family by the marriage was about
L350 acres of the highest priced Pot-

' A pretty romance was connected

;who, when he knew that h was to
die. secured a pledge from his wife
. and brother that they should be
married after proper delay and that
the affairs of the big: farm should
f be continued in the same old way.
There was a prenuptial agree
1 ment that safeguarded the interests
of the brothers adult children and

Meeting.
Snuggled down into their over
coats, with collars turned up, hands
thrust deep into the pockets and
hats on their heads, the august mem
bers of the Board of Education held
their regular meeting last night.
The temperature of the roompn
the sixth floor of the city hall wa
somewhat near the freezing point.
But this hyperborean degree did
not deter the board from meeting
and transacting the business of the!
schools.
There was one exception to the
rule. President W. E. Reed sat
at" the head of the table without
his overcoat, but with his double
breasted suit tightly buttoned and
his arms folded. Occasstonally a
chill would shiver over him.
School After, Christmas.
The board practically decided that
there will be no school in Omaha
until' the Monday following Christ
mas at the earliest, and probably
not till the first 6T the year. . -

Alleges Fraud by N
r Couple Selling Real
Estate Business
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Payne, 2234
Farnam street, 'were arrested last
night and charged with fraud, on
the complaint of O. L. Jackson, 210
Paxton court, Jackson told the po
lice that he purchased from the
Paynes half an interest in the real
estate and insurance' business they
said they operated at their address
on Farnam street for $4,000.
Jackson said the Paynes told- him
it would net himat least $300 per
month. After three months of wait
ing, during which time Jackson
didn't get a cent, according to his
story to the police, he had the
couple arrested.
According to the police,,- the
Paynes were preparing to leave
town when arrested .
atioit I have learned that, even with
the best outcome of present con
ditions, we cannot expect-to get
enough coal to run the schools for
three or four weeks."
"Some of the teachers, on the
chance that the schools will be
closed at least till after Christmas,
have, already left for points in Illi
nois, Colorado and other states, and
I think it would be well to take
definite action as to how long the
schools will be closed."
The board concurred m this view,
but referred the question . to the
teachers'-committee with power to
act. The committee will hold a
meeting within a few days.
Secretary Bourke reported that
the suddIv of coal on hand in the
various school buildings varies from
a ton and a half to 40 tons.
After the regular , meeting the
board went into executive session
to consider the plans for the new
High School of Commerce.

Following the meeting Secretary
Bourke announced that the board

Average Advance in Principal
Necessities of Life 11-2 Per
Cent During November.
New York, Dec. 1, Despite the
various campaigns to bring down
the high cost f living, the cost
of foodstuffs and clothing have con
tinued to climb during the last
month according to the report on
Business conditions of the second
federal district board for November.
The average advance of the prin
cipal necessities of life was given
at one and one-half per cent.
Reports from the retail trade, it
was stated, indicated that "luxury
buying" was in full- swing and the
"repressive effect of the war on
personal expenditure" had disap
peared completely. '
"Never has there been so mtkh
spending, such a demand for ex
pensive articles ami such disregard
of prices," said the report.
Public Non-Resistant.
The public is N showing "almost
no resistance" to high prices, the
report continued, which added that
"the buyers are either completers
indifferent or they accept the higher
prices as quite to be expected." ':
Reports from the retail stores, it
was stated, indicate that the wave
of buying "done by wage earners has
somewhat subsided." It was sug
gested that this was probably due
to the strike or unemployment
caused by the strikes.
Jewelry Trade Good.
The jewelry trade "reports indi
cated an unprecedented demand for
platinum, fine jewelry, diamonds and
other, precious stones. The price of
diamonds has risen 100 per cent
witin six months, it was stated, and
there has been a great rise in the
price of silverware."
"Musical instruments cannot be
produced in quantity to meet the de
'mand." declared te report. "Reek

i was also reported.

Europe.
Pierre, S. D., Dec. 1. (Special
Telegram.) The Poindexter forces
started the music Monday in their
efforts to draw a crowd which was
addressed by. Senator Poindexter
himself, with a protest against what
he calls machine domination of the
state convention which is lined up
for an indorsement of General
Wood.
The Lowden forces are represent
ed by State Treasurer Sterling of
Illinois, who is protesting any in
dorsement and asking that the con
vention leave sucH endorsement
open to the march primary. Regard
less of convention action the dif
ferent candidates will go to the
March vote by petition.
' The senator put a series of ques
tions to Gen. Leonard Wood as the
main feature in his address.
His questions are: ,
"Did you approve or support the
great principles of government for
which Roosevelt stood?
"Did you vote for his election or
advocate his policies either privately
or publicly?
What is your policy as to fulfill
ing our international obligations andj
protecting the lawtul rights or Amer
ican citizens in Mexico?
"Are you in favor of an immedi
ate declaration of peace with Ger
many, and of at once repealing war
legislation and restoring the Amer
ican government to a peace basis? ,
Are you tor or against the Amer
ican union with Europe under the
government league of nations?
Do you favor the continuance of
war taxes, and if not what system
would you substitute for them?
What means do you prooose. if
any, for protecting essential indus-
tnes . such as coal mining and trans
portation from bolshevik interfer
ence?" L ..-
"You have said. 'I thorouehlv ao-
prove of our country's 1 reception
ot various devastated areas in turooe
for the purpose of reconstruction.'
What particular areas would it
take over, and to what extent would
you expend the public funds in this
work? hjow many American troops

To Hire Supervisor v
To Restore Indexes
At,$1,000aMonth
The board of county commission
ers yesterday authorized Register of
Deeds Pearce to hire 102 persons to
work on restoration 'of the title in
dexes destroyed in the court house

The board authorized hiring the fol
lowing workers: One expert super
visor at $1,000 a, month; five title ex
pert's at $350 a month; one engineer
at $175 a month; 40 posters at $150 a

five distributers at $150 a month, and
two watchmen at $100 a month.
The employes on this work will

each, starting at 8 a. m. and 4 p. rn.
The .restoration of the indexes will
take about tree months, it is estimated.

convention taking up the endorse
ment of any kind at this time, and
was decisve in his language in re
gard to tbe action of miners at the
present attempting to tie up the
coal supply of the country nd put
in an additional toll on industry,
both as to cost of fuel -and depriv
ing the country of the necessary
means of progress at the present
time.
Criticises Unidn Miners.
While the .situation is practically
in the air at this hour an attempt
to insist upon the endorsement of
General .Wood is assumed to be the
signal for the selection of a. minori
ty' ticket with Governor Lowden
heading it for presidential preference,
this to carry with, it a complete
state ticket trom senator down'.
The indications this evening are
that Carl Gunderson will be placed
on the majority ticket for lieuten
ant governor, and that means more
friction before it is carried f hrough,
if it is insisted upon.
The democrats are waiting be
fore taking any action and the non
partisans are holding a conference
behind closed doors.

Disquieting Impression
Walters uave Madge.
Mr. Walters rose from his chair
hastily and came toward me,
"I fear you're ill, Mrs. Graham,"
he said solicitously.
-With a grim effort I took agrip
upon myself and came back to calm
ness. "Thank you, but I'm perfectly all
right," I relied. "Lam just recov
ering froirf a fractured ribV
"So I was told," he interjected
hastily ,and apologetically. "And
please be assured that I would never
have troubled you if this had been
any other than the insistent mes
sage it is."
l know that," I said with friend
ly emphasis, for the young attorney
was palpably uncomfortable, "and
this hasn't injured me in the least.
It is only that my nerves are not
very strong yet, and part of the
communication in this ' letter is
rather disquieting."
"Anything that I can help?" Mr.
Walters' face was alive with earnest
eagerness.
"I'm afraid not," I said regretful
ly. "Except that I wish you would
arrsvver without reserve one ques
tion." . .
"If I can." his legal caution as
serting itself. x
"What are the chances of Mr,
Stockbridge's acquittal?" '
The face of Kenneth Stock
bridge's friend shadowed. -
"I wish I could answer that ques
tion unreservedly in the affirmative,"
he said soberly, "but as things stand
now his friends are in that sad state
known as never giving up hope
while life lasts."
He hesitated, looked at "me
strangely, as he continued:
A Hidden Query?
"Perhaps you know that the chief
obstacle to Kenneth's vindication
lies in his obstiuate refusal to say
anything which will clear him in an'
way. He has been absolutely silent
upon this subject since his arrest. I
happen to know that his attorneys,
the leader of whont is one of the
ablest in the country, are very ap
prehensive of the outlook. If only
there was any one who knew or
guessed anything concerning this
sad affair which might help hinvand
who would come forward unre
servedly and tell what he knew, it
might solve the wjiolc problem. But
people are so afraid of being impli
cated in an-affair of this kind'
I was looking him steadily in the
eyes by this time, for his whole
manner pointed tne direct accusa
tion he dared not make, that I knew
something which would help Ken
neth Stockbridge if I only possessed
the moral courage to tell it. The
indignation he itiust have seen in
my face evidently nonplussed him
for his voice trailed off into silence
and his face flushed with embarrass
ment. " t
How Madge Replied. r
I divested my and voice of all
anger, however, before I answered
him. After all, this attorney friend
of Kenneth Stockbridge's was justi
fied in his assumption. Both the
principal's insistence that I must not
be implicated and my own emotion
upon reading his letter pointed
strongly to my knowledge of facts
ye. unrevealed, I, could not blame
him, even as I thought grimly, how
little w.hat I knew would help Ken
neth Sfockbridge, how damningon
the contrary, would my words be if
I should utter them.
"I cannot pretend to misunder
stand yoti, Mr. Walters,"I said with
dignity. "I can only assure you that
if I knew the slightest fact which
could possibly help Mr. Stockbridge
I .would come forward with it, no
matter at what inconvenience or
sacrifice to, myself. But unfortunate
ly I know nothing. The contents
of this letter are entirely personal,

Often Rejected.
Judging ' from reports from d'ruggisti
who are constantly in direct touch wit)
the- public, there, la oarc preparation tha. :
has been very successful in overcomini
these conditions. The mild and healinf

soon realized. It stands the highest f 01
its remarkable record of success.
Ail, examining physician for one ef th
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing; statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica

that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,

Doesn't it make you feel

when someone guesses your
age at ten years or so
younger than you really1

"Well, he didn't make Such
a bad guess, at that."
The point is: You're no
older than your vitality.
If a man is strong, vigor

fit at 50 he has a better
chance of living up to 80
than a man of 30 who is
weak and run-down has of
living up to 60. While none
