must get the house to back down on some
Of its propositions, and the senate to re-
oede from some OF the things It put into
the bill. 1t is a game OF give and take.
Usually it is played by three members Of
the house and three from the senate. The
chairman Of the two committees OF the
senate and house. the ranking democrat
and the ranking republican of each com
mittee constitute the conference commit
tee. After they get together on every
proposition, the house conferees go back
to the house with a statement of the spells !
they have won and those they have lost,
and the senate conferees go back to the
senate with a similar account. As a rule
they recommend that their respective
bodies accept the compromise they have
made. Some times they cannot agree.
compromisers that they are, and then they
go back to their respective bodies for
further Instructions, after which the tug
Of war begins ali over again. Often the
battle lasts for days. and some times II is
drawn out into weeks. There have been
times when one house has laid down its
ultimatum, Thus far will we 60 and no
further" and the other has countered with
a statement of the points upon which IL
WIN not surrender. After all hope OF COM
promise is past they go back 70 their re-
spective houses and announce their in
ability to agree. Some times new con-
ferees are appointed. especially II the
measure be an important one, and they
keep pegging away until a compromise is
finally completed. There have been times.
however. even with such important legis-
letion as the big appropriation bills, that
the conferees have not agreed and the
matter has gone over to a succeeding ses-
sion.
But there are times when these con-
ference committees do even more than
patch up differences. One body may
amend the measure passed by the Other
body by striking out all after the enaetln,
clause. That leaves the conferees free to
bring in an entirely new measure on the
subject, and II has some times happened
that the conference committee Of six men
has written a measure different from that
passed by either body and both have ac-
cepted IT, some times. again. The confer
ence committees bring in reports which
one or both houses will not accept, but this
is exceptional Usually the house and the
senate simply ratify what the conferees do,
and then the bill is ready for the signature
OF the president.
Men may speak in the house ana the
senate. There may seem 10 be a battle
royal in progress on the floor OF the two
chambers, and the world may look on and
think Il is witnessing law in the making.
But. with the exception Of the few in
stances where the whole country is aroused
and all eyes are turned on Washington,
congress legislates entirely by its commit
tees. Behind the closed doors Of commit
tee and conference rooms are made the
agreements which the senate and the house
Tatify.

Heroism of Operator DOne 60 Death
I'm Wreck of Overland Limited
Here Of the Galveston
Disaster.

Three years ago as the Overland Limited
dashed through the night, in the bad
lands forty-five miles west Of Cheyenne.
Wyo., a rail broke IN two and came up
through the bottom Of the baggage car. In
an instant the train Of nine cars was piled
thirty feet high. while about and beneath
the wreckage were more than 80 dead OF
injured human beings. A frtghtful sleet
storm with biting cold was raging, and
to this the hurt and dying lay exposed.
The locomotive was wrecked so that Il
was impossible to cut loose and race ahead
60 the nearest settlement with word OF the
disaster, and Il seemed as n nothing could
be done TO save the sufferers except to
flag the next train, due In five hours.
when, from under the wreck. on hands and
knee stumps, came an apparition leaving
a red trail behind. II proved TO be Frank
Shaley. a telegraph lineman who had been
sent up the road to locate a wire trouble
and who, with his satchel Of instruments
strapped across a shoulder, had been in
the baggage car when the crash came,
Clutching the precious satchel, ne dragged
himself forward, but his legs had been
smashed off at the knees and he was bleed
ing frightfully. The telegraph! Cut In
on the telegraph ?" he shouted, but not a
man there knew which one OF the scores
OF wires to cut, and Shaley himself could
not tell without testing. They threw a
rope across an arm Of one OF the poles,
passed a sling about the dying man. and
holsted him up. Then he cut and grounded
the wire and connected his telegraph key.
Tenderly propped by anxious hands, he
began to send the call for the Cheyenne
operator. meanwhile gazing stoically az
the pool where his life blood ebbed away.
At that unusual hour OF the night he found
trouble in raising his man, and he pounded
his key for ten minutes before he got an
answering click.
Number II terribly wrecked forty miles
west Of Cheyenne. Send hospital train
he said. Then they pillowed his head on
the satchel and an armful OF waste, while
forty miles away a whistle shrieked
through the night and brought engineer,
fireman, and 200 Japanese tumbled on to
the wrecking train, followed by the hos
pital train with doctors and nurses. But
Shaley was gone when they came. Not a

man torture he must have Undergone, MOI

own agony and impending doom to the
little brass instrument with which he
had saved scores OF lives.

Omaha

Our cities have been honOred by the loca-
ton of the National Corn Exposition.
The responsibility of making a thorough
success of the most important agricultural event
in the interest of our grain and grass crop, that
the United States has ever known, rests, not
only on those who have been actively engaged
in the work, but upon every loyal citizen of the
three cities. 1t cannot be a success without the
cordial and enthusiastic support of each and
every man and woman in the community.
If you have friends who should or might be
interested in the Exposition, write them a per-
sOnal letter. The homes and hospitality of our
people must be extended to our guests.
Merchants and business houses should pre-
pare to decorate their places of business and vie
with each other to see who can produce the
most attractive outward appearance of welcome.
There are innumerable small courtesies,
that count for much, which each of us can show
the strangers within our gates after our visitors
are with US.
Having been made hosts on so important
an occasion, the opportunity is offered us to
show our visitors that true hospitality which

RESCUE HERMIT FROM STORM
Old Man Found Sick and Alone In
Cabin Near Kearney.

KEARNEY, Neb., Nov. Bl-(Special)-
County Clerk E. A. Miller and Commits
sioner Charles Rrassman had a rather
tough piece Of home missionary work to
perform Monday afternoon tina will per-
haps be remembered by them.
An old hermit by the name of Larson
has lived along the banks of the Platte
river for years and has won his livelihood
by a little truck gardening in the summer
and odd jobs in the winter. Last season
he moved onto an island in the Platte
river and built himself a hut. He has
never been bad enough off to apply for
aims at the court house, but had done q
few odd jobs there. Miller and Krassman
had missed him of late and during the
storm Monday the two wondered in what
condition he was in and why he had moi
made his appearance.
They took a horse and buggy and drove
to the river and succeeded in locating the
island and after a few hours in the storm
they found the hut. The old man was al
alone and sick in bed. 1t seems he hat
neither food nor shelter, the snow was
piled high on his bed, where 1t had drlftet
in through the poor covering on the hut
and, further, he had no way whatever OF
getting word to and from the outside
world. The two '-missionaries" had brought
some food with them and the old mar
accepted 1t with no little reluctance ant
it took several minutes talk to get him t.
agree to be taken to the county poor farm
this being the first charity he has eveI
allowed shown him.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Nov. B~.-(SpeciaI)
The heavy fall of snow in the last few
days blocked up all wagon roads leading
into the city and caused much inconven-
fence to those living at a distance. In
some places the snow drifts were from
ten to twenty feet deep, while shovels and
scoops had to be used before a passage
way could be effected. The roads are
now pretty well opened and traffic has
again been resumed The storm In this
part of the count has been an excellent
thing for winter grain, and as little dam
age to live stock Is reported and the
ground was badly in need of the moisture.
it seems to have been beneficial in more
ways than one.

DUNN BENDS KNEE TO COURT
Belligerent Lawyer Pleads for Chance
to Apologize.
SENDS CONNELL AS AN ENVOY
City Attorney Burma Also Tells
Court His Deputy f. Now I'm Spirit
TO Apologize and Get
Right,

LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 1~s.-(special Tele-
gram)-I. J. Dunn is sorry now. He
wants to be reinstated as a practicing
lawyer in Nebraska and he has sent word
to the supreme court that he is ready and
willing and anxious to apologize.
In his behalf w. J. Connell this morning
filed a motion in the court asking that
Mr.. Dunn be permitted to apologize and
be reinstated. In support Of his motion
Mr.. Cornell presented to each Of the
judges a copy of a brief which he had
prepared for his own use when he thought
Judge Sutton was going to dlsbar him.
Instead Judge Sutton, he said, had looked
up the law and found It was beyond his
jurisdiction to do this, and he was simply
fined, so the briefs were never used. Con-
nell told the court he usually kept a bunch
of this literature on hand for emergencies.
The Connell brief argues that contempt
proceedings and disbarment proceedings
are entirely separate and distinct. The
power Of a court to punish for contempt
committed In its presence is summary and
Inherent. The power to disbar an attorney
from practice is special and limited and
cannot be exercised except upon notice
and a hearing. The right Of the court, he
said, was limited to punishment by fine
or imprisonment in such cases. City At
torney Harry E. Burnam appeared with
Mr.. Connell and informed the court hat
Dunn was sorry it all happened and was
in the spirit to apologize and get right
with the judges.
That the procedure taken by Dunn did
not make a hit with the court was pain
fully apparent when Connell had finished
his plea. The motion asked the court to
vacate the order disbarring Dunn and then
after the order was annulled permit Dunn
to appear and apologize.
Chief Justice Reese asked Cornell IL ii
was necessary to file a written motion
and broadly intimated that in the opinion
Of the court the proper way would have
been for Mr.. Dunn to appear before the
court and apologize and then ask for the
annulling OF the order.
