Saturday a team of cornhuskers from this
state came up to Detroit and defeated the

people And IL it had not been for an
Iowa born boy, who happened to be living
in Michigan at the time, our heroes would
not have had a score to their credit At
the close OF the game. The mission OF the
fraternal organization Is the display of a
humanitarian spirit, The societies have
their missions as well as the churches.
They are here for the purpose of mutual
aid and protection among the members.
We have the social features and the bene-

bury the dead and provide benefits for the

become such a recognized need and bene-
| 1T that over 5000 900 people belong to them.
"Our contributions to these organizations
have made us richer. The few dollars con-
| trlbuted by each member have made no one
poor, but have resulted In making people
all over the world better and richer. The
associations have taught people to help
themselves. The members OF these assoc
Citations are the sinew and bone OF the ma

TAX FERRET CONTRACT is VOID.
Attorney snys the Deal is Contrary TO
Police poIicy.


The contract entered into by the Board OF
County Supervisors with +. NJ Cunningham
to ferret out taxable property which has es-
capped assessment is outawed for the simple
reason that the board has no right to give
away 90 per cent Of any money that belongs
to the county for work which by rights
should be done by county officers whose sal
aries are paid by the taxpayers"
This statement was made by a prominent
member OF the local bar yesterday while dis
cussing the matter with several county
officials at the court house. He said, fur
ther that ne believed in the event OF the
supervisors attempting TO fulfill their part
of the contract the courts would be certainly

moneys might be collected through his ef-
forts. The contention of Cunningham. he
said, that the law Is unconstitutional in
that It abrogated existing contracts. might
hold in certain instances, but in this case
1t is evident that the law was passed for
the very purpose OF nullifying contracts en-
tered into by boards OF county supervisors
which on their very face are illegal and con-
trary to public policy lie further expressed
the opinion that the supreme court, in view
of the intent OF the act would hold 1t con-

H. NJ. Cunningham, who has not been In
the city since last January, arrived here
yesterday and at once started to work on
the claims filed by depositors against Officer
& Pusey's bank. He stated that he eX-
pected to flnd that many of the largest de-
positors had failed to list their interest
bearing deposits in the bank at the time
they made their returns to the assessor last
January and consequently these deposits
had escaped taxation. lie was unable TO
state when he would be prepared to file his
report with the board, but might make n
partial one soon. MIR. Cunningham de-
clined to state whether he had discovered
much property in this county which had
seemingly escaped proper taxation He said,
however. that he was not In the least fear
full about the board not carrying out its con-
tract with him. when told that County At
torney Fitzpatrick had given II as his opin-
ion that the board could not legally carry
out the contract in the face Of the act passed
by the last legislature, Mr. Cunningham said
he could very soon make Mr.. Fitzpatrick
think differently The reason, he said, that
the legislature passed the law was because
90 per cent of the members OF the house
were "tax dodgers"

REMLEY SEES AN OPENING
Attorney Generals Plan to Secure an Early
Amendment Opinion.
WILL REFUSE TO TURN OVER HIS OFFICE
This Action VIII Force the Supreme
Court to Deliver n Decision That
VIII cover In Euil the Point
in Dispute.

DES MONIES, Nov. 16.--(Special Tele-
gram )-Attorney General Remley has un-
der consideration plan by which he hopes
to secure from the supreme court an opln-
ion upon the complications presented by
the Titus amendment without having tc
wait for the matter TO come up in the usual
way through the lower courts and be de-
cded by that body The attorney general
is out OF the city today and so could not
be reached in regard to the plan, but It is
stated on reliable authority that he will
refuse to vacate his Office on the first Mon
day in January and that Senator c. w
Mullan, as attorney general-clect, will
move that the supreme court recognize
him as the legally elected attorney gen-
eral The court will then be confronted
with a motion which II must either sus-
tain or overrule and which will afford an
opportunity for u lengthy opinion on the
question, settling all similar cases which
may have arisen in the state by reason OF
the defect in the amendment
An opinion of this kind by the court
would be to the same end as an opinion
rendered In a case appealed from lower
court. II would affect not only the par.
ticular case of the attorney general, but
the Offices of secretary of state and treas
attorney, county auditor. county recorder
and county supervisors where the present
lncumbents were not elected to succeed
themselves, as we'll as all township offi-

THE BUSY FAIRIES.

when little children lie asleep
The fairies leave the sky.
And through the windows slyly creep
And touch each sleepy eye,
And on the little beds they sit,
And round the curly heaos they fit
Till rosy mornings nigh.
when an the story tc,Eag's done
The fairies come to stay
And watch beside each little one
TIL Dawn wakes up the day;
Where silvery beams of moonlight
stream
In happy dreams fair castles CLEAN,
While fairies watch away.
"And when the sky above Is blue
And when the sun is high,
What do the little fairies do?-
They make our money fly!
The dollars that were hard to earn
They pile up in the yard to burn,
Or waste them on the sly.
They make new gowns too old to use
And little trousers tear:
They touch the toes of little shoes
And prestoi holes are there
They win away by spelling things
The money that rsuch toiling brings
But leave US love to sharei''
