BILL FOR ABOLISHMENT
OF CftPITOL PUNISHMENT
A special from Lincoln under date
ef January 17, says: A comprehen
sive scheme for abolishing capital
punishment and at the same time re
move the chief objection to doing
away with executions by the state Is
contained In a series of bills intro
duced today by Kotouc of Richard
son. They will be numbered house
rolls 117 to 120, Inclusive.
In addition to providing only a
penalty of life imprisonment for first
degree murder, the bills take away
some of the governor's pardoning
power and make It absolutely impos
sible for a life prisoner to escape the
penitentiary until he has served at
least thirty years.
Even after that It is made difficult
enough for him to get out as he is
compelled by the provisions of the
proposed law to have his case sub
mitted to a board composed of the
governor, secretary of state and chief
Justice of the supreme court, who
must be unanimous for a pardon be
fore It can be granted.
A proposed constitutional amend
ment excludes life prisoners sen
tenced for murder from the govern
er's pardoning power.
Gustafson, of Saunders, discovered
that he had unintentionally been
flim-flammed today, and asked to
have withdrawn his bill proposing to
repeal the direct primary law. He
had asked the legislative reference
library attendants to drart a bill re
pealing the open feature of the pri
mary. They misunderstood him and
drew a bill repealing the law In its
entirety.
If a bill by Hatfield, of Lancaster,
gets through, it will be unlawful for
county attorneys or their deputies to
perform legal services for any person,
the law requiring them to engage
only in the county work which they
were elected to perform. The bill
was Inspired by complaint against the
Lancaster county attorney and his
deputies, who have been charged
with neglecting their public duties to
attend to private business.
1'oley'n Kidney RemeOy n
A p.
pi c iution.
L. McConneli, Catherine St., Elnil
ra, N. Y., writes: "I wish to express
my appreciation of the great good I
derived from Foley's Kidney Remedy,
which I used for a bad case of kid
ney trouble. Five bottles did the
work most effectively and proved to
me beyond doubt It Is the most reli
able kidney medicine I have ever
taken." Fold by F. G. Fricke & Co.
15uu ISruiniiu'I of tlie House.
The Lincoln News says: "Since it
was noised about that McKelvle was
being acclaimed the Beau Brummel
of the lower house, several members
have declared that at least some of
their friends ought to share some of
the story that the Lancaster man has
at present. Consequently Otto Kou-
. touc, of Richardson, C. E. Metzger, of
Cass, Luther Bonham, of Jefferson,
and J. F. Morlarlty, of Douglas, are
being pushed by their admirers for
the distinction of "best looking man"
In the house."

LUKE'S CHURCH MEETS
That excellent and earnest working
little band of young folks known as
the Junior Auxiliary of the St. Luke's
church, met at the pleasant and com
modious home of Mrs. Eva Reese last
evening at which time a carefully
prepared and most excellent musical
program was rendered. Light re
freshments were served, as is the
usual custom, in addition to the
musical program; a small fee of. ten
cents is charged for all those who
wish to attend, and the amount taken
in goes to the treasury of this little
class of busy workers, all of whom
are earnestly working to the one end.
That Is to see the credit side of their
bank account as large as possible,
and to assist In defraying expenses of
the church, and the salary of the
grand old man whom they have
learned to love for his kindnesses.
The Junior Auxiliary are certainly
busy little workers on such occasions
as this, every one has their duty to
perform, and they are at their post
read for the task. ) They are the
coming pillars of the cause they now
represent, and It should be the duty
of .all to lend all tho encour
agement and assistance possible.
There were ten numbers on the
program last evening, the first
being Waldemer Soennlchsen
with a piano , selection; fol
lo'wed by Barbara Clement, vocal
solo; Gladys McMaken, instrumental
selection; Miss Edna Peterson, vocal
selection; Alex White, piano, and
Master Carl Schneider, vocal; Emma
Cummins, Instrumental; Gretchcn
Donnally, solo; Ruth Chapman and
Dorothy Britt, piano duet, and the
dosing number a vocal roIo by Glenn
Scott.. The evening was a most pleas
ant one, and a vpto of thanks was ex
tended Mrs. Rees. for the kindness ex
tended In affording the class and visi
tors the entertainment.
Saved at Death's Door.
The door of death seemed ready to
open for Murray W. Ayers, of Tran

wonderfully saved. "I was In a dread
ful condition," ho writes, "my skin
was almost yellow; eyes sunken;
tongue coated; emnclated from losing
40 pounds, growing weaker dally.
Virulent liver trouble pulling me
down to death in spite of doctors.
Then that matchless medicine Elec
tric Bitters cured me. I regained
the 40 pounds lost and now am well
and strong." For all stomach, liver
and kidney troubles they're supreme.

MISSOURI PACIFIC WANTS
TO IMCREUSE RATES
A special from Chicago, under date
of January 17, says: "It Is the policy
of the Missouri Pacific railway ?o ad
vance all rates that can be advanced"
In addition to the proposed Increases
In commodity rates now under Inves
tigation by the Interstate commerce
commission Is announced frankly in
the brief filed with the commission in
the western rate case by James C.
Jeffrey, interstate commerce attorney
for the road.
"It is our contention," he says,
'that In order to exist It is absolutely
necessary to have not only the Blight
revenue ($94,000) Involved in the
present proceeding but there must be
large Increases in the rates on all
classes and commodities hauled by
that company. This necessity arises
from the single fact that the In
creased cost of operation (due prin
cipally to enormous increases In
wages to various classes or organized
labor) Is outstripping by leaps and
bounds the Increase In gross earn
ings.
"We believe there can be no dis
sent to the legal proposition that a
common carrier is entitled to a fair
return on the value of the property
devoted to transportation purposes,
and therefore we direct ourselves In
this brief to the broad question of
fact as to whether, upon the evidence
Introduced by this company, it Is not
conclusively shown that there is need
for an advance in rates sufficient to
allow the reasonable return upon tho
value of the property to which it Is
legally entitled, but not now recelvv
