Much Improved.

much improved.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-Mrs
McKinley's condition was so far i'm
proved last evening that she was able
tC sit up for a while. This welcome
news was given out shortly after 5
o'clock.
General Shafter called on President
Mckinley and while they were talk
ing word came downstairs that Mrs
Mckinley was sitting up. The presi-
dent at once asked to be excused and
hurried to the sick room. The anx-'
iety caused by last nights bulletin,
stating that Mrs. McKinley's temper
ature was higher, was dispelled at 10
o'clock this morning, when Secretary
Cortelyou announced that she had
passed a comfortable night and that
the slight fever noted last night had
been subsided. The president did not
attend church, but remained at home
nearly all day, only going out for
short walk just before noon. There
were many callers at the Scott resi-
dence today. There was a general
feeling that the crisis had been passed
and that Mrs. Mckinley would con-
tinue to gain strength. No definite
date has yet been decided upon as to
when the president will start for the
national capital, but it is hoped that
Mrs. Mckinley will be able to go
within few days.
Eecretpry Long left for Colorado
Springs to visit his daughter, who is
ill.
At 9:10 p. m. Secretary Cortelyou
gave out the following bulletin:
Mrs. McKinley's physicians report
that she has had very good day and
progress made since morning is sat

Occupation Tax Rnlinr

LINCOLN, May Estate Superin-
tendent Of Schools Fowler, acting on
a case submitted to him from Tobias.
has taken the position that the school
district is entitled to the whole of oc-
cupation taxes as we'll as license fees.
and that the former cannot legally be
diverted to the use of the village or
municipality. In the case in question
a license fee of $500 is levied on sa-
loon keepers and in addition an oc-
cupation tax of $500, the latter being
turned into the city and the former
into the school treasury. Mr.. Fowler
holds that the school district is en-
titled to the entire $1,000, and bases
his position on section 5, article 8, of
the state constitution and on three
decisions of the supreme court of the
state.

MRS. LAUE IS DISCHARGED.
Was Promised Immunity for Testifyiu

Was Promised Immunity for Testifyine
Against Dinsmore.
KEARNEY, Neb., May 16.-District
court has been in session here this
week, with Judge Adams Of Minden
presiding. The docket was very
light. Before adjourning Judge Adams
stated he had received word from
Judge Sullivan asking him to enter
an order discharging Mrs. Laue from
the custody of the sheriff, which he
did. 1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Laue was the principal witness in the
Dlnsmore case, and she has been in
the custody of the sheriff ever since
his case was tried over a year ago. In
his letter to Judge Adams, Judge Sui
Ivan stated that at the time Dins-
more was tried the county attorney
and his assistants told him they were
unable to convict Dinsmore without
her testimony, and her attorney re-
fused to allow her to testify unless
immunity was promised. The promise
OF immunity was thereupon given and
she was permitted to go on the stand
and testify. Hence her discharge was
simply fulf1llment of that promise.

The snartan Japs.

The Japanese are a Spartan race.
Many things besides their resistance
to cold prove it. The most OF them
live in simplicity. They can go long
time without food. The coolies per-
form marvellous feats Of strength and
endurance; they draw a "jinrikisha
all day or carry travellers over the
steepest mountains. Every summer a
colony of foreigners go to Mount Hell
Eizan, near Kioto. Their camp is sew
eral miles up the steep mountain side,
but early each morning the japanese
bring up the mail, fresh vegetables
and milk, and women often carry
trunks to the summit on their heads.

SCHOOL LAND IN DEMAND.
All Desirable Acres Have Been Placed
Under Contract,


Under Contract.
LINCOL.., Neb., May 20.-Aside
from few hundred acres of undesir-
able land in the northwestern cor
ner OF the state, all of the Nebraska
school land has been placed under
lease and it is not likely that any of
it will be released by the holders un-
til the latter part of the year. Land
Commissioner Follmer is planning to
hold auctions in September or -Octo-
Der if there is any land available at
that time, but the present outlook,
ne considers, is not encouraging. The
holders of leases are paying their
rentals promptly and no disposition
is being shown to forfeit any of the
land.
There is a heavy demand from all
parts Of the state for school lands
and especially in the cattle country,
where land seems to be more valu-
able than at any time in the last ten
years. The only school land not un-
der lease is situated in the "bad
lands.' a section of the state unfav-
cradle to farming or cattle raising.
II any land is forfeited during the
summer or voluntarily released by
the holders it will be leased at auction
by Commissioner Follmer during the
fall of the year.

He goes on 10 say that the mild climate of northwestern Eu- rope is due. not to the Gulf stream, but to the prevailing eastward and north westward drift of the air currents s which distribute the heat conserved by the whole of the Atlantic ocnan north of latitude Sj degrees. If by any possi- bilty the Gulf stream were diverted at the straEs of Florida no one in Eng land would be whFs the wiser. for it is the aerial drift that has thu gift of mildress in it's flow
