According to Mr. Hardell the attorney general contemplates making a personal canvass In tfit district and will deliver ad dresses In practically every precinct In the several counties comprising the Ninth con gressional district.

A dog, a pig and a horse form the prin cipal characters In a near-tragedy aa re lated In the petition of John W. Meadow filed yesterday In the district court at Council Bluffs against E. B. Cavanaugn. Meadow amka to recover 88,000 from Cava- naugh, the reputed owner of the dog. According to the petition, the dog, of which the defendant, Cavanaugh, la or was the reputed owner, took the notion one day to chase a pig. ' The pig naturally ran from the dog as any well-behaved porker would under the clroumstances. Now It happened Meadows was engaged In hitching a horse belonging to his employer, Walter White, to a wagon. Mr. Pig In hi endeavors to escape from the pursuing canine ran be tween the horse's legs. This the horse re sented and presumably attempted to land with both hind hoof on the squealing porker. The hoofa, however, missed the pig aad struck Meadows. Now Meadows say being kicked by the shod hoofs of a horse la no Joke and in fact caused him serious injury and kept him from his regu lar work of running a gasolirre engine for quite a long period ef time. As Cavanaugh was the reputed owner of the dog which chased the pig which scared the horse which kicked Meadows, the latter think It only right that Cavanaugh should pay him 80,000. Marriage Licenses.

STRIKE K0W SEEMS PROBABLE Cssssetm and Tralaaieu mm BsItU anara A Onto Hare Tuelr fteale Adjusted y Bidta. tlon. CHICAOO, March Il.-It Is unofficially announced that the committee of railroad managers yesterday refused In substance every concession demanded by the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine men, representing 36,000 men on forty-nine different roads running through tbe west and outhwet. excepting arbitration of the wage question. The taen bad roted by an orerwhelmlng majority to strike, and this rota wa laid before the railroad managers' committee yesterday by the committee representing the men. The men are more Insistent that the managers concede them the right to be represented by a committee of their own In the application of the seniority rules, than they are for a wage advance. An average of 12', per cent advance Is the final demand of the firemen. They claim that the schedule submitted last No vember has been modified In the hope that an amicable adjustment could bo made. The bone of contention regarding a com mittee of their own on seniority rules, lies In the fact that there are a number of engineers in tbe Brotherhood of Firemen and Englnemen. The latter organization claims that the firemen get the worst of the bargain when disputes on seniority arise under present conditions, because the engineers are repre sented by a committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. They want the railroad to recognize the right of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Englnemen to represent It own members, whether they are engineer or firemen. The railroads refused emphati cally, it la said, to accede to this request and declare that they will deal with only tbe organisation representing only one class of employes, An official of the firemen's nnlon said to night that a strike appears Imminent. Arguments were dosed today In the pro eeedlnga between the railroads and the Brotherhood of Itallroad Trainmen, before the State Board of Arbitration. The mem bers of ths board will meet Monday and take a trip through tb yard. Their award is expected soma time next week. Bo Strike aa B. A it. BALTIMORE, March 11 There will be no strike of conductor or trainman on the Baltimore A Ohio railroad. Commissioner of Labor Neill early thla morning having brought to a suooeaaful conclusion his ef forts sa mediator In the wage dispute be tween the railroad and tha men. WMle tha baais of settlement was not announced It was learned that consider able conosssiona were made oa both side and that In a general way the men and the officials met half way. This is true of all matters In controversy except the question of double-header freights, for the abolition of which the men asked. By mutual agreement this question was laid aside for settlement hereafter. At the conclusion of the conference this morning Commissioner Neill declined to make any statement other than a settle ment satisfactory t both sides had been reached.- President Oarretson of the Conductor' union aad President Lee of the Brother hood of Trainmen, Issued a statement which reads in part: Thousands of men on tha Baltimore sV Ohio oaa be thankful that through the spirit ef fairness shows on the part of the company and tha committee, exceeded by the patient efforts and good Judgment of Commissioner Neill and Chairman Knapp, serious strike has been avoided, not only on this railroad but on others In ths territory."

THE JEW IS NOT a"wANDERER o Says Prof. Nathan Bernstein la Lectare at Temple Israel. Prof. Nathan Bernstein forcibly pro tested against the Jew being characterised as a wanderer at Temple Israel last even ing, lie said that the word "wandering" conveyed too much the idea of a tramp, which was tea material. He said that the word "restless" was a better word by which to characterise his race, as it Is more spiritual. "Christianity la Incompatible with the Jewish Idea of love," said Prof. Bernstein. "Tb Jaw has a bard time to understand how th idea of lovs comes In. In the middle ages th Jews were persecuted to get money from them. Even In modern times ths cry of "Christ Is risen' seems to be a signal for Russia to massacre th Jews. "Americans also possess a restless spirit end the Jew finds kinship which makes a place for his development. "Christianity la not responsible for the retlne of the Jew, but it I embued by som misguided followers who get the wrong idea," b osneluded. Prof. Bernstein showed a thorough un derstanding of his subject and was most forceful In his arguments.

Burlington' is on the ere of Us first primary in a commission plan of city government, with eight candidates for mayor and sixty-seven candidates for councllmen. The situation as to mayor Is not abnormal, but the host of candidates for councllmen Is something appalling to the voter. Every one appears to be at sea as to what to do. Half the candidates for councllmen are not known to a large number of the voters, and the thing that Is puzzling the most of the citizens is who to pick for the four places. There has been no organized campaign, each candidate working for himself, or small groups of citizens working for favorite candidates. The primary will be held Monday and protably will bring out the full city vote. A great deal of Interest centers In the contest for mayor. Of the eight candi dates on the ticket J. S. Caster, P. C. Nau man and H. O. Marquardt are ex-mayors. Frank C Norton is at present city clerk and William C. Cross is an Insurance man. Dr. Kinney is a physician who has never held office and P. O. Ouenther Is a cigar dealer. Henry Wohlwend, the eighth can didate, is a printer, and was connected for a time with the Des Moines Register and Leader. 8o far the campaign has been conducted on purely nonpartisan lines, and it is not believed that either politics or partisanship will be Introduced later on.

IXiriAN The test now being made at the First Nalloual batik of Lufau lo de- To Manufacturers t IF you wished to get th biggest harvest from a given tract of land you would not blow seed to the winds thinly scattered over th country. You would plant it regularly and sys tematically in a section no !arger than you could have properly watched and cul tivated. You would then get the richest crop possi ble, and if you were wisa you would not overwork your land and thus shorten its productive life, but you would produce this year what would help the income from your land next year, and the year after, and so on. It is just so in advertising. The use of so-called "national ma diumsr" of general circulation, is scattering your seed too thinly over too great a territory. You may get valuable general publicity in this way but you cannot expect it to do any thorough cultivating. This is no disparagement of general mediums, for space in thfcm is well worth what it costs, but you must not expect them to yield anything like maximum results for a given territory. You can only obtain maximum results and profit from any given locality by the means of Daily Newspaper Publicity. The newspaper will cultivate the local field as no other medium can possibly do it It goes to the home, h takes the news of the day to the home fireside. It is the messenger between the outer world and the reader you seek to reach. It sells things. By selecting any section of country which best appeals to you for the purpose, you can in a short timtf and at practically no cost, demonstrate the value of this great cultivating agency the daily newspaper to your entire satisfaction. If you have been a-user of space in general a. i t. mediums, then you are all trie more able to get the best value from local cultivation. Take almost any one of the general mediums for an example. It may have 200,000 or even 500,000 circulation, but you will not find a great number in any one city or town. You can only get the maximum pub licity by the use of the local daily n'wspaper. Take for example a cer tain city in Michigan of 100,000 pop ulation. A canvass of 31,132 homes showed that 19,781 of them took tome daily newspaperv Can there be any other way to thoroughly cultivate the home field which can approach th messenger of the day the newspaper 1 It stands supreme in power to cultivate trade locally and if you do not recognize you are not awake to your own best interests. far Information sxidreaa THB DAILY CLU 901 World BuiUlnj, Ntw York Cfry the fact termine the sermtna'Tns- power of selected seed corn Is most unsatisfactory.

Justice Wright announced he would not hear at this time argument as to the' au thority of the court to order the printing committee to reconsider the proposals.

It would Involve disposal of the question by authority of tbe Judicial branch af th government over ministerial acta,
