(Special ) The question of prohibition ha been the over shadowing Issue In the municipal campaign la this city. In one or two ward there U loma doubt as to the election of the nominees for councllmcn. but otherwise the republican ttcke will unquestionably re celve an overwhelming majority. Candi dates have scarcely been mentioned during the entire contest, the only subject of real discussion being that of the saloons. On this question of whether or not the saloons shall be closed both sldea are to night claiming a victory, but some of the liquor dealers are apprehensive of the re suit and are even willing to wager that the prohibition question will carry In the election tomorrow. A. O. Wolfenbarger, mho has been the leader of the radical tem perance element, says the Indications are flattering for the success of the no-saloon movement. "I have talked with a good many per sons on the question and am glad to say that big majority of them were outspoken In favor of prohibition," said Mr. Wolten barger. "If the same ratio prevails among the other voters we will win by a good majority." Rev. Fletcher L. Wharton of St. Paul'i Methodist Episcopal church has probably done the most effective work In the cause of temperance during the campaign. Twice each Sunday he has spoken to over 2,000 persons In the Immense church temple on this subject and besides has taken part In many of the town meetings. Colonel Bain of Kentucky and Charles T.

On the sntl-prohlbltloB or high license side the moat help has come through the action of the Commercial club In adopting resolutions In fsvor of an Increase of the $1,000 license, and from the action ef the exclne board In shoving the license up to $1,600. The temperance leaders admit that many citizens who were formerly In favor of doing away with the saloons have been taken Into the other camp on the single ground of the raise In the license fee. Aside from one councilman In each ward the officers to be elected tomorrow are city attorney, police Judge, city engineer. water commissioner and cemetery trustee. City Attorney Strode, Engineer Campen and Water Commissioner Tyler are candi dates for re-election. P. James Cosgrave, formerly a well known democratic worker In this county. Is a republican nominee for police Judge. Mr. Cosgrave was an officer In the First regiment of volunteers and after returning to Nebraska changed his politics because of the attitude of the democrats on the policy of expansion. Labor Boreaa After County. Prompted by the defiant attitude of the Lancaster county authorities. Deputy Labor Commissioner Watson lias requested the attorney general to begin mandamus pro ceedings to test the constitutionality of the law which reaulres county assessors to gather Information for the 8tate Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics. This law makes It the duty of the assessors In esch precinct to collect statistics of Indus trial and agricultural enterprise, but pro vides no compensation for the work. In many of the counties the assessors have been derelict and a few of the clerks In years past have given Instructions to their assessors to disregard the law. In his schedule blanks Mr. Watson has omitted many of the unnecessary require ments, thereby reducing the task to a minimum, and with the exception of those of Lancaster the authorities of the various counties have ahown no disposition to dis regard the provisions of the act. But County Attorney Caldwell of Lancaster again questions the constitutionality of the law and If the other authorities of the county coincide with his views and declare an Intention of disregarding Us provisions proceedings In mandamus will be lnstl tuted. "I want the question settled and settled bv the courts." said Mr. Watson thts after noon. "The department has naa trouoie wtth the authorities of the various coun ties long enough and It Is time we knew whether or not the law will stsna me iesi and can be enforced. We have no partic ular grievance agalnet Lancaster county however, for other counties In past years have taken the same stand an obstinately maintained It." Schools of KebrasUw.

This first edition baa been pushed forward to completion under great difficulties and stress of other work, at odd times ana seasons, evenings, on railway trains, and at wayside stations. Mr. Fowler desires to eliminate a few of the old Illustrations In the revised edition and to include many new onee. For this purpose he asks su perintendents, principals, teachers, and others Interested, to send him from time to time any photographs they may be ablf to gather pertinent to the subject and 11 lustratlve of the conditions In their section of the state.

'His Angel Feet," a dramatic sketch In one act, and "Mother Qoose Easter Carni val," an operetta, were given by local talent under the direction of Mrs. John W. McDon ald, at the Oliver theater Monday night for the benefit of St. Theresa's pro-cathedral and St. Elisabeth's hospital. The produc tion was on elaborate scale and the best ever seen In the city. . The orchestration of the music for the carnival was by Au gust Hagenow. The elocutionary and del- sarte work was under the direction of Miss LUlle Anderson. The dramatic sketch was given as a cur tain-raiser, Mrs. McDonald appearing as Lady Gwendoline Bloomflled, and W. E. Hubbard, as Sir Geoffrey Bloomfleld. The stage setting of this act was the artistic work of Mrs. McDonald, and exceeded In magnlDcence anything ever attempted in the amateur line In Liner :. Among thoas who carr.ed leading parts In the fairy carnival were: O. H, Walters, as King Basso of the Diamond Islands, Miss Donna Williams, as Fairy Queen Don caeta; Miss Charlotte Talcott, as Paprika, a fairy; Bessie Clark, a Dimple Cheeks; J. Donald McDonald, as Puss In Boots; aud Frank Mlllson, ss Herald of Prince. Walter Booth, the muscular coach of the Univer sity of, Nebraska foot ball team, assumed the part of Snow Man Dance. The performance was eminently success ful, from a financial, as well as artistic standpoint. To Inspect Wymore Artillery. In an order issued this afternoon Adju tant Oeneral Colby designated Friday, April 11, as the day for the inspect'on of the Wymore battery of light art.l ery. The duty will be performed by Colonel C. J. Bills, Inspector general of the Nebraska National guard. The spec! flea Hons of the order are as follows: "The Inspector general will appoint the hour for the Inspection and notify the com manding officer of the battery of the time so appointed, giving any further Instruc tions and suggestions he may deem advis able.

Commanding officers will see that every facility is afforded for such examination A report of the Inspee t'oa of the battery will be prepared and forwarded to the adjutant general's office as. soon after the Inspection as practl cable." Similar orders have been issued for an Inspection of the Seward troop of cavalry on Saturday, April IS. It la explains! by officials of the guard that the inspection of th battery will include an Uvcetlga tioa of charges against members of the company. Tola Investigation Is planned (or the purpose of settling a dispute over the election of a captain for the organisation. Expert Important Oplalosta. Judges and commissioners of the su preme court met this morning and began the preliminary work of the week's sit ting, which, because of the unusual amount of pending litigation on the call, may ex- end over to Thursday.

Among the Important asee In which decisions are due are those of the state against the bondsmen of for mer Treasurer Bartley. and against the Omaha National bank, both of which arose from Bartley's defalcation, and the one of he Crawford Company against Leroy Hall.

COMPLAIN 0MTHE OFFICERS Enlisted Men Transferee- from Twenty-Second to Thirteenth Strike Hard Lines. FORT CROOK, Neb., March 31. (Spe clal.) Enlisted men of the Twenty-second Infantry who were transferred to the Thir teenth before leaving Manila have found their lot less happy, at least a portion. Letters received here bring news of the resignation en masse of the non-commissioned officers of Company E. They were persuaded to withdraw the letter lest charges of mutiny might be preferred against them, but all have determined to secure release In some way. When enlisted men voluntarily seek to be rid of the usually prized chevrons it Is a sign some thing Is wrong. In this case It seems to be the treatment accorded the men by young lieutenants. One former private of the Twenty-second, now serving in the Thirteenth, writes to a former chum: "When I enlisted to fight for my country I left a good home, a dear mother and friends I loved, because I thought my coun try needed me. While out on the lines soldiering was, of course, very hard. Ra tions could not be bad and we lived the best we could and made no complaint. We came to Manila after two years and eight months' bard service, scouting around for contented 'gurus.' The regiment we belonged to wae ordered home; we were transferred to the Thirteenth and here our troubles began. While up In the mountains we could not drill as often as here In Manila, though I like to drill as well as others; and for this the lieutenants hit them with their swords, yell at them and push them around like a lot of curs. A soldier has a heart as well as the officers who are over them and they cannot endure such treatment. One lieutenant, Halstead of Company E. was reported to the commanding officer by a private for hitting him, but he still con tinues to yell and yank the men around and strike them with his sword. Cannot this be stopped or looked into? No wonder the men desert and the guardhouse is pre ferred to doing duty in such a company. "At ons time the inspector general would come around and a private soldier had a chance to make his complaint, but that time seems to have passed away and we aro obliged to stand and take anything the officers do or say. We do not get enough to eat here in Manila. We fared better In the mountains. We are herded together like a lot of sheep and no one is allowed to leave quarters even to buy food for him self. In fact, we are held here as so many prisoners, as though we had committed eome great crime for which we were being punished by a few young lieutenants. Can not this he Inveetigatedf Cannot something be done for these hard-service men besides abusing them by striking them with a sword and half starving them? These men went without food and water, footsore and weary, over the long mountain trails to sustain the glory of their country's flag, and would do so again, but they deserve better of their officers than to be abused." A Chicago correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat sizes up William Jennings Bryan's present political condition as fol lows: Mr. Brvan ha begun, since his return to Nebraska ftom Washington, a campaign which he was urged to begin more than a year ago. It was after the long tight to undermine the Nehraskan, which whs mn.de in the national committee lielween 1X97 and 1R9, and which forced a reorgani sation of the subcommittees In the nationul committee, that Mr. Uryan first showed signs of trying to make a treaty with "the enemy's country." He mailo a complete abandonment of his original position on the Spanish treaty for the purpose ot mollify ing the gold wing. He was even willing to go into the campaign of V.sm with a re affirmation of the Chicago platform and no speclllc reference to ratio and the demand for 18 to 1, which he was finally compelled to voice In advance of the Kansas I'Hy convention, was made Imperative upon him bv democrats, who Insisted that it wan no time for compromises. This counsel hud long been offered him, but It was not until after the Missouri state convention of that year, which set the pace for other states, that he began to heed it. Kven when the national convention met he became a party to the "paramount Issue" business, which lost the party half a million votes. And since that disastrous experiment, save for lils outburst against the counting tn of a goldbug bolter as mayor of St. Louis, he has been quiescent as to the schemes for reorganisation of the national committee of the party and the state committees In many states. Hla Illusion Has Passed, Mr. Bryan Is a splendid egotist. With all the multiplying evidences of energy and Intelligence In the work of his factional enemies, he was complacent In the asanr arce that the personal equation would, when the time came, bring all their schemes to naught. He returned from Washington to Nebraska a disillusioned men. He passed through Chicago on his way westward, and had much talk here with his friends over the new situation, as he called It, forced by the effort of the re organizers to get control of the congres slt nal committee for the campaign of this year. But this is in no sense a new sit uation, and appears new to Mr. Hryan only because he has had his eyes opened. He heard here much opposition to the placing ol Ben. Cable In charge of the campaiKii wcrk of the congressional committee, for Cable, in state politics and as a member of the democratic state committee. Is op posed to the Hryan faction In Illinois and favors the "new Tildenlsm" of the ele ment, led by John P. Hopkins, the state chairman. Cable, In truth, has made but little Impression upon practical politicians tn Illinois of any faction. He was lucky In being. In 1M2, assigned to the chair of the national subcommittee, with headquar ters here, to take charge of the democratic campaign In the northwestern states. That was the year In which both Illinois and Wisconsin went for Cleveland solely be csuse the republican voters, disaffected by compulsory education laws, voted the dem ocratic ticket straight from top to bottom. This issue had been shaped, and forced, and Intensified, by the adroit work of Wis consin and Illinois politicians before Mr. Cable appeared on the scene, hut he was on the spot when he victory came, and he i inirn i no ivine i mi jiiui uni pill, r hit I - I. V, n ....-. 1 1 .4 inHI.a. ( Kn V. Unm enlisted for the war. Hut the Gorman program at Washington has been car ried out thus far, and will be carried far ther without a hitch. Mr. Bryan has not been able, even to effect a compromise. The settled selection of Griggs of Georgia Is not even a concession to him. Urtggs was the man selected in Gorman councils from the start. Cable Is to be placed Just where It was originally proposed and In tended to place him, Ht the head of the campaign committee, which Is really the working committee, and will have entire charge of the campaign. Furthermore, most of the men who are to be associated with him In that committee are of the same stripe. If the constitution of the committee which is to select the Cable committee Is to be taken as a guide to their complexion. There la but one distinct and recognlred silver man on that committee. He Is Wil liams of Illinois, and he Is for Cabin. Neither Richardson of Tennessee nor Cul berson of Texas Is any longer regarded as orthodox from the Bryan point of view, al though their attitude as to the silver ques tion Is more open to doubt. Rupert of New York, Williams of Mississippi and Jackson of Kansas are out of line with the Brvan program, if they know what it Is, which Is much to be doubted, since it is so late coming out. Koalon In Nebraska. The continued fusion in Nebraska, which has been decided upon since his return to Lincoln, is put down as the first evidence of Bryan's policy which looks to the hold ing together of the populists and demo crats of many states with himself as the keystone of the arch. The fact Is, how ever, that the fusion In Nebraska would probably have been accomplished without Bryan If he had opposed It. The populists there outnumber the democrats so ma terially that a fusion Is less an act of democratic than of popullatlc grace, al though neither of the parties could enter a campaign alone with any hope of success aga,lnst the republicans under normal con ditions. Senator Allen, the populist leader, desires fusion as much as Mr. Hryan can, and (ioubtlesH contributed as much to bring It about. The main fact of Importance In the case, however, Is that It has been ef fected without giving the least Indication of friction or affording the slightest evi dence of disloyalty to the political for tunes of Mr. Hryan. A yet more Important tact In connection with Nebraska develop ments is that Mr. Hryan is resuming the old form In which he attained all of his ascendancy over democratic party councils. He appears to have discovered at last that the element in the party with which he has been trying to compromise Is not seeking compromise, but unconditional surrender. He has awakened to this consciousness rather late, perhaps, for his own personal ambitions, if he has any, but not too late for contribution to some exchanges of opinion In regard to democratic party poll-tics.

Mistake Already Made. Mr. Bryan said while here that a mis take hud been made In allowing the reor ganii. lion movement to gain headway, and Cattle, he thought. If the results of the congressional campaign of this year should be successful, would be selected probably as the next chairman of the national com mittee, If the reorganlzers control In mak ing up that body Under the rule adopted In 19110 Cable would first have to be elected a member of the national committee. This could not easily be done, even If the Hop. kins faction wins, as Hopkins Is credited with a desire to get on the national com mittee and manage the next national dem ocratic campaign himself, and, If this were not true, his dependence upon Gahan, the frenent national committeeman, would not eave him In a position to support Cable If Oahan wants to continue In the office. Tom Taggart of Indiana still has the call In well-Informed circles ss the man who will be put at the head of the committee when reorganization comes.

Some Wesleyan stu dents and one of the professors of the elo cutionary department of the university today took a short course In physics, the moral, like that of the story, being In the application of It. They didn't pursue their investigations very far, but the result was most eminently satisfactory In a way. As one conclusion, they believe they have demonstrated the fact that fire will burn, and that on a windy day it travels at a rate of speed that Justifies the us of the adjective "wild." Burt M. Reynolds and Frank Swarts both of University Place, accompanied by Miss Marie Mickey of Osceola, Neb., and Miss Alice Blckford ot Chicago, assistant pro fessor of elocution at Wesleyan univer sity, sallied forth on a bunting expedition.

If the wind had blown from some other direction they decided to take tiffin, and so started a fire In a hollow tree With fatuity that amounts to little less than prescience, they left their buggy standing directly In the line of the fire. Before they were able to settle any of the details ot the repast, the buggy was on Br. It was still connected with the horses, and contained guns and ammunition enough to fight a battle. Just about this time tin merry hunters got busy. One of the young men, at the risk of being shot by an exploding cartridge, loosened the horses from the buggy and the other, aided by the young women, began their engagement with wild Are. Both girls, true to tradition, whisked off their oversklrts and with them beat the flames. The boys used their coats, and with help from a neighboring farmhouse, th fire was at last uuder control.

WHAT'S THE USE OF SUFFERING AND MAKING THOSE AROUND YOU UN HAPPY WHEN SMITH'S GREEN riOUNTAIN RENOVATOR WILL CURE YOU ? Try it and be convinced we guarantee it to help you. A great many sick people shake their heads in doubt when you recommend a medicine to them. They say they hare tried this and that and it didn't do them any good, and they have lost all faith in medicine. This sounds very well, but how are you going to get around the facts of Smith's Green Mountain Itenovator? How can a medicine be sold over and over again to the same peo ple year after year for a quarter of a century unless it is a good medicine ? Its advertising did not do it. It was advertised only from mouth to mouth until its present owners got hold of it and placed it within the reach of the public at large. If it didn't benefit, people wouldn't buy a second time, and the medicine wouldn't have lasted five years, to say nothing of twenty-five years, right in the locality where it is made and is best known. Up In Northern Vermont when people have blood troubles or any disease or derangement of the liver, stomach or kid neys, they go after Smith's Green Mountain Itenovator and never think of taking anything in place of it. They know it as the great body-builder. They know that it helps the blood by purifying it, and they know that it helps the digestive organs by cleansing them and strengthening them. They also know that people who take this famous medicine have strong muscles and nerves, good complexion, a dear, bright eye and the alertness of youth. Everybody gets "run down" now and then on account of stoppages of the liver, kidneys and bowels wherever impurities get into the blood and make general trouble for the whole sys tem. That is what the trouble is with the men you see who are always complaining. That is what the trouble is with pale, listless women you see all about you.
