Statehood Bill
Scheduled tor
Present Session
Arizona and New Mexico Measure Due
for Hearing Along with
Railroad Bill,

WASHINGTON, March LIT became
known today that the Arizona and New
Mexico statehood bill will receive the at
tention OF congress before the closing OF
the present session. Senators Hale and
Bailey, speaking presumably for the side OF
the senate, agreed today on his point, but
their agreement did not go to the extent
OF guaranteeing the passage OF the bill.
The subject came up after the close OF
Senator Cummlns' speech on the railroad
bill. Mr.. Hale pointed out the Importance
Of keeping the railroad bill before the SEN
ate as constantly as possible because OF the
Importance Of leaving time for the discus
sion of such measures as the code bill and
the statehood bill, (which we must con-
'front.'" he said.
Mr.. Bailey replied that he would insist
that the statehood bill should have proper
attention.
II don't mean that we shall adjourn so
long as the statehood bill is on the calen-
dar," he said. THE people of Arizona and
New Mexico are entitled to admission, and
so far as It is in my power / mean to force
a final disposition OF the matter"
He proposed that the railroad bill should
be laid aside from time to time and the
statehood bill taken up, saying that under
such an he would guarantee
that there would be no delay in railroad
legislation. Mr.. Hale responded that as he
was not a member OF either OF the com
mittees having In charge the railroad and
the statehood bills, he could make no bind
ing agreement. His only purpose, he said
was to hasten the legislation now before
the senate. His appeal, therefore, was en-
tirely in the interest OF the railroad meas
ure.

DIVISIoNISTS GET NEW HOPE
Plan to Hold Convention I'm Grand
Island to Consider the
Situation.

GALLOWAY, Neb., March 19.-(Special)-
The burning of the Custer county court
house, the calling of a a special election
by the county board to vote a 5 mill levy
upon the taxpayers Of the county to re-
place the burned court house, the expendi-
ture Of several hundred dollars to hold this
election, at which the levy was decislvely
defeated owing TO the fact that the notice
calling the special election contained no
limit to the amount to be expended upon
the new structure, no plans nor specifica-
lions, and with the power in the hands of
the county board to levy an extra 8 mills
and still be within the legal limit, aroused
the Indignation Of the taxpayers, who are
taxed without representation owing to the
great distance they reside from the county
seat. Now that a second election upon the
same question is limited, the division
element of the county has decided to call
a convention, adopt lines and wage one
Of the greatest division fights ever waged
in this county.
Owing to the difficulties made necessary
by the distance having to be Travelled by
team by a large majority of the delegates

%vention be called for Broken Bow and the
hardships on man and team I'm making
a drive OF that kind, the conven-
ton is called TO meet at the Palmer
hotel in Grand Island at 10 O'Clock a. m, on
Wednesday, March 3d. The representation
will be based upon the vote cast against
the 5 mill levy at the late special election,
and upon this basis there win be sixty-four
delegates, with one delegate at large for
every Incorporated village or city in the
county. This viii total about ~seventy-five
delegates. While most OF the delegates will
be compelled TO travel a distance Of con-
siderable over q hundred miles 70 reach

WHAT'S THE USE
Sticking to a habit when Il Means

Old King Coffee knocks subjects out
toleraoly flat at times, and there is no
possible doubt of what did IT. A Michigan
woman gives her experience:
1 used to nave liver trouble nearly
all of the time and took medicine which
relieved me only for a little While. Then
every once in a while 1 would be sud
denly doubled up with an awful agony in
my stomach. 1t seemed as though every
time l took a breath / would die. Nc
one could suffer any more and live,
FINALLY 1 got down so sick with
catarrh of the stomach that / could not
turn over in bed, and my stomach did not
digest even milk, The doctor finally told
me that If l did not give up drinking
coffee l would surely die, but / felt
could not give it up.
However, Husband brought home a
package of Postum and II was made
strictly according to directions. 1t was
the only thing that would stay on my
stomach. and l soon got so l liked II
very much.
Gradually l began to get better, and
week by week gained in strength and
health. Now / am in perfect condition,
and am convinced that the whole cause
Of my trouble was coffee drinking, and
my getting better was due to leaving off
coffee and taking Postum.
"A short time ago l tasted some coffee
and found, TO my establishment, that ! did
not care anything about 1t. 1 never have
TO take medicine any more. ! hope you
will use this letter for the benefit OF
those suffering from the poisonous effects
of coffee"
