ALSO LOOKING FOR SOME PARTY GLORY lesreats of Mate Inlveraltr abmlt Their Klnnnrlnl Report and Also nrconmrnliiiloRi to the Legislature. rrronl a 8ta(T Correspondent.) ' LINCOLN, Dec. 17. (Special.) While re publican members of the stite legislature re figuring out a program and discussing the selection of officials to serve during the session, the report come to Lincoln that the democrat are not Idle, but are lino getting very busy on a program, and their program Is being arranged with an ) to the future. The report is that the democrats Intend to offer bills as soon as possible after the session begins covering practically every plank In the republican platform. Ily this plan they hope to either force., the majority to vote for minority Mils or for the majority to kill the bills. n the tnlxup, however, they hope to get the republicans to fighting among them selves and thus prevent any Important legislation now demanded by the people. Bhould the republican majority pass a minority measure, the democrats two years from now, would claim the credit of any (rood measure passed, or should the ma jority kill a democratic measure that is ound, and then fall to pass a bill equally as good, the democrats again would have good campaign thunder. It has been suggested the only way to head off this contemplated action of the democrats is for the republicans to stand together and select a Joint committee to ret up the bills desired and then to kill the democratic measures should the two parties Introduce measures of the same character Inasmuch aa the people have voted con fidence In the republicans and have selected republicans to carry out the reforms de manded, a well known republican has Suggested that sincere democrats will work with the republicans, appearing before the Committees and making suggestions, but that they will not try to formulate any legislation which the republicans have been elected to enact. Senators Visit Capital. Senator Saunders was in. Lincoln today, Hot on any particular business, he said, but merely because he has the habit of coming often. Mx. Saunders said he Is making Ho active or strenuous campaign to be president pro tern, of the Senate, but is willing to leave Ills case to the senators when they get here. He called at the state bouse and visited a number of the offices. Senator-elect Sackett of Gage county was a Lincoln visitor today. Mr; Sackett has feeen mentioned as a candidate for president Of the senate and was mixing with some ft the Lincoln politicians. lie is dead set to carry out the republican platform pledges and belluves there will be little trouble In passing measuresjconformlng to every plank in the platform. TWo vouchers have been filed with, the Secretary of the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings which will need some explanation before warrants are issued One was filed by It. C. Haverly of the Hastings asylum and endorsed by Superin tendent Kern for JAW. 13, with the following Statement:' Expenses for If. C. Haverly and assistant In taking Andrew Simmons and Joe Selarino, discharged patients, to Ltlca, N. and Scranton, Pa. The other voucher is in favor of Dr. Kern Snd reads as follows: j For returning Edward Cushlng, Inmate Of this hospital, to Chicago, $61.40. ' In this voucher the word "former" ap pears before the word 'inmate," but It is Crossed out by a lead pencil murk.. I3y what authority the asylum sent em ployes with former parents, or discharged patients at the expense of the state Is not shown, though the secretary of state said, it may be possible it would be a saving proposition to the state to get some of the patients out of the hospital by taking thein to some of their relatives. However, the claims will not be allowed until proper ex planation Is made. Talk of Inaugural Hall. Governor-elect George L. Sheldon Is liable to have to undergo some pressure from the society people of Lincoln, who, sonic time ago got Into politics far enough to be on good terms with state officers, about an inaugural ball. Governor Mickey, It will be remembered, refused to permit himself to be danced Into office, as a good Meth odist governor naturally would refuse. The Second luauguratlon of this governor was (narked by a grand march which camt pretty close to turning Into a dance. Gov ernor Sheldon, however, so It Is reported by fcla friends who used to attend the uni Eunhcl's Cocoa if ( UGAR is worth about five cents a pound. 1 he ft ft best cocoa beans are worth about forty cents j II 1 i -t-i i i i - I! 1 1 ly a pound. 1 he cocoa wnicn is sugai t,uaia the manufacturer much less to produce than the package which is not sweetened. When you buy a sweetened cocoa, can't you see that the mater is getting the best of the bargain? When you buy (Strictly ia accordance with the National Pure Food laws.) and weeten it yourself, don't you realize how much more economical it is Runkel's Cocoa is all cocoa, all pure. It has the most fragrant and enticing flavor. It never vane ia quality. It goes furthest without costing more. THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE AND PURITY FOR 35 YEARS. RUNKEL BROTHERS.

RAILROADS SUBMIT TO PROPOSITION Attorney General Drown Agrees to It, Though Ills Candidacy Will lie Ip nt Lincoln. Tho famous Nebraska railroad tax cases which the railroads have been trying per sistently to slave olf will be urgued be fore the United Suite supreme court at Washington Tuesday, January 22. Tlil.i date was agreed upon between Attorney General Norris Brown, representing the state, and Charles J. Greene, special at torney for the Burlington, who was armed with written credentials authorizing him to act for John N. 1'u.ldwln, for the Union Pacific, as well. The agreement was reached yesterday when Mr. Brown was In the oily. The day set January 22 Is the date on which the legislature will ballot for United States senator, an election In which Norris Brown, as the candidate endorsed by the republicans for that office, will be very much Interested. Mr. Brown will be no longer attorney general at that time, but it Is all fixed for him to argue the caso in conjunction with Attorney General Thomp son and carry through as a volunteer the litigation tie has begun as attorney gen eral, rather than give the railroads excuse for another delay. Mr. Brown agreed to be In Washington Instead of at Lincoln on January 22, relying on the republican mem bers of the legislature to cast thetr votes for him in his abxeuce according to the republican nomination. Agreement Incidental. This agreement came up incidentally in connection with Jhe call of the case involv ing Injunction proceedings brought by the i j Pure ElQalt Burlington and Union Pacific to prevent the collection of 1905 and 190U tax levies in the federal court at Omaha. Hy agreement of Mr. Greene and Mr. Brown these cases will He over waiting the decision of the su preme court on the appeal of the 1904 tax cases. Mr. Greene, for the railroads, also stipulated that If the railroads lost In the supreme court on the 1904 taxes they would abide by that decision also for the 1905 and Wii taxes. The state, however, Is not bound to be governed by that decision so far as It is concerned In the 1905 anil 190(i tax cases, because some other elements enter Into those tax levies which did not enter into the f.H levies. Attorney General Brown returned to Lin coln In the evening, expressing himself as satisfied with the status of the enses. I'lratra of i'enzanee.

DRIVER MAKES UNIQUE KICK Complains Because Street tar Tracks Will .Mot Kit Ills Particu lar Wuaon. The driver of a light coal wagon sprung a new one oil the street railway Monday morning. It happened at Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets. Cuming street Is only KJ0 feet wide at that Intersection, so this driver had to drive on the tracks. He got along very nicely until he reached the switch at the Junction of tho car tracks. Here the off front wheel of his wagon connected with the groove and a perma nent, steam-tight Joint was made In a Jiffy. Wagons and street cars and other vehicles collected and some people animadverted on the general cuswedness of a street railway company that would lay a track that couldn't be used by coul wagons of all classes with impunity and in security. Finally a crowbar and some cuss words loosened the clutch of the switch on the tire and all went merrily along their way to Christmas. -Sgggw - sSf""; . .'
