(From a. Htaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. 11. 8peclal )-'County
ontttm does not put In a saloon nor take
Out a saloon.' mid Chairman H"neUer
of the republican atatc committee. "On
presenting a petition to the county board
with the legal number of signatures all
the voters of any county may cay whether
thy do want a saloon or whether they do
not want one.
"At present all the villages, towns and
cities In Nebraska haveoptlon. The tax
payers outside of the towns are required
to pay court expenses and assist In the
maintenance of jails and penitentiaries,
thereby forcing- them Into the position of
being taxed without representation and
virtually disfranchised.
"Should the coming legislature pass the
county option law any county not voting
on the proposition afterwards would re
tain the Klocumb law and I o'clock closing
law, as at present. It Is eminently fair
to let Douglas county have what It wants
and at the same time let the outside coun
ties have what they want, which both
could get by a majority vote of their own
people. Let all the people rule.
"The democratic platform stands for the
Initiative and referendum, which will give
all the counties the right to vote on the
liquor question the same as county option.
Hence, county option does not restrict per
sonal liberty, It enlarges It."
Postal Clerks' Expenses.
Senator Burkett's well-known Interest in
the proposition of securing an expense al
lowance for railway postal clerks while
they are away from home on duty led
him to take the matter up with the post-
office department reoenthy to find how the
now law was working. The last congress
appropriated 1200,000 for the above purpose,
though It was limited to not to exceed 7B
cents per day. The law passed provided
the allowance should be for expenses in
curred by clerks while on duty, after twelve
hours from the time of beginning their
Initial run.
The department baa advised Senator Bur-
kett that the amount appropriated Is not
sufficient to pay the full expenses of the
clerks, even with the limitation of 76 cents
per day per' clerk. The department Is en
gaged In making statement! showing the
actual expenditure of each clerk In the
service subject to the limitation prescribed
by the act, and It Is proposed to make
allowances In such proportion as the
amount of the appropriation bears to the
entire amount of. expenditures computed
on the basis Indicated by the law. Pay
rolls are now being prepared, and the de
partment expect to make payments some
time this month for the quarter ending
September SO, 1910.

COUNTY FIGHT .IX YORK
Slae of Board of Supervisors Promises
to Bo Iasae.
YORK. Neb.. Oct. 11. iSpecial.) When
It was learned that . P. Hovey, an
expert accountant from Lincoln, w
auditing the records of the county board,
many wondered If he was here for the
purpose of finding discrepancies and
errors, or merely to examine the records
of the county officers. It eeems that a
few members of the county board have
employed Mr. Hovey and he will receive
bis pay from them and not from the
county.
The reason for Mr. Hovey's coming Is
due to an article recently published by
members of tha present oounty . board-In
which they made the statement that the
coBt to York county of maintaining a
county board of twenty members In
stead of five had been the means of sav
Ing York county considerable money
Members of the bid county board had W
W. Wyokoff of this city examined records
and recently a statement, containing a
financial statement, was printed showing
that the expense of the present large
county board and the approbations made
were considerable In excess of that of the
years when there were only five mem
bers.
Instances were cited where members of
the present board paid a bridge con
tractor twice for the same county bridge.
This was discovered by the deputy county
clerk. Petitions are being circulated all
over the countv on which are hundreds
of names petitioning for the right to vote
for five members of the county board In
stead of the present large number and as
the present board looks at this proposi
tion as being a slap at them they will
fight a decrease of membership.

Big Land Sale
to Help Indians
Sixty-Eight Tracts Disposed of by
Bids at Winnebago Agency
Good Prices Offered.
WINNEBAGO, Neb., Oct. 11 (Special.)
A big land sale was held yesterday at the
Winnebago aaencv in which sixty-eight
pieces of Inherited and non-competent
Indian land were sold. Sealed bids havo
been received for some time on this land
and there was keen comoetltion.
It was mostly all (rood agricultural land
lying close to market and was bought
mostly by those who plan to develop it
Into homes. The climate Is particularly
favorable for the production of corn and
small grain and the croDS now on the
ground present an encouraging appearance.
This land is being sold to secure funds
with which to improve the allotments of
the various Indian owners by building
good houses and barns and fences, and
also for the purchase of teams and tools
to be used In farming.
The price was from 90 per acre down
and was highly satisfactory, as much of
the land was not Improved, while quite a
little of it was raw prairie or even brush
land. Investors from Omaha, Sioux City,
Pender and many other neax-by towns wore
among the bidders.
The proceeds of the sale, which will
mount into the hundreds of thousands of
dollars, will fit up many an Indian farmer
with everything needful for the successful
farming of his allotment and surround
him with many of the comforts as well
as the necessities of - life. In addition to
this It will dot the reservation over with
progressive white farmers who, by their
example, will be a source of benefit to the
Indians. By swapping work with and
helping Uie white farmers at odd times it
Is hoped that Jhe Indians may catch the
spirit of thrift and become money making
farmers, as Indeed many of them already
have done.
Superintendent A. H. Kneale seemed
highly pleased with the sale and consid
ered It a success In every particular.

Another Record
at South Omaha
Made by bheep
When Market Closed Receipts Fig
ured 63,714, 75 Per Cent
Being Feeders.
South Omaha stockyards experienced a
phenomenal run of sheep yesterday, beat
ing the record of September 26 and estab
lishing a world's record if the hours of
sale of the Chicago market are to be
taken as a standard. When the market
closed at 3 p. m. 63,714 sheep had been
placed In the yards against 63,215 on Sep
tember 26.
Two days subsequent to the receipt of
this enormous fonslgnment, September 2S,
the Chicago mrrket had a. run of W.160,
making a new world's record. But the
Chicago market does not close .until 5 p. m.
and if the 5,000 outside yesterday after
noon, and which could have been yarded
by that hour, were added yesterday's total
would be brought up to 69,314. an adance
upon the Chicago receipts of over 8,000.
It was a day of big things all over at
the stock yards. In addition to the thous
ands of sheep handled, 12.075 head of cattle
were disposed of, taking altogether 800
cars to carry the live stock that sought
South Omaha as Its destination. As to
prices best grades of sheep were steady
but others were slow to sell and the fig
ures were lower. Cattle to kill were also
steady, with feeders a tr;ne tower. About
seventy-five per cent of the sheep were
feeders.
ABERDEEN RATE HEARING

Represented at the Interstate Commerce
commission grain rate hearing at Aber

mission, the South Dakota Millers' asso

Superior (Wis.) Board of Trade and Com
mercial club, the Minneapolis Traffio asso
ciation and the Duluth Commercial club.
All the railroads enteflnV; the, state are
also represented by then- attorneys and
their general freight agents. A number
of commercial clubs of South Dakota sent
representatives who desired to have the
present freight rates Investlagted, as well
as the proposed Increase in grain rates,
effective November L but C. R. Hlllyer,
who Is conducting the hearing on behalf of
the Interstate Commerce commission, de
cided this was not the proper time or place
to go Into the matter an dthe request was
refused.
nl taking up the Investigation proper
the defendant railroads declared the roads
entering South Dakota were not receiving
the proportionate share of interest and
dividends on their investments In this state
by $250,000 a year and contended the pro
posed raise In grain rates was necessary
to bring the Income from South Dakota
business up to that received from other
states on the same amount of capital In
vested. They contend the Increase In
wages and the Increased cost of material
used In railroad construction, make It nec
essary to raise rates to keep the Income
above the expense of conducting and main
taining the railroads.
