The Lincoln Centenary.

Inc one nundredth anniversary OF the
birth OF Abraham Lincoln will occur on
FEBRUARY Il next, and preparations for the
celebration of this event are being made
all over the country. Newark should not
be behind in this respect. The life of
Abraham Lincoln and his services to the
nation In its hour of greatest stress can
never be recounted too often by patriotic
Americans. The Grand Army posts of the
city nave already formulated some plans
for the celebration, in the expectation that
the Common Council will concur therein.
l heartily the concurrence of
the Council in these plans, and | request,
Of citizens generally. a participation in the
program that shall be adopted for the
celebration of the day.
The Future of the City.

natural advantages are SO unique and are

1t behooVcs us, therefore, to make due
preparation for the impending changes, and
III this respect | address myself not only
u the authorities Of the city, but also to the
citizens in general. IL is not enough tina

New Hair Grown by cutieura.

About two years ago I was troubled
with my head being scaly. Shortly
after that I had an attack Of typhoid
fever and I was out of the hospital
possibly two months when I first no
ticed the loss Of hair. my scalp being
still scaly. started to use dandrufR
cures to no effect whatever. I had
actually lost hope Of saving any hair
at all. l could brush it OF my coat
by the handful. Twas afraid to comb
1t. But after using two cakes of Cuti-
cura Soap and nearly . box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment, the change was sur
prising My scalp is now clear and
healthy as could be and my hair thick

ALLY ACTED UPON.
Two yeH|EaA BILLS VETOED


The last Of tho bills In his hands
were disposed Of BY Governor Shall
lenber4er last week. Beside the tSe
general hills which he vetoed, he
signed eight remaining. vetodnx out
Of the maintenance appropriation bill
items totaling $4,000.
These included two duplicate appro-
pr5atious for experiment stations I'm
the western portion of the state
which are provided for in special ap-
preparation bills already signed. The
principal veto made was that Of two
Items providing . total appropriation
OF $4,000 for the proposed state his
torical society building at Lincoln.
The total appropriations for the
coming biennium viii amount to S.
9O7. 023.14. an increase over those of
the past biennium of about $4oo, 900.
This is less than the estimated ex-
penses Of the state as tabulated BY the
state auditor by $1.300.0OO. and is
within the estimated receipts of the
state for the biennium by at least
$500. 900.
The estimated receipts have been
placed at $6.654.00O in round num-
bers. and the present legislature has
enacted laws which will bring in
revenue to the state in various
amounts to total at least $3.50, 900.
The King bill for levying an occu-
patton against corporations will bring
In upwards Of $3.50, 900. The additional
bank examinations required under the
baking law will double the fees from
that source. The new oil inspection
bill increases those fees. Another
large source Of revenue ia contained
in the bill creating a state fire COM
mission, which provides for a tax of
One-half of I per cent on the gross
premiums of fire insurance companies.
Putting the clerk of the supreme
court and the Tibbets bill providing
for an increased fee from foreign cor
pOrations which maintain resident
agents. bring in still more revenue.
OF the increases shown in the ap-
preparations this year the necessary
additional salaries for judges Of the
supreme court. the additional amount
given the university and the money
in normal schools and for
additional equipment at the present
together with the extra ap-
prOpriations for aid to weak school !
districts and normal training IN high |
schools. make up more than the in |
crease over two years ago.
In vetoing the $4,000 provision for
! state historical society building the i
governor said:
Il think there are two good reasons
or not signing 1t. One Is that the
tate Is much more in need Of q new
'apitol than Of such building as the
me contemplated. The other il that
do not consider It good business to
