Washington, April 10 H is daily
l.coinin manliest Unit congress Is
facing a Htormy session and there can
.e made no Ion-east of the j iotu I j I
JrvlflHlivp results. The fart that,
tioth of the p eat political parties ar ;
fivirti'd is no longer denied and the
.caders appear to have little hope of
rcnloritiK anything more than surface
harmony.
'Iheie are virtually four parties,

situation lin Interfered with the ho

Jilng of legislative work.
Much Uncertainty Exists.
Probably there never ban been a
roiigress where so much uncertainty
existed and where the uneasiness had
1-itn ho equally distributed between
(he two major political parties. Of
course, thla Is due, In part, to the fact
that In the present countess the Demo
rats nre In power In the housn and
the Hcpuhlic'in are in control of the
enuto.
The real caitHe of the nnxiety Is bo
llcved to be due to the proximity of
the party conventions which will so
left the standard bearers for 1912 and
the. knowledge that a slip by either In
the extraordinary session or tho reg
ular session to follow may very easily
determine the result of the next na
tlonal cr.mpalgn.

for ((peculation. President Tuft has
recommended the enactment of leglB

tho Canadian reciprocity agreement,
and It Is no secret he would he glad
to hnve congies stop at Ihnt and do
ffr tho question of further revision un

the tariff board will be able to report

Splendid Services, Good Attend-
ance, and Eloquent Address
by C. A. Rawls in Evening
It was a large and intelligent audi
ence which gathered at the Presby
terian church yesterday morning and
evening. An exceptionally fine duet
was rendered by Mrs. Eaton and Miss
Ruth Johnson. Mr. I!. A. McKlwain
rendered a pleasing- nolo which was
highly appreciated by the large audi
ence. Rev. L. W. (Jade preached a
strong sermon on "The Hope That
Springs Eternal."
In the evening C. A. Rawls gave a
very eloquent address on tem
perance." In the. course of his re
marks he took up and discussed the
temperance societies in bible times. He
called the attention of his hearers to
the wonderful thirty-fifth chapter of
Jeremiah, which contains the greatest
temperance pledge of all time. The
Rechahites obeyed the command of
Jonadab when they came into lne
chamber or the roru s nouse and wine
was set before them. They fluid:
"We have obeyed the voice of the son
of Rechab in that he charged us to
drink no wine all our days." And be
cause they obeyed the command
ments of Jonadab the Lord Cod of
Israel said: "Jonadab, the son of
Rechab. shall not want a man to
stand before me forever." He vigor
ously emphasized temperance in
thought, in language and in action.

He said that everyone
carries with him a mind picture of
those with whom he comes in contact
a picture that portrays the life and
character of the individual. This be
ing true, how important it is that we
see to it that our life and character
measure up to the highest and the
best. In concluding the speaker
centered the attention of his hearers
upon Jesus Christ as the only true
example for noble living.
The nddress was a strong one and
produced a profound impression upon
his audience.

FLOYD WATHERSTON
HAS A CLOSE CALL
The large derrick used for hoist
ing the Btone to the top of the pil
lars for the next porch at the Elks'
club fell late Friday afternoon,
crashing through a window on the
east side of the building and nar
rowly missing Floyd Wutherston, a
well known Nebraska City man.
Mr. Watherston and S. J. Thomas,
the steward of the club house, were
seated in the reading room convers
ing, while the derrick was being used
just outside the window, Mr.
Watherston was seated near the win
dow and as the derrick started to f;dl
he jumped. As it was he was bruised
about the head and shoulders as the
heavy piece of timber crashed through
the window. Floyd's guardian angel
was surely on the job for it was noth
ing but intuition that made him move
from his seat. The crash was so quick
that he had no warning ar.d some
thing, he knows not what, caused him
to move from his seat.
The derrick, weighing thousands of
pounds, tore away the window sash
and scattered broken bits of glass all
over the room.
A laughable incident connected
with the accident was the quick move
of Jewett Thomas in getting away
from the scene, lie moved so fast,
in f:'.ct, that he fell down, disarrang
ing the furniture and smashing the
ten commandments into small bits.
The accident was a bad one as it
: had Mr. Watherston remained in
his seat there would have been an en
tirely sadder story to relate. Ne-
