HE FLATS ADMINISTRATION
Plattsburg, N. Y, Sept 1J, Clurles
li. Hughes, in the last speech of his
first presidential campaign trip, as-
, serted last night before a crowd
that filled the ope house, that the
result itt Maine -had . proved -the re
y publican party was reunited. He.de.
I dared that the party would not
'"' "change its plans Or aims." Per
sons in the audience took the remark
to apply to criticisms of the methods
pursued in the conducting of the pres.
:nt campaign, and applauded the nom
inee vigorously. ; . .
"I come to you" Mr. Hughes said,
"As the spokesman of a reunited
republican party. We have said it
was reunited, we have devoutly honed
it was reunited." Now Maine proves
that it is reunited. - Whoever was
l ! t. i. .1.-a L-r u:j.
his cynicism, now. We shall aban
don no efforts. We shall not change
our' plans or aims, but we shall go
forward with renewed confidence be
cause the old state in the northeast
corner-has spoken in no uncertain
- way, , ' :" -
. . Hits in-Many Places. "
He assailed the Wilson administra
tion for failure to reduce the cost of
living, for extravagance., for failure
to protect American lives and rights
' abroad,, and' for failure fo "live "op
1 to its promise, to. observe the merit
;ivstm. - I hft nominee emohasizea
previous declarations that the cam
paign was a "good natured" one. -
"It is a time for assessment, for
appraisal, and for candid statement,"
he said. , "No'one in. this country can
object to fuU and fair dscussion. That'
is the very spirit of our institutions.
"I : do sot desire, in speaking: of
those-who do not agree with me, fo
manifest the slightest disrespect. If
the argument is sound, it will carry
without any suggestion of personal
enmity. - We do not need that in our'
campaigns.; What we need is fairness
Jfa truth, and then let the elctorate
- ; Still High as Even ; '
"Otir friends on the other side said
that the republican party Was respon
sible for the high cost of living. They
, have been in power for some time and
I do not ' See that the liigh cost of
V living has been reduced. - It was said
they would dispose of many useless
offices. The abolition of useless offi
ces has not been quite so apparent
as the appointment of useless offi
cers." "; , ... ,.
Earlier in the day,, the nominee
visited: the military training camp
here, remaining for dinner with Major
General Leonard Wood; Tonight
Mr. Hughes praised the camp in his.
speech. i , . ... Jiii'J-
"It is training school .in-democ-'

knjts men together in- wholesome
comradeship. It is preparedness, not

the house - of the widow last fall
through the aid of one of her servants,
Pnnoi Talus, strangled the woman
and made away with jewelry and
money .Talus was arrested and the

A nation-wide search was begun
for Waltonen, whose name was re

TEMPERANCE TALK
Prohibition Speaker at Open
Air Meeting Finds Little
Response.
VOTERS SHOW NO INTEREST
Mrs. George W. Covell made a fat
tling good'prohibition talk at Fortieth
and Cuming streets last night. The
trouble was there was no one to listen
to it. That is, no one who had any
vote. . '" " ,
. There were about ten men, an equal
number of young boys who hadn't
reached voting age,- twice as many
children of the neighborhood, who
were attracted liy the .temperance
songs and a few women, -members of
the..Women'fl. Christian1 Temperance
union. "They- were -included ; ' in the
prohibition cavalcade, - consisting of
two automobile loads, headed by Mrs.
Covetl. A few more heard snatches

street cars at. the intersection.

to prevent rowdyism, but they spent

to, he'll take the ronseqUences,' they
say. It isn't, true. If a man drinks, it
is his wife and little children who
take the consequences," she declared
in an impassioned tone.

(Special. ; Telegram.) Tiiat Mrs.
Lucy Goddard, whose incinerated
body was fqund in her home, after a
fire last night, Was first murdered by
shooting, was absolutely proveti to
day when Dr. Boyden, after, a careful
examination of the remains, showed
two bullets extracted from the body,
one of which penetrated ,the heart.
That a fight took place within the
little home of-the--woman just before
-the murder and that the assailant
then poured half of the contents of a
large oil lamp over her body and
the bed clothing and set fire to the
same, is the theory of the sheriff and

different - lines to apprehend the
slayer. - ,
Police are holdins a man named
Hoop as a witness and are looking
for Red Gardner, . a local carpenter
and former contractor, who has been
involved-..with the woman. . It is
stated by Hoop, that Gardner was
jealous of him, had choked Mrs. God;
dard. for letting Hoop come and see
her and had met him late yesterday.

gun yesterday, and . to have made
threats at Hoop. Since the crime he
has disappeared. .

Those of us who are accustomed
to feet dull and heavy when we arise:

ways by-washing tbe poisohs and tox

hot water each morning. .
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful, of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous day's indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an eripty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said tA be bur a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but. is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
"rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
'subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly. Advertisement. . .

PRESIDENT SEES -MEXICOJEDIATORS
Executive Lends Personal
. Touoh to Efforts of the
Commissioners. -
ASSURANCE OF SYMPATHY
New London, Conn., Sept 13.
President Wilson lent his personal
touch yesterday to aid the efforts of
the American-Mexican joint commis
sion in seeking i permanent founda
tio nof sympathy and understanding,
upon which' may the rest future rela
tion of the United States and Mexico.
Putting aside for one hour his own
cares and his vigil at the bedside of
his sister, who it dying here, Mr.
Wilson exchanged calls with General
Carranza's representatives. It was
the first time during hii administra
tion that the executive had dealt per
sonally with a representative of the
Mexican de facto government, and the
lisnifiranee of this fact was not lost
upon either the American or Mexican
commissioners.
For the first time also, represen
tatives of General Carrania received
directly from the man in whose hands
perhaps lies the fate of their country,
his statement of sympathy with the
acts of the revolution which has torn
Mexico.
Must Come From Within.
; "The regeneration of the stricken
nation must come from within," Mr.
Wilson said. and. in answer for his
colleagues and himself Luis Cabrera,
Carranza's minister of finance and
chairman of the Mexican delegation,
asserted that his country was strug
gling toward the light of free and
democratic government The meet
ing was arranged when the president
arrived yesterday, summoned to the
bedside of his stricken relative, Mrs.
Annie E. Howe. A message of sym
pathy from Mr. Cabrera and his as
sociates was carried to Mr. Wilson
by Secretary Lane, chairman of the
American commission. The message
contained the hope - that the Mexi
can representatives migni pay
their respects to the president in per
son before they returned home. The
executive signified his wish to meet
the Mexican delegates at once. Dur
iiicr such hours as the oresident is
absent from his sister's room he is
living aboard the naval yacht, May
flower, and it was arranged that the
three Mexican commisioners could
pay their visit aboard the ship.
Given Full Naval Honor.
Accompanied by the three Ameri
can delegates, the Mexican party was
taken to the Mayflower in a navy
launch that had been placed at the
services of the joint body. The visi
tors were received with full naval
honors, except that the salute was
omitted. A brief exchange of greet
ings took place in the president's.
salon, secretary une introducing his
Mexican conferees.
Within fifteen minutes after the
Mexican commissioners had returned
to the hotel, where the conferences
are taking place, the president's
barge conveyed the president from
the Mayflower on a return visit At
a hotel pier he was met by Secretary
Lane, Judge Gray and John R. Mott,
the American commissioners, and es
corted to a great sun parlor, where
the Mexican representatives awaited
him. For half an hour the president
and the - six commissioners chatted
informally- Mr. Wilson in the barge
awaited her husband's return. ,
Assurance of Sympathy.
The president went directly to the
subject of the Mexican revolution.
He was, he said, perhaps more fa
miliar than his hearers realized, with
the fundamental principles of the
struggle for free government in Mexi
co.! He assured them of his deep
sympathy with those aims.
Mr. Cabrera, in his reply, referred
to the United States as leader of
the movement for free government,
and as the tutor to whom Mexico
must look in striving for the type of
government its people sought.

TOO MANY W0M1
IN PHI BETA KAPPA
Curtailment of Their Admission
to Society Urged for Sake
of Reputation. .
REPORT NOT ACTED UPON
, Philadelphia, Sept 13. Recom
mendations that measures Tie taken to
curtail the yearly admission of wom
en to membership in the Phi Beta
Kappa were made in the report of
the secretary, Rev. Oscar M. Voor
hees, submitted to the triennial coun,
cil of the society here today. The
recommendation, the report said, was
based npon the fact that of those ad
mitted to membership in the last few
years about one-half were women.
, 'The reputation of the society,"
said the report, "will rest in years to
come upon the work of those whom
we now are electing to membership.
It will be generally conceded, I think,
that a larger .share of its reputation
must come from its men than from
its women members."
. The report was placed In trie hands
of a committee and will be acted
upon by the council later. More than
300 delegates, representing colleges
and universities in all sections of the
country, are in attendance at the
council. The meetings are being held
at the University of Pennsylvania. ,

. According to U. S. Government statistics, Nebraska pro-
siuced 213,000,000 bushels of corn b 1915, of which 20 N
wee shipped out of the . county where it was grown. TWs"
. means diet 42,600,000 bushels of Nebraska corn were eold -for
ehipment in 1915. ,,: .-"" I'y' "!; ;1 T.'
Official reporto for the yeat 1915 thow that about, two s
thirds of th amount shipped, or ZSflOOfiOO bushels, was soft
corn. This soft com was not available for elevator storage. -:
on account of too much moisture in the corn; A small portion ,
of such' com can be dried, but the bulk of it was used for,
'distilling purpose. ; ; ; '
According to government statistics, the estimated farm
value of com for 1915 was' 61 cents per bushel, an average
which could not have been maintained had it not been . for '
the fact that the soft corn was bought by distilleries at prac
tically FULL MARKET VALUE of grade corn, deducting
only for difference in moisture. "; ;.'. ; ' - V . : : f , , ; ;
Had there been no distilleries, there would
have been next to no market at all for the scfft
corn of 1915. . The sof corn would certainly
have sold for about 20c a bushel LESS than .
grade corn, provided it could have been used at .
This would have meant a loss to Nebraska
corn growers in the year 1915 of the enormous
sum of $5,600,000! ; - ; -
