Secretary Junkin Reports.

Secretary of State Junkin told the
last Legislature he believed he could
collect $4,000 in two years in fees II
the law was amended so as to in
crease the fees for filing articles OF
incorporation, requiring the refiling of
brands and make The 81 license fee
for motor vehicles an annual license.
These changes were made in the law
and the estimate of the secretary of
state is being closely approached. His
semi-annual report shows the collec-
ton of $15,354.49 in six months. This
with $12,373.72 received during the
previous six months makes total OF
$27,90S.21 in fees received during the
year. This is about double the amount
ever received in one year by any pre-
vious secretary of state. Th office ex-
pnses for the six months exclusive Of
salaries amounted to $1,46597. The
fees received during the six months
aggregated $15,S54.49.

Russian Church Architecture.

Nothing shows more clearly how
far from the main stream Of Europe
the currents of Russian life have
flowed than the architecture of the
Russian churches. The new church
OF the Redeemer, erected in memory
of the grandfather of the present GEAR,
which was dedicated by the car in st.
Petersburg few weeks ago. is a good
example Of the prevailing Russian
style. 1t Is not Gothic, nor Greek, nor
Roman, nor yet Renaissance. The in
fiuences which have fixed the Russian
church architecture are Asiatic rather
than European, remarks the Youths
Companion. The predominating arches
are Indian rather than Roman, and
the domes, with their bullying sides,
come from Asia and the non-Christian
races. Russia itself was in closer re-
lations with Asia than with Europe
till Peter the Great turned the face of
the empire westward and began the
recreating Of semi-savage nation into
European power by building his new
capital In close contact by sea with
the western world. But the choice of
the oriental type of architecture for so
splendid church as that recently ded-
icated proves that the influence of
Asia is still strong.

ommendation made by the examiner

Another examination of the company

paid out during the year all of this

ing made by the governor and by the

boys to whom this money belongs,

No Work. No Food for Indians.

Indian Commissioner Leupp at
tributes the little trouble among the
Utes to the fact that the Indians will
not work and thus gain the compen-
sation and the food which will support
them and their families. Speaking of
the policy Of the Indian office, Com
missioner Leupp says: This office be-
lieves In applying the same rule that
is applied to poor and ignorant men of
any race. We believe In finding work
for them and then in permitting them
TO go hungry IL they will not accept
the opportunity to make living" He
adds that 1t is the practice of his de.
partment of the government to treat
the Indians kindly but to insist that
they shall cease to be paupers when
there is work at which they can earn
good wages practically at their doors"
Can anyone point out anything unfair
or unreasonable in that principle?

To the Pole by Bear Power.


Capt. ROAD Amundsen, the explor-
er OF the northwest passage, is the
latest aspirant for the honor of discov-
ering the north pole. Capt Amund-
zen has a new scheme. He is not
going TO take any chances with air
ships, motor sleds or any other artifi.
cial achievements OF modern ingenui-
~. His motto is: Back TO nature"
He proposes to use things that are at
home in arctic conditions. His motive
power will be polar bears. The nor.
NAL polar bear as he is found at large
would have some disadvantages in the
role of domestic animal. His temper
is not amiable, and 1t would be hard
to keep him in a proper state OF dis
cipline, even with club. The only
effective argument with him is gun,
preferably at long range. But Capt.
Amundsen purposes to employ bears
that have never heard Of the call of
the wild. He is having them trained
as cubs so that by the time they grow
up they ought to be as docile as
horses. When he takes them north

ure jaunt for them. The colder and
meaner the weather the better they

Peary, they will enjoy swimming

they can live on the country Accord
ing to Capt. Amundsen a bear is ten
times as strong as horse and can
haul as much as hundred dogs. With
six bears, therefore, he will have co..
horse power, or 600-dog power. More

State Buildina Associations.

Secretary Royse in his annual re-
port on the condition of building and
loan associations compliments the or
CARNATIONS on their prosperity. The
report shows the condition of sixty
six building and loan associations for
the year ending June 80, 1907. Five
new associations were organized dur
ing the year. There were 315,372
shares in force June 80 and the num-
Der of borrowing stockholders had IN
creased 1873 and the non-borrowing
6,492. The increase In assets during
the year was 2,461, 102.
There are some practices obtain
ing among the associations which I
believe are subject to just criticism"
says the secretary. For instance, It
is the practice of some associations
having agents soliciting loans to cor,
lect a membership fee In advance. This
practice works no hardship and gives
no ground for criticism where the
loan is accepted However, where the
loan is rejected for any reason 1t is a
hardship on the proposed borrower
and could hardly be classed a square
DEAL This department receives nu.
merous complaints against this prac-
tice and believes associations should
prohibit it. II for no other reason than
1t leaves a suspicion often in the
minds of the applicants that the mem
bership fee is the ruling incentive with
the agent. If the loan is rejected the
membership fee should be returnd to

The State Capital
Matters. Of General Interest
===-z.========= from ========
Nebraska's Seat OF Government
Auditor Searle's Report.

The semi-annual report OF State Au-
ditor Searle for the period from June
/ to November 80, 1907, shows the out
standing warrants at this time amount
to $1,475, 070.S1; warrants issued dur
ing that period, $1,048,4 45.1S; war
rants paid during that period, 81 ,269,.
360.3S. This shows that warrants to
the amount of $220,915 have been paid
off in excess of the warrants issued,
but this Is due to the heavy payment
of warrants issued against the TEN.
porary school fund. This issue was
made last May, the amount being $457,
500. The warrants were paid just
after June /, bringing the paymen, in
this six months business and the is
suance in the preceding period AS a
matter Of fact, the outstanding general
fund warrants drawing interest
amount to a greater sum than six
months ago. June / the general fund
warrants drawing interest amounted
to $1,1S3,544, while at this time the
amount is $1,3S5,$64, difference of
1901 500. This, however, was to have
been expected, and Is no indication
that the state debt is increasing The
large appropriations of the last legis-
lature have been paid during the last
six months, while the collections are
always less for this period OF the year.
During the next six months the col
lections will be larger and the amount
of warrants issued less. Following
are the balances in the suspended ac-
count due to the defalcation Of Treas
urer BARLEY and the failure of the fol
lowing banks: Capital National bank

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired Stiffness it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
