r THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1918. GOVERNOR HAS MADE NO REPORT TO THE PUBLIC No Meeting of Americanization Committee Till Afta Elec tion; Judge Sullivan Declines to Serve. Not until after election, according to the present program, will the Americanization committee, ap pointed by the governor to map out a plan for the Americanization of the foreign element of Nebraska, hold another meeting and try to get together on some feasible plan. i. i.i ivjjui icu incic nas uccn con siderable friction over a lengthy re port that was submitted by the sub committee, appointed after the Lin coln meeting, and which was pre sented to the main committee at the Omaha merlins? at th Pavtnn hn. tel. some weeks ago. The report of the subcommittee, it is said, was too lengthy and not virile enough in its plans or recom- jMcmiduuiis io suit some or tne members, who stood for an out-and-out Americanization plan. The matter was put up to the governor, as Judge W. V. Allen said, "for him to give publicity to it." As yet the governor has failed to make the report public. About that time, C. H. Gustafson, president of the Farmer's Union, who was a member of the commit tee, resigned. "I resigned," said he, "because the demands of business made it impossible for me to devote my time to the proceedings of the organization. If there is any poli tics in it, I am glad I am out." Mr. Gustafson's resignation was accepted by Governor Neville, who appointed Judge J. J. Sullivan to fill the vacancy. Judge Sullivan has declined to serve. He says: "My wife is in the hospital of the Mayo's at Rochester, Minn., and conditions are such that I feel that I must devote myself more or less to her and my affairs, complicated by her sickness, does not allow me time to devote to the work which the governor proposed to honor me with. I have not heard of. any one being named to fill the place." Bancroft Man Bound Over ; to District Court Tuesday Carl Behnke of Bancroft, Neb., was bound over to district court by County Judge Crawford after a pre liminary hearing on a charge that Behnke is the father of a 2-year-ol ' girl of Kate Hanson, complain ant. Mrs. Hanson was housekeeper at the Behnke farm and in court she related that she had been divorced from two husbands. Omaha General Market. oysters HPr LrBe small ial. Cans. Cam.

STOCKJARKET Buying Movement Expands in High Grade Investment Se curities; Sales Amount to Over 2,000,000. New York, Oct. 22. The stock market seemed to draw away from the war and Its more Immediate Influences today, a very large proportion of the trading con centralng In high grade Investment shares. There was a pronounced expansion of the recent buying movement In rails, coalers, under guidance of Reading gaining 1 to almost 4 points, while Pacifies and many low-priced transportations gained I to t points. Shipping also reflected a revival of Inquiry from substantial quarters, mostly at the year's maximums. Atlantic Gulf made an extreme advance of 6 points and Marine preferred and the 6 per cent bonds gained appreciably, foreshadowing early announcement of the company's capital re adjustment plan. Oils ceased to bo a bullish factor, the gyrations of that group making traders cautious. Mexican Petroleum was heavy throughout, showing a decline of 17 points at the end, while Royal Dutch foreftted 12 points and Texas Company 3. United States Steel did not furnish Its usual quota, being pressed In point of activity by Southern Pacific and Marines. Traversing a narrow radius, Steel closed unchanged at 110. Other industrials and equipments, in cluding war shares, were firm to strong, Bothlehem, Crucible, Lackawanna and Midvale Steels, as well as Baldwin and American Locomotives, American Car and Industrial Alcohol gaining 1 to 4 points at' their best. Tobaccos were among the few specialties to exhibit marked strength, with some of the low-priced motors, General Motors, however, weakening at the close. Sales amounted to 2,100,000 shares. Bonis were strong on the further rise In speculative railway Issues, the foreign division recording no material change. Liberty issues, notably the 34s continued to ease. Total sules (par value) aggre gated $10,250,000. Old United States bonds unaltered on oall. St. Louis Live Stock.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Corn Market Swings Upward When True Nature of German Note Develops. Chicago, Oct. 22. Corn took a decided upward swing in price today owing to general belief that the Berlin answer to President Wilson was Insufficient. The market colsed strong, 8c to 3c net higher, with November $1.23 to $1.23 and December $1.20 to $1.20. Oats fin ished lc to 2o up, and provisions at gains of 15 cents to $1.45. Sharp advances with which the corn market opened wpre well maintained throughout the session. After the first rush of buying had been sattsfied mod erate reaction from initial top figures ensued, but bullish sentiment gathered ad ditional force, and was virtually unchecked as the day came to an end. Attention of traders seemed to be wholly absorbed by the fact that the unofficial text of the German statement differed widely from the bearish version that yesterday had caused values to break. Purchasing, however, was confined mostly to shorts. Offerings were rather light, especially in the final hour. Oats merely reflected the fluctuations of corn. Receipts were not large, but there was an absence of seaboard business. Strength In provisions grew chiefly out of buying that was ascribed to packers. Dealings were for the most part in Jan uary deliveries, on which restrictions as to price changes during any single day have been removed. In the late trading, opinion as to the Insufficiency of the German answer ap parently rew more emphatic and the market closed strong, 3 to 8c net higher, with November $1.23 to 1.23 and December $1.20 to 1.20. Irregularity of hog quotations led after ward to something of a setback. v Corn, No. 2 yellow, $1.451.53; 3 yel low, $1.3001.45: No. 4 yellow. $1.281.S6. Oats, No. 3 white, 6768c; standard, 6869c.

Story; The historv of the famous ibattl of the Kilkenny cats has been re ' ! peated in that of the "Lion's Heads,"- , and the "Lion's Tails." ; It will be recollected that when . ... the battle of the Kilkenny cats wai ! concluded there was neither head or . j tail left to the combatant felines who engaged in the historic conflict, the story of which has gone ringing down the ages. Just so is the conclusion of the history of the suborganization oi tho Lion Bonding and Casualty com- '. pany. The "Lion's Heads" formed of executives ol the company, and which, through the process of evo- ! lution, by being separated from the i payroll, became the "Lion's Tails," no longer exists as heads or tails. I In fact there "ain't any such animal.' ' i All last week there was consider- - j able friction between the members of the "Lion's Heads" as personified bj the present executives of the ; company, and the "Lion's Tails," j characterized by Vice President Luikhart as disgruntled employes. Most of the friction existed over i claims for wages, or salaries, al leged by tl former employes to be due them. AH these claims have , been settled, it is reported, and some of the former employes, it is sail, settled so satisfactorily that they -are back on their old jobs. So endeth this chapter.

As has been " previously stated it is possible to -perfect the powers of resistance of it. 1 A 4.1 i. 14. ... ine Human system su uiai, ii can ; throw off almost any infection, not 1 excepting Spanish Influenza, which .. is one of the most contagious dis eases known. Medical authorities agree that ' , people who are weak and run-down are the earliest victims of the In- fluenza epidemic. If you find your, self weak or losing flesh, or if you are in a generally run-down condi- tion, you are really in great danger if you should come in contact with the Influenza germ. As a powerful reconstructive tonic and system builder, Tanlac is : without equal. This is a statement of facts and is fully supported by,1, recognized authorities. According to all accepted reference works, in-. eluding the United States Dispensa- ' tory, Encyclopedia Britannica and -leading text books used in the ' scnooi oi medicine, tne principal in- ; gredients of Tanlac possess the most valuable tonic properties known to science. This statement is further proven by the fact that" millions of persons who have actual- "' ly taken Tanlac have testified to its ' extraordinary merit as a medicine. Tanlac restores health and . strength to the weak and run-down " system by enabling every organ of the body to perform its proper function in nature's own way. It creates a healthy appetite for good . nourishing food, and is an ideal strengthening tonic for persons who are in a run-down condition and wno are suffering from the after effects of Influenza, Grippe or Bronchial troubles.
