'LINCOLN. Oct. 23. (Special. )Not only
have the democratic employes of the state
been called upon to come across with a
portion of their wares to be spent by the
democratic state committee In converting
republicans to the democratic ticket under
the guise of a nonpartisan judiciary, but
the men themselves are now compelled to
Bet out and hustle.
Lr Matthews, thief , clerk In the office
of ."Javernr Shallenberger, has been away
fiom'- hls desk so Ions; that his ovn most
i Intimate friends would hardly recognize
I hlrnahould he return suddenly.
The records I nthe office of the state
I audi tie show that Mr. Matthews drew his
I warrant for his September salary, but has
I not been here to draw any since. He Is
i said to be on a vacation by the people In
the governor's office or a member of his
force, but as a matter of fact the last
heard from Mr. Matthews was at Colum
I bus,-jerking-like a beaver In the demo-
f cratlc headquarters.
It w a. sine work that Mr. Matthews did
. In the democratic headquarters a year ago
that ogt htm his job with the governor
and It Is the same kind of work that Is
holding his job for him now.
Whether Governor Shallenberger will pay
Mr. Matthews his monthly stipend of $125
out of state funds while he Is working
for the democratio state committee Is
question about which ( here Is little doubt
There Is no doubt that the chief clerk will
file a. voucher sworn to that he has earned
the' $125 during October by working for
the state, notwithstanding he la being kept
at Columbus looking after the governor's

5 No Prohibition Jadaea.
H I. Staple, candidate for supreme judge,
has notified Secretary of State Junkln that
he'.declines the nomination at the hands of
the: prohibition party and asks that his
name be left off the oflcial ballot. As the
deellnatlon of A. O. Wolfenbarger, another
prohibition candidate, had already been
received, this leaves the prohibitionists to
: vols for the candidates of some other party
for-Bupreme Judge. Secretary Junkln se,nt
outi letters this afternoon to the various
coiioty clerks, notifying them not to print

ANTI-DIVISION IST8 GET BUSY
Election Day In Caster to Be Liveliest
One In leers.
BROKEN BOW. Neb.. Oct. 23.-(Spe-clal.)
During the latter part of the
campaign, the all absorbing toplo seems to
be county division. In all parts of the
county the subject Is being studied and
discussed with an earnestness never be
fore displayed. The people are much In
terested In the auditor's report of the
county bonds that the various counties of
Nebraska have had since the organization
of the state. It has been demonstrated
that not a county as small as the proposed
couny of Higglns has ever escaped without
bonds. Higglns Is the name of one of the
proposed new counties to be set off from
Custer at the coming election. Many who
have made a study of the question are
urftng that county division will greatly
Increase the taxes and farmers living at a
distance from the towns, which expect
to become county seats will, as a rule,
strongly oppose division.
Another feature they are seriously con
sidering Is th salailes of four sets of
county officers and the additional expense
of maintaining four counties, which will
cost from $16,000 to $20,000 more under
division than it does now. Also the
transcribing of the records and the build
ing of new court houses Is another addi
tional expense; this Item alone figuring
up to over $100,000.
Custer county has never been bonded and
It looks as If It was Impossible to get
along without bonds In each of the new
counties. If division carries. Election day
will probably see one of the hottest county
fights ever held In the state.
Ao to Falls from Bridge.
NEBRASKA CITT, Neb., Oct. 23. (Spe
cial.) John Ballerman, a young farmer re
siding ten miles southwest of this city,
started for home last evening accompanied

plunged down the embankment, a fall of
twenty feet. The fall threw the mother
out onto a pile of brush, thus saving her
life, and the machine turned over and
rolled down the bank with Ballerman. He
had one arm broken In three places, one
hand waa mashed, he was badly cut about
the face and It Is feared was Injured In
ternally. The machine continued down

ANOTHER WELCOME
EXTENDED W.C.T.U.
Not to be outdone in extending the hand
of welcome to the visiting Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union, some of the
German societies by their officers have
addressed the following to the members of
the convention now In session here to re
mind them that temperance and prohibition
are not necessarily the same:
We, the undersigned German societies of
Nebraska, Oiu ou welcome. With six
separate organizations, and a membership
of over 3,uuu, we consider ourselves to be
representative of the many thousands oi
German-Americans of tula state, and as
such proclaim our ardent support of the
cause of true temperance, temperance not
only In drink, but temperance in thought,
speech and action, and temperance also in
relation to proposed restrictions of personal
rights.
we welcome you as co-workers In the
cause of temperance, and know that people
of your superior intelligence and sincerity
will not confound true temperance w.lu
political prohibition and asceticism. While
we German-Americans preach and practice
temperance, we are opposed to legislative
acts, and to agitation tor legislative acts,
attempting to prescribe undue restrictions
of Individual freedom In personal habits.
We point with pride to a lecent editorial
In Collier's as follows: "Various young
men have asked why we think the study
of German so important. The reason is,
that the Germans are leaders In many
very important departments of modern
thought, and much of the most valuable
contemporary material In science, history,
philosophy and economics is accessible only
to those able to read the German lan
guage." We know you do not belong to, or uphold,
those who in their misguided seal have
caused Innocent children, too small to
think or act for themselves, to march In
so-called temperance but In reality prohi
bition parades, with Inscribed banners, the
meaning of which they could not compre
hend. You would not be guilty of making
a little boy carry, as but recently occuired.
a banner, reading: "My father Is a drunk
ard," when the father, a very respectable
and temperate traveling man, having Just
returned home. Incidentally viewed the
parade, only to see himself thua defamed
and his child most shamefully Imposed
upon.
We are told that you Intend holding a
temperance parade, and ai we, the German-Americans
of thl. s'.ate, also advo
cate true temperance and are In sympathy
with your noble work, we would appreciate
to be given an opportunity to participate In

promotion of true temperance, provided,
of course, you will give us sufficient time
to make the necessary arrangements, and
also that you will permit us to carry ban
ners Inscribed thus:
"True temperance In speech, thought and
action."
"True temperance does not mean total
abstinence."
"Prohibition la the greatest foe to real
temperance," etc.
We know you will gladly avail yourselves
of thla assistance to the good cause, and
will appoint a time and place where a
committee of our ladles may wait upon you
to arrange for the details of owr proposal.
You will be glad, we feel confident, to ac
cept this opportunity to Inform the public
that temperance means moderation, as
defined In our dictionaries, while political
prohibition Is a mere form of Intolerance,
the antithesis of Christian doctrine.
We welcome you to Nebraska, a state
blessed with what Is generally conceded
to be one of the best license laws In the
United States; a law which the misguided
efforts of the prohibitionists would dis
place with a prohibition statute, and would
thus exchange the well regulated, legal
sale for the unregulated surreptitious
traffic, which In all prohibition territory
haa proven so disastrous to real temperance
and good morals.
We know that you are too Intelligent to
endorse such prohibition fallacies, which
have never yet and never will promote
the cause of true temperance, the cardinal
virtue to whose support you are pledged.
Ws welcome you again, with our con
fidence that your deliberations while In
our midst will be guided by wisdom and
true Christian temperate thought, and that
ymi will reach no conclusions that would
necessitate a change of the name of your
glorious Institution to "Prohibition I'nlon."
Awaiting your reply, we remain with our
highest regards,

have set people thinking about the future
of cur meat supplies. One of these events
Is the rapidly advancing price of live stock
at home, owing largely to the Induction In
the supply of cattle and swine. The other
Is the advent on a large scale of American
meat producing companies Into the Argen
tine export trade. Meanwhile the advance
In the prices of this class of foodstuffs
has brought up the question of the possi
bility of the United States changing from
an exporting to an Importing country In
the world's meat trade.
Stranger things have come to pass. It
would, not be surprising If within a half
decade we were to find our large meat
trusts in Argentina delivering carcasses of
refrigerated beef from that country at
the ports of the I'nlted 8tates. Ons reason
for such a possibility lies la the rapid
rate at which ranch lands for forage and

STREETS
pasture are being converted Into farms In
the west,
A continuous period of high prices for
meats will no doubt have one or two con
sequences. It will either put a premium on
the growing of live slock through the
east, west and aouth or It will have the
effect of reducing the consumption of meat
as a component part of the food -of tho
people. Hitherto after the breaking up of
the range system of cattle production there
has always come a period of shortage re
corded In higher prices. A newer live stock-
economy has gradually come into vogue
causing a return to lower prices In due
time. But with rapid strides of population
a more complete readjustment Is again
necessary.
Whatever else that change may Involve
It will require that the farms of the coun
try Incorporate the fattening of swine and
cattle as a larger part of their business.
There are nearly 7,000,000 farms in the
United States, and their live stock possibili
ties, In the majority of cases, are barely
begun. There Is no doubt that at a given
price the country can have all the meat
it wants.
