elphia-Because her fiance
twitted her about her age, Miss Emma
Perth of Reading, broke off her en-
gagement with Harry Bissell, of the
same city at the marriage license bu-
reau in the city hall this morning.
Miss Perth Indignantly told Bissell
that he talked too much for her, and
that he could go and find some other
girl to marry.
All went well until Clerk Smith be-
gan to ask the customary questions.
Bissell stated that he was "a years old,
while the bride-tobe admitted 20 sum-
mers.
"She doesn't look her age, though"
said Bissell.
You needn't apologize for me-" said
the prospective bride. 81 am old
enough to know my own mind"
you bet you are" replied Bissell.

LANDLORD OBTAINS INJUNCTION
AGAINST WOMAN.
Man Has Troublesome Tenant Re-
strained by Court From Speaking
to Him or Her Own Hus-
band About Orders.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-A Kalamazoo
man has at last discovered the way
to curb the tongue of woman. His
discovery is timely, and the only fear
is that the system will be worked
overtime.
Frank B. Morris, who owns a farm
near this city, employed Irve Savage
to work it. Savage has a wife, claimed
to be all her name implies, and soon
after the farmland and his wife had
taken possession of the tenant cottage
on the farm Mrs. Savage discovered
that she did not like the owner.
The dislike grew and finally reached
Mrs. Morris. The landowner claimed
that during his and his wife's visits
to their farm to oversee the work and
give orders Mrs. Savage made life mis-
cradle for them. Consulting an attor-
ney he was advised to make applica-
ton for an injunction.
Norris followed the advice, and his
petition was presented to Judge John
w. Adams In it he charged that
Mrs. Savage has an uncomfortable
temper, and frequently used coarse
language in his presence and that OF
his wife.
The woman was also alleged to
have influenced her husband not to
carry out the orders given by Morris,
and the landowner prayed the court
that Mrs. Savage be enjoined from
speaking to either himself or wife on
the farm or on the street. Also that
she be restrained from interfering
with her husband carrying out the or
ders his employer issued.
The injunction was issued, and the
courts order was served on Mrs. Saw
age. By it's provisions she cannot,
without being in contempt of court,
leave the lot which surrounds the
tenants cottage, nor can she speak to
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris.
Enraged by the order, Mrs. Savage

Complain of Lumber Trust.

Elmer e. Brown of Harvard called
on Attorney General Thompson to
bring him evidence concerning an al.
legged unlawful combination between
two lumber dealers in his city-the ].
H. Yost Lumber company and S. J.
Rice. Brown claimed that these men
sold lumber at exactly the same price
and that lumber dealers in nelghbor-
ing towns refused to sell him lumber
at all, though he offered the spot cash.
Brown had already written the attor-
ney general and the latter referred
the case to County Attorney Stiner Of
Clay Center, who wrote the state legal
department that he would investigate
at once. Brown also claims these men
sell coal as they do lumber and that
last winter John Balm, an independent
coal dealer, could not buy coal from
c. B. Ravens at Omaha, though he
had been buying from him for years,
because he sold coal so cents cheaper
on the ton. Balm got his coal from
Denver, though others, Brown said,
bought of Ravens.

Band for State Fair.

1.-THE first band in the world, better
than Innes,' said c. H. Ridge of the
board of managers of the state fair
when he was asked about the Liberati
band Of New York that had been en-
gagged to give concerts at the state
fair This famous band promises to
be one of the best drawing attrac-
tons the state fair has ever had. In
addition to a band of fifty pieces the
organization has with it several grand
opera singers. rhe fair management
feels that it is fortunate in being able
to present this attraction to the peo-
pie of the state.

SWANS FIGHT FOR SAME GIRL.
"You Win! Love Her, but ri Keep
Away" Says Loser.

New York. - Frank Jorden and
Thomas Sullivan, two young men from
Harlem, love the same girl, and as
they could not settle the matter peace
ably they fought five rounds on the
banks of Mott Haven creek, the Bronx,
with the agreement that the winner
was to take the girl.
Jorden won by a knockout and when
Sullivan had been revived he shook
hands with his opponent and said:
You win. love the girl, but I'll keep
my word"
About a hundred persons witnessed
the fight, having accompanied the
gladiators from Harlem. The boys
stripped to the waist, and with Michael
Hurley as referee and Frederick Cope
as timekeeper, went at it according to
marquis of Queensberry rules, except
that they used bare fists.
Just as Jorden delivered the knock
out the police arrived, and the specta-
tors literally took TO the woods, scat
tering in every direction. The name
Of the girl was not divulged, but the
way the boys went at each other
showed that they were very much in
love.

DREAM MADE HER BREAK NECK
In Turning Girl Dislocated Vertebrate
Surgeons Reset Them.

Camden, N. J.-Dreamipg of bears,
the traditional bugaboos Of childhood,
ten-year-old Olga Bennett of South
Second street was frightened so badly
by vision of the beasts pursuing her
that she turned suddenly and dislocat-
ed her neck. The pain of the disloca-
ton awakened her and she called
loudly for help. Her parents rushed to
her bedside and tried to allay her
fears, but she continued to scream I'M
til she tainted from the pain.
When the older folks attempted to
revive her they noticed that her head
hung limp from her body. Not under
standing what could all the child they
called in a physician. He saw imme-
diately that her neck was dislocated
An ambulance was called and she was
hurried to the Homeopathic hospital,
where a careful examination Of the in
jury was made 1t was found impos-
sible to make any progress in giving
the girl even temporary relief until
the X-rays were used. With their aid
an attempt was made to replace the
dislocated vertebrae.
The first few attempts were unsuc-
cessful, and the surgeons were in des-
pair of saving the child's life; but
finally an attempt was made which is
thought to have been successful. With
the aid of harness the girls head
has been put in position and held
there. 1t will be several days, how
ever, before it is known what the re-
suits of the peculiar accident will be.
In the meantime the case is being
watched with much interest by the
medical profession of this and neigh
boring cities.

Railroad Brought to Time.

c. N. Carpenter of York has won
a signal victory against the North
western and Missouri Pacific rail
roads and got possession OF carload
of coal which had been lying in the
Northwestern yards at York for a
month with demurrage charges piling
up against some one.
This carload also had charge Of
So which the Missouri Pacific placed
against it for reloading the coal from
its own car into another. The coal
was shipped from Indian Territory
and was transferred to the North
western rUa. arpenter refused tC
accept the carload and pay the extra
SIS, and the railroad agents, with their
usual assurance, declared he would
pay the S.
Carpenter came to Lincoln at the
time the coal arrived in York. He
appealed to the state commission.
The commissioners took the matter
up with ur ..Ia.Cuu aclhC, bat ne
road declared it would do nothing.
Carpenter went home, but came back
duu hlcu a. lOl COluDldluI. ne
stated in his complaint that he knew
more about the methods of the roads
than they would care to have made
public. He insisted that he would not
pay the SIS and the demurrage charges
and he asked for peremptory order
to compel the railroad to give him
the car of coal.
The commission heard the COM
plant, and when about to make the
order desired were informed by the
attorney for the Northwestern rail-
road that the matter would be fixed
up between the Missouri Pacific and
the shipper Carpenter thanked the
commission and went home to unload
his coal.
He paid out great deal more than
the SIS in fighting his case, but he
won out and will not be bothered by
similar charges after this.

Land Office Report,

The report of the southern section
of the United States land office of this
state in its report for the month Of
July shows that there were fourteen
entries for homesteads, under the Kin
kaid act mostly. Only four final
proofs were made Two entries were
cash entries, two were for 560-acre
tracts each, four were for sections as
allowed undenr the Kinkaid act, and
two others were for $50 acres each.
All these homesteads were in the four
southwest counties, Hayes, Hitchcock,
Dundy and Chase. The two cash en-.
tries were REIMBURSEMENT claims that
had been bought out. This can be done
and the land paid for at the rate of
slips an acre, provided it has been
resided on continuously for fourteen
months. This law will only apply
under the old homestead act, the Kin
kaid act especially denying the right
to pay in advance. There were no
pubic sales of isolated tracts. In
June there were several of these, but
none were applied for in July. Under
new ruling these tracts cannot be
bought for purposes of speculation.
Oath must be taken that the buyer
intends to live on the land. AS a man
can only make application once for
the sale of these isolated tracts there
is little incentive to ask for public
SALE

filed complaint with the interstate
commerce commission charging that
interstate rates charged by the Union
Pacific railroad on coal shipped from

blanket rate of $3.50 a ton is charged

sas for greater distance are 81 a
ton on Rock Springs coal. In addition
to the complaint the commission SUBJ
mits to the interstate commerce COM
mission proposed rates. 1t is said
that very little Wyoming coal is now
used in Nebraska because the com
pany will not ship the product of the
mines which it controls to this state,
and that the railroad has made lower
rates to the west, and for this reason
the coal is all going in that direction.
The Union Pacific road also consumes
"a large amount Of the product on it's
lines.
The complaint of the commission
states that the following rates are now
charged:
Rock Springs to Cheyenne, 293 miles,
$3.50; to Pine Bluff, 1928 miles, 1915;

miles, $3.50; thence on to Omaha, 500
miles, and all intermediate points,
$3.50.
To Kansas points from Rock Springs:
Cheyenne to Denver, 400 miles, $780,
to Kansas-Colorado state line, 500
miles, $3.75; Weskan, Kan, 500 miles,
Iand intermediate points, to Salina, $50
miles, $500.
The following are the rates proposed
by the Nebraska commission on coal
from Rock Springs: To Kearney, Neb.,
and all branches north and south, and
to Omaha, 1925 on lump SO on pea;
$2.75 on slack from Hershey to Elm
Creek SO lump; $2.75 on pea; 1925 on
slack; from Smead to Sidney, $3.50 on

including the main line and branches
north and south $2.75 on lump; $3.50
pm pea; 1925 on slack: from Cozad to

MAKES GOOD WINDOW SEAT.
How Old Fashioned Walnut Psrlor
Chair May De Utilized.

When you have one of the old fash.
Toned walnut parlor chairs with carved
legs you can, with the addition of
kitchen chair, make neat window
seat or couch for a den.
Remove upholsterlng and springs
from the parlor chair. This forms the
back, which you saw off, and attach
the front legs to a hollow square
which makes the frame for scat. Saw
off the pair of front legs just where
they are joined to side strip, leaving
what were the front legs and front of
seat intact. Saw off the back piece
of the square where 1t joins the sides
and you have the back legs, separated,
but each is attached to the side piece
which formerly connected them with
the front. Attach each side piece with
its corresponding back leg to the front
so that you have four front legs for
your settee, the two middle being the
former front legs of the chair, the two
end ones being the former back legs.
Treat the kitchen chair siiallarly and
you have four back legs; stain to
match front IL possible Join front
to back by strip of two by four or
other strong pieces; nail boards close
together for seat. Cover with excel
sior or old quilt, over which nail, with
brass tacks, pretty cover. An old
portiere, cretonne. or even a pretty
piece of old carpet or rug will do. Let
the cover fall over in front to hide

Profit on Butter Fat.

In a letter to the state railway
commission d. B. White, government
expert on dairying, stated that the
net profit on butter fat is $7.4O a

estimate is based on an estimate of
Is cents a pound for the product and
an expense of $5.S5 for manufa tur

in these calculations is 25 cents a
pound. Mr.. White also includes cop
ies of kilograms exchanged between
