S.rf. of SU,r GcorSe r- Ju of

with relatives In Lincoln and with hie
on, George, jr.. call-d t the state house
his morning. Mr. Junkln was the repub
lican candidate for the state, senate from
that section of the cattle country, but
l not hero to pick his Feat. He said
that he lad decided to Rive his dtm
ocratlo opitonent a chante In the senate
and seo how lie would "like It.
While Mr. Junkln Is not feeling, very
badly over his defeat and. In fact. Is
lather clad of It. ho says what pleases
him better than Anything ele Is the
voto which President Taft received In
N'ebraska.
'Why." said lie. "if so many of the
Taft men who were afraid that Hoose
elt would carry the state had not voted
for Wilson, wo would have stood second.
Out in our little precinct I told George,
my son, on election morning that I was
afraid the president would not set over
six or eight ovtes, and he got twenty,
while Teddy pot only thirty. It was the
decision of the supreme court which did
the business. It hurt the legislative
ticket, but It saved the state .ticket."
Mr. Junkln said that there had been
considerable snow already ott In Gosper
ounty. ahoiit six Inches having fallen on
a level, and while It did not stay very
long, some o fthc drifts left now are
three or four feet high.
Mr. Junkln is making a. business trip
to Iowa and left this afternoon for
Omaha, where he will stop off until to
morrow. State Auditor Barton went to Omaha
today on business connected with his
ofllce.

Among the applications before the board
of pardons last week the following were
filed with Governor Aldrlch this morning
for his approval or disapproval. The
board recommended that John Walker,
sent up front Thurston county for thirty
years for manslaughter, should have his
time cut down to the minimum sentence
of ten years and that at the end of that
timo If he conlnues to be a model prisoner,
lie should he paroled, the same to extend
to the time of his original sentence of
thirty years. He was committed to the
penitentiary April 2C, 1906, and would
therefore have about four years more to
serve before his parole could be granted.

was among tho association members and
throughout the state generally a better
feeling toward Omaha than thcro had
been twelve months before the association
had ever met In this city.
O. G. Smith of Kearney, cx-presldcnt of
tho association, responded also, making
some pointed remarks on tho South i
Omaha live stock market. "I want to
say." ho concluded, "that everyone of
us In the association, from every part of
the state, ere boosting for this South
Omaha live stock market. While in Chl-

Plans for the possible organization of a
mutual insurance company among the
farmers' co-operative grain and live stock
organizations, of the state will be dls
cussed. This, according to E. P. Huhbai
vice president of tho organization, Is to !
be ono of the big topics of the .associa
tion. Mr. Hubbard says that In Iowa the
farmers' grain and live stock shipping
associations have a mutual Insurance
company and that the plan has been
found to work well. In this state he says
(he need for such an organization is
deeply felt by those engaged in this bUBl
noss as the Insurance rates on elevators
are too high.
"The average Insurance rate per $100 In
this state on grain elevators is $1.00,"
said Mr. Hubbard. "The average ele
vator of the state carries an Insurance
in the sum of $4,000. That means an an
nual premium of $60. We all feel that 's
entirely too much. What we want to do
Is get this reduced some way, or perhaps
organize a mutual company as the or
ganizations have dono In Iowa."
Coimlder Car Shortage,
Among other matte: s that nre to hold
prominent places In the business, to be
taken up In the sessions of the associa
tion arc the matters of shortngo in
transit, car shortage, etc. The prominent
members say thb sessions will be marked
by less talk and more action direct to
the point than In former association
meetings. They hold that their every ac
tion will be as friendly to the receiving
associations as tho commission men and
others, and their aim "will simply be to
better the conditions under which the
farmers' elevators and shipping associa
tions operate, Four departments, one for
each session, will make up tho program. 1
Under side lines for the farmers' ele
vator will bo taken up coal, lumber, live
stock, milling. Implements and mutual
Insurance. It Is expected that the osso
c.'atlon may be able to provide a way to
get cheaper coal, Improve conditions of
handling live stock, and procuie cheaper
Insurance. Under transportation, losses
