LINCOLN. Aug. 11. (Speclal.)-Thes last

sold to 'parties that intended to keep them
In the neighborhood in which they had been
brought up or owned. The party selling
the stock had to pay the" fee for the exam

Governor for Metcalfe.
Tl Is absolutely no doubt about it
nouW there ever has been any, that Mr.
Hitchcock Is out of it, so far as Governor
Shallenbarger Is eoncerned.
At the Shallenberger-Metcalfe banquet at
Aurora last night the valves were turned
on full and Arthur Mullen, the principal
spogeaman for the governor and his prin
cipal political adviser, Came out flat footed
for Metcalfe. .
"Metcalf should be nominated,' he said,
"and if he Is nominated he will be elected.
Iam for Metcalfe because for twenty years
he has fought the battles of democracy and
fought for' democratic candidates. When
Shallenberger signed the 8 o'clock closing
law It was Metcalfe that gave him endorse
ment and stood up for him when others
were criticising him. I am for him, not
only because he Is a demlcrat and a Shal
lenberger democrat, but because he Is
worthy; becauset be Is both my political
and my personal friend and because he will
be elected if nominated ,

BOTTLE FLOATED ACROSS SEA
Cast Adrift Off tke Carolina, It 1
Picked Up la tke Asore Tkre
Year Later.
Floating sluggishly at th mercy of the
wave for over three year, a pint whisky
bottl. containing the address of Wthiam
H. Wlndolph of Philadelphia traveled
across the Atlantic ocean and was finally
picked up off the eastern coast about five
week ago.
Th wayward travels of the little bottle
ar most mysterious. It crossed the At
lantic, or at least reached the other shore;
whether Its course was straight eastward
or whether currents and winds took It
mtjfs in detour before It reached it des
tination Is a subject of conjecture.
On January 21, 1907, Mr. Wlndolph on
his way to Tampa and Key West passed
down the cosst of the Carolina in a
Merchants' and Miners' steamship, the
Merrlrnae. Off North Carolina in an idle
moment he put his card within a whisky
bottle, and pushing In the cork against the
rail of tha vessel, toosed It overboard.
Until it disappeared from sight In the green
waves Mr. Wlnthrop watched the tiny ad
venturer, never thinking to hear from It
again.
The year passed, and finally, thres and
one-half year after the eard had been
sent out en th sea, a atrange letter came
te him from the fishing firm of Manuel
Vascenselles Co., Spain. Within the en
velope was the same card which he had
sent out, unstained by th water, uninjured
after It long veyare.
With the eard was a letter stating that
It had been picked up In a whisky bottl
off the eastern eoaat of th Azores, In th
prevlnee ef Praia, by on of th crew of
ef fishing smack D. Carlo, DeLonta, cap
tain. Th letter wa In excellent English,
but from the style had evidently been writ
ten by an educated Spaniard. It did not
tat th exaet date ef the finding ef th
bottl.
Twe weeks ago, Mr. Wlndolph sent
back, la appreciation, a diamond stick pin
te th finder, and a plctur ef hlmelf and

Taesday Evening.
Nebraska ha capitulated and the build
ing Inspector of Omaha Is triumphantly
vindicated.
The state will go before the city council
at the next meeting and meekly ask that
It be excused from paying a fee for taking
out a permit for the M5.000 gymnasium
now under way at the state institute for
the deaf and dumb, and, in the meantime,
the man In charge of the construction will
submit plans and specifications to Mr.
Wlthnell's office to have them approved.
George A. Apaul, the contractor for the
state Job, refused to submit his plans
and ask for a permit, and the building In
spector said that the next carpenter or
mason to move a tool would land In Jail.
The contractor was scornful, being strong
In the authority of the attorney general
and claiming numberless precedent for
state Job, which brooked no Interference
from city authorities.
The state has never been allowed to work
In Omaha without a permit, however, and
Thursday morning a policeman accom
panied Deputy Building Inspector Maus
out to the scene of action to see that it
should not so disregard the laws.
The embodiment of authority In the shape
of an offleer was enough, and the superin
tendent of the building promised to send
the plans in for inspection Kridy morning.
The building Inspector, having won his
point, was willing to be gererous, and gave
permission for the work to continue. To
avoid paying the $28 fee the request of the
state to be exempt will be filed with the
oity council for special action.
Will Aak for Permit.
Attorney General Thompson has written
to the city attorney of Omaha setting out
his Ideas of the demand of tho city for the
state to take out a building permit for the
construction of the gymnasium at the Insti
tute for the Dearf. Mr. Thompson said In
his letter that in bis opinion the state was
not required to take out a permit, aa the
ordinance referred to persons, firms and
corporations, and the state was none of
these. Ho said, however, that If the city
council did not agree with hi views the
state would gladly request the permit If the
council would waive the fee. It was re
ported here that if the request was made
the council would do this.
It was talked this morning that the legal
department would get busy and enjoin the
city from Interfering with the construction
of the building, but later, acting upon i
suggestion from Omaha, Mr. Thompson con
eluded to act as he did.

DOCTOR RECOMMENDED THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
"When I waa ten or twelve year old
I had a scalp disease, something like
scald-head, though it wasn't that. I
suffered for several months and most of
my hair came out. Finally they had a
doctor to see me and he recommended
the Cuticura Remedies. They cured me
