PROHIBITION
MATTERS BEFORE
BOTH HOUSES
Indications Are That Understanding
cf Prohibitory Amendment
Varies.
Stnate Votes to Memorialize Congress
on Granting Liquor Tax
Stamps,
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. Jo. Prohibition
matters of greater or less impor
tance, significant in o far as they
give inkling of what may be expected
in the future, were before the house
and senate last night and today.
In both houses they indicate a
mixed or confused conception of the
meaning of the prohibitory amend
ment adopted last fall by the voters
of the state, and they also indicate
that in the last analysis both houses
will solve their own difficulties with
out any considerable amount of out
side suggestion, save from Governor
Neville.
That is the belief of any number of
dry representatives and senators, and
a number of those members, too, who
previous to the November election
were opposed to the amendment.
Last night's development was a
public hearing on prohibition. To
day's development was the passage by
the senate of the Beal resolution call
ing upon the federal government to
do away with the liquor tax certifi
cates, sorr.etims fallaciously known as
"licenses" in those states that are dry.
By a vote of 19 to 13, the senate
decided to memorialize congress in the
matter of grant of liquor tax certi
lcates. Charges and insinuation were ban
died about, but the only thing the
thirteen orators agreed upon, who
spoke, was that they were in favor of
a drv" law in Nebraska
Some charged that the vote on the
resolution would forecast the vote on
the drv amendment. Some took fif
teen minutes to tell how the senate
was wasting time on trivalities.
In the faction in favor of the reso
luticn, part of the speakers said i
was necessary so that the government
would not interfere with the enforce
ment of the "dry" law in the state
Others wanted it so that the govern
ment would help the state in law en-
'cement.
This is how they voted:
For
Bel, Lahners,
Bushee, McAllister,
Chappell, Mullen,
Dcuthett Neal,
Doty, O'oerlies,
Gates, Robertson,
Haase, Sandall.
Hager, Sawyer,
Hammond, Spirk,

Adams,
Albert,
Bennett,
Euhrman,
Kenry
KoH,
Mattes.
Moriarty,
Samuelson,
Soost,
Strehlow,
Tanner,
Willis Wilson,
Senator Wallace Wilson was not
present.
The republicans, ten in number
voted solidly, "yes."
Moriarty of Douglas declared that
the "licence" was only a tax, and
failure to pay only resulted in a civil
action. Mattes of Otoe went a step
further and called mcmoralizing "a
harmless and pleasant pastime," un
less it was carried too far, as the sen
ate was doing. Removing this tax,
lie pointed out, was removing the best
tource of information on bootlegging.
Senator McMulIen of Gaze rcmarl
ed that most resolutions were a waste
of time, but this one was necessary.
Senator Albert characterized the reso
lution as an attempt to compel action
nn a smnli iTiiiateral nnpstinn of a my
issue. It is presumptious, he said,
for the legislature to petition con
gressj which is itself responsible to
its constituents. He pointed to dan
ger in allowing the government to dip
its ringer in the state's enforcement
of the dry law.
"Chappel and Hager, democrats,
said if the licenses were denied the
government would co-operate with
the htatc in searching for bootleggers.
"Why would that be, when there
would be no federal tax in dry
state?" asked Mattes and Moriarly.
Other speakers were McAllister, Lah
ners, Howells and Sawyer.
If the people of any county in Ne
braska want to elect somebody to the
office of county judge who is not a
regular practicing attorney, then it is
their own business, and the lower
Louse of the legislature, composed
largely of farmers, is determined
that they will have that privilege.

His Back Hurt
When He Stooped
"Just the one box of Fols." Kidney Pill r
lirved my backache. J. V. Etris, Etrti, Ga.
"Last year I was suffering with a
terrible backache." 'writes J. TV. Etris
of Ktris, Ga. "Every time I'd lean
or stoop over or to one side, I'd hava
a painful catch in my 'oack just over
my kidneys. I tried medicines with
no grood results. I bought a bottle of
Foley Kidney I'ills. unJ just the on
box entirely relieved my backache.
It has been some time sirrc 1 took

counties of less than 5,000 popula
tion, was slaughtered in committee
of the whole Tuesday morning.
Among those joining in the attack
upon it were three of the house law
yers, Peterson, Fults and McAllister.
The farmers were Unanimously
against it.
Even an amendment raising the
population exemption to 10,000 failed j
to bring the bill any support. Num
rous members told of county judges
they knew who have never been ad
mitted to the bar, but are giving ef
ficient service much better service,
they declared, than the people would
get from some old attorney in his dot
age or a young law student just out
of college.
Opposition to the practice of some
public oilicials in putting their own
relatives on the public payroll was
expressed in the sending of the How
a jd anti-nepotism bill to third reading.
It was first amended so as to specify
relatives by blood or marriage to the
first, second and third degrees.
Peterson said some provision of
this kind would be necessary, else an
officer might unwittingly violate the
law by hiring someone whose ancestry, i
"if traced back to the Mayflower,"
would show a distant relations-hip to
himself.

Different Kinds of Coughs.
Colds lead to different kinds of
coughs "dry cough," "winter couh,"

asthmatic cough, and racking, painful
cough to raise choking phlegm. Enos

me, curing my cough entirely." Sold

Worth Attention of Women.
When you feel too tired to work,
wake up weary, have backache or
pains in sides, when you suffer rheu

CLAir.i FOR $1,000
FOR BOARD ALLOWED
BY JUDGE BEESON
County Judge A. J. Beeson, who has
had the matter of the claim of Mrs.
Mollie Berger against the estate of
Robert Kirkpatrich, deceased, under
advisement for some time, has handed
down a decisiop in the matter, allow
ing the plaintiff, the sum of $1,000 for
board for the deceased from Novem
ber 1912 to February 1916. The orig
inal claim was for the sum of $1,576.
50 for board as well as services in
nursing and caring for the deceased.
The court finds in its ruling that the
claimant, Mrs. Berger, is entitled to
the sum of $6 per week for board for
the deceased for the period of time
set forth and which totals $1,000. Mr.
Kirkpatrick at the time of his death
was the owner of an eighty-acre farm
near Nehawka, and had for a number
of years resided at the Berger home
up to the time of his last sickness,
when he was taken to a hospital in
Omaha, where he died. The case has
been one that attracted much atten
tion in the vicinity of Nehawka, and
at the trial held in the county court a
large number of witnesses were sum
moned on both sides of the case.
SETTLES UP CLAIM PROMPTLY.
Mrs. J. II. Kuhns of this city has
received from the supreme council of
the Royal Arcanum a check for $3,000,
being the amount due on the policy
carried in that order by her late hus-
! band. The local council of this order
; It t 1 "ll J 1 A
pieaseu witn me prompt man-
ncr in which this claim was handled
as they were delayed somewhat in
getting the proofs to the head council,
but it was handled very promptly
there and the draft sent to the local
officers for payment to the beneficiary.
AN EXAMPLE OF
INDUSTRY AT THE AGE
OF EIGHTY-TWO YEARS
George W. Worley. who is now S'2
years cf age, is a good example of in
dustry. He planted his piece of ground
to corn last season, doing most of the
woik himself, and raised some of the
finest corn in this section. He was
not satisfied to sell the corn, but fed
it into hogs and chickens, and surely
has a fine bunch. Aside from this he
is busy keeping his place in fine trim.
IMr. Worley is always busy and we
were greatly pleased when he called
upon us the first of the week, when
he related his fine success at his little
place thjs year, for we know he gets
the best out of life. Elmwood Echo.
SUFFERING FROM GRIPPE.
Hiilard Grassman is on the sick list
today, suffering from an attack of the
grippe, with which he has been threat
ened for the last few days. His con
dition is not thought to be serious
but the attack has been such as to
make it necessary for him to take an
enforced layoff.
DOESN'T SOUND CRAZY.
Prof. Emil Reichfelt of Chicago,
author of "The Pessimist' Cate
chism," which started all the trouble,
entered suit for divorce from his wife,
Mrs. Johanna Tyre Reichfelt and cus
tody of their two children.
Here are some of the questions and
answers from the book, which caused
his wife to declare he was of "un
sound mind."
What is creation ? An accident.
What is life? A bore. ,
What is man? A fraud.
What is woman? Both a fraud and
a bore.
What is love? A fever that ends
with a chill.
What is marriage? A temporary
embarrassment.
What is a wife? An expensive lux
ury.
What is a mother-in-law? A pun
ishment for our sins.
What is virtue, A myth.
What to Do For Bad Colds.
If you want a cought medicine that
gives quick and sure action in healing
colds, coughs or croup, get Foley's
Honey and Tar. It heals inflamed
membranes in throat, chest or bron
chial tubes; breaks up tight coughs,
