E11 results of the law passed by the
legislature in 1911 making precinct nses
aorshlps elective offices are being felt it
Omaha. Complaints about a number '
the fifty-four deputy assessors have t-eei.
received and tha Hoard of County Com
mlssloners has authorized the naming of
substitutes for tr.-o cr them.
County Assessor Harry O. Counsman
was allowed by tha board to hire Joseph
M. Lets and Samuel Motz to do the work
of P. n. Slltz and Patrick Desmond, who.
although three weeks of the eight allowod
by law for assessment have elapsed, have
made no returns, Stlltz and Desmond
cannot be separated from the pay rob
without court proceedings, but the substi
tutes will be hired to do their work
KfNplcm)' thp Test.
The present legislature authorized the
appointment of deputies by the county
assessor and eliminated their names from
the ballot, so Assessor Counstnan in the
future will l)o able to choose his assist
ants on the basis of efficiency.
Stlltz's territory Is from Leavenworth
to Center, between Thirty-third street
and the city limits. Desmond's Is from
Leavenworth to the Union Pacific tracks,
between Sixteenth and Twenty-fourth
streets.
Stlltz is 81 years old. He is incapable
of working and has been thn recipient of
public charity, according to Assessor
Counsman, for some time. The assessor's
office has received complaints that his
actions nnd words are offensive. Des
mond is said to have been Inactive.
Assessor Counsman Is concerned be
cause failure to complete assessment
work means a loss to the county. His
efforts are hindered by the fact that he
is not even acquainted with many of hl
deputies and has no effectual control over
them.
GIVE CHILD AN ALLOWANCE
Accounting for Certain Amount of
Money Beneficial to Boy
and Girl.
Are you teaching your children how to
spend money?
This Is a plea for an allowance for
every child In every home of whatever
means. The father who can hand only
a penny to his child on pay clay should
make the sift regularly and teach the
child to make that penny mean tome
thing In return. Tho parents who clve
n daughter G cents each Sunday Tor tho
collection plate, a treat at tho confec
tionery store each pay day and on each
Saturday a happy afternoon at the mov
ing picture theater should hand tho
amount of these three regular expendi
tures to tho child on a given day In the
form of an allowance to bo accounted tor.
Tho nickel must be saved for church;
but If tho child chooses to spend the bal
ance for a toy or a treat to her com
panions, then there can be no visit to
the soda fountain with mother and no
afternoon at the picture theater. Just
the moment the child realizes that
money spent Impulsively on something
to be regretted later means the curtail
ment of a regular pleasure, she will nave
had her first lesson in the elasticity of
a fixed income, the true money vaiuo.
The regularity of an allowance has a
steadying effect on a child's nature, ihe
boy who la given a nickel for running an
errand or for blacking father's boots will
think that tomorrow may bring another
errand or a convenient rain may muudy
the boots. So ho spends the reward ot
spasmodic labor with a reckless hand and
waits, Mlcawber-like, for something to
turn up. But If that boy Is paid 10 cents
a week to keep father's boots pollshea,
iv cents more ior delivering milk to a
neighbor four blocks away and still an.
other dime for keeping tho front side
walk clean, he will immediately begin
to balance his earnings and his desires.
I am writing now of the average boy,
the easy-going, perhaps a trifle extrava
gant boy. The miserly boy needs no les-
son m economy. Rather ha must ho
taught the Joy In sensible spending,
especially In generosity to others. But
the average boy, with his 30 cents a
week, will learn Just how much or how
little his 30 cents will buy and wnat he
must do to earn It He will discover that
a dollar ball glove means more tnan
three weeks' woric. And If Ms father Is
the right sort the boy will find that he
can't draw ahead on his allowance with
out denying himself things the wsak no
allowance 's forthcoming. Pictorial Re

nanulr.K Sap Still the Marvel of
Nature' Knicliicerlnff
Skill.
How the raw sap travels from the ab
sorbing roots beneath the ground to the
topmost twig on an oak or elm tree, more
than 100 feet above, and to nearly four
or five times that height In the case of
some of the mammoth gum trees (euca
lyptus) of tho Tasmanlan forests, and In
the gigantic Welllngtonla of California,
has long puzzled the physicist to explain.
The old Idea that capllarlty Is the factor
at work, tho fluid being conveyed up the
trunk and branches after the manner of
oil through the wick of a lamp, becomes
an altogether Inadequate explanation.
Especially Is this ro when we realize that.
In some of the Internal tissues of the
stem, the pressuro exerted reaches from
eight to twenty atmospheres, or In other
words, from 120 to 300 pounds to the
square Inch a force greater than that In
the boiler of a railway engine.
This mighty pressure, scattered more or
less irregularly through the tissues of
the tree, drives the sap to the buds and
forces them open, expands thtilr leaves,
and Is constantly at work wherever the
process of building new structures u go
ing on. It Is obvious, therefore, that the
engineering arrangements for the con
ducting and controlling of this powerful
Btream of life-giving sap mutt bo very
perfectly organized. Indeed, they are
more than that; they present marvels of
mechanical construction which are not
only mechanical on account of their per
fection, but are so minute that man can
only penetrate the mysteries and beauty
of their structure by means of high-power
microscopes and careful chemical Investi
gations. Kven then he Is left baffled and
wondering. Strand Magazine.

WRITE ABOUT TEMPERANCE
Tho offer of the local Women's Chris
tian Temperance union to give $M) In
prizes for tho best essays written on the
question of prohibition by the students
at the University of Omaha has brought
to tho front many youthful advocates of
total abstinence. In addition to creating
sentiment among tho students tho fnc
ulty of the university Is highly pleased
with the proposition una lias made It
obligatory for students taking rhetoric
to produce essays on this questln. Ordi
narily each student In the department
of constructive English must hand In
at the end of the second semester a long
theme, and feeling that the prohibition
movement Is a worthy one the decision
has been made that each student shall
choose as his subject some phase of tho
question of suppression of tho liquor
traffic.
In addition to those In tho English de

CHURCH BUILJIN TEN H0URS
Australian Town I'linllenites the
World with Notable Speed
necord.
One of the most remarkable building
feats on record has Just been accom
plished In Australia. At tho town of
Hankstown, New South Wales, n good
sized church was erected from foundation
to roof In ten hours. While this was
probably the shortest time that It has
over taken to erect a large building, there
have been many other remarkable In
stances of quick building In the history
of architecture.
A few years a chapel known as the
Split Log Baptist Mission church, In Kan
sas City, wnt erected In the course of a
single day. The chapel was twenty-four
feet wide and forty feet long, and had
seats for over 200 people. At sunrise
there was nothing to bo seen but bare
land, but at 8 o'clock the samo evening
a service was held In tho fully completed
place of worship. A remarkable feat
about this chapel was Hint it was built
entirely by amateur laborers. The people
of a small Baptist congregation wanted
a new chapel, so they set to work with a
will to build one, and men, women nnd
children Joined In the labor with equal
enthusiasm.
At tho Ideal Homes exhibition at Olym
pla in Indon last ear. an oven more
wonderful piece of work was accom
plished. This was nothing less than the
erecting of an elegant eleven-room villa
In less than six days. When It Is said
that 76.000 bricks and over 30,000 tiles were
used In its construction, some idea of tho
remarkable nature of the task can bo
gathered. Altogether 260 tons of material
were employed.
In California a few years since two to
tally blind men irected a pretty little
bungalow, without any i itslde aid what,
ever. In the space of a few months.
Brown and Martinez were the names of
these clever builders, and although, of
course, they could not see a single brick
which they employed, their jiouie, when
completed, was pronounced by expert-

As soon as the wagon and the con

Omaha, Mrs. Blunt telephoned her
father, James Anderson, und In a few
minutes a posse of farmers, armed with
guns, were In pursuit. Sheriffs from
Lancaster and Douglas were soon In

convicts a battle began.
Blunt was held as a shield and n
bullet struck him. After the fight he was

BEST WAY TO BOOM A CITY
Crop Improvement Associations Are
Iletter Than I'xpeiml v- AuV
vertlnlne.
Six or eight years ago the business
men of Henderson, Ky., the metropolis
of a large but lagging agricultural dis
trict, organized a commercial club and
set out to make their town a young
Pittsburgh. They proclaimed Henderson's
advantages on billboards and sent their
cleverest talkers to Interview capitalists
In the largo cities. Hut months and years
slipped by and scarcely any new fuctorles
were built. It took these men n long
time to realize that they were wasting
much precious time In misdirected effort.
Hut at Inst camo an Inspiration. The
progressive members of the club met the
other day and resolved themselves Into a
crop Improvement association, opened
the membership books to everybody that
would pay the annual dues of Jl, and
hired a farm expert by the year. The
Idea became popular with the farmers,
who will control the policies of the or
ganization. The Chicago Hoard of Trade
became Interested In tho experiment and
agreed to contribute 12.000 to help pay the
first two years' expenses; and the De
partment of Agriculture will pay K0 a
month of tho expert's salary. The trained
agriculturist will make laboratory tests
of the soils and dairy products, conduct
practical demonstrations on farms, and
glvo free advice to all who ask for It
In fact, do anything he sees fit for the
promotion of better farming. The Idea Is
a splendid one. It Is based on the sound,
fundamental truth that the soil Is the
source of now wealth. Most commercial
clubs spend their energy and money try
ing to get factories away from other
cities.-Colllers Weekly.

the fight that was all.
Kiumcrs were bitter toward tho officers
who pursued the convicts, saying they
wore hasty nnd that It was not not
necessary that they should have killed

the officers had fired first. It was later
learned that one of tho convicts hnd
killed himself rather than submit to the
officers.

the sympathy of the people of tho state,

WINTER HARDSHIPS OF WAR
Wlml thi Alllea Kndnreil In thn
Snow Ilefore Ailrlnnonle'a
Fall.
A letter from a Servian soldier partici
pating In the Blcge of Adrlanoplo gives
n vivid picture of tho hardships of sol
diering In winter In tho HalKans. Tho
letter Is dated PapaB-Tepo (Priest's
Head), March 10, two weeks before the
fall of Adrlanoplo:
"Here wo aeo digging each other out of
the snow. It haa been up to our waists
for the last three Uays and In some parts
above our heads. All the trenches are
filled. Sometimes we hear a muffled shot
and run to the spot to haul out an officer
or man burled up to his ears and Just
able to fire a signal of distress. The
Turks faro no better. Yesterday eight of
them started toward us to surrender,
they could hold out the aead watch no
longer, but only one reached us alive.
Thn other seven fell down and froze.
"In our section only one soldier was
frozen. We do nothing nt present but try
to keep alive. Don't believe what ydu
hear about bombarding nnd so forth.
There Is no posplbllty of moving while
the wind Is shoveling snow on besiegers
and besieged.
"There are surely 16,000 to 18,000 men In
Adrlanoplo. Each gets 270 grammes
(about eight ounces) of bread dally and
cooked food on alternate days. They have
no salt, but use sour cheese Instead.
Provender Is scarce, so they are killing
off the cattle. Fugitives come to us In
groups of three or four. Later I am
Just called off to help In a search party.
Several of our soldiers are missing.
"Eleven o'clock at night: We had great
difficulty In digging out fivo comrades.
The poor fellows crawled here with us
to be rubbed and to have hot tea. Their
great coats stood out from them like
crinolines. On our way we stumbled over
an object like a plow covered with Ice.
It was one of our machine guns! It took
ub two hours and u half to make two
miles. The ambulance cart we had with
us had to be abundoned. Wo unharnessed
the horses and trusted them to follow
us. We held each other's hands and
would have been lost but for the guiding
polar star. Now we aro all Jolly, round a
big fire, the 'frozen' sitting on their stiff
greatcoats as on chairs, till the chairs
thaw and collapse, putting tho sitters
suddenly on the ground. Then thero Is a
roar of laughter. We are always mrrry
round a fire." Chicago News.

Trouble
Upon using Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey his relief was
almost immediate "It gave
back my life and health."
"For eight years I Buffered with
catarrh of tho Btomach, which fin
ally bocamo very dangerous. The
worst troublo was In tho Intestines.
I lost all my appotlto and sleep; I
bocamo weaker day after day, and
I took all kinds of medicine without
the least bit of relief. I thought
sure death would claim me. At last
a powerful remody came to my aid.
I bought three bottles of Duffy'a
Pure Malt Whiskey, and from tho
third dose I began to find relief.
Thon my appotlto grew better, and
I was able to work without boiiig
fatigued. I take great pleasure in
recommending Duffy's, and I grate
fully certify that it has given back
Penton, Mississippi.
