LUBS COMING TO FRONT Columbus, Neb., Oct. 30.—(Special elegram.) — Numerous . indications point to weaknesses of the demo- { ra\ic ring in Platte county this elec- tion. They have their backs to the wall. In their fanrtic endeavor to recover the lost democratic vote among the Germans, the bosses are staging their. second speaker within a Mr. Gerber, who will use the German language. Mr. Anslem was edvertised similar- ly last week, but disregarded this ex- pected phase with a few cursory and The German\ocieties in their regu- lar meetings and informally, are al- most to a man opposed to Wilson and endorsing Hughes. When also among a large element of the demo- tic party here the visit of W. J. Bryan is like throwing a red rag in heir faces. He passed through here st night, but was given no recep- on and the report of his Fullerton peech \was condemned in no mild rms, focusing dissention. On the other hand the dry element the democratic party here com- ains because the ring is devoting 0 much of their time and the con- fibutions to the wet cause and al- wing the candidates for the most Brt to shift for themselv, The re- blicans and progres united th encouragement from hundreds of imocrats, are working hard. The Hughes-Fairbanks club headed Mark Rathburn, a Roosevelt man, putting in some good licks. The efusal of the city council to permit hem to string a large sign across the street at headquarters has helped them. Altohgether while recogniz- ing the cunning and resources of the democratic bosses in this, their strongest county in the state, re- publican leaders go so far as to ad- mit an actual victory on November Reavis Knswers Claims of Service MadeBy_Hitchcock Pawnee City, Neb., Oct. 30.—(Spe- cial)—The largest and by far the most enthusiastic audience greeted Hon. C. F. Reavis, first district con- gressman, at the opera house Satur- day night, that has gathered at any place in Pawnee county during this campaign. Mr. Reavis dwelt at length upon the claims of Mr. Hitchcock that he, with the aid of the democratic congress, have succeeded in enacting into law more real beneficial legislation for the people than all the beneficial leg- islation passed in the previous/twenty years. The speaker explained the fact that Senator Norris of Nebraska intro- duced the bill into the senate provid- ing for the income tax law, and that the votes of the republican congress- men successfully carried the measure through; and that it was the #epubli- can senatorial and congressional votes that placed the child labor law upon the statute books o the federal gov- ernment. The speaker in eloquent and touch- ing words pictured the conditions of the warring powers as the basis upon which our present material prosper- ity is. based, and asked his. friends, “Are you exceedmMgly proud of this kind of prosperity?” Mr. Reayis spoke of the fitness of . L. Kennedy to represent the state n the senate and of Hon. McMullen to protect our interests in the state jenate. = The eloquent congressman from the " First Nebraska district clearly and unquivically stated the issues and his position upon same in state and na- tion and very much ot the satisfac- tion of his hearers. 0dd Aréfiments Used by Wilson In Rail Fight (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., Oct. —Statements made by son, democratic candidate the for State Railway commission in his re- cent address at Harvard and in ad- dresses made frequently at other points, show thatthe democratic can- didate is either wilfully misrepresent- ing facts in order to get votes or else is immensely ignorant of the condi- tions over which he would seck to have control if elected to the position of railway commissioner. Mr. on criticizes the railway alleging that it found a physical valuation of railway right-of- way od-the roads of the state of $2 5 per acre, whereas the government cen- sus reports shows a physical valu- ation of $40, thus leaving the inference that the commission’s faluation was essive. The' valuation given by the com- iission included land of all kinds, joth within city and town limits, as vell as outside, while the government aluation was simply on land out- side the cities and towns. That part of the physical valudtion made by lie state commission covers land in ~:me instances along the right-of-way Lich is worth as high as $2,500 per acre, Mr. Wilson used values obtained by 1 application of the multiple theory + used in Minnesota case, which has ot been adopted by the Nebraska commission. Outside of the towns and cities, the records of the railway ommission show that the value of right-of-wag outside of the towns and cities runs all the way from $6 per acre in Sioux county to an aver= 1ge of $158 per acte in Douglas county, and that the average would be just about what the government census reports, a record which Mr. Wilson could have easily secured if he had tried to gain the facts instead of con- tinuing his campaign of misrepresen- tation against Mr. Clarke in an effort to land a job as railway commissioner, |List of Nebraska Contributions to Campaign Funds Washington, Oct. 30.—(Special.)

If we all would practice inside-bath- ing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy- cheeked people everywhere. The rea- son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres- ent mode of livinig. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys- tem nearly an ounce of waste ma- terial must be carried out, else it fer- ments and forms ptomaine-like poi- sons which are absorbed into the blood.

PENITENTIARY 10 CLOSE WING; BUSINESS BUM IN DRY STAIE Startling Decrease Shown in Crime in Colorado Since Prohibition OLD TIMERS ARE LEAVING 37 Prisoners Will Go Out to Every Man Received and Terms Are Shorter. Canon City, Colo., Oct. 25.—So marked has been the effect of pro- hibition upon crime in Colorado that by the first of the year, or soon after that, one whole large wing of the state penitentiary will be closed for lack of prisoners. Within one month the prison will have barely three- fourths of its former number of oc- cupants, and, from December 1 on- ward, when the terms of many of the “old-timers” begin to expire, the in- stitution will empty at an unheard- of rate. \ 3 If the number of prisoners sen- tenced to the penitentiary during the last six months—since prohibition got its full stride—continues at the same rate during the next six months, the prison here will discharge about thirty-seven men to every new pris- oner taken in. This morning the penitentiary had only 707 prisoners, counting both men and women. A year ago, before prohibftion went into effect, its average number of inmates was well above 800—running nearer 900. Dur- ing the rest of this month, nine more prisoners will leave the institution, either on parole or through having served out their full sentences. Next month twenty others will depart. That exodus, if no new arrivals were booked, would reduce the prison ros- ter to 678. Moreover, the greater number of prisoners received since prohibition went into effect are sent there for much shorter terms than formerly; the class of men is different, most of the <‘habitual criminals” having left the state with the shutting down of the saloons. The new “short-termers" are paroled much sooner than the former “long-termers,” so the recent prisoners will not stay at the pen. ‘4 CURED WITHOUT THE Fistula, Fissure and all similar diseases cured under a positive guarantec: no pay until cured, Established permanently in Des Mof 617 Good Block, DLS MO KNIF 4 for years, L8, owa, OCTOBER _31, | 1916.
