Following custom , Representative Joseph G. Can non , the "father of the house , " prob ably will be allowed the privilege of selecting his scat. The chosen leader of the democratic majority will also be accorded the same privilege. Several Days to Get Ready. After the election of house oflicers , committees will bo appointed to wait upon the ptcsident and upon the sen ate to advise both that the house is in session. Several days will proba bly bo icqulred to complete the or ganization and get the house into working older so that It may consldei the matter for which it has been call ed together by the president. The senate will not bo able to do much business until the icclproclty measure comes over from the house , and 1 * Is probable that after disposing of its piellminary business the senate will adjourn for several days at a time un til the action of the house is taken. The scope of legislation and the probable length of the session arc now the staple topics of discussion , lao belief seems to bo gaining ground that the new congress will take up other subjects than reciprocity and tariff. The advocates of direct election of senators will probably make another try for their constitutional amendment An apportionment bill will bo sent over by ( lie house. Tlio p.ew with a record to make will clamor for public buildings and ther and harbor Impiovements. Consetvatlon meas ures left over unfinished from the last session maj bo icvised. Indeed , the leaders think that the extra session ma > be called upon to take up a va- ilety of subjects for legislative action First and fotemost on the agenda , however , is the subject of leciprocitv That the Canadian agi cement will bo given piompt approval by the house Is not doubted by any faction. All of the democrats appear to consider the vote In the last house a committal of democrats to such legislation. The pioposed pact , on the other hand , will find it haul sledding when it i caches the senate Piesident Taft will in go his peima nent tarlfl commission pl.ni , whiih is expected to cause a wrangle in coil' giess and help to piolont ; the session Then again should the committee ao cede to demands for a geneial revih ion of the taillT to bo open to the world , the session piobably would diag tlnough the summer and well in to the fall In any event theto appear * to be little likelihood that the senator' and repie entatives will be able tc get away fiom Washington before the hot weathei begins in cMinust Memorial Day for Travelers. Annual memoiial services of Ihc Uniled Commeicial Travelers wen : held Sunday morning in Norfolk al the First Methodist Episcopal church where Rev. J. W.

The names of deceased members o the order were read by the secretary and the president deposited a lily ii a jar , and with filling words commend ed Ihe departed ones to the care o the All-Wise Ruler of the World. Mis. J. K. Cooper tendered a 'verj fitting solo , which was well rocelvec jind added greatlv 'o ' Ihe success o the service- Rev I W. Kirkpatitck look for hi' ' theme , "What Constitutes a Success fill Life" He said in pait No man in his righl mind wishes t < be Known as a failure. To be pointei out as ono who makes good is one o the most common ambitions of men It would be well if this desire wa : universal. For such a desire is thj , . key to the world's progress. Whei ' we cease to desire to succeed stagnn tlon and death follow. But It may be well for us to ask i few questions for consideration bofor wo'pioceed farther. What is success Has It any moral significance ? Wha are the elements that make up a sue cessful life ? Wo are told that a fc . vorablo termination of anything al tempted is success. That a man sue ccecls when ho achieves what he aim at. Marconi achieved success in win t less telegraphy. The Wright brother L. achieved success In producing the ! Hying machine. It is clear that success as here dc fined and lllustraled may apply to tha which is evil as well as to that whlc Is good. A man may be a succcssft robber , a successful gambler , a sin cessful liar or murderer. So to sa that a man Is a success Is , after al to say nothing as to his moral charai tor. Unfortunately some men hav unworthy ends or alms In life , and t succeed In this case is only to haste their ruin. It Is , therefore , evident that succes o as thus defined has no real elhlci it value , no moral worth. And wo mm seek for some further definition c 0 success. The Success magazine , being sever ly criticized some years ago for II glorifying of success regardless of II moral barrenness , offered a rowat n for a definition of what constitutes successful life. The first prize of J250 was awarded a little woman In Kan sas H Is so good I give : "He has ichleved success who has lived well , atiglied often and loved much ; who ins gained , and never betrayed , the rtiHt of pine women and the love of little children , who has filled his niche mil accomplished his task : who has left the wet Id better than he found It , whethi'i by an Improved poppy , a per fect poem or a rescued soul , who has never lacked appirelation of earth's lA'aulj. or failed to express it. who has always looked for the best In oth- : -r.s and given the best he had , whose life was an Inspiration , whose mem- or.v a benediction " Kvoiy clause of this definition Is full of meaning \o\\ \ will observe there Is no mention of gaining wealth , attaining political honors , or reaching piofessional distinction. One may gain all these and jot not succeed in life according to this definition. To succeed In making life strong , pure , helpful and Clnlstllke Is the highest possible achievement. It is more than to succeed in making money , or build ing up a business. There are many hindered In the way of attaining such success , but the Good Book Is a safe guide , and our Great Teacher has promised his help , so that no man need fall In attaining to such a life as has been set forth.

For he minutes Coyne acted on the de- 'enslvc , and then by a careful maneu ver succeeded In hurling his opponent icross the mat and down. From thia HI the wrestle was on in earnest. Dur1 ing the balance of the contest Downs , by Ins quick and active movements succeeded in getting a full Nelson , a lammerlock and a body hold , respec' .holy , none of which seemed to avail dm anything. On the other hand , with grit coupled with an alertness ind a tenacity equal to that exercised jy the canine species , Coyne succeed' ed at last in getting a heel and toe lolcl. This hi ought the climax. Downs was down and Coyne the favorite mar hal of Ewing was the winner and the champion of nottheast Nebraska.

Francisco Sonora , a federal soldier , is dead and three men are wounded as a result of the explosion of three bombs in Cnllo Diablo in Ciadad Juarez at midnight Unless an atlack was being planned on the jail and was thwarted by the bombs exploding prematurol } , the real purpose of the explosion is inexplic able. able.Tho The fii si explosion occuned In Iho slreet In front of the La Volte dance hall and as the revelers ran out wo men shouted that t\vo men on top of a roof opposite the dance hall had thrown a bomb A number of special policemen and soldiers who were In the hall dashed into the building vvhcio the men were supposed to bo and two bombs were hurled at the mass as they got Into Pallor court. The first bomb literally blew Fran cisco Sonora to pieces The second bomb wounded his companions. The two bomb Ihrowers escaped. It Is the Iheory of the federal au thorities that the bomb throwers were making their way across the tops of roofs to hurl their bomb against tne walls of the state prison , which is in the same block as the building they destroyed , and that they dropped a bomb by accident. The city jail rapidlj filled with prls- oneis bolwcen Iho tlmo of the explos ion and daylight , soldiers and police forming a cordon around the dlslrlcis.
