SO BONUS GIVEN
TO SOLDIER BOYS
Democratic House Votes Down
Bill to Give Each Guards
man $75.
NO OTHER RECOGNITION
(From Staff Correapondent.)
Lincoln, Marcli 23. (Special.)
The democratic house went on record
this afternoon in entire sympathy
with the song, "I Didn't Raise My
Boy To Be a Soldier," and voted not
only to refuse to release the boys
who went to the border from paying
a poll tax, but refused to recognize
them in any other way.
Hopkins, Shannon and one or two
other democrats made a strong fight
for recognition of the Guardsmen
' and when both the amendment and
u. kill killed HnnWinl said he
i thought it was about time to take
the flag down from over the house.
Peterson wanted the "insult" to the
flag stricken from the ' records, but
Richmond, who was presiding, in
formed the house that he believed
the remarks of his colleague from
Douglas should not be taken in that
light, but rather that they were in
tended as a joke and given in a
spirit of levity.
Cronin Flings Sarcasm.
"A fine, patriotic bunch, you are
gentlemen, I must say," shouted
Cronin.
Shannon called attention to the fact
that hundreds of the members of the
National Guard, who had left their
' civilian clothes in their lockers when
they went to the border, had returned
to find them ruined and moth eaten.
He thought the state ought at least
to make good to the boys in some
WiJreenwalt ridiculed the men of the
house who were willing to send their
. sons to the war, but made no pre
tense of offering to do anything them
selves, t
"We are on the verge of war," he
asserted, "but I don't see anybody
here who is witling to die for the
flag. We lit here in this chamber
clothed in the robes of office and
look wise, but talk foolish. Let us
show that we appreciate what these
boys have done by voting them the
small amount proposed."
Others who talked for the bill weret
Heal, Bates, Hopkins, Miller, Dau,
Thomas, Keegan, Conley and Shaf
fer. Those who expressed themselves
at against it were: Flansburg, Trace
well, and one or two others. ,

They cause the bowels and liver to act

Prince Suit Against
Shanks Is on Trial
Grand Island, Neb., March 23.
(Special.) The suit of W. A. Prince,
attorney, against the Southern Surety
company and Harm Shanks of Silver
Creek, growing out oi tne assauu
upon Prince in September, last, by
Shanks, while the former was on a
business mission in that town, is be
ing heard in the district court here,
Judge Hanna presiding. The plain
tiff has completed its case, the effort
being to show that Shanks, a saloon
man, who had been sentenced to the
fenitentiary for arson, with Mr
rince as the prosecuting attorney,
some years ago, came out of his sa
loon, together with several associates,
including his bartender, with the de
liberate purpose of "getting even."
A criminal action is also pending
against Shanks, but this will be tried
in Central City, the county seat of
Merrick county.
The defense is now putting in its
testimony, its answer evidently being
that there was no drunkenness at the
place, no design and no responsibility
on the part of the surety company
The damages alleged are for $5,000
A photograph of Mr. Prince taken
on the day after the beating given
the attorney was a feature of the evi
dence. Prince's son, Harold, was also
assaulted at the time, having taken
his father's part, but was not seriously
hurt. The elder Prince was finally
picked up on the streets unconscious.
Shanks was arrested by the mar
