CLUBS COMING TO FRONT
J Columbus, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special
- Telegram.) Numerous i indications
'point to weaknesses of the demo
cratic ring in Platte county this elec-
(tiotf. They have their backs to the
wall. In their fanrtic endeavor to
t recover the lost democratic vote
t among the Germans, the bosses are
staging their, second speaker within a
; week. Mr. Gerber, who will use the
German language.
Mr. Anslem was edvertised similar
ly last week, but disregarded this ex
pected phase with a few cursory and
jentierly unsatsifactory remarks.
The Germanocieties in their regu
lar meetings and informally, are al
most to a man oooosed to Wilson
and endorsing Hughes. When also
among a large element of the demo
cratic party here the visit of W. J.
Bryan is like throwing a red rag in
their faces. He passed through here
last night, but was given no recep
tion and the report of his Fullerton
speech was condemned in no mild
terms, focusing dissention.
On the other hand the dry element
of the democratic party here com
plains because the ring is devoting
too much of their time and the con
tributions to the wet cause and al
lowing the candidates for the most
part to shift for themselves. The re
publicans and progressives, united
with encouragement from hundreds of
democrats, are working hard.
The Hughes-Fairbanks club headed
y Mark Rathburn, a Roosevelt man,
efusal of the citv council to Dermit
hem to string a large sign across
the street at headquarters has helped
them. Altoheether while recogniz
ing the cunning and resources of the
democratic bosses in this, their
strongest county in the state, re

I Keavis Answers
Claims of Service
Made by Hitchcock
Pawnee City, NeB., Oct. 30. (Spe
cial.) The largest and by far the
most enthusiastic audience greeted
non. c p. Keavis, tirst district con
gressman, at the opera house Satur
day night, that has gathered at any
place in Pawnee county during this
campaign.
Mr. Reavis dwelt at length upon the
claims of Mr. Hitchcock that he. with
the aid of the democratic congress,
have succeeded in enacting into law
more real beneficial legislation for
the people than all the beneficial leg
islation passed in the previous'twenty
years.
The speaker explained the fact that
Senator Norris of Nebraska intro
duced the bill into the senate provid
ing for the income tax law, and that
the otes of the republican congress
men successfully carried the measure
through: and that it was thej-epubh
can senatorial and congressional votes
that placed the child labor law upon
the statute books o the federal gov
ernment.
The speaker in eloquent and touch
ing words pictured the conditions of
the warring powers as the basis upon
wnicn our present material prosper
ity is- based, and asked his . friends,
"Are you exceedingly proud of this
kind of prosperity?
Mr. Keavis spoke of the fitness of
L. Kennedy to represent the state
n the senate and ot Hon. McMullen
to protect our interests in the state
lenate. v
' The eloquent congressman from the
First Nebraska district clearly and
unquivically stated the issues and his
position upon same in state and na
tion and very much ot the satisfac
Hon of his hearers.
Odd Arguments
Used by Wilson
In Ml Fight
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special.)
Statements made by Victor E. Wil
son, democratic candidate for the
State Railway commission in his re
cent address at Harvard and in ad
dresses made frequently at other
points, show thaWhe democratic can
didate is either wilfully misrepresent
ing facts in order to get votes or else
is immensely ignorant of the condi
tions over which he would seek to
have control if elected to the position
ti railway commissioner.
Mr. Wilson criticizes the railway
commission aneEnnp that tt immH a
physical valuation of railway right-of-
way p-tne roaas ot the state of $265
per acre, whereas the government cen
sus reports shows a physical valu
ation of $40. thus leaving the inference
that the commission's Valuation was
excessive.
The- valuation given by the com
mission included land of all kinds,
both , within city and town limits, as
well as outside, while the government
valuation was simply on land out
side the cities and towns. That part
of the physical valuation made by
the state commission covers land in
M:me instances along the right-of-way
which is worth as high as $2,500 per
acre.
Mr. Wilson used values obtained by
.in application of the multiple theory
a", used in Minnesota case, which has
r.of been adopted by the Nebraska
commission. Outside of the towns
and cities, the records of the railway
commission show that the value of
right-of-wati outside of the towns
and cities runs all the way from $6
per acre in Sioux county to an aver
Jge of $158 per acre in Douglas county,
and that the average would be just
about what the government census
reports, a record which Mr. Wilson
could have easily secured if he had
tried to gain the facts instead of con
tinuing his campaign of misrepresen
tation against Mr. Clarke in an effort
to land a job as railway commissioner.

Jump from Bed

Drink'Hot )Vater
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast
Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull
and unstrung; some days really in
capacitated by illness.
It we ail would practice lnside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of livinig. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys
tem nearly an ounce ot waste ma
terial must be carried out. else it fer
ments and forms ptomaine-like poi
sons which are absorbed into the
blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day.
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we 'must each morning clear
the Inside organs of the previous
day's accumulation of indigestible
waste and body toxins. Men and wo
men, whether sick or well, are advised
to drink each morning, before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, as a harmless means, of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Millions ot people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attarks
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system.

Lawyers club of the middle west to
line up the lawyers for the demo
cratic ticket is not meeting with fa

"W. S. Oppenheimer, secretary
Wilson Lawyer's club, Chicago, III:
"Dear Sir: I am today in receipt
of your circular letter addressed to
the lawyers of the central and middle

"Replying therto I beg to inform
you that the very great preponder

of this part of Nebraska, as well as
elsewhere, is for Mr. Hunhes. ir

beliefs or affiliations; and rightly so,
for Mr. Hughes was drafted by the
people of this country, who realized
that a change in the conduct of af

honor and dignity.
None lias greater regard and re

fact that one who has been elevated

rather is a tribute that ought to be

Startling Decrease Shown
in Crime in Colorado
Since Prohibition
OLD TIMERS
37 Prisoner Will Go Out to
Every Man Received and
Terms Are Shorter.
Canon City, Colo., Oct. 25. So'
marked has been the effect of pro
hibition upon crime in Colorado that
by the first of the year, or soon after
that, one whole large wing of the
state penitentiary will be closed for
lack of prisoners. Within one month
the prison will have barely three
fourths of its" former number of oc
cupants, and, from December 1 on
ward, when the terms of many of the
"old-timers" begin to expire, the in
stitution will empty at an unheard
of rate.
If the number of prisoners sen
tenced to the penitentiary during
the last six months since prohibition
got its full stride continues at the
same rate during the next six months,
the prison here will discharge about
thirty-seven men to every new pris
oner taken in.
This morning the penitentiary had
only 707 prisoners, counting both
men and women. A year ago, before
prohibition went into effect, its
average number of inmates was well
above 800 running nearer 900. Dur
ing the rest of this month, nine more
prisoners will leave the institution,
either on parole or through having
served out their full sentences. Next
month twenty others will depart.
That exodus, if no new arrivals were
booked, would reduce the prison ros
ter to 678.
Moreover, the greater number of
prisoners received since prohibition
went into effect are sent there for
much shorter terms than formerly;
the class of men is different, most of
the ."habitual criminals" having left
the state with the shutting down of
the saloons. The new "short-termers"
are paroled much sooner than the
former "long-termers," so the recent
prisoners will not stay at the pen.

cial.) Harvey Cox, a stranger, aged
28, is in a serious condition at the St.
Francis hospital in this city as the re
sult of an attack of appendicitis. Cox
came to the city Tuesday morning.
He stated that he applied for assist
ance of the authorities, alleging sick
ness, but was given no aid. He ap
pealed to a boarding house keeper
and was given a cot. Becoming very
ill, the landlady notified the city phy
sician, who called and found it a case
of well advanced appendicitis. His re
quest to the chairman of the county
board's committee to take the man
to a hospital was denied, and when
the city physician took the matter
up with Mayor Ryan, the latter in
turn held it to be a county case, The
deadlock was on from Tuesday fore
nnon to Wednesday evening, when
the mayor yielded on the presenta
tion that the man must die if an op
eration were not provided. The op
eration was preformed and the man
has a chance for recovery, though
the pus had already broken. The-4
city physician, flanked by the med
ical association, desires a decision as
a result of this case, as to responsi
bility, though alleging that the attor
ney general has already rendered an
opnion that in such cases in incor
porated cities, the latter must bear
the expense.

They seem to see the inevitable de
feat which awaits their party on No

It has been known for some time
that they feared the visit of W. J.

the congressional, state and legisla

anxious for Bryan to come, many of
them questioned the wisdom of' his
coming, knowing that if he took a
decided stand against the wet propo
sition it would hurt the slate ticket
and correspondingly have a like ef
fect on the national ticket.
Others claim that the frantic ap
peal of the chairman of the demo

and that $500,000 more would In- nec

If you have a tendency to costive

Nujol promotes regular habits'

laxatives and cathartics tend to
destroy this normal action by
over stimulating the intestinal
