SCHUYLER, Neb., July A-(Special.)-
Deputy Game Wardens Hunger and Smith
arrived here last Saturday night and spent
yesterday on fishing trip on Shell creek.
As a result Frank Kudrana was brought
before the county judge this morning and
charged with having a fish spear in his
possession and with attempting to use the
same on Shell creek yesterday. He pleaded
guilty and was fined S25 and costs, which
he paid The wardens stated that he let
the water out of the dam on Shell creek
at Dworak's mill and intended to spear the
fish. The wardens also Investigated the
dynamiting of Shell creek last week and
found clues to the parties who did it.
Last week some person or persons dyna-
mited the creek, killing a large number of
fish. AS the penalty for-this kind of work
is a penitentiary sentence or a heavy fine
the parties who did 1t are likely to find
themselves in serious trouble. The wardens
left this afternoon without taking any ac-
ton in the matter.

In commenting upon the removal of the
body OF John Paul Jones from France TO
America the Providence Or. L. Journal
speaks of the overlooking of one who did
much to bring about this final honor to
the founder of the American navy. 1t says:
This is Miss Marion Howard Brazierl of
Boston than. whom few have done more I'm
arousing interest in the search for the
naval hero's resting place Miss Brazier
is prominent member of the New England
Women's Press association, and is promi-
nent in Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton circles, besides being on the stan of
several papers and magazines, This gave
opportunity to keep the name OF John Paul
Jones before the public, and she lost not
a single chance.
'As the one woman who honored the
memory of John Paul Jones by founding
and naming chapter for him, 1t is es-
pecially fitting that she should be the
official representative of the Massachusetts
Daughters of the American Revolution, at
the exercises to be held in Annapolis, when
the body is consigned to what it is hoped
will be its last resting place.
Besides naming the chapter Miss Brazier
was instrumental in having Boston school
house called after the hero who had so
aroused her interest, and she also raised
money with which to purchase a bronze
tablet for its walls. 1t is. therefore, safe
to say that few of the many who partici-
pate In the services at Annapolis will do
so with a more intense personal interest
than will the woman who has for years
worked 10 bring them about"

LINCOLN, July a-(Special.) 1.-The State
Board Of Equalization worked today on the
valuation OF household goods and discov-
cred during its meanderinss over the tab
ulations OF property that eighteen counties
in the state had returned no state banks,
while Garfield county returned no merchan-
disc. This county last year returned mer-
chandise to the value of 5000. The ooun-
ties which have returned no state banks
will be called upon to explain, while Car
field county viii also be asked to come in
with store or two at least. The board
increased the assessment of threshing ma
chimes from S16s, s64 to s1s4,551; sewing INA
chimes from S22s,e7s to S257, 755; watches and
clocks were left at S2i2s69, while carriages
were increased from 4l.265.6Ss TO s1s16.s46.
Secretary Bennett received letter from
the county assessor Of Valley county today
calling him numerous pet names for send
ing him a telegram to hurry up his assess
ment returns. He closed by saying he
would do all in his power TO prevent Ben
nett from succeeding himself as secretary
of the board. AS matter of fact the telo-
gram was sent at the instance of the board
and the assessor Of Valley county jutaped
on the wrong party.

WON n IN CLUB AND CHARITY.

The National Consumers League has is
sued a folder recently that ought to afford
a number of hints to women for a practical
means of helping to abolish the sweatshop
system and all it's attendant evils. 1t
reads in part as follows: 1T shall be the
special object of the National Consumers
League to secure adequate investigation of
conditions under which goods are made in
order to enable purchasers to distinguish
in favor of goods made in we'll ordered
factories. The majority OF employers are
virtually helpless to maintain high stand
ard as to hours, wages and work conditions
under the stress or competition unless sus-
tanned by the cooperation Of consumers.
Therefor the National Consumers League
also proposes to educate public opinion and
endeavor so to direct Its force as to pro-
mote better conditions among the workers
while securing to the consumer exemption
from the dangers attending unwholesome
conditions. 1t further proposes to promote
legislation, either state or federal, when
ever it may be expedient." 1t says further
that the responsibility for some of the
worst evils from which the producer suf-
fers rests with the consumers who seek the
cheapest markets regardless of how cheap
ness is brought about. That 1t is therefor
the duty of consumers to find out under
what conditions the articles they purchase
are produced and distributed and insist
that these conditions shall be wholesome
and consistent with a respectable existence
on the part of the workers" The club
women have already proven a valuable
auxiliary to the league and have been in
strumental in bringing about many much
needed improvements in the conditions of
the workers.
