WINTER SONG.
Sylvia, let the autumn 20,
With its pagentry of gold,
And its sunset splendors spun
From the rich loom of the sun;
Welcome to the keening cold,
And the winds that swirl the snow!
Sylvia, let the autumn go!
What to us is all it's gold?
If so be it love abide,
Little heed we time or tide
If the summer clothe the void.
Or the world be wrapt in snow!
Clinton Scollard, in the Munsev.

NEBRASKA ASSESSORS
They Must Gather statistics and Receive
No Pay Therefor.

Nebraska's assessors must do a little
extra work now and that without eX-
ira compensation. Thus saith the SUI
preme court, and the decree is mex
orablc.
For a number of years the deputy
commissioner OF labor has found him
self handicapped in compiling statistics
through the failure of assessors In
many of the counties to collect all the
statistics directed by law. There was
nothing in the statute granting asses
sors n additional compensation for
the extra work requested of them. and
a number refused absolutely to do 1t.
Lancaster's officials. say the deputy
labor commissioner, have been espe-
Cially ~obstreperous in the matter.
when requested to CLEAN the desired
information on their rounds this spring
they declined emphatiCally. l.. n. Els
kew of Normal was the victim chosen
to combat the insistent Mr.. Watson,
deputy labor commissioner at present.
On behalf of Mr.. Watson. Attorney
General Prout applied to the supreme
court direct for a writ of mandamus to
compel the assessors to 10 this work.
The case was vigorously contested. but
the court handed down the decision
Thursday that Mr.. Watson was in the
right and the writ was issued accord
ingly in compliance with the prayer of
Mr.. Prout.

THREE BROTHERS SHOT


Nebraska Dakota Border Dispute Causes
u Tragedy.
A Sioux City, Ia. May ., dispatch
says: In a fight with Sheriff Lewiston
and posse of Union county, South Da-
kato, three brothers named Turgeon
were shot five miles northwest of
Sioux City yesterday afternoon, and
one of them, Fred Turgeon. may die.
The trouble was over accretion land,
the dispute being whether it lies in
South Dakota or Nebraska. Mrs. s.. $.
Adams of Sioux City owns the tract,
and has had her claims accredited by
the federal court, but because the Mis-
souri, river has divided and also added
to II, the idea popularity obtains that
half of it lies In South Dakota and
half in Nebraska. Mrs. Adams leased
her holdings to We brothers named
kobb, who started this spring to farm
il. Their claim was invaded by three
brothers named Turgeon, and the
sheriff of Union county, South Dakota,
was sem to dispossess them. In a
battle with pistols and rifles the three
T%urgeons were shot, Fred Turgeon
probably fatally. None of the sheriff's
posse was hurt.

CROP CONDITIONS
Rains the Past several Days Helpful to
throwing Wheat.

"ToNtus "hea'
The winter wheat prospect in Ne
braska has been greatly improved by
the rains of the past week. According
to the weekly bulletin issued Tuesday
by Section Director L.oveland at the
university weather station. the crop
will yield from three-fourths to an
average harvest in the greater portion
of the wheat belt. In summarizing the
situation, the report says:
The past week has been warm, with
generous showers the first days If the
week. The daily mean temperature
has averaged about . degrees above the
normal.
The rainfall occurred on the first
days of the week and gradually
amounted to between O.75 OF an inch
and an inch.
The past week has been a favorable
one for the growth of all vegetation.
Winter wheat has improved very much
in condition. In a few Of the south
ern counties the rain was too late to
benefit the earlier fields, and the crop
now promises less than half the aver
age crop. In a large part OF the win
ter wheat belt, however. the prospect
is that with favorable weather from
nearly three-fourths to a full crop will
be realized. Grass in pastures and
meadows has improved. but is still de-
cidedly below the average condition at
this time of year. Oats have grown
", IL during the week. The soil is in
excellent condition and corn planting
has progressed rapidly. The early
planted is coming up nicely. Fruit
trees are blossoming very fully in
northern counties; cherries are setting
poorly in southern counties.

The loss on the drug store cannot be
estimated at this time. as some stock
and fixtures were saved. The streets
are full of stock and fixtures. The
large plate glass windows in the new
brick building across the street were
destroyed by heat.
The brick restaurant of T.. ID. Nicth
was saved by tearing down the annex
to Whites drug store.
The block burned is the northwest
block on Beaver street and contained
some of the oldest buildings in the
town. The fire company could do moth
ing towards subduing the fire, as il had
gained too much Roadway before being
discovered.
The trans Mississippi and German
Mutual Insurance companies of Omaha
are some of the companies that carried
insurance on the burned buildings. The
origin OF the fire is unknown.
The total loss. it is believed, will not
