LITTLE INTEREST
Few, Members Reach Capital and
Those Who Are There Are Just
Enjoying Theinsehes.
Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 2'.). Beside the
organization activities of former leg
islatures the present session appears
like a church tea. There are few
members in the city and those who
are here are busier taking in the
movies than they are in mixing legis
lative political potions.
For the speakership of the house
the candidates, George Jackson of
Nelson, Charles Trumble of Hazard,
John Kcifenrath of Crofton are taking
it easy. The belief is that the matter
will be settled entirely without, the
least friction and without any show
of dissatisfaction among members.
The clerkship race is in the same
condition. George ' Potts of Dubois,
clerk of the 1915 house, has but one
opponent, John Jones of this city. Mr
Jones is not extraordinarily active
and may not even enter the caucus if
he finds that Potts' pledges number
higher than he expects them to now;
In the senate end the same apathy
is apparent. Phil Kohl is a candidate
for the presidency pro tern. John
Mattes of Nebraska City is being
boosted by his friends for the honor
Few members have pledged support
to any particular candidate. Others
may bob up at the last moment. Hut
as in the house the race here will be
settled in good spirit ami without
leaving any bitterness.
Republicans iJetween Two Fires.
The republicans are torn between
i conflicting emotions. Some of them
want very much to do away with the
"absurd" plan of holding minority
caucuses, as they call it. and a lot o
others believe that they should con
tinue no matter if the democratic en
emy bus such a formidable show
r.gainst them this session.
Of the prc-orgaiiixationists there
r.vo four candidates for the minority
leadership C. Petrus Peterson of thi "
city. Wiiliam L'orsey of 1Ioomingten,
a rir-t term man of much ability; the
Rev,. F. A. Reiner of Thedford and
Cror.in from O'Neill.
In the senate end the minority lead
ership may go to '"Tom" Lahners of
Relvidere. although Charles Sandall of
Y. k is said to l;e a seeker after the
ho:v. So lev is tin minority mem
bership in this year's senate that the
successful bidder foi" this place will
hacv to have only five votes besides
his own to win out.
Wcidd Limit Rills to I Te.
Tba efforts of (leorge Liggett of
Uiica to get a gentleman's agreement
between members limiting each one to
the introduction of five bills is ex
pected to do some good. Early ar
rivals for the session say that that
average would, be too high, although
much lower than the average for sev
eral : cssions past.
This effort and the parallel effort
to improve the quality of bills along
with decreasing quality will play an
important part in the session's activ
ities. The members assort that they
are willing to go the limit in this.
Their sincerity in the matter, think
the leaders, means that a real record
is to be made in this respect at the
coming session.
L. F. Langhorst, democratic state
chairman, is here for the organization.
He says ho has but one object in
view, that of helping the party an I
Governor Neville in their assumption
of state responsibilities early next
week.
Reduction of house committees
from thirty-four to twenty in number
with a membership of five for each
committee and with provision that no
member shall be upon more than one
committee, is the radical change be
ing urged upon early arrivals by W.

Milk in. Winter.
Why do jour cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature docs not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with B. A.
Thomas' Stock Remedy which con
tains the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in a more highly concen
trated form. We guarantee that this
remedy will make your cows give more
milk. ;ir.d better milk with the same
feed.

MAGNATES AND
MEN DISAGREE
Conference Discontinued When Repre
sentatives of Roads and Unions
Deadlocked.
New York, Dec. 28. Conferences
between representatives of the rail
roads and the four brotherhoods of
railway employes, at which were dis
cussed the possibilities of a settle
ment of the eight-hour controversy,
were discontinued abruptly today
when it became apparent an agree
ment could not be reached.
It was announced by both sides
that there would be no more meet
ings until after the United States su
preme court hands down its decision
on the constitutionality of the Adam
son act.
The break came when the railroad
representatives refused to concede
the demands of the brotherhood
chiefs for an agreement looking to
ward the enforcement of the new
wage schedule, fixed by the Adamson
law, which goes into effect January 1.
Contention cf Brotherhoods.
The brotherhood chiefs held that
their men had the right to begin
drawing wages according to the scale
provided by the Adamson law imme
diatelv after the law became effective,
irrespective of the suits brought by
the railroads to test its validity.
A statement issued by Elisha Lee,
chairman of the conference commit
tee of railway managers, declared:
"The railroads will await the de
cision of the supreme court in the
Adamson law test case. By agree
ment with the Department of Justice
at Washington the railways will keep
a record from January i of the wage
of the employes affected by the Adam
son law in order that if the law-
is
upheld by the court the employes wil
receive the extra back pay due them
The rights of the employers in the in
terval thus will be amply protected.
Not Party to Contract.
"Tne statement has been made in
the press that the conference commit
tee hail been aiding in preparing
bill to be supported by the railroads
and the employes alike and to be of
feved as a substitute for the legisla
ti'm moposcd bv the administration
o hold rtrikes in abeyance until afte
an investigation by a public body
The national conference committee
ha ; rot been a party to such a pro
gram."
The railroad managers held it wouk
be folly for tKeni, in view of th
award made last week by a board of
tirhit ration in the case of the Switch
men's union, to pay the oO.OOO switch
men who are nicmberf of the broth
crhoods at the rate ot ten hour s pay
for an eight-hour day when the a wart
grants on.lv nine hours' nay for eight
hours' work. The brotherhood lead
ers refused o be quoted after the
meeting.
Danger Signal.
If the fire bell should ring wouh!
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the lire? It is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as a lire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. It is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bat:
cold or an attack of the grin. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind.
writes: "During the winter my hus
band takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is the best medicine for breaking
up these attacks and yon cannot get
him lo take any other." Obtainable
everywhere.
Mrs. M. A. Street was among those
going to Omaha this morning to spend
a few hours with her granddaughter,
Miss Clara Mae Morgan at the
Methodist hospital in that city.
Mrs. M. K. Urantner and Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Chase and babe of

HONEST ABE DID NOT
TURN A DEAF EAR TO
SOUTHERN MOTHER
The appeal to the "great heart" by
a southern mother whose son is con
demned to die as a spy, is one of the
touching features of "The Birth of a
Nation" spectacle and characteristic,
too, of Lincoln's experiences of those
days. The Ford's theater scene, in
cluding the asassination of the presi
dent, is of particular value since the
reproduction of the interior of the
old playhouse, including the -scenic
setting which was on the stage at the
fatal moment, is as near exact as art
and money could make possible.
The part covering the leconstruc-,
tion period sets forth vividly Lincoln's
charitable policy toward the south,
also the many difficult problems aris
ing from the attempts of the white
and black races to dwell together on
politically equal terms.
Here it has been said some of the
features are overdrawn, but possibly
no more than necessity demanded to
convey accurately and quickly to the
people the impending dangers with
which the southern people were called
upon to cope. The necessity of eda
eating the negro, recently a slave, is
potently evident.
"Hail to the Chief," clarions the
orchestra an audience of men in glit
tering uniforms and women in hoop-
skit ts rises as one, a fierce, wild cheer
bursts forth, and the tall, - stooped
figure and the sad, rough face of the
piesident of a re-united nation ap
pears between heavy curtains. Abra
ham Lincoln has arrived at Ford's
theater! This is the tremendous scene
which is flashed every night in a lead
ing theater of most of the great
American cities, whore real audiences
feel tbemeslvcs actually face to face
with Abraham Lincoln, the martyred
president.
ihe most noble scene in moving
pictures" is a tribute paid to D. W.
(Jriffith's staging ofHhis remarkable
situation in his epoch-making produc
tion, "The Birth of a Nytion."
This is only one of the many won
derful visualizations in Griffith's ex
traordinary work, however, and this
enormous spectacle will be shown in
its entirety, and accompanied by a
sympahony orchestra, at the Parmele
theater, January 4th and 5th.
Cough Medicine for Children.
Mrs. Hugh Cook, Scottsville, N. Y.,
says: "About nve years ago wnen we
were living in Garbutt, N. Y., I doc
tored two of my children suffering
from colds with Chamberlain's Cough
iemedy and found it just as repre-
senter in every way. It promptly
checked their coughing and cured
their colds quicker than anything I
ever used." Obtainable everywhere.
