LINCOLN. March s1.-(SpeciaL)-T fact
that it was published that a prominent
educator Of the state had been black
balled" by the Nebraska Schoolmaster's S
club has led to some discussion Of this club
and its ways. In addition to the teacher,
whose name was given to the public, it is
now said that one and possibly two very
prominent educators, teachers in the state
university, were also "blackballed."
The rules OF the club, however, indicate
that very little discredit attaches to g
person who is blackballed by the club, for
under these rules one member may secure
the rejection OF person who has not even
thought Of becoming a member.
The rules as printed provide that the
membership is limited TO 100 and that nc
person may make application for member
ship. So when anyone is elected to the
club he must be proposed by one member
and endorsed by two others. II six blacl
balls are voted against him his election

on Living Man
Mother Identifies Body of Another
as that of Her Son, Now a
Captured Deserter.

PLATTsMoUTH. Nsbeh March sl-(spe-
ciai)-About the moSt peculiar series Of
condolences ever known IN this county has
just come to light in connection with the
arrest in this city OF Arthur Doty a de-
serter from the regular army at Fort Rus
sell, wyo.
Doty is a son OF Mrs. L. Doty who re-
sides in Albany. N. Y. The family has been
wealthy and IS prominent. Leaving his
home several years ago Doty drifted west,
making his way mostly on freight trains,
and after visiting many Of the large cities
in the middle states, he finally Joined the
regular army and was stationed at Fort
Russell, Wyo.
Little was heard of him at home during
his life at the military post and about last
September his letters suddenly ceased alto
gether, which was the time he departed
from the post.
A few months later a man answering
Doty's. description was killed in the railroad
yards in Ravenna, n. Y, while he was
stealing a ride on E freight train. His
mother hearing OF the death, immedia tely
had the body exumed. She and another
son identified ii as Arthur Doty and the
body was reburied in the family cemetery.
| Next an insurance company paid Mrs.
| Doty 5000 on a policy made payable 10
| her. While mourning the loss of the prodi-
| gal the mother received a letter from him
informing her that he was working in the
! Burlington shops in this city This sudden
/ turn OF affairs put the family in a decidedly
perpexing condition, for If he should ever
| return home they thought they would be
liable to prosecution for accepting the in
surance while he was living and the family
would be subjected to shame and disgrace
Mrs. Doty Immediately wrote TO her sor
and implored him to keep under cover and
under no conditions TO return home. Wher
Doty received the letter he seemed to con
slider the miX-up a good joke and showed
the letter to his fellow workmen in th'
shops and also 10 his room mates in tn
Hotel Perkins. This was the clue tina
ultimately led 10 his arrest and his deliver!
to Fort Crook
When the young man was examined a

head and another large one on his chest
which exactly correspcnded with those O

LINCOLN March q. - Especially - The
statement made by F. W. Brown, former
mayor Of Lincoln, regarding the democratic
party and county option. is an indication
OF the division OF the party on that issue
and or the trouble Mr.. Bryan is going to
have to pack the load On the water wagon.
Mayor Brown said:
Tn nv opinion a ma ajority OF the demo-
cratic party is opposed to county option
and its insertion in the democratic plat
form would jeopardiEe the success Of the
democratic nominee.
This would indicate that Mayor Brown
like Mayor Dahlman. had come to the
parting Of the ways with Mr.. Bryan. For
many years Mr.. Brown has been a close
personal and political friend Of the presi-
Dental candidate and IN 1908 he represented
Mr Bryan on the resolutions committee Of
the democratic national convention. He
followed this up with a tour OF the coun-
try on the Bryan train and was In fact the
manager Of that trip. having authority to
pass upon the qualification Of the parties
who desired TO ride on the special car.
As Mayor Brown Is a real democrat. his
decision that county option in the platform
would ieopardlze the successof the ticket,
means that he will work to keep COUNT
option out Of the platform. So it is 6
safe guess to say he will be lined up fight
ing the Bryan decree.
Notices OF Time Changes.
Several railroad companies have filed

ard alleging that railroads changed their
time schedules without notifying the
public The commission had a conference
with the railroad officials annd the off
cials agreed TO see to it that proper
notice is given before a change goes
into effect.

OptometrlStS
Find They Have
RigRow Ahead
Issue Certificates Bearing Big, Red
Letters Distssteful to Those
Who Get Them.
cFrom a 500 correspondent.l

CFrom a staff COrrespondent)
LINCOLN, March S--CSpecial )-From
forty persons to whom have been issued
certificates to practice optometry by the
State Board Of Optometry. without ex-
animation, Governor ShallenberEer has re-
ceived objections to the wording on the
certificates.
The law provides that persons who have
practiced optometry for two years prior
to the enactment Of the optometry law
are entitled to a certificate Of exemption
from the examination to be given by the
state board, upon a proper showing on
the part of the applicants. Instead OF is
suing such exemption certificate the board
has issued a certificate 20 practice Op-
tometry upon which is printed in red
letters these words
The board does not guarantee the com
potency Of the holder Of this certificate.
1t Is issued without examination in ac-
cordance with the law"
Printed on another part Of the certifi-
cate in red letters are these words:
The law requires that this certificate
be displayed in a conspicuous place in your
office"
The first paragraph is not only printed
on the certificate, but is also stamped
thereon with a rubber stamp
The certificates are signed by c. c. Nc
Leese, president: j. S. Huteson secretary,
and Fritz Hoefer
1t is TO the financial advantage OF the
board that every person desiring to prac-
tice optometry take an examination. as
the fees provided by law are as follows:
For examination. SIS; for q certificate OF
registration, $40; for a certificate OF ex-
/ emption. s.; yearly license, 81.
Those making the protest insist that the
wording on the certificates issued TO them
simply discredits them. They hold that
such certificates would force them to take
the examination, which would increase the
/ income of the examiners. as they are paid
out Of the fees collected. The exemption
/ certificates net the board OF examiners
/ giving Of examinations.
| The state society recently condemned the
action of the board in the wording of the
| certificates and a copy Of the resolutions
were sent TO Secretary Huteson. His reply
indicated that IL the aggrieved persons de
sired relief it would be up to them to e.
to law.
So complaints have been piling up OF
/ Governor Shallenberger to the extent tha
the matter was referred to the attorney
