The Annual Clearing Sale that the Women of Omaha and all the Surrounding Territory Have Been Waiting and Watching for
V
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, lec. 2& (Special.) The
committee appointed to draft a working
man's compensation bill Is scheduled to
meet at the governor rooms In the capi
tal at 2 p. in., Thursday, December 28.
The committee Is composed of Represen
tative I. D. Kvans of Kenesaw; Victor
Rosewater, F. I. Klliek and A. C. Welt
sell of Omaha; Frank M. Coffey. C. D.
Traphagen and Rev. A. L. Weatherley
of Lincoln. This Is the first meeting of
the commission since It was appointed
and It Is expected the organsatlon will be
perfected and the first steps be taken
toward formulating a bill.
Books the Boy a Like.
The state library commission has been
collecting theoplnlons of the boys at the
Kearney Industrial school on the various
books bought for the school library. The
books originally purchased for the library
had become worn or had disappeared and
last January a new assortment was pur
chased. From the comments of the boys
It appears that books on travels, ad
venture and outdoor life In Its various
forms have the call over fiction, and
the fiction that has any popularity gen
erally deals with outdoor life. Biography,
especially the books dealing with lead
ing Americans, comes next In rank, the
lives of Washington and Lincoln being
especially mentioned by the boys as help
ful and Interesting.
Cartla on the Map.
Members of the Board of Publlo Lands
and Bindings, who located the state ex
periment farm at Curtis were remembered
Christmas by large calendars for 1512,
sent out by a Curtis bank.
Most of the officers and employes of
the state house arrived this morning
from spending Christmas day at their
old homes, but a few, among them Audi
tor Barton and Secretary Mellor of the
Board of Agriculture did not arrive un
til afternoon. Those who remained In
the city for the holiday were on hand,
apparaently none the worse for the cele
bration and all reporting having had an
enjoyable time. The public, evidently
had not recovered from the occasion, for
there was little In the morning mall to
requires attention.
Dclsell's Speaking- Dates.
State Superintendent Delsell has a
number of speaking dates In the near
future, the first one being tomorrow
at Beatrice, where ho addresses the boys
interested in agricultural competition.
At that time prizes will be awarded to
Gage county boys who entered the 1911
competition. January 8 he speaks at
Western on school topics; January , 10
and 11 he will be in Omaha and speak
before the Rural Life commission and
January 12 before a farmers' institute
at Dlller.
Number of State Employes.
In response to a query from John C.
Black, secretary of the National Civil
Service commission, Governor Aldrtch
has reported on the number of state em
ployes, exclusive of members of the
militia. He reports that 861 on the state
payroll In all capacities and the number
of men subject to military duty as l.K),
OnO. The number of county officials
is given as 1.203. The commission de
sired the number of municipal employes,
but this the governor was unable to
furnish.
Pardon to Alfred Jones.
The governor today issued a pardon
to Alfred Jones, on recommendation of
the pardon board. Jonea Is pardoned
because he is afflicted with tuberculosis
and there is no hope for him if he re
mains In prison. He was sent up from
Douglas county March 8, 190S, on a
charge of laroeny.
Cost to Keep State Wards.
The following figures have been com
piled of the amount appropriated for the
vatlous state Institutions, the amount
used to date and the cost per capita of
maintaining the various Institutions. As
mentioned In these columns several days
ago, with one-third of the period expired
practloally all bad. used up more than
33 per cent of the' appropriation, but In
the case of only one was tho excess large
and there was every reason to believe
the final expenditures could bs kept
within the appropriations without crip
pling the institutions.
The most interesting feature of the
figures is the per capita cost of the
various, institutions, which Is as follows
for the six months' period: Hastings
asylum, ISS.16; Lincoln asylum, 179.45;
Norfolk asylum, 197.16; state penitentiary,
SS9.S6; Soldiers' home. Grand Island,
3121.60; dependent children, 46.62; School
for the Deaf, J37.40; School for Blind,
1137.41 Industrial home, Milford, 390.98;
Girls' Industrial, Geneva, 3127.07; feeble
minded, eBatrice, $75.07; boys' school,
3150.61; Soldiers' home, Milford, 1113.30;
Orthopedic hospital, 3257.07.
The great discrepancy in the per capita
cost at the various institutions, it is
pointed out, is largely due to the char
acter of the Inmates and the proportion
of caring 'for' the institution which they
can themselves perform.
Court Rescinds Order.
The supreme court this afternoon or
dered Judge Raper of eliatrice to rescind

weary, depressed; or are

was based on what the court considers
the unwarranted use of the word "jcus-
tody," holding that the court could not
give the custody of the, girl into the

met with the approval of Judge Raper,
The girl Informed Judge llaper In writ
ing that she deslrel to make such visit
and the Judge decreed that she might
do so on condition that she return to St.

William Sayles of
Plattsmoutu Shot
by Henry Burrows
PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Dec. -(Spe
cial.) William Salyes, an ex-Burllngton
locomotive engineer, who was fatally shot
Sunday evening about b o'clock by Henry
Burrows, died In St. Joseph's hospital
Monday evening at 6 o'clock. After
firing the contents of a shotgun Into
the body of Sayles, Burrows went to
the nearest neighbor, one Miller's, and
telephoned to the sheriff what he had
done and asked the sherrlff to come and
take him to Jail.
The charge was fired at close range
and entered Sayles' breast tearing a
large portion of the. flesh away and en
tering his lungs. The wounded man was
brought to town and kept until Monday
morning, when he was taken to Omaha
for treatment.
There seems to have been slight cause
for the shooting. If any at all, except
that the men were drinking. The sheriff
was Informed that at the time the shoot
ing occurred Sayles was lying down In his
own house, when Burrows came in, hav
ing his gun, but no game in sight
Sayes Inquired, "Where is your rabbit?"
whereupon Burrows raised his gun and
said as he fired, "You are my rabbit."
Burrows Is said to have stated to by
standers at the Jail that "If people
thought he would not fight they were
mistaken," and Intimated that he and
Sayles had quarreled In the forenoon ou
Sunday.

LOCKE'S NOVEL
"Stella Maris" begins in the January Cen
tury. Star of the Sea, an odd name truly, but
it is right, for, from her great room Stella
Blount looks out over the sea with all its
thousand changes, and her friends make it
all a part of Fairyland for her. That is her
world and in it she is the queen, gracious as Fairyland
queens are. The story has situations and incidents unique
and fascinating, and in them are characters that are noble
and winning and clever; it has humor and fantasy and pathos
and sunshine and generous love. You will enjoy "Stella
Maris" more than any of Mr. Locke's other books.
PRESIDENT TAFT
as firm a friend of peace as the country has,
elaborates his arbitration policy in the same
issue of The Century with a completeness that
the watchers of world interests will welcome.
His article is straightforward and authorita
tive and it will meet The Century readers'
expectation that the Magazine will give them living thought
on American history in the making as it has in the past.
