MORE UNDER GOV. STUBBS.


Topeka, July 23.-The tax contro-
versy between Governor Stubs ana
Tom Wagstaff took new life today,
when State Auditor James M. Nation
made public official figures in re-
gard to moneys paid out by the state
treasurer and the unexpended bal
ances.
A few days ago State Accountant
]. G. Gafford supplied Governor
Stubs some figures Of this kind.
The governor is using them in his
speeches. According to that statement
the unexpended balances and unused
fees for the fiscal year, closed on
July 1, or eighteen months under tn.
Stubs administration, aggregated
$931,S72.17. .A
According to the figures given out
by State Auditor Nation today. and
which he says will go into his bien-
NAL report, the unexpended balances
and unused fees amount to only
$562,460.12, as against $544.O02.O5
for a like period under Governor

NO POLL TAX THIS YEAR.
Ought to Help Registration for the
Primaries in August.

There is NO poll tax collected this
year. This fact ought to help the
registration for the coming primaries
because q great many people each
year refuse to register, because they
believe that by keeping their names
off the registration books they es-
cape the poll tax. This is not true,
for the collector heretofore has got
you, whether your name is ON the
registration books or not. But there
won't be any poll tax collected this
year, and the people who have been
afraid to register because they
thought the poll tax books werS
made up from the registration books,
can register without the fear of the
poll tax collector. The supreme
court of the state dealt body blow
to the poll tax, through an omission
in one law, which leaves the cities
of the first class and second class
out and denies to them the right to
collect the tax. This also cuts Abb
lene out of $500 a year which
would otherwise have been available
for street work.
The registration books will close
next Friday evening, and there Is
only short time in which to regis
ter. There are state, county and con-
gressional tickets to nominate this
year and the primaries will be held
August 2, and If you are not register
ed you can't vote.

HOPE HAS ANOTHER
SCENE-BUT NO NAMES.
Town Seems to Need First Glass
Cleaning Up.

Talk about excitement, there mas
been something doing in town this
week, says the Hope Dispatch, ~
The first real excitement was the
trio of drunks Tuesday afternoon
but that was cleared up before dark
when the Navarro and Carlton fell
lows left town, and the Hope con-
tingent was hauled home (deadD
But along In the middle OF the
night there was q screeching in one
corner of the town until the neigh
bors thought murder was being com
mitted, and the halves and better
halves of two families got up, slipped
on a few clothes and started out to
see who was being killed. The two
outfits coming from different diree-
lions, met at the gate and each be-
ing reinforced by the other, were
greatly strengthened in purpose.
They entered the house and found
the woman frightened nearly to
death, her drunken husband having
secured the revolver against her eff
forts to keep 1t from him, and gone
upstairs.
The party went upstairs, Ia thing
we are willing to admit we would not
have done) and found the man lying
on the bed with the gun in his pants
pocket, and baby in his arms, but he
had the gun pocket under him. One
Of the men got on each side of the
bed and began to parIey with him and
he finally rolled over enough to ex-
hlbit the gun, when the man on that
side of the bed grabbed the gun, and
the other one grabbed the man and
the struggle for the gun was on. All
are big men and It was lively strug-
gle, but the fellow who had grabbed
the gun finally got II away, by badly
tearing the pocket.
But the fight was still on and IT
took both men to handle the fellow
and choke him into submission, and
one Of them at least is carrying scars
Of the battle.
He was finally quieted and the
nelghbors returned to their peaceful
homes and slumbers only to be
awakened again shortly BY the ring
ing Of the fire bell and the burning
Of the tin shop.
What we do not understand ls why
the relatives Of this man do not take
him before the probate court and
have his sanity tested. He surely is
a menace to bis family and any citi-
Kens he is liable to come IN contact
with. The law says . man who
drinks liquor until be is crazy drunk
is crazy in fact. and this man needs
looking after. This ia not only our
opinion. but Il IL the opinion Of
every good citizen we have heard eE-
pIess himself.

DRINK HABIT
Looks almost too good to believe, but
every day proves it true.

PRESIDENT TAFT
in a recent speech at Ada, o., said:
THE progress that is being made
in medicine is marvellous. A consider
alton Of recent advances justifies the
view that we are on the eve OF dtscovJ
cries that will rob diseases OF their
terror ana destructive nature. The
rush into the medical ranks is not ex-
planned by It's emoluments; 1t comes
from the fascination of possible dis
coyery Of that which will aid human
ity and secure to the investigator
worldwide fame"
DR.. Neal discovered the antldote to
alcoholic poison which brings about
the simplicity Of 8 Days Cure for
1.-THE curse Of mankind" The cause
Is treated directly; is neutralize6
and eliminated. Nature takes charge
and proper functions are resumed in

sary, It is fixed. No failures.
A guarantee bond and contract Is
given each patient agreeing that the
modern improved Neal Treatment

BOOSTERS TO FORM LEAGUE
Meeting Called to Consider Plans for
City Betterment.
GENERAL CIVIC ORGANIZATION
Every Part OF city and Number
Includes several Prominent
Property Owners,

Several hundred postal cards have been
issued inviting the recipients to a meet
ing to be held Saturday night in Macca-
bee hall on Broadway for a purpose which
Is said to be the formation OF general
civic organization The movement has
been under discussion since the introduce
ton Of the resolution in the city council
granting the street railway company the
right to lay car line extensions with the
explicit understanding that the fifty-year
franchise Of the East Omaha & Lake
Manaws company's charter shall be Off
cially recognized as the one under which
the company Is operating. The postal
caro- invitations do not express the spe-
cific purposes OF the organization, only
announcing that the meeting is to be held
to discuss the advisability Of forming It.
The movement is being pressed by men
who reside in all parts OF the city and
have not localized interests like the i'm
provement clubs that have been factors Of
more or less potency. The plan as out
lined contemplates the formation OF a cit
liens club, composed Of representative
men, who feel personal interest In all
OF the affairs Of the town and VINO be-
heve that by an organized effort they can
secure municipal progress and develop
ment where It has been tagging The
motto OF the club, 1t is said, will be, I'VE

To promote such improvements as the
repaving Of Broadway, assistance in set
Ting the water works controversy, guard
ing the interests of the city in future
charter grants, and similar municipal at
fairs are among the declared purposes OF
the proposed organization. No names arc
mentioned in the announcements so far

Doliver will be referred directly to the
people, II II can possibly be done, or the
nearest approach to that method-seleo-
ton by the legislature. II is early yet to
think of concentrating the strength OF the
party upon any man, in fact there IL
hardly a reasonable hope that such can
be done on account OF the factional feel
ing that is apparent everywhere How
ever the north part OF the state, which
has never been given the opportunity OF
honoring her favorite sons, have men OF
marked ability for service in the senate OF
the United States, and who are without
spot or blemish.
II would not be a difficult matter for
the entire north and northwest part OF
the state TO unite on A. b. Funk OF Spirit
Lake as a successor to the late Senator
Dolliver. He Is a man broad and liberal
in his views and stands high in the
esteem OF all republicans.
Might BE HauEen.
Congressman Gilbert NJ Haugen, who
was at one time much talked OF as the
standpat opponent OF Senator Cummins,
when the latter defeated John f. Lacey in
the primary. would be available at this
time While the standpats were looking
to Mr.. Haugen as a possibility at that
time they did 1t more because he was a
friend and supporter OF William B. Allison,
than because OF his political belief In
the district he has always been classed
as decidedly leaning toward insurgency.
Congressman Haugen is a resident OF
NOrthwood. Among the state leaders OF
the insurgents, a vigorous man in deed
and action is James A. Smith OF osaEe,
| present state senator. Willard Eaton
state railray commissioner is also a suit
able successor and a resident OF Usage
He IL a lawyer and is specially able In
debate. II the contest goes to the Iegis-
lsture. as now seems quite probable, 1t is
likely that there will be a coming to-
! gether of republicans OF northern and
western Iowa and that the strength OF this
section would center on one OF these men.
