Frank Bender, 1311 South Eleventh street, this city, was restored to memory here yester day, after a lapse of nineteen years, by an operation on the brain. xsmeteen years ago Bender fell against a stove and fractured his skull. Since then he has acted strangely and for a time disappeared from his home, awakaning only to find himself in a strange city. His family had conducted a nation-wide search for him. Two physicians last week operated upon Bender's sky.ll. Yesterday at the hospital he told all about his child hood, which up until the time of the operation had been a blank. Bender's eyesight had also been impaired by the accident, but now he is able to read with comfort. Last September Bender disappeared from his home in Lincoln for a few days and was later found by the Oma ha police wandering about that city. FIRE AT COLUMBIAN SCHOOL BUILDING THIS MORNING This morning shortly before 7 o'clock the residents of the city were startled by the notes of the fire whis tle, which aroused a great many from their slumbers to discover that the alarm was turned in from the Colum bian school, but fortunately the dam age did to the building was slight and the prompt work of those residing in that vicinity succeeded in getting the flames out in a short time. The fire was caused, it is thought, by a spark from the chimney alighting on the roof and causing the blaze to burst forth. It was very fortunate for the city that the blaze was discovered when it was before serious damage was done to the building. Fred Kaffenberger Returns. Last evening Fred Kaffenberger came nome irom Umana. where he has been for the last week taking treatment at one of the hospitals for an affliction of the Hit oat which has been giving him a great deal of trouble of late, and he will remain at home for a short time resting pre paratory to having an operation per URGING HASTE ON PREPAREDNESS House Committee Inclined to Comply, But Not Along Lines of Sec retary Garrison's Conti nental Army. .Washington, Feb. 9. With Presi dent Wilson urging both democratic and republican members of the house military committee to hasten prepara tion of bills to carry out the army's part in the national preparedness scheme, indications tonight were that the measure might be ready for the house within two weeks. Hearings will ocme to a close tomorrow or next day, and it is understood the main features of the bills already have been whipped into the shape in which it is expected they will receive virtually the unani mous approval of the committee. The senate committee already has con cluded its hearings on army bills and will take up the work of drafting its proposals for the senate early next week. The bills of the two houses, it is ex pected, will differ radically and the final legislation will be worked out as a compromise in conference. Progress on Navy Legislation. Progress was made today on navy legislation, the measures paving the way for construction of battleships 43 and 44 at navy yards and providing for 300 additional mUshipmen in the July class at Annapolis, being passed by the senate. They passed the house today and lack only the president's signature to become law. Speaker Clark, in line with' his recent speech in the house advocating that the per sonnel at both Annapolis and West Point be doubled, introduced a bill to make such an increase in the number of cadets at the military academy. Chairman Hay of the house military committee and several of his demo cratic colleagues discussed army plans with President Wilson during the day at the president's suggestion. Tomorrow Representative Kahn, the ranking republican member, with others of the minority, will go to the White house on the' same errand. It was evident in later proceedings of the committee that Representative Hay had not been swayed from his op position to Secretary Garrison's pro posal for a continental army, which the president advocated during his re cent preparedness campaign trip to the middle west. A witness before the committee said ho was opposed to the continental plan. "So am I," Mr. Hay interjected. "We all are." Bill to Be Written Quickly. Democrats and republicans of the I committee agreed tonight in saying that an army bill would be written quickly, although there might be minor details which would take con siderable debate to settle. The feature of the house bill, it was said, would be federalization of the national guard through a pay bill carrying limitations designed to give the war department peace time control of training and of ficering of the national guard. Adjutant General Foster, of the Florida national guard, chairman of the executive committee of the Na tional Guard association, again was in Washington tonight, and it was under- How's This? m We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for an) rase of Catarrh tbat caunut b cured by Ua.111 Satarrh Cure.

Coupled with the pay feature of the bill probably will be Chairman Hay's plan to authorize the president to draft national guardsmen into the fed eral service Immediately in time of war. This is designed to settle any conflict of authority which might arise and also to insure that the whole mem bership of the guatd will be available for federal uses, the number not being dependent, as now, upon how many volunteer. Divided on Proposals. For the regular army the bill prob ably will provide the 40,000 additional men asked for by Secretary Garrison, although the committee is said to be about equally divided on the Hay and Garrison plans for making the in- creases. Kepresentative Hay proposes to fill existing regiments up to full war strength and increase only the number of artillery regiments; while Secretary Garrison has asked for ad ditional skeleton remnants of in fantry and artillery to make up tac tical divisions. An element of the committee favors continuance of the practice of govern ment manufacture of army munitions and on this aspect of the plans the committee will face a struggle within its own ranks. Some members believe those favoring the war department's attitude of providing work enough for private plants to insure a big wartime production capacity have votes enough to secure this end in the bill. The house naval committee con tinued its struggle today over details of navy personnel problems with Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of navigation still on the stand. Admiral Blue presented the department's pro posals for a redrafting of the naval re serve law, worked out in elaborate de tail, and the subject was under debate all day. Mrs. E. S. Setz Sick. Mrs. E. S. Setz has been confined to her home for the past week with a severe attack of la grippe.

A petition has been circulated by a number of those interested in the coasting on High School Hill for per mission to allow the coasters to slide on any night of the wee k, and as a re sult all of the property owners along the route of the coasters signed the petition and there does not seem to be any serious opposition to the use of the High School Hill rnd Main street in the evening for coasting, although those who coast are expected to see that the intersections are guarded so as to prevent accidents from teams crossing the streets while the sleds are coming down the hill and to pre vent the coasters frcm taking too great chances in their sport, and if this is looked after properly every thing seems to give promise of being lovely and satisfactory to everyone.

White was held yesterday after noon from the late heme on Lincoln avenue and was attended by a large number of the friends and neighbors of the deceased lady p.nd members of the Woodman Circle, of which she was a member.

Egg?nberger of the Plattsmouth High school, who was in jured a few days ago by falling on the sidewalk near his residence, seems to have injured himself more severely than was at first suposed and his ac cident has brought on what seems to be a case of appendicitis, as the strain is supposed to have led to this com plication. It is not known just what will be necessary in the case until af ter a thorough examination of the in jured man is made at the hospital. Cook with Gas the best and cheap est at all times.
