LIVELY TILT ON TELEPHONES
MOrsman Insists on CrOss-Examining

(From a STAN Correspondence

LINCOLN, Feb. 17.-(special Telegram.)
The meeting of the telephone investiga-
tion committee tonight developed some ex-
element. Representative Morsman OF
Douglas insisted on the right of cross-ex-
aiming c. H. Judson Of the Twin City
Telephone company, who had been brought
here from Minneapolis by the so-called in
dependent telephone people to testify as to
rates. Senator Warner of Dakota, chair
man of the committee, denied this right and
then Senators o'Neil, Gifin and Meredith
sided with Morsman and the result was
that Judson was subjected to a rigid cross
examination by Morsman. The effect of
the REORGANIZATION was not encourag-
ing to the independents, but rather favor
able to the Nebraska Telephone side of the
controversy.
At the conclusion OF the meeting SEN
ator Howell of Douglas took occasion to re,
sent a statement made by President Yost
of the Nebraska Telephone company that
he had come here as TIE representative of
the Omaha Commercial club.
Lyle l. Abbott Of Omaha appeared before
the senate committee on privileges and
elections in the interest OF the bill for a
four-year term of ONCE for county officers.
The committee is In favor of the four-yeaT
term. but divided as to the extension OF

A CORKER
but Not Much of "A Pastor.

There was an old clergyman in central
New York state some years ago who was a
very powerful speaker, bIc whose private
life was by no means exemplary. Some OF
the more outspoken Of his Pensioners were
in the habit Of demonstrating with him
regularly about this, and his reply invari-
ably was, Don't do as l do; do as I tell
you to do"
1t is so with a great many physicians.
There are hundreds OF medical men who
fully understand the folly of drinking cof-
fee and tea. who tell their patients not to
drink either, yet who use one or the other
themselves. But sometimes 1t knocks even
the doctor out and he has to quit Old King
Coffee. A physician of Wasioja, MINI,
says: 81 was a liberal user of coffee from
my youth and my health broke down while
at college, In 1880, at 25 years of age, but
/ continued to use coffee until 1898,
although l was nervous and suffered con-
stantly from a condition known as dia-
betes insipiduE. a condition that is we'll
known to be due to nervousness. Ny
weight was below par and no diet OF tonic
medicines were sufficient to restore my
vitality and strength.
In 1895 l became suspicious OF coffee
and | broke on the habit by taking up
Postum. Since that time my nerves have

stead Of the FIRST Tuesday in March, as
A. present.
New Railroad Tax Bill.
Friends Of equitable railroad terminal
taxation who sought to obtain the passage
OF H.. r. III have found new hopes In the
ultimate success OF their laudable plans In
the introduction Of a substitute measure
which is calculated and which they feel Will
meet and dispose Of the protests Of double
taxation and class legislation raised by the
railroads and their ~henchmen. The new
bill is II. r. $50. introduced in the house
today by Ten Eyck Of Douglas.
The new bill differs from the old one In
but two particulars. but enough, It is
thought, to secure it's passage. The first
and foremost change Is that the new bill
provides that for school tax the cities shall
accept the figures Of the State Board or
Equalization instead Of. as provided by
II. r. III, making a direct levy. This pro-
vision. therefore, completely eliminates the
basis for the railroads cry OF double taxa
ton.
The second change is that instead Of
granting to Omaha. South Omaha and Lin
coin only the right Of levying a direct as
sessmen on railroad terminals for local
purposes, this power is extended to all
municipalities in the state having such
terminal property. BY this provision the
hue and cry Of uneonstitutionality and
class legislation is hushed.
This bill receives the cordial endorse
ment Of many who were opposed to II. R.
III, and has seemed to arouse much gem
eral interest in, this method OF taxation for
which Omaha has so persistently clamored.
J. II. Mcintosh OF Omaha, attorney for
the Real Estate exchange, who drew II. r.
III, feels encouraged over the reception
of his new bill. He was at the capitol to-
Gay in it's interest. o.

Editor Plain Dealer,
Sir: We thank the Times for post
ing US as to Miss Helen Chapin's ex-
cellent qualifications. 1t is not so
much her fault that she is on that
ticket as 1t is her misfortune that The
editor of the Times wears petticoats.
We are informed by prominent re-
publicans Of Cresco that Miss Chaplin
through their influence and promised
support reluctantly accepted the NOM
ination.
We doubt If the Times would admit
that the office of Superintendent of
schools was not position that lady
could fill better than any man with
equal qualifications.
AS to Miss Chaplin being elected,
Mrs. Adams knows Miss Chaplin is the
candidate, regardless Of party, Of ev-
cry voter of Howard County who has
not lost faith in womaukind, and that
she would scorn the support of any
man who had not implicit faith in
her qualifications and purity of char
acter.
Mrs. Adams must remember that
men do the voting in Howard county
and probably will so long as ladies of
her standing refuse to support their
own sex for office.
