an Item of $215,000 proposed by Rep
resentative Mondell for the construc
tion of an experimental storage reser
voir on the headwaters of the Mis
souri river and the survey of the res
ervoir sites In western states. Chair
man Burton of the committee said to

through the river and harbor bill for
the construction of reservoirs in the
arJ rccionn of the -west. We denned
our position on tii.r
ago. when the senate tacked to the bill
a similar amendment introduced by
Senator Warren of Wyoming. We de
feated it In conference and the house
refused to recede from this action. Wo
still oppose the reclamation of the arid
lands and will defeat any proposition
advanced with this object ia view."

SATAN'S
Old Satan sat down in an e-fay chair,
With a re-y wi.-'c and! satisfied air;
To tell his friends who to him had come,
How the glorious victory was won. H
"Sit down and I'll try ti make it clear,
Why we are the winners again this year.
"Now this is the way I managed the poor;
I told them the wolf would be at their door, ,
As sure as they thoug-t of the Philippine crime,
And cast their ballots for Billy Bryan;
Why, they were so scared they came in a swarm
To the side that would promise to keep them warm.
"The farmers, I told, taere was no such thing,
As a Sulu slare, or a money ring;
Twas foolish to think of injustice and vices.
To vote 'for ns and we'd give them good prices.
" (I never mentioned the price of wire, .
Nor asked if they knew that "sugar was higher.)
"I told the young men if they wished to succeed,
The cries of oppression they never must heed;
Gain favor with rich men, to take my advice,
And kill out their conscience, 'all men have their price,
They knew what I meant, without explanation,
And voted to tear out their country's foundation.
"The church people took the most of my time;
But I told them all of this work was divine;
That the Lord was leading and aiming our guns,
And the rich men would give them larger sums;
That we must expand, give our young men room,
Though it be the cause of the brown man's doom.
"The monied men took none of my time,
For most of them were always mine; .
But I must confess if it wasn't for them,
We'd never have got in the White house again.
For, friends, you'd be surprised If you knew,
The money it took to carry us through.
"On a very large crowd I can always depend.
And many I found who the cash, would demand,
To some vhisper 'party'; 'twas all that was needed.
Sometimes I have threatened, at other times pleaded
But, Oh! how they came till they made my head swim,
When I told them to vote with the side that would win.
"There's very few people, I cannot use some,
And a host I almost entirely run;
Why, even the Lord must look down from the skies,
' And view my power with perfect surprise,
But mv helpers are faithful, and work with their might,

The Leading Druggist
It is always interesting in a city to
observe the success of the different
business men. Some will thrive; many
will fall. It Is a noticeable fact that
out of twenty-four corners along O
street the main street In this city
from 10th to 15th seven of them are
occupied by drug stores. Some of
them are successful and some are not.
Apparently the best located and most
liberally patronized is that of Mr. J.
E. Rlggs at 12th and 0. He is an old
time druggist, having served In all
branches of the business. He first en
tered the drug business at the age of
fifteen. He worked six years under
one of the most skilled pharmacists
of eastern Indiana. Later he took
Horace Greeley's advice and :ame west
to, if possible, build up a fortune. In
1880 he settled in Hastings, Neb., in
the drug business, but on account of
crop failures and business depression
he disposed of his interests and came
to Lincoln to work for the wholesale
firm of Leigh ton & Brown. The posi
tion not proving very satisfactory
from a financial standnolnt hA decided
VICTORY.

ing. He was given an important clerk
ship in the prescription department.
Later on he represented them on the
road throughout the western territory,
including Wloming, Utah. Colorado
and Idaho. In the fall of 18S3 he quit
the road and located in the drug busi
ness in Lincoln, Neb. In 1890 he was
elected a member of the examining
board of pharmacy for a five-year
term. Two years later he was made
president of the board, but inasmuch
as he had sold out his drug business
and according to the custom of the
board of pharmacy, his resignation
was in order. He resigned after re
ceiving all the honors due a retiring
president. In 1891 he engaged In the
wholesale glass and paint business,
continuing this for some four success
ful years. Later on he disposed of
his interest to an advantage and went
back to his first love, the retail drug
business, being now located on the cor
ner of 12th and O streets, Lincolu,
Neb., where he enjoys a very flattering
trade.
