DRY" VICTORY
IN NEBRASKA
MANY TOWNS THROUGHOUT
STATE DECIDE TO ABOLISH
SALOONS AFTER FIGHT.

Omaha, Neb., April 7.-Yesterday's
elections in Nebraska resulted in the
greatest victory for the anti-saloonists
which that party ever has won in the
state. There were elections in every
city and town, except Omaha, and in
almost every one the sole issue was
license or no license.
The prohibitionists had carried on a
vigorous campaign and the result of
their work was shown in the large
vote which was cast In almost every
place. In most cases the issue was
determined by referendum vote.
Up to 10 o'clock not single report
was received showing town which
bad formerly been without saloons had
gone wet" while almost half the
towns reporting which formerly had
been wet" had voted to do without
saloons. Among these latter we're

doomsday with them, but until you
cure the kidneys you will never get
well. Doan's Kidney Pills not only
remove uric acid, but cure the kid

acid is ended. Here is Waxahachie
testimony to prove it:
G. R. May, farmer, living nine

There was a large congregation at the East Pearl Street NJ. F.. church yesterday morning, at which time the pastor, Rev. E. 0. Tullar, preached strong and practical sermon on God s Standard" After applying the subject In a spiritual way, the speaker re- marked that it would be an excellent thing if the people would apply this standard in politics. He thought that 1t would be effective in settling the many disturbing questions that are now so manifest in the politics of this country. And said the preacher there is no problem in our national life but that can be settled by Gods stand ard. The lifting up of Gods standard is just what is' needed in the world to- day. And it Is nowhere more needed than in this country of ours. It Is the church which is to make public opinion. It is often said that great questions must be settled by public opinion and that everything must wait for public opinion. Now, as a matter of fact, the church should make pub lie opinion. Some people prefer to be popular than to be right. We must have Gods standard as our guiding principle. And as in the church, so In the world.

WALLINGFORD NEWS
Borough's Schools Are in Good Condition-lndependents
 Are Defeated.
Special Journnl-Courl.r New. service,

Wallingford, March s.--The Col lingwcod (O.) school tragedy. where ll4 children lost their lives in burn ing school house. has led a number Of Wallingford citizens to wonder what the result would be if one of the io- cal school buildings should be the scene of a serious fire. There have been many statements to the effect that the local school houses were dangerous fire traps. That such Is not the case could be plainly seen by an inspection of any of the local buildings. Superintendent Clinton & Marsh stated to the Journal Courier this evening that the Wallingford school houses were not at all danger ous, and that he did not thing the Collingwood disaster could be dupli- cated in any of the six buildings of the borough: He said There are no doors in any of the schools which open inward and the stairways and halls with one exception, those of the high school, and there would be no danger of crowding. The high school is equipped with modern steel fire es- capes and the danger from the mar row stairways and hall could be elim- mated by the use of these. The Washington street and Whittlesey avenue buildings are new, modern in every detail and serious catastrophe would be almost impossible. Fire drills have been conducted in all the schools for some time, and there is not building which cannot be emp tied in less than three minutes An other feature of two of the local school houses is the ire prof furnace rooms. The doors and partitions are covered with plate of steel and are absolutely fire proof. Taken all in all Wallingford should be congratulated upon the excellent condition of her schools. The schools in several of the neighboring towns, for instance. Branford, are in very bad shape and special town meeting is to be held in that town to decide upon adequate fire protection for the schools. One two story school house in Branford has not even a bucketful of water or ladder on the premises. no fire escapes and is situated over a mile from the nearest engine house Wallingford mothers and fathers may rest assur- ed there Is no chance for duplica- ton of the Ohio tragedy in any of our schools.
