Nebraska C0GFOR GOVERNOR'S MACHINE Executive to. Confirm Experts to Carry Out Physical Valuation Bill. RESULT OF LITTLE PROVISO eces Will Have Abandant Op- ¥y to Tell What a Good Ap (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 1L«(8pecial.)—Nebraska will be treated to the very humiliating spec- tacle the first of the week of three rail- way commissioners, elected by the people for a term of six years each, marching into the offige of the governor and requesting him to ffl‘ml( them to name certain per- s0ns us experts to carry out the provisions of the physical valuation bill. This Is the result of a Hitle proviso put in the bill by a democratic legislature that the experts and helpers shall be ap- rointed with the eonsent of the governor. The proviso was put in there for the pur- 1ose of glving the governor a little more ple for distribution among the great, Iungry army of demo-pops Under the terms of the bill the governor will be able to get quite a big cog In his machine for those who are appointed for this work, will necessarily have to spend good deal of the time over the state nd they will have plenty of opportunities tell the people what a good senator Governo: Shallenberger will make Fight wot Settled at Primary. The republican primary to be held in Lin- coln, April 16, promises to be a waste of time and money, as several candidates will have their names on the election ballot regardiess of the outcome of the primary) Don Love and A. H. Hutign have sub- mitted thalr names to_the voters at the primacy for mayor, while John B. Wright will be & tandidate regardless of who wins the republican nomination. This f&° the first time Lincoln has had an opporcunity to hold a.non-partisan elec- tion, but it remained for those who have been shouting loudest for no politics in city afairs, to get up the primary for the selection of candidates. Insofar asm the elec- tion ballot. is concerned, there will be no party designation. as all the candidates will have to go on the ballot by petition, o all this primary will do for the candi- date receiving the highest vote will be to advertise him as the choice of the majority of the republicans voting. a o Political affairs in Lincoln were tangled | up by the action of a self-constituted com- mittee attempting to work through he legis- laure a charter which a great many busi- ness men did not want. This charter pro- vided for a commission of five persons to manage the affairs of the city, but in- asmuch as It was backed by the biggest corporations in the city the legislature re- fused to pass It. In the meantime the back- ers of the charter forgot all about a pri- mary election and the time had gone by before they waked up. Then the republican committee concluded to manage a primary for the benefit of the candidates who desired to run as republicans. In the meantime lawyers say there are very grave doubts whether Lincoln can have any election this spring. School of Agriculture Commencement.

No arrests have been made by the po- lice as yet, but descriptions of the men are in the hands of the detectives and it 1s thought that good results in each case will be obtained soon. Chriss says that one of the men whom he suspects blocked the doorway of the car as he boarded it at Sixteenth and Burt streets, and that the other men crowded him and secured his pocketbook. They jumped off the car at’ Seventeenth and Cuming streets.

Wireless telegraphy has made great strides within the last few months. There have been several vessels which have sent out the distress sign, thereby calling to thelr ald other ships which might never have known of the danger but for the wonderful method of transmitting communicatifons through the other, but in every Instance it has been noticed aifficulty has arisen in locating the di- rection from which the distress signs have been sent. One of the foremost in- vestigators of wireless telegraphy and its possibilities in the United States is Mr. Elliott Woods, superintendent of the United States capitol. Mr. Woods, who has perhaps the best wireless receiving outfit anywhere in the country, is ex- perimenting now with a device for lo- cating the direction from which such a message may come. Briefly describing it, it fs a device by which through the aid of a cone-shaped contrivance at the auxiliary recelving wire in all directions and thereby ascertain just exactly whence | the signal comes. A homely description of the idea is this. Place a funnel on the top of a funnel arranged so as to make it possible |to turn any direction and there you have it Cody Favors Duty on OIL While ofl and water are not supposed to mix very well, Colonel Willlam F. Cody, otherwise known as Buffalo Bill, seems to have made a successful mixture of oll and buttermilk. Colonel Cody Is in Washington at the present time to renew acqualntance with old friends In the army with whom he was assoclated for many vears, and inci- dentally to keep an eye on the tariff bill 80 far as it relates to tme countervalling duty of petroleum and Its products. The colonel has recently acquired some noto- riety because of his partiality towards but- termilk as & beverage, but he has gained more of a reputation as an oil producer. The colonel is enthusiastic as to the prod- ucts of the western oll fields. He has very large Interests in Wyoming and he declares that that state will soon rival the Okla- homa-Kansas field, which is at present the largest in the United States, but like all other oll producers is fearful that If pe- troleum 1s to be admitted absolutely free there will be a slump in the oil market. The enormous production in the Mexican field, while not at present a menace to the United States producers, certainly will be It there is no tariff bar against Mexican {olls coming to this country. The Mexican | government imposes a duty on American ofls and thelr uroducts and even though the countervalling duty be maintained this would afford no protection should the Mex- ican authorities dc-ided to place petroleum products on the iree list in that country. Stll Colonel Cody thinks that the future of the ofl fields of the west tls very prom- ising and that much will be added to the wealth of the state of Wyoming through its oil flelds. As to Irrigation, he declar that tfle government works will add enorm- ously to the agricultural wealth of all the arld and semi-arid regions of the country which can be supplied with water, and he expresses the same bellef that In spite of the opposition which the irrigation project met at first that no act of congress has done so much for the west as the irrigation projects now in course of construction will jeventually bring to this country | Police Buy Beer From E. Then Close Place. On the charge of selling beer on Sunday, Ernest P. Derek, the proprietor of a pool room at 108 Capitol avenue, and Harry Albes, the clerk, were arrested late ye terday afternoon by Sergeant Cook and Of- | ficers Emery and Triplett, who wore civil- {lans’ clothes in order to collect thelr evi- dence agalnst the men and arrest them in the act of dispensing liquor. | Lincoln Connor, a negro, was arrested at the same time on a gambling charge, officers reporting that they found him con- dueting & poker game in the rear of the pool room. All three men were locked up | at the police station and their bonds were | fixed at 360 for Connor and $100 each fo the other two men. | Numerous complaints had been made to the police of late that while the saloons in | that meighborhood had been observing the Slocumb law, Derek's pool room had been occaslonally converted Wmto a saloon on ! Sundays. Investigation Saturday proved that a quantity of beer had been bought land delivered at the place, and the rald | was planned and carried out under the di- P.

DANGEROUS FAKES, Tricks (o Introduse Alum Baking Powders Which Should Be Exposed. There has recently been attempted at some of our grocery stores, and also at awelling houscs, by agents who are trying to sell alum baking powders, what the exhibitors call & baking powder test, They pretend to show by some bolling test that. pure ,cream of tartar baking powders contain something which every woman of inteliigence knows they do not. | It does not need a chemist to expose this trick. Cream of tartar, which is the chief constituent of the best and most | wholesome baking powder, s originally a clear, white crystal. This is ground into a fine, creamy flour, in which form, mixed | with baking powder, It is present In the | baking powder. Cream of tartar, when | mixed with water and bolled simply re- turns to its crystalline form, and that Is all there is to the so-called test | The matter of speclal Inteerst to the | public is to know what these people offer well known purity and established refu- tation against which these slanders are | directed. They are offering a ! powder which official analyses have re- peatedly shown is made from alum, & drug so well recognized by physicians and | scientists as injurious to health that in | many countries its use in bread is entirely prohibited! So cheap and Inferior are the ingredlents of this powder that it costs to make less than 3 cents a pound. | No prudent housewife will knowingly put | such stuff as this into her food Announcements of the Theaters. “The Clansman's” fourth season has been marked by even greater enthusiasm than it aroused before. Crowded audi- ences have been the rule everywhere and thousands have been turned away for lack of room. There is some remarkable quality in this play which causes the public Interest to Increase pith every successive presentation. It I8 the most wonderful “repeater” in theatrical his- tory. The only explanation is that “The Clansman” gets closer to the hearts of the people than any other offering pre- sented for many years. Tt is a distilla- tion of their life, bone of their bone, and sinew of their sinew As long as the deathless deeds of the herole Ku Klux Kian are in glorious remembrance, “The Clansman” will remain the epic of the American people.
