BROADER GENERAL FOR
THE NEBRASKA GUARD
Election Called for April 81, with
Colonel stOrch the Only Cam
didate in Sight.

A Nebraska guard election for the pur-
pose of choosing a brigadier general has
been called for April q. So far as known,
Colonel Storch of the First is the only can
didate. This office has not existed in Ne
braska for six years, General Barry being
the last to hold it. When Adjutant Gem
ersl Culver prepared a revision of the Ne
braska military code, he abolished the Of
flee of brlgadier general of the guard for
the reason that with only two regiments
of infantry, a battery of artillery and a
troop OF cavalry, the formation seemed
top-heavy with the adjutant generals de-
partment staff and the brigadier generals
field staff. At that time the office was
appointive. Now, under Adjutant General
Hartigan, the office OF brigadier general
has been revived and made elective, al
though the strength OF the guard has been
reduced by the abolition of the artillery
and the cavalry.

What a Difference
Few Weeks Makes
Just Before Election Board of Equal
ization Really Transacts Bust
ness When it Meets.

Once every month during the year the
city council has met as a board OF equali-
cation. Protests without number have
been entered, but all have been denied and
every plan of assessment, where street inn
provement work has been ordered, has
been sustained.
But this was in times other than a cam
paign season.
Wednesday the board met again, and
in this last session before the spring cleo
ton the plan of assessment for opening
Twenty-seventh street between Fowler
and Grand avenues was readily rejected.
This plan is the only one which has been
rejected during the year, but the demo-
Gratis on the board wanted to garner in
the votes that can be cast by the two-score
owners who objected, and it was found to
be an easy matter to place the plan of as
sessment on file.

Florence May
Get Mail Men
Petitions for Letter Carrier Service
and to Be Made Branch of
Omaha Postofice.

There IS a strong probability that Flor
ence will soon be enjoying the metropolitan
advantages of free letter carrier delivery.
At the instance of Postmaster Thomas
of Omaha the Florence people have petit
toned the Postoffice department asking
that Florence be made a branch station
Of Omaha, which will give it the same
privileges that the Omaha office now en-
joys regarding free carrier delivery and
office hours.
Florence has a population of 1900 and
enjoys the same metropolitan advantages
of electric cars. street lights and water
system that Omaha does and only lacks
a free letter delivery service to give it
the same advantages that are accorded to
Omaha and its suburb of Dundee.
1t is intimated that the people of Benson
are also making a move toward free car
rier delivery as a branehJof the Omaha
postoffice.

INCOMPLETE EXPENSE BILLS

Commercial Club.

Incomplete expense bills furnished ship
pers by the railroad companies are being
mailed to the Omaha Commercial club to
use as illustrations Of how the transporta-
tion companies send expense bills when the
National Industrial Traffic league makes
it's fight to have the companies furnish
complete ones.
The league believes it is the duty of the
railroads to furnish and the right of re-
ceivers of freight TO insist upon being fur
nished with expense bills giving all neces-
sary information.
The Commercial club of Omaha has been
asked and is to assist the league. The rail-
roads have been requested to instruct their
agents that all expense bills show originat-
ing point, date OF shipment, car numbers
in case of transfer, number and weight of
packages and rate Information in fun; also
show separately any items for switching,
demurrsge or other miscellaneous charge
and where such charge originated.

The Commercial club in exploiting Omaha

about Omaha but do not have the figures
at hand to prove things. The card is going
to be valuable. 1t has taken weeks to get
all the figures condensed into a small

tual population to how much chop suey is
consumed, data covering the live stock in
dustry, grain, wool and merchandising.

Gasoline Burns
Mother and Girl
Mixed with Coal Oil in Stove Tank,
it Explodes and Causes Seri-
Gus Injury.

Mixing coal oil with gasoline by mis-
take caused Mrs. William Kemp, residing
at Twentieth and Ohio streets, and her 13-
year-old daughter TO be seriously burned
Thursday morning.
Some days ago Mr.. Kemp filled the
gasoline tank on the stove and made a
mistake and used kerosene. He poured it
back into the kerosene can, but there was
some gasoline left in the tank, which
caused a mixture and this mixture ex-
ploded Thursday morning when little Miss
Kemp used oil from the kerosene can to
start a fire in the range. There was an
explosion and Mrs. Kemp and the little
girl were badly burned. They were at
tended by Drs. Jessem and Newell and
taken to the hospital Thursday afternoon.

Did Banker With
Black Eye Push
Governors Pen?
New Reason offered Why Shallen-
berger Approved the Day
light Saloon Bill.

An explanation is offered by a prominent
Omaha attorney as to why Governor Shall
lenberger was forced to sign the daylight
saloon bill. which is even more lucid than
the explanation offered by the governor
himself
According to the attorney the zeal dis
played by the temperance people was in
spired and they fought doubly hard, be-
cause they saw an Omaha banker come
out Of the governors office with a black
eye. The argument that this man had a
battered lamp was used to good effect be-
fore the governor and doubtless had much
weight.
A few days ago the vice president Of
one Of Omaha's largest national banks had
the misfortune to slip on the marble floor
of his banking house and striking his face
on a rail, dlscolored his left eye in perfect
resemblance to one which had been black
ened by the other fellows fist.
This banker. with the vice president Of
another national bank, was the first to
see Governor Shallenberger Monday morn
ing. The hour was early and few waiting
TO see the executive. The bankers re-
manned for almost an hour in private con-
ference. Men and women gathered In the
outer office, most of them being temper
ance people.
Finally, after a long wait, the bankers
stepped out of the governors office.
The black eye of the vice president was
noticed at once. Almost in one voice half
a dozen people said as the bankers passed
out. That's the kind of men who are com
Ing down from Omaha today to ask the
governor to veto the bill-see that black
eye; that's what fighting whisky does
when sold after s o'clock in the evening.
There's a couple of the men who are
typical Of the class who conduct the
saloons Of Omaha"
And the bankers passed out into the sun
light not knowing that they were mistaken
for bold, bad men.

The suit now IN has It's little ramifica-

was left to establish a working girls home,

then be settled and with that disposed Of
in a way favorable to the proposed work

bequest was $4,000, which is a little over
/ per cent Of the whole 1900, 600 estate. The
residue after the 81, 100. 900 of specific be-
quests comes to s., $4,000 and 1 per cent of
this would be SSS,5OO. II is claimed by the
other side that the proportion should be
estimated as the specific bequest to the
home Is to the total Of specific requests

which ought to go to the working girls

Some Plain Talk.

Those who seek the fascination
of sin are likely to pay for it with
their lives or that which is worth
more than life. The worst of men
expect women who are false to
others to be true to them, Sud-
denly discovering that the woman
to whom he has given his guilty
confidence and conscience is with
out faith, even to her guilty love,
the man is goaded to fury. He is
murderer And he falls upon his
sword.
Every man, to be good man,
needs to have good woman. And
the test of good woman is the
yearning to be the mother of her
husbands children.
The leal and loyal woman and
wife who is joy all her days-a
shining light for tortuous steps
a support for the psyic life-is
the mother! The women who
won't be mothers cannot be de-
pended upon. They are like the
wind which blows where it listeth.
And, after all, the men who are
thus punished for their own sins
are themselves responsible. Seek
ing sin, they find 1t, and, in find
it, they die.
They who seek the Cleopatras
of she world will die the death of
the Mark Antonys.-New York
