governor and Harry was so en-
thusiastic that he wrote the date
OF the termination of the bond, Jan.
uarys7, 1921. This would give the
governor one more day of Office
than he would be entitled to under
the law, as his term of Office will
expire the day before, or January
6. The mistake was discovered in
time to make a correction, and now
Harry carries a perpetual calendar
to provide against such mistakes in
the future,
Speaking of mistakes in the dates
on bonds one was made in the bond
of Former State Treasurer George
AS result, for three days
the $l0,s00000 of investment bonds
belonging to the state, and which
were in his custody, were without
indemnity protection, The bond
was written to date from January
6, 1917 to january 9, 1919. His term
of Office did not expire until Jam
uary 9, 1919, and for three days this
vast treasure was protected only
by the personal integrity Of the
state treasurer, and the fact that
yeggmen have dropped their call
ing for automobile stealing.

The veteran legislator, barking
back to the good old days, asked,
as a feeler:

Il went to a picture show" an
swered the rural member with a
rather blase air.
The carpet, removed from the
floor of the office of the chief clerk
of the house, and secreted in the
basement of the capitol building by
Fire Commissioner Ridgell, was
found by the committee of repre-
sentatives, appointed to "investi-
gate" and it now graces the clerks
office.
But the house had to pay for it,"
said Mr.. Ridgell, grimly, as he
watched the carpet being laid on
the floor from which it had been re-
moved. -..5-..
Mr.. Ridgen occupied a peculiar
position during the incumbencv of
his office. During his term the SUI
preme court decided that the state
fire insurance commissioner had alb
solute control of the fees of his of
flee, and did not have to account
for them to the state treasurer or
any other official than the governor,
who by a device of the law is ex-of-
ficio fire insurance commissioner.
The salary of the office is not paid
by the state but by the FIRE insur-
ance companies, and during his term
Ridgell acted as though he were in
dependent of the state and its laws.
He refused to make a report in ac-
cordance with the state budget law
to the state auditor until compelled
to do so by Governor Neville.
He also had his annual report
printed without the authority of the
state printing commissioner, al

lone democrats in the senate, and a
member of the Douglas county dele

tol building on one of the opening
days of the session, when he was

man, is you all one Of de guv'-

Lincoln, Jan. 1l.-A banquet with
out the guest of honor being present
was given by the newly elected
county officers of Lancaster at the
Lincoln hotel the other night.
Will c. Israel, chief clerk of the
house, was former chairman Of the
Lancaster county central commit
tee. AS a testimonial of his eff
Gent, work in the late campaign it
was decided by the successful Office
seekers to give him blowout. 1t
took place all right, but when the
company had all assembled around
the. banquet board it was found that
a. fatal mistake had been made.
The guest of honor failed to APP
pear. He was blissfully ignorant
Of the honor being done him and
was luxuriating behind the evening
newspapers at his home at Have
lock. The officers-elect and legis-
lators present began to make inquir-
les and it was found that no one
had invited him to the feed. To
keep the food from going to waste,
as a means of conservation, the
guests demolished the viands and
then said good things about the abb
sent guest of honor, behind his
back.
Governor McKeivie is one of the
most democratic and congenial of
men.
Because of his congeniality a
peculiar incident, one that brought
some embarrassment to w. ]. Tay-
Tor, senator and nonpartisan leader,
of Merna, took place.
Mr.. Taylor was in the lobby OF
the Lindell hotel and was talking to
Senator Perry Reed, who represents
the counties of York, Hamilton and
Greeley, when McKelvie approached.
"How do you do, Senator ReedP
exclaimed the governor, extending
his hand in friendly greeting. Sena-
tor Reed took the proffered hand and
shook it; then Governor McKelvie
turned to Taylor and said: "How are
you, senators"
"I'm senator all right" remarked
Taylor, "but who are your"
ooh, nobody but the next govern
or" smilingly remarked McKelvie
as he turned away.
"Hell, / must be in my dotage,
grumbled Taylor to Reed as ne
watched the form of the new exeeu-
tive fade into an adjoining crowd.

who ventures into typical "dive" of

graphic vividness the sensational fea-
lures of night life that made a particu-
lar section of San Francisco notorious
the world over. Nothing like the Bar
barry Coast has ever been known. Here
all sorts of crimes were plotted and
perpetrated. Here were drawn the
dregs of criminal organizations from
foreign fields, as well as this country,
and here crime thrived. Port Said,
reputed to be a dad town." was a
kindergarten compared with San Fran
cisco's Barbary Coast in its palmiest
period. An effort to shanghai the
big, rugged Western highwayman re-
suits in fight that for sheer spectacu-
lar features has no parallel in screen
