they probably would be acceptable to

The Three Consideration!.
! He declined to outline these, sim
ply saying:
"I believe that by Monday we shall
reach an agreement which will avert
a strike."
From other sources regarded as
authoritative it was learned, however,
that three important considerations
entered into the negotiations. These
were:
Pressure of public opinion against
the strike. ' ....
The possibility of a decision Mon
day by the supreme court on the con
stitutionalit of the Adamson law.
The proposal that the railroads ac
cept the brotherhoods' interpretation
of the law in the event of its being
upheld.
Mr. Lee admitted that the possi
bility of a decision by the supreme
court on Monday had been discussed,
as well as the interpretation to be
placed upon the law by both sides to
the controversy in the event of its
being declared constitutional. . ,
Tentative Agreement Reached.
It was learned that the question
uppermost for consideration tomor
row was to determine the attitude of
the brotherhoods and the railroads
in the event of the Adamson law not
being upheld by the supreme court.
In quarters close to both factions it
was said that a tentative agreement
already had been reached and that
the conference tomorrow would be
held to settle the details.
, Stone's Statement.
Later, however, Warren S. Stone,
head of the engineers, said:
"The situation is unchanged. As
reasonable men we did not wish to
fly in the face of the president's ad
visors and when they requested post
ponement of the strike for forty-eight
hours, we made the concession to en
able them to work out their plans.
Unless something intervenes, the situ
ation will be the same Monday night
as it would have been at 7 o'clock
last night. . .
''After the statement, severat houra
later, by Mr. Lee, an effort was made
to see Secretary Lane,' but it was
said he had retired for the night and
4,'H nnt winh to be disturbed. When
the conference ended today he an
nounced that he had no statement to
make and would have none before to
morrow. Wilson Voices Pleasure,

Lane Hopeful.
The nresident sent his new appeal
after he had received word from Sec
retary Lane that the negotiations
would be continued tomorrow, Mr.
Lane did not no into details, but held
out hopes of a satisfactory settlement
Whether the supreme court, on
whose course future moves In the
controversy may hinge, will deliver
an opinion Monday on the Adamson
law, remain a subject purely specula
tive. Before the present situation
arose, there was indications that a
decision mieht be imminent, but the
court's intentions never are authori-
tativelv forecast Its deliberations in
chambers, when a decision will be an
nounced and what the decision will be
are matters, which, by tradition as
old as the court itself, never are re
vealed. '
Speculation among officials tonight
revealed an opinion about evenly di'
vided on the possibilities of a decis.
, ion from the supreme court on Mon'
day on the Adamson law.
Won't Be Hurried, .
From the fact that attorneys for
both sides asked for an early decis
ion and that two decision days when
an opinion was expected already have
passed, some legal authorities believe
it will not again be deferred. On the
other hand stands the well known
deep conviction of some of the
justices that the nation's greatest, tr'.
bunal never should be put in the at'
titude of appearing to act under any
tort of duress.
Some close observers of supreme
court procedure believe that this lat
ter consideration alone might operate
to withhold a decision Monday, even
if one had been prepared for an.
. nouncement
Today the justices held their usual
conference to prepare opinions,

State Normal Schools in Plight
With No Money Until July First
(From a Staff .Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 18. (Special.)
"Oh, save me child; me poor child."
This expresses the condition of mind
of Colonel Tom Majors, who Has
been tenderly nursing along the bill
to give succor to the state normal
schools, which the colonel has nursed
tenderly for many years. He now
finds that owing to a hitch in the pro
ceedings the bill has been passed and
signed by the governor with no
emergency clause, thus leaving the
"child" with no milk for iti bottle
for three months and on top of that
it has been without milk for the last
two or three weeks.
Some say that the bill needs no
emergency clause for it calls for an
appropriation for 1917 and 1918.
However, others contend that the ap
propriation was made for the bien-

before the biennium ended another
deficiency would exist, which a com

LOST AND FOUND IS
TEXT 0FA SERMON
Rev. J, T. Poucher Preaches
on Three Parables Pound
in Luke's Gospel.
JOY OVEE RETURN OF LOST
Rev. J. F. Poucher, pastor of Trin
ity Methodist church, preached yes
terday morning on three verses found
in the fifteenth chapter of Luke.
"Each of these three verses contains
the words 'lost' and 'found,'," he said.
"In the sixth verse we learn of the
man whose sheep had been lost and
he had found it. In the, ninth verse
the woman rejoices because she had
found the coin that she had lost. And
in the twenty-fourth verse the father
rejoices because of the return of the
prodigal son, saying: 'This my son
was lost and is found.'
"We owe these three parables to
the criticism and scoffing of Jesus'
enemies. They said of Him, 'This
man receiveth sinners and eateth with
them.' .
"That was true. But he mingled
with sinners as a physician mingles
with the sick of as a Red Cross nurse
mingles with the wounded on the bat
tle field to heal and help them.
Despair and Joy.
"The word 'lost' has in it all the
grief and despair possible; and the
word 'found' is filled with rejoicing
and happiness. Both may come into
a person's life in the same day.
"The parable of the lost sheep illus
trates hopelessness, that of the lost
coin helplessness and that of the lost
son disobedience.
"The lost sheep was outside of the
fold. The Christian who gets outside
of the fold is in danger. The shepherd
is always more anxious about the
sheep that is outside the fold than
for the ninety-nine that are inside be
cause the one is in danger and the
ninety-nine are in safety.
"In the parable of the lost coin it
is significant that the coin was lost
in the house, not out in the wilder
ness. And it is a significant fact also
that men in the church, even minis
ters themselves may be lost while
they are nominally in the house of
God and members of his body.
Seeks the Sinners.
The narable of the prodigal son
centers the attention upon the sinner.
The other two parables center atten
tion upon the God who is seeking
after the sinner. In the tase of the
sheep and the coin the owner went
in search of them when they were
lost and brought them back. In the
case of the prodigal son, he 'came to
himself and 'went to his father.' This
shows the sinner awakening perhaps
in response to the infinite love of the
father and His longing.
And here again we see the joy
that there is in Heaven over the re
turn of sinners, how the father of the
prodigal received him and ordered
the best robe to be put on him and a
ring on his finger and had the fatted

Turn. Hair Dark
With Sage Tea
Grandma Kept Her Locte Dark,
Glossy and Youtjiful with a Simple
Mixture o Sage Tea and Sulphur.
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is a grand
mother's recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good, even
color, which is quite sensible, as we
are living in an age when a youthful
appearance is of the greatest advan
tage. ,
Nowadays, though, we dont have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the read)Mo-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about SO cents a bottle. It is very pop
ular because nobody can discover it
has been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair dissapears, but what de
lights the ladies with Wyeth'a Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro
duces that soft luster and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. It
is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.
GUARD OFFICERS
ARE ASKED TO STICK
s
Iowa Adjutant General Re
quests Commanders With
hold Resignations.
LOGAN CASES APPEALED
Des Moines, la., March' 18. (Spe
cial.) Company officers in the Iowa
National Guard wishing to resign
from the service have been asked to
withhold their requests. Regimental
commanders and Adjutant General
Logan desire to preserve the well ;
trained Iowa organization intact.
Probability of war with Germany is
the main reason why guard officers
are urged to remain in the service.
Action by congress in adopting uni
versal military training or the placing
of the National Guard under complete
ieaerai control is expected at the
extra session. That is. another reason
why resignations are discouraged.
Liquor Cases to U. S. Court.
Injunction petitions filed by Super
intendent Barber of the Anti-Saloon
league, to immediately restrain rail
roads from shipping liquor into the
state have been postponed. The rail
roads have filed a petition to remove
tne cases to the Jederal court, which
would defer any ruling until Judge
Martin J. Wade comes here for the
May term of court. Transfer of the
injunction cases to the United States
court is made automatically when pe
titions are hied in district court and
bond provided.

banks last week were almost $5,000,000

for the
chance
to heal
Catarrh
After an experfenc of 25
years, during winch time 50
million Americans have used
Kondon's Catarrhal Jelly, the
manufacturers of this remedy
feel so sure that it will relieve
catarrh that they offer to pay
for a chavce to prove its benefit
to any catarrhal sufferer. They
announce that any residenlVf
this community can go to almost
any drug store and get a com
plimentary trial can at the
expense of the manufacturers.
If the druggist has no gratuitous
packages, the person may buy a
25 cent tube with the unqualified
understanding that if that first
tube does not do that person
more than a dollar's worth of
good, he or she can get their
quarter back from either the
druggist, or the Kondon Com
pany at Minneapolis. Over
35,000 druggists know Kondon's
Catarrhal Jelly is effective,
harmless, clean and pleasant to
apply and they know the
Kondon people will gladly live
up to this offer "quarter back
if not worth a dollar." Address
