The bank examiners appointed by Governor
Shallenberger under the provisions of tne
ncv banking law are up against a Berlous
proposition. John tt. Webster has an
nounced that lie will attack the law In the
courts. Thld means he wilt prevent the
new law from going Into effect at least
until It has run the gauntlet of the courts.
Therefore, thowe new appointees will not
get to take their places on the payroll until
tlie final decision Is reached, if at all.
Examiner Lulkart, newly appointed, re
signed a good position and has moved or is
preparing to move to Omaha. Another
examiner resigned a Job which paid him
tl a lion til He quit In June In order to
have a month's rent before entering upon
' his new duties. Incidentally the two exam

ments, wMl holding down places by virtue
of republican appointments, may also lose

urer Brian 1ms announced that he Is
opposed to any republican who accepts a

"Sorat time ago I was making an official
visit to a distant part o( the country and
took dinner with one of the merchants of
the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar
flavour of, the coffee, and asked him con
' cernlng It. Ha replied that It was Postum.
"I was so pleased with It, that after the
meal was over, I bought a package to carry
home with ma, and had wife prepare some
for the next meal. The whole family were
so well pleased with It, that we discon
tinued coffee and Vised Postum entirely.
"I had really been at times very anxious
concerning my mother's condition, but we
noticed that after using Postum for a short
time, she felt ao much better than she did
prior to lis use, and had little trouble with
her heart and no slclc stomach; that the
headaches wtrt ot o frequent, and her

The silver jubilee of the priesthood ot
the Very Rev. William M. McDonald, rec
tor of St. Cecelia's Catholic church, was
publicly celebrated by clergymen, laymen
and friends in the opera house Tuesday
night. Although the .event was arranged
by members of his church. It was largely
non-sectarian n spirit.
The meeting was opened with an Intro
ductoly address by Mayor Miles, who pre
sided. The mayor commended Father Mo
Donald for the active interest he had dis
played In movements for the welfare of
the city, and said It wan a pleasure for
the people of the city generally, Irrespec
tive of creed, to show their appreciation
and respect. Four tokens of esteem wre
givn the priest a watch valued at $230,
by his non-Catholic friends; a purse of
400, by the parish; another purse ot $200,
by the clergy of the diocese, and two
silver sets, by the Sunday school children
of St. Cecelia'. The presentation, on be
half of the friends outside of the church,
was made by J. N. Clark; that for the
parish by John Stevens; for the clergy
by Rev. M. A. Shine of Plattamouth, and
for the Sunday school by Miss Eva Ver
ting. An elaborate musical program was
given by Mrs. W. E. Barnes. Mrs. W. M.
Lowtnan, Bonnet's orchestra, Miss Beatrice
Oliver and others.
At the close of the ceremony. Father
McDonald made an eloquent address, ex
pressing appreciation of the friendly dem
onstration. He said he hoped to be at
his present post when the parish erects
Its new church, which he predicted will
be In the next five years, and this build
ing, he said, will be the finest of his de
nomination In the entire south Platte dis
trict. In his twenty-five years In the priest
hood, Father McDonald has served suc
cessively at Falls City. Dawson and Has
tings. He has been here for the last
fourteen years, and aside from having
one of the most Important charges of the
present Lincoln see, is dean of the Has
tings deanery, whose territory Is all of

The first annual dollar dinner given by the
Buffalo County democracy will take place
In this city Saturday night. From the at
tention this event Is receiving throughout
the state one might believe tt to be a
state affair, but the original plans were to
make it simply the launching of things
political In Buffalo county. Each day the
chairman of the county central commit
tee received requests for th reserving of
places. Two hundred and fifty plates will
be laid at the Midway hotel for the ban
quet as it now stands.

ALLIANCE., Neb., June 17.-fSpeclal
Telegram.) Today, the second day of the
convention, was certainly the banner day,
for there was not a town or hamlet for a
hupdred miles In eltfier , direction from
Alliance that was not fully represented.
Crawford sent a special train bringing
the well known Fort Robinson band from
the post at that point. The Platte valley
stockmen came In numbers that also re
quired a special train, and these, with
the number that came on the regular
trains, made the biggest collection of peo
ple that has ever assembled In Alliance,
The business session began with an ad
dress by T. B. McPherson of South Omaha:
He was followed by Mayor James C. Dahl-
man of Omaha,' who certainly was the star
attraction on the subject: "Early Days on
the Range." He recalled many of his
experiences a a cowboy, when, where
Alliance now stands, was simply "eminent
domain," or in a word, the range. He
emphasized the fact that he was known
as the cowboy mayor and he was willing
that name should remain with him, for
it was a glory and an honor.
For through his experiences In gaining
It he had been taught a lesson of self
resourcefulness that amounted to an art,
and he was willing to let his record prove
the fact.
R. M. Hampton was re-elected a presi
dent, as were the balance of the officers,
E. M. Searles, Jr., of Lincoln, winning out
against several competitors, who certainly
made the contest an Interesting orfe.
The following and only resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Legislation of great Importance
Is being enacted by the present congress in
the matter of tariff legislation, and,
Whereas, It Is contemplated by some rep
resentatives and senators to place hides
on the free list to the great financial hurt
of those engaged in the live stock Industry;
therefore, be It
Resolved. That we, the members of the
Nebraska Live Stock Growers' association,
In convention assembled, do hereby petition
our representatives and senators In Wash
ington to use all lawful and honorable
means to prevent the placing of th same
thereon; be It further
Resolved. That a copy of this resolution
be Immediately wired our representatives
in congress as well as copies furnished the
press and that individual members exercise
every effort to this end at once.
Tomorrow (Friday) will be given over to
sports and games and a typical western
celebration, interspersed with a modern
Innovation of automobile racing.
