ever has not changed his political
affiliations and is still a republican
but his great ability in the settle

the people of his district led to his

of the best governors that the. state

will ever have as some of the most
progressive legislation enacted in

RECORDS OPEN TO PUBLIC.
From Friday's I"aily.
Governor MeKelvie has further
cleared up the charge that he has
made a rule for the government of
secretaries of departments under the
code bill that will result in the de
lay or suppression of news in regard
to the conduct of public business.
The following statement signed by
the governor has been sent to sec
rearies of his departments:
"Some question seems to exist re
garding the giving out of news for
publication by the departments, bur
eaus and divisions operating under
the civil administrative code. In or
der that the matter may be clearly
understood. I have to suggest that:
"Secretaries should assume re

PRESIDENT DECLARED
TO BE LITTLE BETTER
Washington, D. C, Sept. 29.
After a day of rest President Wilson
was described as "slightly better,"
in an official bulletin issued tonight
by Dr. Gary Grayson.
The buletin which recorded the
lirs change to be officially noted
in Mr. Wilson's condition since he
was taken ill last Friday, did not
give details. It was issued at 10
o'clock tonight and was as follows.
"Thq president is slightly better.
(Signed)
GRAYSON."
After another troubled night he
slept from early morning until
toward noon and in the afternoon
was taken for an hour's automobile
ride.
So thorough will be the effort to
prevent him from doing any work
that he will "not be permitted, for
the present, to see any of the sen
ate leaders in charge of the fight
for ratification of the peace treaty.
White house officials believe it es
sential that this subject, which has
occupied such a large place in the
president's mind, be put entirely
aside.
The visit of King Albert and
Queen Elizabeth of Belgium to the
White house also will be postponed.

In this delegation were McKenzie
of Illinois, Swope, Kinchelce, Lang
ley, of Kentucky, Tincher and
Strong of Kansas, Hicks and Foster
of New York, Knptsen, of Minne
sota, Belson of Wisconsin and oth
ers. McKenzie urged his plan of re
funding to soldiers and sailors the
$15 per month collected from them
for the care of their dependents, and
to pay them in addition $15 per
month of service exclusive of the
first two months to equalize the de
preciation in the value of the dol
lar. "I don't believo the boys are ask
ing for gifts or presents," he said,
"and they should be dealt with fair
ly and in justice. Their depend
ents were the charge justly of this
government and they shoujd not
have been forced to make 'the pay
ment of $15 per month for this pur
pose with the government contribut
ing a like amount."

Heavy Rainfall of Last Night Over
This Section of State Causes Dam
age to the Bridges in Country.
The eastern portion of Cass coun
ty was visited by a very heavy storm
last evening, commencing at 7:30
nnd continuing without little let up
until near 10 o'clock when the rain
took a lay off. The very heavy rain
of Saturday had made the gronud in
such condition that the added rain
fall was not absorbed by the soil
and as , a consequence a great deal
of surface water was turned loose.
In this city a few minutes after the
rain commenced to fall the water
was flowing over the main street of
the citv and in a very short time
was alnfost knee deep in the center
of the street. A number of auto
mobiles as well as the car of G. W.
Olson,' the accomodating mail car
rier, served to ferry the persons de
siring to cross from one side of the
street to hie other and did a good
business while the storm was rag
ing.
Out in the country district? was
where the storm did the most dam
age as a number of the smaller
bridges over "the Four Mile creek
were carried out by the heavy vol
ume of -water that flowed through
that watercourse and the creek was
out and over the banks along almost
its entire length. The larger bridges
stood the test or the flood however
and permitted the farmers to get
through although a number of them
were compelled to drive a long way
out of their road in order to get

the special and continuing order of

Thediscussion embraced about

ground from Omaha to Persia, and
We President Marhall's predic-'on
that the senate, once it took up the
amendments, would discuss every
thing else under the sun, was
abundantly, fulfilled.
The discussion centered about
speeches by Senator Borah, republi
can of Idaho and Senator Williams
democrat of Mississippi, both of
whom digressed to touch upon re
cent evidences of mob rule.
Answering ' Senator Borah, Sena
tor Williams, democrat, Mississippi,
declared it was too far fetched to at

Race clashes, he said, were all due
