JAP WARSHIP TO
TRANSPORT BODY OF
GUTHRIE TO AMERICA
Tokio, March 14. As a special
mark of honor to the late George W.
Guthrie, American ambassador to
Japan, the emperor is expected to de
tail a Japenese warship to transport
the body to the United States. The
ol'icial advisement designating the
var;hip is anticipated with great in
terest, because broadly interpreted it
will be a special manifestation of
friendship for the American nation,
especially as Japanese warships are
at present occupied in patrol duty in
the Pacific and Indian oceans.
GOVERNMENT SEEK
ING MEN FOR VARIOUS
KINDS OF POSITIONS
Uncle Sam in his efforts to place
the country in a position for defense
and preparedness is seeking men for
employment in the government mili
tary arsenals and navy yards to hasten
the work of equipping the plants with
a full working force. The United
States government has just mailed to
the postofTiee in this city the adver
tising for the proposition. The wages
offered range from $2.50 to $5.00
per day according to the different
classes of skilled and unskilled labor
and covers all classes of blacksmith,
machinist and boilermakers as well
as rivet heaters and other lines of
structural steel work. The positions
offered are in all parts of the country
where the government has manufac
turing plants or navy yards. The
opportunity offered is open to every
one and no educational qualifications
are required beyond the necessary
knowledge of the trade in which the
men are engaged. The advertising
matter forjthe positions is on display
at the postoffice where it can be
viewed by those who might desire to
engage in the work for the govern
ment. STOMACH TROUBLES.
Stomach troubles are a serious mat
ter. A medical writer says: "Stom
achs are like automobiles; so much de
pends on how they are run. Both have
speed limits which cannot be violated
with impunity. Shipwrecked stomachs
are usually due to faults of their own
ers. Triner's American Elixir of Bit
ter Wine is the best repairer. It
cleans out the bowels and reinforces
the whole digestive system. If you
suffer from indigestion, constipation,
headache, nervousness, loss of energy,
etc., take Triner's American Elixir of
Bitter Wine, which does not cause a
momentary relief and a bad reaction,
like the alcoholic "bitters," but which
has lasting effects of relief, being pre
pared from medical bitter herbs which
to the cleaning, and strong, pure nat
ural red wine, which invigorates. Price
$1.00, at drug stores. Triner's Lini
ment must not be confounded with
other similar preparations either. It
is much stronger and comparatively
better. It gives relief in rheumatism,
neuralgia, accidents, sprains, swel
lings, stiff neck. By rubbing the mus
cles or the feet after hard work or
fatiguing walk, you will be exceeding
ly refreshed. Price 25c and 50c at
drug stores; by mail, 35c and 60c. Jos.

GERMAN RE
TREAT ON THE
SOMME SEEN
Universal Withdrawal of German
Forces Along Western Front.
Paris Predicts Early Evacuation
Bapaume and Peronne by the
Teutons.
of
Paris, March 14. Great import
ance is attached by I reneh military
writers to the continued imtixn sue-
cesses on the Somme. The Martin
says that it looks very much as if the
Germans do not think they could
hold Bapaume and Peronne any long
er and are preparing to evacuate the
two cities. Reports from aviators
show that all along thei rinner lines
the Germans are blowing up bridges
and culverts, burning munitions and
provisions while trying to mask tho
withdrawal of heavy guns by heavy
firing with field guns.
German staff headquarters on the
Somme front is said to have been
moved back ten miles. The Martin
thinks that the German staff at first
planned a strategic retreat so as to
delay and upset the British plan of at
tack but that this scheme was frus
trated by the tactics of General
Gough. Instead of using cavalry
against his retreating foe, General
Gough maintained contact by the me
thodical and distinctive use of artil-
ery. The result, according to the
Martin was that the Germans were
aught in their own trap and their
retreat, which was at first intentional
became almost a rout under the con
tinuous pressure of an adverstary
superior in material and initiative.
General Gough, who is mentioned
in the Paris newspapers as the field
commander in the British operations
against Bapaume, is presumably
Major General Hubert de La Poer
Gough, commander of the Third cav
alry brigade. General Gough is an
Irishman and prior to the war then
a colonel, received prominence as
one of the Officers who threatened to
resign if British troop were ordered
to force Ulster into acceptance of
home rule. In the early days of the
war he was praised by Field Marshal
French for his conduct in the fight
ing following the battle of the Marne
and was promoted to be major gen
eral in November, 1914.
Learn Advantages of the Silos.
Every farmer who is seriously con
sidering the erection of a Silo in the
spring or next summer for fall fod
der, should investigate the advanta
ges of the Tile Silo. Thousands are
in use and those who have had an op
portunity to make a close comparison,
feel very much inclined to favor tho
tile silo over any other manufacture 1.
They are warranted for five years,
yet many have been in use for much
longer period, and are as good as
when they were first erected. You
are invited to correspond with the
American Silo Co., 201 Traders
Buliding, Kansas City, Mo., for par
ticulars. They want farm agents.
They are also selling agents for the

SIFTING COM
MITTEE WARFARE
IS AVERTED
House Decides to Name Members I)c
cided Upon at Party Caucuses.
Lincoln, Neb., March 11. A rclap-e
(f sentiment today for peacc-fu! ,-;et-t!c,rnent
of si. comniUcv troubles
in the house thseatened !";v a time- to
destroy the equanimity of that body,
but announcement made at adjourn
ment time indicated that the very
guarded warfare of the republican mi
nority was not to accomplish its end.
The last decision was to ask that
the members be named as decide !
upon last night at majority and mi
nority party caucuses, that is tluse
members:
First District Todd of Cass and
Peterson of Lancaster.
Second District Craddock and Hop
kins of Douglas and Miller of Wash
ington. Third District Reifenrath of Knok
and Ragan of Platte and Net-bit of
Burt.
Fourth District Meysenburg of
Butler and Axtc-il of Jefferson.
Fifth District Jackson of Nuckolls
and Stuhr of Hall.
Sixth Distric t Tncobsen of Dawson
and Fries of Howaid and Bates of
Cheyenne.
The only point of difference today
was over the acceptance of Peterson of
Lancaster. The democrats insisted
on committees as named at organiza
tion time should be on their commit
tee and the committee on commit
tees, therefore, acting on intructicns
from the democratis caucus, wanted
to refrain from putting Mr. Peterson
on because he had occupied such a po
sition on the republican end of the
committee on committees.
At a meeting of the committee on
committees tonight it was decided to
accept the entire program, with the
exception of Peterson, for tiie reasons
mentioned herein. It is possible, and
probable, that Flansburg of Lancaster
will supplant him.
Settled by Agreement.
The affair was settled by mutual
agreement and by retirement of Tay
lor and Norton from what they
thought had been their instructions
at the commencement of the session.
Adhering closely to party lines, the
senate voted to put the general file,
beginning with the hour of the vote,
in the hands of the majority sift in
committee.
This committee, as proposed in a
motion made by Caucus Chairman
Henry Tuesday morning, is made up
of Mattes of Otoe, chairman, and Ben
nett, Kohl, Samuelson, Adams, Spirk
and Bushee.
McMullen of Gage, republican, pro
posed as a substitute motion Tuesday
that another committee have charge
of the file beginning Thursday. He
charged that the minority was not
consulted in the appointment cf!" the
democratic committee.
Such lack of discord arose that it
was voted to postpone action until to
morrow, in an effort to effect a better
understanding.
The understanding apparently came
to naught, for when the test vote came
on McMuIlcn's substitute motion, it
was voted down, 21 to 11.
Proposes Extension.
As the last straw,' McMullen of Gage
proposed an amendment to the original
motion to extend the time before the
committee got the general file until
Thursday morning, the committee of
the whole meanwhile to spend Wed
nes on the general file. This was de
feated. After refusing to reverse the finance
committee on the indefinite postpone
ment of a bill appropriating $14,000 to
buy additional land at the Kearney
tubercular hospital, the house turned
right around Wednesday and voted to

A similar law was passed in ll.r, but
was subsequently knocked out by the

unconstitutional features contained in
it. An amendment reducing the fee
