Will He Given Most
Attention.
As. a Nobraska republican, Senator John
M. Thurston responded to more felicitations
after election and more anxious inquiry before-
that auspicious, event than any other
public man in Washington. The satisfac
tion In tho national capital over the Ne
braska returns, Senator Thurston says, Is
far out ot proportion to tho vote of Its eight
electors. Tho senator wob accompanied
homo by two sisters of his wife, the Misses
Purmanundi'wlll return, with theou to
Washington at tho close of tho week.
"The streets of Washington aro already
enlivened by the coming ot another session
of congress," said Senator Thurston, "al
though few members have as yet reached
tho capital. The approaching session will
bo crowded with business, as It will be
barely two months long, expiring by a
statute limitation on March 4.
"Ono of tho most important measures be
fore congress this winter will be tho army
bill, a causo of more or less anxiety to tho
fuslonlsts during tbo campaign. It Is the
. administration's proposal to equip a forco
of 65,000 men, organized under tho battal
ion plan, so that It can bo Increased to 100,
000 In t,lme of need without additional leg
islation. The companies will consist ot
slxty-rtvo men and may bo Increased to 100.
The bill In my opinion Is conservatlvo and
wisely drawn, In view of tho conditions at
homo and abroad.
"A Nlcaraguan canal bill will nlso be
taken up and probably pushed through dur
ing tho session. Tho house bill now before,
tho senate reserves to tho United States
full power to regulate the traffic of tho canal
even to closing tho channel altogether. The
proposed treaty with Groat Britain before
tho senate, on tho contrary, provides that
the canal shall bo open nt all times to neu
tral nations. It hus been said 'that Drltaln
possesses certain rights over the canal
through the Clayton-nulwor treaty, but It
Is a faot that such a treaty has no more con
trolling powor thon any othnr national
statute. It may be canceled by a later
measure Just as a state law 1b mada void by
tho operation ot one subsequently passed.
Personally I am Inclined to favor the house
measure, which keeps tho reins In tho hands
of tbo United States.

"Another Important task of congress this
winter will bo the readjustment of congres
sional district In accordance) with tho new
census. If there Is only a slight Increaso
In the number ot congressmen Nebraska
may be able to hold Its six members, but
there Is reason to fear that the six districts
will be contracted Into five. As to the
make-up of tbo new congress there Is no
doubt that tho republicans will hold their
prestlgo by an tncreasod majority."
Senator Thurston has taken no hand In
local politics for some time, except to offor
his time to the republican state committee
during tbe campaign. The senator made a
number ot addresses In the state, and while
he endeavored-to believe In all conservatism
after his tour that tbe republicans would
win, the result brought him scarcely less
ot surprise than satisfaction. Following his

tor Thurston has no Intention ot Imtnedl
ately re-entering politics. The rumor had
been circulated that ho would permit his
flamo to be presented to tho legislature as
a candidate tor re-election In spite ot bis
original disavowal of any such Intention. In
answer to an Interrogation on this point the
senator said emphatically:
"When I said I bad no desire to servo an
other term In tbo senato I meant that stato

would not permit my name to bo presented

CONGRESSMEN WILL HOLD CAl'CUS,
Mercer Receive n Telegram Cnlllnfr
Illm to WnnhhiKtou.
Congressman David II. Mercer received a
telegram yesterday calling tho repub
lican members of the house Into nn Imme
diate caucus. He will antlclpato his de
parture by several days, therefore, and will
start for Washington this morning. Mr.
Mercer spent most of yesterday In receiv
ing delegations which deslro further rip
rapping along tho river and similar emis
saries from various parts of the threo coun
ties. "The sosslon opening December 3 will be
a very short one and the procedure will be
moro hurried and confused than usual on
such occasions," said Mr. Mercer. "From
what I can ascertain tho republican caucus
will have to do with a revision of tho rev
enue laws. The people have folt for some
time that somo reduction might be made
In tho war tax and the caucus will probably
connuer jusi now rar u is wise to go in
that direction. The Initiative, ot course.
must come from tho house.
"Among tho local matters which will
probably como up Is tho rlprapplng ot tho
Missouri north of Omaha. There Is special
need for further work between Florence
and Omaha In order that tho labor already
accomplished may bo held secure. Tbon
something must bo dono for the postofllce
at niatr, whore the contractor has thrown
up the Job and tho work Is at a standstill.
It may bo necessary to secure a small ad

The annual meeting of the Knights ot Ak-Sar-Ucn
will be held next Monday night at
the Den and tho men who mado tho fall
festival of 1900 will consider plans over tlio
banquet tablo for making tho festival of
1801,uhporallolod In the history of Buch af
fairs In tho west.
Originally tho annual meeting wns called
for tho Commercial club rooms and the
business was to have boon of a routine na
turo, including the election of three gov
ernors to fill tho places mado vacant by
the expiration of tho terras of It. S. Wilcox,
Fred Motz, Jr., and Edgar Allen. After the
call was Issued tho board of governors de
cided to glvo a complimentary banquet to
tho men whoso cash and presence mado the
festival of 1900 so successful. It was then
decided to hold tho annual meeting at the
Den and Homo Miller was authorized to
provldo a banquet oufflclent for all who re
ply to tho cards of Invitation which havo
been sent out. In order to restrict the at
tendance only to members the password In
use last summor will be taken up at tho
door. Members who havo forgotten tho
word will havo tholr memories refreshed by
a competent attendant.
Several persons havo been roquestcd to
respond to toasts following the dinner, and
their acceptances will be received In ttmo
for tho publication of tho program Satur
day. At tho same tlmo tho governors de
slro every member of Ak-Sar-Hon's tribe
to ransack tholr Inner consciousness for
Ideas quaint, cuto and practical for the fes
tival of tho coming yenr nnd propose the
result of their cogitations nt tho nnnual
meeting.
KulKhts Still Stand I.oynl.
Thero wcro 874 Invitations Issued for tho
meeting and accompanying each Invitation
was a blank application for membership In
tho society for tho year 11)01. It Is a pleas
Ing fact to note that tho applications are
now bolng returnod with check's and bills
for $10 attached, Showing that by far th?
larger part of tho membership of tho last
yenr Is ready and willing to remain In the
king's retinue.
In addition to the applications for mem
bershlp tho sccrotary has mailed 350 cards
to citizens asking pledges for tho parade
fund for next year. The money pledged Is
payable after April 1, J901, and many of
tho cards have been returned properly filled
out for amounts corresponding to what the
treasurer expected.
At the annual mooting an opportunity
will bo given for tho old members to pay
their dues for tho coming year, but tho
governors are more anxious to obtain Ideas
than to recctvo cash nnd prefer tho people
to bring with them suggestions for tho next
festlvnl rather than their dues. The treas
urer urges tho prompt response to his cards
of Invitation, as the plates provided at tho
banquet will depend upon tho number slg
nlfylng their Intention of coming to tho
meeting.

VIADUCTS' FATE IN BALANCE
Oity Will Abandon Two Projected Structu re
if Suiti Are Lout,
DAMAGE AWARDS MAY PROVE TOO SERIOUS
Treasury Would Find the Droit
Too Heavy It Sums Asked an Flrt
Structure Are Extended to
the Other Two.
Tho members of tho South Side Improve
ment club and resldonts of tho city generally
who havo been zealous In their efforts to
securo tho construction of viaducts over the
railroad trncks at Twenty-fourth street nnd
tho Vinton street boulevard aro likely to bo
disappointed. City Attorney Connell has
made tho statement that tho municipality
wilt not tako another step toward the com
pletion ot either of tho projects In tho event
of the courts allowing damages to property
owners now appealing from the awards of
the appraisers for the Sixteenth street via
duct. Tho viaduct at tho Vinton street boulevard
Is now In the course ot construction. The
main span has been put In place. Tho
Twenty-fourth street viaduct Is still on pa
per, but tho city and the railroads have
given assurances that preliminary work will
bo commenced at a very early date. City
Attorney Connell says that this situation
will not prevent a decldod stand being taken
against furthor efforts for the viaducts, It
by a decision of tho court It Ib shown that
the city la liable for heavy damages by al
lowing these Improvements.
Judgo Baxter Is now hearing suits to re
cover damagos on account of the Sixteenth
street viaduct. Many property holders, In
cluding several who waived damages when
the old viaduct was built and others who
held out for extra remuneration nnd wero
successful In their application to tho courts,
havo now put In large claims, appealing
from tho award of tho appraisers. These
claims tho city has disputed. In tho aggre
gate, tho city attorney says they amount to
$26,000.
"Somo of theso peoplo assert their prop
erty has been damaged because tho viaduct
Is so high It shuts off tbe light from their
dwellings and stores," tho city attornoy
stntcd. "Others maintain that, being largor
than tho former one, It permits increased
traffic ond consequently more dust and
dirt blows against tho adjacent buildings.
If the court allows damages on theso allega
tions It Is reasonable to supposo that the
peoplo who live olung Twenty-fourth street
and the Vinton street boulevard can suc
cessfully press similar claims. The result
Is certain. Tho city will be out ot pockot
thousands of dollars.
"As the matter now stands I know tbo
city will not tnko another step toward
securing theso viaducts It tho court allows
the claims ot tho property holders, unless
It should happen that tho people owning
property along tho other streets mentioned
will agico In advance to waive all claims
for 'damages, a very unlikely contingency."
Many of your friends, or people whom you
know of, havo contracted consumption,

Finding a Fortune and
Founding a Fortune.
A. TRAMP'S LUCK AND AN EN
ERGETIC MAN'S PURPOSE.
It is perhaps true as told that a tramp,
searching a garbage barrel for scraps of
refuse food, found a fortune in cood
United States currency. Such a thing
may happen.
liut the workman who gives up a
steady occupation however unremuner
ative to hunt garbage barrels for a fort
une vfill surely degenerate to n tramp.
There is difference between finding a
fortune and founding a fortune. Few
men chance upon fortunes. The fort
unes we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis.
The nature of that basis of fortune is
well set forth in the advice given by a
successful merchant to a young man
who asked, "What is the first requisite
to making a fortune?" "The first re
quisite to making a fortune" said the
rich man, "is health." "The idea Uiat
fortunes are made suggests toil and in
dustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But a weak man cannot
toll, mid industry is incompatible with
Ill-health. If you want to be strong
remember that all physical strength
comes from food aud that the amount of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to di
gest food and assimilate its nutrition.
The man who takes care of his digestion
is, in general, taking care of every other
organ of his body."
SUCCUSS AND THU "STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much of a
physician but he was a good deal of a
philosopher, lie had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, break
down because of "stomach trouble."
He had theorized the aaying that the
"weakest must go to the wall" into the
saying that "the man with the weakest
stomach must go to the wall," because
no man is stronger than his stomach.
The man who will learn this lesson of
success has taken a great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite of
success and health in general means a
ound stomach and a good digestion.
Look at the logic of the matter. Food
is a man's life, nis strength. Physical
life is sustained by food. But the fact
that a thing can be eaten doesn't make
it food. Many a physician practising in
the tenements of a city says of failing
men or women, "What tney need is
nourishing food." Shipwrecked men
eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees,
anything to aatisfy hunger. But this is
not food in any true 6ense because it
contains no nutrition. All food must
be considered in relation to its nutritive

value. When the stomach and the al
lied organs of digestion and nutrition
are diseased the nutrition contained in
food Is Imperfectly extracted and tho
body falls of nutrition adequate to its
needs. The shipwrecked tailor living
upon scraps in wyich there is no nutri

abundant nutritious food but whose
stomach with its allied organs is dis
eased and therefore falls to extract from
the food eaten the nutrition which la
the body's need.
SOUND STOMACH, SOUND MAN.
That is almost an axiom. The man
with a sound stomach and good diges
tion will in ordinary be n sound man,
because the nutriment of food is the life
nnd strength of heart, lungs, liver, kid
neys nnd every organ of the body.
The first need of a weak man is to
look after his stomach and his digestion.
