Tho stubborn light over the normal "achool

mcntnry practice is resorted to by the
friends and opponents of the measure to
such n degree as to bewilder tho most ex
pert parliamentarian who1 might happen to
occupy tho chair; tuo only wonder Is that
the inotluns, points of order and questions
of personal privilege hftvo not been more
Inextricably mixed up. The fact Is, how
over, that oven tho most anient friends
of the bill hnvo long slneo given up any
Idea of getting It transformed Into lnw, but
they have been egged on by tho fusionlsts,
who havo for tho most part lined up In favor
of tho bill solely for the purpose of putting
Uovornor Dietrich In an awkward post

it out that ho will veto tho hill If It evor

questing that It be published:
Tho published slntemont that I nm
'prominent In opposition to Itosewnter' haa
no foundation, I am not in favor ot nu
tleuns or combinations of any kind on the
senatorial question and 1 certainly would
not In nny such proposed tleups voto as n
populist for n republican for senator whom
I" would not voto for If 1 were n repuu-
llcan member. Ab to Mr. Itosewater, I
consider him tho nblcst man of any repub
lican mentioned for tho scnntorshlp. fur
ther, ho ought to be, Btid I believe Is, the
most neceptablo to the rank and file of tho
populists of tho stato of any republican,
owing to his pa.U record on anti-monopoly
measures nnd nis refusal to support men
nominated by his party whom he considered
simply corporation tools nnd not men of
tho people. It was his fight on such lines
that mndo It possible for tho populists to
elect their first govrrnor of isoDrasKn
While Mr. Itosewnter has fought the popu
list party hard and while I do not Indorso
his Ideas nor acts In many respects, yet
I nm not In anv way lighting hltn, as pub

with an election of Hoscwatcr by nny

most nt tho foot of the general file.
A motion to advance tho bill for eommlt

It for consideration In the commltto of th

A young lady In California had a remark
able experience with coffee drinking. The
details urri most Interesting to anyonu who
even suspects that coffee Is damaging to
tho health. She says: "I drank coffuo from
a child, and n fow yenrs ngc my health be
gan to break down, everything I uto or
drank distressed me, nnd I settled Into a
chronic form of dyspepsia accompanied with
a hendacho every morning, and wns very
Irritable most of the time. I could not
sleep without taking a sleeping draught
Whllo a. first tho pains in my Btomacu
wero slight, they kept growing worse, until
finally tho most whulcsomu food nnd drink
would cnuse Intense ugony, and n few mlu
utes nftcr eating 1 would hnvo to throw
everything up. My doctor had been telling
me for some time that eorteo wns hurting
me, but J did not believe It wns true, for 1
saw many people drink colfeo nnd thrSght
I could.
Of course, In this condition 1 could not
sustuln my llesh and strength, and 1 lost
In weight from 18.1 pounds down to 00
pounds, and became n perfect skeleton,
starving to death In n land of plenty. I
wns confined to my bed and dying by Inches
The doctor told mo there was no cbanco
of my over getting well as my stomach
was worn out.
They had begun to wonder how many
moro days i wouiu live, uno uay a lauy
friend called und told how wonderfully she
had been helped out of stomach trouble
and headaches by leaving off coffee, and
using I'ostum Food Coffeo nnd Grape-Nuts
Food. Sho went right to work and mado
me a nice cup of I'ostum nnd propnreda
little Grape-Nuts, 1 dreaded tho torture
ot taking anything Into my stomach, but
sho coaxed mo to take a spoonful of I'os
turn nnd of Grape-Nuts. To my great stir-
priso I found I did not have any pain to
speak of in my stomach, nnd tho food ac
tually staid down.
Kveryono vas completely mystified. In
a little time niterwaru i uronn three
spoonfuls ot the l'osttim and took a little
moro of tho Grape-Nuts, and that stayed
down and seemed to sootho my nerves and
glvo mo a restful feeling.
Soon after tho doctor came and my nurse
told him that, for the first tlmo In three
weeks, too! had stayed on tho stomach
He could hardly believe her as ho thought
death was very ncur. Then ho wnnted to
know what 1 hod boon eating nnd drinking,
Ho took home somo of tho Grapo-NutB
and I'ostum, Tho next day he said there
was no mystery about It, ns ho had anal
yzed tho samples und said lie had found a
pre-dlgcstrd food, nnd ono that would not
hurt tho 6tomiv.ii, nnd the I'ostum was tho
most imtur.il drink ho had over seen. Ho
said that It did not exclto tho nerves an
did coffee, nnd that It was nourishing nnd
built up tho system Instead of tenting It
down. Iio had my nurso give mo more ot
tho I'ostum and Grapo-Nuts and said there
was ono chance in ten that my system
might bo built up and my life, bo saved
lu less than a week b tlmo I could drink
halt u cup of I'ostum nt once, and how It
did quiet my nerves and make mo feel like
I was getting somo strength.
Sx day after beginning I'ostum I went
to bIcop tho first tlmo In two months with
out taking a sleeping draught, bo Btep by
step I kept on Improving. Tho headaches
disappeared. My stomach became stronger
each day and I gained steadily In weight.
At tho end ot four months I folt like a
now person, and had gained fifty pounds
In weight, could slcop well, eat plain food,
aud, all In all, feel well and strong again.
My head Is so clear that I can think bet
U-r than I ever could, I know, and all ot
our friends know, that tliere Is not the
slightest doubt but that I would bo In my
crave today but for Postum Food Coffeo

LINCOLN, March 8. (Special.) The sen-
ate has taken the Inltlatlvo In tho matter
of bringing the various apportionment bills
beforo tho legislature. Karly In tho week
the committee reported for passage the bill
Introduced by Senator Young, which has
for Its object the reapportionment ot the
congressional districts of the state. In the
opinion of tho members of the committee
there will be no trouble lu getting this
bill through tho Renate, but they'nro not
so sure of Its fato when It comes up for
consideration In tho house, where the re
publican majority Is so small.
In regard' to tho legislative redisricting
bills even moro apprehension Is felt. The
sonate committor" todny reported favorably
on senate fllo 76, Sonntor Van llosklrk's
bill dividing tho state Into new senatorial
nnd representntlve districts, nnd while tho
bill has been gono over with ronsldernblo
care by tho committee and changed until
the title Is about the only thing left ot the
original bill, it Is still objectionable to
many of tho members, especially those of
tho central and eastern portions of tho
state, whero tho representation Is some
what cut down by the provisions of tho bill
"Wo haven't much hopes of getting this bill
through," said a member of the committee
today, "but It Is n Just measuro and wo
are going to work hard to have It pass
It helps the western part of the slnto and
iilso Douglas county, but tho representation
Is based on population and no fair-minded
man should object to any community hav
Ing what Is due It."
The bill recommended for passage re
district tho stato as follows, the number
of members being Indicated by tho figures
