Rev. W. L. Austin last evening
addressed the members of the Young
Men's Bible class of tho Methodist
church upon "Wit, Humor and
Pathos" and the thirtyflve members
of the class who attended the meet
lug found tho evening ono of rare
entertainment and seldom equaled In
the city. Rev. Austin was at his
best and served the audience with
a collection of stories ranging all tho
way from grave to gay and alternately
moving them to laughter and tears.
Thoso who have heard the speaker
unite in complimenting him as a
story teller of rare merit. Added to
his pleasing personality, his fund of
anecdotes had tne qaunty of being
new and bright and highly enter
taining. In addition to tho stories
with which his talk was Illustrated,
Rev. Austin dilated upon the distinc
tion between wit and humor, describ
ing tho latter as a clever statement
of the truth and wit as being an
enlargement of the sense of It. It
was a comparatively late hour when
the gathering broke up and the mem
bers departed for their homes after
having voted the evening one of the
best humorous evening they had en
Joyed. In fact, they decided that few
lyceum lecturers were the equal of
Rev. Austin.
Loopholes in Laws.
(Special to the Evening Journal.)
Lincoln, Nth., Jan. 17, 1910 The
"Insurging" of such grand old In
surgents as John C. Fremont McKes
son, Paul Clark, and others of like
prominence in the ranks of the old
time "pass brigade" of the g. o. p.,
is a spectacle for gods and men. Just
now this Insurgent band is framing
it up to defeat Senator Burkett, and
to date they have succeeded In em
phasizing the fact that the senator is
one of the prime fence riders of the
day. A careful analysis of the sena
tor's votes during the past two years
shows that he has been 50 per cent
Aldrlch-Cannon, and 49 ' per cent
with the opposition to that regime.
If that Isn't drawing it pretty fine
there is no such thing. Tho Lincoln
Star, which is "insurging" at a great
rate, charges that Senator Burkett
had his privato secretary and his chief
clerk paint his barn for him last sum
mer, and that In so doing he managed
to save something like $7.50 in wages
that otherwise he might have had to
pay to professional painters. The
trade unionists of the state are get
ting ready to lift tho senatorial scalp
because Burkett, In spite of their un
animous protest, favored Hammond
for collector of internal revenue.
Hammond, by the way, has always
posed as a progressive, but Just now
e Is not learning any great encourage
ment to the uprising against the
gentlemen who assisted In handing
Im the collectorship palm.
a law taking away from the state
board the arbitrary power of asses

rage law, the law limiting the is
suance of stock by railroad com
panies, the anti-discrimination law,
the charter law for both Omahas, the
amendments to the election laws, the
military code, the Oregon plan of
electing senators, the law regulating
campaign contributions, the law pro
hibiting employers from attempting
to control the votes of employes,
hrough intimidation, the law regulat
ing the granting of divorces, the
drainage laws, the corporation tax
law, and many other Important and
needed laws. The liquor legislation
enacted by the Democratic legislature
marked a long step forward. It was
the first forward move in twenty
years. Republican legislature after
Republican legislature met without
amending the liquor laws, and all the
while its managers posed a3 the spe
cial champions of morality and tem
perance, and declared that their party
was the party of "God and morality."
It remains for the first Democratic
legislature in the state's history to
tear the. mask of hypocrisy from the
face of the Republican party and
show it up for what it always has
been the tool of the brewery and

Flection of Officers.
The members of St. James society,
No. 58, recently held their annual
election of officers, the new officers
being duly Installed several days
since. The society has had a pros
perous year and has accomplished
much In the way of promoting the
welfare of the order during that time
Tho prospects for the coming year are
regarded by all as most promising
and they hopo to be able to point to
an even better year In 1910 than In
909. The officers chosen were:
President Matthew Jirousek.
Vice President John J. Svoboda
Jr.
Secretary Frank Konfrlst.
Financial Secretary C. Vltousek
Treasurer J. M. Jirousek.
Trustee, two years James Nova
cek.
Trustee, one year Cyril Janda;
Standard Bearers Charles Janda
Jos. Wooster.
American Banner Bearer Jos. Ne
votny. Watchman John Nasscl.
Parade Manager Charles Kratneh
vlll. Asst. Manager Anton Svoboda.
We haven't been hearing so much
through the g. o. p. press of "in
valid legislation" since the real facts
ave been placed before the people
through the medium of these' let
ters. The Democratic legislature of
1909 enacted nearly two hundred
laws. Three of , the two hundred
laws have been declared invalid by
a Republican supreme court. One of
these was the bank guarantee law,
and a federal Judge Imported from
Wyoming to sit In the case. Falling
to find any defect in the law upon
which to base a decision of uncon
stitutionality, the Judges resorted to
the principle upon which the law was
enacted. The non-partisan Judiciary
law was declared Invalid by a divided
court. Four Judges, two of them
personally interested in the defeat of
the law, declared it Invalid. The two
dissenting holding the law good. The
records show that the court decided
the case on questions not presented
in briefs of counsel. The majority ot
the court had to find ways and means
of declaring the non-partisan Judi
ciary law Invalid which had not been
discovered by the attorneys who pre
sented the case of those who assailed
the law.
The change of Democratic extrava
gance in the management of the state
institutions has been met and dis
sipated by the real facts. The reports
made under oath, show that the In
stitutions are now being conducted
better, and at a lower cost per capita
than at any time during the last ten
years. This Is remarkable In view of
the greatly Increased cost of food
products, clothing and fuel. The
present state administration welcomes
nothing quite so much as It does a
comparison of Its record to date with
any similar period of time under Re
publican administration.

wns brought by Attorney General
Thompson, who declared that the law
was so invidious and detrimental to
the welfare of the state, so Injurious

to the constitution, that he felt called

the law Invalid on a question not
suggested by nor thought of by the
attorney general and Judge Calkins.
This might bo considered by some as
a serious reflection on the ability of
the attorney general and Judge Calk
ins. When these two eminent lawyers
'.failed to discover any reason why the
law should be declared Invalid, an
obliging supreme court came to their
rescue.

The session of the Nebraska State
Historical society and the Nebraska
Territorial Pioneers' association open
ed yesterday at Lincoln with a very
large attendance of members from all
sections of the state and the day was
pleasantly and profitably spent in
hearing a number of excellent pa
pers. Among the papers read yester
day was one on "The First Catholic
Bishop of Nebraska," which was read
by Rev. Father M. S. Shine of St.
John's Catholic church of this city.
Father Shine was at bis best and gave
the members of the societies present
the result of an extended research
nto early Nebraska history which was
Interesting and instructive. Father
Shine Is an able and eloquent writer
and speaker and, from all reports,
his paper was one of the best of the
session. It covered the early strug
gles of the Catholic church In the
west and was brimful of new details
of history. The first Catholic Bishop
In this state was the Rt. Rev. John
Baptist Miege, a Jesuit and a native
of France. He was born on Septem
ber 18, 1815, and received his edu
cation at Mortlers, Milan and Rome.
He was ordained a priest In Rome In
1847 and at his own request was
sent as a missionary among the In
dlans. In 1849, he came to America
and was soon after made first vicar
apostolic of the "vicariate of the
Indian territory east of the Rocky
mountains." In the year 1851, he
built a church of hewn logs for a
cathedral at St. Mary's, Kas., and
worked among the Indians and the
white residents of Kansas and Ne
braska for a numbe rof years. He
first visited Nebraska In 1855, and he
was succeeded in 1859 as bishop by
Bishop O'Gorman, the succession be
Ing caused by a division of the ter
ritory. From this brief outline, U
can be seen that the paper was an
extremely able one.
One of the vice presidents of the
Territorial Pioneers Is Hon. R. B.
Windham of this city who is in at
tendance upon the meeting today.
A freak railroad accident took
place this morning In the local yards
of the Burlington when a flat car
loaded with telegraph poles flew the
track while coming down the hill
from the big bridge. The car was in
train No. 77, a fast freight which
goes through here at a high rate of
speed and, according to the looks of
the track, It dropped off the rails at
the curve near Happy Hollow, the
coupling held, however, and the car
swung along down the track at a
merry clip until It struck the frog of
the elevator lead south of the depot
when the wheels came back on the
rails. Tho force of the impact of the
cur with the irog seems to have
swung the poles over toward the east
side of the car and their weight was
too much for the car stakes which
snapped off. At once the air was filled
with telegraph poles which com
menced to unload Just south of the
undergrade crossing at the foot of
Main street and continued until the
car was,empty at the switch shanty
north of the depot. The poles all
went oft on the east side of the
track and the bulk of them went
down into the subway. A number of
them struck the switch stands in
front of the depot and the Btand from
which the distant signal for the depot
Is operated, was turned over and
the signal put out of commission.
There was a man standing near the
switch in front of the depot platform
and several of the poles landed in
his Immediate vicinity, slighty raising
his hair by their foolish actons. An
other man near the swtch shanty took
refuge therein and one of the poles
broke Into four pieces landed upon
against the base of the shanty mak
ing a nice, round dent therein. The
dog Sport was in the shanty at the
time and was some wrot up by the
demonstration. Yardmaster Johnson
was looking out of the look out at
the depot when he saw the unloading
process In operation and he says he
held his breath for the safety of the
men on the east side of the track.
Foreman Savegren of the concrete
crew, was walking down the tracks
on the west side when he looked up
and saw two poles swing about as If
to knock his head off. He is a man
rather easily disturbed by such fool
ish doings and he pro'mptly cleared
the fence in one leap and gave the
poles all the room they wanted. The
accident was a lucky one In its ef
fects and occasioned no loss of life
and very little to property, travel
not being decayed by It.
Injured While Coasting.
Last Monday night the good peo
ple of Weeping Water demonstrated
that they were not to be outdone by
the coasters in this city and proceed
ed to pull off a little accident of their
own which ended in severe injuries to
several of the participants. A coast
er full of young people going down
a hill on one of the main streets of
the town collided with a horse and
buggy driven by Charles McKay. The
buggy had a wheel demolished but
the coaster was overturned and sev
eral of those on it were cut and
bruised. Harold Barnes who steered
the coaster had a severe cut over one
of his eyes which took nine stitches
to close, his nose was broken and
he was generally badly bruised up.
Oce Robbins also had his nose broken
and his face cut. Miss Lizzie Reed
had her face cut and bruised and
others on the coaster were bruised
and pounded up badly.
He Visits the Old Home.
R. L. Propst and mother departed
today for Devenport, Iowa, where
they will make an extended visit with
relatives. Mr. Propst who has lived
In this vicinity ever since the spring
of the year 18 8, was born in Daven
port and the first fourteen years of
his life was spent there. He has been
a resident of this vicinity for so
long a time that few realize that he
is not a native. During the many
years he has lived here Mr. Propst
has risen in the respect and esteem
of the people until he now ranks as
one of the leading citizens of the
community. He is well fixed in this
world's goods, being a citizen of much,
thrift and energy and having bee
a steady and industrious worker. He
has earned the vacation which he Is
taking and it Is to be hoped that he
finds his visit to his old home one of
great pleasure and profit.
EXPERIMENT
Robt. A. Bates and wife returned
this morning from Kansas City, Mo.,
where they had consulted the special
ists who recently treated them. They
return quite well now and are very
thankful that the trying ordeal is
over. Both aro In excellent health
now.
McKeen Motor Car.
A McKeen motor car passed
through the city this morning Just
before noon, going from the factory
at Omaha, to St. Joseph, Mo., where
It goes into service. The use of the
McKeen motor is spreading rapidly on
the branch lines of railway and on
Interurbans and the factory is kept
on the Juhp. The cars presented a
handsome appearance and are cap
able of doing lots of passenger carry
Ing at a low cost. It Is believed that
they will eventually displace the elec
trie motor on many of the smaller
Interurbans owing to the smaller cost
of construction of the roadway, the
less cost of wiring and general equip
ment and the like. The car was quite
a curiosity to those who were at the
station when It passed through.

can vouch for Doan's Kidney Pills,
knowing them to be a good kidney
