HOWELL OVERRULED
AT LINC01MEETING
Tail, to Get Eii Amendment Pro
viding for Convention Plan
Through.
IS ONLY ONE VOTTHa FOR IT
(Trent a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Bept. 30. Speclal.)-The
meeting held yesterday to perfect plans
for carrying out a campaign for a consti
tutional convention was not all harmont
ma. Aa a general thing all present were
anxious for a convention, but the war to
fet It and the methods to be used brought
eut a great deal of discussion, although
at the close all appeared to be In harmony
with the plan adopted.
The real fight of the meeting came
when B. B. Howell of Omaha opposed the
plans of the committee which called "for
the circulation of petitions calling upon
voters to express at the next election
their choice of whether they favored a
constitutional convention or not, the call
ing of the convention to be governed by
the feellnga of the voters.
Howell Opioe Plan.
Mr. Howell opposed the Plan and of
fered a substitute that the committee
ghould at once draw up a new constitu
tion and aubmlt It to the voters at the
next election. He advanced the novel
argument In favor of his plan that It
would not carry because the "special in
terests" would be so much opposed to
the new constitution that they would de
feat It by promising the people that If
It waa defeated that the legislature would
then go to work and call a constitutional
convention. He said the plan was a good
ne because it would make a campaign
ef education and prepare the people for
the adoption of the new constitution and
besides the thing could be done In one
half the time taken for the plan of the
Committee.
M. A. Hall of Omaha wanted to know
what authority Mr. Howell had for as.
tiring the meeting that the "special In
terests" would promise the people that
the legislature would call a constitutional
convention If the voters would vote down
the constitution prepared by the commit
tee and again if he thought the members
of the legislature would vote for some
thing ( the people had rejected at the
polls. Some one else put a crimp In Mr.
Howell's plan by telling him that the
legislature had no authority to call a
constitutional convention, but could only
submit the proposition of a convention to
the people.
Whan the vote waa put Mr. Howell's
amendment waa defeated, Mr. Howell
himself being the only one voting for his
Plan.
The plan of the committee as finally re
vised la as follows:

Chickens Conic Homo to Roost
H KHXKST M'GAl'FKY.
Recited by Mr. Sunday at Conclusion of HI Sermon to Men Bun Jay.
You may take the world aa It comes and It goes.
And you will be sure to find
That fate will aquare the account he owes
Whoever conies out behind;
And all things bad that a man has done,
Py whatsoever Induced,
Return at last to hlra one by one.
As the chickens come home to roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch and save
While your hoarded wealth expands,
Till the cool, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearlng your life's last sands;
You will find your balances struck some night,
And you'll find your hoard reduced;
You'll view your life In another l'ght,
When the chickens come home to roost. '
You can stint your soul and starve your heart
With the husks of a barren creed,
But Christ will know if you play a part,
Will know In your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come,
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed alone? You will He there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost
Sow as you will, there's a time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well.
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep.
Is either a heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find a place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face to face,
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you're over or under the sod,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hand of God;
You must bear your sin or shame,
Ho matter what's carved on a marble slab,
When the items are produced,
You'll find that St. Peter was keeping tab,
When the chickens come home to roost.

GERMANY REJOICES IN
POSSESSION OF HELIGOLAND
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
AMSTERDAM. July 27.-The German
newspapers publish long eulogies of the
the German emperor on the occasion of
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the sign
ing of the agreement with Great Britain
for the cession to Germany of the Island
of Heligoland.
The editors pay tribute to the em
peror a foresight In obtaining the Island,
without which the present defense of the
German coast and tho development of
the Gorman navy would have been Im
possible. Had the emperor riot taken
Heligoland," remarks one editor, "the
present war would have been impossible
for Germany."

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EAST TO KAXX AsTS COSTS UTTX.8
Catarrh la such an insidious disease and
has become so prevalent during the past
few yeara that Its treatment should be
understood by all.
Science has fully proved that Catarrh
Is a constitutional disease and therefore
requires a constitutional treatment.
Sprays, Inhalers, salves and nose douches
seldom If ever give lasting benefit and
often drive the disease further down the
air passages and Into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deaf
nesa or head-noises, go to your druggist
and get one ounce of Parmlnt (Double
strength). Take this home and add to it
Vi pint of hot water and 4 ouncea of gran
ulated sugar; stir until dissolved, take
one tablespoonful 4 times a day.
This will often bring quick relief from
the distressing head nolaea, clogged nos
trils should open, breathing become easy
and mucus stop dropping Into the throat
This treatment has a slight tonlo action
which makes It especially effective In
casea where the blood has become thin
and weak. It Is easy to make, tastes
pleasant and costs little. Every person
who wishes to be free from this destruo
tlve disease should give this treatment a
trial. Advertisement
