e "on the Fourth of \Money refunded if they do not help Nebraska NECKTIES NOT PART OF GUARD UNIFOR Officer Strips One From Man Ranks and Throws It on Ground. PEACE TALK NOT RELISHED (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 5.—(Special.)—Neck- ties are not a bart of the uniform of a Nebraska soldier and cannot be worn in connection with the uniform. This has been discovered by several young soldiers who have persisted in this adornment contrary to military usage. One young man appeared in line this morning soadorned and the officer promptly seized the offending necktie, tore it from the neck of the soldier and cast it to the ground. The first real mystery of the camp was disclosed this morning when a uniform and equipment were found lying under a railroad viaduct near town. There was no one inside the uniform and it is supposed that some soldier did not relish the idea of leav- ing home and has deserted. An effort is being made to locate the missing man, The first proceedings will be to find the company short one soldier. Colonel George F. Hunter, who is here inspecting the Nebraska troops, says Nebraska boys show up well for state militia, butare lacking in that essential feature which is necessary to the man who expects to engage in a campaign mixed with the hard- ships of a climate like Mexico. How- ever he says they compare favorably with the men of other states. Ngwspkper reports that Carranza is making an effort to fix things up with the president do not strike the aver- age soldier boy, bent on a trip to Mexico where he will have a chance to win glory, very favorably.

Table Rock, Neb, July 5.—(Spe- cial.)—An automobile spin of thirty miles through the country in the vicinity of Table Rock, Steinauer and Pawnee City shows the wheat harvest to be well under headway.

Many machines ran all day Sun- day owing to the overripe condition of many fields of grain, scarcity of help and harvesting machines. Golden Wedding Anniversary.

A pain in the kidney region may put-you upon your back tomlorrow. Don't blame the wea- ther for swollen feet, it may be an advanced warning of Bright's disease. A pain in the stomach may be‘the first symptom of ap- pendicitis. A ereak in a joint may be the forerunner of rheumatism. Chronic head- aches more than likely warn you of serious. stomach trouble.

Blankets and Shoes For the Guards Are Not Satisfactory Lincoln, Neb., July 5—The accep- tance of 3,000 pairs of shoes furnished the Nebraska National Guard by a St. Louis firm is being held up pending information as to whether shoes manufactured for European armies have been sent here.

They are charged by Prosecutor Kelly with having robbed the dry goods and clothing store of H. B. Drake of about $150 worth of merchandise, including suits of clothes, shoes, shirts, socks, under- clothing and a large amount of ha- berdashery. The store was entered through a small window at the rear and the burglars made their exit by way of the back door. Bothwell was arrested in the park wtih a pair of the stolen shoes on his feet, and when_the sheriff arrested the other man in an attic he had on a pair of socks that came from the Drake store. Both arrests declare their hnocence, but later in the day Bothwell told the sheriff that most of the stolen stuff was hid in the ruins of an old house on the north side. He said he was simply holding it for another party who had left town and that he had nothing to do with the bur- glary. The goods were recovered. Within five hours after the burglary was discovered two arrests had been made and the stolen property found b; the sheriff, Large Area Leased for il And Gas Near Table Rock _Table Rock, Neb., July 5.—(Spe- cial.)—The Wichita-Kansas National Gas company is leasing lands in Sher- idan precinct, south of here, three or four miles, for gas and oil, and wish to lease at least eight sections in the precinct.

Lincoln, July 5.—(Special.)—It cost the state of Nebraska $1,384,942, ac- cording to the figures of the State Board of Control, to run the fifteen state institutions under the supervision of that board. The report filed with the governor covers the fiscal year ending November 30, 1915, and has no date, but the fact that it has been a long time coming (seven months) probably does not at all detract from its value as a public document. The cost of running these institu- tions was divided as follows: Maintenance $984,667.57 . 33,287,21 Fotaltire ahd squipmes 38,270.68 Miscellaneous. .- L. 351969.69 The miscellaneous expense above referred to, according to the reports, includes the amount paid for the Handicraft Furniture company and also $12,000 allowed by the.lcgislature to pay personal damage claims. There is a total population in these institutions of 4,787, 719 officers and employes, making the total in the in- stitutions 5,506, There was on parole or furlough 959, making the grand total 6,465.
