CLEMENCY ASKED FOR “PEN" TRUSTIES Pardon “Board Suggests Bert Pickrell's Life Term Be Commuted. > " OTHERS TO GET FAVORS Lincoln, Dec. 12.—(Special.)—Sec- retary E. G. Maggi of the State Par- don board filed with Governor More- head this morning three recommenda- tions for clemency for applicants who appeared before the board at its last | meeting. Bert Pickrell, serving a scatence for second decree murder in Sioux * county,” has been recommended for executive clemency. Pickrell killed his % wife. Mrs. DPickrell, the evidence showed, was associated with women of unsavory reputation and with men of the same stamp and this so worked upon the mind of Pickrell that he killed her. He was 22 years old at the time and has served about five years. The judge before whom he was tried and several others have asked the governor to grant clemency. Terry Liggett, who is serinv time on a statutory charge, has been recommended for clemency. The crime was committed in Thurston county and both, the man and the girl were anxious to get married, but the father of the girl refused to allow his daughter to marry the man and a petition signed by 500 résidents of Thurston county, backed up by the county attorney and the sheriff and also by the judge of that district, i asks that clemency be grant®d. Pfi Carl Huston sent up from Platts- mouth for stealing a seine from the owner, is recommended for clemency backed by the request of the county attorney of Cass county andother of- { ficials. / (‘ All three of these men have been trusties at the penitentiary.

Beckmann Says Auditor’s Job Is Most Useless One (From a Staff Correspondent.) { Lincoln, Dec. 12—(Special.)—The . recommendation of State Auditor Smith that the land commissioner’s department should be consolidated with the auditor’s department does not meet with favor by Land Com- t missioner Fred Beckman, who comes ) back with a recommendation that if any department of the state needs ' to be consolidated with other depart- ments, it is that of the state auditor. Mr. Beckman says that the insur- ance department has been divorced from the auditor’s office and that suit for divorce could equally be brought to separate the department of ex- amination of county treasurers from the auditor’s office and give it to the State Banking'board. He would place the secretary of the Board of Equali- zation with the land commissioner, as the duties of the office have much to do with land business, and this he insists would leave nothing in the auditor’s office but business of a legal nature and that should be taken over by the legal department of the-state in the attorney general’s office, where " there are three deputies, one of whom * could look after that work.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Dec. 12.—(Special.)—For a time yesterday at the meeting of the State Normal board it looked as if peace had been declared and that ghe mb and the lion would lic down fo- ther. State Superintendent Thomas made motion and with a haste that indicated the dove of peace was ap- proaching, Colonel Thomas Majors hastened to second the same. Smiles passed around, but later when an ef- fort was made to postpone the election of a rural school instructor for the Wayne Normal, and the name of As- sistant Superintendent” Teed pf the state superintendent’s office was named, the dove took a last despair- ing look at the members of the board, | & spread its wings and sailed away through the cold atmosphere on the outside.

A FINE TREATMENT FOR CATARRH EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE Catarrh is such an ipsidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that its treatment should pe un- derstood by all. A Science has fully proved that Catarrh is a constitutional disease and therefore re- quires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, in- halers, salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease further down the air passages and into the lungs. If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deaf- ness or head-noises, go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it 3% pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granu- lated sugar; stir until dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4 times a day. ‘This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head-noises, clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and mucus stop dropping into the throat. This treatment has a slight tonic action which makes it especially effective in cases where the blood has become thin and weak. It is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs little. Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive - disease should give this treatment a trial.—Advertisement. —_- have Sure Way To Get Rid Of Dandruff There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This de- stroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordi- nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your| dandruff will be gone, and three or four more epplications will complete- ly destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter fow much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and seft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces it all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known 12 fail . ] BELL-AN Absolutely Removes | Indigestion.
