TOM FREIGHT MEN
WHAT CLARK HAD TO SAY TO
TRAFFIC MANAGERS.
THE LAW WILL BE ENFORCED
Incorporations and Their Rules Should
Be Overlooked and Supervised
by Federal Tribunals.
St. Louis, 111. "I doubt if the whole
history of lawmaking in this country
discloses such a record of ignoring, i
evading and defying law as has
marked the course of the interstate
commerce law. Its purpose has been
defeated through, technicalities, but it
must not bo assumed "that the effort
toward government regulation of in
terstate commerce has been, is, or will
be a failure or that it will be aban
doned in despair. There will be no
vindictiveness, no playing to the gal
leries and no partiality in administer
ing the law as laid down by congress,
but there will be a firm purpose and
an earnest effort to enforce the full in
tent." This statement was made by E. F.
Clark, interstate commerce commis
sioner, in an address this afternoon be
fore the annual convention of the
American Association of Freight Traf
fic officials.
Mr. Clark said the roads should be
permitted to maintain traffic associa
tions, providing their articles of Incor
poration and their rules are subject to
approval by a federal tribunal and are
made public.
He opposed the proposition that a
complaint against an increased rate
should automatically suspend such
rate, but urged that the Interstate
Commerce commission be given
authority to suspend a proposed in
crease in rates until its reasonable
ness could be determined.

TTHE S1ATE liiPIML
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
"CITIZENS.
RETURNS. SLOW COB IN
Eleven Counties Yet to Be Heard from
Before Tabulated Statement
Can-Be Given
Lincoln Returns from eleven coun
ties are yet to be received before the
secretary of state can complete the'
tabulation, of the official returns from
the primary election held September 1.
Most people, except those personally
interested, take much interest in the
matter so far as the large majority of
the state offices are concerned. The
result has been known for many days
except in the case of candidates for
the nomination for state auditor.
Eighty counties reported give Barton
9,930, and Alden 10,608. Among the
missing counties is Douglas which
gave Barton a plurality of about 1,100.
Barton's nomination by about 250 is
considered assured. The counties miss
ing from the official returns are
Brown, Butler, Deuel, Douglas, Hayes,
Holt, Polk, Rock, Thayer and Wash
ington. Unless the figures are not deceptive.
W. B. Price of Lincoln, the democratic
nominee for state auditor, is also nom
inated by 250 or more. Mr. Price is
probably as much surprised as any
one over the result of the primaries.
He desired to be a candidate for con
gress in the First district but was sud
denly pulled off at the last moment
and informed by the leaders of his
party that he could not run for con
gress. Unbeknown to him some of his
democratic friends then filed nomina
tion papers for him for the office of
state auditor.
Congressman Hinshaw believes the
newspaper reports have given him too
much of a majority over his opponent.
His reports are official with the excep
tion of reports from three counties. He
believes the returns give him 7.S6S,
Aldrich 3,809; a majority of 4,059.
It is shown by the official returns
that the two constitutional amend
ments submitted for adoption by polit
ical parties to be placed on the ballot
this fall as party measures have been
adopted by all political parties, repub
lican, democrat, populist and even so
cialists. The returns show some oppo
sition, however, among the democratic
ranks to the amendment increasing
the number of supreme judges, in
creasing their salary and increasing
the salary of judges of the district
courts and providing for the appoint
ment of four supreme judges by the
governor. This opposition is shown in
Valley county, where the democrats
defeated this amendment, and in Web
ster, Kearney and Harlan, where thy
populists defeated the amendment re
lating to the judiciary. The amend
ment for the investment of state
school funds in school district bonds
and such other securities as the legis
lature may from time to time direct,
appeared to be more popular every
where than the judiciary amendment.
The real test of the popularity of the
amendments will come at the Novem
ber election, when they are to be voted
upon for final adoption or rejection as
a part of the state constitution.
If the candidates do not amend their
affidavits. Edgar Howard of Columbus
will be recorded as having spent more
money in his campaign than was spent
by his opponent. James P. Latta of Te
kamah. Secretary of State Junkin has re
ceived a message showing that W. A.
Stewart of Lexington was nominated
by the republicans of the Thirteenth
senatorial district by a majority of
twenty-three. Stewart's opponent came
out for county option and he opposed
it. This was an issue of importance
in the district. Stewart is said to have
won because of his rerord as a pro
gressive as against his opponent, who
has been identified with the old ma
chine for many years.
Nebraska Educational Commission.
The Nebraska Educational commis
sion, appointed by the Superintendents
and Principals association at its an
nua! meeting in 1907. met in the office

committee is acting along the same
lines as similar commissions in the
states of Massachusetts. Connecticut.
New York. California. West Virginia

Headquarters at Lincoln.
The headquarters of the Bryan vol
unteers, which have been in Columbus
all summer, and which have been the
subject of conflicting rumors as to
their location, will be moved to Lin
coln, where rooms have been secured
near the democratic state headquar
ters. Up to this time the work at
democratic headquarters has not been
pushed. Chairman Allen and one
stenographer have composed the en
tire force. But now that the primary
battle Is out of the way. the democra
his management promises activity.
Date for Lumber Hearing.
The Commercial club of Lincoln
jumped into the game to assist the
railroads In maintaining a high rate
out of Omaha on lumber. The lumber
dealers of Omaha filed a petition with
the Railway commission setting out
that the railroads were hauling lumber
out of Lincoln to points in the state
at a rate less than the rate given

TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Things that Should be Carefully
Guarded Against by Afflicted.
Afflicted.
In the home treatment for tuber
culosis you need to carefully guard
yqurself against taking too much exer
cise, and should you have an after
noon temperature, you should take nq
exercise at all. The fever is the "con
sumption" and is the destructive force
in the disease. Hence, if you have
fever, you should not even sit up, you
should lie down, -.'his is an important
point and those who imagine that they
should take vigorous and heroic exer
cise should have their minds dis
abused at once. (A person who is
below normal weight should take no
exercise at all until he has regained
his normal weight. Kirschner.) Your
exercise should always he directed by
your physician. This rule should not
be violated.
If you are a user of intoxicants you
must cease at once for you cannot be
cured If you insist on using them.
Remember that you have a "consump
. on" burning the vitality from your
blood more rapidly than nature can re
store it. If upon your already devital
ized condition you impose an addition
al burden you may as well abandon
hope of recovery. You must leave
liquor alone.
Your recovery will depend largely
on temperament. The cure must bo
earned and it will require an extended
period of time to do this. There is
small chance for you if you are a
melancholy, discontended, fault find
ing person. Intelligent, persistent
and painstaking action is required, in
which a cheerful, contended demeanor
must be maintained. There will al
ways be much to encourage the faith
ful and the patient ones, and an
equable temperament and fine conduct
will find ultimate and large reward.
The foregoing paragraphs are ex
tracts from a pamphlet on Home
Treatment in Iowa for Tuberculosis,
edited by A. E. Kepford. Lecturer De
partment of Education on Tuberculos
is and published by the Iowa Board
of Control. This literature is spread
broadcast in Iowa in the heroic effort
made by that state to throw off the
shackles of thralldom to the great
white plague. Mr. Kepford was once
a minister of the gospel, now he calls
himself a minister of the gospel of
good health, and what a gospel, verily.
To quote from a current magazine:
"That it is stupid to bo sick is a new
idea, because we have always believed
that most of our Illnesses are either
foreordained or accidents. Now wo
are rapidly learning that our illnesses
are largely of our making; of our own
carelessness; of our own stupidity in
fact." Then let us no longer be care
less nor stupid, lest nature exact her
tribute from us in punishment meted
out to us for leaving her simple ways.

of 1902, my annoyanco from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery and developed alarming symp

night sweats, and pains in the head and

to take a thorough course of Peruna.
"Two of my friends had gone so far as
to inform me that the thing for mo to do
was to resign my position and seek a

was not expected to live very long.
"Having procured some Peruna, I de
cided to give it a thorough test and ap
plied myself assiduously to tho task of
taking it, as xcr instructions, in the
meantime. "Tho effects were soon apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared anil
my general health bocamo fully as good
as it had over been in my life.

. BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands of Devout Pilgrims.
Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour In the morning to the
temples of Jagernath. says the Cal
cutta Statesman. ;
The image of the god is placed on,
a conspicuous part or tho temple, so.
that it can be viewed at an advantage,
by the immense crowd of pilgrims,!
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences. !
The most curious part of the festi
val is that water is not poured on tho
image of the god until a certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is a pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri.the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this,
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.
EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema Baby's Head-
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sore3
Disease Cured by Cuticura.
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would tnrn
blind ar.d that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old.
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore an'd she was as fair as u new
born baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. II. F. Bwdke.
