Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, off New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them. be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs So IS pound,
and another So Is gallon, while a large share
OF the so-calIed cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than Decent glue.
dissolved in water or citric acid, and in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odOr by the
addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 20
cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit OF Mr.. Ma
jor's advertising. which now amounts to over
S., 900 month, throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1916.

Rubber being in growing demand,
scientific men have been trying to OBJ
tain it from plants which had not
been available commercially before.
Two French chemists, NM. Arnaud
and Vernuil, have discovered a proc
ess by which it may be obtained from
the Landolfia vine, which grows wild
and luxuriantly in nearly all parts of
Africa. The process Of tapping the
Landolfia is impracticable as the flow
of rubber hardens too quickly. By
the new process the vine is crushed in
hot water, by which means all the
rubber it contains is extracted.

IT cost Hon. III. B. DAZZLE So, 0S9. %
to be reelected to congress in this
district OF this amount he contri-
buted $3.50 to the Republican State
Central committee, 5000 each to the
Dane and Dodge county committees,
and 800 each to the Jefferson and
Columbia county committees.
AT the coming session of the legis-
lature an effort will be made to pass a
measure providing for assistant county
superintendent of schools. 1t is ar
gued that such officials are needed to
give proper attention to the country
schools, the latter being SO numerous
and the territory SO extensive in some
of the counties that the superintend-
ents are unable to perform their full
duties.

The Second Congressional district,
which is comprised of the counties of
Dane, Dodge, Jefferson and Columbia,
cast a total vote of Al, $50 for con-
gresham, of which Mr.. DAZZLE received
22,17 and Mr.. Awkward 1879. In
most of the Southern states it dOesn t
seem to require SO many votes to elect
representatives, as in South Carolina
less than 20, coo votes elected seven
congressman while in Mississippi it
takes still less, as seven congressman
were elected in that state by about
5000 votes. The government with
the consent of the gOverned,' which
was harped upon so vigorously as a
campaign issue by the Democrats,
seems to operate in a most peculiar
way in the sections where Democracy
is most dense and it looks as if this
principle of human liberty wasn't be-
ing SO scrupulously observed in the
sunny solid South. In ante-bellum
days the average South erner considered
himself equal to about five Northern
men in military prowess. The South
ern citizen of today may not think
himself the superior of his Northern
brother, but as far as practical politics
is concerned the voter in Dixie has
about ten times as much political
power as the voter in other parts of
the country. This inequality of repre-
sentation accorded the states of the
South is rather striking and should be
remedied in some way, and when
citizens are disfranchised representa-
tion should be proportionately reduced.

The last session of the Eifty-sixth
congress convened at Washington on
Monday 1t was a brilliant opening,
made markedly prominent by the feel
ings of joyful congratulation evinced
by the Republicans over the fattering
outcome of the national election. And
still veil hung over the whole scene,
occasioned by the loss of two such
valuable legislators as Senators Davis
and Gear. The delivering of the
presidents message was Of course the
Important feature of the opening. The

follows: President, Il. NJ. Allen OF Ames

NJ. Thayer OF Lincoln, A.. Wait of Syracuse,
j. j. Bonekomper of Sutton, Peter Jansen of
Jansen, j. NJ. LeFever of Strang and L. ID.
Richards of Fremont.
Mr.. Brown reported the progress of the
beet sugar industry out around the new
factory at Ames. 1t was not an encouraging
report, although beet raisers and sugar
manufacturers at Grand Island and Norfolk
are known to have Jared reasonably well
this year. 1t appears that at Ames and
III tributary territory an unusual rainfall
cut down the yield of beets to about a two
thirds crop and materially reduced the sugar
producing properties of such beets as we're
raised. The delay in the completion of the
factory also contributed heavily to the gen.
eral loss sustained this year by growers
and manufacturers
Mr.. Whitmore expressed himself as ut
terly discouraged over the beet sugar pros
poets in this country. He has been in cor
respondence with Nebraska's representa-
tives in congress in relation to the proposed
looping off the tariff protection to the sugar
interests against the productions Of planta-
tons in the new Spanish-American possess
s!ons, and has been advised by them that
the republicans have agreed upon looping
OFF 10 per cent of the tariff exacted on
products of those lands. He said that the
competition thus fostered would destroy the
industry in this country, at least for years
to come, and he believed that the peo-
pie have seen the last beet sugar factory
built in this state.
Secretary Mason then reported that he
had sent to each of Nebraska's representa-
tives in congress a copy of the resolutions
by the association at a special meet
ing in Lincoln December 10 last, and had
received acknowledgements from each of the
receipt thereof.
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to authorize the secretary to prepare
a statement of the industry in this state
and to forward to Nebraska's representa-
tives a reiteration of the protest of the as
ISOLATION against the proposed reduction of
the tariff en- products of Cuba and Porto
Rico.

WILL PAVE WNTOh STREET
city Council and County commissions
crs Reach mn Agreement IN the
Proposed Enterprise.

Omaha and South Omaha Commercial
clubs, The county commissioners and city
council OF Omaha broke bread together
Tuesday at the Commercial club rooms and
spent two hours in discussing the vexed
problem Of paving four blocks on Vinton
street, the common thoroughiare between
the two cities. The cost OF the work was
figured down to about 81, 900 and on mo-
ton Of f.. T.. Bruce the Commercial club
expressed, as Mr.. Bruce said, a demand
uuon the part Of its 500 members and 900
voters, that the county commissioners and
city council reach some agreement that
would result in the completion of this work.
Later the county commissioners and city
ccuLcil met and discussed ways and means
Of doing II. The section to be paved lies
between Twentieth and Tweuty-fourth
streets and the property along that part Of
the street is not sufficiently valuable to
justify assessment of property owners, even
IL they could be led to petition for the paw
inr.
Mr.. Mercer wanted to have a petition for
the paving prepared, wherein the property
owners would ask for the paving, anG
after the paving had been done the city
council should forget to levy the tax against
the property. Upon such an agreement the
li'INlN y ONHtio NOulu bp lluuO'u w Dtll~
ton for tho paving.
Mr., Mount suggested another method. He
believed that the council could prepare to
pay for its share of the paving by %increas-
ing the levy for the Park board and tho
county commissioners could take care of the
rest by increasing its levy for the road
fund. All the funds would go to the Park
beard, which could have the paving done
after an ordinance had been passed declaring
that part of Vinton street a boulevard. This
plan was finally adopted.
1t was supplemented by a motion by Lo-
beck that the city pay for the intersections
and that the city and county bear equally
the expense of the rest of the paving.
The county commissioners present were
NOT very enthusiastic over the proposition.
They were Commissioners Harte, Hofeldt,
Hector and Ostrom. The Members Of the
council present were Messrs. Bingham, Lo-
beck, STUNT, Mount, Bechel, Mercer and
Karr.
The commissioners and council will meet
with the Park board at . O'Clock Wednes-
day morning at the rooms of the latter in the
city hall to further the project.

reported that several more saloons in the city
are operating without having paid the

the business of the mayor and police force
TO see that all saloons are provided with
licenses, but in these cases the matter
seems to have been overlooked.

DR.. Towne was in the city yesterday after
neon and had q consultation with the city
officials. He said that after a thorough
fumigation with formaldehyde the Jail and
the rooms occupied By the patients would
be all right. There is some opposition to
the occupancy of the house at Thirteenth
and o streets by Robert Maxwell, the owner
Of the property, but the mayor said that
he proposed occupying the house whether
Maxwell liked IL or not, A guard is to be
placed about the house and a strict quar-
antine will be maintained. The ten pris-
oners in the city Jail are to be vaccinated.
