Governor Neville and other democratic leaders of the Hitchcock brand are now encaged in playing the popular indoor game of "passing the buck." They have picked on congress as the "goat;" and are preparing to lay the blame on that ancient organiza tion, if any Nebraskan should be so unkind as to criticize any act of the present state administration, in so far as Tirohibition legislation is concerned. So concerned was the governor of Ntbraska Tuesday about the progress of dry legislation that he paid a quiet and highly official visit to the house of representatives. lie had sent telegrams Monday to Representative A. C. Shallenberger at Washington, asking for information regarding the probable fate ,of the Reed bone dry amendment to the fed eral postofllce bill, which would pro hibit liquor shipments into any dry state regardless of what laws a legis lature might pass. Would Wait on Congress. Congressman Shallenberger replied that the Reed amendment was almost ceitain to pass the house. Then the governor, quite unofficially, suggested that the Nebraska house just postpone action on the prohibition bill until ongress would have an opportunity o ret. Members of the house were not orry to accede to his wishes, al though the house in all probability, if a vote had been taken Tuesdav, wouM lave passed a ct.i.-tic bone dry 'aw. State administration supporters and advisers anil the governor himself ap parently sized up the situation and ar- ived at the conclusion that if a demo cratic legislature passed a bone dry aw the liberal voters of the state would be quite provoked, even to the point of retaliation at the next elec tion, and if a liberal law was passed. the radical drys would rise up and mite the administration. So the decision was reached by state administration advisers to let congress do it." IGNORANCE IS NO PLEA. Ignorance is no plea against the law, nor against the hygiene either. So often you hear, "I did not know it could hurt mv health!" That is the ery trouble. We feci an intense in terest in politics, we busy oflrselves in societies, but we pay little atten tion to our body. One of the funda mental principles is to keep the body free from waste matter in which bac teria breed and develop. Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is the most reliable of all remedies which aid in the elimination of waste matter. t cleans out the intestines and at the same time strengthens them. Consti pation, headache, negrim, nervousness, oss of appetite and energy, all such ailments vanish when the body is free from waste matter.

HOUSE AND SEN ATE PASS "BONE DRY" LAW Vote 321 to 72 on Bill That Makes Twenty-Two States Abso Lutclv Drv. Prohibits Transportation in the Mails of Liquor to An- Prohibition State. Washington, D. C, Feb. 21. Abso lute prohibition legislation took its longest forward stride in the nation's history today when the house, after two hours of uproarous debate, ap proved by a four to one majority a senate measure which would raise an ironclad barrier against importation of liquor into prohibition states. It is expected to receive the ap proval of President Wilson within a week, adding immediately to the "bone dry" territory about one-third of continental United States. It would cut off entirely liquor im portations amounting now to millions of dollars annually in the large num ber of state which have forbidden manufacture or sale, but have per mitted importation for personal use. PURCHASES FINE HOG. Henry Ilirz, sr., and son. Philip, were in attendance this week at the hog sale of R. C. Steel, held at his farm near Falls City, and while there Philip purchased a fine 373-pound gelt which he expects to use on his farm west of this city. The animal is one of the finest that was offered at the sale and Mr. Ilirz feels, will make a valuable addition to his splendid line of Duroc-Jersey swine that he has been breeding quite extensively in the past few years. Mr. Phil Ilirz has one of the best bunches of hogs in the county and his animals have all brought a good price when offered fori sale, both for weight and quality. EGGS FOR HATCHING.
