The way the thing is working out the people will never know what is taking place in the state house in public offices except those of the state officers regularly v elected. Chiefs qf departments have been or dered to give out no items of public interest to anyone, but to pass them on to the secretary at the head of the department. If the news is im portant it must go to. the governor for approval and be given out by his secretary after it has received the executive approval. Newspaper reporters covering the state house must now await the pleasure of the secretarial heads or the governor. No news can be given out until after it has been canned, the- seal of approval placed on the can and under the pure food law the percentage of contents printed on the can. The governor has, however, taken the matter under consideration and while insisting that the giving out of news by the heads of depart ments would "detract from effi ciency of the department," said he would call the board of secretaries together and see about it. i During the interem the sign "passed by the board of censorship" will accom pany all news given out in the pres ent way.

Mrs. Massey was prostrated with grief when informed of her hus band's death this morning. She had no idea what motive anyone could have in shooting her husband, she said. Murder is Mystery. "As far as I know he didn't have an enemy in the world," she sobbed. "When he left home Monday aft ernoon he was cheerful and kissed me goodby'as usual. I am, sure he had no idea that death was so near." C. R. Zink, chief clerk to the gen eral superintendent of the Union Pacific, a elbse friend of Mr. Mas sey, also declared that he was well liked by every one. "When we first received the dis patch of his death I thought he had beenheld up going from the train to his room. The dispatch states, however, that he was not robbed. He was ' evidently alone when the tragedy occurred, for if any other railroad man had been with him he would have reported at once. Train Crew in Dark. "None of the train crew knew anything about his death, I believe, until informed later in the morning." Mr. Massey had been in the em ploy of the Union Pacific railroad for about 35 years. the only theorv advanced hv bis friends is that he was mistaken for someone else. Left Cafe at 1:30. ' Mr. Massey. after the arrival of his train, No. 15, in North Platte, after midnight, registered at the station and then went to a cafe for lunch. He left the cafe about 1:30.

Washington; Sept. 23. America's future military policy as advocated today before tne,house military com mittee by Maj. Gen. J. W. McAn drew, chief of staff of the A. E. F. throughout the war, should call for "peace on the Pacific on our own terms." This, he said, can be as sured by control of the Panama canal and the Hawaiian islands. Although General McAndrew told the committee he was loath to dis agree with the general staff, he took issue with its reorganization plan on tne Oasis ot an army ot auy.UUU men, proposing instead a force of 300,000 "at the utmost" . While joining with the general staff irt advocating uni versal training for, 19-year-old youths General. McAndrew disagreed with its proposed three-month period of training, declaring.it was "inade quate" and should be at least six months. Wants 1,250,000 Army., General McAndrew recommended that the skeleton of 21 divisions, a field army of 1,250,000 men. as pro posed by the general staff be ap proved, but he suggested that these divisions, with the exception of four, be skeletonized to 6,000 or 7,000 men, instead of a larger number as proposed by the war department. He also agreed with the department plan for a "top-heavy" officers per sonnel, explaining these were needed for universal training, and even if such a system were not adopted their retention would be advisable for quick enlargement of the army in an emergency. . Division on Border. The peace time army of 300,000 men, hesaid, should be distributed with one complete division at the Panama canal, another at Hawaii, another with additional troops, if necessary, along the Mexican bor der; small forces in the Philippine and Alaska and the remainder at home for coast defense and train ing, i "By all means," lie asserted, "we must safeguard Hawaii. Its loss in time of war would put Japan or any combination of powers on the flank or' our communications to Asia and the Philippines. It is likely that in any war in the Pacific we might not at first. have the preponderance of naval strength, and the army must maintain the islands until reinforce ments are brought from the Atlantic fleet by way of the canal. With one division and the shore batteries we could keep a navy off for some time because of the few landing places."

Moore of 1615 Elmwood street, Kansas City, Missouri, in a statement recently. "I was so nerv ous, miserable and despondent that I would just sit and cry. , "My appetite left me nearly two years ago," she explained, "and my stomach got in such a bad fix that I could not eat anything but what would ferment, causing gas and in tense pain. I was constipated all the time and my head ached so bad that I had to use ice on it to re lieve the pain. My condition was so bad for months before I began using Tanlac that I was unable to be up, much less do my housework, and I believe I was right on -the veree of nervous prostration. I could hardly sleep and no one will ever know how miserable I did teei, because I just can't fully describe it. ' "A friend of mine got after me to try Tanlac, but I refused at first, because I had tried everything else and had lost nearly all hope of ever getting well. But she insisted until I made up my mind to try it and before finishing the first bottle I was so much better that I got an other and kept on taking it with perfectly wonderful results. I can cat just anything now without the least trouble afterwards and I have actually gained twenty pounds in weight.' I have been entirely 're lieved of headaches, nervousness and everything and can sleep every night as sound as when I was a child. The work in my seven-room house is easy for me now, for I am feeling just fine. Now this is just what four bottles of Tanlac hal done for me and I certainly do think it is the grandest medicine in the world."
