(From Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March Jl.-(Speclal.)-The
Phoenix 'Iron Work company of Pennsyl
vania Is trying to collect from the Board
of Control of the state puMIe school for
dependant children SI.. H ray Is due for
boilers installed la the lnttltutlnn. Ir.
P. L. Hall, chairman of the board, said
tha money had been paid to Qeorge V.
Ballard, who acted as agant for the com
pany, at tha time the contract waa let
and who haa since rone to Salt Lake City.
Tha company haa a letter from Ballard to
tha effect that the bou-d did not pay him.
Tha company says the contract was mado
with It while Dr. Hall, chairman, and
A. I Wentherly. secretary, said the con
tract waa made with Ballard, and that the
'board Is not respoeelhle for the money If
Ballard' did not pay the company. Dr.
Hall was asked to show the copy of the
contract, but he refused and referred Inter
viewers to his attorneys, Clark and Allen.
Mr. Allen ssld the contract was made
directly with Ballard and that Ballard gave
ft surety bond for Its fulfilment.
Ballard Always Agent.
This same company has done several Jobs
for the State Board of Publlo Lands anj
Buildings, and while Ballard has acted as
VHi agent an these occasions the company
Vitt always given the bond for the fulfill
ment , of the contract . and the warrants
have been Issued In the name of the com
pany. The books of the auditor show that war
rants have been issued to Ballard to the
amount of tZ,W0. two vouchers reading; for
partial payment on Installation of heating
plant and one for 40 for boilers for heat
ing plant.
The company has challenged the right
of the board to pay any money to Ballard
and It claims the contract was mado in
its name, so It Is a question who Is re
eponelble to the company.
This board grew out of one of the Job
bills passad by the late democrntlo legis
lature. To create jobs for democrats the
legislature legislated out of existence the
Home for the Friendless, which was uAcler
the control of the 8tate Board of Public
Lands and Buildings, and created the State
Publlo School for Dependent Children,
Governor . Bhallenberger by the law was
riven authority to name this board. He
named It
Letter of Company.
The letter from the company to Secretary
of State Junkln says:
"We wish to ask if you can assist us
In getting payment- for two boilers which
we furnished the state school for dependent
children. The contract price was $1,206
end the contract was accepted September
10, 1306, signed 'Board of Control, State
Publlo School for Dependent Children,
Arthur L. Weatherby, secretary.' George
V. Ballard who had an office in the
Security Mutual Life building, took this
order, and has recently moved to Saft
Lake City, and writes us from there that
th5' did not fwa-ntOoo. tha money.,Ml'-ttat
'it is owning' td neJ. Clark and Allen, attor
neys for Lincoln,' have Just telegraphed us
that Ballard was paid for the boilers and
for the Installation of same; and we wish
to take means to protect ourselves at the
very earliest possible moment. We do not
understand . why the money should have
been paid to Ballard, as the contract was
'.made In our name, and we have their
signature.' You very kindly referred on
'a previous occasion to Dr. Hall, the chair
man of the board, and reply came through
Clark and Allen, attorneys. If this matter
lb within your jurisdiction, and you can
assist us la getting the money to which
we are entitled, we assure you your as
Jstance will be very much appreciated."
j Not Governor's Fight.

tions from Blue Springs and Wymore, pro

Major Lord Off
on His Test Drill
With Lieutenant Miller as Pacemaker
the Paymaster Will Walk
Forty-Five Miles.
Major Herbert P. Lord, chief paymaster
of the Department of the Missouri, started
out on his " physlcul -ndurnnce walk of
forty-five miles Monday morning, with
Lieutenant Troup Miller as pacemaker.
Major Lord was detailed to make this
hike last fall or tackle a ninety-mile horso
back ride, so he chose the pedestrlun stunt,
but up to the present has been unable to
secure a pacemaker.
Major Lord and Lieutenant Miller walked
fifteen miles Monday and a like distance
Tuesday and Wednesday, thus covering
the forty-five miles.
There has been considerable perturbation
over at army headquarters ever since
Major Lord has been under walking orders
among the staff officers as to who should
DRUNK SPEEDS BOY UP TILL
HE LOSES TEN POUNDS
Yoan Milkman Decides He Doesn't
Want Any More of That Kind
of I.lqaor.
"Whoop, ay bane hal of a gude fayler
and ay don't care who knows It," sang
Peter Nelson, a young Swede as he swung
around a corner In his milk wagon on Six
teenth street and barely missed capsizing
an Italian fruit psddlcr's cart.
"Ay bane Swede boy and ay like to drive
fast."
Just then a big policeman spied the
careening milk cart and dodging a deluge
of cream and milk brought the young man
to a stop. He was locked up, charged with
being drunk and driving faBter than was
conductive to public safety.
When he appeared before Judge Craw
ford he was extremely docile, and, In
answer to a question from the court as to
how he liked pulling off a spree, said:
"Ay don't like it, yudge. Ay los' ten
pound from dat one drunk an if you skal
let me go, ay will try and git dom dack."
"Back to the milk cart," sold the Judge,
"but don't come In here again."

HARRIMAN LINES UNDISTURBED
Recent Decision In FTor ot Hill Re
garded as of Small Slgr
nlfleance. Harrtman officials profess to care little
for the recent ruling on the question of
the Portland gateway by which it was de
cided that the Hill lines did not have to
enter a traffic agreement with the Harrt
man lines to use Hill tracks to Seattle nor
to recognize through tickets to Seattle on
which the Harrlman lines had made the
long haul to Portland.
"The need of that open gateway Is
passed," said W. H. Murray, assistant
general passenger agent of the Union Pa
cific. "We now have our own tracks from
Portland Into Seattle and can run our
own cars and haul our own passengers
all the way. The Oregon A Washington
Is a Harrlman line."
HUSTLING THERM0P0LIS LINE
General Passenger Agent Wakeley Is
Confident Burlington Will Reach
There by July 1.
"By the first of July the Burlington will
have Its cars running Into Thermopolls,
the hot springs resort In the Big Horn
basin, and for the first time this place will
be connected by rail with the outside
world."
So asserts General Passenger Agent L.
W. Wakeley of the Burlington Route.
For some time the road has been con
structing Its tracks In the direction of
Thermopolls, which at present must be
reached by means of a stage coach route.
The town has about 1,200 people, electric
lights and a water system, and the en
trance of the railroad will mean another
big boom. '

Any Woman Can
Have Beautiful Hair
(From French Beauty Monthly.)
"No woman should use water upon her
hair oftener. than once In two months,"
says M. Fournler, the noted French sci
entist. "Dry powder only should be used.
Moisture causes the hojr to lose 1U color
and In time become thin.
"Any woman desiring abundant, lus
trous hair should use a dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four ounces
of powdered orris root with four ounces
of therox. Sprinkle about a tablespoon-
ful of this mixture thoroughly through
the hair. This will keep It light and
fluffy, and beautifully lustrous. You will
soon see new hair starting to grow. This
treatment Is the only thing that I am
sure will produce a growth of hair.
"While plain orris root is tfted as a dry
shampoo by many women, still, no such
results can be obtained as by using the
formula I have given." Adv.
