THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. JUNE 15. 1916. Nebraska GOVERNOR PEARSON IS SUREN THE JOB Gets His Photograph Taken Sitting in the Chair, and Otherwise Acts Like Real Executive HASN'T STARTED MUCH YET (From a 8taff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 14. (Special.) Act' ing Governor James Pearson is mak ine liay while the sun shines. He does not propose to let future pos tenty torget that for a short time greatest agricultural state in the Union, and this morning called photographer to his office, closed the door and dared him to do this worst. What the resulwill be is not known just now. Whether the picture taken or the present executive was a flash light showing him snugly filling the guoernatonal seat, or a motion pic ture displaying him signing requisi tions, extraditions, commissions and such, will remain a mystery until such time as the photographer's work is given tnc spot light. Has the Habit. Be that as it may, Governor Pear son nas already got the governor habit. He reached the office about the regular governor time this morn ing, received the anxiously waiting public in the usual governor way, and really appears to enjoy the novelty of governing the state, although he has had little to do so far but the routine work of the office. Yester day he affixed his official signature to a permit for visitors to visit the penitentiary and this morning granted a requisition asked for by Governor Capper of Kansas for the return to that state of a supposed lawbreaker. Nobody F ired Yet. , The members of the State Railway commission are doing business at the old stand, and have nto followed the orders given them yesterday to secure bonds or secure another job. Just what the members of the commission will do if Governor Pearson and At torney General Reed declare them non compus mentis e pluribus unum or something like that, and thev have to quit. Taylor sold his newspaper soon after assuming the office of commissioner, and therefore would be in hard luck. Hall has got entirely out ot touch with the law business, although he has gained a great deal ot experience in running an automo bile and might get a job as chauffeur somewhere, while Clarke would have no visible means of support as he has been on the commission so long lie would have to start all over new. Perhaps that is the reason that Governor Pearson is not pushing his proposition ot the commissioners go ing to the expense and trouble of securing bonds. Japs Are Leaving California in Hurry (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 14. (Special.) "The Japs are all leaving California," said Hon. R. P. Staf of Loup City, who with his son was a guest at the Lindell hotel today, while talking with a representative of the Bee. "I do not know why," said he, "but many of them are leaving and dropping every thing. Close to where my sister lives they have departed and have left their gardens to take care of them selves. Many tracts set out to toma toes have been abandoned. Just what it means 1 cannot discover. Mr. Star has been visiting in Cali fornia for sonic weeks and returned about a week ago. He says that out in California and along the road most of the people appeared to be for Roosevelt before the convention, and were equally strong against Wilson. "Those people out there have it in for the president strong," said Mr. Star. "I do not know what their attitude will be now, as I left there before the result of the Chicago con ventions was announced, but 1 am of the opinion that most of the coast states, if not all of them, can be safely counted for Mr. Hughes." DRUGGISTS MARCH IN FLAG DAY PARADE AT HASTINGS Hastings, Neb., June 14. (Special Telegram.) The hundred visiting drugsists attending the state pharma ceutical convention marched in a Flag day parade today, each display ing the national colors. The conven tion opened last night with a large attendance. President Reezinger of Fremont, responding to Mayor Madgett's address of welcome, Lin coln, Beatrice and North Platte are seeking the 1917 convention. Man Killed by Train Near Candy. Stapleton, Neb., June 14. (Special Telegram.) Carl Cappell, a one armed young man who has been about Stapleton for the past few days, was instantly killed near Gandy this morning by an east bound train. The engineer saw hiin sitting on the track and sounded the whistle several times, but he paid no heed to the warning. The body was badly mangled. Noth ing is known here of his previous res idence or his relatives. Seth Bullock Says T. E. Isfar Hughes Deadwood, S. D., June 14. (Spe cial Telegram) Sew Bullock, close friend of Roosevelt for years, just returned from Chicago, where he was a national delegate in the republican convention, gives the firm opinion that Roosevelt will support Hughes. Captain Bullock is known as one of the leading progressive republicans of the state and he has assured Jus--ice Hughes of his support. Constipation ana Indigestion. "I have used Chamberlain's Tab lets and must say "they are the best I have ever used for constipation and indigestion. My wife also used them for indigestion and they did her good," writes Eugene S. Knight, Wil mington, N. C. Chamberlain's Tab lets are mild and gentle in their ac tion. Give them a trial. You are cer tain to be pleased with the agreeable laxative effect which they produce.

WELL KNOWN TO THE PIONEERS Nebraska (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., June 14. C. S. Paine, secretary and treasurer of the Mississippi Valley Historical associa tion, secretary and registrar of the Sons of the American Revolution and secretary of the Nebraska State His tcrical society, died here this morn ing after an illness of live days. He was also secretary and treasurer of the Nebraska Territorial Pioneers' as sociation. He was taken sick while attending the Mississippi Valley His toric! association meetings at Nash ville, lenn., a month ago and is thought to never have completely re covered. He was 48 years old. The announcement came as a shock to the people of Lincoln, many of whom did not know he was even ill, and at first it was supposed that mistake had been made. Mr. Paine leaves a wife and four children, the oldest being Mrs. Edward Slater of Omaha. The other three, two sons and a daughter, residing a thome. One of the great ambitions of Mr. Paine's life was to see Nebraska have a historical building of its own and to this end he had worked unceas ingly. However, Nebraska legisla tures had always been deaf to his entreaties, and while hundreds of thousands of dollars of priceless relics lay unprotected in different places, the members of the legislature could not see it Mr. Paine's way, and he has gone to his grave with his efforts in this line unrewarded, while the work of years is liable to be wasted uness a future legislature is more generous than those of the past. No arrangements have yet been made for his funeral. Complaint From Quarrymen. Railway Commissioner Clarke and Rate Clerk Powell went to Meadow today to investigate a complaint made by owners of stone quarries that the Rock Island railroad was not giving them cars sufficient to ship their product. It has been un derstood that the sand and stone dealers were to be given an even chance on the cars, but the latter claim that they have not been given their share. Judges Off to Visit Bar. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Morrissey, Associate Justices Faw- cett and Barnes, and District Judge Cornish of Lincoln journyed to North Flatte today to attend the meeting of the Western Nebraska bar associa tion ,all of them being on the program. Receiver for Decatur Bank. The secretary of the state banking board, t. Koyse, announces that his department has received notice that Douglas U. Wftitcomb ot Walthill, has been appointed to take charge of the defunct Decatur State bank, recently shown to be in a bid condition. Pearson Signs Requisition. Governor Pearson this morning signed a requisition presented by an officer from Kansas sent by Gover nor Capper asking for the return to that state of David A. Ranson, charged by his wife with wife and child abandonment. Ranson is being held by the sheriff of Richardson county. ANOTHER SHIPMENT OF HOGS VIA RIVER ENROUTE HERE Another cargo of fat hogs is on the way to the South Side market from Decatur, aboard the Julius F. Silbcr. The stock belongs to lames Con- nealy of Decatur. This will make the second cargo of hogs to be brought down the river aboard a barge this summer. POSTMASTERS KEEP BUSY AT LINCOLN Annual Convention Finds Time Well Filled With Papers and Discussions on Work. OFFICERS MAY ALL HOLD OVER OMAHA BOY GRADUATES FROM UNI OF ILLINOIS Urbana. III..

Indlgvfttkm Due to Conatlpatlon. Take a doae of Dr. Klnir'a New Life Plll tonight. See how much better you feel In the morning. 26c. All druggist Adv. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 14. (Special.) Ne braska postmasters are enjoying a fine session at the Lincoln hotel in this city this week. The association started yesterday and since then has kept up a steady business session, only stopping to cat and sleep. Today the women of the session were treated to an automobile ride to the principal points of interest, the penitentiary, state farm and other places. The convention opened this morn ing with the crowd singing "The Bat tle Hymn of the Republic," following which Rev; Mr. Chapman prayed for all the democrats present. A harp selection by Miss Marjoric Shanefelt of Lincoln prepared the way for an interesting discussion on "Advantages of a Railway Postal Clerk Being Post master," If' '" Postmaster A. G. Nel son of Norfolk. E. G. Bivms, superintendent of the mails of the Lincoln office, read a paper, "The Parcel Post and Things in Connection." Following this was a discussion from the question box, in charge of Inspector V. M. Coble of Omaha. Missed the Senator. In the afternoon the convention was billed for a speech from Senator Hitchcock, but the senator could not be present, owing to pressing business in St. Louis. However, the members were favored with a piano solo by Miss Louise Misko ot Urd and ; reading by Mrs. L. E. Evans of Lin coin. A paper by L. B. Tanney of the Lincoln money order department with ano ther discussion from the question box closed the day's session. It is said that there is a sentiment favoring the retention of the present officers for another year and that an effort will be made to change the con stitution so that the executive com mittee may set the date of het con vention to any week in June. The present constitution fixes the specific date each year and the convention is up against two very serious handicaps, according to one of the members. Many who would have liked to be at the convention are in St. Louis, while worse than that, the convention is meting when there are no ball games m Lincoln, these two very serious obstacles to a season ot joy will be fixed so that there will be nothing after this but the changes coming from a shift from a democratic to a republican administration at Washing ton to keep present members from enjoying themselves in the future, GENERAL CULVER SAYS HUGHES WILL SUIT COAST (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 14. (Special.) Gen eral J. H. Culver of Milford, who has been spending several months in Cal ifornia, returned to Nebraska this morning and visited a short time at the state house with old friends. General Culver is feeling much im proved from his trip, and says that he is able now to reach his hat so he can tip it when he meets the ladies, some thing he could not do when he left Nebraska last fall, which means a great deal for the general. He is of the opinion that the nom ination of Judge Hughes will meet the approval of most of the progress ives in California. The radicals may do a lot of balking, but the rang and file of that party will be found sup porting Mr. Hughes in November. "If the country needs my services in case of trouble with Mexico," said the general, "1 expect to offer my services." General Culver is a retired officer, having served in three wars already, the Civil,' the Indian and Spanish American, and would like to take a hand in another if the oppor tunity presented itself.
