t nt urn in etra he-sion, Governor
hlialleiiborgor deserves tho unstinted
praise of all clear thinking inun. Ses
sions of Ihe legislature aro expensive

a time of extreme emergency. There
aro ahvnys plenty of agitators who al
low tlicniHclvi's to dwell too intently
upon ono thoine and imagine that the
enactment of n pet law is the only
guarantee against immediate dust ruct
ion. Should tho same body of men
convene at this time wo doubt very
much that they would voto any dif
ferent than they did in regular ses
sion. Gov. iSliallcnbcrger has demon
strated time and again his ability to
run his olllco in a business like man

valuable information can be gained by
attending the regularscssioiis. When
we consider that we are an agricultur
al people wo realize that this commun
ity will prosper in proportion as farm
products increase. It ought to be
readily seen that our greatest interest
is centered on tho fatm and its possi
bilities. People for many miles aroti nil
aro making pieparatious to attend
this institute. He one of them.
A petition signed by -10 voters of
this city was presented to the council
at its regular meeting Wednesday
night asking that the people be given
an oppoitunlt.v of voting wet or dry
this year. Thecoiincilacted favorably
on tho petition and tho clerk will cause
to be printed on the ballots a form
whereby very one may indicate his
position regarding saloons, of course
no person elected would he legally
bound by such a oto but it would
take a man a consldeinblo hardihood
lo act contrary to tho expressed wishes
of a majority on any question. Wo
aro confidont that any olllcer would
be pleased to have tho icsponsibility
rest whcio it properly belongs and
relievo him of the odium which tho
adherents of ono policy or the other
would Indict upon him.
Wo sincerely trust that the move
ment stmted last week looking toward
the forming of a development company
will receive the co-operation of all our
citizens. We propose that a commit
tee formulate a dctlnato plan of organ
ization, set forth the object of the
association and then ask all to take
part and make a go of it. Dreams aro
of little use unless they develop into
something practical. When once our

To the Democrats of the
Mate of Nebraska:
We. the undersigned olllcers of your
stale committee hcieby call a mass
meeting ol the deinocincy of Nebiaska
to gather In Lincoln on Monday,
lebruarj. I lib us pailicipuiits in a
dollar banquet.
Wo do this in conformity with apic
cedent IoIIovmiI tor many juiu.s in the
! holding ol such meetings ai the capi
tal city for the, bunclil of the demo
emtio oiganiatioii and I lie piopngu
ot democratic doctrine. And wo tool
that this year especially the advisabil
ity ol such a gathering is nppaiciit.
since cuniltiUin.s moie than eoi
demand a vigoiotis campaign in every
I'.ate Hi this union to aisurt anew the
gospol that piinelplos and not inonej
nhoitlil be tho basis of the government
at aslilngtou.
Thcio has novel been a time in it
cent yeais when tho gieal mass ol tho
people eeio so heartily fn favor ot
ilemucialiu doctrines as now. There
has never been a time when the
necessity lor the establishment ot
those doctrines vvasasplaln. A lepub

dialed and condemned by multitude
of republicans because il has departed
still ftuther Horn democratic princi
ples than did the picceiliug adminis
tration, and because such democratic
policies as tho preceding administrat
ion in pad espoused the present
adtiiluistiation is deseiting. Tho
country is hungry tor democracy
democracy in the house of represent
atives, in the senate and in tho White
House. And the country is -ick at
heart over tho spectacle of fulso pre
tense under which a republican ad
ministration was elected, and the deli
berate betrayal that followed that
election.
It bohooves democrats everywhere
lo get together. Great principles are
at stake. Tho future of tho republic,
as depending on political and indus
trial liberty, is involved. The country
must look, mid is looking, to the demo
cratic party for salvation. It devolves
on us as domociats to show that our
fellow citizens will not look to the
liKtorie demociatic party
ii vain.
Many years of eperienco has shown
thai It is hopcle-s tor progiessive citi
zens lo expect relief at tho hands ot
the icpitblican organization, and they
will come to us if we show them that
wo are deserving of tlioir eonlldence.
We therefore urgently request Ne
braska Democrats to bury and forget
all minor and personal differences and
assemble in force at Lincoln on tho
(day mentioned to takejup in earnest
i the woi k of advancing the welfare of
I the pin ty and the principles for which
it stands

LINCOLN LETTER
Lincoln, Nebr., Kebr. ') (Special Cor
respondence.) Ono of the best laws
ever enacted by a Nebraska Legislat
ure was enacted by the democratic
legislature of I'.XW. It is known as
the anti-discriininatiou law. Willi all
their boasted "regulation of railroad"
laws the republican legislatures of
Nebraska never thought to touch upon
tho vital point so thoroughly covered
by tho sossionof ll)o). Urielly tho law
prevents line elevator companies, big
creamery companies and other cor
porations from so manipulating prices
as to freeze out tho co-oporatlvo ele
vators, co-operative creameries and
other mutual companies formed by
farmers for their own protection.
For instance, a grain company with
several elevators along a line of road,
will discriminate against a fanner's
olevator in one city, paying a higher
price there and a lower price whore

Tho endorsement of the Income tax
amendment by Nebraska and other
legislallon of impoitio'co is not of
such vital Intel c-t at this time that It
cannot wait for action either by the
next regular session or at an extra
session to 1)0 convened should futuie

rant the assembling of the Legislature
in extra session.
(iovernor .Shallenbergcr, who has
just i ('turned I roin the Atlantic const
sas: "I found a strong sentiment in
the east in favor of a postal savings
bank law, and tho indications are that
congiess will enact such a law. Any
law enacted by tho present congress
along this line, however, will encv It
able drain tlio inoiicy of tho west to

convinced that a guaranty of deposits

raska in our own state, provide secur
ity equal to that of a postal savings
bank, and keep Nebraska money a-
vallnblo for Nebraska business men,
is a coiistimtiatiuu very much to bo
desired."
Ill order to set at rest numerous
rumors, Governor Shulloubergor has
issued a statenientcoucerning the pro
position to call an extra session of
tint legislature. He can not see, at
this timo, any neccossity for an extra
session. Until the bank guaranty case
Is decided by tho supreme court of tho
t'nited States, any plan for tho pro
tection of tho people's deposits
through a guarantee law must wait

A Startling Statement
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dpspe&sla to be a Pre-Dlsposlnft
Cause of Consumption
Tho post mortem statistics of tho
big New Vork hospitals show that
sonic cases of cosumption arc duo, at
least indirectly, to unchecked dyspep
sia, especially when the victim was
predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out tho body and
brain. Tho weakened irritable
stomach boing unable to digest food,
tho body does not receive tho required
nourishment, and the victim becomes
thin, weak and haggard. As a result,
the body becomes a fertile Hold In
which the gorms of disease may lodgo
and llourish.
Therefore, tho person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de
velopment of one of the lnostjinstdious
and fatal diseases known to mankind,
Dyspepsia may bo complctoly
eradicated If properly treated. Wo
sell a reined v that wo postivcly
guarantee will completely reliovo
indigestion or dyspepsia, or the
medicine used dining the trial will
cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been named Rcxall
Dyspepsia Tablets Certainly no of

should be proof positive that Rexall
