NO SENATE JOURNAL
IN SIGHT THIS YEAR
Secretary Walrath Declares
Money All Used Up Faying:
Employes; Nothing for
the Printer.
(From Surf Correspondent.)
Lincoln, June 22. (Special.) The
jtite of Nebraska has many things
by which to remember the last legis
lature, but it looks now as if the
usual souvenir of the session, the pro
ceedines of the senate, will not be on
the desks of the members at the next
session nor will the people at large
ever have a chance to know what the
upper body really did.
Secretary Gene Walrath of the sen
ate has refused to have the proceed'
ing printed, because there are no
funds. Mr. Walrath was here few
day ago and lo several persons at
the state house said he did not intend
to have the proceedings printed. He
said I ieutenant Governor Howard
had inade a raid on the funds and
forced the payment of employes of
the senate over and above the consti
tutional requirement and there was
not enough money Jeft to pay for
printing the journal.
Looks Out for Walrath.
The senate before adjournment
voted $1,400 to the secretary to get
out the proceedings. According to
the records Mr. Walrath has already
drawn $900 of the amount and this
I.ivm S50O vet to be Daid.
Arrnrdins to the records in the
office of the state auditor only $400
remains of the total amount voted in
the appropriation bill for expenses of
the senate and claims more man
enough are out against this amount
to use it up besides the $500 due Sec
retary Walrath for preparation of the
proceedings ot tne senate.
The law allowed S3 a dav for pay
ment of help in most instances. This
was raised to S4 by tne senate, out
when the claims were made out they
were made for only $3 by the secre
tary, he claiming that $3 was the con
stitutional pay and the senate had
no right to allow any more, especially
when there were not sufficient funds
voted to pay it.
Howard Dips In.
Lieutenant Governor Howard came
to Lincoln personally to see that the
old soldiers affected got their money.
It was understood he was able to
fix things so they could draw the
full tmount voted, but it appears his
.action has depleted the treasury or
rather the appropriation, according to
Mr, Walrath, and he refuses to have
the proceedings printed with no
prospect of money forthcoming until
the next legislature meets and a de
ficiency claim is allowed.
According to Commissioner Web
ster of the state printing board proofs
of the pages already set up by the
firm having the contract for printing
the journal, were sent to Secretary
Walrath ten days ago, but have never
baen sent back.

Alaska Shell Fish Will
Add to the Food Supply
Juneau, Alaska, June 22. Alaska
possesses practically untouched re
sources in crustacean or shell fish
products, according to Ernest P.
Walker, inspector of the fisheries bu
reau, now here in the interest of
the early development of all food
sources in the territory. He has re
cently been engaged in investigating
the various jcallops, clams, crabs,
shrimp and other members of the
family existing in northern waters.
"This country will, unquestionably,
some day be a big producer of shell
fish," said he. "Special attention is
being paid to the development of scal
lops. We often find theiii in nets and
fishing gear, which indicates that they
abound, for in order to get scallops
normally considerable digging is
necessary.
"Proof of the great clam resources
is seen in results obtained from recent
development of the beds near the
mouth of the Copper river by packers
located at Cordova. A recent ship-
e nt from there to Seattle comprised
4,000 cases, the largest single ship
ment of canned clams ever received
at the Puget sound port."
To aid in fishing development the I
government has tour inspectors ana
assistants and tour herring cure ex
perts.

Nebraska Merchants
Complain of Train Time
(From a Starr correaponaent.)
Lincoln, June 22. (Special.) Mer
chants of Columbus are objecting to
the continuation of what they call the
"Brandeis Special" running on the
Norfolk branch of the Union Pacific.
They say the train comes down from
Norfolk so early that people along
the line are enabled to make connec
tion with the main line trains into
Omaha and go there to do their trad
ing. The train was put on for the ac
commodation of traveling men out of
Norfolk who desired to make the
towns between Norfolk and Columbus
without having to waste so much
time.

Stop Corn Pain In Two Minutes
By the Clock Easy and Simple
The magic of Ice-Mint dou it. Soreneaa stops quickly and gradually
the corn loosens and comes out. Try it.
Your faat will feel cool and fine.
Thanks to a new discovery made
from a Japanese product, your
foot troubles can be quickly ended.
Ice-Mint, as this new prepara
tion is called, is said to shrivel up
hard corns, soft corns or corns be
tween the toes so that they can be
lifted out easily with the fingers.
Rub a little on any tender corn
or callous. Instantly the soreness
is relieved and shortly the corn or
callous will loosen so that it can
be lifted right out with the fin
gen root and all, No foolishness.

Lyman B. Cunningham
Veteran Editor, Is Dead
Glenwood, la., June 22. (Special.)
L. B. Cunningham, senior member
of the firm of L. B. & R. E. Cunning
ham, publishers of the Gteenwood
Opinion and the Nemaha County Re
publican at Auburn, Neb., died
Wednesday morning at 6:30 o'clock,
after a short illness.
Short funeral services were held
at the family home Friday morn
ing at 8:30 in charge of Rev. tdwyn
Evans of the Congregational church
ot which the deceased was a member.
The body was taken to Kearney,
Neb., for burial.
Lyman Beecher Cunningham was
born on a plantation near Lorners
ville, Tenn., Sepetember 3, 1884. On
September 3, 1874, he was united
marriage to Mary Elizabeth Clapp at
the home of her parents in hair tit Id
la. Three children were born to
them. Carl, who died at the age of 8
years; Ralph E., who has been asso
ciated in business with him for the
last twelve years, and is now at Au
burn: Miss Lora, who is a teacher at
Toppenish, Wash.
Mr. Cunningham spent the greater
portion of his business life at Kear
ney, wnere ne was long laennnea wnn
its erowth and orosoeritv. He found
ed the Kearney Journal, which is now
the Kearney Morning Times, in 1872.
He has written much upon the early
history of that state for the Historical
socities as well as the press and any
thing in that line from his pen has
been eagerly sought for. In 1905 he
disposed of his paper in Kearney and
purchased one at Pomeroy, la., and in
1908 disposed of that and purchased
the Glenwood Opinion, which he has
edited until his health prevented it,
Persistent Advertising is the Road
to success.
Ice-Mint is a clean, creamy,
snow white, nonpoisonous sub
stance and does not inflame or
even irritate the most tender skin.
There is no pain, smarting, or even
a bit of soreness while applying
Ice-Mint or afterwards. It acts so
gently, so magically that yon will
never want to run the risk of bbod
poisoning by cutting a corn again.
Ask your druggist for a small
jar of Ice-Mint which will cost
little yet is sufficient to rid one's
feet of every corn or callous.
You'll like it immensely.
