Washington. The state department Friday decided that Italy Is entitled to the extradition of Porter Charlton, which was demanded on a charge of murder and who confessed to the murder of his wife near Lake Como, Italy. It Is held by the department that the treaty under which Italy made the demand must be Interpreted lfterally until It shall have been abrogated. The department holds that treaties are not reciprocal, which means that a treaty may be binding, even though one nation has the advantage over the other In some of its details. Such a treaty Is undoubtedly the one now In force between Italy and the United States, but the department frankly says that It will abide by the conven tion as a principle of national faith. The decision of the department does not mean that Charlton will Imme diately have to go to Italy and stand trial. The matter may be carried to the courts where the prisoner's sanity will be determined. In such event Charlton would be held here for al most two years.

The suspended account Is also shown, in dicating where the state lot $559, C67.19 through J. S. Hartley and a half-dozen defunct hanks. Auditor's Report. State Auditor Silas A. Uittton has fllod the semi-annual report of his de partment with the governor, the re port relating entirely to the number of warrants Issued and the number paid, together with the expenditure of the fund that is for the conduct ot the office Itself. This report shows that the warrants paid In the six In the six mouths amounted to $1,652, 83G.85; the warrants Issued amount to $1,499, 513.15; tiie amount of war rants outstanding ou December 1 amount to $234,452.04 BUSINESS INGKEAS NEW READJUSTMENT. 8ome Counties Shown to Be Unduly Favored. Adams, Cass, Otoe and Saline counties have the bet of It, In the ap portionment of state senators of Ne braska, on the figures of population recently made public by the govern ment. Adams bus one senator for 20.900, Cass has otto senator for 21, 330, Otoe has one senator for 19,323, and Saline has one senator for 17,866. Since the apportionment was made In 1887, Adams gained only approxi mately 2,000 in population. Cass has gained leas then 2,000, Otoe has lost nearly 3.000, and Saline has lost 386. Douglas county has three' senators, ocli representing approximately 66, 000 of population. Inncaster has two senators. -nch representing less than 37.000 people. The eighth district, comprising live counties, has a senator for 40,000, and the new census shows a decrease of population In this district of about 10,000. The Fourteenth district has a senator for Its seven counties, with a population of 47.000. Tho Twenty ninth district, comprising eight coun ties, has a senator for over 52,000 of population. As was naturally to have been ex pected the main growth of population In the last ten years has been In the western counties of tho state, and in the cities of Omaha and Lincoln. It would appear from the figures given that a just and equitable re apportionment as called for by both luirties lu their platforms, would mcon at least one additional senator lor Douglas and several additional senators for western Nebraska. This would mean, evidently, that the very small districts mentioned should be switched Into new combinations that would cut down the preponderance of power they now have. Otoe and Cass together, and Adams and Saline, together, would have as near the av erage population of tho present sen atorial lwpulatlon of the present sen atorial districts ii3 could be handily figured. In the matter of representation In the house, too, tho western part of the state Is not adequately treated under the present apportionment. While some of the counties In the eowtern half of Nebraska have suf fered a loss In population. It will be noticed In the tables that, with rare exceptions, the western counties have gained In substantial measure. Kearney Normal. The report of President Thomas ot tho Kearney normal and his recom mendations were filed with the goT eruor. He asks that $55,000 being up proprlated by the last legislature baa not been sufficient to build the build Injr. Of this $50,000 he reports that $39,529.58 has been epent. The ap propriation for salaries two years ago was $82,000. He calculates In his report the expenditures of this na ture for tho rest of the blennlum. Peru Normal Report. The blennnlal report of tho Peru Normal school has been filed with the governor. It shows that the managers will have to ask for deficiency appro priations In some departments, inas much as the funds cannot hold out Omaha Loses Convention. Omaha lost the next meeting of the National Association of Food Com missioners because two states, Utah and Ohio, split their votes, according to State Chemist Redfern, who re turned from the New Orleans meet ing. Duluth, Minn., gets the gather ing next year. Liable te Taxation. Creameries are liable to taxation for the manufacture of adulterated butter regardless of whether the adulteration occurs by accident or de sign, according to the findings of Judge T. C. Munger in United Statos circuit court in directing a verdlcl for the government In the suit of the West Point Creamery company. Fees Collected by Secretary. The semi-annual report of Secre tary of State Junkln shows the fol lowing fees collected by his office during the last six months: Articles or Incorporations, $9,640.05; notary commissions, $389; motor vehicles, $6,780.80; marks aad brands, $01,15; certificates and transcripts, $206.65; trade marks, $16; corporation per mits, $57,260.90; corporation penal ties, $2,690; total, $77,244.55. The Socialist Vote. The total vote for Wright, social ist candidate for governor In the last election, was 6,279. Two years ago llarbaugh received 3,069. The prohi bition vote tlJs year for IJtch, candi date for lieutenant governor, was 4,032, against 4,464 cast for Teeters two years ago. Penitentiary Report. The report of tho penitentiary tot tho month of November shows re ceipts of $1,694.84. Of this Bum $527.31 was turned over to the state treasurer. Warden Smith sold $889.55 worth of wheat that hud beu raised Reduced Rates Granted. The railway commission has grant ed permission to the Nebraska Tele phone company to reduce its rates at Fuirbury tq agree with the rates charged by the local company. It was brought out at the bearing that the Independent company charged $1.25 for telephone where there were mor than ten subscribers and $1.60 where there were loss than ten. But It appears that where five or more persons were subscribers with the ex ception of Increasing tbelr uuuibej to ten, the lester rate was niven. HomTo MADE A THING OF BEAUTY In Recent Years the Unsightly flea Door Has Been Completely Transformed. With the abolishment of the aJlecl and the back yard, aa H was knows a few years ago, there tma com a) great change In the character of the service and ot the nolo. In large cities, where the homes are of necessity set ctooe te th street, the alley was the simplest sw lution to the problem of the stah sum! garbage man. but aa more of as saeW Into the suburbs where the yards large and gardens are the hobbies 4 the owners of the home, we cosaei to live more In the open and have be come averse to the sight of lauadrx flapping In the breeze or mops and! brooms hanging by the side of door and the garbaga and mbbtal cans a constant eyesore. In localities, the Los Anrelee II says, the fences have goon en! and the back yards aro made 1 a veritable park where the lawn continuous, one's Individuality bet: expressed only In the Bowers plan' and these must conform to a extent wua me general juao. i Hy many, however, this Is coesldM ercd undesirable, as there Is. mm course, very little privacy procurable and fences are converted is to thtsxsl of beauty covered with Tines. ' In thw way you have a splendid batckgrotukdr prepared for any flower yea deexrej to plant. In either case the back porch. sv4 long a theme of repruetcb. must a4t metamorphosed Into a pleasant place. In many of the newer houses the back entrance has become th side door and Is screesed from the view of passers on the street by a lattice fence cunningly covered with climbing roses, wistaria or soma other vines. If an artistic gate I built close to the door many step are saved and the whole adds to thai apparent breadth of the bouse. This! leaves the back yard free for sets gola and flower garden ausd gives sub exquisite view from living room s dining room windows. By partitioning off a portion c4j the back porch to bt used exclusive Iy for the garbage can and rubbJanj box, these unsightly objects are xd den from view and one at the bard est problems is conauered. If th' garbage can Is emptied! often carefully cleaned with strong, aot suds or lye, there caa be nothing rsW pulslve about such a compartment. . j Preservation of 8cettc Beauty. A new method for tbe preecrrmtSesj of scenic beauty Is Indicated In a tfa clslon recently handed down hy the United States District court sfttinr at Pueblo, Colo. A water aad power company sought, by aseaas of con demnation proceedings, to divert wa ter which produced rails that were the chief attraction at a tourist re sort. Tbe resort coca pen y resisted., on the ground that diversion at tbet water meant the deatractloa ef that; scenic beauty which was Its chief auW set. The falls are now protected bji a permanent injunctions, Similar steps might bare saved ttii Dells of the Wisconsin. Which, alia many years of weU-desarvee have been sacrificed to a light power company In Milwaukee. proceedings might serve to save th valley of the Hetch-IIetebr. la OHM fornla, now threatened by Sen Frani Cisco. It would be well, at cowrse. If Has) scenery might be frankly saved foe its own sake. Tbe forwietlaji of rm sort companies with wasted lights) points out a way wliteb. while a4 fully worthy, seems te be affective. I Development Through Playgrounds. A thorough study at tbe unasoei opportunities for the moral aad sby4 steal development of tbe children os) ou city playgrounds will cjalckly rss- veal the broad scope possible la this work. A well-supervised playgroup means a decrease In stctxy crimes, venlle delinquency, etc, aad also kea away with boyish flshts. rmarrell&g and disputes regarding tiia gasa played, the whole tendency beis- tost better and higher. Twachetrs la the publlo schools also attest that nlayj ground frequenters make tbe at oat wide-awake pupils; parents testify ti Its making children better behaved and more satisfied la noma life; real ldenta In the neighborhood are slsei loud in their praise at Its healthful Influence.
