ment wu a challenge to the Jacksonlans
for a fls-ht and to other conservative demo
crats who were dealrous of harmony In
the party ranks. It Is expected that prob
ably (loo people will be In atendance. There
la no doubt that many of the Jacksonlans
will be here, as they have Intimated as
much, even though Chairman Hall of the
democratic state committee was the only
Uncoln democrat present at the Jack
eon Ian banquet, with the exception of the
Hon. Andrew Jackson Sawyer, and
It was eminently fitting that he should be
present on such an occasion. Every demo
crat In the state Is Invited to be present
at the reception and banquet, but It Is
distinctly understood that It Is a recep
tion to William J. Brjan. and by William
J. Bryan democrats. If the gold demo
crats come, they come, according to the
Invitation sent out, with this understanding.
The dinner Is to be served t the Llndr
hotel and Is to be an old-fashioned affair,
with everything on the table when the
eating begins. After the guests are seated
nothing will be brought to the table but
coffee and such things. It Is expected that
Mr. Bryan will arrive home Saturday
night.

that the transfer law (section 4a. subd. 6.
school laws) should be repealed;" and, "Re
solved, that section 11, subd. 1 relative to
teachers' certificates, should be repealed."
In a circular letter sent out by Mr. Fow
ler and Deputy McBrlen the superintend
ents are requested to send In from 100 to IU0
words on either side of the questions. The
beet arguments submitted will be arranged
for and against and will be published. The
negative side has the right to offer amend
ments or substitutes In lieu of repeal and

Governor Mickey left this afternoon for
Osceola, where tomorrow afternoon he will
attend the funeral of 8. S. Snell. one of
that city's oldest citizens, who died Bun
day. Mr. Snell for a number of years had
been In the, brick manufacturing business
and was a close personal friend of the gov
ernor. He left a widow. ,
Seeks Pardon for Bask.
Attorney L. C. Burr of Lincoln was at
the governor's office this morning In behalf
of Eraeat Bush, who is now In the peni
tentiary for life for the killing of Thomas
Bailey about five years ago. Mr. Burr
acted as attorney for Bush through the
lower and the supreme courts. The gov
ernor has the case under advisement.
One Isisrssr Coaspaay Pays.
Prospects axe good now that there will
be no further contest from the insurance
companies against the new revenue law.
This la based on the action of the New
Tork Life Insurance company, which this
morning paid to Insurance Deputy Pierce
1 per cent of the amount of premiums re
ceived In Nebraska during 1901, amounting
to t.S.a. It has been the general Im
pression .here that the companies would
attempt to compel Deputy Pierce to Issue
licenses without the payment of the 2 per
cent tax by mandamus proceedings, but it
Is believed now that the action cf the New
Tork Life company will be followed by
others and there will be no further attempt
to discredit the paramount work of the last
legislature..
Invite Congressional Committees.
In the call sent out by Chairman Lindsay
for a meeting of the republican state com
mittee the chairman of each congressional
committee Is invited to attend and take
part in the proceedings. This was done
that Ideas might be exchanged for the good
cf the party. The number of delegates to
the national convention Is Just double the
representation in the national congress, two
delegates from each congressional district
and four elected at large. As both the con
gressional conventions and the state con
vention will have the same duties to per
form In this line, It wss thought that a
meeting together would be of benefit to the
organization of the party throughout the
state. The committee meeting Is set for
January 30. and as that Is the date the
farmers will bo holding about fourteen
state meetings here there Is no reason why
the attendance should not be unusually
large.
Roosevelt Clan Convention.
A resolution was adopted by the Roose
velt league tonight to request each con
gressional district to send Ave delegates to
Lincoln on January 20 to meet at the Lin
den hotel for the purpose of calling a state
convention of all the Roosevelt clubs of
the state, to be held the evening before
the state convention In the same place In
which that convention Is held. This meet
ing Is also to fix the baxls of representation.
The constitution and bylaws as previously
outline 1 were adopted. 8peeches were made
by 6u erlntendent Greene of the Lincoln
asylf ju Norrls Brown and Judge Reese.
CHAMBERLAIN AT OLD TRICKS
Absconding Ternmseh Banker Swin
dles an Havana Ac
qaalatance.
TECUMSEH. Neb.. Jan. 11. (Special.)
The officers here have received a copy of
the Havana (Cuba) Dally Post of Decem
ber 17. which contains the Information that
Charles M. Chamberlain, the absconding
cashier of the defunct Chamberlain banking
house of this city, has, up to a recent
date, been making his home In that city,
and has got In some of his fine work there.
He was known there by the name of
Charles M. . Clark, and according to the
Post's story has sailed from that city to
Tampa, Fla. The story as printed In the
Post follows:
A well known American business men of
this city has received a letter in which
It is charged that Charles M. Clark de
liberately robbed his best friend. Clark
will be remembered as a prominent figure
around the principal hotels during the
greater part of the past year. He lived
for a long time at the BrooKlyn house and
gave out that he was a cattleman search
ing for Investments. He ulwayu appeared to
be prosperous. If not well-to-do, spending
money In the cafes and other public places.
J. O. FunkhnuMer of Hagerstown. Md.,
the author of the accusing letter, came to
Havana last spring and looked for a
small tract of land to buy. He traveled
all over the Island with Clark, apparently
knowing him before he came to Cuba,
and the two men considered the advisa
bility of going Into business together. Mr.
Funkhouser's letter states that after he
had left the city without securing what
he desired, Clark communicated that he
had found a suitable tract and offered to
shire It with him.
The offer Is said to have been accepted
and a aum of more than $600 sent to Clark
tn close the deal. Mr. Funkhouser writes
that from that day, several weeks ago,
he has never heard another word from
Clark directly, but has been Informed by
other parties that he had sailed from Ha
vana for Costa Rica. The money sent to
Clark represented a considerable part of
the fortune of Mr. Funkhouser, and he
Is making efforts to trace the man who
made away with It.
Investigations made by the Post re
porter elicited evidence that Clark did not
sail for Costa Rica, although he so an
nounced to his acquaintances in the city.
A gentleman well acquainted with Clark
states that he left here for Tampa. The
statement was also made to the Post re
porter that Clark was not his real name,
as he came to this country a fugitive from
Justice. Ho Is charged with having been
concerned with the wrecking of a bank at
Tecumseh. Neb., and his real . name is
said to be Charles M. Chamberlain.
The Chamberlain bank closed Its doors
In August. 19C2, the illegal use of Its funds
by the cashier, Charles M. Chamberlain,
causing It to fall almost completely. Mr.
Chamberlain left the city between two
days and haa not been beard of since a
week or two after, when he was seen on
the streets of St. Joseph. Mo. The bank
went into the hands of a receiver and T
per cent Is all that has ever been paid
depositors. A reward of II .00 Is offered
for the return of Chamberlain to this city.

Hon. I A. Varner of Sterling, an attorney
and broker, as well as editor of the Pun
of that town, had an embarraslng experi
ence one day recently. It seems that Mr.
Varner held a mortgage and a note againat
a German farmer of his locality. On the
day In question the farmer and his wife
called at Mr. Varner's office, apparently to
consult with him. They asked to see the
papers and the lawyer produced them from
his safe. He handed them to the woman,
who started toward the stove with them.
Mr. Varner observed her Intentions and
endeavored to step forward and Intercept
her, but aa he did so the farmer gathered
him In his embrace and held him until the
woman had consigned the oocuments to
the fire. A lively scene ensued. It Is un
derstood that the matter haa since been
fixed up between the parties.

Bee:
State Superintendent Fowler haw for
mally expressed his appreciation of the
?-ood work done by everv one of the fortv
nnr outgoing countv superintendents in the
different counties of this state. The Bee.
I have done no such thing, either for
mally or Informally. On the contrary,
those who have worked with me know
that my weakness lies in the opposite
direction. Rarely do I express any ap
preciation whatever for duty well per
formed: I take It for granted. I am not
responsible for any "fake" Interviews, even
when quotation marks are used, and you
may recall my threat of a few weeks ago
to ask the courts for a writ of mandamus
to compel three of these outgoing county
superintendents to file with this department
their annual reports due last July.

There is no specific for
consumption. The nearest
approach to a cure is right
living and Scott's Emulsion.
No matter what the treat
ment may be Scott's Emul
sion will prove a valuable
addition. It has often turned
the scale of health the right
way. Because Scott's Emul
sion contains the pure cod
liver oil it furnishes heat arid
fat The hypophosphites pro
vide tissue-food, blood-food
and marrow-food. The com
bination of the two represents
a wonderful form of nourish
ment and one that can be
readily taken and retained at
any stage of the disease.
Scott's Emulsion gives best
results when used most reg
ularly. Made a part of the
consumptive's regular diet it
will invariably afford relief.
Occasional use of Scott's
Emulsion is a test unfair to
the Emulsion and the patient.

"Why no, coffee is not the cause of my troubles, besides,
I have a headache if I don't drink a cup at breakfast."
A self-confessed slave and does not know it. Absolutely
sure to suffer worse each year until the cause is removed.
AND THAT CAUSE IS
ft nlCTDlClC
Care to know how it works with some people?
A Professional Nurse of 15 years' expe'ritnee and who studied for 8 yearn
under one of the moat eminent specialist of Springfield. 111., speaks of coffee drink
ing and its effect, citing particularly the case of her own husband. . . y
"When I married him be was a confirmed coffee drtaker and It had to bo strong or he missed the rtlm-.
ulant and had headache, as the years went on, the headaches became more and more frequent, sometimes
lasting two and three days and the coffee must be made stronger. Ills stomach became badly affected, head
aches became chronic and rheumatic paralysis came on. commencing with the little finger of the left hand and
gradually extending to every finger until the entire hand was belplesa, then the right band was affected
In the saaie manner, then extended to his elbows, shoulders and Joints of bis limbs. Ills muscles seemed
to slowly contract and stiffen and at times the pains were so Intense strong opiates had to be administered.
"For over four years I dressed and undressed him aa 1 would a child. He was so helpless he could not
even remove his slippers or stockings, or bathe himself. After six years of such terrible suffering a bad cough
set in. coming from his stomach, not from the lungs, and he raieed the most corrupt matter I ever saw.
'The Incessant coughing and straining strained the main artery of his throat and I found a growth or
bard substance coming on the lower part of his neck which . gradually enlarged until it protruded outward
as large ss a turkey egg and pressed on the windpipe so much he could only breathe or swallow sitting up In
a padded chair, a hopelese Invalid. The best physicians and specialists attended him and the verdict of all
was the same he must die, nothing could save him.
"I thought coffee made matters worse and resolved unknown to my husband to try Postum and drop cof
fee so I purchased a package and prepared It according to directions, boiling it 'JO minutes after It com
menced to boil, then aoalded a little cream and prepared a small cupfuL 1 gave hiiu two teaspoonfula and no
vomiting followed or nausea and after waiting an hour I gave him two more spoonfuls and be said It tasted
good and did not burn his stomach.
"For a week I continued thePostum. gradually increasing the quantity, and then I began to add to each cup
of Postum a spoouful of Grape-Nuts food. The doctor said my struggle was useless-- that the aneurism In bla
throat would grow until it choked him to death. But I would not give up. He drank uothlng but Postum and
the vomiting ceased entirely, the burning In the stomach was allayed and the cough much easier with the dla
charge from the stomach growing less and losing its offensive odor.
"At the end of three months, after I began to give him Postum In place of coffee, he was actually able to
leave his chair and leaning on my shoulder walk a few ateps. That was over a year at;o and today ha can
walk to the postoffice, nearly amile, and back every day, takes care of the garden and enjoys life.
The aneurlxm is reduced so much that he Ilea In bed and sleeps with comfort, while the stomach trou
ble has entirely disappeared. Uia case is considered one of the most remarkable that 1ms ever been known
here In medical surgery. ,
You may be sure coffee haa been banished from our home and Tostum. the ilfesavlng friend, .a served
at every meal."
Anyone can drop the coffee habit itistnnter by using good, well made Tostum
Coffee. There's the snappy taste, rich deep seal brown color that turns to a golden
brown when cream is added.
Is bounding health and the power "to do thingb" worth while? Try it, .
