Control of County Committee Sought
by Each Paction In the Lin
coln Postninntcrsliip Con
troversy, (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 36.-(i3pcolaI.)-rr a
few days the situation In Mexico has had
tho effect of making democrats around
Lincoln forgot their differences, but It Is
now apparent that tho factional fight will
again take tho renter of the sta4, and
Chairman Hcser of the Lancaster county
central committee appears to bo the
Huerta of tho democratic county com- (
However, Hester Is not a candidate for ,
re-election to the chairmanship, because
ne wants to bo United States marshal.
But that does not deter tho Johnsotiltes
and tho Brownltcs from getting Into a
fight over the chairmanship, and an ef
fort to control the county committee.
In the fight for the Lincoln postofflce.
A, V. Johnson received tho support of
Congressman Magulrc, while F. W.
Brown Is supported by tho Brynns and
had tho endorsement of Chairman Hes
ter. This has Incurred the Ill-will of the
Johnson faction and they propose to go
Into the fight in the county committee
nnd capture tho organization if they can.
On the other hand, tho supporters of Mr.
Bryan nro just as determined that the
Johnsonltcs shall not secure control. The
result to a certain extent will enter Into
the congressional situation.
It 1b sold that Governor Morhead will
endeavor to poUr oil upon the troubled
waters and at noon spoke to the county
democracy and endeavored to stem the
tide of battle. But tho fight has gone so
far that It Is doubtful whether the gov
ernor can bring the two factions to
gether. Ex-Governor Shallenberger also tried
to talk along friendly lines, but tho
speches of both the past and present
governors was more along tho lints of a
mutual admiration stunt, both gentle
men telling how much he admired the
other and how democracy would suffer
If both should leave the political arena.
With A. V. Johnson, "Bob" Malone and
two or three other fighters on one Bide
and F. W. Brown, Charlie Bryan, Tom
Allen and a few more Bryanltes on the
other, with the governor wedged In be
tween, It Is doubtful what the result may
be, and the govornor himself may suffer
ponwhut from tho cross-firing of tho
two factions.

LONDON, April 35. Kuropean courts
face what Is practically a widespread
strike on the part of princesses against
matrimony made to order. Individual
protests against being made a victim ot
tho old system whereby royal children
have no volco In the selection ot lite
partners are ns old as the system itself,
but tho stand now taken, particularly by
the princesses, Is said to ni.pear like a
concert of action, it Is a blow to tho
royal mutch makers, who blame both the
scarcity of princesses nnd the growth or
feminism Tor the failure of their pot
system. In this connection It Is known
that many of the royal dowagors are in
clined to lay the responsibility for this
state of affalis on tho fair shoulders ot
Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter
of tho governor general of Canada, who
Is said, during her residence In the new
world to have acquired certain odious
democratic Ideals not all In harmony
with her station.
The recent birth of a son to the duchess
ot Brunswick, the only daughter of Em
peror William of Germany, has served
to call attention asaln to the small num
ber of princesses nnd has given further
fore to tho excuse ot the royal bachelors
that they nro unable to find suitable
partners of their own rank. This excuse
may or may not bo entirely valid, but It
Is undoubtedly true that both the young
men and women of the royal circles show
a distinct disinclination toward matri
mony made to order.
Among the eligible princesses who seem
In no hurry to accept (he partners se
lected for them by their royal parents
are the elder daughters of tho Emperor
Nicholas of Russia, notably the Grand
Duchess Tatlaim, the boauty ot tho Rus
sian Imperial family, and Princess Kllto
both ot Roumania. Tho latter Is really a
beautiful girl and any debutante might
envy her ierfect features, her cloud of
lovely hair and her very expressive eyes.
Both he and her younger ststor, Princess
Marie, have Inherited the wonderful Co
burg elegance coupled with the half-gay.
half-sad charm ot their native land.
But the strike la not confined entirely
to feminine sprigs of royalty. It Is oven
said that tho Prtnco of Wales, the most
eligible of royal' bachelor?, has turned up
his nose at the suggestions ot a union
with a very high-placed, but extremely
unattractive princess.

cations than any other organ. The kid
neys are two large glands situated near
the mtddlo of tho back and their func
tion Is to purify every ounce of blood in
the body, and to do this they must be In
a healthy condition. If they become In
flamed, congested or otherwise weakened
In their action, tho ploson remains In the
blood, and the whole system becomes Im
pregnated. Tho general symptoms are
backache, loss of appetite, headache, tor
pid liver, constipation. Indigestion, nerv
ousness, drowsiness, sleeplessness, skin
troubles, malaria, etc. If you have any
of these symptoms, you should at once
commence taking Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Remedy, which for 37 years
has been the standard remedy for the
kidneys and liver, and today it stands
without a rival In healing
with certainty the frail tub
ular structures constituting)
those important organs. It
Is a sure antidote to polsone
formed In the human body,
owing to Incapable action ot
the kidneys and liver, elim
inating .through the kidneys,
bowels and skin all morbid
and unhealthy accumulation
from tho system. It will
help you from tho very first
dose. At all druggists In 60c
