The eighth grade examination
viii b held May 2Ist. and END.
Last Sunday two young men
sat on the back stsps Of tie
school building, while sitting
there one Of them had . jack
knife he wished TO try an in ex
perimenting left the work OF his
recklessness and lack OF respect
by cutting . deep notch in one
OF the steps. Now such dsface-
ment of property il son ething
our school boys and girls are not
guilty Of and such damage TO
school property by outsiders Is
not only ~ imposition upon the
good behavior and respect OF the
girls and boys who are in school
Ia that it will be thought by
those who happen TO see the
mark, that IL was done by pupils
OF the school, but also . violation
Of the laws regarding the rights
Of citizens 70 hold property I'M
molested and uninjured by
others. No one has . right TO
destroy public property any
more than they have 70 90 to .
mans private dwelling and de-
face or destroy it. There is .
punishment provided for such
offences in the school law as
well % 10 the CO law.
The prizes to be given in each
room will be awarded upon
scholarship in oil s studies for the
months OF April and May. The
pupil in each room making the
highest average will win first,
the next highest sec ond.
We wish TO have those who
are intere sted in the schools to
avoid as much as possible any
exhibition Of partiality. This Is
especially noticeable on the part
OF anyone who has no children
in any Of the grades but for
obvious reasons become attach
ed 70 the enviro OF one
particular division of the school,
then we feel that the visitor who
does this is not doing the right
thing since we are Interested in
the welfare of the entire school
and believe that every one, IN
less they have children in some
particular Craze, should be like
wise. We appreciate any inter
est taken in the school but we
dislike TO see that interest be-
come Z selfish motive because
every one is selfish enough by
nature without it being taught
them by example while they
are children.

Tomorrow you leave Australia after ex-

fleet have been welcomed everywhere
warmly and sincerely. We have learned to
know you and we are under obligations

government for the honor of this visit. AL
though your stay with us has been short,
we rejoice in this fortunate opportunity to
refresh the cordial relations existing be-
tween two progressive and related peoples.
We cherish the same traditions and ideals
as do you. 1t Is the ardent hope Of our
citizens that the friendship between the
British empire and the American republic
be strengthened, and with us in Australia
many new and personal ties have been es-
tablished which We trust will endure and
flourish.

FOUR OFFICERS ON TRIAL
General COurt-MartIaI VIII Convene
ear End of September at Fort
LeaVenwOrth

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Sept. lit was
learned at Fort Leavenworth today that
four army officers are to be tried by the
general court-martial that Is TO convene
at this post September 20. These officers
are Captain John w. Kilbreth. IT,, and
Captain Winfred b, Carr of the Sixth artiI-
lery; Captain James b. Lindsay and First
William j. O'Loughlin, both the
latter of the Thirteenth infantry. Kilbreth
and Carr are stationed at Fort Riley and
Lindsay and O'Loughlin at Fort Leaven-
worth. Lindsay is a graduate of West
Point and OLoughlin served in a New
York volunteer regiment in the Spanish
American war, later Joining the regular
as a private and being commissioned
from the ranks
1t is said hat the charges against the
three captains are neglect of duty in fail
ing to make out descriptive lists and to
properly comply with orders. The charges
are not considered very serious. Nothing
definite can be learned as to the charge
against Lieutenant O'Loughlin.
The court designed by General Morton
to try these officers consists of three col
onels, three lieutenant colonies, six majors
and one senior captain. The officers de-
cline to say anything for publication about
the charges

small disappointment was occasioned here
Tuesday by the release from custody OF
three men charged with pocket picking at
the state fair here and who are also be
lleved to be implicated in the recent rob-
berries at Winona. The men are known as
Samuel Cohen, Harry Rodgers and j. W.
Simpson and are known in police circles
In Minneapolis. st. Paul, Omaha and other
cities. Sheriff Parr of Winona was here
with requisition papers for the men, but
they were defective, and Judge Boucher
before whom their cases were taken, de-
cided the the men could not be held any
longer and therefore ordered their release.

Glenn II. Curtis of the Aerial Experiment
association notified Lieutenant Selfridge's
family in San Francisco. Mr.. Wright yes
terday replaced the propellers which he has
been using with another pair, the blades of
which are six inches longer. They were
used for the first time in today's disastrous
flight, and many who have witnessed Mr..
Wright's flights at Fort Myer believe the
change of propellers caused the accident
An examination of the broken blade showed
that 1t had been snapped off at a point
one-fourth OF the distance from the hub,
A deep indentation OF the broker piece in
dictated that It had struck some other part
of the aeroplane. Octave Chanute, the
father of aernonautics in America, who
came to Washington several days ago for
the purpose of seeing orville Wright's
flights, said that IL the Wrights had used
but one propeller instead Of two the result
would have been at least as serious.

SUSPECT IN STABBINC FRAY
Tony Lapresto Identified by Wounded
Man as in Plot.
VICTIM AFRAID TO TELL FACTS
He says Three Men Assaulted Him,
One Disguised with Handker-
chief ThrustInE Knife IntO
His Lung.

Detective Shields of the South Omaha
police force effected the arrest of Tony
Lapresto Wednesday and Thursday Cara
mela Blanonieri identified him as one of
the men who thrust a knife into his right
lung Monday before he had arisen from
his bunk in a car at Thirty-second and II
streets, South Omaha. Lapresto is held in
the city Jail at South Omaha awaiting
formal action and the victim is at the
South Omaha hospital.
When first found Blanonieri said a man
stabbed him while he was asleep and got
away before he could identity him. Now
he says he was not asleep and saw three
men approach and one with a handkerchief
over his mouth, stab him. He doesn't say
Iapresto is the man who wore the hand
kerchief, though.
Lapresto was taken to the South Omaha
hospital Thursday morning where Blan-
onieri is still lying in a critical condition
from the knife wound in his lung. Chief
Briggs and an interpreter were present.
The wounded man looked up from his
couch and said: yes, he Is one of the
men. The man who stabbed me had a
handkerchief over his mouth
Immediately Lapresto spoke out in a
threatening tone. Later the interpreter
told the officers that the prisoner had
said:
"If had a knife now I would finish you
right here"
Chief Briggs Is Certain.
Chief Briggs said he was positive from
his knowledge of men and the evidence
that Lapresto was one Of the men who had
committed the crime.
This fellow pretends to be terribly
grieved and weeps loudly without shedding
a tear. l can see through him. He lay
down in the cell and we watched him. He
was as contented as a kitten until he sus-
pected he was watched. Blanonieri said
to me that he was afraid to tell all he
knew about the case. After a long time
he told that he was not taken in his sleep.
Three men together entered the bunk
car at Thirty-second and II streets on that
night and found Blanonieri lying on his
bed. One of these was disguised, and he,
after threatening words, did the stabbing.
"B%lanonieri gave me no motive for the
act except that he did not think it was
robbery. l did not question him very
closely, because he is a pretty sick man
and 1 did not wan to bother him any
more than 1 could help. We are trying to
locate the rest of the men of this gang.
1 think we may succeed"
Blanonieri said:
~ am afraid to tell you whom I sus-
pect, though l know pretty we'll. II l
should fail to convict them and ever got
over the wound so as to be out at my
work, they or their friends would be sure
to kill me-"
The interpreter also assured the police
that it was very dangerous for the old man
to tell anything.

tors office refused to issue a license TO
these companies solely because the state of
California refused TO permit a certain Me-
braska life insurance company to do busl-
ness in that state. The statute under which
Mr.. Searle bases his action is as follows:
1910 A. Section 8 A. (reciprocal licenses,
taxes, statements, etc.. Whenever the
existing or future laws of any other state
of the United States or the rules and regu-
lations of the insurance department of any
such state shall require of life insurance

payment of taxes. fines, penalties, certify
Gates of authority, licenses, fees, or require
any other duties, examinations or acts than
are by the laws of this state required of
such companies organized under the laws or
such other state, then the auditor of public
accounts shall Immediately require from
every insurance company of any and every
character whatever of such other state
transacting or seeking to transact business
in this state n like yme OF all licenses

department of such other state are in eX-
cess of the. licenses, fees, taxes, deposits,
statements. fines, penalties, act,
lions or duties required by the laws of this
state of the companies of such other state
The Nebraska company was excluded
from doing business in California because
its capital stock is 100000, whereas the
laws of California require all life insurance
companies doing business in that state to
have a capital stock of at least 100000. Judge
Munger says this requirement of the Call
fornia law is not one of those provided for
in the statute quoted. The decision says
the statutes of this state have designated
the condition by which an outside company
can do business in this state and when
these conditions are met the auditor may
not add further requirements as a further
condition for the Issuance Of a certificate
of authority. The court says a number of
other questions were presented in argu-
ment, but as they depend upon a basis of
fact other than those shown in the bill, it
is not necessary to consider them.

MEN GET GOOD RATES
Rejoice Over Transit and Pasture
Charges Now Made.
WILL SWELL THE SHIPMENTS
New Conditions VIII Also Enlarge the
Profits and the In
dustry in the Western
States.

Sheepmen of the west are rejoicing over
the lower feeding-in-transit rates which
some of the railroads have been forced to
put into effect.
When the heavy shipments began this fall
the shippers realized the tremendous value
of the reductions made In the pasture
charges for sheep unloaded In, transit.
Until a few months ago all the feeding
stations of the various roads entering
South Omaha and Chicago had been .charg-
ing III cents per day per sheep unloaded,
p~astured and watered. These stations are
located just outside the markets and con-
sist in great tracts of pasture land with
good water, where tired and gaunted sheep
may rest for a. few days to recuperate.
These feeding, stations, are located as
follows: On the Chicago & Great Western
at Underwood, Ill; on the Northwestern,
Ashton, La Fox, Belvidere, Rochelle, H.,
and Long Pine. Neb., near Omaha; on the
Burlington, at Montgomery. ILL.,, and West
Burnham, Neb.; on the Chictgo, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, at Montgomery, ILL.,, and on the
Union Pacific, at Valley, Fremont and
Grand Island, Neb., as wen as the stations
at Sidney. North Platte, Laramie and else
where, where stock may be unloaded in
conformity to the neutrality-suspicious. law.
Lower Rates Granted.
Owing TO the unsatisfactory condition of
the sheep business the roads were petit
TONED to grant a lower rate, which was
done by most of the roads. the Northwest
ern and Great Western reducing their
charges TO l cent; the Milwaukee to half
a cent and the Burlington to three-quarters
Of a cent for the first ten days and half a
cent thereafter.
The feed stations along the Union Pa
cific are not owned or controlled by that
road, but have been built and are con-
trolled by private individuals, who have
been encouraged by the sheepmen to bet
ter their plants until they have the best
in the business At Valley, for instance,
they nave splendid tame grass and brick
WI and electric lights, with the best
Of facilities. The private plants along the
Union Pacific say they cannot afford to
reduce their charges because of the better
feed and facilities offered. For the last
twenty years the plant at Valley has been
continually bettered until it is now an
ideal stopping place and the OYners say
the sheepmen do not expect them to give
the better servic at a reduced rate.
A cent and a half a day on a shipment of
5000 sheep means $75 a day, and II the mar
ket is dull and the shipper wants to hold
his sheep for a few days it counts up fast.
