CHECK DRY,
BILL UP TO
CONGRESS
Legislators St-e a Chance to Avoid
the Prohihition Issue Neville
Gets in Action.
Lincoln, Feb. 21. Governor Neville
and other democratic leaders of the
Hitchcock brand are now encaged in
playing the popular indoor game of
"passing the buck."
They have picked on congress as
the "goat;" and are preparing to lay
the blame on that ancient organiza
tion, if any Nebraskan should be so
unkind as to criticize any act of the
present state administration, in so far
as Tirohibition legislation is concerned.
So concerned was the governor of
Ntbraska Tuesday about the progress
of dry legislation that he paid a quiet
and highly official visit to the house
of representatives.
lie had sent telegrams Monday to
Representative A. C. Shallenberger at
Washington, asking for information
regarding the probable fate ,of the
Reed bone dry amendment to the fed
eral postofllce bill, which would pro
hibit liquor shipments into any dry
state regardless of what laws a legis
lature might pass.
Would Wait on Congress.
Congressman Shallenberger replied
that the Reed amendment was almost
ceitain to pass the house. Then the
governor, quite unofficially, suggested
that the Nebraska house just postpone
action on the prohibition bill until
ongress would have an opportunity
o ret.
Members of the house were not
orry to accede to his wishes, al
though the house in all probability, if
a vote had been taken Tuesdav, wouM
lave passed a ct.i.-tic bone dry 'aw.
State administration supporters and
advisers anil the governor himself ap
parently sized up the situation and ar-
ived at the conclusion that if a demo
cratic legislature passed a bone dry
aw the liberal voters of the state
would be quite provoked, even to the
point of retaliation at the next elec
tion, and if a liberal law was passed.
the radical drys would rise up and
mite the administration.
So the decision was reached by
state administration advisers to let
congress do it."
IGNORANCE IS NO PLEA.
Ignorance is no plea against the law,
nor against the hygiene either. So
often you hear, "I did not know it
could hurt mv health!" That is the
ery trouble. We feci an intense in
terest in politics, we busy oflrselves
in societies, but we pay little atten
tion to our body. One of the funda
mental principles is to keep the body
free from waste matter in which bac
teria breed and develop. Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine is the
most reliable of all remedies which
aid in the elimination of waste matter.
t cleans out the intestines and at the
same time strengthens them. Consti
pation, headache, negrim, nervousness,
oss of appetite and energy, all such
ailments vanish when the body is free
from waste matter. Insist upon Tri
ner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine,
refuse cheap imitations. Price $1.00
at drug stores. Trinei's Liniment is a
real necessity for every household, be
cause it gives a quick and sure relief
in rheumatism and neuralgia as well
as in strains, swellings', etc. Price

HOUSE AND SEN
ATE PASS "BONE
DRY" LAW
Vote 321 to 72 on Bill That Makes
Twenty-Two States Abso
Lutclv Drv.
Prohibits Transportation in the Mails
of Liquor to An- Prohibition
State.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 21. Abso
lute prohibition legislation took its
longest forward stride in the nation's
history today when the house, after
two hours of uproarous debate, ap
proved by a four to one majority a
senate measure which would raise an
ironclad barrier against importation
of liquor into prohibition states.
It is expected to receive the ap
proval of President Wilson within a
week, adding immediately to the
"bone dry" territory about one-third
of continental United States.
It would cut off entirely liquor im
portations amounting now to millions
of dollars annually in the large num
ber of state which have forbidden
manufacture or sale, but have per
mitted importation for personal use.
PURCHASES FINE HOG.
Henry Ilirz, sr., and son. Philip,
were in attendance this week at the
hog sale of R. C. Steel, held at his
farm near Falls City, and while there
Philip purchased a fine 373-pound gelt
which he expects to use on his farm
west of this city. The animal is one
of the finest that was offered at the
sale and Mr. Ilirz feels, will make a
valuable addition to his splendid line
of Duroc-Jersey swine that he has
been breeding quite extensively in the
past few years. Mr. Phil Ilirz has one
of the best bunches of hogs in the
county and his animals have all
brought a good price when offered fori
sale, both for weight and quality.
