met aad DUrstrr They Made Same
Mistake Slight ( Berge
Likely Be'Castly.
i From a Staff Correspondent.
LINCOLN. Jan. 1. tSpet lal.-Senator
Norris Brown. In a letter to W. B. Rose,
written January 11. has the following to
say about his position concerning the press
reports relating to his being a delegate
to the national convention:
I am very much Interested In the Taft
movement, but am not to be consld"red aa
aspirant for the position of delecatn
to the national convention. Of course, if
the honor were tendered roe I would be
pleased to accept. I make no claim that
such honor Is due me and anv aetlnn the
republicans of 'Ts'ebraska may tAke In the
Selection of delegates to the national con
vention will meet with my api'mval. I am
rnr Tart for the following reasons:
1. He Is a big. 1ralnv. courageous man
and a friend of the people.
. He Is the onlv avowed candidate
pledged (n the open to carry out the pro
gram of the Roosevelt administration.
3. The enemies of the administration are
at work to defeat him.- At present .they
re T'Kiiunr no one else.
4. We must be with the orestdnnt and his
friends In the fieht they are making or
else be counted against them so far as re
sults r concerned.
Democrats Taking; Stock,
Democrats ' w ho control the party In
Nebraska In the interest of Colonel Bryan
have been casting up among themselves
today to see whether the dollar banquet
of last night was really tt- success. That
and the committee meeting held yester
day. The idea of the organization of the
Bryan Volunteers originated with Mr.
Bryan himself, so one of the speakers
said. It was a sop held out to the popu
lists by the Bhallenberger democrats to
make them believe they were really cut
ting some figure In democratic politics and
to secure the co-operation of those pop
ulists who have nothing In common with
the democratic party as now Organized In
the state. By getting Thomas It. Tibbies,
the old war horse populist. In the lime
light, these democrats expect to keep
their clutches on the entire populist
party. They trrcd to work George W.
Berge the same way, but instead tliey
only succeeded In slighting their former
gubernatorial candidate. They offered to
permit him to speak for five minutes, as
they did Mayor , Dahlman and Colonel
Dibbles, but Berge objected to taking a
crum when he might as well have been
on the speakers' list, as his opponent, A. C.
Shallenberger, was the toastmaster. Bergi
would have talked the five minutes Just
the same, but the toastmastetr did not
give him an opportunity, at least until
Mr. Bryan had finished, and then not a.
speaker In Nebraska could have held the
crowd. Tho only excuse so far suggested
for the slight of Berge Is that the Shall
enberger democrats were afraid to permit
the former pop to have an opportunity rc
address such an immense audience. Th
democrats are ndw wondering If they cat
depend upon Berge to force the populist
to send a delegation to the national pop
ulist convention pledged to Bryan for th
populist nomination or to bolt the con
vention, i
funds for Bryan Campaign.
During; the evening cards were sent
around for the banqueters to sign if they
desired to become members of the Bryan
Volunteers. The signer pledges himself t
pay to the treasurer of the club (5 by
February 1 and $5 by August 1. Chalrmas
Tom Allen reported this afternoon thai
300 signatures were r-ecured. The money
Is to be used to help Bryan carry Ne
braska. The committee which got up tin
scheme was composed of Arthur Mulles
of O'Nell; A. C. Shallenberger of Alma;
D. V. Stephens of Fremont; P. E. McKil
llp of Humphrey, and George Rogers of
Omaha. ,
Another thing the democrats will have
to explain to their brethren Is the ex
clusion of ttie democrats of fifteen or
twenty counties from participating In a
primary to select delegates to tho stite
convention. The committee provld-'d that
upon the application of fifty voters the
county chairman should order a primary
election held to select delegates. Ina
number of the smaller counties the con
tests over the selection of delegates to
conventions Ik Just aa warm as in larger
counties, but they were denied a chance
to vote for whom they pleased by tho
committee which heralded its primary or
der as piece of most 'virtuous work.
In some of the below named counties it
will be Impossible to hold a primary,
while in others It will take the unanimous
vote of the democrats to secure a primary
because of the small vote cast and of
the large number of signers it takes to
get the county chairman to set. In 1904
the vote for Parker in these counties
was as follows: Loup, 23; McPherqon,
12; Perkins. 67; Rock, 138; Scott's Bluff,
103; Sheridan, 173; Sherman, 140; Sioux,
111; Thomas, 3: Wheeler, 6(; Banner,
18; Blaine. 34; Dundy, !; Garfield. 84;
Grant. 4; Hayes, 10; Hooker, 22; Keith.
4; Keya Paha, 7; Kimball, 14; Logan,
12. The matter is of Importance to
show how the democrats talk contrasted
with how they perform.
In discussing the banquet, one democrat
said It was not as enjoyable aa the ban
quet given when Bryan returned from
abroad. In his estimation the speeches
we're entirely too long, with the exceptton
of two, that of Bryan himself and that
of Henry Warrum of Indiana, who was
"Just a volunteer." A number of demo
crats objected seriously to sitting through
several hours of talk to hear Mr. Bryan.

"Something that Mayor Dahlman Is
credited with saying recently about Gov
ernor Johnson seemed to be a trifle out of
place at this time," said a personal friend
of the Minnesota governor today. "What
tha democratic party does, or leaves un

Cooper's Views-of Human Stomach

regard to L T. Cooper's theory that the
human stomach Is responsible for most
ill health. Tbe article Is as follows:
"The astonishing sale of Cooper's prep

such Immense figures that the. medical
fraternity have been forced Into open dis

"The physicians seem to be divided
with regard to the young man's success
In New Orleands some being willing to
credit him for what he has accomplished,
while others assert that the Interest he
has aroused Is but a passing fad that will

Word has been received by the grain
dealers of Omaha of the filing of e. suit by
the Sioux City Commercial club against
the Mllwaukeo railroad company to coniel
that company to put 1n effect to that city
the Missouri river grain rates which It
alleges were promised before two terminal
elevators were built at Sioux City.
Trio resolution passed by the Bloux City
dub. Instructing its attorneys to filo the
complaint before the Interstate Commerce
commission demands that such rates be
put In effect as are effivtive.lnto and out
of Omaha and other competitive points, and
to reduce the local rates on the lines of tho
Milwaukee to tho same "per ton per mile"
basis as applies from stations thereon to
Omaha and Minneapolis.
It Is claimed that a high traffic official
of the Milwaukee road, having authority
to make such an agreement, promised July
10. 19U6. that the Milwaukee road would
grant the same rates as are In effe-t for
Omaha, if the terminal elevators with
located at Sioux City. It is claimed the
company has not refused flatly to carry
out the agreement.
The case Is of special interest to Omaha
grain dealers, but It Is the opinion of many
dealers Interested In both Sioux City ard
Omaha that the establishment, of a mar
kept on the Missuort fiver loo miles above
Omaha cannot divert any of the (rain
coming to this market.
Omaha's position in a psr( of South
Dakota cannot be challenged nor changed,
say the grain men, and Bioux City will get
only grain which Is now moving to Chi
cago direct. xr to the Twin Cities aud
Duluth. They declare tbey hope 8loux City
succeeds In establishing market, as the
time has come when the primary grain
markets should be ton the Missouri river
and the rapid growth f the Omaha mar
ket supports their claim.

THEORY
brought to my attention concerning this
Cooper medicine have gone far toward re
moving the prejudice I had formed
against them when I first heard of Coop
er's new ideas and medicines.
" 'Numbers of my patients whom I
have treated for chronic liver, kidney and
stomach troubles have met me and stated
thaCooper'a medicine haa accomplished
wonderful results for them. I notice par
ticularly In cases of stomach trouble that
the man has relieved seversl cases that
were of years' standing and proved very
obstinate to treatment.
" 'I do not wish to stand In tha way of
something that may be for the public
good, simply through professional preju
dice, and I am Inclined to give Cooper and
his preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstration
that has been accorded them In this
city.'" , ' , .
We sell the Cooper medicines. They are
proving remarkably successful through
out the entire United Htales Beaton
