He stands high in the estimation of the bar of the state ;.s a jurist, and his decisions are often pointed to by lawyers as models of conciseness. It was said by some that he piobably came to Lincoln at the suggestion of the governor. H? was not at the Lincoln hotel where 1 e usually stops. Judge Sullivan, although rated us democrat, was at ere time ap jolnted by Governor George L. Shel don, a republican, lie accepted the appointment and was sworn into the r.Ticc.

From Friday's I Jail v. Snow plows stood in read mess for action all day yesterday. The heavy snow falling on a tield of old snow that covered the ground and had hardened, the tendency of the newly fallen Hakes to drift and the possi bility of a wind that would pile it in low places, made those in charge of train operation apprehensive. Lor weeks the roads have been pre pared to fight snow. It was the an imal pi'cpai ation made in this trouble x'-ne. The heavy fall of yesterday, rhown by Burlington reports to be j from eight to eighteen inches deeo, presaged troub.e. The weather man. however, was reassuring.' He said heavy wind.; need not be expected. Sargent reported a rather stiff wind blowing at t':Vl last evening, eighteen inches of snow, and conditions jut right for a leal tieup of traffic. The j Colorado end of the road reported less snow and les.-. wind. ; Pock Island reports from we.-dcrn Kansas and Colorado said much i less snow, about three inches of the newer fall. Reports from northern Nebraska . ho wed a heavy snow with light wind. ' im tlip viflnit rif f inTi'n mi l (1viVii lailioad reports showed from eight t" twelve inches of new snow. During the afternoon and evening I - t c? trains were the rule, although a few of the local ri,ns on main lins made tlie time. The delays, however, v.ere r.ot serious, running1 from ten minutes to an houi The snow was li'lit and while drifts of some depih l ad formed in many cuts they were easily cut through. The later diift bitr, however, after the snow had been rolled for lon distances alonfr the Mirface of the older coveiintr and piled into cuts, was what was feared. At 1 o'clock a. m. the IJurlinton reported no railroad lines blocked and no sei ious trouble from drifts any-whci-e west of the river. Lincolr Htate Journal. THE CUSS COUNTY BAR DEEPLY REGRET DEATH OF JOOE HQLLENBECK From FrMuy'ji Iuily. The death of Chief Justicj Conrad Ilollenbeck of the state supreme eourt was learned of with the greatest of regret by the members of the Cass county bar, many of whom knew the enminent jurist real well during his Ion; residence m Fremont, where he had been district judpre since lb'J.'j. The justice had been in very poor health for the past year, and at the last democratic state convention his apparent feebleness was noticed among: the delejrates, and many e j resred their surprise at his enterim: t lie campaign. Judge Hol!enlcck's death comes just at the time he had realised one of the ambitions of his life, that of sitting on the supreme court of his state, and it also de- p ives the people of the state of tin rcntlits of his splendid judicial train ing on the bench. The Idling: of the vacancy on the bench will be awaited with interest by the attorneys throughout the state. Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy. This remedy has no superior for coughs and colds.

AD NESS B SUFFRAGEOPPOSEO By BISHOP TUTTLE Dean of AH the Episcopal Bishops in the United States Is a Gentleman Who Says What He Thinks. From SaturtlaVs UaPv. A special to the St. Louis Globe Democrat, under date of January 1?, fi-om San Antonio, Texas, says: Bishop Daniel Sylvester Tuttle of St. Louis, in an interview heie today, declared against prohibition anel equal suffrage, and said the war in Europe was not the result of lack of religion. Lisbon Tuttle is in San Antonio to lend the second annual synod of the Episcopal Province ef the Southwest, which convenes here for three days, beginning tomorrow morning. He assailed prohibition as an un-American theory, lacking in moral argu ment. "God put evils into the world," he said, "and man must choose for him self the thing he should do. It is ail right for a man to drink, but not for him to get drunk. God could have neated the world and placeel mankind here without evil influences. Put he did not do this, and it is not right for majority of people in the country to take the evil away. I believe every community should regulate its own problems in its own way. For thai reason I am opposed to state pro hibition. '"I can see why it is demanded in the business world for men to be re fused employment if they drink. Loco motive engineers, bookkeepers and others cannot do their duty when their biair.s are muddled by liipuo-. Put that is a business argument, not a moral argument." Despite the bishop's opposition to the . principle of woman suffrage, he believes that the cause will win in the United States within the next few jears. "It is not fair to women to give them the ballot." he said. Already women are iloin? more than half of the worl i's work. They monopolize the activities in the home, in the ci'ii'vh. the school and in many phase..; of business life. (Jiving them the i allot is only adding to their bur dens. "It is said by supporters of ti e cause that suffraire would eliminate many of the social evils. That re mains to be seen. Many of the wom en who would vote ai-e degi-aded wr en who could be easily influenced by prejudice and money, and it seems to me there would be merely an additin i to the corrupt vote. The better type of voter in this country among tke men is negligent in his political duties now. I do not think the result wouid be materially different after women obtain the ballot, as they will within the next few years." Commenting on the war, 15 i shop Tuttle said: "Patriotism is leligion. In war. when the state demands young men to firht it is their Christian duty to fght. So. instead of saying that the war is tne result of lack of religion, cr.e should say that eluty to the Pag and ccHintry is religion. Russia France, England, Germany, Austria- Hungary and Pelgium have responded splendidly. "It is a mistake for persons to sup pose that the church is the only divine institution." Pishop Tuttle said. "The minister of civil government is a min ister of God. The family, the state and the church are divine institutio' s put here. All of them are sacred." Bishop Tuttle said that while America would profit in a business way in certain respects as a result of the European war, it would lose much more than would be gained. He as serted that already there has develop ed a hopeless attitude on the part of many business men, with the result lesi improvement work is being don. I-'ewer business ventures are being made, he said, and numerous em ployes have been thrown out of em ployment. However, he is optimistic regarding the futui-e of business in the United States and believes tha; there will be a gradual stimulation of business . as soon as the nation'.; psychological fear is ended.

Has Quite a Painful Fall. From Saturday's Daily. This morning Claus Boetel, the veteran express man, came down town and his appearance excited a great deal of curiosity among his friends, as his nose was deprived of the greater part of the cuticle and look ed as though our old friend had been cut on the battle line, but he ex plained the matter by stating that last evening as he entered the barn to feed his horses, after dusk, he trip ped and fell and struck the edge of the manger, which being harder than the nose, refused to yield, and as a consequence the nose had to suffer. BIG SONG RITS WITH CUKE'S ii Never Before Has the People of This City Seen Such Entertainments at Popular Prices. Arthur damage and his big musi cal comedy company, presenting "His Highness the Bey." "The Pink Widow" and "The Girl From Luxem-bui-g," will open a three days' en gagement at the Parmele theater, commencing Thursday night, January U8. It is saitl to be an attraction sj meritorious that its coming is seven times as important as the ordinary announcement. Every advance report waxes enthusiastic as regards to merits of the performance. The managers are telegraphing ahead, the traveling men are scattering the good news, the newspapers convey the in teresting information and every traveler by word of mouth becomes an advancea gent of this splendid show. Arthur damage, owner shows ,has engaged a cast pensive that his associates line of business are puzzled. of tiu so ex in th Hs h; engaged such a splendid cast an I :uch a remarkable chorus that thos who endeavor to compete with hir- are at a loss what to do. He has or ganized a company that gives satis faction supreme, pieasureable eieligh that theater-goers never elreamed c ;t the prices of admission asked. Everything that makes an evenin enjoyable is found in these produ'. lions. Comedians that bring laugh unequaled for heartiness, specialtic that represent the choicest vaudevill and a chorus that stands alone fo its charm and ability combine to mak this offering far superior to thos which precede it. It is the bigges treat of the season guaranteed to stand in a position that commen itself to every theater-goer as th; very "front rank." The prices will i.ot be advanced during this engage ment of this clever company. The superior nature of the attraction hr not led to an advance in the. scale of admission. It is, therefore, a re-il bargain in entertainment. GREAT DEMAND FOR THE RESTORATION OF BURUG- TON TRAINS NOS. 1 AND 10 From Saturday's Dally. r rom dispatches H orn lmcoln in the state papers it would seem th there is considerable agitation from the towns west of Lincoln over th restoration of Burlington trains Nos. J and 10, or the providing of some equally convenient substitute fo. them. The traveling men on the road out of Lincoln seem to be the chief sufferers from the taking off of these trains and they claim that it works a great hardship on them in getting to and from the capital city. The matte- has been brought to the attention of the state railway commission and that body will endeavor to secure some re lief from the situation for the resi dents of the towns complaining. The officials of the passenger department do not seem, from the tone of the dis patches, to favor the proposition o: putting on the service asked for. There was much agitation here at dif ferent times during the past two years to secure a stop here of No. I prior to its removal from the scheelule to the running time of No. 9, but U was without result, as the officials did not think the returns would war rant the change, although a com promise was made whereby the train made stops to let off passengers from east of the Mississippi river. This was in effect only a short time when the train was taken off. List your Farms and City Property with T. II. Pollock.
