VOLUNTEER TO
WORIUM MINES
State University and Omaha
Students Will Go to
Coal Producing
States.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2. (Special.)
Governor McKelvie this morning
issued a proclamation to governors
of coal-producing states that 500
students of the University of Ne
braska have volunteered their serv-
ices in the mines, in an effort to re-
' lieve the national coal famine,-.
His action was the result of a
meeting . with . a committee ofthe.
students, who met last night under.
, the leadership of Leonard Koine, a
..law student at the university, and
adopted a resolution to volunteer
for work in the mines.
Conditions at the university with
regard to the fuel shortage is still
' severe, but the board of regents has
decided to keep the university run
ning until the holidays, on the pres
ent supply of coal if possible. .
Governor McKelvie will go. to
Denver Wednesday, where he will
hold a conference with Governor
Shoup, of that state, and Governor
Carey of Wyoming for the purpose
of doing something to help out the
coal situation in all three states.
Governor McKelvie was in confer
ence with Governor Carey over the
'phone and told him that Nebraska
would furnish men to run the coal
mines if Wyommg would furnish
protection, and that as soon as the
situation was relieved in these states
coal would be sent to Nebraska.
It is for the purpose of getting
action on coal that is held back for
want of transportation that the con
ference will be held. Governor Carey
stated that there was a surplus of
cot in Wyoming, but that thefa
cili':es for handling it are wanting.
Jack Beacom of the University of
Omaha will open a bureau today in
the Chamber of Commerce, where
The Reflections of a Married Woman
Are not pleasant f she is delicate, run-down,
or over-worked. She feels "played out." Her
-smile and good spirits have taken flight. It
worries her husband as well
as herself.
This is the time to build
her strength and cure
those weaknesses or ail
ments which are the
seat of her trouble.
Doctor Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription reg
ulates and promotes all
the proper functions of
womanhood, enriches
the blood, dispels aches
and pains, melancholy
and nervousness, brings
refreshing sleep, and re
stores health and
strength. It relieves and
cures those disorders and derangements of womanhood.
It makes weak women strong and sick women well.
Favorite Prwcription should have the full confidence .of every woman in
America because it contains no alcohol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medicine, that whiskey and morphine were
injorioos, and so be has always kept them out of his remedies. Send 10c to
Dr. Pieroe's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., for trial package of tablets.
The system is something like a clock it needs oil occasionally. Everyone
should take caster oil, or something better, like Doctor Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, made of May-apple, jalap, aloe-sugar-ooated. They regulate, cleanse
and oil the bnman " clock work." Send Dr. Pierce 10 cents for trial package.

he will be from 9:30 to 3:30 to re
ceive registrations of students who
will volunteer, for mine work and
wood chopping. .
Transportation of volunteers will
be paid and they will be assigned
to work where the products of their
efforts will help to relieve the Oma
ha situation. "
Mr. Beacom stated that he al
ready has the names of 75 students
who will engage in this work, anda
he added that nearly au are ex-service
men. .'"We, expect to have an
enrollment of 1,000 here within a
few days," Mr. Beacom, predicted.

ports on Survey.
Lincoln. Dec. 2. (Special.) The
constitutional convention was called
to order at 12:10 by Secretary of
State D. M. Amsbury and prayer
was offered by Rev. Elmore of the
First Baptist church or Lincom.
Mr. Gaston, chief clerk in the of
fice of the secretary of state, called
the roll and all members answered
except M. T. Higgins of Colfax and
T. C. Osborne of Scotts Bluff. -
On motion of W. M. Mebbins ot
Buffalo county N. P. McDonald of
Buffalo county was elected tempor
ary chairman. - v
" " . Must Represent People.
: In taking his seat' Mr. McDonald
said in part, "We are gathered here
to reoresent the oeoDle of Nebraska
and rewrite the great charter of the
commonwealth. It demands our best
efforts and will affect every man,
woman and child in the Mate.
"We should always remember that
we represent not only the majority
which elected us, but the minority
which opposed us in the election.
We must represent the people and
uo faction, and we should so work
that the most humble as we'll, as the
strong are safeguarded.
"The instrument we should draft
should reflect the honesty and in
tegrity of every delegate in this con
vention. Let us pray Almighty God
that it will reflect the will of the
people of the state."
His address was loudly applauded
at its close.
Bigelow Plan Fails. .
On motion of Peterson of Lan
caster, J. A. Rodman, delegate from
Kimball county, was made temporary
secretary, and on motion of Norton
of Polk, F. C. Radke of Cedar was
made assistant.
Sears of Douglas vnioved the ap
pointment of a committee on cre
dentials and the chair appointed the
following: Charles W. Sears of
Douglas, J. N. Norton of Polk, C.
P. Peterson of Lancaster, W. M.
Stebbins of Dawson and I. D. Evans
of Adams.
Bigelow of Douglas attempted to
get through a motion which if it car
ried would practically put the whole
machinery of the convention in the
hands of a committee of six," which
he called a rules committee," which
however, included the naming of the
employes.
Peterson of Lancaster called at
tention to the fact that the creden
tials committee had not reported
and therefore it was not known who
the delegates were and the chair sus
tained the point of order.
The convention then took a recess
awaiting the report of the commit;
tee.
. Contest for Seat
The credentials committee report
ed the list of delegates as prepared
by the secretary of state as entitled
to seats and same was adopted.
The report also disclosed that a
contest had been filed by Charles
Wooster of Silver Creek against E.
E. Ross in the Merrick county dis
trict. Wooster was one of the regu
lar nominees, but enough of the
voters wrote in the name of Ross
to give him a mjority of two votes
over Wooster.
After the report of the credentials
committee a committee consisting of
Olson of Cuming, Wiltse of Rich
ardson and Stewart of Lancaster
was appointed to escort Chief Jus
tice Morrissey to the hall, where the
oath of office was administered to
the delegates.
The election of officers for the
convention resulted in the selection
of the following: president, At J.
Weaver of Falls City; vice presi
dent, George Jackson of Nelson;
secretary, Clyde Barnard of Table
Rock: seriteant-at-arms, - Crawford
Kennedy of Lincoln; chaplain, Rev.
A. A., Cressman of . Crete.
; Use Informal Ballot '
The elections were by ballot, first
starting by informal vote. For pres
ident the first ballot gave Weaver
49 and Jackson. 22, with the rest
scattered among eight other dele
gates. The second, ballot gave
Weaver, 63; Jackson, 39. For vice
president Jackson received 65, Ol
son 12, with the bther votes scat
tered among eight delegates. -
For secretary," Mr. Barnard re
ceived 60, Hitchcock 16,JWalrath 8
and Halderson of Madison, 8, with
the rest scattered among . four
others. v ,
For sergeant-at-arms, Crawford
Kennedy received just the number
required, 51, while O. G. Smith of
Kearney, received 30 and Moore 13.
The rest were scattered among four
others. Rev. Cressman was elected
by acclamation. , ,
After considerable maneuvering,
the convention agreed to select a
committee on rules by congression
al districts, each district to hold
a session this evening and select
two men for the committee with the
chairman of the convention as chair
man of the committee. ;
The chairman announced that the
survey committee, created by the
last legislature and who were ap
pointed by the supreme court, were
ready to report to the convention
and he introduced Victor Rosewater,
chairman of the committee, who was
received with applause as he came
to the desk and also, when he fin
ished presenting the report.
Present Survey Report.
Mr. Rosewater said that the com
mittee had been somewhat handi
capped by ! the lack of funds, the
legislature' voting only $2,500 for the
use of the committee, which had to
include stenographer and all other
work in securing information suit
able to the needs of the convention.
He said they were presenting to
the convention the very best infor
mation available, much of it coming
from the committee which had pre
pared the work for the Illinois con
stitutional convention, with unlimit
ed means to secure data and as the
constitutions of the two states were
considerably alike the Nebraska
