L.TNCOLN. Jlarch 7. (Special.) Tho
revolutions passed by the republican con
tention of Merrick county, which have been
Certified to the republican state committee,
fllffer considerably from tho report of the
convention as published In a Lincoln news-paper-
In the account of the convention
proceeding It waa stated that a resolution
was Introduced commendatory to W. T.
Thompson, attorney cvneral, which was
lost In the nhuffle. The following resolu
tion was certified to the state committee
ts having been adopted by the convention:
It Is with considerable pride that we call
attention to the record of Attorney Gen
eral Thompson. He has had many new and
untried problems to fiure.. The InjU legis
lature entered many new fields of corpor
ate regulation and responsibility, and the
first Interpretation and enforcement of
these measures has fallen upon the depart
ment of which Mr. Thompson Is at tha
head. He has prosecuted a multitude of
suits with vigor and success, and Merrlok
county republicans aj-e .proud of the dis
tinction he lias won for his atate and his
county.
The matter of the committee selected
delegates to the state convention- from
Platte county was reported to the attorney
general for an opinion of the legality of
the action of the committee. Mr. Thomp
son refused to give an 1 opinion In the
matter unless the request Is made by the
county attorney.
Bis; Attendance Anticipated.
"Nate" Titus, former member of the re
publican state committee from Nemaha
county, was In Lincoln today and called
upon Governor Sheldon. "I believe the
republican state convention will be largely
attended, but It Is going to bo a rather
tame affair. I look for the selection of
Governor Bheldon, Victor Rosewater and
Senator Brown as throe of the delegates-at-large.
In fact, I have heard of no op
position to either of them, and as there
are no other candidates talked of, their
election, In my estimation, is assured. The
convention, of course, will be for the nomi
nation of Secretary Tatt and will so In
struct the delegates."

ing the appropriation of $15, MX) us tho law
provided. Secretary of State Junkln be
lieves the cottage is, not needed, but the

Accountant's Report Erroneous.
The report of State Accountant Fair
field to the effect that no invoice had
been taken of the store room at the Insti
tute for the'Feeble Minded Youth at Beat
rice when the Institution was turned over
to Its present superintendent, is in Vrror.
On file in th'i office of oGvernor Sheldon
and also on file In the office of the secre
tary of state, are copies of that Invoice
taken wHen Dr. Osborn was appointed
superintendent. It Is supposed the Institu
tion authorities overlooked the Invoice when
the state accountant recently checked up
the Institution.
Save the School Children.
The following circular has been sent out
by State Superintendent McBrien and Labor
Commissioner Ryder:
Owing to the recent calamity at Collln
wood, a suburb of Cleveland. O., we deem
It our duty to call the attention of boards
of education, city superintendents, high
school and village principals, teachers and
ether officials throughout the state who
are responsible for the lives of the school
children entrusted to their care to the law
regulating fire escapes and egress from
public buildings.
To guard against loss of life In this state
we urge upon all officials whose duty it Is
to enforce the aforeeald acts to see that
the provisions of these laws are strictly
observed. We regret to say that there are
at least 300 public school buildings In vil
lages, towns and cities in Nebraska where
existing arrangements fall to meet the re
quirements of the law. In many places
the situation is criminal.
It is the small details that are too often
overlooked or entirely neglected, which In
the event of great emergencies would be
the line betwn safty and danger. All
doors should swing outward. Windows
should never be allowed to become bound
or neglected to that extent that they will
not work with a touch of the finger. Ks
cupes of noneombustlble material should be
erected where needed. The need should be
regarded ss Immediate rather than in the
distant futur.
We offer the suggestion that In addition
to exits and fire escapes provided for by
law there should be on every floor of a
sehool building two or more stories In
height a supply of ropes In every room,
knotted and securely fastened to the walla
ready for Immediate use. The boys should
be required to practice descending on these
ropes occasionally and the girls should be
required to watch the boys at practice.
There should be frequent fire drills In
every school, but it should be remembered
that In a fire drill It is as Important to
sen in how orderly a manner the DUDlls
can leave the building, as well as how
quickly tt can be done.
Reception to Bishop McDowell.
Bishop William F. McDowell of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, Chicago, and Mrs,
McDowell were guests of honor at a recep
tion and banquet at the Lincoln hotel to
night, tendered by leading Methodist lay
men of Lincoln. Bishop McDowell will re
main a number of days. He Is to preside
at a Methodist rally service tomorrow, as
well as dedicate a new church. Monday he
will meet with the trustees of Wesleyan
university and address a mass meeting at
University Place Monday evening.

try and the people would make no mistake
In electing him president. He was sorry

Many a Man Han Failed llcrauMt Ills
Pare Wan a Ilcture of Calamity.
It takes sunshine to produce a rose,
perfect rose. And so man, to be succ
essful, mut have sunshine Inside. The
life which has It not, which has no
health and no happiness, is sour, surly,
pessimistic, and a failure. The world al
ready has too many vinegar faces that
breathe Ul-wlll and strife. The world
wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will
cling to the man who has It, who radlatea
gladness and triumph wherever he Is and
under all circumstances.
Some people have a genius for seeli
ng out the disagreeable, the crooked, the
bad and the ugly. These are the destroy
ers; they travel In schools, they herd to
gether for they love theh' kind, and the
iieerful part of the world will have noth-
ng to do with them.
And why Is It that so many peddle
disaster knowing at the same time that
they do, their lives will be ruined?
Home people cannot help It, for pessim-
sm usually comes from bodily disorders,
nd this cannot always be prevented.
The stomach, for Instance, Is the most
common cause of discontent, sour face,
recklessness, disgust and lack of ambi
tion. A bad stomach there Is the secret
of many a failure. Anyone can have a
good stomach, a strong stomach, a stom
ach that can take care of anything and
verythlng that Is put Into It, no matter
hether It Is a very bad stomach now or
not. Then why not have It?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very
thing. One ingredient of these little
tablets digest 3.000 grains of food, and no
matter how bad Is your dyspepsia or In
digestion, these tablets will digest every
thing In your stomach, thoroughly and
completely, and better and quicker than a
healthy stomach can do the same thing.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure
quickly loss of appetite, brash. Irritation,
burning sensations, nausea, heartburn,
eructations, loss of vim and spirit, bad
memory, and dyspepsia and Indigestion In
their very worst forms.
No other little tablets In the world can
o so much.' Tou should carry fetuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets around with you
herever you go and take them after
meals. Then only will you realize what
what It is to enjoy a meal, and what per
fect digestion means. Your whole body
and your mind will feel the effects: your
Im will Increase, you will be more satis-
fled with what the world does, you will
think happier and be happier and your
face will be one of supreme contentment.
That will bring you success and then
more success. Your face will bring you
dollars. Try It. It will cost you Just
