Salary Question.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Lincoln, Neb., April eS.--The Nebra SIX
supreme court commissioners, a body Of
nine members and an adjunct to the high
est judicial tribunal in the state, went on
strike, and by their defiant attitude
compelled the legislature to srecede from
Its hostile stand against continuing the
commission in office.
The two houses of the legislature were
dead-locked on the appropriation bill, one
of the chief contentious being over the
salary item of the. supreme court COM
missioners. The house for two days had
refused to vote the item providing SAL
aries Of the commission. and yesterday
when the supreme court called its monthly
sitting the commissioners declined to hear
any cases or act in any capacity until
their salaries had been voted by the Leg
islature.
6 Late in the afternoon the house receded
and passed the disputed salary item The
commissioners will resume their duties at
the next term Of court, the present one

--> PASS 1T ON
The True Way to Enjoy a Pleasure.

The way to enjoy truth is to pass It
on to others.
!, Certainly it is pleasure after having
enjoyed anything to be able to see your
friends enjoy it. A lady of Key West,
Fla, believes in this. She says: II am a
great believer In passing a good
thing along to others and my faith in
Postum Cereal Coffee is founded upon
such truthful experiences that I take
pleasure in passing it along to my
friends.
Coffee has had a very distressing effect
upon me. I have long been great suf-
ferer from Indigestion. Some time ago
commenced drinking canned milk with
just enough tea to give 1t a favor. Even
this did not agree with me and when
friend of mine a few weeks ago told me
what wonderful results she had gained
by giving up coffee and drinking Postum
l bought package to try.
Il quit coffee and tried the Postum.
Have found 1t delicious and nutritious.
My appetite, which was very poor, has
increased wonderfully and my indigestion
has disappeared. I look forward to meal
time and Postum Cereal.
81 know many people who have bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. One, delicate elderly lady, suf-
fered terribly from nervous headaches and
other nervous troubles. She was on the
verge of nervous prostration when adj
.vised to drink Postum instead of coffee,
which she did with the result that her
headaches have almost entirely disap-
peared already. Her doctor was surprised
at the result and advised her to stick to
Postum. She looks younger and feshier
than in ten years past" This lady also
goes on to give the cases and names of
half a dozen other friends. One of these
is Cuban.
"Cubans are famous coffee drinkers and
this gentleman was mo exception. His
physician exhausted his remedies without
any benefit. When it seemed he could
live no longer a friend advised him to
shift to- Postum and he is now living

constitutional and he urged members to
vote against it on the ground that its
passage would only result in confusion and
could not bring about the desired result.
A majority Of both the Ramsey and
Hennepin delegations were opposed to the
bill, the st. Paul democratic members de-
claring it to be a partizan measure de-
signed to extend by one year the term of
City Clerk Jensen, a republican whose
term Of office expires June 1 and who
will be succeeded by democrat, elected
by the city council. The bill provided that
