DRYAN ADVISES
COMMITTEE ON
CONSTITUTION!
Representative Hall Packed
To Hear Commoner Dis
cuss Needs of State
fli Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb.. Tan. 12. In an ad
'dress to the state constitutional con
tention early this evening, Mf. Bry
an said he wished it might have been
possible for him to havt had an in
timate part in framing the new Ne
braska constitution, and he regretted
lie could not have entered the race
for membership in the body. It was
largely lawyers' work, he said, and
Jus profession was that of law, "but,"
he added semi-humorously, "I am
not practicing it just now."
Trust the people was Mr. Bryan's
particular admonition to the mem
bers. He urged co-operation anil
liberality of laws where the people
were affected. "I have had to live
the last 25 years," said Mr. Bryan,
"defending myself against hard
names because I have believed the
government can do better things
than private concerns." He said he
had been repeatedly called a socialist
because he had defended what he
believed to be private rights as
against corporation encroachment.
He spoke for economy in expendi
tures, careful study of tax enact
ments and in opposition to prison
plant and factories competing with
free labor.
' . Preaches Funeral Sermon.
The constitutional convention
sounded the requiem on Delegate
Anderson's proposal No. 75 this
morning by sending it to the
grave after Mr. Anderson had
preached what he called its funeral
6ermon. He said that he knew it'
was' dead but that something ought
to 'i be, said before it was con-,
signed to its last resting place. The
. proposal would require persons
Biarnine a referendum oetition ' to
; make their signature before a no
tary public x " -Delegate
Junkin of Gosper coun-
, ty would let down the bars partially
and allow the state to ssue bonds
in the amount of $1 for each inhab
itant of the' state. The present con
stitution makes the limit to which
the state can issue bonds $100,000,

is real enjoyment when there isn't
a "dyspeptic jinx among them. Of
course, a case of dyspepsia or daily
indigestion must be looked after.
But it is far more to the point to
prevent as well as to treat sour
stomach, belching, water trash, etc.,
by such a Valuable means as Stu
1 art's Dyspepsia Tablets. Coddling
the stomach with soft food and pre
dicated stuff merely invites sluggishness.
Eat your little pork sausages for
plate of beans and a piece of pie
.with cheese for lunch, and end the
clay -with a real dinner, instead of .a
bowl of bread and milk. Follow
each nea! with a Stuart's Dyspepsia
, Tablet and get right back to your
natural self. - .
The" tablets digest food and as
sist the stomach to prepare the con
tent for assimilation in the irrtcsti-
nal tract. Thus you get thepracti
eal relief and help which induces
Vr a better appetite and a greater free-
r' JSF dom. in the selection of foods. You
J f will find Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
j on sale at any drug store in the
United Mates ana uanaaa, as tney
are considered one of the stand-bys
by th druggist.
The Easiest Way ,
To 'End Dandruff
V
. There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
-.get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liqaid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use, enough to
' moisten the scalp and rub it in gent
ly with the finger tips.
By morning, mostCif not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy, every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
Jm fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better.
You can get-liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
t four ounces is all you will need.
. This simple remedy has never been
Known to fail.

FAIL TO SECURE
JURY IN DAVIS
ASSAULT CASE
Entire Day Spent in Exam
ining Panel, Many, of
Whom Are Disquali-
fied by Judge.
Little progress was made yester
ady in geting a jury to try George
Davis, chareed with assult to mur
der and assault to do great bodily-
injury to Mayor Smith the night ot
the court house riot.
Man after man was excused be
cause of expressed prejudice or an
already formed opinion about Davis'
guilt or innocence.
After the entire day spent in ex
amining prespective jurors yester
dav. the first twelve men had not
been secured, four men had been ex
cused nof only from this jury, but
from service on any jury on tne
present panel, because tney ex
pressed ideas of their duties as jury
men which were not in accordance
witty what the law demands.
' r
May summon more men.
It is very likely that additional
jurymen will be cummoned for ser
vice on the present panel to take
the place of the large number ex
cused "and discharged.
Three of the first five prospective
jurymen examined by County At
torney shotwell in tne JJavis case
we're excused.
When Attorney Eugene O'Sulli
van's turn to examine jurors came,
he examined three before he secured
the first juryman. ' Mose Hehtz
berg, 4910 Dodge street, and Edwin
Wilkinson, 1216 South Tenth street,
sajd they had gormed' opinions re
garding Davis' guilt. They were
excused from the jury box and dis
charged from duty by Judge Redick.
Elwood Cooper, 413 North .twenty-fifth
street, a middle-aged man.
employed by the American Rail
way Express company, was excused
rrom the jury and discharged en
tirely from jury service by Judge
Redick, following his answers to
questions as to his qualifications to
serve as a juror.
He declared that the possibility
of imposing a penalty of two to 15
years on Davis if he is found guilty,
would probably prevent him from
finding) him guilty even if he were
proved so.
Judge Redick immediately wrote
an order, discharging Mr. Cooper
from any jury service. .
ihe law provides the penalty and
it is not for any juror to consider
that at all," said the judge.
The third juror examined, J. B.
McDermott, 319 North Seventeenth
street, was excused from the jury
Because he said sympathy for Davis
might influence his verdict.
Bu Two Accepted.
Willard Fallon, the, fifth man ex
amined, was excused. because he
said he might not return a verdict
of guilty even if the state proved
Davis guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt, of assaulting Mayor Smith.
Mr. Fallon is a farmer near Elk
horn, Neb. '
The same astonishing reluctance
of prospective juror's to convict al
leged rioters was shown in District
Judge Sears' court, where a jury was
being impaneled to try Sam Novak,
17 years old, on the charge of con
spiracy to murder Will Brown, the
negro lynched by the court house
nrob.
New Evidence Promised.
Novak was indicted by the grand
jury October 21 with Perry Jen
kins. Jenkins was acquitted Janu
ary 2. Novak is a newsboy.
ueorge Davis is up for his second
trial County Attorney Shotwell
says the trial will probably take the
entire week.
Davis was tried the first time on
these charges, starting December 15.
The case went to the jury Decem
ber 18. After being: out two nights
and a day, the jury failed to agree
and was discharged.
"We have a great deal of new evi
dence which, in my opinion, must
convince tjie jury," said County At
torney Shotwell.,,
We have about two, barrels of
new evident," said Eugene O'Sulli
van, one of the attorneys for Davis.
"I think I'm to get acqtiitted this
time," said Davis.
Davis is accused of striking Mayor
Smith a blow on the side of the
head, while the mayor was in the
hands of the mob. The mayor is
positive in his identification of
Davis. He declared at the first trial
there was no possibility of. his be
ing mistaken.
The alleged, assault by Davis took
place between 9 and 10 the night of
the riot. Davis defense in the first
trial was an alibi. He swore he ar
rived at his home, 1512 North Twenty-eighth
street at about 8:15 the
night of the riot and did not leave
the house again that, night. His sis
ter and five dinner guests who were
at the house, swore to this also.
Taxi Driver to Testify
It is said that in tne present trial,
a taxicab driver will, be placed on
ithe stand by the state-, who will
swear that he took Daviy home in
his axi at 10:10 that night. Davis
in the firsS trial -id he went h6me
in a taxicab, but at about 8.
If Davis' story is true, he was not
downtown when Mayor Smith was
assaulted. If the taxicab driver's'
story is true,, he was downtown at
the time of the assault.
Davis was indicted November 7,
and was arrested in Lincoln. He is
a wholesale and retail fruit and pro
duce peddler. '
He was released under $14,000
bond after he had been in jail two
weeks. His sister, Mrs. Catherine
Campbell, of Memphis, Teffn., went
oti his bond. v
Fred Rissi, charged with con
spiracy to commit the murder of
Will Brown, the negro lynched by
the mob at the court house, Septem
ber 28, was put on trial yesterday be

anyone that the woman was "all
right," nor anything of that char
acter when she had been dead for
hours, as your headlines affirmed.
Statements of that kind call for
correction because they are in line
with a frequent misapprehension that
Christian Science teaching attempts
to dispose of evil simply by saying
it is not so. Christian Science teach
ing may seem to some to be peculiar
in that it holds the spiritual facts
of life to be superior even to the
physical experience of death, but
that is something entirely different
from trying to change the evidence
of the physical senses simply by
asserting that it is not true.
Your article raises the issue of
the . relative merits of Christian
Science and drug methods of heal
ing.' There are thousands of people
in Omaha who rely upon Christian
Science for physical healing, as well
as for spiritual guidance, yet a fail
ure in its application is so rare that
you devote to it a double column in
the center of your front page If
rarity, is the prime test of the im
portance of news then you were jus
tified in giving the prominence you
did to the article in question. By
that test, incidents of healing
through Christian Science have no
news value for they are every hour
events in this " citv and state and
many cases of healings can be found I
for every socalled failure. Proofs !
that fully support this assertion are j
offered in the midweek services of
the Christian Science churches and
in the lives of your citizens who are
members of these churches.
