The worst foe Of mankind in this age
is the crouch. This imp of the evil
get into a bad temper. The color Of
the crouch is a dark blue. and one of
its most familiar forms is as a clond
over our mental sunshine.
The crouch is a bigger liar than any
whom President Roosevelt has in his
justly celebrated gallery. 1t whispers
into its victims ear that he is no
good, that he is 4 failure in life. that
he might as we'll be dead and all that
sort of childish, negative nonsense.
The crouch also spoils mans dis
position so that he wants to abuse his
family and fight with his best friend.
It has the same effect on the milk Of
human kindness that a thunderstorm

brnded COW called Spec.

this monster of the abyss is after me

sheer muscular cXertion or go out on

the river blow the phantom away. The
breath from the face of the waters al
ways gives a benediction. Whether
at morn or eve, noon or night, 1t has a
touch of sanity, Of calm. Of cooling,
that is good for obsessions and blues.

This indigo monster is an elemental
that fastens on our souls and sucks

last November for $40 per hundred and
they weighed on the average of lilo each
when put in the feed lot, thus showing an

NEW WAY TO TRAP OUTLAWS
bankers and Hotel Men to Cooperate
Toward Apprehension of
CuIprits.

Advancement has been made with the Ne
braska Bankers association whereby the
hotel clerks organization will receive
promptly the names and descriptions of
forgers, swindlers and other recreant in
dividuals operating in this vicinity. This
announcement was made Monday night at
the meeting of the Nebraska Hotel Clerks
association, which was held at the Hen
shaw hotel. The meeting was the largest
attended of any held for some months. No
indebtedness with a cash balance was the
report made by Treasurer Joe Keenan,.
Chief Clerk Harvey Foote of the Hotel
Loyal was admitted into membership and
invited the members to meet at the new
hotel at some future date. Secretary f. b.
Pates was selected to represent the organ
ization at the annual convention at Dead
wood in August.
Bankers of Nebraska will not organize a
mutual burglary insurance company, as the
Nebraska Bankers association failed to re-
ceive enough applications and has returned
the subscriptions received.
A letter giving notice of the failure or the
plan to enlist enough enthusiasm to make
it a go has been sent to the bankers OF
the state by w. II. Hughes, secretary. In
part It reads as follows:
Too many Of our bankers held back to see
If enough banks woul subscribe. A thing
from everyone. Our subscription blank
plainly stated that IL was not binding until
at least 400 did subscribe the necessary
amount, but they seemed to miss this point
While so many were waiting for each other
to act the subscription list Jagged, so the
whole thing has to be dropped. We have
lost a good chance to get our burglary in
surance and bonds for almost nothing
Too bad.

which the resignation was to be pulled
off, dependent upon the appointment to
the place thus vacated of one of the pres

further conditioned on the appointment
of Mercer to the proposed vacancy on
the court of claims. What Mercer wanted
was the endorsement and active support
of the Nebraska delegation for the court

Big Increase IN Real Estate.

The big increase in the assessment is on
real estate, the assessment being $40, 1859, AIS
larger than it was in 1907.
The personal assessment as 1t left the
Board of Equalization is considerably
lower than it was when it left the asses
sor's hands, The board made reductions
amounting to SS59,9s5, and increases to 1924,
S15, a net reduction Of $6S5, 1896.
one reason for the reduction in the per
sonal assessment is the almost complete
disappearance from the assessment roll Of
the estate of the late Count Creighton
Last year the estate was assessed at $780,
goo. This year not more than $40, 900 of this
property is assessed. The reason for this
is that the bulk of the property went to
educational and charitable institutions and
Is not taxable. Very little of that part
which went to individuals was assessed.
the beneficiaries confronting the board in
most cases and claiming they had none or
little of the property left, having paid il
all out in decreasing their Indebtedness.
This item alone will practically make up
the difference between the assessment
after the state board had increased it and
the figures this year.
