Senator J. A. Donohoe returned from a visit to Lincoln Tuesday. The Senator spent several days in Lincoln hob-nobbing with the governor and other luminant lights of Nebraska democracy and urgiDg the calling Of aspeciil session of the legislature. Jim wants to eliminate couuty option from the politics of the bourbons and probably thinks he might have added into the special call a demand a non partisan judiciary so that he could get his pet hobby to the front again and would probably try to make it tight enough to pass muster before the su preme court. The senator is of the opinion, however, that there will be no special session as the democrats who opposed the initiavite and ref erendum at the last session have fail ed to see the “error of their way’’ and are still opposed to this pet measure of the peerless leader.

Scenes in the streets of this citj will not only be taken by a movinj picture camera, but shown on thi circuits of a big til in exchange, afte running for several months in th Ak-Sar-Ben den at Omaha. This is one of the benifits whicl the city will receive as a result of the visit of the Omaha and South Omaha business men who are coming one , hundred and twenty strong in May.; < They have arranged with a moving , picture camera operator to accompany; their special train and make pictures in every town and city where the* light will permit. The Omahans have suggested that if a city has any special drive or trip represantative of business or sur-, roundings of this community, ar~ rangements should be made to take the moving picture operator to the place immediately on arrival of the train. Some towns have arranged to have a parade of school children; others their fire department, while a few will have a live stock parade for the moving picture man to take. The Ak-Sar-Ben den in Omaha is the big meeting place of the Nebraska boosters. It is where they entertain thousands of visitors every summer, beginning in June and continuing, until October. The films made on; this trip will be sbown constanly at the den and then turned over to an exchange which has contracted to show them in the leading moving pictures theatres in the west. Pictures taken in this city will thus go around a long circuit and thousands will see the scenes reproduced, which will not be a bad advertisement for | any town or city._ Clauson-Shaw.
