(From Staff Correspondent.)
LINCVOLN, Feb. 21. (Special.) The
recent order of the State Board of Re
gents of the State university that no can
didate for office will be used In the fu
ture to deliver lectures under the auspices
of tha extension .work of the Institution
Mill act aa a hardship on some candidates.
One of the reasons for the position taken
by the regents was In the fact that same
f the lecturers failed to mention the
university In their talks, but simply
looked after their nun Interest as candi
dates. For Instance when Governor Shal
lenberger was rptnkl.; l:i n country town
a citizen rongratnlptn.i Mm on his talk.
"I believe this ji:i.-.iim work la a great
thing for the university." said the cltlsen.
The governor blushed and stammered
and then accepted the congratulations.
He had failed to mention the- university
In his talk. Were the regents to continue
to permit candidates for office to go forth
under the direction of the state university
It would mean much to them, not only In
the free advertising they would get, but
In the fact that their expenses would be
psid by the towna In which they appeared.
In fact, Governor Shallenberger. Senator
AldrJeh, CongrensmBn Norrls and others
who are announced candidates, It Is re
ported, have been delivering political
speeches, though advertised as representa
tives of the state university. In each town
where they have appeared the citizens have
pah) their expenses.
I Bryan Also I niter Ban.
- Another distinguished cltiion who will
coma under the ban is Mr. Bryan. The
perpetual candidate will no longer be per
mitted to tejl of his peculiar views to the
people of Nebraska as an ' agent of the
university.
. "If Mr. Bryan Is a . candidate," said
Regent Anderson, "he will not be permit
ted to apeak under the ausplcea of the ex
tension work."
. At this time It 'Is not possible to learn
Just how many peetjhes candidates for
office have made, because at the university
It waa aald the matter had not been checked
up, but that It could be told how much
time each of the Candidates had agreed to
give the state.
The following from J. L. McBiien gives
that Information:
Colohel w. J. Bryan, one week; Governor
VI ihallenberger, one month; Richard L. Met
calfe, one month; Senator Norrls Brown,
7me month; Senator K. J. Burkett, one
month: W. R. Andrews, one month; Con
gressman G. M. Hitchcock, indefinite; Con
gressman Norrls, Indefinite; Congressman
Magulre, Indefinite; K. 1). Sutherland. In
definite"; Senator Aldrlch, indefinite; Fred
Anhton, indefinite.
While It was not possible to secure the
Information regarding the number of
I speeches delivered by these candidates or
I would- becandidates. at this time. Senator
I Aldrlch and Governor Shallenberger have
! ten' de voting many days to the "work" at
the expense of the citizens of the towns

Norrls Is said to have delivered forty-five
peeMies", or will .deliver that piany. .
In . -addition':' to' the' above, several In
structors of the state university have been
w-ht out on the work. Under the rules of
the regents, hereafter the lectures will be

City Charter Attain.
The special charter committee appointed
by the. general committee to draft the pro
posed charter for the city along the lines
suggested by the general committee Is busy
at work on Its Job.
It Is propostd to have the city managed
by a mayor and five councilmen, all elected
at large. The mayor is to be paid at the
rate o( $2,600 a year and the councilmen
are to' serve 'for nothing. No power of
veto Is vested In the mayor, but by a vote
of four anything the mayor proposes may
be overruled. All other city officials are
to be appointed by the mayor and council,
four votes being necessary to make a selec

Drmarrate Hairs ' Adopted.-
The railway commission has been notified
that the 'Western Demurrage association
has adopted the demurrage rules recom
mended by the railway commission In their
general meeting at Washington and later
by the Interstate Commerce commission.
The rules will become effective In Ne
braska May 1. The rules will apply only
to Interstate business and will not affect
the Nebraska laws which govern local
shipments.
When Domaerali Fall Oat,
K. O. Garrett, who was democracy's
choice for lieutenant governor a year ago,
had this to say when discussing the action
of oGvernor Shallenberger, who was with
him on the ticket. In charging the removal
of Principal Crabtree to republican poli
tics: "Arthur Mullen, who drew the bill which
provided for the removal of the republican
members of the normal board, handed the
bill to me with this remark:
" That bill will remove more republicans
from office than any measure that has
yet been thought of or ever was thought
of.' "
some Left Oat.
That someone overdid the business when
the democratic banquet was packed for
Governor Shallenberger and the speakers'
list was confined to the big four Is more
apparent every' day. Dan Stephens, who for
a number of years has cut some ice In
democratic politics, was so cut up over the
arrangements that he left the city at
o'clock In the afternoon and did not, there
fore, remain to the feed and talks.
Stephens was not the only one who left,
however. Chris Gruenther, who organized
the state for Shallenberger, and more than
any other manager brought around his
election, got enough of it by 4 o'clock and
he, too, left.
These two watched very carefully the
maneuvering of the afternoon and knew In
advance what was going to happen.
The talk that Stephens Is going to run
for the senate has some foundation. It Is
told on good authority that Stephens Is
very much undecided on two propositions
now open to him.
Congressman aLtta, so it Is said, has
agreed to get out of the way at the close
of his next term If re-elected and support
Stephens for congress. Stephens looks well
on this, but fears . that E. R. Guerney of
Fremont, his personal friend, may want
the Job then and he would dislike to go
against him.
That leaves the senate, which Is a big
and broad field. So If no announcement Is
forthcoming for the senate, then It may
be arsumed that Mr. Stephens has decided
to wait for Mr. Latta's shoes.
That would seem to postpone Indefinitely
the fulfillment of the ambitions of Edgar
Howard.
State May Intervene.
Attorney General Thompson may Inter
vene in the Missouri rate cases whlqh are
now pending In the federal court, though
this afternoon he had not fully decided the
matter. It Is possible he may merely file
a brief as a friend of the court.
The legal department of state received a
Joul by reason of the decision of a federal
court handed down In Oklahoma, which
was against the contention of Mr. Thomp
son in the matter of the apportionment of
Income and operating expenses between
state and Interstate business.
Mr. Thompson has evidence that he be
llevfs some of the other states with similar
litigation do not possess. So he may file
the brief In order to assist In preventing
an opinion which may be detrimental to
his own case.
As evidence that Nebraska does not have
apportioned to it the share of the revenue
on business to which It Is entitled the
following was cited in the recent evidence
taken here: The earnings on a car of butter
and eggs from Fairbury to Omaha waa $66;
on the same train was a car of butter and
eggs destined for Chicago. The Nebraska
earnings on that car amounted to only 122.
Another example cited was this: From
Plymouth to Omaha Is 100 miles; from
Omaha to Chicago 600 miles. The rate on
corn to Omaha from Plymouth la 8 cents
and from Omaha to Chicago 12 cents. On
30,000 pounds Nebraska earned $24 and

Diapepsin Is harmless and tastes like candy,
though each doee contains power suffi
cient to digest and prepare for assimila

besides. It makes you go to the table with

you most Is that you will feel that your
stomach and Intestines are clean and fresh,
and you will not need to resort to laxa

you will be cranky about this splendid

Thomas Essy.
BURWELL, Neb., Feb. 21. (Speoial.)
Balem Essy, living In northern Garfield
county who has been considered a harm
less lunatic for some time, became vio
lent yesterday afternoon and killed his
brother, Thomas Essy, at whose home he
was staying.

fore the Insanity board, but the commis
sioners did not find him serious enough,
as they thought, to send to the asylum
and his brother and sister agreed to care
for him.
Dr. Thurston and Sheriff Waters have
gone to the scene of the affair and no
definite report can be secured until they
return, as the affair happened near Erina,
about twenty-five miles from here.
