the clubs to respond
with their pledges, however, made this
Impossible,. so the matter will be presented
again at the Lincoln meeting. It was an
nounced by the educational committee that
3."i0 would be necessary to establish the
scholarship, and It was proposed to raise
the money by a voluntary per capita tax
of t cents In all the clubs of the state.
Only ten clubs. Including the Omaha and
Lincoln organisations, responded. The other
clubs of the slate were not heard from.
YVhlla a (-cent per capita tax may seem but
V trifle to ask. It should be remembered by
those who' have criticised that It Is also one
of the most popular systems of raising
money and Is used by many other organ
isations of the states besides the clubs. In
consequence the average club woman's as
sessment during- - tho year frequently
amounts to a great deal more than 5 cents.
The educational committee appreciates this
fact, so deemed It best to have the schol
arship thoroughlyunderstood so that the
women might be prepared to meet Us de
mand. Mrs. F. M. Hal) of Lincoln, chairman of
the stato committee of the Toung v omen s

MORE STEERERS IN THE NET
Another BnnrBt of Workers Among;
the 'Mikes" Nabbed In flan
Francisco.
According to San Francisco papers three
of the smoothest steerers of "Mikes" In
Mabray'a bunsh have been roralled near
San Francisco by postofflce Inspectors.
They are Russell B. Herrlman. Frank W.
Brown and Edward C. Moore. All three
are Included In the Indictments found by
the grand Jury at Council Bluffs.
Postoffloe Inspector James O'Connell and
Inspectors W. F. Allman and C. 8. Ranger
of St. Louis have spent considerable time
reading the letters and papers they found
In the rooms of the captured men. Over
200 letters so far have been discovered
which give proof of the schemes on which
the men were engaged In connection with
James C. Mabray, leader of the gang, who
was arrested In Arkansas.
"Among other Information we have re
ceived," said Inspector Ranger, quoted by
the San Francisco Chronicle,, "we have
heard of a prominent cltlsen of San An
tonio, Tex., who. after having been
trimmed out of $15,000, actually went back
to his town and raised tU.OOO, which he
again Invested In their scheme and lost.
He was taken In with the fake wrestling
match game, and after ho had lost his
money he waa told that It was too bad,
but that If he would raise some more
money he would have a chance to get back
what he bad lost and some mora in addi
tion. The fake match was pulled off In
New Orleans, and the easy mark went
back to San Antonio, where he mortgaged
his borne and borrowed every cent he could
until he raised $17,000, which, of course,
went the same way as the preceding sum.
Altogether, with what he had spent on
training and other expenses, he was out
about $37,000."
John C. Smith, another of the steerers
under indictment, waa captured at Streator,
III., last Saturday It Is alleged that
Smith, while serving aa police magistrate
of Streator about two years ago, acted aa
"steerer" and accompanied James Tlerney,
a Streator Junk dealer, to New Orleans,
where, Tlerney aaserU, he waa relieved of
$10,000 aa financial backer of a bogus
wrestling match. Thomas Oajr, a local
wrestler, is said to have aided la the
steering and la alleged to have been one
of the contestants In the match, which.
It la declared, was arranged by Mabray
and his associates.

LAWYER H0LMIS LEAVES PRISON
Had Only Three Months More to
Serve and Was Counted n Trusty,
Bat Takes Advantage of
His Liberties.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 7. (Special.) For the
first time since 24 the state of Nebraska
has an outstanding debt. This afternoon
a debt of $1,000 In the form of registered
state warrants appeared on Treasurer Bri
an's books. There not being enough money
In the general fund or the fund for the re
demption of outstanding warrants, the
treasurer had to buy the warrants pre
sented to him by using trust fund, the
same as waa done for years prior to June
24, when there were no warrants registered.
The State Board of Assessment mado no
levy for the redemption fund when It met
during the last summer because there was
then no apparent need of It. If county
treasurers remit all that Is due the state
Treasurer Brian believes the state debt
can be wiped out till December 1. when
taxes on the new levy will begin to come
In. The state debt was over $2,000,000 a few-
years ago.
Trusty Prisoner Escapes.
With only three months yet to serve
before the expiration of his sentence, a
Douglas county convict named W. H.
Holmes, who .had been a trusty for some
time, made his escape on Tuesday from
the custody of State Penitentiary Steward
S. P. Carlln and haa not yet been recap
tured. The steward brought him to Lin
coln that day to have his eye treated for
a cataract or some similar trouble. Holmes
was taken, to the office of an oculist in
tho Richard's block, and as the latter was
not In at the time Steward Carlln went
across to Rudge & Ouenzel's to buy some
blankets, leaving the prisoner in the of
fice. When he returbed, Holmes was not
there, Photogrtphs of the convict have
been sent out to officers all over this part
of the state, but no tidings of him has
been received. Warden Smith Is Inclined
to thing he may be hiding somewhere In
Lincoln.
Holmes was found guilty of embezzle
ment from an estate while acting as Its
lawyer. His sentence was fixed at two
years. During the last seven months he
has been working on the outside of the
prison enclosure most of the .time and
showed no disposition to escape. It was
for this reason that tho steward left him
alone at the oculist's office. If Holmes Is
recaptured, he will lose the good time
which was credited to him and will have
to serve about six months more.

John C.' Watson, one of the leading
attorneys of this city, last evening filed a
suit In the district court against l'ayne &
McCallum, who own avJ operate a livery
stable. He charges that they refused to
send him a hack when he ordered It and
have repeatedly Ignored his orders for
vehicles and thereby caused him great luss
and mental anguish. The suit Is a peculiar
one and Is brought for the purpose of as
certaining whether or not a livery stable
keeper and one who runs a general hack
and 'bus Una are not required to send
vehicles when they are ordered and de
pended upon by the public. The defend
ants own the only hsck and 'bus line in
the city and on them the citizens have to
depend when they want to make trains or
go to and from various parts of the city.

PARIS, Oct. 7,-Edgar W. Mix of Co
lumbus, O., the winner of the international
balloon race for the Gordon Hennett trophy,
which started from Zurich Sunday, haa sent
the following account of his memorable
voyage to the Associated Press. His dis
patch Is dated Warsaw:
"Leaving Zurich Sunday at S:57 p. m., wt
were able to recognise our route only as
far as Constance. Thence to the finish the
weather was so thick that direction could
only be determined by compass. During
Sunday the balloon, In a drenching rain,
sometimes seemed to be at a complete
standstill. We ascended and descended In
search of better currents of air, without
appreciable results. By 4 o'clock In the
morning half of our ballast had been used.
"The passage of the Bavarian Alps,
through rain and clouds, was thrilling.
Once we swooped down the mountain side
with frightful velocity, plunging Into a
chasm of fog which seemed bottomless. It
was as If the earth had opened to swallow
us up. The balloon several times crasher1
hrough the tree tops. After two hours we
emerged from the valley and got a north
easterly slant of wind. When clear of the
mountains we moved at a lively rate. The
guide rope dragged over farm houses,
breaking tiles and chimneys. The peasants
rushed out with cries and Imprecations.
Passes Over KonlRatndt.
"We then found that the guide rope had
been unravelled and hoisted It Into the bas
ket for repairs, which were most difficult,
as we were working hard with the balloon
to prevent It from rising. A fw hours
later we recognized several villages, and
then the town of Konlgstadt. We sighted
a balloon to the eastward with peasants
hang'n onto the guide rope.
"After passing over Konlgstadt, which
cost three sacks of ballast, we rose through
the clouds to an altitude of 4.6O0 meters
(about 15,000 feet) and saw above the cloud
a balloon to the north, about 100 meters
higher. We began to descend at 1:40 p. m ,
emerging from the clouds about 460 meters
above the town of Waldenburg, and were
obliged A Jettison eleven sacks of ballast
and half of our provisions to keep clear of
the roofs, but as It was, the guide rope
dragged over the wires of the fortress and
railroad station, creating consternation
among the yelling population.
"We rose again to 2,800 meters near Bres
lau. throwing overboard the life savers
mattresses and the remainder of our pro
visions. Gradually we continued to descend
after that altitude until 6 p. m. With good
equilibrium we managed to keep afloat
until 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, without
expenditure of ballast, of which, as a mat
ter of fact, there was not an ounce left.
Lands Between Pine Trees.
"The balloon landed and became wedged
between pine trees In the forest of Gustova.
We waited until 6:30 before deflating and
then searched for help. We found peasants,
ono of whom had been In America and
spoke a little English. With their aid we
loaded the balloon on carts. While this
was In progress a forest guard wantonly
killed one of the peasant's dogs, arousing
great Indignation. We accompanied the
owner to the proprietor of the estate to
lodge a complaint and found a peasant
woman speaking a little French, who regis
tered an entry of our landing In our log
book. While the peasants were conveying
the balloon to Ostrolenko the woman gave
us a primitive meal of potatoes and water.
'On our arrival at Ostrolenko we were
stopped by the police, who took us, to
gether with the balloon, to the station,
where we remained until Instructions were
received from St. Petersburg for our re
lease. We were treated excellently."
Salem tup Goes to Puhl.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 7.-8. Louis Puhl, pilot,
and Joseph M. O'Reilly, aide of the bal
loon St. Louis III, unofficially winners of
the Lahm cup and a $000 prize offered by
the Aero club of St. LouIb, who landed
in their balloon at Waukon, Minn., arrived
In St. Paul late today.
Awaiting them here was a telegram from
E. A. Faust of St. Louis, reading:
'Unofficially you are the wlnnears of the
Centennial and Lahm cup. We all send
congratulations."
The aeronauts brought with them their
big gas bag, which they overhauled here
and packed it for shipment to St. Louis,
whither they went tonight.
Speaking of their trip, Mr. von Puhl said
regarding the raising of the question that
he was not qualified for the race:

won the cup or not, I entered into the race
for the sport and I have the satisfaction
of knowing that I made the longest flight.
"We left St. Louis at 4:50 o'clock Monday
afternoon, the second to go up, and landed
at Waukon, near Mllle Lac, at 9:35 o'clock
Wednesday morning. I attribute my suc
cess to the fact that I . kept close to the
ground, while the others ook high alti
tudes. The trip was an uneventful one, ex
cept that we circled over Glaagow, Mo.,
three times on account of adverse cur
rents, and we thought we were hoodooed
there.
Fast Trip Across Iowa.
We threw over everything we could to
get higher and began to head for Kansas
City. We thought we were going to sweep
acrosB Nebraska, but during the night a
northern breeze caught us and we began to
cross Iowa like a streak, Tuesday night.
When daylleht came we hardly knew
where we were. We must have traveled
at a rate of fifty miles an hour for a tlmo.
"When we got into the vicinity of Mllle
Lac lake, we thought it Lake Superior. We
were about 1,000 feet up and did not think
it safe to cross. We shouted to a farmer
to learn our location and he told us what
county we were In, but that did not help
us as our map did not show counties. He
informed us that we would be safe In
crossing, but as we had only an orange
between us In the way of food and as we
were hungry, having had nothing to eat
since the afternoon before, we decided to
land. We shot toward land at a terrific
rate, but landed in some marsh grass In
good condition."

BANK OF ENGLAND DISCOUNT
RAISED TO THREE PER CENT
(Needs of ForeJsa Commerce. To
a-ether with Appearnne of Large
QuiSnllty of Paper, Cause.
LONDON J Oct. 7 The governors of the
Bank of Etigland today raised the mini
mum discount rats from 2V4 per cent to t
per cent. This Is- the first change since
April 1, last, when It was reduced from
3 per cent.
It was - decided to raise the rate to
8 per cent owing to the large Inroads on
the bank's reserve already made by exports
to Egypt for the financing of the cotton
crop, and by the Argentina withdrawals.
The governors were unable to offset these
by fresh arrivals from the mlifes owing to
the sustained demand from Russia, which
absorbed available) quantities week after
week, preventing the bank from building
up the reserve.
A fresh element In the strength how
ever, undoubtedly helping the directors to
this decision Is yesterday's decline In New
York exchange on London, the recent
shaip rise In money and tha calling of
loans In New York which probably will
necessitate the withdrawal of ' gold from
that quarter against finance paper which
had been placed here some time ago
and the number of fresh bills', still com
ing forward. Tho higher, rate, .'although It
was expected soon, was not generally
looked for today. The increased rats had
little effect -on the stock exchange be
yonu a fractional easing In American se
curities, operators generally considering S
per cent a good working rate.

Mr. Francis Sheppard, of Scran
ton, Pa., says that he was left so
weak after an attack of typhoid
fever that he could scarcely
walk. He took Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey; one Ibottle put
him on his feet. The second bot
tle gave him his old-time vigor
and strength. He recommends it
to all who are weak arid need
something to build them up.
"Having read a reat dual about Duf
fy's Pure Malt Whiskey, I decided to
try It, and cannot prase It too much.
During the typhoid epidemic In our city
two years ago I happened to be ona of
the victims (one of the lucky victims,
thank God.) It left roe in such a weak
condition that I was Bcarcely able to
walk. Thanks to Duffy's 'pure Malt
Whiskey, after taking one bottle of it I
was able to go to my work. After tho
second bottle I can Bay 1 am entirely
well. I think there is nothing equal to
it, and would recommend it to any one
who is run down with fever or any other
disease. Although I do 'not drink li
quor in any form. I do recommend Duf
fy's Pure Male Whiskey as per direc
tions." Francis Sheppard, Scranton, Pa,
