Noonday Luncheon
Sessions in Secret
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
UNCOL.N, Neb., Aug. 1. (Special.)
liancastcr county democrats already be
gin to see the handwriting of defe.it upon
the wall this year.
The Oemocratlc luncheons Inaugurated
In the beginning of the campaign when
the average democratic politician thought
he had the G. O. P. elephant by the tail
and was running him out of the political
pasture, are not the things of beauty and
the Joys forever to the democratic heart
that they were.
Things have changed. Their dreama of
victory have turned to nightmares of de
feat and now they want to change those
nice open luncheon where, everybody
who had the price could come in and
sup and where democrats could Invite In
their republican friends and show them
what real harmony was. Into sessions
where none but Simon Pure followers of
T. Jefferson can gather about the table
and discuss the awful situation which
confronts the party.
Today formed Conty Chairman Hester
made a speech declaring that theee dem
ocratlc luncheons must no more be made
public. He declared that the time had
come when it was necessary for demo
crats to cut out their foolishness and
meet in secret session.
"We have been letting republicans come
to these luncheons," said he, "and listen
to what we have had to say and. they
have been profiting by our great wisdom
and have gone out and pulled off stunts
which have hurt us and helped them. Our
meetings must be held In secret If . we
expect to win this fight."
It Is said that the Incheons may be
discontinued altogether If they cannot be
pulled off in secret session In the future.

POLITICS IS RAISING HOB

Hat)- with Campaign.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. l.-8pee1al.V-Politic
seems to be raising hob with the meetings
of the State Hoard of Assessment, which
was supposed to have been in session dur
ing the last week.
First the delay In getting out the levy
was caused by the failure of certain
counties to get in their valuation report.
Now that these are In the board is Un
able to meet because all member are not
present
Last Saturday, a week ago representa
tives of the railroads were here to meet
with' the board and cover the ground
necessary In making up the railroad
assessments, but Governor Morehead was
absent. Since that time demands have
been coming In to the board from the
counties asking why the board does not
meet and make the levies so that the
counties can make their estimates and
startouton the new levy. Many of them
are behind in the payment of vouchers
and cannot do business until the state
hoard makes the levy and certifies the
same to the different counties.
Another meeting has been called for
Monday, butt there Is no telling whether
the full board will be present and It will
take two weeks of hard work by tHb
board to get things In shape to make the
levies. Auditor Howard has been making
ncampalgn for the Second district nomi
nation, but has been on hand to meet
with the board whenever a meeting has
been called. Whether the board will be
able to get together at that time la not
known as the governor has already ad
vertised a speaking tour for that date,
but may conclude to cancel It In order
to meet with the board.
State Auditor Howard has been very
anxious to get the board together for his
home county of Douglas has exhausted
its 1913 levy and cannot pay a warrant
until the state board meets and certifies
the state levy for Douglas county, and
today tried to reach the governor with a
telegraph message- calling his attention to
the meeting Monday, but by the middle
of the afternoon had received no answer.

Internal Revenue
on Beer is Less
During Last Year
The production, and presumably the
consumption, of beer in Nebraska has de
creased this) year, according to fiprures
given out at the office of E. W. North,
acting collector of internal revenue.
The demon rum Is on the run in the
Cornfrusker state.
Some $,892's barrels less were brewed in
the state of Nebraska during July of 1014
than the corresponding' month last year,
and as a result it la presumed that the
consumption of beer In the state and its
tributary territory have likely diminished
In the same degree.
As a result the collections at the office
of the oollector of Internal revenue for
the state have diminished $3,392.50, In spite
of the fact that the Income tax and the
corporation tax have been Increased by
act of congress.
Jeff Davis, known to every 'bo. chief
of polite, railroad insn, constable and
a.l.r tunW fnmi Niw Yolk CltV to
Shanghai. China, as the -King or Ho
boes." Mew Into Omaha Saturday after
noon at 3 o'clock, and after applying a
raxor and a lr of soap to certa'n pitrt
of his epidermis, blew out at 6 o'clock
bound for Chi. ago, where he well nresl.le
t the hobo convention from August 3 to
10 In the Windy City. Davis otnildn t lin
ger In Omaha, as he will be nee.le.l in
Chicago Monday morning bright and enrly
and, as he never carries railroad trans
portation, he has to ride the night trains
on his Journeys.
Davis la the International president of
the hobes and the high mogul of the
Hoboes of America, an order of some 400,-
000 'bos. Dav's, bo 11 understood, Is a
hobo, not a tramp nor a bum. According j
to Davis, a hobo Is willing to work, a
tramp won't work anil a bum couldn't J
work If he wanted to. I
Davis came into Omaha from Denver,
where he has been attending the miners'
convention. While there he secured sev- j
eral -square meals, and when he arrived
In Omaha he couldn't be detected from an
ordinary law-abiding t-lllsen. He Is com-
pletlng his second tour of the world. He
arrived in Ienver after a couple of
months In Mexico, where he visited Vera
Crus and Tampioo and several other i
turbulent points. I
Caaie from Cincinnati.
IXavls Is a Cincinnati boy and he makes
visits to his old home frequently. He.
speaks largely in the vernacular of the
hobo, hut he also possesses an extensive
vocabulary of excellent diction Hnd l.e has
acquired a worldly knowledge of practical
affairs that would do Justice to a banker
or a statesman.
Davis is very much interested In his or
der of hoboes. There are now forty-four
locals In the hobo union. They work only
for tho good of the country and they
never encourage anyone to become a
member of their order. In fact they dis
courage It. In the last three years the
union has secured the liberty of 8,000 per
sons from Jails In this country, Incar
cerated on vagrancy charges. In the last
year 3,000 of this number secured their
liberty through the union. Runaway
boys who drift out on the road are as
sisted to return to their homes nnd the
union is always ready to do a good deed
for the country.
Again at Vaarancy Laws.
At the convention In Chicago Davis will
use his influence to pass resolutions
against the vagTanc t.iws of this coun
try. Davis holds these laws are arbitrary
and that a telegram at the expense of
the city to the home of the alleged vag
would be cheaper In the long run than
expenses of alxty or ninety days In Jail.
He will also urge that hoboes be allowed
to vote at national elections. Thero is
no desire to vote at local elections, but
Davis holds It proper that knights of the
road be permitted to vote for the presi
dency. To ltrstrlct Immlgratloa.
In addition resolutions will be passed
advocating the restriction of immigra
tion for at least a period of five years.
Davis declares that because railroads and
all big corporations employ foreign Im
migrants at low wage scales It is diffi
cult for good Americans to secure Joha.
That is why, he says, there are 2,000,000
hoboes in the United States. Davla de
clares foreign labor Is the reason for la-

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS
There is one simple, safe and sura
way that never falia to get rid of black
heads and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get about two ounces of
plain powdered neroxln from any drug
store sprinkle a little on a hot, wet
aponge rub over the blackheads briskly
wash the parts and you will be ur
prlsed how tin. blackheads have dlsap
pearedl Big blackheaniH. little hlat'K
heads. no matter where they are, simply
dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts
without any mark whatever. Blackheads
are simply a mixture of dust and dirt
and secretions from tho body that, form
in the pores of the skin. Pinching and
squeezing only cause irritation, mak.T
large pores and do not get them out
after they become hard. The powdered
neroxln and the water simply dissolve
the blackhead" so they wash right out,
leaving the pores free and clean and in
their natural condition. Anyone trou
bled with these unsightly blemishes
should certainly try this simple method.

$6.50 that's the present summer price on "Zeig
ler" coal and it buys the Large Lump, Medium
Lump, or No. 1 Nut, the sizes most users demand.
A price concession on a coal like "Zeigler" is a
worth while concession, too, for you get at one and
the same time, a coal that is sootless, clinkerless, and
almost smokeless. As far as heat units are con
cerned you won't find a hotter coal on earth than
this same "Zeigler." It's warm weather now, 'tis
true, but the memory of cold days is still fresh. Buy
coal NOW and save.
We will alto quote you aummer price
on Scranton Anthracite, Petroleum
Coke and Capitol Semi-Anthracite.
