Diamond Day.

Tomorrow is Diamond Day and as
usual we have a select list of bargains
and reductions to offer. This is one of
the few times when it is impossible for
us to advertise just what specials we
have for Diamond Day. So many of our
goods are being received by every ex-
press and then again so many will come
in tomorrow morning that we cannot
be positive about the best offerings in
time to advertise them. Our buyers have
been putting forth extra efforts for these
Diamond Days with the result that you
will be amply repaid for a trip to this
store tomorrow.
You will enjoy following the Diamond
Signs throughout this store all the more

NANTES, France, Nov. 12.-The Catho-
lie clergy here today refused absolution
to Catholic children in the public schools
who are using the text books interdicted
by the church.
The action Of the Catholic clergy at
Nantes is in fulfillment of a warning
sounded when the church put its ban upor
certain books used in the public school
and which were held to be offensive t.
Catholicism. The government has refused
to modify the character of the text books,
which include works Of history, and an
active fight has been instituted by the
clergy at many points throughout France.

State and Insurance Rates.
State Auditor Barton is opposed to the
Idea Of the state making rates for insur.
ance companies and he insists that Ne
braska has not endorsed this idea in the
passing of a law providing for a bonding
board to pass on the rates charged by
bonding companies.
That law" said the auditor, simply
gives the power to the state board to
make a maximum rate. That was a neccs-
sity because the bonding companies had
Joined together and at any time they could
change their rates and force them as high
as they desired. So the legislature gave
the power to the state board to place a
limit on the rates they may charge,
II am opposed to the state making
rates, for one reason because the rate
n akiDg might become a political issue and
partisans might make rates which would
ruin some companies and work to the ad-
vantage of others.
1.-THE state should keep a close tab IN
the affairs Of Insurance companies and II
at any time the reserve should become
Impaired the insurance department should
force the companies to make good"

WEDDING CAKE SIX FEET HIGH
"A Whole Lot of Sweetness at This
Wedding Besides the Bride.

What is claimed to be one of the
largest wedding cakes ever made for
actual use received it's finishing dec
orations in the kitchen of the Grand
Pacific Hotel, in Chicago, last week.
1t was then sent by express to
Hamilton, Ontario The cake was
nearly six feet in height, five feet
IN diameter at the base and weighs
practically a quarter of ton.
1t was served at the wedding of
Charles P. McColm of Muscatine, Ia,
to Miss Alleen Davis, daughter of
William R. Davis, collector of GUS
toms at the port of Hamilton, Jan
uary 9th. There were 500 guests
at the wedding reception, and Mr..
McColm gave Frank Gotta, steward
at the Grand Pacific, instructions to
make the largest wedding cake this
country had ever known. There have
probably been larger cakes made for
show purposes, but Mr.. Gotta does
not believe that anything really in
tended for a wedding can equaA it.
More than week was required in
mixing, baking and decorating.
The materials he used would stock
small store. Some of the chief in
gradients are:
Ninety pounds of sugar, nine hun
dred eggs, sixty pounds of butter,
ninety pounds of currants, sixty
pounds of raisins, sixty-two pounds
OF citron, thirty-seven pounds chopp-
ed almonds, one hundred and TWEEN
ty pounds of flour, one and one-half
pounds of spice, fifteen quarts of
cognac, fifteen quarts of sherry wine,
three quarters of a pound of baking
soda.

Feasts,' which are extremely popu-
lar. The preparation for these
feasts," says a writer, ''often takes
days beforehand, for they are moth

nounced for certain day, but at
the appointed time all the necessary
pigs may not have been brought in,
or some expected visitors may not
nave arrived, or pig already pres
ent may have struggled free from
its bonds and have to be hunted for
a day or two. But no one ever
seems to mind the delay. With
Well-bred calmness they wait until
everything is quite ready and then
the feast begins
On one such occasion there were
nearly 1000 people present, and so
pigs, 1000 cocOanuts and huge piles
OF taro were distributed. The feast
glVers got nothing; that is a uni
Yersal custom. The recipients like
wise neither cooked nor ate morsel
until they got home, for it is con-
s1dered good form in Papau to eat
nothing but to carry away every
thing, thus practically reversing our
notions of hospitality. There was a
great heap of dismembered pigs lying
on the ground, and the presiding
genius of the feast, with his assist
ants, threw these violently toward
the guests. Each important man had
retainers, who ran forward and bore
the joint off, while the less fortunate
ones kept up running fire of com
ment-identifying a pigs head as
having been the contribution of some
particular man, or reproving the hill
folk for their awkward gait, telling
them not to fear precipices on the
coast, and so on.

TRYING TO INITIATE CHRIST
YOUNG WOMAN'S INTERESTING
EXPLANATION OF HER COL
LAPSE IN THE EFFORT.

The News has little time for ia
natics who are so pat and pert in
illusions to what the Savior would
do under existing conditions on this
earth.
AS a matter of fact none of these
people have any idea of what Christ
would do. He might upset condi-
tons, start a moral revolution and
strike in the highest, and sometimes
considered the hottest places, just as
He did when He came here before.
In this connection a late and in
teresting story comes from Cleveland,
O., to the effect that following
series of revival meetings there a
number of young people in the or
binary walks of life entered into an
agreement to live for two weeks as
4 nearly as possible like Jesus Christ
would have lived under their cir
cumstances. From all accounts the
experiences of these well-meaning
young persons were discouraging if
not positively distressing. One of
them, girl employed as a type
writer in a wholesale house, tried to
Keep the pledge she had made for
Two weeks, but realized on the first
day that either the pledge or her job
would have to be cast to the chilly
winds
rms young lady has favored the
pubic with a statement explaining
me collapse of her effort to live like
CAIISt even for so short a period as
one day. In a pathetic but perfectly
truthful way she declares that the
BUSINESS morality of the present day
ana the morality of Christ are in vio-
lent and hopeless conflict. She says,
III her statement, that on the first
Jay OF her trial she was required to
write letters containing dishonorabIe
eIaSlons, half-truth and lies of the
pam and unvarnished breed. There
lore she says:
NO doubt it is necessary to tell
Such lies in business, but Jesus
would not have done so; and when
type the letter I must tell the lie,
goo. Jesus would not have allowed
himself II to be implicated in the lie
ne would refuse to write it. If

lar Bridge and Homes.


BY decision of the circuit court
at Forth Smith, Ark, strip of land
twelve miles long and two miles
wide, adjoining Fort Smith, becomes
no mans land" The strip was
originally part of the Indian Ter
rltory, and was allotted to the Choc-
taW Nation, but was coded by con-
gress to Arkansas in order to allow
local authorities to have police juris-
dlctlon over it, as it had become a
refuge for outlaws. The failure of
Arkansas to accept the land by an
amendment to its constitution is
gwen by the court as a reason for it's
ruling which holds that the boun-
dary line of 1880 is still in effect
The Constitutional Convention of
oklahoma declared the strip a part
of that state.
For twenty years the local courts
mere have tried crimes committed in
the strip, and there are now more
than fifty men serving sentence on
convictions in Arkansas courts for
crimes committed in the disputed
territory. In border days eighty
eight men were hanged in the strip
atter being sentenced by Federal
Judge Parker at FIT. Smith.
The property fronts on the Arkan-
sas and Poteau rivers, and is valued
at 100000. Many factories, a
mllllon-dollar bridge, a water plant
and number of homes will be af-
fected by the courts decision, which
holds that all taxes paid for the past
twenty years were illegally levied.
1t is announced that Oklahoma
title to the strip will be disputed in
the United States supreme court.
