IB SHOULD MEET OF HE SURROUNDING TERRITORY Merchants Should Take Steps to Furnish Accomodations to Those Who Trade With Them and Bring Produce to Town. Experience has demonstrated that 4t Is impossible for the merchants of asy town big or little to do the Maximum amount of business unless (at town satisfactorily meets the eeds of the territory of which it is the commercial center, says the Oma ha Trade Exhibit. A market town must be something more than a place where farmers trade produce at the stores for staples ead where they sell products at more i less satisfactory prices for cash, much of which Is Immediately sent to the big city for a wide variety of merchandise. town, to be a real market place, must offer advantages to the farmer both as a buyer and seller more ad vantages than competing towns If bnsiness is to reach the maximum. A good theory that won't work Isn't half as good as a poor one that will. In the first place, the farmer must be given to understand that he is an Important factor In the upbuilding of Is home market town and that it is o less an important factor in his wel fare, not only by affording him tho best possible market facilities but tiko by Increasing the value of his holdings by reason of its proximity to his farm. You must make the farmer feel that he belongs to your town. Make It so attractive in every good way that he will enjoy coming regularly and look forward to his town trips more as pleasure than a bit of necessary drudgery. Suppose you disassociate yourself from your town long enough, If you an, to look at it from the farmer's point of view. If you were a farmer, would you use the town you are now In as a market town? Or would you prefer some competing town? Would you feel that you and your FREE FOR ALL RAGE FOR THE STATE CAPITAL A capital removal bill was intro duced in the senate by Buhrman of Hall, Bodlnson of Buffalo and Tibbets of Adams. The bill includes two prop ositions. The first submits the ques tion as to whether or not the capital is to be removed. The second is to determine the place where it is to be relocated if the measure should be come a law and be put to a vote of the people. The bill provides that the proposi tion be placed on the ballot at the next general election. Names of cities ihat are aspirants for the capital are to be placed below the first proposi tion. If no city gets a majority vote, then the two highest will compete at the following election. No division line is stated in the new measure. In order for a city to get Its name on the ballot, the petition must contain the names of 500 signers. John Ilatt, jr,, transacted business n the metropolis this morning, tak ing the first train for the city. The Blue Bell Emblem, the seal of the Associated Bell Telephone Company, stands for one of the great est business instrumentalities in the country a com prehensive association of affiliated companies co-operating to give universal communication over eleven mil lion miles of wire by means of five million telephones. The need of efficient and uni versal telephone service is exem plified by the rapid progress of the associated Bell companies. Ten years ago there were only 700,000 Bell Telephones in use, while today every Bell Telephone in connected with five million oth er telephones. Nebraska Telephone Company .V. E. Brantner, Local Manager 1HE HEEDS family were really welcome In a town that provided no rest room facilities for your wife and children that pro vided no decent facilities for the care of your team or automobile that was reached by poor roads and had worse streets that was not properly lighted, even on Saturday evenings that never gave any public enter tainment or amusement to Its patrons that was, in short, generally un progressive? And what would you think after you reached home and learned that competing towns had paid more for what you marketed than you had realized? You'd feel sore at the bunch of "robbers" down there at the village, who always try to get as much out of you as possible and give you as little in return as they can. That's Just what you'd think if you were in the average farmer's place, doing business in the average country lown. And if you were in his place, you'd probably buy as much from Searsbuck and Monty Ward as he does. Such conditions exist in thousands of communities in this section of the country. But there is no good reason why they should continue. Business men can, if they will, remedy these conditions and make their towns real market towns which will enjoy a maximum volume of trade. But they cannot accomplish this through individual effort. They must organize, unite upon a plan for the common good and then work to gether all the time. That is Just the way towns no bet ter situated than yours have been able to outstrip competing towns. If your town has any good reason what ever for exlstance, It can be made a real market town. The opportunity Is yours. Will you make the most of it? Was Called to Frlcnrt. William Barclay received a mes sage last night Informing him that his mother, Mrs. Joel Andrews, was in a critical condition at her home in Friend, Nebraska, and that little hope that she would survive the night was entertained by her physician. Mr. Barclay departed for his mother's bedside this morning on the first train. Warning to Railroad Men. Look out for severe and even dangerous kidney and bladder trouble resulting from years of rall- roadlnft. George E. Bell, 639 Third St., Fort Wayne, Ind., was many years a conductor on the Nickel Plate. He says: "Twenty years of railroading left my kidneys in ter rible condition. There was a con tinual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave me much dis tress, and the action of my bladder was frequent and most painful. I got a supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made a wonderful Im provement and four bottles cured me completely. Since being cured I have recommended Foley Kidney Pills to many of my railroad friends." For sale by Fricke & Co. BELL TELEPHONE SERVICE! WHAT IT MEANS The Nebraska Telephone Com pany has connection with 120,000 telephones in this state, including about 50,000 instruments of con necting companies. The average increase in the number of Bell Telephones in Ne braska is 600 a month, while more than 1,000 miles of wire is strung every thirty days. A Itecord-Ureaker, A srecial from Bartlett, Iowa, un der date of .March 1, says: New Year's Pride, a thoroughbred red pol led cow belonging to O. Chambers of Bartlett, was born January 1, 1903. One year after birth she weighed 940 pounds. Her first calf was born when its mother was 2 years old. A cair was born to New Year's Pride every year thereafter until March, 1910, when, one chilly morning, she gave birth to triplets, two of which lived. February 11, this year, a second set of triplets was born, which are all lively and well, making a total of six calves within eleven months. In each instance one heifer and two males were born.

A. L. linker. PLEASANT FARE WELL PARTY GOFIELD WINS CA5EJP cm Judge Archer Decides That the Interstate Commerce Law Protects Him. from Wednesday's Dally. Judge M. Archer handed down a decision this morning in the case tried yesterday, in which Mr. R. Cofield was defendant and the city of Plattsmouth the complaining witness, and the state the plaintiff. Mr. Cofield was arrested last wek for peddling, canvassing and selling goods, wares and merchandise, vie, earthenware and other goods, without obtaining a business license therefor. The case was continued over until yesterday by the accused giving a 1200 bond for his appearance. The defendant employed M. Gerlng to de fend him, and the city and Com mercial club were represented by B. S. Ramsey and A. I TIdd, respective ly. After hearing the evidence yes terday afternoon authorities were cited by the counsel for the respective parties, and the case taken under ad visement until 10 o'clock this morn ing. Upon convening the court this morning, and after due investigation of the law, Judge Archer decided that the defendant was not guilty as charged, and dismissed the complaint. The evidence disclosed that the de fendant, R. Cofield, had taken orders for earthenware for a manufacturing company located at Rosevllle, Ohio, The orders were taken during the month of January of this year, and later on the dates alleged In the complaint, Mr. Cofield returuned to Plattsmouth and delivered the goods ordered by the purchasers and col locted the money. Under the law as It has been de elded by the Nebraska Biipreme court In June, 1904, and by the United States courts prior thereto, Judge Archer holds that Mr. Cofield was en gaged In Interstate commerce and was not a hawker, nor peddler, and did rot sell goods in violation of the city business tax ordinance, as the city would be without power to pass an ordinance In conflict, with Inter state commerce. There is no doubt but the city has a valid business tax ordinance which will apply to cases not coming under the head of interstate commerce, but this case, in the opinion of the court, Is not one of them. It remains to be seen what will be the outcome of the civil suit and at tachment which was commenced yes terday. The summons was made re turnable on the 10th of March, but Mr. Gerlng, attorney for the company for which Mr. Cofield Is working, said that he would file a motion to dis charge the attachment, on the theory that since the company Is engaged In interstate commerce, the ordinance as It now stands would not warrant the holding of the company's money on the attachment. And that if there has been no violation of the ordinance sufflcent to warrant the arrest of the company's agent, then there could bo no ground on which the attachment will stand. Ordinance No. 480.

Rather than hold tlgh sessions the house members have agreed to begin their morning sessions at 9 o'clock and afternoon sessions at 1:30. Com mittee meetings will be held In the evenings and before 9 o'clock In the mornings. A Joint committee, consisting of Senators Albert, Tibbets and Placek and Representatives Quackenbush, Morlarlty and Grossmann, were lately selected by the democratic caucus to draft and push bills designed to keep the platform pledges of the majority party. The Benate has been passing a num ber of bills, but the house has been less fortunate. A few days ago, when the order of third reading was reached a couple of bills mot Buch in stant and brutal deaths that authors of other bills on the calendar rushed the body Into general file to save further murders. It is the unanimous Judgment of a Joint committee of both houses that the state university should be moved out of the city of Lincoln and located on the large tract of laud where the state agricultural colleges are situa ted. This land Is adequate In every way and already belongs to the state. There Is ample room for the buildings to be laid out conveniently and with a view to a beautiful campus. Street car service will make a difference of about twenty minutes between the present and proposed sites. By the Joint report the medical college will remain at Omaha. Senator Placek has been named as the chairman of a Joint committee to have charge of the bills and amend ments pertaining to redisricting the state Into congressional, Judicial, sen atorial and representative districts. This is a tremendous task, second only, perhaps, to that of the finance committees In reporting the appro priation bills. The democrats mean to pass an other "non-partisan Judiciary" bill. It Is provided In the last state platform that It will be done. It Is understood that Governor Aldrlch will not Inter pose objections, at least that he will not go bo far as to veto such a measure. It Is pointed out that he cannot consistently oppose such a measure In view of his manifest wil lingness to accept votes from all parties at his late election. Acting upon the suggestion of Governor Aldrlch, the special com mittees of the legislature havo been trying to get at the truth of the ac cusations made by tho chief executive of the state against the election offl- Our Advertisement in this space has brought satisfactory results, and why not?

While the com mittees were at Omaha work was 4 layed In both the house and senata and a big bill of expense piled nrx Other sessions are being held at to capital and witnesses are being hear4 from Omaha. Nothing startling has developed and no statement has been proven or denied. It Is thought probable that another appropriation will have to be made for the purpos of paying the unusual expenses in curred by the present session In the way of Investigations, contest hear ings and rent for committee rooms outside of the capital. Two matters of supremo import ance occupied the attention of the legislature during the past week; in the senate tho Ollls' stock yards bill has been the bone of contention, while the Hatfield bill for direct legislation, otherwise known as the Initiative and referendum, has been before tho house nearly all the week. The senate and hours bills on the lat ter subject differ only In details and It Is certain that the differences will be amicably settled and the law will be enacted withotu blood letting. The sentiment for Btock yards legislation has at all times been more friendly In the house than In the senate and the friends of the measure feel that the worst Is over. Omaha and Lincoln colored people are up In arms over a bill Introduced by McKIssIck of Gage and said to have been drawn by Chief Clerk Rich mond of the house, providing a line dividing the blacks and whites In street cars, railroad trains and theaters. Mr. Richmond Insists that the measure was not inspired by any radical prejudice and Is In no wise "Jim Crow" bill, as applied In south ern states. He says It grew out ef a demand In Omaha especially, where there are many Insolent negroes who abuse their privileges and are not content, as the better class of negroes are, to accept the common rights f citizens. Colonel Richmond declares it is not a democratic measure, and he Is not pushing It on party grounds. A Mother's Safeguard. Foley's Honey and Tar for the chil dren.
