Street Hallway Company Decides to
t.ivra Its Passengers a
l.lttle Osone.
Happy days!
The street railway company has decided
to afford Its passengers a little air to
breathe whilst they are riding Inside the
cars.
This concession Is made to the passengers
In compliance with a formal request sent
to the company by Health Commissioner
Cornell.
The doctor himself had ridden upon street
cars. He had tjjasped for a breath of
fresh air, as he sat jammed with other
mortals In a hot, stuffy, tightly closed
car. He bethought hlmaelf of his official
prerogative .arid then sat down and penned
a letter to the street car people.
Henceforth a ventilv.tnr In every car will
be kept open all the time and when the
cars roach the end of their runs the doors
shall be thrown open. That Is the dictum
of the company.
R. A. I-eussler. assistant general man
ager of the company, heartily approve. Dr.'
Connell's proposition and he compiles with
the request with eagerness, displaying not
I he least disposition to claim a corner on
air.
"We think the order of Dr. Connell is
very good and are glad to comply with It."
said Mr. Ixmssler. "In St. lxnils a city
ordinance compels the trainmen to keep
at least two of the ventilators open a!l the
lime one at the front end of the car and
one at ti. .' rear."

LINCOLN, Jan. . (Special. )-8ecretary
Whltten of the Commercial club has taken
the Initial step towsrds holding a manu
facturers' show In Lincoln In March. He
sent out the subjoined letter to local manu
facturers today:
As an advertising medium, and more par
ticularly " as a means of Increasing the
local consumption of goods made in Lincoln,
It haa been proposed, that a Home Products
exposition he held some time during the
month of March at the Auditorium. The
expense of such exposition, including rent
of building, and t.ie erection of uniform
booths for the display of goods and ad
vertising, is conservatively estimated at
about 11,200. Floor space 9x15 feet can be
provided for forty exhibitors, which would
makp an average expense to each firm
of HO.
These heme product-) expositions hav-
been put on In a great many cities and
have proved a very effectual way of In
creasing the local demand for home-made
goods, and we believe without question
that the same result would be obtained
from an exposition of this kind rut on In
Lincoln. If the matter la carried out. as
many working exhibits as possible should
be installed.
This letter Is addressed to you st the
request of the committee in charge, to as
certain whether or not you are In sym
pathy with the movement, and if so
whether you will Join In pro-rating the
expense and endeavor to secure other man
ufacturers to co-operate with the club In
this project and In Its continual efforts to
make our home industries more Im
portant. Street Hallway Merger.
President McDonald of the Lincoln
Traction company returned from New Tork
this afternoon and brought with him a
prrposltlon which he believes the stock
holders of the traction company and the
Cllxens Street Railway company will ac
cept and thus bring about a merger of the
two comnanles.
It Is understood the New Tork stockhold
ers of the Traction company submitted a
preposition which provides that some of
the outstanding stock shall be bought by
Lincoln paries. This will result In a ma
jority of the hoard of directors of the
merged company being chosen from Lin

The Commercial club "this afternoon sent
$1,010 to the Red Cross society in Wash
ington to be sent to the earthquake suffer

needed quickly, ten members of the club
advanced the $1,000 and a collection will
be taken to reimburse them In part. All
persons will be given an opportunity to
subscribe and it is the hope cf those who
have the matter In charge to raise a much
larger sum.

CITIES OBJECT TO REGISTR ATIO.V
Expense of Proposed Plan Given aa
tho Reason.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Jan. 4. tPpeelal.)-
On the ground of economy slone. n number
of cities in Nebraska are preparing to op
rose the effort on behalf of Hastings for
the enactment of a law providing en ade
quate method of registration for elections
In cities of between 7,000 snd ISVWi popu
lation. The proposed legislation was discussed
at a meeting of city attorneys In Lincoln
last week and the expressions, though gen
erally favorable as to the purpose of the
bill, indicated an opposition on account
of the slight Increase In expense that
would result from adopting the registration
plan of Omaha and Lincoln.
Registration of all voters Is not required
In cities of less than 25,000 population
There 1s an annual period, however, for the
registration of new voters and those who
have moved from one ward to another.
By this operation the registration list Is
always Inadequate and Incorrect. City
Clerk Batton and City Attorney Button,
who have studied the registration prob
lem seriously during the last few years,
recently determined to ask for an enact
ment that would make the registration law
of Omaha and Lincoln apply in the cities
of this class. This would retiulre an an
nual registration of all voters and regis
tration boards would sit for three differ
ent days In each ward.

Dean'a Appointment Approved.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Jan. 4.-(Speclal.)
The appointment of J. R. Dean of this
place to the supreme bench of the state
waa not unexpected, notwithstanding the
discouraging predictions that have floated
up from Lincoln for the last ten days.
Governor Sheldon undoubtedly made a
choice that meets with general approval
here In Custer county, all party sentiment
being laid aside. Judge Dean Is one of the
most successful trial lawyers In this part
of the state. Before leaving for Lincoln
Saturday night the judge said: "I deeply
appreciate the efforts of good friends in
both parties whose Influences were brought
to bear upon tho governor In order to se
cure this appointment. I am proud to have
such friends snd am glad to hall from
Custer county."

each other. They entertained a great deal,
their company being almost entirely army

If Mrs. Halns Is the kind of woman re

All failed but the Franklin ,
in Worcester contest
Against thirteen competitors, the 1909 Model D Franklin
touring-car won the only perfect score in the Worcester, Mass.,
reliability contest, December 12. Nearly all the contestant!
went through the road run without penalization, but the Frank
lin was the only one to withstand the rigid examination after
the run by a technical committee from the faculty of the Wor
cester Polytechnic Institute. All except the Franklin suffered
penalization due to broken, strained, bent op loosened parts,
leaks, etc. It was necessary for the committee to go over the
Franklin six times in order to satisfy the other competitors.
Was this luck? No!
This is the fifth severe contest in which a 1909 Franklin has
carried off the honors. Most any automobile can make a hard
road run without stops, but to go through without troubles of
any kind and without any derangement or strains resulting is
what tells the story. The light-weight air-cooled Franklin does
not strain or rack itself. It stands up. It rides comfortably.
