An elderly lady,1 who was thera among others at the railroad depot, stared at the crowds and remarked to an overall-clad worker: . f "Is there a big excursion on?" "Ves ma'am," was the reply, "to heaven o.r the other place." State Board Authorized To Decide Taxation Dispute Lincoln, Aug. 31. J.ust because M. A.
