Tills concession was -not granted without one . of the characteristic mental attitudes ot Nebraska's peerless Jeader, for he threat ened If the university authorities did not at least recognize his desire to back the Behoof by following out his Idea, of having 'a separate department he would take ac tion .Independently. With a democratic legislature supposed to be ready to act on his push of the button this might have n eant any of several things, but the con struction placed upon It seemed to be that the school would be established whether or no If Mr. Bryan could force the legis lature to do So. In the end Mr. Bryan sent the resolution s introduced to Senator Miller and It has been started In the legislative hopper.

As a matter of fact, Nebraska already has one citizen who Is enjoying the bene fits of the Carnegie pension. Chancellor Andrews who was made head of the state university because he advocated the same political Ideas which Mr. Bryan at . one time advocated, has been on the pension list for some time. Under the terms of the fund the trustees have authority to select any educator they choose and make him a beneficiary because of distinguished service In the cause of education. Dr. Andrews was placed on the pension roll under this provision. Under the bill now pending It will be possible ,for teachers In the state university to automatically become eligible to receive the benefit of Mr. Carnegie's fund. That is, after twen-? ty-flve years' service as an educator or fifteen years' service when the educator has reached the age of 65.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 25. (Special Telegram.) The senate was forced to go Into committee of the whole after three weeks' session without doing so, by the republicans. Sen ator Majors made the motion after prelim inaries today, and was called to the chair to preside for the first time. The King bill, memorialing congress to take action to permit ' national banks to take advantage of a state guarantee law, was recommended for passage, In addition to S. F. 15, by Tanner. During proceedings In committee' of the whole today Senator King's game bill, to prevent hunters shooting from blinds, or while wading in- streams, waa called up, but was passed over because the amend ments were not printed. Senator Howell sought to raJ a Utter he had received bearing, on the bill, and referring to It he asked Mrs King If a man could hunt In a dress, suit. ."If he, came from Omaha, he probably would." was Senator King's reply. The let.r Mr. Howell referred" to was ' as follows; . " 8eeing that Senator King has Introduced a bill in the, senate to amend our present' game laws, eas to the mode of pursuing game I wish to go on record as. heartily approving the amendment so far as It pre vents the wearing of "waders," but will suggest a few more essential amendments. It Is highly necessary that a hunt should always look and act the gentleman and I would suggest that Mr. King amend his bill to compel each person contemplat ing going either lisiung or hunting to pass an examination as to his qualifications and capacity for the maintenance of the bait question, as to fishermen and the ac curacy with which he can handle a"pocket pistol" In regard to the hunters; but the most Important amendment would in my mind be the dress the hunter must wear. This should consist of the finest snd best dress suit procurable even if he has to send to New York for it, white choker, white kid gloves and to crown the whole a fashionable allk hat; the kind of a gun will, under the circumstances, make no dif ference, as ir ne obtains a snot ne must then hie him to the nearest Justice of the peace, get his certificate as to his ability to handle the aforementioned pocket pistol and as to the accuracy of his dreas, then go sfter the gsme he has spotted. Of course the game will be compelled by an other clause In the amendment to wait for the return ot tke hunter. I think this will have the approval of the majority of our sportsmen, and hope the bill as amended by my suggestions will pass, not only by a good majority, but by a unanimous vote ot all those who wish to preserve our game. Senator Miller s bill to prohibit member ship In high school fraternities end to make "rushing" of members a misdemeanor Is ameasure backed by the high school, authorities of Lincoln and, he says, will have the support of high school men In other places. It specifies that a student who belongs to such a society may be de prived ot the privileges of the school, snd "rushing" is subject to a penalty of a fine of from $3 to $10. The senate will remember the Lincoln centenary. February 12, as a committee was appointed this afternoon consisting of Senators Tibbets of Adams, Ketchum of Thayer and Majors of Nemaha, to arrange ith the Grand Army of the Republic societies so that a program may be held In the senate chamber and not conflict with the observance In the city.

There we found the crew of the Republic taking the tarpaulins from the life boats and standing by ready - t.i swing out the davits. There was no sign of any other ship anywhere. The fog horn of the Republic was letting, out shrill blasts, but thee was no answering whistle. I don't know how long we were left to wonder what had happened. Finally the second officer Informed us that there was no danger of the vessel going under. The majority became composed at hearing this, but some of the women were stttl beside themselves and refused to return to their state rooms to drees and their clothes- had to be brought to' them from their cabins. "In less than .a , half, hour... however, mostly every ohe had managed to get clothing on.' "After a little we heard an. answering whistle and the Florida' came up, looming out of the fog hn our, starboard, quarter. There was an exchange of- questions' and answers between the two captains, and the Injury to the Republic having been discov ered more serious- than was at first sup posed, we were told that we were to be transferred to the. Florida. This announce ment caused more , terror than had the shock of the collision, even, but after a while compuraUve calm was obtained and the trans-shipment was begun. The women and children were first, of course." Mist Hides 'Rescnerers. "The Florida could -barely be made out though less than a cable length away. The boats would tand out under the searchlight and then fade away Into the midst. The Florida's boats' had also been put over the side, and It was a sort of con test between the "crews- of the two ships as to which wxud tako- over the greatest number tf people hi the least time. . "When It. c'ahw Co the turn of Captain' Sealby and the officers ,and men. of the Republic to abandon the ship, they re fused. v ' "We stayed aboard the Florida all day Saturday, packed like sardines. At 7 o'clock word came that th Baltic would take us off.. Once more we had to go through the experience of going from the ship tp the lifeboats. It was the same thing as In the darkness of the early .morn ing except that the sea was running high Instead of being quite still. For more than eight hours the little, boats hurried from one ship to the other unj.ll 1,800 people had Deen i&aen over 10 me xiuiiu. xne crew of the Florida following the example set by the crew of the Republic, remained on board, as did one of our passengers, Eugene Lynoh, . whose wife had been killed in the crash between the two ships and who, himself was too badly Injured to be removed. "We are here now and It is all over, and I Intend to sail on another ship next week, but I hope that this Is the .only experience ot the kind 1 will ever have." IOWA POSTMASTER IS HELD Son of Former.

Internal strife rather than a wage contest is feareu by the convention of the United Mine Workers of America In session here. Only one wage scale of large Importance Is to be negotiated, that of the miners of the three anthracite districts of Penn sylvania. The organisation Is giving much atten tion to the dispute between the national administration and Its opponents, headed by John Walker of Illinois, who Is .Mr. LewlY rival for the presidency. . The bal lots cast last December are now being counted-and the result may.be announced (omcrNnr -or -Wednesday, i-The .contro versy Is -bitter- and, charges, of Improper Influence In .the election- have been made. It Is reported that If the count does not give Mr. -Lewis a. large majority, Mr. Walker's friends will contest the election and will attempt to have a sufficient number of votes thrown out to put the final decision before the convention. The anthrnclte miners of Pennsylvania are not well organized and It Is charged that In many local unions the elections wero held In an Irregular fashion. Mr. Lewis and his aides have been crit icised for suspending the officers of Dis trict No. 11 for alleged indifference In the Mercer-Butler strike In Pennsylvania and for their course In the great Alabama atrlko of last year. On the other hand, Mr. Lewis insists that the convention shall put itself on record as establishing the supreme power of the national ex ecutive board and as determined to main tain absolute Integrity In contracts made by the different districts of the union with the mine owners. The factional feeling frequently Is man ifested In spirited clashes in ths conven tion, but there, will be no open warfare until the committees' reports are sub mitted. ' , A minor manifestation was ohown to day, when after the credentials committee had recommended the seating of two Pennsylvania delegates the convention seated one and rejected the other by a vote regarded by the anti-Lewis faction as a victory. Mr. Lewis' friends assert that his ma jority will be between 10,000 and 15,000 and that they will be able successfully to defend the administration's cause. DEATH RECORD. George W. Lee.

Her-i Is a simple treatment for skin dis eases, such as salt rheum, eczema, tetter, etc.. that Is so good that I feel I ought to make It public; Dissolve a tesspoonful of pure powdered cltrox to two tablespoons of hot water and baths the diseased skin twice a day. Bs sure to get the pure drug. Just as it comes from the chemical works, in small sealed packages, and make the solution yourself. It seems almost too simple, but tne best thlnss are always simple. I cured my husband of a very bad case of ecsema on the leg, and my little boy's ringworm with it ; also a very dear friend who had tetter on her hand. It dries up the erup tion In a few days and stops the Itching at once. A friend of mine, who got the prescription from a famous skin specialist gave it to me. It Is a priceless discovery and I hope you will publish this. MRS. R. H. BURN ham.
