(Fram a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 17.-Speclal.) Within a
w days C. W. Bryan and Governor
Ihallenberger will hold a conference over
lie proponed call for an extra cession of
he legislature. Mr. llryan having In
ormed the. executive tliat he la about
eady to supply him with the names of
Ihe members of the legislature who have
greed to vote for the Initiative and
ferendum.
Mr. llryan has never given up hope of
hat extra session being called regardless
the hammering he has had at the hands
f the friend of the governor and re
tardless of the opinion of many, the big
Itiieftaln .aparently feels mare encouraged
oday than ever that he Is about In a
position to call the hand of the executive.
But there Is one more card the governor
an play against Mr. I3ryan and delay cail
Dg the extra sesxlon even If three-fifths
if the members do sign the pledge Ue
oanded by the governor. The governor
mows of at least two members of the Reg
ion who are not eligible to serve. Kepre
antatlve Henry, a democrat, has moved to
bwa where he got married and Bel tied
town to the simple life. Representative
lefferman has been elected county judge
tf Dakota county and so resigned, while
I la reported that Representative Bowman
las moved out of the state. In the office
if the governor It was said this afternoon1
hat If an elector demands that his dls
rict be represented. It Is up to the govcr
ior to call a special election to fill the
racancy. Under the law Colonel Furse said
t is necessary to give ten daya notice of
he calling of that special election.' So In
p-der to give the people In these districts
in opportunity to secure representatives,
t will be necessary for the governor to give
it least fifteen days notice of his intentions.
That would leave only thirty days for the
Mil if the call was issued today.
It is very apparent that the chief execu
ttve of the state does not want to have to
lall that extra session and it Is no doubt
lis opinion that Mr. Bryan will never be
ible to get the three-fifths of the mem
ers to pledge themselves to vote for the
mbmlsslon of the dilative and referendum.
But that the governor is anxious to be on
tie safe side in case Bryan does win out
shown by his statement thjs other day
that he has decided opinions on the initia
tive and referendum and was not in favor
f such a law If it was not limited in Its
icope. So it is probable that lie will have
to be convinced that the bill is what he I
wants before he will agree to advocate its'
pa&sage. ,
Another Question Halaed.
Now the question is, can the populists of
the state hold a legal convention under
Ihclr call Issued by the chairman and sec
retary of the committee? The law provides
ttiat the delegates to this 'convention shall
te apportioned according to the votes cast
br presidential electors. The populist com
nlttee apportioned its delegates on the
rotes oast . for a candidate for regent of'
the. state university.
Section 118 of the primary election law
ays, among other things: "Provided that
the delegates of such state or state 'and
tongresslonal conventions shall be appor
tioned by such committees to the several
tountlea upon the vote cast at the last
tlection for electors for president and vice
president In the respective counties."
July 18 Last Day for Fllln-.
Secretary of State Junkln has figured
that the last day that candidates may file
under the primary law is July 18. That
will give the necessary thirty days before
the primary as required by law.
Homesteaders Complain.
Homesteaders in Cherry county have
Igaln appealed to Governor Shallenberger
to save them from destruction at the hands
tt the big cattle men. ' In a letter the exe
cutive received this morning it set out
that the large number of range cattle run
kins wild over Cherry county are ruining
mm crops i me settlers ana leaving them
radically without prospects ,of food for
ihe winter. The letter said an appeal was
bade to the county attorney, who said the
inly remedy was for the settlers to fence
tp the cattle or herd them and then de
Baud damages through the courts. This,
the letter said, the settlers were not finan
cially able to do. The letter waa signed
py J. W. McCloud, Wesley McPherson, C.
E. BHvens, I. H. White and Mrs. Laura

DraeTsTlSta and I.lqnor Sales.
Tbe excise board today refused to grant
any permits to druggists to sell liquor, but
told the into go ahead and as long as there
were no complaints or anw dlstrubances
It would be all right, though the police are
to raid the drug stores whenever they

For these reasons I applaud your con
ference. A. ,
i know verv well that some skeptical
spirits, saturated In gross materialism or
cold positivism, may smile at your initiative
and tax you with Utopian optimism or with
being well-meaning dreamers, shutting

Tours, gentlemen. Is not an optimlstto
Idealism, nor an idle dream. The elements
ot fact in which you will agree are nu
merous and are common to the various
Christian denominations and they can
therefore serve as a point of departure for
your discussions.
Universal Religion Necessary.
It Is therefore legitimate to aspire to a
unity of faith and of religious practice
and to work for its realisation by the con
secration of ail energies ot mind and heart.
It is a work, wa la our day may well co
operate. We are united in the profound conviction
that a universal religion ts necessary and
that this must be the Christian religion;
not a celd and formal religion, a thing
apart from human Ufa, bnt a living force,
pervading the human soul in its essence
and its various manifestations, a religion in
short, which completes and crowns our life
Most persona, even those who. are ordinarily' strong and health, need a
$mic and blood purifier In tbe Spring. Some have no particular ailment, but are
weak, debilitated and run-down. Winter life with Its decreased amount of out
floor exercise, and the fact that cold weather has kept the pores of the skin closed,
prevented the proper amount of waste and refuse matter from being expelled
from the system. These Impurities entering the circulation have thinned and
weakened the bloed, and the body therefore does not receive a sufficient amount
of blood nourishment. The general bodily weakness, tired feeling, fickle ap
petite, poor digestion, etc., show hew anaemic the blood has become. Frequently

Again, all of you feel the need of a
church whloh may be the outward mani
festation of your faith and religious feeling,
the vigilant custodian now and here of
Christian doctrine and tradition. It sus
tains and keeps alive religious and individ
ual activity, in spite ot that strong power
of suggestion which collectivity always ex
ercises on the Individual.
Finally, from the various churches and
religious denominations into which you
Christians are divided there arises a new
unifying element, a noble aspiration, re
straining too great Impulsiveness, leveling
dividing barriers and working for the real
ization of the one holy church through all
the children of redemption.
"On this common ground, gentlemen, hav
ing your minds liberated from all passions
or sectarian intolerance, animated on the
contrary by Christian charity, bring to
gether into one focus the results of your
studies, the teachings of experience,
whether Individual or collective, calmly
carry a research and promote discussion.
May truth be as a shllng light, illuminat
ing your consciences and making you all of
one heart and one mind. My desire for
you Is but the echo of Christ's words, which
have resounded through the centuries. Let
there be one flock and one shepherd.
