COLN, Dec. 18,—(Special.)—Colonel Rowden, commandant at the Mil- a Soldiers’ Home, wore a broad smile ay, all because he had scored another uchdown in the way of good produc- ve fiftlons at the institution. This time Colonel Rowden turned over 10 the state treasurer § the receipts from the sale of four hogs raised at the W institution, which weighed on an average of 540 pounds each and brought $5.80 per hundred pounds. Twenty pigs now aver- age about 160 pounds each, and Colonel Rowden yesterday refused $20 for the bunc' He thinks that he can make more by stuffing them with corn and turning them off about March for a goodly sum. money Bonds Not Registered. The state auditor this morning refused | to register a bonds from county, because number of school district Distriet No. 70 in Nance of the law, which holdds that a school district having less than twenty-five children cannot vote for more than $500. The bonds called for $700 and the district shows but eigt- cen children, Hr'er Rabbit Too Slow. Secretary Whitten's celebrated line every morning” got mixed with the feroclous animals from the jungles this morning when ‘a big jack rabbit wan- dered into the city and was killed by a street car at one of Lincoln's busy cor- ners. The accident happened at Sixtenth and O strects, near the Victoria hotel, | and was caused the rabbit being unable to escape the rapid transit cars of the traction company a peep at the Christmas activities. Precautions Against Typhold. The ofifces of the state game warden were completely renovated and cleaned | last night on orers of State Secretary Case of the Boarl of Health, and tonight will be completely fumigated because two cases of typhold fever have attacked nmates of the ofice this winter. The! first was Game Warden Rutembeck him- self, who has just begun to recuperate | from a very severe attack of typhoid, and the second was that of Mrs. Cop, daughter of N. J. Ludi, former secretary | of the printing board, who was assisting in the work of the office this week. Mrs, Cop was taken tc the hospital yesterday with a case of threatened ty- phoid, and while it is probable that nothing about the office was responsible for the infection, yet Dr. Case decided \been before the board for its consider- that for the health of Miss Anna Whe- lan, who has looked after the office dur- ing the game warden’s illness, that all danger should be obliterated. Road Appeals C The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company has appealed to the supreme court from a judgment secured in the Douglas county district court by Louis Glassburg, teamster for the South Omaha Packing company, who sued the company for $20,000 for alleged injurles received by being struck by a car of the company at Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets and thrown from his wagon and two ribs broken and other injuries sus- tained. The jury awarded a verdict of $250. R pisition for Green. Governor Morehead issued a requisition this morning on the governor of North Dakota for the return to this state of Martin Green, other name unknown, who is wanted in Clay county for assault with a ragor on August Peterson. Green is being held by the sheriff of Ramsey county, North Dakota, at Devils Lake. Judges File Two district judges have filed their oaths of office with the secretary of state, This is clalmed to be necessary (or the reason that their terms of office were extended by the legislature, and, as they took an oath for only a four- year term, they deem it necessary to qualify for the additional time. The judges are Judge Hurd of the Seventh district and Judge Paul of the Eleventh district, Captain Bax Dead. Captain Adam Bax, well known grand “army man and veteran of two wars, died yesterday ac his home in this city, where he has resided for nearly half a century. He was 57 years of age and up to a few months ago, was well and hearty for a man of his age. Captain Bax served in the German war of 1548-52 and at its close came to America and was a vetrean of he eivil war, serving from the time that || Fort Sumter was fired upon to the sur- render of Lee at Appomattox.

LINCOLN, Dec. 18.—(Special )—The b:i:f ) State Treasurer George Hall, filed with the supreme court today, in con neetion with the treasurer's application for a shearing in the suit brought by State Fire Commissioner Ridgell, to com- pel the treasurer to warrants of the depfirtment, sets ¢ that the opinion given by five members of the court that the state treasurer cannot attack the validity of the law and that the source of that attack can only come from the Insurance companles, which pay the fee ito the fire department for their own rotection, Is untenable.

LINCOLN, Dec. 18.—(Special)—Bfforts | of ain democratic politiclans to make political capital out of the fact that Land | Commissioner Fred Beckmann, had re- fused to give his sanction to the pur chase of certain irrigation bonds appears to cause them to redouble their efforts !when they see that the land commis- sioner has his side of the story and is {not afraid to talk If necessary. Some time ago the charge was made by William Ritchle of Bridgeport that {Land Commissioner Beckmann had re- fused to give his sanction as a member of the state board of public lands and | funds, to the purchase of $25,0% irrigation bonds of the Short Line district, near that place. Mr, Beckmann in anewer to the charge Ritchie visited him and told him that State Treasurer Hall was opposed to the investment of the school fund in that kind of security. He told Mr. Ritchie that he too belleved as it was school money that school district bonds should be given the perference. However, he said that there were five members of the board and if they favored it that settled it Why Single Out One? Mr. Beckmann now desires to know why he the only republican on the board should be charged with not buying the bonds. The matter was never taken be- fore the board and, therefore, he can hardly see how he can be charged with defeating the purchase when it was never ation, Mr. Beckmann says he does not blame the agent for trying to sell the bonds, but would like to know, If they are “glit edge,” why they have not been sold be- fore, as they have been on the market since they were voted in April, 1514 Mr. Beckmann says that Ritchie admitted that he had been trying hard to sell them and that the bonds had been put up for security to a bank which was now threat- ening foreclosure to obtain its money. One Positive Statement. “I see.” sald Mr. Beckmann, “that Mr. Ritchie has a statement in the papers in which he says that he did not intend to blame me for the non-sale of the bonds and that he states the difference between my stand and that of State Treasurer Hall and Secretary of State Pool, was that they did not positively state that ill | Il Diamona $5.00 || Rings to 8800 Il Diamona $5.00 Brooches to 8300 || Diamond 5.00 La Vallieres to $1500 Diamond $10.00 Ear Screws to $650 Diamond $i0. | stuas to $800 5‘;1 Piawmond $15.00 [l Bracelets to 8200 1|l Diamond $10.00 | || cutt Buttons to $150 | Diamond $7.50 | vockets to 8150 || | I Open evenings until Christmas. | | JEWELRY OMAHA'S GIFT STORE Hundreds of Suggestions.
