(Special. ) Conven tion time In tfr .wing n r ar.d many of the counties and i. arly all of the six congrea tonal districts have ret their dates. March 17 the Sixth will meet at Alliance, and on the same, day the Third will Tie busy at Columbus. M :rch U Is the First district date and Lincoln the place, ar.d on the next day the Fourth will meet at York. P.e Bldes nominating a congressional candidate, and so far as heard from every c nj;rc-s-mn In the district;' named will succeed himself, the eon ventlons will each select delegates to the national convcntlnn. The counties nre also whooping- things up In the convention line and today York lined up. March 9 cornea tho Thayer conv n tlon and on the 12th v. Ill be held the I'olk county powwow. The list filed at republican state he id quarters shows these dates fur county con ventions: Boyd county March 12 T.nncnster county March li Richardson county M.,rrh 17 Otoe county March 1J Nemaha county Mnrch 18 Hun rulers county March 18 Hamilton county Murch 19 Jefferson county March 19 Johnson county March 13 Cass county March 19 Fillmore county March 21 Hurt county Inarch a Otiro county .1 Mmch22 Red Willow county .April 2 Franklin county May 7 Wheeler county May 7 Talk of Constitutional Convention. While the republicans of the state nre discussing candidates to be nominated by tho state convention to bo held on May 18 the uueetlon of holding a constitutional convention continues to bob up. In the call for the statj convention no mention la made of the constitutional coyventlon, though the convention can endorse or re fuse to endorse If it sees fit. The late legislature adopted a Joint resolution calling for a constitutional convention and whether not It will bo held will be decided by the voters this fall and possibly the repub lican state convention will take some action In the matter. While Uttlo talk so far has been hear 1 regarding the matter, sentiment Is divided. Some think that a constitutional convention would only be an unnecessary expense to accomplish something that could be done by constitutional amendments at a much leas cost to the state. The last legislature made It possible for constitutional amend ments to be placed at the head of the ticket, and If endorsed by a party a straight party vote would be a vote for the amend ment. Because of thla It is not unlikely that amendments to the constitution could be carried. A constitutional convention wouTd cost the state about as much as a session of the legislature, and with the state debt out of all reason at this time It Is probablo that the taxpayers will do con siderable thinking before going into a con stitutional convention.

FREMONT. Neb., March 3. (Special Tele gram.) The dead body of -Lee Roberts was recovered this afternoon from the Ice about . . ri!n from the bank of the Platte river. near .mes. Death was evidently caused by cold nnd exposure. Finding his way to tie mainland cut off he had apparently divested himself of coat and boots and at tempted to swim to the north side, hut was unable to do so on account of the told and floating Ice. Then strutting back to the Island and being unable t-j attract any one's attention he perished from the cold and exposure. His gun lay across his body. The body was discovered late yusterday afternoon, but on account of the masses of floating Ice It was Impossible to recover It Thla morning It was In the same place nnd It was Anally reached by means of a bont. Roberts went out hunting alone WedneFday afternoon, going toward the river. As he did not return Wednesday night his friends became alarmed, fearing that he was on some Inland and unable to get ashore. It was only after two days' search that tho body was found on the solid Ice, clad 1n blue overalls and a heivy Jacket. By the aid of a glass his features could be plainly distinguished. Roberts was about 36 years of age. He had been in the employ of the Standard company and had worked for different farmers near Ames for several years, hut was very "etlcent about himself, and noth ing Is known of his relatives. There Is nothing among his personal effects to give any clew to them, lie is believed to have come here from Ottumwa. la. Waters Subside Slowly. Enst of town . the water Is subsiding slowly, but stllt covers thousands of acres. The bridge at Valley Is reported gone nnd a span or two out of that nt North Ilend. No heavy loss has been reported except that of Nick Schrelner, but the damage to the country between Mercer and Fremorft and to the north of Mercer will be heavy. Many people vlltcd the top of the court house today to see the flood. The Ice and water extend over the tracks of the Union Pacific from the C. E. Mayne ranch to within two or three miles of Fremont, and with the aid of a glass It could be seen that the currant which did run to the north was stationary. In the vicinity there are quantities of ice. To the north of the rail road and along the Omaha road the r roves and form houses stand out like Islands, which they are.' To the east on the Lone Tree road seven or eight miles out there is the grayish white mass of Ice and water. The railroad track to the stock yards and old packing house is free of ice and water, and north of the yards there Is water, but no ice. South and west of town the water has gone down and the Flatte Is in its channel. The Platte liver bridge can be crossed and Is uninjured. Should the weather be warm there will be mors dam age southeast of town, and It le impossible for the water from the east to reach the city. The gorge at Mercer extends west about three miles and shows no signs of breaking up. The rural mall earner on the Elkhorn route was only able to reach a part of the patrons of Ihe effloe today. Sehrelner's Joss will reach $10,000. C. Chrlstofferson loses hogs, fences and sheds and the entire loss in that part of the country will reach well up Into the thou sands. Conditions Near Taller. VALLEY. Neb., March 5. (Special Tele gram.) High water In the Platte river Is causing much damage above Valley. There Is little water here and the new Platte river bridge Is safe. Between Mercer and Fre mont probably a mile of Union Pacific track has been washed out and water is flowing from the Platte into the Elkhorn river. At Waterloo the water is high and con ditions are said to be serious. Many houses of farmers are completely surrounded. The report of the destruction of a bridge at Mercer la a mistake, as there has been no bridge at that place. XAmmmu Train Service. BEATRICE, Neb., March . Special.)

The stomach, how ever, always makes it a point to get well when It has nothing else to do. That's what stomachs always have done and will continue to do when they have the oppor tunlty. A prominent Detroit physician says: "I prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for all oases of stomach trouble. I have tried many prescriptions, including a number of my own, but find nothing that gives such universal relief aa this renydy.
