PASSAGE BT HOUSE
RECIPROCITY MEASURE IN
LOWER BRANCH.
THE
THE RILL DEBUTED SIX DAYS
Enactment Goes Through in the Same
Form as It Was Reported by the
Committee.
Washington. President Taft's Can
adian reciprocity agreement, support
ed by all but a handful of democrats
and opposed by a majority of the re
publicans passed the house of repre
sentatives Thursday evening by a
vote of 2G5 to 89.
With nearly 200 democrats in con
trol, and their action endorsed by
many of the republicans, the bill was
adopted with no amendments, and in
almost identically the form in which
it passed the house in the last ses
sion. The bill seeks to put into effect the
formal agreement reached between
President Taft and memgers of the
Canadian cabinet for .a reduction of
tariff rates on many articles and free
trade in many others, across the Cana
dian border.
Added to it, by the democratic lead
ers, is a section which "authorizes and
requests" President Taft to make
further efforts to secure still freer
trade relations with Canada, in the
form of additional reciprocal relations.
The passage of the bill marked the
close of a fight that had raged in the
house for six days. In that time the
safety of the measure was at no time
threatened, but the democratic and re
publican leaders, working for its pas
sage, conceded all the opportunity de
sired by its opponents for debate and
protest.
Following the same policy, amend
ments were admitted in the house for
almost every section of the bill, and
in each case they were rejected by an
overwhelming vote.
Ten democrats voted against the
bill on its passage, while 197 demo
crats voted for it. As in the case
when the bill passed at the preceding
session, a majority of the republicans
were found against it, the party vote
being 67 for and 78 opposed.
Representative Berger of Wisconsin,
the socialist member, voted for the
bill and Representative Akin of New
York, who ranks as an independent,
voted against it.
Vote of Nebraskans.

THE ATTACK ON JUAREZ.
It Will Not Be Inaugurated for Some
Time.
Madero's Camp, Near EI Paso. Tex.
Simultaneously with the arrival in
camp Friday night of Francisco Ma
dera, sr., and his peace missionaries.
General Madero stated that he would
maek no attack on Juarez for another
twenty-four hours.
This decision was due partly to the
arrival of his father as peace promo
ter, but principally to a code telegram
from Dr. Vasquez Gomez at Washing
ton insisting that an attack on the
city across the river from El Paso at
this time would be unwise, and prob
ably would be the signal for American
intervention. Dr. Gomez insisted that
public sentiment at this time is in fa
vor of ending the strife and the cer
tain heavy loss of life in an attack on
Juarez would turn the tide of moral
support away from the rebellion.
Thousand Dollars for Rose.
San Dieso. Cal. One thousand dol
lars for a rose. That is the proposi

A Monster Petition.
Washington. Ninety thousand citi
zens of the United Sattes petitioned

men to carry to the speaker's plat
form when tlie house convened large
bundles of petitions submitted by Vic
tor Berger, the socialist member from
Wisconsin.

partment. Americans Assault Mexicans.
Douglas, Ariz. Jesus J. Moreno,
secretary to Francisco Chiapa. one of
the federal commanders in Agua
Prieta, and Captain Carlos Campos
came across the line into Douglas.
Campos was taken to the city hall by
civil authorities, but before a charge
could be preferred Colonel Sibley, U.
S. A., appeared and advised that the
Mexican official be escorted to the
border to avoid danger of violence.
In the meantime two Americans as
saulted Moreno on the street and
knocked him down.
Confer Over Wages.
Chicago. Officers of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En
ginemen began conferences with rep
resentatives of twenty-four railroads
west of Chicago in an effort to settlte
a wage dispute that is said to threat,
en a general strike by the firemen.
The roads have notified the firemen
that after May 16 they will refuse to
pay a higher rate of wages oa "super
heater" engines than on the smaller
classes, and many of the men de
clared they would strike If cut. Daily
conferences will be held.

Rid of an Unpleasant Job.
State Superintendent Crabtree is
pleased because the legislature re
lieved him of the unpleasant duty of
distributing unclaimed dead bodies to
medical colleges. Under the new law

of the state board of health. The old
law required the state superintendent
to do this.
Cattlemen Harass Settlers.
Edward Ohnesorge. a Kinkaid
homesteader from Sioux county, was
in Lincoln to get Governor Aldrich
to interfere if possible in the alleged
differences said to exist in his sec
tion of the state between border cat
tlemen and settlers. The absence of
the state's executive gave the west
ern Nebraskan no chance to pour his
tale into the governor's ears, but his
private secretary, I B. Fuller, as
sured Mr. Ohnesorge that in all prob
ability Governor Aldrich would, upon
his return, transmit the facts to the
federal government.

Spanish War Soldier' Reunion.
The Spanish war soldiers of Lin
coln and Lancaster county are making
big preparations to entertain their
comrades on April 26-27. 1911, at the
fourth annual reunion to be held in
Lincoln for all Nebraska soldiers and
Spanish war soldiers in Nebraska, no
matter from what state or whether a
member of any organization.
Soldiers should report for registra
tion at the Lindell hotel immediately
upon arrival.
The committee is assured of the big
gest attendance yet. and will have a
news letter from each comrade unable
to come on file for perusal by his com
rades. A number of these letters have
already come some from foreign
shores and the boys at headquarters
say they are mighty interesting read
ing. Some comrades could not be located,
but the secretary has written between
150 and 200 personal letters arranging
for comrades to meet at this reunion.
Each company, troop and band will
have its reunion, and there will be a
big camp fire where all will attend.
Theater tickets for one evening will
be furnished all comrades from out
side of Lancaster county and the other
evening will be devoted to a banquet
to which all are invited.
It is hoped that every soldier who
reads this article and who has not re
ceived a letter from the committee
will at once write Frank I. Ringer,
Lincoln. Neb., secretary of the general
committee, giving his company, regi
ment and present address.
Wants Data on Summer Tilling.
The experiments conducted on the
Experimental Substation at North
Platte during the last seven years, and
reported In Bulletin US. indicate that
the growing of winter wheat on sum
mer tilled land is profitable. This
method promises so much that it will
help greatly to solve the question of
profitable crop production in western
Nebraska. In order to collect the re
sults of their experience and give
these results to all who are summer
tilling or may summer till this season,
it is desired to secure the names of
all the farmers in central and western
Nebraska who have summer tilled for
winter wheat or for other crops. Let
ters from men who have summer
tilled, giving their method, crops
raised. 3ield, etc.. and also the names
of men who have summer tiiied or
contemplate summer tilling will be
very much appreciated. Anyone in
terested may write to W. P. Snyder.

Change Plans of Grand Stand.
At a recent meeting of the board of
managers of the state board of agricul
ture it was about decided to change
.the plans for the proposed wooden
grand stand at the fair grounds by
substituting iron posts for wooden
posts, every thirty-two feet. This may
raise the cost to $27,000. and stop other
improvements on the grounds. The
legislature gave only $15,000 for the
work and the board will take its own
funds to complete the job of making
a temporary stand. This step is taken
because the board considers a grand
stand a paying investment for the fair
and considers it necesasry to provide
more seating capacity for the patrons
of the races and the night entertain
ments that are given at the race
course.
Banks Must Obey Law.
Before state banks can advertise
that their deposits are guaranteed by
the state banking law they must show
the state banking board that they have
complied with the law. This may
take several months, so the few state
banks that are now advertising on
posters in their rooms and elEewhere
that they are under the guaranty law
ere somewhat previous. This is the
interpretation placed on the law by
Secretary Royse of the banking board.
Governor Aldrich is at Valentine,
the guest of W. Clarkson of that place,
who will show him where the big fish
are. The governor is out on a fishing
trip and left .Monday for the lakes
south in that neighborhood.
It is believed no more bounty will
be paid by the state for the killing of
wolves. Two years ago the legislature
appropriated $30,900 to pay bounty
claims, but the amount was not suf
ficient and deficiency claims amount
ing to $29,000 or more have been re
ceived by Auditor Barton. The legis
lature that just adjourned appropriat
ed $29,000 to pay such deficiency
claims and as there is no longer a
law authorizing a bounty it is believed
that some day the deficiency claims
will cease to come in and that no more
money will be appropriated.
Death of Dr. A. E. Davisson.
Dr. A. E. Davisson. head professor
of the school of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, died Friday after
noon at the Sunlight hospital after a
brief illness of thirty-six hours.
Dr. Davisson was taken sick Thurs
day morning at his home suffering
from accute abdominal trouble. Con
fining to grow worse he was removed
to the hospital Thursday night, but
rapidly grew worse and died at 2:15
Friday afternoon. The doctors were
cot prepared to make an exact state
ment as to the cause of his death.
The high wind Wednesday did some
damage to state property throughout
the state. It blew down a sixteen-foot
brick chimney on a new buiMlng at
the Institute for feebleminded at Bea
trice and the falling brick b-tdly in
jured the slate roof. The building had
not been accepted from the contractor
and the less may fall on the contrac
tor. The chimney was braced on the
cast side, a side protected by the roof,
hut was not braced on any ether side.
The wind also bent the steel smoke
stack at the soldiers' home at Milford
until it would not draw.

A droll incident is reported as hav

about fourteen, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every
Age and Condition.
Race,
Of all the diseases of the skin and
icalp which torture and disfigure man-
kind, three-fourths are eczematous. I
Millions are born with eczema, and It i
Is the only thing other millions have j
eft when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. It is not re
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poop, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, Is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns I
as with fire the denuded skin. New ,
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales '
form upon scales, and crusts upon ,
crusts until disfigurement Is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat-'
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per- j
son, is hot baths with Cutlcura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cutlcura oint-
ment For more than a generation, i
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes, '
ltchings and irritations of the skin and '
scalp. Although Cutlcura soap and ;
ointment are sold by druggists and '
dealers everywhere, In order that !
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad
dress, together with a 32-page pamph
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms off eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands send to "Cutl
cura," DepL W, Boston.
