NECKTIES HOT PART
OF GUARDJJNIFORM
Officer Strips One From Man
Banks and Throws It on
Ground.
PEACE TALK NOT RELISHED
(From a Stiff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July S. (Special.) Neck
ties are not a part of the uniform of a
Nebraska soldier and cannot be worn
in connection with the uniform. This
Tias been discovered by several young
soldiers who have persisted in this
adornment contrary to military usage.
One young man appeared in line this
morning soadorned and the officer
promptly seized the offending necktie,
tore it from the neck of the soldier
and cast it to the ground.
The first real mystery of the camp
was disclosed this morning when a
uniform and equipment were found
lying under a railroad viaduct near
town. There was no one inside the
uniform and it is supposed that some
soldier did not relish the idea of leav
ing home and has deserted. An effort
is being made to locate the missing
man. lhe hrst proceedings will be
to find the company short one soldier.
olonel George F. Hunter, who is
here inspecting the Nebraska troops,
says Nebraska boys' show up well for
state militia, butare lacking in that
essential feature which is necessary
to the man who expects to engage
in a campaign mixed with the hard
ships of a climate like Mexico. How
ever he says they compare favorably
with the men of other states.
Newspaper reports that Carranza is
making an effort to fix things up with
the president do not strike the aver
age .soldier boy, bent on a trip to
Mexico where he will have a chance
to win glory, very favorably.

miles through the country in the

twenty-five to thirty-five bushels per
acre. Wages are from $2.50 to $3 per

Blankets and Shoes
For the Guards Are
Not Satisfactory
Lincoln, Neb., July 5. The accep
tance of 3,000 pairs of shoes furnished
the Nebraska National Guard by a St.
Louis iirm is being held up pending
information as to whether shoes
manufactured for European armies

shoes resemble very much the hob
nailed kind used in Europe. Two
thousand pairs in the same order have
been approved. Blankets furnished
the Nebraska guard are also unsatis
factory, it being said that they are in
ferior material.
Two Boys Charged With
Robbing Broken Bow Store
Broken Bow, Neb., July 5. (Spe
cial.) Floyd Bothwell and Gene Le
Moyne, two young men of the city,
have been arrested by Sheriff Wilson
and jailed. They are charged by
Prosecutor Kelly with having robbed
the dry goods and clothing store of
H. B. Drake of about $150 worth of
merchandise, including suits of
clothes, shoes, shirts, socks, under
clothing and a large amount of ha
berdashery. The store was entered
through a small window at the rear
and the burglars made their exit by
way of the back door. Bothwell was
arrested in the park wtih a pair of
the stolen shoes on his feet, and
when the sheriff arrested the other
man in an attic he had on a pair of
socks that came from the Drake store.
Both arrests declare their innocence,
but later in the day Bothwell told
the sheriff that most of the stolen
stuff was hid in the ruins of an old
house on the north side. He said he
was simply holding it for another
party who had left town and that
he had nothing to do with the bur
glary. The goods were recovered.
Within five hours after the burglary
was discovered two arrests had been
made and the stolen ptoperty found
by the sheriff.

pulpa, Okl., who spent two weeks
with Mr. Fellers in this vicinity, in

FIGURES OUT COST
OF STATE WARDS
Board of Control Issues Re
port of Expense of All
Institutions.
FOR NINETEEN FIFTEEN
(Prom ft Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 5. (Special.) It cost
the state of Nebraska $1,384,942, ac-
Jcording to the figures of the State
Board of Control, to run the fifteen
state institutions under the supervision
of that board. The report filed with
the governor covers the fiscal year
ending November 30, 1915, and has no
date, but the fact that it has been a
long time coming (seven months)
probably does not at all detract from
its value as a public document.
The cost of running these institu
tions was divided as follows:
Ms4ntsn.nce 9(,67.57
Oflnsr.l repair 33,287.21
Furnlturs and equipment 28.270.(8
Permanent Improvement, building
and grounds ft6.88t.05
New buildings and land J36.no .03
Miscellaneous 3t.968.6t
The miscellaneous expense above
referred to, according to the reports,
includes the amount paid for the
Handicraft Furniture company and
also $12,000 allowed by the legislature
to pay personal damage claims.
There is a total population in these
institutions of 4.787, 719 officers and
employes, making the total in the in
stitutions 5,506. There was on parole
or furlough 959, making the grand
total 6,465. The cost per capita for
running these institutions is given as
