Wray of York to be present at uie oranu island convention of the new party in Nebraska, on December 8 lie pieacis as an excuse that he will be busy with important matters in congress at the opening of the regular session ana cannot get away. Chairman J. A. H. Hopkin3 of the national "committee of forty-eight" may be at Grand Island in the inter cut of the "liberal" party which he jind his associates are seeking to de velop along national lines. They de Fire to have a Nebraska organiza tion affiliate with that party. The farmer-labor party is also making a bid. Sentiment among most of the new partyites in this state, however, seems to be generally hostile to tying up with amy outside elements. They want to make a fight on state issues exclusive ly. While Judge Wray is" supposed to feel friendly toward establishing connections with the "liberal" party it look;; as though he will not have a strong following on that particular A. M. Templin of Omaha, who used to be a radical nonpartisan leaguer in Merrick enuntv. Ima aunt urvl 4 V nt 3e will raipe a row at Grand Island if inc convention gives any consideration to the "libera!" party.

The fact that at the convention at Chicago he had ten men picked on the platform wmreittee, before the convention was called, shows conclusively what kind of a hairpin he is. "I hope our committee will turn him down if he wants to speak at Grand Island, or have anything to do with It. Our rank ami file can work out what we want without his aid. "It was him and his associates that turned down labor at the Chicago con- enough, and we cannot afford to dis franchise labor by taking up with that skate.

Youth Seeks Revenge i SCOTTSBLUFF The" desire of boyish revenge on the part of Charley Hiegel. son of John Hiegel residing several miles east of this city resulted in almost a tragedy on last Rriday af ternoon in which affair Harold Davis, son or Koocn uavts, a neighbor of the iiiegeis was the victim.

Testing for Capitol Walla, LINCOLN Forty-eight tons of iron rails had been placd upon the testing apparatus on the state house grounds Monday afternoon, with no settling of the four feet square - column except what is descr.bed as the taking up of the slack. The settling of the appara tus into its position in the ground is slight but it not counted as a pene tration of the earth. By nightfall it was expected sixty tonsof iron would be in use. A total f 500 tons to be used before the test is finished.

Tests now being con ducted will be of use for all future building in Lincoln. It is said by engineers that nearly every large building in Lincoln has settled some. The tests will also be of use to con tractors who undertake excavations on the capitol grounds and are ex pected to make a saving in cost of construction.

FREMONT Three, Fremont hank fell victims to the "put and take" PROTECTION When Life's shadows grow dim and the twi light of years settles upon us, the most conu foiling companion, the most dependable one to look to for cheer in our declining years is a suosianuai oanK balance. We sometimes lose track of the fact that we can not always work as we do now. Many an old couple could be happier and far more comfortable today if just a little more foresight had been used in their younger days, and the savings habit had been start ed when money meant less to them than it does , today. .... ' " Start now to lay aside a little each week to provide a competence for old age. A few cents a day will do it consider them spent foolishly if necessary, and you will be inde pendent and comfortable when the silver hairs come. Let us show you how easy it can be done.
