BAIL HEADS ARE MIFFED
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 4. (Special.) It is
understood that members of the state
railway commission are not pleased
over the" way officials of the Minne
apolis & Omaha railroad pit one over
on them a few weeks ago when the
latter appeared before the board and
asked permission to reconstruct their
time schedule out of Sioux City to
Omaha in order to make better time
and better connections.
Their attention has been called to
the fact that in reconstructing the
time card provision was made that
certain trains out of Sioux City would
make no stop at South Sioux City.
As a result patrons of the road who
had been in the habit of taking a
. street car for South Sioux City in
order to save the higher fare of in
terstate traffic and purchasing their
tickets there for points in Nebraska,
were left standing on the platform
while the train whizzed by, the
wheels clicking a merry ha ha as the
twin passed them up.
Case Involving ,
Treasurer's Fees
Up at Fairbury
Fairbury, Neb., Dec. 4. (Special.)
Ju(ge L. M. Pemberton opened the
December term of district court for
the Eighteenth judicial district here
, today. This will be a jury session and
a large docket of criminal and equity
cases faces Judge Pemberton for ad
judication. '
; The case of the county commission
' ers against County Treasurer D. B.
Cropsey for the recovery of clerical
fees which he retained will be one of
the most important cases brought up
at this term. The county attorney will
represent the commissioners. Mr.
Cropsey filed a petition in the district
court November 21 asking for a writ
of mandamus to compel the county
board to fix the allowance for clerks
in his office. When Mr. Cropsey took
the office of treasurer he asked for an
allowance of $1,620, but the commis
sioners allowed only $1,200. This case
has caused considerable discussion
and nearly resulted in the defeat of
the county treasurer 'at the recent
election. He pulled through' by a ma
jority of sixty-three votes in a strong
republican county on the second
term.
A criminal case of considerable im
portance is that of the state against
Roy Barnes. This case is the out
growth of a shooting fracas at the
home of E. E. McLane in this city in
May, 1914. Barnes asserted he had
been robbed by companion sat the Mc
Lane home of $3.80. When he fried to
recover his money, a quarrel ensued
and he later procured a revolver and
attempted to compel several of his
companions to reimburse him. He
fired a shot that struck McLane in the
leg.
The case of Mrs. B. Z. Millikan,
suing four Jefferson county boys for
$25,000 damages for injuries sustained
in an automobile collision, has been
continued.
Notes From Beatrice
And Gage County
k Beatrice, Neb. Dec. 4. (Special)
The case- against Jake Workman of
West Beatrice, who- was arrested at
his home Thursday evening, where he
was entertaining some friends at a
beer party, was heard before Judge
Ellis yesterday and the defendant .dis
charged because there was no cause of'
action. ' lae court held that it was not
. illegal for a person to purchase beer
and bring it into a dry town to en
tertain friends at one's home.
William Theye, wife and daughter,
were struck by an auto on the high
way near Odell as they were riding to
their home in a- buggy. All were
thrown out and Mr. Theye seriously
iniured. His left side is paralyzed
and at last reports he was in a seriousJ
condition.
The Elks held their memorial serv
ices at the Gilbert theater Sunday aft
ernoon. The principal address was
given by Hon. E. C. Paige of Omaha.
Successful Farmers'
Institute at Harvard
Harvard, Neb., Dec. 4. (Special.)
A very successful two days' session of
the Harvard Farmers' institute ended
here Saturday evening when John
Lawton of Lincoln, judge of the live
stock exhibit, awarded the prizes for
stock judging, following with a talk
upon the "Care and Management of
Stock." Friday afternoon the women
had a good meeting at the opera
house with an address by Maude Wil
son on "Home Furnishing." The men
had a meeting at the Community club
room at the same t'iml , at which P. L.
Gaddis of Lincoln was the speaker,
his topic, "The Nature and Care of
Our Soil." In the evening there was
a joint meeting at the opera house
kddressed by Miss Wilson and Mr.
Gaddis, with several musical numbers
by local talent interspersed.
Saturday afternoon was stock ex
hibits and stock judging. Mr. Law
tdTKpf Lincoln had charge of this de
partment, and complimented those
who participated in the judging con
test very highly upon fheir near per
fection. v
The poultry exhibit on Saturday
was the best ever shown here and de
veloped, the fact that there are some
breeders in this immediate vicinity
that are eure "on their job." The
display of chickens, turkeys, geese and
ducks was high grade in every re
spect and greatly admired by the
large number of visitors to the show
room.

FOB NEW POSTOFFICES
(From a Stat Correspondent.)
Washington, Dec. 4. (Special Tele
gram.) Congress resumed business
at the old stand today with little out
of the ordinary to warrant extended
description. The congratulations and
condolences between the members
who had been re-elected or had been
relegated to private life, were spoken
in the lobbies or in' private, the en
livening scenes of former rfays, where
men of opposite parses threw them
selves into one another's arms, being
entirely missing from the picture.
It was business from the beginning,
and outside of the warm receptions
accorded Vice President Marshall
and Speaker Champ Clark as they
appeared in their respective places as
the presiding officers over the two
houses, the wheels of "legislaon be
gan to grind early, betokening a de
sire to accomplish everything possible,
within the time limit set by the con
stitution for this session, namely
March 4. '
The roll call , in 'senate and house
disclosed that the entire Nebraska
delegation was present, a number of
the members coming in on early
morning trains, to'be on hand when
the gavel fell, calling the house to
order.
Messrs. LobeckN Sloan vand Shallen
berger came in together from Chica
go, as did Green of Council Bluffs,
la. Representative Kinkaid arrived
this morning, coming by the south
ern route from Nebraska. Represent
ative Reavis has been in Washington
since shortly after election, while
Representative Stephens arrived in
the capital last week. Senator Nor
ris has been in the city for a fort
night, Senator Hitchcock arriving on
Saturday.

Plan of Reconstruction.
ALL MINISTERS RESIGN
London, Dec. 4 Premier Asquith
announced in the House of Commons
this afternoon that King George had
app'oved of a reconstruction of the
government. Mr. Asquith suggested
that after today's business had been
concluded the house idjourn until
Thursday.
Premier Asquith stated that the re
construction of the government in
volved no departure in any shape or
form f the policy pursued since the
beginning of the war.
He did not deny that the resigna
tions of all the ministers were in his
hands. V
There are some details yet to be
arranged,' but newspapers which have
been the most severe critics of the
government's alleged dilatory atti
tude express the conviction that the
premier will be able to announce be
fore many hours an agreement with
his colleagues on the vital question
concerning the war council, the for
mation and size of which '.d to the
crisis. I
Whether the council will Be com
posed of three, four or five mVmbers
is still a matter of discussion, while
its powers also are the subject of
negotiations. Mr. Lloyd George and
his adherents desire the smallest pos
sible council, with power to conduct
the war independently of the cabinet

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before) breakfast to wash
out poisons.
Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter. i
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous day's indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water v alid phosphate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of petple who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from tlje drug store,
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation. Advertisement.
Bring Out Your
Hidden Beauty
Beneath that soiled, discolored, faded or
aired complexion is one fair to look upon.
Mercollzed wax will "gradually, gently ab
sorb the devitalized surface skin, revealing
the youthfully fresh, white and beautiful
akin underneath. Used by refined women
who prefer complexions of true, naturalness.
Mercolized wax in one-ounce package, with
directions for use, la sold by all idrugglets.

RULING BY SUPREME COUBT
Washington, Dec. 4. Interstate
Commerce commission orders permit

a defeat for the inland cities who
sought classification as "Pacific ter
