GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 59-(spe-
ciaL)-At o'clock yesterday morning
after an all-night session, the city coun-
ell, by unanimous vote i'm each case, over
ruled the remonstrances filed against all
OF the saloonkeepers in Grand Island and
granted licenses. In only one case was
notice OF appeal given, that of Henry
Ham, owner OF Hams park, who re-
fused to make appearance by an attor-
ney, and was Indifferent as to whether
he secured a license or not. The remon-
strances we're brought through the efforts
OF the Anti-saloon league of the state
which sent agents to secure the evidence
some time ago. A weak feature OF the
case admitted 20 be such by the attorney
for the league, was the testimony Of
William Chambers, a Grand Island college
student, who testified that he weighed 145
pounds. continually wore glasses, was bald
on both sides OF the forehead. had a pretty
heavy beard and was ive feet eight inches
in height, and had been selected out OF
seventy-1ve young men at the Grand Island
college to go about from place to place
in the city. buy q half pint Of whisky
and bring in the evidence as a violation
on the part OF the saloon man of the law
Chambers would be taken anywhere to
he anywhere from " 70 % years OF age.
At no place did he give any indication
OF the fact that he was not of age, and
these facts led to a severe attack on the
part OF the attorneys for the saloon men
upon the methods employed to secure the
evidence necessary TO sustain re-
monstrance On the Sunday opening
charge the evidence was more substantial,
but appears to have been set aside by the
tlat ha
saloons were not sufficiently located, or
It had not been sufficiently shown that
licenses were issued to the same appli-
cants last year. General opinion seems
to sustain the action Of the council. but
not the excuses It is generally reported
are at times permitted by three or four
of the saloons, and the action Of the city
authorities does by no means indicate that
still more liberties can be taken.

counties met here last week and formed a
state branch Of the American Society of
Equity. Resolutions were adopted vigor-
ously endorsing the farmers strike which
was called by the society's officers In
indianapolis two months ago.
The purpose OF the associa ton is to con-
troll through united action the prices Of all
farm products, the general plan being to
withhold products until market prices have
advanced TO the minimum standard fixed
by the natonal officers. The standard Cor
the strike called in February fixed the
price of wheat at 81 per bushel, with a
corresponding increase in the price OF other
grains and agricultural products. The So
ciety proposes to maintain its own system
Of crop reporting and to base the price
standards, which are published in the ON
cial organ each month, upon tho crop
figures thus obtained.
National Organizer Sherman has been at
work in this section of Nebraska since
February ~ and thus far has enrolled 1900
members. The counties represented I'm the

WHAT CONSTITUTES SUCCESS.

- $500 ~AN0AA - - LIZ OOSSEOS.
Some time ago Boston firm offered a
prize OF $3.50 for the best answer to the
question "What Constitutes Success?''
Inc winner of the prize, Mrs. A. j.
Stanley, of Lincoln, Hans, gave the fol.
lowing reply:
HE has achieved success who has lived
well, laughed often and loved much; who
mas gained the respect of intelligent men
ana the love of little children; who has
fllled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the word better than he found
It, whether by an approved poppy, per-
rect poem, or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it; who has
always looked for the best in others and
given the best he had; whose life was an
Inspiration; whose memory benediction. .
there were many erterions of success
as viewed by as many standpoints. The
sordld mind which has spent its energies
solely in the accumulation of money
gauges his fellow man purely from a
financial view. The vain aspirant for
social distinction makes popularity the
criterion. The ambitious mans standard
IS fame, and so on through the list. The
Kansas woman makes duty performed
and its accompanying happiness the key
note,. which Is certainly a wholesome
standard. Her views may not meet the
approval of some whose ideas of success
are limited to selfish considerations, but
her answer is good one and is worth the
S25o She received as a reward.

IMMORTALITY.

Hon. W. J. Bryan. 1t is not only q
beautiful word painting Of immortal
ity, but contains much good food for
thought:
If the Father designs to touch
with divine power the cold and pulse
less heart Of the buried acorn and
make it burst forth from its prison
walls, will He leave neglected the
soul Of men who was made in the
image Of his creator? II He so stoops
to give to the rosebush, whose wither.
ed blossoms float upon the autumn
breeze, the sweet assurance Of another
springtime, will He withhold the
words Of hope from the souls Of men
when the frosts Of winter come? Il
matter, mute and inanimate, Il
changed BY the force Of nature into
multitude Of forms that never die,
will the spirit Of man snffer annihila-
ton after il has paid . brief visit
