banded In and read by the secretary of
the senate this morning and adopted. The
report Is n severe castlgatlan of ex- Su
perintendent Manuel and calls on the at

against the former superintendent for the j
recovery of money unaccounted for. The
report Is as follows: I
Your special committee appointed to In

boys' Industrial school at Kearney beg
leave to submit the following report, viz:
The method of bookkeeping' at this In

The Institution has nt all times frbm

The law provldea that each head of an
Institution shall make a tecmlsltton for
supplies each month, but Mr. Manuel did
not trust the state board and found It
necessary to expend $1,079.1$ for trips to
Lincoln for buying purposes.
Land Commissioner K. u. cowies or'

out authority, ordered another, and henqe
the state has a pump costing $12o on hand

The meat account for 1912. while the
state has plenty of hogs and cattle to
Hupply the Institution with meat, amounts
to $4,375.71.

Mr. Manuel ls a believer In i educing
the high cost of living and hence sold
everything cheap. On September 27, 1910.
he sold thirty-two calves, 6 nnd 7 months
old, and eight cows, for $115, or $10.30 u
head, being about 2 cents per pound or
one-half of their value. This sale was
made to a son of one of the employes.
The testimony before this committee

A single trip to Chicago by Mr. Manuel
cost the state $125.
It cost the state over $1,000 to buy paper

and Don't Know It
There are scores of nervous, tired, tun

dizzy spells, weaknesses of the bladder
(frequently causing annoyance at nlgnt),
who fall to realize the seriousness of
their troubles until such conditions as
chronic rheumatism, bladder trouble,
Jropsy, diabetes or even Bright' dis

All this is due to weak, Inactive kid

the blood, and no one can be well and
healthy unless the kidneys work prop
erly. It Is even more important than
that the bowels move regularly.
If you suffer with such symptoms don't
neglect yourself another day and run the

GOVERNOR M0REHEAD
DESIGNATES ARBOR DAY
(From n Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 10. - (Speclal.)-Gov-ernor
Morehead has designated Tuesday,
April 22, as Arbor day anil calls upon
public schools and all citizens to observe
the day by setting out trees and other
wise keeping up the spirit or the day.
The proclamation reads:
The law makers or thl state have set
aside April 22 of each year as a holi
day, to be known as Arbor day. In keep
ing with this wise piovlslon, 1 recommend
to all citizens of the state, that Tuesdav.
April 22, 1913, be given over to the plant
ing of trees nnd shrubs. . The Idea of
setting aside a- da' for this purpose had
Its birth In Nebraska, but has now be
come nation wide. Let US hope that
the spirit; which prompted us to take tho
lead, still lives In all Itn vigor and will
characterize the observance of the day.
1 suggest that the public schools espe
cially devote a portion of that day to
exercises In keeping with tho spirit of
the day. In order that the youth of tho
state may develop a love of the beautiful
and as they grow to manhood and to
womanhood, this love of beauty may de
velop In them.

Br JOHN O. WETMOKE
An announcement of no small moment
to the automobile fraternity Is made to
day in the advertising columns of The
KvenlnK Mall. It Is none other than that
thn B, K Goodrich C ompany has made a
reduction In the prices of Ooodrich tires.
Officials of the Ooodrich Company de
clare that it Is reasonable to assume that
the example set by this powerful member
of the tiro making Industry will be fol
lowed by the other makers,
No explanation or reasons why are
given in this announcement, but with
crude rubber selling at a somewhat
lower figure than that prevailing for a
year or more past, and the constant de-1
vlplng and application of new higher ef
ficiency methods of tire manufacture. I
the reduced Goodrich tire prices are but I
a natural outcome and show the willing
tiess of a great corporation to give the
.buying public the benofits derived from '
changed and Improved conditions
I understand that the reduction betters '
the present price to the user 5 per cent.
This, coupled with the reduction first put
Into effect by the same company nearly
a year ago, enables the purchase of tires
by the user now at a material saving
over prices prevailing prior to April of
last year, New York Evening Mail, ,
