2 THE BEtv OMAHA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1916, DRY AMENDMENT UP TO CONGRESS Proposal for National Prohibi tion Favorably Reported by House Committee. DODGE SUFFRAGE ISSUE Washington. Dec. 14 1 he pro posed national prohibition amendment was today ordere favorably reported to the house by the judiciary commit tee by a vote of 12 to 7. The proposed universal suffrage amendment was ordered reported without recommendation. The vote on the suffrage proposal was 11 to 8. The resolution by Representative Baker would submit the several Susan B. Anthony amendments to the states. Chairman Webb of the committee said he would not ask for a rule on the prohibition resolution until after the Christmas 'recess. He will not ask for any action on the suffrage proposal. Representative Card of Unio, who has Been opposed to sui fragc, was chosen to report it. Rep resentative Carlin of Virginia will report the prohibition proposal. Expect to Beat Suffrage. The reporting of the suffrage pro posal was due to the belief of some of its opponents that it can be beaten on the floor and they thought it best to settle the issue by bringing it to a direct vote in the house. An effort was made to couple it in the voting as was done at the last session of congress and which re sulted in both proposals being kept , in the committee and consideration of them postponed indefinitely. The committee by a large majority, how ever, voted not to do so. The reporting of the suffrage amendment was a surprise to its sup porters. The designation of Repre sentative Walsh of Massachusetts, an anti suffragist, to suceed Representa tive of Moss of West Virginia as a member of the committee a few days ago was generally believed by many suffrage leaders to have dealt a death blow to their chances of having any sort of a suffrage resolution reported this year.

U.-(Spe- cial.) The marriage of Christian Mosler and Miss Minta Stoop was celebrated Sunday evening. A recep tion was given at, the Star ranch in the south part of Sheridan county Mon lay night to about 300 people from Kushville, Alliance, Lakeside and surrounding country. The large barn, 32x74 feet, was fitted up for dancing, the lower part being par titioned off so that it was impossible to tell that it had ever been used for a barn, and a table the entire length of the barn being placed down the center for the midnight supper. The dancing was in the hay mow and the Alliance orchestra furnished the music. Mr. Mosler is a pioneer of western Nebraska, having built the first building in Rushvillc, and was engaged in the mercantile business at that place until 1889, when he 'commenced the ranch business, and he is now a large stockholder in the Tully-Musser Cattle company and is manager of the Star ranch.

The matter of getting mail into this town is still a very serious question. Mail that is sup posed to rcacn here at 4:55 in the evening is usually too late to be worked the same day, and the result is that quite often papers are a day old. The service was excellent dur ing the time last summer when the second passenger train was operated on this line, and since that time the arrival of mail is decidedly uncertain. The new Farmers' Union Co-operative store building is nearing com pletion and will be one of the finest in town. The building is a two-story brick and will cost about $12,000. The r .'.mbers of the Tri-County Community club gave a 6 o'clock supper to the wives last Monday evening. Over 100 people were served. A fine program of music and short talks were also given.
