W rather costly ornament to the state. Some

V claim 'of Luther P. Ludden. secretary

Going the work of that office. He asked
the opinion af the attorney general on the
question and was Informed that the claim
k was legal and should be paid. Then the
w governor and his oil Inspector got into
the case and Instructed the attorney general
to fight the payment of tb4 claim.
T In the meantime a mandamus was asked
at the hands of the Lancaster district
court to compel the auditor to pay that
claim. ' Tha district court ordered the
claim paid. Now the governor has asked
tha attorney general to consent to the ap
peal of the case. The state has to pay the
coats In the Lancaster district court and If
it loses will have to pay In the supreme
Court.
This suit followed the failure of the gov
amor to oust the State Normal board
through a legislative action. Ludden la a
member of that board and is the only
" member that the governor can reach. Mr.
Loddeo has paid out some 1175 of his own

Johnson, a former Beatrice girl, which oc
curred yesterday at Anderson, Ind. Tainted
strawberries are supposed to have causeo

the young woman became violently ill and
died almost before medical aid could reach
her. The patch from which the straw
berries were picked was close to a potato
patch, and as parts green had been
sprinkled on the vines it ls thought some
of the polsoa had reached the berries and
tainted them. The deceased was 17 years
of age and left Beatrice about a year ago.
At the time of hr death she was attend
ing the Gospel Trumpet Home at Ander

FINE ART JN REPORTING
Speclmeat of Descriptive Wrltlag
with BelchlnsT Etaa far a
abject.
Mr. Rudyard Kipling aays somewhere
that he traveled half around the world
to got from a man who had gone down
on the deck of a sinking ship a descrip
tion of how the water looked when It
olosed In above the bulwarks. As we re
member It, he found that the line of glit
tering water broke like a taut banjo string.
In vivd minutiae of this character the
art of descriptive writing haa one of its
strongholds. From Sicily we have had gan
aral accounts of the eruption of Etna, but
the details which might paint the picture
before our mind's eye have not been plent
ful. Consider how clearly the following
paragraphs from the special correspondence
of the London Dally News make it all
stand forth:
"Having turned two red, bare, oonloal
hills, which overlook Nioolosi, you come In
sight of the flank of Etna. Tha mountain.

"You see a subtle red line flowing down
the side of the mountain like a luminous
stream; then near the valley It changes
color until it hardens and darkens like an
ugly heap of eoals midway. The stream
at first threatened Nicolosl, but then it
turned In another direction.
"The lava advances slowly, and looks
like a moving wall. It ts curious to see
how it deals with the obstacles It meets
on Its way. I saw two stone huts carried
away for several yards like boats; then
suddenly they were engulfed by the mol
ten torrent. Trees stem to feel the near
lng of the lava just as dogs aad horses feel
the Imminence of earthquake. They creak.
twist their leaves, give out their gray sap
In a sort of perspiration; then, when the
lava Is on them, you see a flash and noth

If this Is not an example of the busi
ness of reporting transmuted Into a fine
art, we greatly miss our guess. Chicago

"Hello, hello, ls this Dr. Binks? Tes.
doctor, our dog ls sick seems to have
fever wish you'd come over right away.
All right, gooa-bye."
This alleged fragment from telephone con
versation is a myth. That is. no such con
versation actually occurred in so many
worda Tet, for the purpose of Illustrating
the growing fad for giving medical atten
tion to dogs. It is herein set forth and,
after all, there isn't so very much ex
aggeration about 1L
The rapid Increase of veterinary prac
tice in this country within thelast dozen
years is well worth a passing thought. Not
so very long ago, when the family dog
fell 111, he was left to get well aa best
he could. Of course, everybody was sorry
If Bowser had distemper that's the only
name dog disease used to have but there
was never a thought of calling a doctor.
Now-a-days, dogs have long latinegque
names for their ailments, much after the
fashion of men and women, and the mo
ment Fldo shows symptoms of uneasy feel
ing, straightway goes a telephone call to !
the doctor.
The practice of the old-time veterinarian
was limited mainly to horses. Moreover,
the o. t. veterinarian conducted his prac
tice aa a side issue, for there was seldom
enough of it to yield a living alone. Some
times he was also a proprietor of a livery
stable, or, perhaps, he owned a feed store.
He might have one professional call a
month or he might have two, but certain
It' was that day after day brought no call
at all. '
Now witness tha changel Tour veterinary
surgeon la no longer the keeper of a foed
store. Neither does he operate a livery
stable. Instead, he has an offloe down
town and a classy residence out on the
hiil. A gold leaf sign of dignified design
attached to residence front proclaims the
profession of the dweller therein, and on
the wall there hangs a berlbboned diploma
attesting that Dr. Hoandso has finished his
veterinary course and that he went forth
from his alma mater with cum laude li
cense to make sick animals well. The vet
erinarian of today is on the ascendency.
Tear by year, his profession yes, it la
clearly a profesaslon now becomes more
remunerative and more dignified.
The dog population of Omaha and other
cities Is perhaps no greater than It was
ten years ago. But be that aa It may,
the owners of dogs are more prosperous
than they ever were before, and it is
therefore easy, since the doctor idea Is so
firmly set, for the veterinarian to make
his fee. One veterinarian who lives In a
tid.0M home In the Walnut Htn district
told a Bee reporter that he averaged from
six to ten dog calls a day. From I1.M to
12.60 per call is the average fee. owing to
distance and the nature of tha case, so It
will be seen at this rate that there Is good
money In being a veterinarian. And here's
another feature of veterinary practice that
la well worth consideration: The doctor
who watts on your sick child ls expected
to say nothing about his bill for at least
a month or two, but the man who rushes
out to see Fldo finds nothing In his code
of ethics to prevent him from collecting
his fee then and there.
So, with dogs coming down with clrocls
of the liver, fatty degeneration of the
heart, mitral regurgitation, lumbago,
Brlght's disease, anlna pectoris, locomotor
ataxia and other complaints, why shouldn't
the dog doctor live In a ie,0W house?

The title of this book tskes Its signifi
cance from the opening scene, wherein a
young woman, who has traveled from Van
couver to England to find her relatives,
staggers exhausted at midnight out of the
darkness and storm into a farm house, and,
because she is who she is, changes the
fate of the two people whom she finds
there. Its love story is entangled with
serious and tragic complications, and many
of Its incidents, although they are of the
typical English village, go down to the raw
of human emotion. '
