, LINCOLN, March 31. (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

done the most effective work In the cause
of temperance during the campaign. Twice

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."

Loeal Taleat Does 'Well.
'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. The Inspector's sphere of Inquiry
and Inspection will be general and Include
tvery branch of military affairs of the
company, and such Inspection will be con
ducted la accordance with the rules of the
I'nlted States army. 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

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

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. It Is expected that
pinions In several cases of extraordinary
mportanoe will be handed down at ad
journment, but as In the past the hopes
of attorneys and litigants In this regard
may not be realised. 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.
The latter la the action which Involves

Reports of state and private banks In the

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

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.

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. One stack
ot hay, valued at $60; on buggy, valued at
$75; four guns, no value fixed; buggy robes
wraps, ammunition, lunch and overskirts,
on which no estimate of value has been
made, make up the loss. The hunters ant,
huntressea walked home.

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.
If you belong to this class, you can't get Smith Green
Mountain Itenovator in too quickly.
We urge you to try it and we guarantee it.
If it doesn't benefit you you can have your money back.
