Feb. 28 (Special. -The Btate 1'ress association this morning refused to adopt a resolution endorsing the U-burn rate bill and the stand of the Nebraska delegation In congress on that measure. The resolution was Introduced by 11. M. Wells of Crete and at once A. L. Gale of the Lincoln Star rose to a point of order that the resolution had not been reported to the resolutions committee and there fore the motion was out of order. Presi dent Donovan promptly ruled with Mr. Gala and no discussion followed. Mr. Wells' resolution was as follows: Whereas, President Roosevelt. In his Inaugural address, ably advocated the passage of a bill enlarging the acope and powers of the Interstate Commerce com mission, and. Whereas. In accordance with his recom mendation the bill known as the Hepburn rate bill has been framed, introduced and passed the lower house of congress. Is now pending In the I'nted States senate, and Is a measure which. If enacted Into law, will be of great and lasting benefit to the agrtcutural, stock-raining and shipping In terests of this country, as well as to the general public. It requires publicity: It practically makes Impossible the pernicious rebate system, abolishes favoritism and will Jlvw to the carrier and the carried a square aaJ. The people have no right to ask mora than that; thev should not be con tent to accept less. Therefore, be It Resolved. By the Nebraska Slate Press association that we hereby tender our thanks to every member of congress from Nebraska for his loyal and unswerving amppert of that measure, and we respect fully ask our senators In congress to sup port that bill and to oppose any amend ments which will tend to Incorporate there p. any provisions providing for court review, which will have a tendency to waken Its usefulness or cause long, vexa tloua and needless delay In the settle ment of cases arising between corporations and their pairona, and we call upon our senators to give to the Hepburn bill, or to soma other bill that will be equally efficacious in producing the desired result, their hearty and unanimous support. Resolved. Thst the secretary be tn trtructed to transmit a copy of these reso lutions to each of the congressmen and 1b United Btatea senators from Nebraska, niseaas Railroad Ad vert lalaaT. At the morning session addresses were de tlvered by Richard L. Metcalfe and J. C. geacrest. These two talked about the rail road advertising quritlon. the former tak ing the "business office view" and the latter the "editorial room view." Mr. Met calfe departed from his subject long enough . to take a few pokes at broken down poli ticians who allow the newspapers to do the things which are for the benefit of the people and then claim the credit for It and run for office on what the newspaper has lone, while the editor couldn't get any office, no matter what it is. At the afternoon session La.fe Young of JDes Moines lectured on "Newspapers of the Osient." In his address Mr. Toung departed from his subject and gave a his tory of his recent trip wtih the Taft party, which was full of humorous Incidents as yrnli as good Information After the session the members of the vsaoclation visited the state farm.

President CsJklna of the 8tatee Bar asso ciation has invited all lawyers of the state to meet In Lincoln March 7 to discuss tha Buxkett bill creating a new federal district for tha South Platte country, and at the same time should the bill be passed to rec ommend a lawyer for Jude of the new district. At the last session of the supreme court tha executive committee of the bar associa tion, acting upon a petition which had been lgned by numerous lawyers, decided to re quest tha president to call the meeting. By Linoola politicians the meeting is be- Who's the Man in the Heart? i..V .rVv The great kind heart the heart that beats in sympathy with the masses THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. 1 People Kits How tsefal It Is la Preaertlac Health ! Beaaty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient dlalnfectant and purifier in nature, but few realise its value taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Chsrcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; it Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Im purities always present In tha stomach and Intestines and carries them out of ths system. Charcoal sweetens tha breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; It disinfects tha mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting locenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these Ictenges will soon tell In a much Improved ccndltlon xf the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician tn speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: I advise Stuart's Charcoal Losengea to alt patients suffering from gas tn stomach and bowels, and to clear th complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat: I also believe tha liver Is greatly ' benefited by the-dally use of them; they ccst but 15 cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get mora and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Loxenges than In any of ths ordinary char coal tableta." lieved to be for the purpose of heading off Tom Munger, who has the endorsement of Senator Burkett and for whom the office Is to be created. Mr. Munger said he had heard of ttae meeting, but he did not know jet whether he would attend. "I believe It Is not a concerted action to oppose anyone," he said, "but merely a mass meeting to get the sentiment of the lawyers of the state. Every lawyer will act a chance to express himself for or against the bill, and each will have an op portunity to say who he prefers for Judge." (Irasd Island Bonds Legal. The etfO.OtO bond issue voted by the city of Grand Island for the erection of a high school has been declared legal by Attorney General Brown, who has recommended to the auditor that he register the bonds. By those who opposed the issue it was as serted the board had authorised the elec tion without waiting for a petition signed by one-third of the voters. The other side asserted the law specified the election could be called by a vote of two-thirds of the board. One section of the statutes so pro vides and the legal department held ths law was good.

A i goeclal. ) The republicans of Buffalo county met here today In mass convention snd adopted reso lutions endorsing Hon. Norris Brown for the L'nlled States senate. The meeting wss held in the cltv hsll. which was literally packed Hon N P McDonald presided. Delegations Were pres ent from Gibbon. Shelton and all osrts of Buffalo county. The meeting was highly enthusiastic throughout. Addresses were made by the following persons: N. P. Mc Donald. Prof. C. A. Murch. C. H. Gregg, E. C. Calkins. J. F. Crocker. Judge F. (. Hamer. Prof. Hayward H. C. Andrews. Cantata 8. H. Blark. Joseph Owen, J. E. Harris. 8. C. Bassett. Oscar Kdoi. Jams H. Davis. Judge H. M. 8lnclair, M. A. Brown. The committee on resolutions con sisted of N.

That we herehv i e hereby unqualifiedly endorse the ofTUisl artji of liu.rnu . :.' eral Norris Brown and pledge him our unanimous and leval support in his candi dacy for the L'nlted States senste; thst we commend him as a man faithful and con scientious In the discharge of public duties, loyal to the principles of the party he rep resents, and worthy of the confidence and support or tne people ol the state. Qaallflrmtloaa for Plae. E. C. Calkins, regent of the University of Nebraska, spoke as follows: To us who are his neighbors th.r. m-m be in his election a double satisiactlon satisfaction in the fact that he is our friend and neighbor and a greater and more abundant satisfaction in the knowledge that is especially equipped for an efficient discharge of the responsible duties of that nonoreq omce. Ever since he met and held with even hand the cleverest and most effective stunm speaker that ever canvassed Nebraska for votes tnere nas oeen no doubt of his foren sic ability and power to meet in debate and on equal terms the ablest public speak ers. In the art of seeing what his hearers saw, of feeling what they felt, and giving voice to their emotion William L. Greene was unsurpassed. He spun the thread of fallacy around their wavering thought and touched with master hand the chords of hope and fear, of love and hate, of sym pathy and passion, and swept them off their intellectual feet with a torrent of eloquence and emotion. When Norris Brown went out to meet this Goliath of debate there were some who feared for his success, but the Sixth district well knows and will long re member with what patient skill he unwound the web of sophistry and with what quick resource and ready art he constructed with simple truth and plain logic the barrier that withstood the floods of eloquence and passion. But it is not aione as a debater and a lawyer that Norris Brown has distinguished himself. Probably no man could meet suc cess In either capacity without a compre hensive knowledge of political questions and the affairs of state, and he has shown in his public addresses an extended crann of political history and an insight Into public questions which rounds out 'and completes his qualifications fur the office rot which we support him. . Prof. C. A. Murch of the State Normal school addressed tha meeting as follows: I am for Norris Brown because as pri vate citlsen or public official, he has al ways done his best, and, I may add, it has always been a mighty good best. 1 am for Norris Brown because he be longs in that group of American citizens with red blood in their veins and brains under their hats, who get things done and dene right LaKollette. Jerome, Folk, an.l that American citlsen and man, Teddy Rc-osevelt, Knows rrdi of the State. Hon. Samuel E. Bassett, former state bend commissioner, said: It Is not alone enough that the man chosen to represent the people is willi:nr to serve the people, is anxious to serve the people. In order to properly serve the people he must know the people, their wishes, their desires, their ways of living and mode of thought, their resources, thi difficulties that hedge them about, in order to be helpful In lessening those difficulties or entirely removing them. It goes without saying that he should be a man of honesty and integrity, having the full confidence of the people; but he should also be a growing man. a prCgrer sive man, for Nebraska Is a growing and progressive state, a stste with untold re sources yet undevelopxi, and only such a man ca.n keep step with, can keep abrea.it of the rapid march of ever ts which affect our Interests both as a state and a na tion. Such a man is Norris Brown, in whose interests we have this day assem bled. Less than six years ago he was ap pointed deputy attorney general, and so well and faithfully did he perform the duties Incumbent upon him that he was the unanimous choice of his party as candi date for attorney general, to which office he was elected at the last general election. As attorney general he became not only the legal adviser of the people of the state, but the defender of their tights as well. Questions arose involving not only large financial interests, but principles of vitsl importance to all the people of the state, questions which involved the rights of the people as against the organized greed and graft of a few individuals. In all forms of government, whether It be local, state or national, there is no more important principle involved than the right to leyy and collect taxes for the support of the government, for the revenues thus collected are the life-blood of the govern ment. The attorney general was called upon to defend the revenue laws of the state, tn determine that In the valuation snd assessment of property and the collec tion of taxes the corporations had the same rights, the same privileges, no more, no 3C TAILOR-MADE VS.
