DIES OF PARALYTIC STROKE
O. O, Hammond of ramaee City Em
pires la Train! for Omaha
Meet.
LINCOLN. March 7. (Special. -Q. O.
Hammond of Pawnee City, a prominent
University of Nebraska athlete, died early
this morning from a stroke of paralysis,
which he suffered last Friday. He was a
Junior In the engineering college of the
university.
Last spring Hammond competed for the
Cornhuskers In the track meets with Min
nesota and Kansas. He was a high Jumper
and pole vaulter. He was expected to be
one of the leading track athletes for this
spring.
Hammond was a gymnast also and would
have been a member of the Nebraska gym
nastic team that will compete In the West
ern Intercollegiate meet at Minneapolis
next month. Last winter he took part In
the western meet that was held In Lin
coln. Unll last week Hammond was, apparently
in good health and was training for the
tract meet at Omaha and for the local
gymnastic contests. During the early days
of the week he complained of feeling 111
and declared that he could achieve but
small success In his attempts at pole vault
ing and high Jumping. He retired to bed
early Friday night at his rooms In this
city, and early In the morning was found
lying on the floor of his room suffering
from a paralytic stroke. The lower half of

on the wire fence in going through It, caus
ing It to discharge. He Had lain there

There seems no possible chance for his
recovery and hla death Is expected at any
time.
May Repair Old Co art Hoase.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., March 7.-(Speclal.)
The question of building a new court
house at Broken Bow stands where it did
(mediately after the fire. The levy, calling
for a better structure, was turned down by
the people with a vote of 2,235 for, and
2,434 against. As no new propositions have
been advanced so far to better the situa
tion, the affair seems to be up to the
county supervisors to repair the old court
house as well as circumstances will permit
and provide some suitable and safe place
for the county records. The Insurance
money could be utilized and the balance
drawn from the general fund with the
statutory provision. Such is the opinion of
County Attorney Gadd, backed by the at
torney general of the state, whose opinion
was also asked. The county dlvlslonista
made a strenuous fight against the levy,
which was clearly demonstrated by the
largo majorities that were railed up in
each division stronghold; but there were
many antls who turned down the levy who
were misinformed and led to believe that
the levy would be made, on the actual
valuation Instead of the assessed valuation
of property.

THE SATISFACTION OF LIFE
Dr. Edwin II. Jesks Examines Into
What It Mar Be.
Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, occupied the
pulpit Sunday morr lng at St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church. He
preached on "The Satisfaction of Life."
Prefacing his sermon Dr. Jenks called
attention to the Laymen's Missionary
movement, urging all to unite In the work
to make the coming convention the great
est of all religious awakenings In Omaha.
He emphasized the Importance of mis
sionary endeavor in spreading the gospel
and explained the objects of the Laymen's
Missionary movement in furthering the
work.
In the fifteenth verse of the seventeenth
Psalm are theso words: "As for me I will
behold thy face in righteousness; I shall
be satisfied, when I awake with thy
likeness." y .
This Is a part of the prayer of David,
whom Dr. Jenks called the greatest war
rior, the greatest general and the greatest
king of his age.
"When are we satisfied?" asked the
preacher. "Are we satisfied when we have
what we want?
"We hear the father say that he will be
satisfied when he has given his sons a
college education, and we hear mothers
say they will be satisfied when their
daughters are married. We hear others
say that they will be satisfied when they
realize ambition.
"We may read a serial story. If a
chapter ends abruptly we are not satis
fied fhere. We eagerly await the de
velopments of the next chapter and the
next. Even when we reach the word
'finis' we are not satisfied, for we want to
know what happens next; we, want to
know the sequel to the story.
"Look at David. Wa hear wonderful
tales of his career. He was a brave war
rior, a champion, a great general and the
greatest king of his age. He was the first
In. all. But was ha satisfied in having
what he wanted? He said In his prayer,
'I shall be satisfied, when I awake with
thy likeness."
"In the great work of this life we are
going to get satisfaction outof the work
Itself, not out of the things that It brings
us. Satisfaction comes in the struggle. In
the aspiration. In the anticipation of what
is to come. We are strong because the
satisfaction of life Is within us.
"Satisfaction In life, then, Is not In
satiety or In having what we want. Satis
faction in life does not come from lay
ing down burdens. It Is not what we have
that gives satisfaction. Satisfaction in life

tended that as the business of the offices

not see It that way. They assedt that so
far as the tend office work at Lemon Is
concerned, only about 6 per cent of the
public lands In the Lemon district are lo

collector of Interns! revenue Is concerned,
about 76 per ctnt of the revenue collected
comes from South Dakota. Though there
are Just now no changes to be made In
any of the offices mentioned. It j safe
to say that should vacancies occur, Messrs.

to take a back seat.
Representative Burke of South Dakota
today secured the passage through the

or as an amendment to the Indian appro
priation bill. It la however, assured of
passage, being of Interest to many persons,
not only in Tripp county, but In Nebraska

Letter from Constituent.
Following is a copy of a letter recently
received by Judge Kinkald from the pre

"Reposing special confidence In your
ability and Integrity, and being further
prompted by a general favorably expressed
sentiment of voters In our respective coun
ties In this congressional district commend

congressman, and, realizing the fact that
you are a logical ' standard bearer who
can, with a degree of certainty be success
ful at the polls next November, as you
were two years ago. la face of the strong
est political opposition caused largely by
the so-called 'Bryan campaign, we beg
leave to submit that aside from the loss
the people would sustain in the matter of
legislation and their various manifold In
terests by your .retirement from congress.
It would also be detrimental to the party
Interests. ' r ' " "
"We further submM ttiat 4t will give us
plrasure as representatives of the republi

details necessary for the propef placing of
your fame before the people a candl

Have the kindness to advise at your earliest

you." -
An extract from a letter written by a
prominent Sixth dlstrlot republican loader
to another leader. Inquiring of him, 1 Mr.
Kinkald would be a candidate for re
election says:
"No, I have no information whether or
not Mr. Kinkald will be a candidate for
ccngrees, but my Judgment Is he will be.
As to conditions In this county, all repub
licans are for Kinkald. Every leader, every
wcrker of the party, and the rank and file
are for him. Kinkald can be re-elected if
nominated and I believe If he Is a candi

think it unwise to talk any other candidate

IIALF-MINUTE STORE-TALK
A man recently referred to this as the "Forward Store."" Wi didn't
understand his meaning and asked for an explanation. He wild: "When
I first visited It I thought It ao nearly perfect and Its methods such an
advance over what had been In vogue that no Improvement would be
f'osslble. 1 rtmpmWrril many stores that had put forth troM efforts
n the beginning onlv t" lroo to the commonplace la a 4tiort time. I
thought hlstorv would repent Itself here. Hut I notire little Improve
ments everv time I come In. A store that shows prOEresn In a forward
store." Come to think of it we never did hesr anvone y this store
was going backward. Na store rsn stand still, hence th.1 a rnust, of a
truth, be a forward store.
