BRYAN ON THE NEW SENATE.
Says lnsursent Democrats Must Join
insureent Republicans.

Says lnsurgent Democrats Must Join
lnsursent Republicans.
Lincoln, March 2S.-Concerning the
reorganization Of the senate w. j.
Bryan said:
The democrats of the senate have
duty TO perform at the very opening
OF the extra session, namely: the re-
organization of that body. The demo-
Gratis are still in the minority but they
will have the selection of the various
committees and acting with the pro.
gressive republicans they can not on
ly secure increased representation on
the committees but they can make the
committees represent the sentiment
Of the senate. There are some stand
pat democrats in the senate whose
sympathies are with the standpat re-
publicans rather than with the pro-
gressive republicans but there are not
as many of these standpat democrats
as there were before the 4th OF
March, and there will probably not be
so many two years from now as there
are now.
licans are now in control Of the best
committee assignments and they may
expect to keep them in spite of the
fact that they no longer represent the
sentiment of majority in that body
1t seems likely to be a question of
seniority versus public interest-a
question of ambition against the vel
fare of the people 1t is not difficult
to determine which side TO take in
such controversy. 1t may flatter a
mans vanity to allow him TO misrep
resent his party or his country but il
is not democracy. Ii public officials
even senators-are public servants; il
they are selected to do for the people
what the people want done-then
there can be no question that commit
tees should be made up, not merely tc
pay personal compliments, but to carry
out the peoples will"

a Terrific EIoht.


Muskogee, Okla, March 20. - Jim
Flynn knocked out Al Mandino Of
Chattanooga. Tenn, in the fourth
round OF n scheduled ffteen.round
fight. Mandino was fioored four times
in the fourth round. The fight was
one OF the bitterest and most vicious
ever staged In this part OF the state.
The ring was covered with blood at
the end OF the first round, and the
head, shoulders and chest OF each man
was smeared crimson when the fight
ended.
Mandino was floored six times dur.
ing the four rounds. In the last round
Flynn chopped right to the jaw dur.
ing the inhghting and Mandino went
down. Three times he quickly sprung
to his feet, each time to be fioored.
He was apparently crazed by the
blows, the last time springing to his
feet with his back to Flynn. His sec
onds then threw the sponge into the
ring.

Hay Springs, Neb., March 27.-Spe.
cial to The News: Probably the larg.
est crowd that ever assembled under
one roof in Sheridan county met in
Guthrie's Auditorium, under the aus.
pices of the Sheridan County Booster
club. The first meeting OF this club
was held at Gordon just a week ago
and developed so much enthusiasm
and good will as to demand second
meeting In the sister town. One hun.
dred and seventy tickets were sold at
Gordon, and 172 at Rushville complete.
ly filling a special train which took
the visitors back at IL 80 p. m.
The meeting was called to order by
DR.. Mcdowell, president of the local
Commercial club, and the address of
welcome was ably delivered by Hon.
Charles Weston, response by Judge
Plantz of Rushville. The following
named gentlemen made able addresses
and held the closest attention of the
audience, which numbered over ZOO
people, until 10:45: Hon. w. H. West.

The motive of this organization was
not the suggestion Of any one man or

quest of the people Of Sheridan county
that we begin to realize the import
ance Of our own county, its wealth, its
products, its people and it's general
adaptability to furnish homes for many
hundreds OF families.

Farmers Sons Ought to Attend.

Elgln, NED, marCn "a. - EultOF
News: / was very much gratitied to-
ward your recent article urging the
young people of northeastern Nebras-
ka to take advantage of the agricul-
tural educational privileges which are
TO be enjoyed at the state university
and farm. Your remarks are very
timely, for certainly every young man
| and young woman who expects to-
make a permanent home upon tho
land should seek the necessary prep
aration to enable them to enjoy rural
life and get out of II the maximum
amount of personal happiness and ma
terial gain, and these not at the ex-
pense of the welfare of others, or by
selfishly exploiting the SOIL the fertil-
ity of which it should be their ambi-
ton TO conserve.
Recent years have made very plain
the absolute necessity of having such
a preparation as your article suggests.
These lovely and fertile lands of ours
in northeastern Nebraska have won"
derful potential ability to make one OF
the fairest and most productive OF ayr
ricultural districts, but to reach the
zenith of their possibilities, these
lands must be controlled and inhabit-
ed by an intelligent and careful peo-
pie, generously educated and specially
prepared to carry forward their bust
ness on the land, and which demands
so varied and accurate knowledge
of how to fit personal effort into the
machinery which nature is operating
and also to take advantage of the nu-
merous things which are incident to
rural surroundings and which have the
ability 70 expand largely that part Of
human life and experience we call per
sonal adaptation and happiness.
The school and college of agricul-
ture has had some very bright young
people from the northeastern part OF
our state, but as you intimate not SO
many as should have embraced the
opportunity to gain the education nee
essary to make them expert and eff
ficient agriculturalists, and / sincerely
hope that when these departments Of
the university open next fall we shall
see a much larger number of our
young folk, both from the eighth grade
and the high school entering either
the school or college Of agriculture.
1t is the avowed policy Of the chan
cellor and governing board, also the
faculty of the agricultural college, to
make these. departments of the uni
| versity as efficient as it is possible to
make them, for they we'll realize the
immense Importance it is to the state
to have a cultured and specially train
| ed young man or woman returned to
| the soil.
To make the most OF these splendid
lands of ours, we must have a proper
| ly educated population living upon
them.
Nature has been lavish with her
gifts to this portion Of the state, but
she demands intelligent personal eff
fort TO develop these gifts to their
| fullest usefulness.
1t is, therefore, matter of vital i'm
port to our state that the best provi-
sion possible shall be made to educate
our young people and that they take
] advantage Of the splendid opportuni-
ties to get the necessary education
which will enable them to obtain full
measure of beneficial results from
their life in the open country.

FOUND A NEW LANGUAGE.
Alsss indians Of Oregon Use Gender
In the Verb

Professor Lee Frachtenburg of the
Smithsonian institution at Washing
ton, who has just completed a study
of the Alsea tribe OF Indians in Lin
coin county and the Umpquas in Curry
county, Ore, says the Alseas have a
language distinct from the other fifty
seven bessie tongues OF the American
Indians.
>AIe says it is one OF the twelve
GNoWn languages using gender in the
verb--that is, the same action by a
male and female is designated by a
different term. This popularity is
shared by the language OF certain in
habitants Of northern Asia, those OF a
small section OF southern Asia and by
the katfirs of South Africa.

Planet Mars Next to Die.

and dried up worlds, Mars is rapidly
approaching state Of wrinkled old
age, and the earth is next In the pro-
cession headed toward the extinction
of all life, according to DR.. Percival
Lowell, head of Lowell observatory,
who recently addressed the New York
Electrical society.
Mars is certainly inhabited by some
character of organized life, DR.. Lowell
said, and the Martians have far greater
reason to deny that there is life on the
earth than we have that they exist.
DR.. Lowell was sure that there was
no life on any other planets besides
the earth and Mars, all other members
Of the solar system being either al
ready dried up, so that life, animal or
vegetable. cannot exist, or else, like
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune,
much too young liz world evolution and
therefore much too hot from interior
sources to admit Of life Of any kind.
Assuming the sun to be the source
as well as the center Of the solar sys-
| TEN. DR.. Lowell began at the outer
vast orbit, working inward. Jupiter
and Saturn, he said. are still actually
red hot. They were gradually cooling
| off, however, as the world Is now do
ing. Jupiter no longer shines, though
red hot, but its color, glimpsed now
and then through its clouds, Is bright
cherry red. and DR.. Lowell spoke of IT
as a huge baby Of world still in its
swaddling clothes.
City Smoke Affects Rainfall.
On Mars, he said, the clearing of the
| atmosphere, which had been going on
here since the paleozoic era, had reach
ed perfection. Man. indeed, he said.
| must be the source Of constant annoy
ance to an orderly Creator. for he was
constantly interfering with the natural
course of events. With city chimneys
always belching forth smoke and max
ing it rain, man, DR.. Lowell declared,
was responsible for more than half the
bad weather of which he complains.
On Mars the sky is perpetually clear
from morning till night and from
| spring to fall.
While the water on the earth was
slowly but surely disappearing through
| sublimation into the heavens and sink
| ing into the earth. on Mars the seas
had already disappeared, though there
| appeared 10 have been seas there ages
| ago.
In expressing his confidence in the
existence of organic life on Mars DR..
Lowell Said
| "Only self centered ignorance sus-
| tainS our self cOnceit that we are some
| thing peculiar in natures scheme.
| Our popularity consists in so think
ing. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Nep-
tune are too young yet; Venus and
| Mercury, though ostentatiously open,
| are too old 10 have anything to reveal.
| Only we and our next neighbor, Mars,
are in position 10 testify, and the
study Of those qualified TO give an
| opinion is emphatic as to the evidence
Of organic life there as here. though
the two are probably quite different.
at is certainly suggestive that Mar
tians could from the aspect OF the
earth make out a much more plausible
case for doubling the existence OF the
earthly doubters than these cna for
doubling them"
