Prouty Urges Roads. In an address opening the campaign in the Beventh district for congress Judge Prouty today, at Knoxville, opened up a new proposal for Des Moines, by insisting that the federal government, nstead of spending vast sums for waterways spend the same money for good roads in the state.

Jamieson of Gage county, the only demo- cratic member from Iowa, would not be a candidate for -renomination. It appehrs that this was an error for he has ngw sepg for nomination blanks and this is taken to mean that he will enter the race &t onoe.

GROWING IN POPULARITY AS IT IS Could Help More it People Would 1| Bquipment— Denetits Armies Every ‘ Year. | | | | As an amplification of the university ex- | tension Idea, the reading and reference de- partments of the Omaha Publio library are belug overlooked to some extent. Their, popularity Is growing In encouraging fath- | Yon, however, and Miss Tobitt and her as- | sistants feel that if those who could be benefited would keep the complote e ulp~ ment ‘of the library {n mind the patron-; age would be largely Incrensed every week of the year. | As an evidence of the increasing wuse made of the library reading room, for in- stance, during 1909 41,46 persons patronized |the file racks, using newspapers, period- | {cals_and technical issues of one kind and another. The daily average was 115 v& itors. v No library in the country of the s'ze of the Omaha institution takes betier cars [of the wants of a cosmopolitan popula- |tion. Datly papers from twenty-one | the largest cities of the land are kept #fn |tile, comprising the, best publications of [the various places. Of weekly issues | | twenty-two different papers are provided. | | Besides papers printed .in the English lan- guage, there are also sixteen printed in forelgn languages. The use made of these papers by patrons fully justifies the ex- pense of subscription. Trade Technical Papers, In the Mst of weekly, monthly and qur-] terly magazines, trade papers and techni- | |cal journals in many languages, are to be found 240 different publications. Thete range from journals treating of high art to those dealing with modest. matters touchinig the househald and the shop; from magazines dealing with heavy philosophi- cal and soclological toplcs, legal and busi- ness questions to some of the most tech- | nical nature and very costly production. | On any given line of work, thought or| study now engaging the attention of the| world, In large or small degree, there Is to be found one or more magazines or compliations at hand In the Omaha library, They are indevsd completely and imme- | diately avallable for the use of any per- son seeking knowledge; and they gre used very extensively, but the library authorf- tles feel that there is still opportunity here | for study and the acquiring of information which 18 not taken advantage of. Public documents, patent office reports, congressional proceedings, dfawings, medi- | cal books, reference volumes on every imaginable live toplc—all are at hand. And the accommodations for using thém are of the best. Works in Many Languages. Perfodicals and bound volumes In the | original French, German, Danish, Swedish and Yiddish can be found at the library, without the need of a tedlous walt. + The willing aid of trained people is no mall attraction to be kept In mind In this connection. The visitor with but a ! few minutes to look up some moot point can get satistaction no less than the serious student or investigator who knows exactly what he wants, but may be somewhat at ®ea as to how to find \t. An indication of his wants in any speclal field will bring direct help from the Iibrary attendants, and erhaps & valuable pointer born of better “-duntlon in the field of book study, | Even granting that much good use is made of the reading room, the library |heads do not consider this by any means the most satisfactory feature of thelr work. They feel the expense of subscription would be justified were not the papers and maga- zines to be afterward bound and placed among the permanent files of the institu- tion, The continuing use of the library as a whole is the real measure of {ts worth in the view of those who direct and manage it. And correlated with this thought is the ever-growing value to the investigator, the student, the writer, and o tie casual visitor even, of this depolllo&\of assured learning and mine of pertipent general In- formation—the Omaha publle Itbrary.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE \ Volume of Business Large Despite Several Adverse Factors. SNOWSTORM AFFECTS TRAFFIC Political Uncertainties and Reaction- ary Tome of Stock Market Have Bome NMtfect on General Situation. . NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade today says: Business conditions vary so widely in on tion from another and in one trade from andther that a generalization broad enough for the situation on the whole is dmloflt. Yet, making due allowance for the effeot of the severs weather in cer- tain parts of the country for the Influ- ence upon financlal confidence of polit- ical uncertainties, and for the conse- uence of speculative reaction, it appears fhat the. volume of trado continues very large the outlook for the spring is in no small degree better than it was two weeks ago. Insofar as the volume of new business i8 _concerned conditions in fron and steel 'are 1ot greatly changed, yet sentiment ro- garding the outlook is unmistakably im- proved.

Dog Saves Lives of Three Caught in Snowslide Feat of Canine Hero Near Spokane is Rewarded with Dinner of Tenderloin Steak. SPOKANE, Feb. 2.—High beef prices did not prevent Jack, a shaggy shepherd dog and the pet of a boarding house near Wallace, from having a big tenderloin steak for his supper tonight. Jack saved three lives today In a snow- slide and, therefore, he can have anything he wants now. The slide started near the Missoula copper mine just as the three people were sitting down to breakfast. They had no warning of its approach and before they realized what was happening they were being swept along inside the house down a hillside. The dog ‘was outside and escaped the slide by & few feet. He ran barking after the house as it was swept away. After the house lodged and none emerged, Jack barked loud and long untll neighbors came and rescued~the snowbound boarders.

ELECTIVE LORDS BATTLE CRY Ministry Will Couple This with Limi- tation of Veto Power. FEAR TO STAND ON SINGLE HOUSE [‘Cabinet ¥olds Session Lasting Three Hours on the Program ~_to Be Presented Next Monday. LONDON, Feb. 26.—Premier Asquith had an audience today with King Edward at Buckingham palace end the circumstance has given rise to many fantastic repotts. after yesterday's cabinet counoll, asked for today's audience with the object of acquainting his majesty with the proposed modifications of the government's attitude toward the principal questions dealt with in the speech from the throne. That modification of the cabinet's original plans have been forced by the rebellious radicals and nationalists is not to be doubted, but the cabinet represented As having decided not to countenancg the demands of the extremists that all men- tion of a reform of the House of TLords should be dropped from the government's plan. The ministerial view, or.at least.the view of an fmportant section of the minis- try, is that it its program is confined to a proposal on the question of veto, pure and _simple, it would affect the proposal for a single chamber government, to which plan the country would be opposed. ¢ In all probabllity, therefore, & plan for the limitation of the lords’ veto will be coupled with the constitytion scheme, In which the elective principle will be sub- stituted for the hereditary practice. The ministerialists consider -that “an elective versus an hereditary principle” will be a good battle cry with which they may appeal to thd country when the time comes for the election, which is inevitable before their proposal can be embodied in the con- stitution. Today's cabinet council was prolonged unusually. ~The ministers required thrse hours In which to reach a decision on\the plans to be presented In the Houss of Commons on Monday, when they will be obliged to come into close grips with the questions of finance ond the veto power of the lords. Subsequently, Premier Asquith and most of the other members of the cabinet left to spend the week-end in the country, Whe they will be out of the reach of “relcis,” whose parrying during tle last week has made life burdensome for them.
