former. The smaller ef th two bandits,
he said, did most of the talking and the
witness had recognised lievl'a voice when
he was confronted with him at the city
Jail. Pressed a in him ability to positively
Identify young Levi, the witness said. "He
could have been the man and yet might not
have been. I would not care to swear posi
tively that he was, but In the best of my
judgment, he was.'
Harry Neeley, the second witness, was
more positive Jn his Identification of Levi
and more than once during his testimony
referred to the smaller of the two bandits
lvl. Hla stnry of the Incidents of tho
holdup was substantially the same as that
of the preceding witness. Neeley testified
thst up to about six yara ago he and Levi
had gnne to school together. Xeeley was
robbed of 50 cents during the holdup and he
was emphatic In his declaration that Lavi
resembled the man who went through the
pockets of his overalls and secured the
money. would not swear positively, but
it looked like him," the witness stated when
pressed on the question of his ability to
Identify Levi. The witness also testified to
being In Harden s aaloon. the night Levi
was released from the rlty Jail, after his
first arrest, when It Is contended Levi called
to see Hardc-h and offered to pay $X to
square the matter. That thla offer was
made by Levi waa not brought out In
Keeley's cross examination, but was re
ferred to by Neeley's attorney In explain
ing to the court his reason for putting a
certain queatlon which was objected to by
the county attorney.
The defense, It Is understood, will en

DEADLOCK 0NJTHE RATE BILL
Democrat! Members ( Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Agreement to
vote On a railroad rate bill tomorrow in
the senate committe on interstate com
merce Is an Issue that neither fsctlon oa
the question of Judicial review of orders
of the Interstate Commerce commisslou
seems Inclined to force. Neither knows
the strength of the other and democratic
members of the committee are unquestion
ably the balance of power. Kelthcr of the
republican factions has Issued a format
statement setting forth the differences, but
the democrats In an authorised statement
from Senator Bailey have made It clear
that ah "adequate bill" must be reported
or tho minority will have a measure of
Its own. In this statement, however, it
Is admitted that the democrats are di
vided on the question of Judicial review.
The members of the committee Insisting
upon an amendment to the house bill
Senators Elkins, Aldrich, Koraker, Kean
and Crane do not believe the amendments
providing for any change In the court fea
tures of the bill can be voted upon to
morrow. Senators Dolliver and Clapp, the
champions of the house bill in Its present
form, are not disposed to Insist upon
vote. They desire to have Senator Cullom
paired against the amendment, but the
conservative faction will not permit this.
If the vote Is postponed, as seems likely,
Senator Cullom may return to Washing
ton before a vote Is taken. Different re
ports are circulated concerning hia posl
tlon, the conservatives admitting the claim
that he Is against an amendment that
would suspend, an order of the. commis
sion pending In the courts, but insisting
that he Is not opposed to a more moderate
amendment.
The positions will be outlined clearly to
morrow, even though a vote is not ob
tained.
Lata tonight It was stated that so far
no agreement haa been reached on any
amendment, despite the fact that numerous
conferences have been held during the day
between the president, members of the
cabinet and the senators to prepare a com
promise draft. Senator Aldrich, Senator
Allison and Secretary Taft conferred with
the president today concerning the alleged
necessity of an amendment providing for
judicial review. The secretary of war haa

hounced' today that he would like to se
the amendment to be proposed and to
sibmlt It to the attorney general before he
endorses any proposition to amend the

Senator Bailey, who is the minority floor
leader in the absence of Senator Gorman,
today explained the attitude of democratic
senators. . He said that If a bill Is pre
emeu oy tne republlcana which In the
opinion of the democrats Is adequate to
meet the demands of the situation, the
democrats both on the committee and In
the senate, will support it. In tho event

The Texas senator says that If no adequate

it may be said that in any bill presented

The third annual meeting of the Second
district of the Ncbracka Federation of
Women's Clubs, held In Omaha Monday,
waa altogether profitable, and Indicates
that, with a little more experience and time.
It will be possible for Nebraska to give up
the annual for the biennial convention, as
Iowa and some of the older and stronger
states are doing. The district organisation
has much to work out before It will be
ready for this. At present the responsibil
ity of the program falls largely. If not en
tirely, upon the district vice president. If
the district meeting Is to take the place of
the alternate annual convention, this plan
ill be among the first that It will be nec
essary to change. No matter how compe
tent the vice president nlsy be, or how
widely familiar with the needs and Inter
ests of her district, no one person should
be entrusted with the entire responsibility
of the program. There should be a program
committee, and. first of all. the Interests
of the several state standing committees
should be consulted In making up the pro
gram. It is a question whether one day will
then be sufficient for a serious, worthy con
sideration of alt these, but It could be ac
complished In two days easily and leave
time for the other desirable subjects and
embellishments. If the meetings come bi
ennially, the work of the general federa
tion should be seriously considered, and
certainly all matters pertaining to the state
work should be thoroughly discussed and
understood by every woman present. That
Is quite possible under the present arrange
ment but such a responsibility would be
rather a hardship for the vice president.
Ample time should be allowed, however, for
the presentation of state matters and noth
ing should be allowed to encroach. The
fact that the state business was not more
fully discussed was the one regrettable fea
ture of Monday's convention. It hsd been
planned evidently that the round table con
ducted by the state president should ac
complish this, but many of the women were
timid and the latitude of which the subject
admitted, 'How the Stale Federation Can
Help the Club, and How the Club Can Help
the Federation." resulted in considerable
random talk, while if the several subjects
It was desired to discuss had been presented
topically there would have been no waste
of time In bringing definite discussion. Un
der the direction of Mra. Charles Selleck of
Blair club Interest and work In the Second
district have flourished this year and Mon
day's meeting waa at once a credit to Its
chairman and the organisation.
The new directory of Women's Clubs -f
America, Issued recently by Miss Helen
Wlnslow, shows nearly 5,ono clubs in the
GeneVal Federation. Every state and tfr-
rltory In the United States except Vir
ginia and Alabama, Nevada and New
Mexico have state organisations, but each
of these have Individual clubs affiliated
with the General Federation. Foreign or
ganisations affiliated, including two clubs
in London and one each In Shanghai.
Honolulu, Bombay. Colombo (Ceylonl,
Saltillo (Mexico), Ponce (Porto P.lcoi.
Santiago (Chill), and . Peru and West
Australia. rrspccti-ely. Alaska has four
flourishing clubs, all affiliated and located
at Sitka, Nome and Skaguay.
A jtew departure of the Denver Woman's
club Is a special school for boys and girls
In the department stores of that city. Ac
cording to press reports the classes are
being arranged with retorence to children
who have left the grammar grades and are
still not fully equipped to meet business
requirements. In arithmetic, spelling, read
ing and writing. - One largo store has a
school of Its own and several others have
expressed appreciation of the classes, es
tablished by the club, and are arranging
to send their young employes in relays
during the morning hours. The committee
hopes to Induce all the stores to follow
suit.
Under the title of "The Remonstrance,"
the Massachusetts Association Opposed to
Further Extension of Suffrage to Women,
has Issued its annual protest. The pamph
let gives a list of eight state organisations
that believe the majority of , women do
not want the ballot and that to force it
upon them would be not only an injustice
to women, but would lessen their Influ
ence for good and Imperil the community."
The greater part of the two sheets Is de
voted to press clippings derogatory to th
suffrage movement. The municipal strength
of this opposing organisation la not men
tioned, but It Includes but eight state and
two city organisations in its list of the
opposing force.
Of the' sixty-two students recently

1 Immediately after my

severe bearing-down pains,
fearful backache and fre

prescribed for me, yet I did
not impmve. I would bloat
after eating, and froauntly

pains down through my li nbs to I could
hardly walk. It was a had a rasa of female
trouble aa I have ever known. Lydia K.
Finkhams WgotAhle Compound, however,
eared me within fur month, flince that
time I hav had occaaioa to recommend it to
a nnmter of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties, and I And that
while it is co.niiiered unprofessional to rec
ommend a patent medicine, I ran honestly
recommend I.ydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, for I have found that it cures
, female ills, where all other medicine fails. It
' ia a grand medicine for nick women."

When rromen are troubled with ir

bloating (or flatulence), general debili

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

No other female medicine in the
world has received such widespread

The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to see. The money which they pay to

enormous waste. The pain is cured
