Never IL the history OF the Office
has the land been so closely leased
and the law SO carefully followed In
the collection of delinquent interest as
during the present administration.
There liz now but seven hundred sixty
five and s%ix-tenths acres Unbiased
school land In the whole state. This
fact will account for the increase In
the school apportionmcnt which ex-
ceeded any other apportionment lex
cepting one) ever made The time Ia
nj hand when outstanding sale con-
tracts will mature rapidly and be con
verted into cash. Only through the
careful leasing Of heretofore non-rev-
enue producing lands and the collect
ing Of all moneys due the state has
Mr.. Follmer been enabled to throw
into the school apportionment so large
a sum of money as the last apportion-
ment.
Owing TO the carefulness and watch
fulncss Of Mr.. Follmer. few forfeitures
will need to be made this year., thus a
great saving will be made to the state
in that auctions Of school lands will
be held In but few counties.
Those who are personally acQuaint-
cd with Mr.. Follmer know that he has
always proved to be a painstaking Of
fetal. guarding the interests or the
state as carefully as he always has
guarded his W personal interests.
His record proves him to be a safe,
conservative and carc-taking Official.
The voters of this state cannot do bet
ter than stand by the man who has
placed himself on record as a faithful
guardian Of all public interests en-
trusted to- his keeping. A vote for Mr..
Follmer means protection for all the
vast interests of the state entrusted to
hts care.

Warm Congressional Campaign.

The redistricting of Mississippi had
a curious result. Three Democratic

STRANGE New Herbs.

The gardens and fields OF Yucatan
are filed with s%ucculent vegetables
and odorous herbs unknown to the
outer world. In the cultivated fields
at the proper seasons are grown
classes of Indian corn, beans. squashes
and tubers for which we have no
name, for the reason that we have
never seer or heard OF them. reports
the P%ittsburg Dispatch. The forests
and jungles contain fruits that. excel
lent even in their wild state, could be
made delicious by scientific care and
cultivation. There are half a core
of wild fruits that offer more promis'
ing results than did the bitter wild
almond. the progenitor Of the peach.

ANOTHER GENIUS.

Nebraska has been somewhat far'ons
In its production OF men OF more than
an ordinary turn of mind, but the last
one to spring to the surface seems to
have the capacity to outstrip them all.
He appears before the public through
his magazine called The Knocker, a
Journal for Cranks." The magazine Is
all that the name implies and during
the past few months has taken front
place In the literary reviews OF many
OF the largest publications, getting
first mention from the Chicago Chroni-
Gle and New York Herald. II mas

IL Is conceded by school men and
educators of all parties that W. X.
Fowler, superintendent of public in
struction, Ia the most thorough and
practical state superintendent Ne
braska I'VE had. Mr.. Fowler IL de-
voted to educational work. His whole
life is wrapped up In the schools. Mt
a minute of his time has been devoted
to IN other than educational work
since he assumed the state superin-
tendency. He has familiarized himself
with the schools throughout the state
and has acquired a knowledge OF their
needs and conditions which qualities
him for successful and efficient service.
George w. Marsh has set a high ex-
ample a. secretary of state. Unlike
ex-Secretary Porter. Mr.. Marsh has
never undertaken to Justify the appro-
priation Of public fees to his Owl use.
Mr.. Marsh has turned over to the
state every penny In fees collected. and
As n member of several important
boards. which are constituted as heads
of the executive department, he has
been a stickler for honesty and econ
omy. Nebraska has never had a more
faithful and deserving official than
George w. Marsh.
II might be of some interest to show
the official figures along the line OF the
fees from the Office. turned into the
state treasury. The same fee law has
been in operation under both admin
istrations. but the figures tell an i'm
portant story.
Secretary Porter turned In fees as
follows:
January 1. 1897. to Sept. 1. 1898, $21.-
4S2.47.
January 1. 1899. to Sept. 1. 1900. $l9.-
214.2O.
Secretary Marsh turned in fees as
follows:
January LIST. 1901, to September 1,
1902. $47,663. SO.
Thus IL will be seen that in the same
period Of time Mr.. Marsh turned over
to the state more than twice as much
money In fees as did Porter and In the
eight months turned In nearly $1,000
more in fees than Porter did in two
periods Of eight months each or In
sixteen months.
During the four years that the fu'
~sionists controlled Nebraska the fees
from the office OF secretary OF state
turned into the state treasury only
amounted to about $1,000 above the ex'
penses Of the department. while in the
twenty months under the present re
publican administration over $780, O(
has been turned in to the state above
the expenses. or at the rate OF $1,5O(
per month. When the record Is com
pleted 1t will be seen that Secretary
Marsh has turned over to the treas
ury more than five times as mucf
fee money in two years as Secretar!
Porter did in four years. OF course
Mr.. Marsh has not stolen the fee:

DEFICIT IS NO BAR
SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES TO PRO-
CEED WITH CONTEMPLATED
IMPROVEMENTS
IGNORE M'CARDY's STATEMENT
JuggIer of Figures Asserts That Al
IOwance of $I25,OOO Has
DvindIed to a PaItry
$40, 900.

Last December the conference commit
tee and the common council insered in the
budget an item of $1250 900 for the con-
struction of new school buildings and the
purchase of new sites. Acting on the
supposition that the amount was in the
city treasury to their credit the members
of the school board planned for new
school buildings to the amount of over
500, 900. City Comptroller McCardy now
informs the board that there is no. such
amount to its credit, the best he can do
being $4,000.
This unexpected state of affairs fur
nished the theme for lively discussion of
the meeting of the board last night and
was prolific in remarks anything but
complimentary to the council and Mr..
McCardy, to whom the blame is credited
by the board.
To be brief, Mr.. McCardy informed the
board that a goodly portion of the $125, 900
which was allowed by the council has
been used in paying off contracts already
in existence, and that all the board can
now contract against is what remains,
about $45, 000 The conference committee
and the council might have promised IN
times past a stated amount, but it was
never realized when the taxes were paid.
''Well, it's not our business to keep
track of mistakes that the council and
Mr.. McCardy make" remarked one OF
the members. I've were promised so
much money and it's up to them to see
that we get it.
One cause OF the shortage was credited
by Mr.. McCardy to the fact that the
miscellaneous receipts had been over
estimated. After arguing the matter at
length, the board decided that it was not
at fault and decided upon the passage of
a resolution instructing the placing OF
contracts for all the improvements for
which bids had been asked and received.
This will put the whole thing up to
the council" said one member, land they
can busy themselves trying to find out
why the money is not there. We have
done our duty"
The substance of the whole thing IS
that there will be few new buildings built
or enlarged this year. Mr.. McCardy
says that the money receive ed has been
used in paying old bills and he will not
coUntersign any contracts against more
money than there is in the treasury TO
the credit Of the school building fund.
The board organized by re-electing Ber-
nard Zimmerman as president, and
James P. Healy as secretary. George N.
Gerlach was reelected superintendent of
schools and his salary increased $780, He
will not receive S, 800 a year.

ADJUST LOSS IN CHURCH
COMPANIES WILL PAY PEOPLES
CHURCH TRUSTEES $4,000.

The loss on the Peoples church, which
was destroyed some time ago by fire,
was adjusted yesterday, the insurance
companies agreeing to pay the full face
of the policies which will amount to
$4,000 Contrary to expectations toe walls
of the church have been discovered to be
in excellent condition and if the church is
to be rebuilt on the same site they can
be used. This report was made yesterday
by a special committee appointed by the
church to look into the matter
While lie congregation of the Peoples
church has taken no definite action as to
the rebuilding of their church, the general
sentiment appears to be in favor of the
erecting of a building on the same site.
Action on the matter has been deferred
until a report on the condition of me
walls was received Inasmuch as the
walls are estimated to be worth $50 coo
there is little question that they will be
utilized.
Those of the congregation who have
gone 10 the matter of rebuilding are of
the opinion that with the insurance
money, the walls and about $4,000 addi-
tional, a suitable structure can be erected
without any debt being contracted.

DESIRE FOR PURE FOOD
HOUSE COMMITTEE HEARS ADVO-
GATES OF HYGIENE LAWS.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE house
committee on interstate and foreign com
merce today began a series of hearings
on proposed pure food legislation. The
hearing was largely attended by repre-
sentatives of the pure food and drug or
CARNATIONS, including Or. William Frear,
chairman of the executive committee Of
the National Pure Food and Drug con-
gress, and F. B. Thurber, president of the
National Pure Food society. The COM
mercial industries were also we'll repre-
scented.

the bill of Repre- sentative Hepburn,
which restraints interstate traffic in food
and drug prooucts injurious to health and
requires the branding of such products
1t also creates a board of twelve men,

DR.. Frear set forth the extent Oh food
adulteration and how widely the adul-
terated goods were distributed by inter
state traffic. Being general instead of
local, he contended that the remedy
should be applied by the government, not
by the states.
He was questioned at length by mem
bers Of the committee, mainly On details
of adulteration and On the merits Of ma
tional as against state legislation. The
hearings will proceed tomorrow.

MINNESOTA IN THE LEAD
MORE ENTRIES IN BUTTER CON-
TEST THAN ANY OTHER STATE
Creamery Industry Has Doomed Con-
sistentIy Since Beginning of
New Year, Many New
Creameries.

Minnesota continues in the lead in the
number of creamery buttermakers apply
ing for representation in the proposed ma
tional butter scoring contest under the
supervision of the National Creamery
Buttermal1ers' association.
Up to the present time about 200 en-
tries have been received, of which 20
are from Minnesota, 40 from Iowa and
so from Wisconsin. The following Min
nesota creamery men entered last week:
c. A. Rasmussen, Owatonna; A. D.
Smith. Willmar; o. E. Weber. FSsyers
P. Miller, Georgeville; Edwin He'd, Kloss-
ner; L. H. Belden, Hart; Andrew Larson,
Marine, Mimi; H. A. Hanson, Odin.
The dairy and food department is graft
fed that Minnesota maintains so marked
a lead in this matter. ut would GER
tainly be no little honor If the contest is
pulled off to have half Of the total num-
Der of applicants from Minnesota. 1t
would not only be a tribute to the en-
terprise of the dairymen of the state,
but 1t would increase Minnesota
chances to share in the best prizes of the
contest" says Commissioner McCon-
sell.
The creamery industry continues to
Boom in Minnesota. A Chicago bulletin,
which chronicles all the new creameries
from week TO week, has for the past six
weeks given more space to Minnesota
Than to any other state in the Union.
Last weeks list announced proposed new
creameries in the following places:
Perley, Browns Valley, Green Meadow,
Elysian, Florn, Arlington, Erskine, Jas
per, Iona, Sugar Loaf
If the rate of increase reported thus
far this year is maintained, no state in
the Union will be able to show better
record in creamery building than Mime
sofa. The dairy and food department is
agitating the building of creameries and
cheese factories continuously.

C0LLIDED WITH RAM
MRS. SCHNEIDER ASKS COURT TO
AWARD HER HEAVY DAMAGES
IN CONSEQUENCE
APPRAIsEs INJURY At $4,000
Counsel for Defense Contends That
Alleged PugnaciOus Ram Was
a Lamb Only Five
Months Old.

A damage suit which in itself possesses
some unique features and which upon
being presented in court has developed
other points Slightly out of the ordinary
is that of Bertha Schneider against John
Mulholland and his wife, Mary Mulhol-
land. The action is a consequence OF an
eXuberant demonstration of rude playful
ness on the part Of a ram owned by the
Mulhollands, which incident, it is said, re-
suited in serious bodily injury to the
plaintiff.
Mrs Schneider, whose age is ninety
three years, lives on Siegel street and
in close proximity to the home of the
Mulhollands and their ram. From the al
Legations Of the plaintiff it appears that
on Dec. 2 last while she was standing
outside her house the Mulhouand ram,
straying over that way, charged her
fercely from a direction in which she was
not looking and knocked her down, caus-
ing a fracture of her thigh bone. She
demands $1,000 damages for her injuries.
When the case was taken up for trial
yesterday the pleadings were first called
into question, c. d. O'Brien, for the de-
PENDANTS, objectfng that there was no re-
ply on file. Mr.. Bjorn. counsel for the
plaintiff, thought no reply was necessary,
put the court took the other view of the
question and permitted the plaintiff to
ME reply on payment of SO costs.
incidentally Mr.. O'Brien asked the
court to take judicial notice of the fact
that lamb of the tender age of five
months even though of the male sex, and
therefore designated as a ram, could not
by nature be of vicious disposition.
1radluon and natural history tended to
snow that lambs were playful, but with
out regarding all the teachings of litera-
ture on the subject, it could not be ac-
cepted that lamb would be vicious.
Inc plaintiff did not appear in court.
and it was explained that she was still
suffering from her injuries and unable to
leave her home.

FEAR OF THE TRUST
CREAMERY COMBINE MAKING NO
HEADWAY IN MINNESOTA.

Creamery Inspector D. B. White, OF
the state dairy and food department,
says the creamery trust is practically
beaten, although it is still pursuing its
well known tactics in Minnesota. 1.-The
trust" says Mr.. White, lis still secqr-
ing a considerable number Of patrons by
making fattering offers to the patrons
of regular creameries who do not seem
to be satisfied with the creamerfes they
are dealing with. This is but a tempo
rary gain, however, as the disgruntled
ones very soon become equally tired Of
the trust methods and come back to the
-creameries and become their best
patrons. I am sure that we have the
creamery trust practically crippled and
practically unable to make any head
way among our farmers We have car
ried our agitation on throughout the
state, and the farmers are not to be
caught any more by the apparently gen.
erous offers of the trust agents.
