ICE JAMS IN THE REPUBLICAN RIVER Much Land Inundated by Water Ris ing Above Gorges Near Bostvcick, Neb. Bostwick, Neb., Feb. 10. The ice broke up in the Rt publican river Monday in this vicinity and above here and trouble is being experi enced today with water backed up by ice gorges. A tremendous pile of huge ice cakes has formed southeast and completely dams up the river, and more broken ice is floating down from the west. The river is rising and now covered the highway at the south approach of the bridge on the main highway into town, to a depth of two and three feet and a width of twenty feet. Farmers cannot get into town from the south and stock shippers this morning had to turn back with cattle they were driving to the local yards. The water is over flowing lowlands, but has not done any material damage yet. It is ex pected the gorge will break away to day if the weather continues warm enough. It covers hundreds of acres down the river and cannot be dyna mited or moved in any way. The cakes are of unusual weight, the ice being twelve to fourteen inches thick. Guide Rock, Feb. 10. The Repub lican river at this point is receding today after a rise Sunday caused by ice gorges down stream. There is still some ice going down stream, but mostly open water now prevails and it is felt that ninety per cent of the broken ice has passed down the river. Trouble was experienced Sat urday and Sunday morning with ice Jams near Naponee. Superior, Feb. 10. In in the Re publican river at this point has broken up after one of the hardest winter freezes and the thickest ice for many seasons. Sunday a cake al Ice weighing many tons struck the cement wall built into the river near here as a race wall to control the flow, of water to the water wheel jtof the electric light and power plant. The Impact broke and dislodged section of the cement and weakened the wall.

The crest of the ice flow has not passed as yet. Columbus, Feb. 10. Ice. in both the Loup and Platte rivers south of Columbus has begun to break, but the general movement is not expect ed for at least another day or two. Channels in both rivers have cut through their crystal coats and are carrying some Coating ice, but the great body of ice is still hanging to the bars. The Union Pacific has a pile driver outfit arid a train load of rock ballast in the local yards ready to move at a moment's notice to any point along the line where needed. LA FOLLETTE REBELS WILL FIGHT OUSTER North Dakota Representative Says He Will Attend Caucus Until He Is Voted Out. Washington, Feb. 10. The ques tion of reading the La Follette in surgents out of the republican rank? promises to come squarely before the caucus of house republicans called for February 27. This was clearly indicated today when Representative Sinclair of North Dakota, one of the dozen in surgents not invited to the caucus, announced that he proposed to at tend the session and remain untii "voted out." This statement gave rise to specu lation as to the possibilitv of a break in the ranks of the house insurgents, and was accompanied by rumors that Representative Lampert of Wineon sin and others might follow Mr. Sin clair's example. Mr. Lampert declined to comment but Mr. Sinclair declared be had been elected as a republican and in tended to consider himself a mem ber of that party until otherwise no tified. Republican leaders have indicated if the insurgents desire to get back into the organization's fold, it will be practically necessary for them tc renounce the La Follette leadership and agree to bind themselves to the decisions of republican caucuses. The dozen insurgents were not In vited to the caucus on the ground that, although they were elected as republicans, they opposed the repub lican presidential ticket in the cam paign, and also sought election of in dependent congressional candidate! over the republican nominees. GRAIN MARKETING FIRM PLANS DRIVE Company Will Seek Members. Move Hitherto Precluded By Elue Skv Laws. Chicago, Feb. 10. The Grain Marketing company, the $20,000,000 organization with a co-operative pro gram recently formed by the merger of four old line companies, will start an active membership campaign at once in 12 states, from which they have heretofore been excluded by blue sky laws, Henry S. Ballard counsel for the company, announced today after the stockholders in their first annual meeting had adopted an appraisal report showing total assets of $17,382,083. The adopted appraisal report lists real estate holdings at $1,760,531. leasholds, etc., at $1,831,180, and elevators and foed mills at $11,S10,- 412. The total is $975, 0S3 more than the price which the various merged companies agreed to accept. Eallard said an appraisal such as is required by several states would be readjT soon and immediately thereafter stock would be offered for sale in those states. Officers of the company told the stockholders that the appraisal did not Include anything for good will or other intangible values, which are worth several million dollars. They stated that earnings of the selling companies had been far in excess of interest charges, not including prof its from speculative trades. Gray Silver, president, stated that a body of economists had passed on the en gineers' appraisal and a body of ex perienced farmers had sustained the report. Three directors for five-year terms were elected: John V. Coverdale, Ames, la.; Charles E. Hearst. Cedar Falls, la.; and Murray D. Lincoln. Columbus, O. Thomas Campbell.

J. Swanda and wife were among the visitors in Omaha today for a few hours, looking after some mat - ters of business. in that city. BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, February 15th i T By 1L S. Briggn 4 Christ in the Garden Golden Text: Not what I will, but what Thou wilt. Mark 14:16. "In golden youth when seems the earth A summer land of surging mirth. When thoughts are gay and health is light. And not a shadow lurks in sight Ve do not know it, but there lies Somewhere veiled under evening skies A garden we all must sometimes see, The Garden of Gethsemane." Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox very apt ly tells the story of the Master in the Garden of Gethsemane as well as at the same time portrays the actual experience of human life, for there is nor.e born of woman who can es- a;e some time in their lives the ex perience when they all alone shall be compelled to force some momentous question; when the trial shall come for them to stand for justice and right or have it proven they have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. That they are de ficient in the essentials of mankind which is require to srand alcne. The other wa may . look easier but to measure up to the stature of a true man or woman sometimes requires acrifkes and test us as to the tex- :ure of our manhood or womanhood. Following the last supper, when :he Master had said, "This do in re uemberance of me," meaining the iread and wine, He washed the dis- iples' feet to teach true humility and hen as the disciples were discour iged he spoke words of comfort to hem and following last Sunday's esson, the intercessionary prayer in vhich He prayed for an united Thristendom and a real live work ing church with all his followers !oing their full share. He with the leven disciples, for Judas Iscariot lad gone to the High Triests to sell nformaticn of the Master's where bouts, went to the Garden of Geth emane, where they had often met. The story goes that the place be onged to Mary, the mother of the luthor of the gospel of Mark. Should his be so, it explains the reason for heir having it for a meeting place. The entire atmosphere surrounding he group of devoted men, was one f sadness. They come to the en rance of the Garden and the Master harges all but three to remain there :o watch and pray. This to all, while le also went a stone's throw and you nay know how far that is by an :nergetic4 trial. Then he takes Peter, fames and John and after going a listance he also left them charging 0 watch with him and pray least hey enter into temptation. Then he Christ goes on a few paces and hrowing himself to earth prays the father, saying if there be any other 'ay, let this cup pass away from up, but not as I will, but as thou wilt. The Savior had come to this 'iour fully realizing that it was his lestiny to give his life for the sins1 t the world and in so doing he realized that even his little band of ollowers were not appreciating the importance of his sacrifice. The Mas ;er alone felt the enormity of the ask of redeeming the sins of the luraan race and in his wrestling with the question he suffered so ihat he sweat as it were great drops if blood, they falling on the ground. Vfter a session of prayer and wrest ling with the question of the salva tion of the world, he without a re sponse from the father and feeling that he was entirely alone, returned :o where he had left Peter, James and John, his most trusted disciples, fie found them asleep for it was get ting along well into the night. Can you just get into the situa ion Christ found himself when he lad left praying to the Father with ao response to his prayer, and finds the three disciples asleep, all of whom had but shortly said "You can count on us; we surely will do our part," and within an hour they had all dropped asleep. He said to them and especially to Peter: "Peter, can you not watch with me one hour, when you know this shall be my last hour an earth?" The spirit indeed is will ing, but the flesh is weak. Peter had but a short time before said "Though all the world forsake thee, yet will 1 not forsake," and 60 said they all. Peter had thought that he, a hardy fisherman used to the hard life brav ing the tempest and the sea and not afraid of man or devil, would be equal to the occasion, but did not realize that the testing time was soon to come when he would not be able to break the balance in favor of riglt and be loyal to his Master. " Again he admonished them to watch and pray lest they be tempted. He went forth and prayed again as vehemently as before; then returned and found them sleeping again. Af ter telling them that there was dan ger in their going to sleep at the critical time the Master returns and again prays and this time Angels came and ministered unto him. He comes again unto the three disciples and they were all asleep. He says, "Sleep on now, take your rest, for the struggle is over," and he had won for he had done the Father's will. The Master saw a crowd of sol diers coming with lights, spears and swords, and he says to the disciples, "Come, let us go now. They are here and I am betrayed into the hands of sinners." Then eorneth Judas Iscariot and walking up to the Master, said, "All j hail!" and kissed him, as it was the' fashion of men then to greet each other with a kiss. The Christ, the son of God, sayeth unto him, "Judas be trayeth the Son of God with a kiss?" Then they, when the Master asked them wtat do you want, said, "We 'are looking for Jesus of Nazareth." t Then in that majesty, the son of Have Your Harness Oiled! We are prepared to look after your harness work, which includes oiling and repairs. Leave them at our store in Murray. We go to Plattsmouth every day with the truck, and will be back the following day ready for you. We do Tin Work, Furnace Work, look cfter the repairs on your Corn Shelters and Eliminate the Trou bles of the Gas Engine. pi r a F f? Murray, the most high God said, "I am he." They then in the presence of him who had been with the father before the world was made, fell to the ground in the presence of the ruler of heaven and earth co-ordinate with the Father, for the Father had con ferred this power on the son. . He said again, "I am he," but al low them to go their way. Then Peter thinking he was strong enuf to fight the Lord's battles, whipped his sword from its scafford and dash ed at the foe. The first to meet was a servant of Matchas and one of the ears went to the ground with the flood following the stroke and with the fighting blood of the sturdy Peter he was gathering for another stroke which probably would have severed one's head or thrust some one thru when the mild but commanding tone of the Master said, "It is enough. Put your sword into its sheath. He that taketh the sword shall die by the sword." With this Peter put up his weapon, disappointed because he had, while he had said before unto the Master, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of God" felt somehow there should be an earthly kingdom, and he was willing to fight for it. Christ touched the ear and it was made per fectly whole. Then the soldiers led the Master away to the city and the disciples were scattered. Then came a Gethsemane for all that was a night of more testing and a test for all. They did not know, but they must pass into the Garden for a trial lasting more than the few hours. Their experiences took them "Down shadowed lanes across strange streams, Bridged over by their broken dreams. Behind the misty caps of years Beyond the great salt found to tears. The Garden lies. Strive as we may We cannot miss it all the way. For all paths that have been or may be, Lead somewhere through Geth semane, "All those who journey soon or late Must pass within the garden gate; Must kneel alone in darkness ' there, And grapple with some fierce despair. "God pity those who cannot say, - 'Not Mine, but Thine!' Who only pray, 'Let this cup pass!' Who do not See his purpose in Gethsemane." Ella Wheeler Wilcox. That hour must come to us all. and alone, or with the help of the Master, for he has said, "I go to the Father, and ask what you will in my name and I will grant it unto you." Let us be ,the stronger when we shall have had our testing in Geth semane. SENATOR ATTACKS TAX ON PULLMANS Congress Asked to Repudiate Recom mendation for Retention of Surcharge. Washington, Feb. 10. Repudia tion by congress of recommendations by the interstate commerce commis sion for retention of the Pullman surcharge was urged in the senate today by Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina, chairman of the in terstate commerce committee. Senator Smith also asked the sen ate to order the commission's recom mendations set aside through an amendment attached to some pending bill. This course, he said, would get the question into conference with the house without the necessity cf wait ing on that chamber to act on a bill ordering elimination of the surcharge Get Heady for Spring! Better get your harness in good repair for the spring work, while there is no rush for their use. We have a shop here and can make all necessary repairs as well as oiling them. Bring the harness in while you have time, and remember we are carrying a full line cf heavy and shelf hardware for your use. Hurray hardware MURRAY -:- -:- Nebraska which the senate passed at the last session. Senator Smith described the ."' per cent surcharge as "unusual and, in ray opinion, unlawful," and asserted that yesterday's report of the inter state commerce commission uphold ing the rate was "unfa re and unjust to the laymen." "The report tried to make out," he continued, "that the handling of Pullman cars was more expensive to the railroad than ordinary cars. As a matter of fact, railroads are reliev ed of the expense of upkeep of Pull man cars by the Pullman company. "This tax is unfair, uncalled for and unnecessary. Pullman cars arc necessities and should be made avail able for every one." Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the democratic leader, "joined in denun ciation of the report and insisted if the bill passed at the last session by the senate could be gotten to a vote in the house, it would pass "over whelmingly."
