The Whedon resolution then carried. Later Walter Anderson moed that the dele gation be Instructed for Secretary Taft for second choice, but Inasmuch as the dele gates endorsed had already expressed them- . selves as being In favor of Taft, little effort was made to carry the amendment, C O.

In his speech of acceptance of the en dorsement for delegate-at-large Judge Field said among other things: Nothing would be more satisfactory to ma fhan to havs President Roosevelt ac cept the nomination for another term. When President RooseveU announced that he was In accord with the statement ex pressed by Washington, who refused a third term, as being not in the best in terest of the country, he meant It; when he repeated It I believe he meant It; I be lieve Roosevelt never made a statement to th publlo that he did .not mean. I be lieve this is not paying a high compliment to such a man when he pointed to a mem ber of his cabinet and said he should ba my successor. K. P. Brown was selected chairman of tha convention without opposition. Tha following resolutions were adopted: Whereas. Tha full and complete auccess of the public policies Inaugurated during tha administration of Theodore Roosevelt seem to require that they be finished by tha masterful spirit that conceived and commenced them.

T The following la Dr. Palmer's reply to the clergyman: ' Reverend Sir: I take pleasure In replying to yours of February 21st, addressed to Rov. asking for my standing as a physician and citizen. Yes, the testimonial I have given the Duffy Malt Whiskey Company is gen uine. I am not a practising physician at the present time, but I am a grad uate of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, class 1876, and if you will pardon me, I will say, without egotism that I can get anything I wish at any mercantile house either In this place or Union City (our county town) on credit, if I wish, though I generally pay cash. As to my commercial stand ing, I refer you to the Commercial Bank of Union City. I am a married man, have five chll dren, two of whom are girls. I belong to the Christian Church, and am a strong temperance man. On the tem perance question you and I differ only as to the means to attain the end. Now let me tell you why I happened to write this testimonial. A year ago I was threatened with grave stomach trouble from an incipient inflamma tion. I tried a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, taking a tablespoonl'ul, heavily diluted with water, before each meal. It made me well. I wrote the Duffy Malt Whiskey Company and they asked my permission to uso the DR. T. P. PALMER testimonial. 1 tnen wrote me leaumu- nlal above referred to and gave my permission to use it. In conclusion I will say, I pay $41.99 taxes each year; have never been arm-ted, nor have I at at any time or Hace, directly or indirectly, been engaged in the liquor trai flc. With kind feeling towards you, I am, most respectfully, your brother. T. P. PALMER, Rives, Tenn. j '. , .J ... :. Nw J I - .

The Missouri l'aclfic freo pass list whereby It permits twenty doctors and seventeen lawyers in Nebraska to ridu free in return for their services to the road has been witiidrawn and the attorney general will not prosecute elthei the ruad or ths pass holders. i Notification was received through long distance telephone this morning by the railroad commission from Bailey P. Wag- gener, general counsel for the road, that this course will be pursued. The railroad commissioners feel this is a virtual ac ceptance of the provisions of the antl-pasa law 'and will not push prosecution of the pavsholdcrg or the donating road. Position of tha I'nlon Paclflc. KiIhoii Rich, counsel for the Union Pacific road, was here from Omaha this morning to talk over pass matters with the com missioners. He said the surgeons and law yers of the Union Pacific were paid ' a monthly salary and were regarded as em ployes. He could not see lila way clear to advising a withdrawal of the transportation at this time. Mr. Rich talked over the right of mana gers of stock yards along the line to use free transportation. These yards are gen erally constructed by the railroad and managed by personsin the various towns who own feed yards or control grass patches along the right-of-way. The man agers are entitled to the right to use passes under the road's interpretation of the law. The question has been put up to the board on several previous occasion i, but no definite decision has yet been reached. Regent Whitmore of Valley, was here to day and he told the railroad commissioners that his sole busbicss aside from his duties as regent was to, -manage the stock yards at Valley, Grand Island and North Platte. He thought he should have the privilege of using transportation. I lie question was referred to the attorney general for a legal opinion. ' Issuance of Traction Stock. An answer was filed by the Lincoln Trac tion company today to the complaint of City Attorney John M. Stewart that the Lincoln Street Railway companies were about to increase their stock. The Lincoln Traction company denied this to be the case and said the complaint should be dismissed as to them. The Citisens" Street iiallway company ' also filed answer, denying the Judisdlctlon of the board and claiming that the officers of the company drew no salaries and this Intended issue of stock was proper.

Kidney diseases are very treacher ous. They come on silently, gain ground - rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pro vented by treatment In the beginning. Nature gives early warnings of every disease If you would but note and heed them. Backache, twinges of pain when stooping or lifting, headaches, faint spells and urinary disorders are among the first warnings of kidney trouble. If these signals are unheeded, there , ccmes a steady, dull, heavy aching In tha back and loins, a noticeable ' weakness and loss of flesh, rheumatic , attacks, weakening of the sight. Ir regular heart action, languor, attacks of gravel, Irregular passages of the V kidney secretions, sedlmeut, painful, ' scalding sensation, dropsical bloating, etc But there Is no need to suffer long. Doan's Kidney Pills ere all kidney troubles. This remedy has made a reputation for quick relief and lasting 1 ZSri "Tells , PS&rx itor,:" cures. It Is a simple compound of pure roots and herbs that have a direct uction on the kidneys. It was tho secret 76 years ago of an old Quaker lady. It was given to the pub lic by James Doan, a druggist, and is now known and recommended the whole world over. Home cures prove tfhe value of Doan's Kidney Pilla to our readers. OMAHA frlOOFa Mrs. Bohlmann. 1913 Oak St., Omaha, Xeb., says: "Since Doan's Kidney Tills cured me of kidney trouble sev eral years ago there has never been a re-turn of the complaint. A severe cold which I contracted settled in my kid neys and caused these organs to be- onie disordered. My back ached a t,reat deal and as time passed my con dition became more serious. I was But tering severely when Doan's Kidney rills were brought to my attention and believing that they might help me, 1 started their tine. They promptly eliminated the trouble.
