Commoner May Ran. FOUR THOUSAND SIGN PETITION (From a Staff Correspondent.) LN'CLN, March 18. (Special.) William J. Bryan Is a democrat and entitled to run for delegate at large to the national democratic convention, Secretary of State Pool says so, and that settles the matter. The question arose on a protest sent In to the secretary of state by R. W. Wilted of Omaha against the name of Mr. Bryan going on the primary ballot as delegate to the national convention. The protest set forth that Bryan had broken faith with the democrats of Nebraska at the Baltimore convention and in other ways had violated democratic principles. In giving his opinion Secretary of State Pool said that as over ,000 democrats had signed a petition for Mr. Bryan and only one had protested, he would rule that Mr. Bryan was a democrat and will so remain unless the courts decide he Is otherwise. A story in connection with the filing of Mr. Whlted'a protest is that after Governor Holeomb had commissioned Mr. Bryan colonel of the Third Nebroska reg iment over Colonel Vlfqualn, a tried and experienced military man, that Whlted went to Colonel Eryan for an appoint ment as a captain or lieutenant, but was turned down.

Has Proven That It Is Both Possible and Profitable to Combine the Smartest Styles With Moderateness in Price. Fifth Avenue styles at Omaha prices ' is the claim made by Jullua Orkin, the active head of the hi? three-floor ladies' apparel estab lishment at 1508-1010 Douglas street. And surely his claim must be more than mere store talk, when one stops to consider the remark able growth which his store has attained in a comparative tew years. Wherever smartly frocked femininity flocks now-a-days, tha "wonderfully good-looking! things" at Julius Oi kin's generally corus up for discussion. "Style Is style," said Mr. Orkin. and there Is neither virtue nor value in half-hearted style effort. That's why I feature it. But while 1 realise that style must corns first, it is not by any means al) there is to be considered In ladles' apparel. Garments must be "good." all the way through before they reach my standard of approval. With every store talking "style" now-a-days, the problem that con fronts the buying public is where to find the KIGHT style where to find the store that sponsors only the Truly New and Different, What a pleasure to enter a Btore that you know has solved the style problem for you that has lifted this burden from your taxed brain that has entirely relieved you of the trouble some care that con fronts you in many stores, or try ing to pick the new from the old. Such a store Is Julius Orkln's! Ah, but you say, why Julius Orkln's? And here is the sequel? Mr. J. n. Orkin, brother of Julius Orkin, conducts a similar store for ladies at Kifth avenue and Thirty fourth street. New York. He is right In the style center and catera to women who know styles from K to Z. Naturally he is keen to the wants of these women, and Is close to the manufacturers and their rapid style changes. When some thing new appears that finds Im mediate favor with New York women, he buys for the Omaha store and rushes theni here by express. That's why you'll see styles at Coal Production of Germany Last Year At About Normal (Correspondence of the Associated Press ) ltKRLlN, Feb. 2.V The wlm'tlnn of coal In Germany In 1PIS made a very good showing In spite of the shortage of labor caused by tho war. The year's output reached a total of 112 om tons, or only 14.XUW less than for 1914, and 44.SOO.Oiio less than for the record year of 1!UX Of brown coal, or lignite, the production last year was the greatest ever known, having reached SS.WIUW tons, or about l.Wo.ooo more than for 191". Coke production also kept up re markable well. It amounted to Srt.IWi.OOO tons, or about ,',700.0 tons less than for 1913. The production of brlkets from both coal waste and Unnlte was the larg est ever known. In view of the fact tli.it fully one third of the miners were culled Into service upon the outbreok of the war, and that further considerable withdrawals proceeded during the last twelve months, tho production of coal Is regarded as remarkable. Tho labor supply bos been kept up as far as possible In several ways. Men who had worked hitherto above ground or as assistants to the regular miners, took the places of the latter, when called into service, so far as this could be done; and women and younger boys were taken on to do the work above ground. Prisoners of war have also been employed In considerable numbers, partly as full miners, but for the most part as unskilled help above and under ground. The production of coal would have been even greater than It was. but for the fact that, during the December quar ter, a marked shortage of coal cars pre vented the full operation of the mines. Owing to the scarcity of labor and the Increased cost of living miners' woges have been advanced. The latest figures available give 7.04 marks as the wage of the highest class of miners for a shift of eight hours In the great min ing district around Essen, which com pares with about t marks at the be ginning of the war. In the northern part of the coal district, wages run as high as 7.33 marks. While nearly all commodities have risen in price pretty sharply in Germany since Julv. 1914, the advance In coal has been very moderate. There have thus far been two changes In the scale, amounting to 3 marks, or 76 cents a ton. This makes a good showing compared with Kng land. where Cardiff coal has risen SI. 20 and Durham bunker coal, l-.oO. The Weather Man.
