Just where Senator Norris comes
in is not definitely known. He is
not in the best graces of the party,
but there is another consideration
that may lead the committee of six
to take him into their councils. The
appointments will have to be ratified
by tle senate, and in the senate
this is left entirely to the senatorial
representation from the state in
which the appointments are made, so
there Norris will have a hand worth
playing.

HER FRIENDS SEE
A GREAT CHANGE
Iowa Woman Says She Feels Better
j Than for Years Gives Tan
I lac the Credit for It.
"Since I began taking Tanlac my
friends say I am looking a whole lot
betier and 1 certainly feel better
than I have in years," said Mrs.
Helen Gawley, of Lyons. Iowa.
"My stomach and kidneys worried
rue for several months and I was
generally run down and weak. I had
no appetite, what little I forced my
self to eat would not digest. Gas pres
sed r.p into my chest and caused such
terrible pains that 1 was afraid I
had heart trouble.
"I was weak and nervous and I
scarcely lived a moment without suf
fering severe pains in my back. I
just felt worn out and tired all the
time and had no energy.
"I read a lot about Tanlac, and
also learned that it had helped my
mother wonderfully, so I decided to
try it. and it has helped me so much
that I don't feel like the same
woman. My appetite has come back
and I eat foods that used to nearly
kill me to eat without feeling the
least discomfort. The pains have
disappeared from around my heart
and I never feel tired and worn out
any more. My housework seems ten
times as easy as it did before, and
as Tanlac is what has restored my
health I just can't praise it enough."
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by
F. G. Fricke and Company; in Mur
ray by the Murray Drug company,
and the leading druggist in every
town.
WILL NOT ASK
FEDERAL AID
State Meeting o; Commissioners and
Supervisors Decide Not to Ask for
Aid For Bridge Work.
Cass County, which possesses the
only two toll bridges in the state of
Nebraska, was the center of attrac
tion at the state meeting of the coun
ty commissioners and supervisors at
Omaha yesterday when the matter of
federal aid for the erection of bridges
was discussed.
The question was brought up in a
resolution signed by Hans H. Sieh
and William McQuistan.
"Resolved, That our senators and
representatives be requested to in
troduce an amendment to the federal
road act at the coming session of
congress making the accumulating
funds, to the credit of the different
counties available to build roads and
bridges on the federal aid roads with
in the counties."
The resolution was discussed at
some length and much opposition de
veloped to the changes proposed in
the law as it was feared it might in
terfere with the operation of the fed
eral aid law in the assisting of the
highways of the state.
The representatives of Cass county
pointed out the peculiar situation in
this case where the Cass county in
terests are favorable to the adoption
of the free bridge proposition but are
facing the fact that Sarpy county on
account of its size and small valua
tions is up against it in supplying
their share cf the funds that might
be needed in the erection of the
bridge. It was not the best reflection
on the counties that the only two
places in the state where the traveler
was compelled to pay a tax to cross
the streams was at Plattsmouth and
Louisville. It worked a hardship on
not only Cass county but the other
counties in the southwestern portion
of the state.
In opposing the resolution one del
egate suggested that he understood
that the owners of the two toll bridg
es across the Platte in Cass county
were anxious to sell them to the
state, and that the state did not de
sire to buy and old bridges.
After an extended discussion, in
which numerous advocates of the sta
tus ouo were heard, tne resolution
was defeated by a decisive vote.
It was different with a resolution
asking that, the legislature so amend
the Nebraska law that precinct road
overseers shall be appointive by the
county cemmissioners, instead of
elective. This is not a new proposi
tion at all. It had been often urged
but when it has come up for legisla
tive adjustment it has been found
that the farmers like to have some
thing to say about who shall be road
overseer. As was once stated:
"There are a good many farmers
who do not violently concern them
selves about who is to be president of
the United States, but when it comes
to the selection of a road overseer in
their precincts, they are very earnest
in their desire to have something to
say on the subject."
All of the officers cf the road com
mis'orers' organization were re
elected. They are: ' P. J. Kennedy
of York, president; L. R. Barlow of
Lodge Pole, vice president; C. A
Holmquist of Wausa. secretary-trea
surer; Charles E. Hill, Hastings, ser
eeant-3t-arms.
When it came to the selection of a
mppinEr r.lace for next year, Mr
Trover of the Lincoln chember o
commerce extended that city's invi
tation. But the county clerk's or
ganization. which is an adjunct of
th commissioners' association, voted
solidlv for Omaha, while the division
in the meeting was slightly in favor
of that city also, and it was chosen.

SANCTITY OF CONTRACTS
One of the most discouraging fea
tures of present business conditions
is thelack of respect for contracts.
A merchant, fearing that he may
suffer from loss on an order already
placed, unhesitatingly wires in an or
der cancelling the contract and leav
ing the other fellow with the bag to
hold.
Every man engaged in business
should show a profound respect for
contracts, and. unless he does so, he
cannot hope for permanent success
in his business.
We talk about "prosperity", but
prosperity is of little account, com
pared to the fine sense of honor that
used to prevail in the business world,
and the sanctity of contracts, either
verbal or written. In fact, there can
be no permanent prosperity without
an enduring respect for contracts;
n other words, the maintenance of
good faith.
Behind every transaction in busi
ness or social life, there must be re-
pect for the plighted word, or the
whole structure of business and civ
ilization will crumble.
Let us get back to the good old
ways of our fathers, whose word was
as good as their bond, and whose
word was kept as a matter of course,
regardless of its temporary effect on
their fortunes.
We all want prosperity, but honor
is more important than prosperity,
and indeed real prosperity is impos
sible without it.
QUINTON HEADS
STATE SHERIFFS
Meeting; at Grand Island Elects Pop
ular Cass County Official for Third
Time as State President.
The Members of the state sheriff's
association which" is meeting this
week at Grand Island, are evidently
of the same opinion as the people of
Cass county in regard to keeping the
services of a good .and efficient offi-
lal. as they have re-elected for pres-
dent of their state association Sher-
ff Carl D. Quinton of Cass county.
Mr. Quinton has been the presiding
officer of the association for the past
wo terms and his splendid handling
of the office has caused his associates
to insist Jthat he remain in the posi-
ion to which he has been elected.
Peter Duffy of O'Neill, the present
secretary-treasurer was also re-elected.
The meeting has been one filled
with great interest and the discus
sion of the automobile thieves an'
other phases of the work of law en
forcement was discussed by the asso
ciation as was the question of the
present compensation that the coun-
y sheriff's are receiving. The ses
sions wrere well attended by represen
tatives from the different counties
and the greatest of interest shown
in the work of the convention. The
closing session was marked by a very
enjoyable banquet to the members.
ANNOUNCE DATE OF
HOLDIM BANQUET
Young Men's Bible Class Will Hold
Annual Event on Friday Even
ing, January 14th.
The young men's bible class of the
First Methodist church of this city
ve announced the date of their
annual banquet, an event that at
tracts the attention of the young
men of the community as an occasion
when the feast of plenty and of the
soul can be enjoyed.
This year the date will be Friday,
January 14th. and a splendid toast
list has been arranged and the chief

state and one of the busiest men in
the City of Omaha and whose coming

tunity of hearing something worth
while.
The ladies of the church are to
prepare the feast of the occasion and
this is sufficient to guarantee that
this part of the banquet will be all
that could be desired by the most
discriminating.
The name of the toastmaster will
not be announced until later, but he
is to be one of the rising young men
of the community and one well fitted
to preside at an occasion of this kind.
The banquet date is only a month
away and the residents of the com
munity can prepare now for a rare
treat in the banquet line this year
THE LADIES AID
SOCIETY MEETS
Methodist Church Parlors Scene of a
Very Pleasant Gathering Yes
terday Afternoon.
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon the Ladies
Aid society of the First Methodist
church met at the church parlors
and enjoyed a most delightful occa
sion and one filled with the greatest
of interest to all.
The hostesses of the afternoon were
Mesdames W. F. Evers. Lillian Car
raher and Julius M. Hall and the
gracious hospitality afforded the
members of the party was much en
joyed by those who were fortunate
enough to be present.
The members of the society were
busily engaged during the business
session in discussion of the plans for
serving the banquet of the Y. M. B.
C. on January' 14th, and also out
lining the watch party which will
be held at the church on New Year's
eve.
One of the features of the after
noon that will be long very pleas
antly remembered by the ladies pres
ent was the address made by At
torney C. A. Rawls on "Abraham
Lincoln," and in his discussion of
the life of the great leader of his
people in their hour of trial, Mr.
Rawls entered into a personal and
pleasing analysis of the life work of
Lincoln.

On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Lis
tou were called to Omaha on account
of the sickness of their son. Dr. O.
E. Liston, who had to undergo an
operation for apyewiMtis. The op
eration was a success" and lie is get
ting along as well-ay could be ex
pected. .
Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Brinton are
rejoicing because of- the birth of a
fine daughter to them on last Fri
day. Both mother and babe are do
ing nicely and the parents h ive the
hearty congratulations of the neigh
borhood in this happy event.
Word comes from friends of Dan
Fentiman and Oscar Miller to the
effect that they have had their heads
together recently a good deal and
they state that they intend starting
a barber shop. Well, what do you
know about that? We have it fig
ured out that if it can't be done
any other way, Dan can hold them
while Oscar puts on the tonsorial art
work. Glad to hear of their launch
ing in a new enterprise.
Last Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. W.
J. Renard motored down from Lin
coln to get the latter's father. E.
Hendricks, who returned with them
to spend Thanksgiving day. Mr.
Renard lived for some time in Cherry
county and at the present time ias
a quarter section of land up there
and has a fine lake on it and this
he has stocked with line game fish,
so at the present time there are many
good sized fish in the lake ind a lot
of the smaller ones. He expects to
develop this industry there to a con
siderable extent. The Sollars family
also spent Thanksgiving at the Een-
ard home. On Sunday all were going
to the Sollars home to help do Jus
tice to a big opossum dinner, but
the roads would not permit. Mr. Hen
dricks returned home Monday morn
ing. Ed Smith, who has been operating
the mill at this place for the Omaha
Milling Products company, has pur
chased the lease and is now in full
control of the mill and management,
of the same. Mr. Smith is an expert
miller and has managed a nur.ilxr
of big mills. He. has already estab
lished a reputation among the house
wives by milling flour that makes
the finest loaves of bread in the
world. He is making as good flour
as any of them and is selling a lot
of it. He also is selling a lot of
mill feed. Wp believe that a mill
doing a good business in Elm wood
is a fine thing for the town and sur
rounding country and we should sup
port Mr. Smith and help him make
the milling business a big success
here.' " ' '
