RESULT Of CAPITAL CITY FIGHT
From a Staff OorrsspondMit.)
LINCOLN, Mar 6.-(Bpeclal.)-Tr.e elec
tion of Charles W. Bryan aaone of the
my commissioners of Lincoln, and the
probability that he wilt be selected by
Ms associates for mayor has caused the
rollCTcal prophets to agree that Mr.
fryan -will be a candidate for the demo
t ratio nomination for governor.
It was an open secret during the cam
Vi'irn that Mr. Bryan desired the elee
Hon as a stcpplnr stone to the governor
rhlp. The democrats of Nebraska may then
lave an opportunity to select William
.!. Bryan for the Vnlted States senate.
Tn the Bryan followers this looks rr.lnhty
good, but the prospect of such a condi
tion has already ruffled the feathers of
some democrats who might be willing
stand for either, hut do not feel like
swallowing them both.

Olit1liiin to 'nnnoi!ntln.
Mr. Teed of the slat superintendent's
offjep was In Howe last nifctit at a
meeting of the patron of se-ral li
trlet schools outstd" of Howe to discuss
the consolidation of tlto districts into
one school. Eight districts were repre
sented and the movement appeared to
meet with much favor. There Is ono
drawback to the consolidation, which ap
pears to be the case in most of tho places
where consolidations are desired.
The patrons of the country districts 'lo
not want to go In with the village
schools. For some reason there is a
sort of jealousy between the country and
the village schools which may damper
the successful carrying out of the con
solidation scheme.
Generally speaking, In the smaller
towns it would lie easy to consolidate
the districts adjoining with the town
school, but this does not seem to be de
sired. The consolidation proposition has
been a great success In other stales uml
it Is hoped that the same succes will
be brought out in this state. Counting
the city schools with the country schools
I is shown that there Is eighteen pupils
on an averago to each teacher.
In Indiana there are twenty-five pupils
to each teacher and In Massachusetts,
where the consolidation system has been
running for thirty-five years, there or
thirty-five students to each teacher. Jt
la Just as easy and Just ss cheap to
teach two dosen pupils or more an it is
to tech half a dosen. and for that reason
the state superintendent desires that the
consolidation scheme be generally
adopted In districts whero a better con
dition could bo brought about.
Miss Lathrop went to Trumble tonight
to work up the proposition there and
Superintendent Thomas will follow to
morrow, when he will address the pat
rons on the consolidation scheme.

Man Tell Matter Brewers' Convention
Prof. Charles Frederick Chandler is the
ranking Prof essor of Chemistry at Columbia
University, New York City, the largest
University in the world.
"Beer' said Prof. Chandler, "is a bever
age prepared from barley, water, hops and
yeast lieerisfood. American beer con
tains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per
cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is
real brain food. Beer and bread are both
made from cereals; bread with water and
is solid; beer with more water and is
liquid.. Yeast converts both into palatable
and readily digested food. Both contain
alcohol. Beer is not Intoxicating in ordin
ary quantities and beer is one of the foods
that is free from bacteria. It is appetiz
ing and aids digestion. I have had some
experience with beer and have been a con-
. sumer. I have enjoyed most perfect health
and I guess I am a pretty good specimen'
of the food value of beer. ' ,
"I don't believe there Is any beer made
in the United States that is what you call
' adulterated. It may be misbranded, but
not adulterated. If the 'prohibitionists
drive beer from the household they will
deprive a large part of the population of a
wholesome article of food. There you have
reasons enough why beer has become our
national beverage."
