(From a Staff Correspondent)
LtNCOUN, Ne., July 19.-BpeclsJ.
flVhat In his oplnlonvand tho opinion of
others Is a fatal defect In the petitions
for a referendum on the Nebraska City
armory proposition was discovered by
Frank E. Helvey this morning;
Houbo roll No. 712, Introduced by Hlch
nrdson of Lancaster, providing for carry
lngr out of the InlUatlvo and referendum
powers In section 3, says:
"Every such sheet tor petitioners' sig
natures shall bo attached to a full and
correct copy of the title and text ot the
law."
Section 2 of Uie bill which created the
armory and mado the appropriation,
known as house roll No. T26, reads;
"That said building shall bo constructed
upon the ground originally occupied by
old Fort Kearney." .
The petition reads that, "The said build
ing shall be constructed upon the ground
occupied by old Fort Kearney," leaving
out the word "originally."
There are two old Fort Kearneys. Tho
original fort was located at Nebraska
City, while the fort generally alluded to
as "old Fort Kearney" "was located near
Kearney In Buffalo county.
Mr. Helvey, as well as others. Is of the
opinion that the leaving out of the one
word "originally" is a defect which wilt be
fatal In that it makes no specific loca
tion for the armory, or rather leaves It a
matter as between the two sites.
Just what action will be taken, If any,
to prevent the petition from going on the
ballot Mr. Helvey was not in a position to
(ay this morning. '

the higher degrees Bachelor ot Laws and

LINCOLN, July 19.-(SpcclaI.)-Offleers
ot the Nebraska National guard aro hold
ing a session In representative hnll at
the state house today to dlsctiBS the mili
tary maneuvers to bo held next month.
The meeting' was presided over by Ad
jutant General Hall, who opened the ses
sion with a speech, In which he said In
part
"Xho national guard soldier, or militia
man as ho Is commonly called, is no other
than a cltlxen soldier living among his
friends and sharing with them the Use
ful pursuits and alms of Ufo. War Is to
htm a possibility, ' but a remote one. for
which he Is ready when it conies. In a
general way his hope Is for a contin
uance of peace, but fully realising tho
possibilities, ho steps forth and obtains
the training that the national guard gives
him. This Insures him for futuro life In
that he 1 staught self confidence, to bo
able to handle men; to hold them to dis
cipline and at the same Umo to hold thetr
respect.
'It is with this point In view that the
adjutant general's department Is en
deavoring to hold a state maneuver In
the month, of August. ThlB maneuver Is
not for the purpose of trying the men to
tho extreme, but to give eaoli command
ing officer a chance to try working on
his own Initiative! to boo his own plans
put Into action.
"In maneuver or practlco marches one
ot tho essential parts Is map-reading.
Every officer Is furnished with a map.
Ho Is put In a position whero ho has to
study this map to find hla way. lie,
learns topography as well as geology.
Tho officer In command hau the contin
ual practlco In nandllng men. Ho should
see that their fost are well covered and
that their stomachs aro well regulated,
He Is responsible for the care and up
keep of the different parts of his com
pany. The enlisted men, or privates, are
placed upon their honor to carry out and
make a success or tho one big move
ment which will not only bring credit
to them but to thjlr organization. The
young man has tho ensnce to obeervo oil

There was a time, somewhere In the
hasy past, when grandfather hud a regu
lar Job acting as a back drop for tho
kitchen stove. Fond hands brought his
pipe to him, filled it with birdseed and
wooden clippings and ho was settled for
the day. Once ln a while he would get
loud about some mistake of the Union
forces at Antlctam, but the folks would
gather around him, rub his wrists and
tell him not to cxclta himself and to take

In the present hustling period a man
who 'passes CO ahd has seen the children
well at work and everything doing nicely
usually goes out and buys an open-face

ready to look things over and has no
intention at all ot doing tha thing In
overalls. Beginning right there those
who love him most focus the field glasses
upon him and cease to sleep nights. He's

At tho turkey trottertcs the dlxxlest

dance anything desperato they make the
most ot the risk they take and bet all
tho .energy they own agalnBt all the

toward morning sit In for a few hands

Rebellion In the Ilonks
In preparation for the coming Fourth
of July celebration a number ot small
boys In a South Side street were play
ing at soldiers. Two of the boys had
toy guns, while the others shouldered
long sticks.
"In the revolutionary war," said one
of the larger boys, "the soldiers that
didn't have guns carried long pikes.
You boys with the sticks can pretend
they are pikes."
The smallest boy of the lot rebelled
at once.
"If I can't have a gun," he said, "I
am not going to play. I know we can't
all be captains, but I ain't goln' to be

Oatmeal Shampoo Ab
A Hair Beautifier
(National Journal of Hygiene.)
Hair to be healthy must be kept clean.
Hut hair that's clean Is not always
healthy. Soaps and shampoos with much
alkali, borax, ammonia and other things,
are cleansing, but Injurious. They dry
and Impoverish scalp and hair, taking
away their natural oils. They cause hair
to split break, lose luster or color.
There's nothing better than oatmeal to
keep hair and scalp both clean and
healthy. There's enough oil In It to make
use ot olive oil or vaseline unnecessary.
Caxlned oatmeal compound makes a bet
ter shampoo than plain oatmeal. It Is
finely pulverized, free from bran and
produces Just enough lather. SUr a tea
spoonful of It In a cup of hot water and
rub thoroughly Into the scalp. Rinse
well afterward. There's no stickiness or
muss about this. It not only makes hair
beautifully soft glossy and fluffy, but
promotes Its growth. Most druggists
carry caxlned oatmeal compound In con
venient packages. Advertisement
