Nebraska MELLOR RETURNS FROM WEST COAST Becretary of Board of Agriculture Finds Road Making at Its Best in California. NEBRASKA IDEAS IN IDAHO (From a Staff Corre: LINCOLN, ES tary Willlam R. Mellor of the State Board of Agriculture, and Mrs. liave returned from a trip to San Fran- clsco and other points along the Pacific coast and to places of interest between Lincoln and the western citles Mr. Mellor says people of Nebraska who are interested in good roads in this state ought to take a few pointers from California, where they have road making down to an almost perfect con- dition and the roads there are in fine shape. They stopped off at Boise, Idaho, on their return home and visited with Mr. endershot, former president of the Ne- braska state fair. Mr. Hendershot was 1ecently elected secretary of the Idaho state fair and the 1915 exhibition was his first attempt. It was a success in every way, the first time that the Idaho o fair has been made to pay as a con- sequence the people there feel Mr. Hendershot is the whole thing and {f it wasn's for losing him they might run bhim for governor, The secret of the success was due to the fact that Mr, Hendershot put a few Nebraska ideas into the scheme and with his Nebraska push the fair just had to pan out on the right side of the ledger, Mr. Mellor witnessed aeroplane flighty by Peterosky. The man could not tali Inglish, but he could fly In several dif- most a ferent dialects. His flights were madte like twisting around as he ms slight through the air. Mr. Mellor may make an effort to secure him for the Nebraska falr the coming year if the cockscrew artist decides to remain in this country and continue his exhibitions. Insu spectacular cockscrew, nee Authority. Attorney General Reed denies the pub- lished statements that the State Insur- ance board has recalled its former decla- ration about enforcing the electricity glause In fire insurance policies. He says that the resolution of the board will stand, but that the board has come to the con- ciusion that it has no authority over what kind of stipulations are made In riders J attached to Insurance policies. “If the insurance companies can make a special agreement with the party in- sured covering electricity, then that is a deal directly between the two and we have no jurisdiction over that kind of an agreement attached in the form of a rider,” sald the attorney general this morning. Pardon Board to Meet, The State Pardon board will meet to- morrfow at the penitnetiary.

Luff Will Have His Hearing Wednesday AURORA, Neb., Nov. 8.—(Speclal.)—Not in many years has interest in Hamilton county attached to an assault case as it has In the Nelson-Luff case, near Mar- quette. Few men and no women in the county are without expressed opinions as to the gullt or innocence of Fred Luff, who is charged with the assault of Nels Nelson. Lutf's preliminary hearing takes place | before the county judge next Wednesday, and It seems probable that the court room will be packed with Danes and Swedes from Kronberg and Marquette, Luff s a Dane and Nelson is a Swede. Miss Mary Peterson of Marquette will probably be the principal witness for the state. She is the young woman who was being courted by both Luff and Nelson. She 1s reported to have told the officials that Luff had made threats against Nel- son in her presence. When Luff was shot in the back of the head a few nights later, the theory was advanced that both Nelson and Luff had been the victims of some one of the nu- merous admirers of the young woman.
