The United States court of appeals j
Washington. The tariff' debate in
the senate will begin Monday imme
diately after the close of the routine
business. Senator Aldrich, chairman
of the committee on finances, will
open'the proceedings' with a general
statement in support of the bill and
he will be followed by Senator Daniel,
the senior democratic senator, who is
expected to outline the democratic'po
sition regarding the measure. Sena
tor Aldrich will go into detail in expla
nation of the various changes made
by his committee and it is understood
will undertake to show that the bill, as
reported, will be a strong revenue
producer.
Senator Daniel and other democrats
will take the opposite view. They de
clare that the weakness of the Payne
Aldrich bill is found in that it will not
insure sufficient income to permit the
governmental business to proceed
without the addition of other features
which will put money into the national
treasury.
The democratic senators will urge
an income tax as the most rational
and most prolific means of increasing
the receipts. All of them will support
an income tax provision and in addi
tion some of them will strenuously
urge a tax on all dealings in futures.
They will have the support of some
of the republican senators, but will
not receive assistance from any of
the members of the committee on
finance as they take the position that
with greater economy and improved
business conditions which all are pre
dicting the bill will insure sufficient
revenue to meet the demands of the
government.
There will not be in the senate as in
the house any sharp dividing line be
tween general debate and the discus
sion of amendments to the schedules,
but on the contrary it is expected that
immediately after the close of the Al
drich and Daniel speeches the read
ing of the bill will proceed with a
view to considering amendments
whenever they may be offered.
If senators desire to make set
speeches, even on the general sub
ject of the tariff, they will be per
mitted to do in connection with the
consideration of the different sched
ules. If it is found necessary, there
will be a lengthening of the daily ses
sions. The democrats profess as
great anxiety as the republicans for
the early disposition of the measure.
Among the republicans who will speak
on the bill are Messrs. Lodge, Brown,
Carter, Cummins, Cullom, Heyburn,
McCumber, Nelson and Smith of
Michigan, while the democratic ora
tors will include Senators Bailey, Ba
con, Bankhead, Clay, Gore, Johnston,
Money, Newlands, Rayner and Smith
of South Carolina.
The house will be in session on
Monday and Thursday only and no
business will be done on either day
beyond making provisions for the
next census.

Many Professors Are Promoted.
Dean Bessey, at the meeting of the
state university regents, introduced
the matter concerning the raising of
the pay of a number of the janitors
who have been connected with the
university for some time. The re
gents took the matter under advise
ment and some plan will be formu
lated for the raising of the pay of
the older janitors. The board ad
journed to meet at a special session
one week from Tuesday. At this time
the question of the cadet encampment
will be considered and several im
portant committee reports received.
The university budget was under con
sideration. Owing to the smallness of
the appropriations and the fact that
several appropriation bills failed to re
ceive the governor's signature, the
budget is not ia satisfactory condition
for the next two years.
The list of appointments and
changes in the faculty were made
and are as follows: Dean Charles
Bessey was selected as head dean and
the ranking order of the rest estab
lished as follows: Dr. Sherman, Dr.

dicates the relative length of service
of the deans. The title or Mrs. Berk

POTATO MAKES PROUD BOAST.
Regents Create New Department.
A new department of Slavonic lan
guages with Miss Miller as an instruc
tor was created by the regents of the
state university. The beard also rec
ommended the establishment of a
Swedish department, provided the
proper interest was shown in the new
course. Some time ago the regents
were petitioned for a new Swedish
department, but the matter was
dropped at that time since only about
75,000 Swedes reside in Nebraska and
it was thought that the department
would not receive sufficient support.
The board reconsidered the matter,
however, and will in all probability
take favorable action upon it.
The resignation of Captain John
G. Workizer as commandant of the
university cadets was accepted and
aptain Yates, a former Nebraska
graduate, was accepted as bis suc

THE WRETCHES.
Prods Fraternal Orders.
State Auditor Barton proposes to
enforce the law requiring fraternal
beneficiary societies to have a repre
sentative form of government. The
statute requires this and the supreme
court has defined a representative
form of government, but Auditor Bar
ton is the first auditor who has had
the courage to try to strictly enforce
the law. The decision of the court
on which he bases his action was giv
en in the case of Lange vs. The Royal
Highlanders, wherein it was held that
the inherent right to enact laws for
the government cf a corporation is
in its stock holders and that this au
thority cannot be assumed by com
mittees or directors or other bodies
witnout express autuority. tnat a rep
resentative form of government
means cne conducted by the agency
of delegates "chosen by the people.
Uncle How Is It, young man. that
you failed again in your examination?

me the very same question I could not
answer last year!

KearneyCity Bonds Rejected.
After having heard arguments of at
torneys State Auditor Barton has re
jected the $100,000 water bonds issued
by the city of Kearney and presented
to him for registration. The city pro
posed to build a plant or to buy the
American Water company's plant. The
latter was appraised at $165 000. The
bands voted are of doubtful legality,
according to the auditor's opinion, and
the city will have to go into court to
get a reversal of his holding. The
bands were not sufficient in amount to
buy the private water plant.
Out.'ook Good for Irrigation.
State Engineer Simmons has re
ceived the United States bulletin for
March showing an unprecedented
snowfall in Wyoming. This is cheer
ing news to irrigators in Nebraska
who depend upon the Platte river for
water during the growing season. The
North Platte river supplies a large
part of the water used for irrigation
in Nebraska ar.d this stream is sup-;
plied largely by tae melting of snow
in the mountains. If the melting takes
place gradually no injurious floods oc
cur and the water is distributed more
evenly throughout the summer.
"I was one of the kind wh wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me,"
says a N. Y. woman. "You just couldn't
convince me its use was connected
with the heart and stomach trouble I
suffered from most of the time.
"My trouble finally got so bad I
had to live on milk and toast almost
entirely for three or four years. Still
I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
it could do such damage.
"What I needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment In such form as
my stomach could digest.
"I had read much about Postum.
but never thought it would fit my case
until one day I decided to auk coffee
and give it a trial and make sure about
it. So I got a package and carefullv
followed the directions.
"Soon I began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other di
gestants and it was not long before I
was really a new woman physically.
"Now I am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and I know this wonder
ful change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment I
needed through this delicious Postum.
"My wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with it and build themselves up
as I have done, with Postum." v
Easy to prove by 10 days trial of
Postum In place of coffee. The reward
is big.
