Patterson, the missing head of tho supposedly de funct Employe's Protective association, have proven futile. At the offices of the company, 3as-3it-40 Pnxton block, the only Information obtainable was that Mr. Pat terson has been missing since last Thurs day. Dr. Stacy B. Hall, the physician nnd surgeon of the company, In whose offices tho Employes' Protective association ha been quartered the past month, or. In fact since Its Inception, professed Ignorance aa to I'atterson's whereabouts or what prompted him to leave. The same lack of Information was professed by Attorney John O. Kuhn, attorney for the association, who also has office quarters on the third floor of the Paxton block. On the . letter heads of the association appears the name of F. L. Patterson as secretary and treasurer. From what could be learned yesterday, there Is no such per son, at least he never appeared In the as sociation's office, nor was his name ever mentioned In the presence of Attorney Kuhn. "Efforts to ascertain Patterson's Omaha address have been without result. Dr. Hall vouched the Information that Patterson was married and had purchased furniture here with which to furnish a flat or house while Attorney Kuhn said he believed Pat terson to be slng. Dr. Hall said he had never seen Mrs. Patterson, although a cer tain woman hud on numerous occasions called the office on the telephone and asked for Patterson. Tntterson, upon learning of the call, would Invariably say It came from his wife.' Mr. KXihn said he believed Mr. Patterson lived romewhere ou Capitol ave nue, but where be had not the slightest notion. During his residence in , Omaha Pntter on's name has not appeared In the city directory, neither has there been any tele phone In his name, excepting an automatlo phone In the association's offices, under the name of Hall and Patterson, the number being A -4446. . Aa Patterson sub-rented from Ir. Hull. It was but natural both should use the same telephone and number. There have been no new developments In the alleged failure of the protective asso ciation. The desk of President Patterson remains locked and members of the asso ciation who call for explanations of jobs promised them fall to get any cheering In formation. The police end of the quest has by no means been dropped, although at headquarters nothing has been given out au to what Is being done. It Is learned that Patterson claimed to be a son of ex-Governor Patterson of Iowa and a nephew of Senator Thomas Patter son of Colorado.

Gilbert re plied that in such a situation he did not, and Judge Leslie intimated that his de clrlon would be Gilbert's way. J. C.

The little brunette In brown swept out of the court room at Council B'-tiffs, when the Dobbins case was submitted to the Jury. She had been there all to herself through the trial, confiding in no one. As she passed from the . court room she thrust a paper Into the hand of Captain L. n. Cousins, the bailiff, and went trip ping down the stairway. That staid official,- completely "flabbergasted," un folded the bit of note paper and read the verses. "I guess that don't explain much," he remarked when asked who this woman was. "She has been here must of the time, and she has never said a word to anybody. I never mentioned It though you see I wanted some one person in the case, at least, to escape you reporter. Now you're after this little woman." The woman Irr the case had faded out. Her Identity was hidden behind a thick brown auto veil, which so completely matched hef dress and other details of her garb that Bhe seemed just a' mist as she flashed out of sight. A big burnt orange plume waved from her hat saucily. A ripple of amused astonishment over took the lawyers In the caae when they learned from the bal'.lff of the happening. Two women, ever nameless, have been mentioned in the trial. Who and what they are or whether they actually exist or not Is a trifle uncertain on account of the nature of the testimony about them. But who was the little brunette In brown. Mrs. Bemis Will Contest the Case Wife of Former Mayor; Decides ,to Besist Plea of Husband for Divorce. Mrs. Julia B. Bemis has accepted service of summons In the divorce suit brought against her by her husband, former Mayor George P. Bemis, and it is reported will contest the case. A suit for divorce has been filed by Betsy Ann Mix against William Mix, who, says the petition, was "an Ill-tempered and evil minded man, dissatisfied with all the arrangements .made by plaintiff for his happiness and comfort." " George W. Smith is suing Sarah W. Smith on the ground of cruelty. Mrs. Ruth Shultz secured a decree from Judge ' Redick for desertion.

Charles Miller, a Junk dealer, formerly re siding at Sixteenth and Cass streets, shot Jim Towles, colored, in tho back of the head with a 38-caliber revolver as the result of a rivalry for the love of a woman of white skin, Edith Hunter. Towles is not fatally wounded. Miller Is still at large and has a dfnt In his head made by a blow from a club In the hinds of Towles' son, who rushed to his father's rescue. The brawl occurred at 7:15 Tuesday morn ing, In the room of the woman at 1224 Izard street, which also happens to be the dwell ing place of the negro. The woman and Towles assert that Miller had been forcing his attentions upon the woman against her protestations and had visited the house, though she had Warned him not to. When he reached there this time he found Edith Hunter sitting at the head of her couch and Towles at the foot. Some words ensued, and Miller, so Towles and the woman say, whipped out his pistol and shot Towles In the back of the head. Towles' young son was aroused by the shot and rushed into the room swinging a big club and planting on blow wlt.'j much emphasis upon the cranium of Miller It drew blood and Miller fled. The laat seen of him he was going south on Four teenth street. Detectives Van Dusen antl Moloney chased him a distance, but lost track of him. He has a crack in the back of his head and they expect to get him without much difficulty. Tollce surgeons took Towles in charge and say that the shot which hit him In the head will not prove serious. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Si (!) in mn (!) Some Things You Want to Know The American Congress A crisis In the' legislative history of the United States may be precipitated by the first regular session of the Sixty-first con gress which will begin on Monday, De cember 6. This congress will determine, either by its own vote or by Its record as submitted to the people next year, whether the present legislative system shall be per petuated, or whether tho power of the speaker of the house shall be curtailed. This is a very Br-rlous question, upon which good and honest men sincerely dif fer. Even if this congress does not find the solution of the problem, It will be cer tain to focus the attention of the country upen It and prepare the Issues to be settled at the ballot box. The Hlxty-flrat congress met In extraordi nary session last March In response to a proclamation of President Taft. When It adjourned In August It had passed a tariff bill, popularly kriown as the Payne-Aldrlch bill. Its legislative activity was confined strictly to the tariff, and upon every other species of legislation the Plxty-flrst con gress as yet has had no opportunity to ex press Itself. But of even greater Interest politically, than the tariff bill Is the fact that In the Sixty-first congresR there Is a serious split In the ranks of the republican mnjorlty. A similar schism appeared In the ranks of, the minority, but democratio splits do not possess the Interest of novelty. The repub lican party has been distinguished for its solidarity, for Its excellent discipline, and for Its fidelity to tho organization. For fourteen years It has enjoyed complete control of the national legislature and for twelve years It has controlled all branches of the federal government. Durinr thai time there has been more than one sharp contest within the party upon a question of party policy, but such quarrels always have been settled without breaking the solid front of the organization aa presented to the enemy. At the very beginning of the Sixty-first congress a considerable body of republics ri reprr sentatlves arrayed themselves In op position to the party organization In the house. I-atr a compact hnd aggressive, section of the republican majority In the senate rebelled against the party leader ship on the tariff question. These rebels In both houses have come to be known as "Insurgents." It is they who will make the coming session of congress Interesting. The fight will center about the person of the Hon. Joseph O. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives. He rep resents the existing system of legislative procedure by virtue of his office, and he embodies In his personality that loyalty to "the organization" which has been the cardinal doctrine of his party. He is not to be held responsible for the system of legislation obtaining In the house, ulthuugh he Is, of course, responsible for his ue of that system. Wlrm he came to th speakership he found that his predecessors had built up a system which gave th? speaker practically unlimited power to con trol legislation in the house. He has used that power as he has seen It. The "in surgents" are of two clacses those who oppose the system on principle, and those who oppose Cannon for person A reos ns. The loysl republicans are of three classes those who consider party discipline as a sufficient rule of conduct, those who ar bi'und to the speaker by virtue of fuvo s received or expected, and those who b I'.ev. that the present sjstem Is the bis possible method of legislation in the house Mr. Cannon maintains that his gavel I the emblem of authority conferred upm the spaker by the majority of the repre sentatives; that he represents the ma jority In everything he does and that the majority at any time may remove him; that abondonment of the essential rules of present procedure would turn tho hour. Into an uncontrollable mob incupible of any kind of legislation, and that as long as he Is on the Job It v. ill be his Job. Against Mr. Cannon the majority of the democrats and the republican lnaurgcnts marshal many arguments. They declure that h. has so abused his power that the house is enslaved to his will; that he is able to obstruct, and does obstruct, legl!at on demanded by the people; that ha Is guld d by his personal prejudices and opinions rallicr tlun by coiiaiderailous ut Ui public The Taste of the Nation "i NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY The Congress Today good, and that he Is utterly unamenable to the changes of opinion superinduced by ths progress of the nation. N Then there is a personal aspect of tho fight. There Is tho "Uncle Joe" Cannon of the "common people," he of the home spun suit and the rakish cigar, he who adorns the good story and decorates the picture of the homely virtues of the Ideal of Uncle Earn. There Is also Tory Joe Cannon, opposed to every progressive sen timent, the enemy of all that Is beautiful, the foe of all that Is good, the fountain of unpleasant and Impolite conversation and the bogle-man of the "fair-haired boys" lately grouped about the foot of the throne of Theodore Roosevelt. Somewhere be tween these two Is Joseph G. Cannon, a representative from the state of Illinois, who Is now serving his fourth term as speaker of the house of representative. I3ut Mr. Cannon entered upon the duties of hla fourth term under very different conditions than had prevailed at the begin ning of preceding congresses. A number of repiesentatlvea of his own political faith supported the majority of the demo cratic members In an effort to change the rules to strip the speaker of his right to appoint the committees. Such a change would have meant the downfall of the power of the speakership. Every effort to Invoke the sanctity of party discipline failed, and appeal was made to the demo crats. Twenty-three of the 172 democrats seceded from their party and set up an other set of rules, slightly changing tha existing order, but leaving the power over committees In the hands of the speaker. The majority organization was forced to accept this compromise, and Speaker Can non retained his power by a narrow margin of five votes. Thus while he was elected speaker by a majority composed of his own party, he ho ds his power as speaker by commission from a majority made up of many republicans and a few democrats. A lepubllcan member of congress, at that A NOBLE RECORD . Of many hundreds of thousands of cures forms a well sustained basis for every claim put forth by the makers of Dr. PIERCE'S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY as a remedy for many of the troublesome affections whichafflict mankind; yet it is not extolled as a "cure-all" by any means. No extravagant promises are flaunted before the public to arouse false hopes in the afflicted. Your neighbors probably know of some of its many cures; ask them. Through strengthening and arousing the stomach, liver and bowels Into vigorous action, digestion la promoted, whereby t ., - .... , , . , the blood Is enriched and purified, dlseascproducln bac teria destroyed and expelled from the body, and thus a long list of skin, scrofulous and kindred affections aro overcome and sound, vigorous health established. The "Discovery" contains no alcohol and no habit-forming drugs, and has its every ingredient printed on its wrappers. This OPEN PUBLICITY places it in a class distinct from the ordinary secret nostrums with which it has no re lationship. Physicians, therefore, do not hesitate to prescribe it in bad cases of indigestion, torpid liver or biliousness and in skin and blood affections. People of intelligence and keen discernment employ it. The "Discovery" is a pure glyceric extract of native medicinal roots of great curative potency, and can in no case do harm to either child or adult. The aged find it a great invigorator. You can learn more about this time proven and popular "Discovery" from the People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, a newly revised, up-to-date edition of which is now offered, in cloth covers, post-paid, for 31 cents in one-cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing only; or in paper cov ers 21 cents.

They have learned that the only crackers that are crisp, tender, always fresh and really good are those protected by a moisture proof package. These are the kind they get as if just from the oven when they ask for -av' counted as Insurgent, has charged that the necessary democratio support was ob tained by a corrupt bargain made between Speaker Cannon and Tammany hall. Ona of the first fights In the coming session of congress will be waged to obtain a con gressional Investigation of tliU charge by a committee to be named by the house on ballot, and not by the speaker. Mr. Can non scoffs at this charga. Mr. Cannon says that a majority of the house at any time may remove him from the chair. This Is true In theory, but in fact the speaker could defend his position against any majority that did not reach two-thirds of the whole house. Tho speaker now possesses the absolute right to de termine whom he shall recognise. Every member seeking recognition must make arrangements beforehand with the speaker. It Is hardly probable that he would will ingly accord recognition to any member for the purpose of moving to declare the speakership vacant. The engine by which the speaker gov erns the house Is the committee on rules. Sometimes the house Is permitted to con sider and discuss unimportant bills In regular parliamentary deliberation. But this privilege Is never accorded when an Important measure Is put upon its passage. The committee on rules brings in a special rule, reporting the bill and providing for Its consideration. The rule stipulates tha exact time of debate; expressly provided what amendments shall be permitted, if any; and leaves the house no opportunity to do anything but accept or reject the bill in the fjrm deemed proper by tha com mittee. The Insurgents will attempt to overthrow tho power of the speaker by attacking this committee on rules. When the committee brings In a special rule, Mr. Dalzell, Its spokesman, will present the report and move the previous question. If the prev ious question Is voted, debate Is cut off and the report Is not subject to amed rrent. If at any time the democrats and lnsugunts can muster a majority to vote down the previous question, then the rule reported will bo subject to amendment. Opposed to all efforts to amend the rules grid deprive the speaker of his power Is that section in the house which believes the present system to be absolutely neces sary to accomplish legislation. It Is argued that the surrender of the power of the time loyal to the speaker, but now ac majority as concentrated in tho speaker ship is to Invite filibustering by the minor ity, and the strangulation of publio bust I. ess. Men holding this view deelaro that tt is better to permit a speaker chosen by a majority . to dictate what legislation shall pass, than to give a minority the power to prevent the passage of any or all measures. Expert students uf parlia mentary law demur to this opinion, and point out the fact that the House of Com mons in England, a much larger body than the house of representatives, manages to legislate under ordinary procedure, while the United States senate deliberates upon all measures before it without restriction or limit. The insurgent element In the senate Is opposed to some of the polices, of thit n ajorlty' of ths repuMrt arr" prr' irf-'trtat ' body. Insurgent senators Will be watched1 Dy the whole country with Interest, but it is not without the realm of possibility for them to come Into control of the senate The fight will center In the house. There it is possible for a coalition of democrats and Insurgents to overthrow the ruling powers. If It shall be done It will estab lish a new precedent In American legisla tive history and will crystallize a new doctrine In our unwritten constitution. I Whether or not anything so radical Is accomplished, the forthcoming struggle will provide Issues for the next congres sional election!.. Everybody will be Inter ested in the winter's session, whether -they be loyal nephews of "Uncle Joe," ad mirers of Champ dark, or Insurgent braves off the republican reservation. By rBEDEIICK J.
