Railroads Eighty Years

We have yet two decades to wait before
we can celebrate the railroad IL isa won
derful record, that eighty years of rapid
development. Il has revolutlonized the
world commercially, socially and intellect
ually. The Atlantic aud the Pacifie have
become near neighbors, the inaccessible
and therefore valueless plains of the West
have been penetrated and brought into
touch with the markets of the world.
New York and Chicago, that in the pioneer
days were weeks away from one another,
are now but eighteen hours apart.
The railroad has entered Jerusalem;
it has pierced darkest Africa; it is crossing
the sands Of the Sahara; it scales the side of
yesuvius; it bridges the most forbidding
ehssms and tunnels through mou ntains
and under rivers. The whistle of the
locomotive is the voice of progressl The
rails over which it runs are the steel bands
that bind nations into great commercial
brotherhood.
The rapid development Of the world
along every desirable line since the To-
connective became factor in human affairs
is all the argument necessary to prove the
railroad the greatest or all civilizing
influences. A comparison OF the past
eighty years with the thousands OF
centuries preceding furnishes an eloquent
proof ofthe far-reaching, uplifting, indus
trial, ethical and educational value OF the
railroad.

SIMPLE CATARRH REMEDY.
Take "a Hyomei Treatment Four Times
"a Day and be Cured.

Day and be Cured.
Hyomei has performed almost mir
aculous cures and is to-day recog-
nized by leading members of the med
ical profession as the only advertised
remedy for this disease that can be
relied upon to do just what it claims.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have a change IF climate.
but now with Hyomei you can carry
health-giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it few min
utes four times day, cure yourself.
The Hyomei treatment is simple and
easy to use. 1t destroys all catarrh
germs in the air passages and enriches
and purifies the blood with ozone.
When using Hyomei the air you
breath will seem like that on the
mountains, high above the sea level.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
s1.00. extra bottles soc. If il does not
give you satisfaction, G.. A. Parcher
will refund your money. You run no
risk whatever in taking this reliable
treatment.

also recited that each bicycle was
equipped with a smokeless bicycle

Grove has been indicted here by the
Pottawattamie county grand jury for
alleged completely in a street car hold
UP of July 2, 1905, when about $50
was secured from two conductors and
a motorman. Arthur Levi, a younger
man, is indicted on thesame charge with
Grove. The principal evidence against
both men was given by Mrs. Lillian
Dalton, a South Omaha woman who
overheard conversation between them
and saw them counting money on the
morning after the robbery.
Other witnesses testified that Grove,
in company with Levi, was at saloon
in Council Bluffs an hour or two be-
fore the robbery. Grove is now in
the hands Of the Omaha authorities
awaiting trial in February for robbery
in connection with the Cudahy kidnap-
ing of five years ago.

ONE MAN POWER.

There is still criticism against the
one man power in the house Of
representatives. THE Speakers the
house" is a common expression.
This to a certain extent is true
Thos. B. Reed is responsible for the
present regime. When the Republ1-
cans carried the house in 1888,
Crisp, Che Democratic leader, de-
Clared in an interview in Washing
ton, that the Republican victory
would be of little consequence as
they would not be able to pass a
single bill that did not meet the ap-
prOYaI OF the Democratic members.
Congress met and Mr.. Reed was
elected speaker. Then began that
celebrated filibustering process by
which the Democrats undertook to
carry out the policy outlined by
Crisp. Reed met the emergency
10y counting quorum and changing
the rules so that a majority could
transact business. And when the
Democrats came into power four
years later they adopted Reeds
rules and these rules have been in
continuous use since they were first
adopted. 1t is true that they are
arbitrary and may be used unwise-
ly but not to the public injury. The
senate is proverbialIy slow, and
after q measure gets through the
senate and back to the house for
conference it is then ,again before
that body for further consideration
so that under the present organiza-
Gion of our national legislature
hasty and inconsiderate Legislation
us impossible. Then if the speaker
is not able to nut bill through the
house would never accomplish any
Gaing and would be at tho mercy Of
any one member. One man coulG
absolutely block legislation ant
force anything through that ht
pleased. He could by differen
maneuvers keep up a continuous
roll call and stop the transaction O
any business until the house in des
pair would consent to pass any pc
measure he wanted, right or wrong
In order TO overcome this power O.
one man and to enforce the transac
ton of a3nsiness, it was necessary
TO change the rules so the speaker
could enforce action, and to thi
ut was necessary to give him arbi
trary power.
