See Iher Are Wrong.
Representatives James P. Connolly and
Jeremiah Howard . of the potiglas county
legislative delegation are outright In their
support of W. J. llryan s demand for a
special session. Mr. Connolly also says he
knows of four other members, with a pos
sibility of six more, who will support tin1
llryan program.
"When we came homo from Lincoln, after
the passage of the 8 o'clock law. we were
hailed as mighty pood fellows by those
for whoso Interests we" had made our
stand," said Mr. 'Connolly. Now wo ought
to be Just as good follows as then, even
though we support ths Initiative and ref
erendum. 1 have always been In favor of
that measure, and believe In it. I have
taikfd with most f the Douglas county
representatives, and can. say that. Includ
ing myself, five will be for It. Two others
aro diffident about committing themselves,
but you need not be surprised If all of
the Douglas county votes line up with
Iiryan. They will do this regardless of
local blustering, as carrying out their own
belief." .
Howard Replies to Senators.
Jeremiah Howard of South Omaha has
written W. J. Brvan In a strain differing
from that of the three democratic senators.
"Jerry" also takes "oocaslon to have a
fling at his colleagues, In the good old way
he used to hand It out at Lincoln. Follow-
Ing Is a copy of Kepresentatlve Howard s
letter to Mr. Bryan:
' SOUTH OMAHA, April 29, 1!U0. Hon. W.
d. Bryan, Lincoln: In reply to your letter
of April IS, concerning the Initiative and
referendum, permit mo to say that there
is an old adage whicti says, "KveryUiing
is revealed by time." Therefore 1 hope
that the legislators who voted in the ne
gative against the Initiative and reteren
uum have seen their error by this time.
If there is any blame or shame attached
to any mistake made at the last session
of the' legislature, the gladiators from
Douglas' county are to blame, though the
curiosities from .Lancaster county are not
blameless either. Their motto was pho
hlliitioh and appropriations.
I believe in submitting matters concern
ing the peoplo to the people, therefore I
will vote in the affirmative, although a
man may become wealthier by voting as
certain Interests require, thereby ignoring
the wishes of the peoplo. Character is
better than wealth. Yours truly.

Lee O'Neill Brown, democratic leader of
the house of representatives at Spring

home at Ottawa:
"Remarkable, these charges are remark

Mr. White should remember In making

"I will state flatly that I never received

At Springfield, Governor Deneen de

charges Is due the people of Illinois.
Grand Jory Will Investigate.
States Attorney Wayman sent for Repre
sentative White in connection with tho
latter's confession.
It is believed that White will be asked
to tell his Btory to tho special grand Jury
ordered to report next Monday. In stating
his reasons yesterday for desiring the
special Inquisitorial body, Mr. Wayman
particularized the charges of John C.

W, H. Cowles of the Spokane (Wash.)
Spokesman-Review also elected to speak of
prosperity:
Country la Proiperosi.
"The west does not want any disturb
ances, political or territorial, In the far
east, especially In China. Our country Is
shipping flour to China and the trade Is
growing bigger every year. It Is only a
forerunner, in our belief, of a tremendous
commerce. Tho western country will watch
with Jealous eye any developments In the
political arena In the east which threaten
to check the growth of the trade with the
orient. Our country Is prosperous and
fruit, our largest staple production, is in ex
cellent shape. It has escaped the storms
which visited the mieTales west."
Charles Samuel Jackson of the Portland
(Ore.) Journal reverted to politics:
"Colonel Roosevelt, now more so than
ever, Is Oregon's political Idol, but the
amount of talk which is heard about Mayor
Gaynor is amazing It seems that the pe iple
have Just begun to understand the New
York City executive. Our country Is being
developed upon an amaxing scale. The rival
railroad enterptlt-es of 'the Harrlman and
Hill interests are building Into the north

"The oriental question, so far as It af

"Every branch of Colorado's numerous In

In order that the reader, too busy tj
keep In luu'h with the findings of medical
high-brows, may not be left to work out
his own physical destruction, the follow
ing rules have been taken from articles
made Impressively by the signatures. It
Is not assumed that all of the rules may
be followed at once:
Prtathe deeply. In this way the lung
area Is enlarged, oxygen more readily con
sumed purifying the blood, quickening the
circulation and promoting functioning.
The fad for .deep breathing is tionsense.
No benefit Is to be derived from It. The
normal person will take Into his lungs
without conscious effort all the air that
Is good for him.
Tako a cold bath once a day at least.
Twice would d' qo harm. Avoid the hot
bath as enervating.
Take your daily bath as hot as the water
can be borne. Cold water gives a danger
ous shock. Moreover, It Is not cleansing.
U.ithe every day.
A common error Is that of bathing more
frequently than Is necessary for purpose
of cleanliness. Use tepid water.
Regularity of meals Is essential to health.
Tnko three of them daily, beginning with a
hearty breakfast. v
Omit, until noon at least, the meal ordi
narily known as breakast. Then take half
a sterilised cracker and a sip of water.
Eat wh?n you are hungry, 'without regard
to the hour, v
Never go to bed within three hours of
having eaten.
The practice of going to bed hungry Is
foolish. Sleep comes more quickly and Is
more restful If Just before retiring you
partake, of lunch.
Never drink water with meals.
Drink two or three glasses of water
with each meal.
Beware of low shoes, even In warm
weather.
. The low shoe Is desirable despite a pos
slblo sense of chill. In high shoes the feet
suffer from lock of ventilation.
Wear heavy underclothes in cool weather,
particularly over the chest.
Many make the mistake of swathing the
chest and throat. Adopt light underwear
for the entire year.
Chew food thoroughly and eat sparingly.
Take a quantity of food. Nature will
eliminate all that Is not needed. No harm
is done by boiling meat, as digestion is a
chemical process taking place In the
stomach.
Tea and coffee are poisons.
There is no beverage more healthful than
tea and coffee In moderation.
Decline to use any but pasteurized milk.
Milk raw from a healthy herd la the only
sort fit for human consumption.
Indulge in vigorous exercise.
Pursuit of your ordinary vocation will
give you all the exercise you- need.
Experience demonstrates that the veget
arian has the only sane theory.
If you would keep well, follow a mixed
diet, with meat as a staple.
Take all fruits and most vegetables raw.
The skins have a distinct value.
Vegetables and fruits must be cooked.
It is well to peel them. The tklns harbor
deadly germs. "Philadelphia Ledger.

WORK STARTING UP AGAIN
AMONG HILLS MINES
Several Properties Are to Resume and
Basr Times Will Soon
Arrive.
DEAD WOOD, S. D., April 30.-(Special.)
Sinking will be resumed on the property
of the Golden Crest Mining company In the
Two Bit district some time this month.
The Golden Crest Is one of the oldest prop
erties In this part of the Hills that has
been considerably worked and has yielded
some good ore, the average value being
close to 100 in the old days. This was
when the property was owned and man
aged by Frltx Weber before he sold It to
the present company and was under ex
pense of mining, hauling and shipping
besides treatment at the smelters. No ore
running under $20 per ton was ' shipped
and the peculiarity of the ore wm In the
fact that It was never found In place. It
was of the slllclous nature and was taken
from the upper levels. The - presence , of
a porphry cap and a fault led to the con
clusion that the richer ore lay beneath the
quartzlte and It is with this idea that the '
sinking Is to be done below the 260-foot
level, where the present shaft stop. The
shaft Is well timbered and In good shape
for sinking and little preparatory work will
have to be done. Tbe property is owned
by R. L. Bailie and associates of Detroit,
Mlchj,
Dr. A. T. Koos, the local chemist and as
sayer, and Guy Bunce, son of the presi
dent of the Black IIIUs Development and
Financial corporation, have established a
camp In the Carbonate camp, near here,
the soene of the rich strikes on the old
Iron Hill property made In the early days.
The dumps of this and adjoining properties
contain something between 30.000 and 40,000
ions of ore which will be run through and
extensively sampled, shipments being made
from time to time to the smelter at Denver.
The total cost of loading, shipping and
treatment is $11.60 per ton and it Is ex
pected that a fair profit can be obtained
from the ore, even at this figure. Deeds
for the adjoining properties to the company
are being made out to give a wider scope
to the activities of the assayers,
Preparations are being made by the
Lucky Strike Mining company to resume
work on Its property on Box Elder creek
southeast of here. General Manager Charles
Allen has Just returned from an eastern
trip to Minneapolis and other points where
he was in consultation wtlh the officers of

Attorneys from Chicago representing Otto

that recently took over the Safe Invest
ment Mining company's property near
Hrnchnaark. In the southern part of the
county, have been putting the affairs of
tho company In shape to resume work this
spring. The company has a large camp
near Benchmark, their ground being under
ratent proceedings and has been developed
to some extent In ths blanket formation
under the management of I. A. Webb, for
merly one of the heaviest owners. Mr.
Webb still controls some Interest and Is a
director of the company, but has relin
quished the active management of the
property. The company has a 120-stamp
tnllll which was only operated for testing
purposes. It Is the plan more thoroughly
to develop the ground before attempting to
operate the mill and most of the work this
summer will be on straight development
lines.
