HOUSE DEFEATS
Equal SUFFRAGE

Washington, Jan. 13.-The house OF
representatives, by vote of 2O4 to
174, refused to submit to the states an
amendment to the federal constitution
to enfranchise women.
A tWo-thirds affirmative vote was
necessary to pass the Mondell resolu-
ton; it was defeated by majority Of
thirty.
The vote, the second in the history
of congress on the woman suffrage
issue, came at the close of day of
oratory, during which the many speak
ers were listened to with frequent evi-
dences of approval or disapproval by
packed galleries.
Party lines were not strictly drawn
in the fight, though Democratic Lead
er Underwood, voicing the attitude of
his party that suffrage is state issue,
strongly opposed the resolution, while
Republican Leader Mann was one OF
the chief speakers of the suffragists.

Of State LEGISLATURE.

Measure introduced in Upper House
Of State Legislature.
A drastic prohibition bill has been
introduced in the upper branch Of the
legislature by Senator E. e. Lobeck
Of Douglas county, ono Of tho state
prohibition leaders.
The bill would prohibit the adver-
tising, manufacture, sale, barter, gift
or transportation of alcoholic liquors
for purpose of beverage. 1t applies
the same principle of abatement to
the traffic that the Wallace-Fosseen
law does to resorts.
The bill seeks to make it the duty
OF the sheriff to watch for violations
and place his findings before the coun-
ty attorney, who must then proceed
to abate the nuisance. The owner of
property is made liable to a fine Of
from $3.50 to $1,000.
Persons selling or giving away in
toxicating liquors are subject to i'm
prfsonment for ninety days under pro-
visions of the bill.

Hired Man Turns Thief.


Sam Gronberg's hired man skipped
out last Sunday night attired in a
complete change of clothes made up
from two of his employers good suits,
leaving his own wearing apparel in
exchange for them. While Mr.. and
Mrs. Gronberg we're at church he had
taken the opportunity to ransack the
house, evidently in search for money
and other valuables. When they re-
turned home they found things in a
very much disturbed condition and an
examination revealed the loss of a
number of articles, but the thief had
been unsuccessful in securing any
money. Among the articles missed
were a brand new pair of felt shoes
as we'll as overshoes, half dozen ties
and fountain pen that were Christ
mas gifts, some handkerchiefs and
couple of necktie pins. He had brok-
en- into tin box containing valuable
papers and also broken all the locks
of bureau, besides damaging other
property in his hasty search.
Sheriff Bonde was notified late the
same night in regard to the theft and
search was instituted for the miss
ing culprit. Telephone messages re-
suited in tracing him to Lake Eliza
beth, parties reporting that they had
seen man in that country answering
the description given. He was about

Estimate Of Quake
Victims Crows,
CASUALTIES PLACED
AT $4,000 TO $4,000
Nearly One Hundred Towns and
Villages Suffer.

Rome, Jan. 16-From $4,000 to 50,.
900 still remains the unofficial estt-
mate Of the casualties resulting from
the earthquake which rocked Southern
and Central Italy early Wednesday
morning
The amount of damage done cannot
yet be determined from the meager
descriptions of the catastrophe that
have reached Rome over the hamper
ed lines Of communication.
Such details as have come through
leave no doubt, however, that nearly
100 towns and villages have been Ut
terly demolished or partly wrecked
and that great loss of life resulted.
Thousands of persons now have lain
for nearly three days beneath
crumbled buildings throughout the
earthquake zone.
Some are dead, while others still
are living. Many have been removed
from the wreckage and brought to
Rome hospitals for treatment or are
being cared for in their home towns
IN temporary structures presided over
by physicians and nurses rushed from
the capital and other cities in Italy.
1t is believed many of those caught
In the wreckage were not injured, but
perished from cold and hunger or
were incinerated in fires which broke
out amid the ruins.
No Water to Quench Fires.
The number burned probably was
largest at Avezzano and Magliano-di-
Marsi, where fires started and there
was no water to quench them.
Avezzano apparently suffered most
from the disaster. Ten thousand per-
sons in that district are said to have
perished and the entire town has been
leveled.
Sora and Pescini each has 1000
dead, while the fatalities at Giosimar-
ST reached $500 and at San Benedetto
5000.
Numerous other towns report a
death toll running from ten to more
than two thousand
In the stricken districts the people
are camping in the open. Troops are
guarding the demolished towns to
prevent looting.
Caste distinctions everywhere have
been laid aside and members of the
nobility, senators, deputies and high
officials are working shoulder to shoul-
der with private soldiers and labor
ers in their efforts to rescue the living
or remove the bodies of the dead.
A phase of the political situation in
the kingdom resulting from the earth
quake is that the call for conscripts in
the damaged zone has been rescinded
by the military authorities.

DRAINAGE BOARD NEEDS AID

Governor Urges an Emergency Appro-
priation of $4,000.
In a special message to the legisla-
ture Governor Hammond recommended
that an emergency appropriation of
$4,000 be made for the state drainage
commission to pay for publishing the
commissions annual report and for
salaries and other expenses in the
department up to April 1.
Governor Hammond transmitted a
letter from E. v. Willard, engineer of
the commission, showing that on Dec.
28 the commission had but $551.75. He
estimated that the expense of publish
ing the report, salaries and other Of
fee expenses up to April 1 woud be
$2.475.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beauttful-Get Is cent bottle
Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty Of your hair, besides it imme-
dtately d1ssolves every particle of
dandruf. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair If you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair Of its lustre, it's strength and
its very life, and If not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25.cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.

London, Jan. 16.-The battlefield to
the northeast of scissors, where
fierce engagement has been in prog
ress for several days, remains the
center Of interest in the western thea
ter of war.
Here the Germans appear to have
gained important successes, retaking
ground from the French by furious
fighting.
Some idea of the nature of this con-
test may be gained from the latest
German official statement, which says
that as a result Of three days fighting
the French have suffered heavy losses,
between 1000 and 5000 dead French
soldiers being found on the battlefield
and about 5000 having been taken
prisoners.
The Germans also claim to have
captured fourteen cannon and six ma
chine guns.
Important British gains are reported
near La Bassee and the Germans have
lost some trenches to Zouaves in the
region of Arras, according to a French
Official report.
Along the rest of the front, while at
tacks have been made by both sides,
there appear to have been no decisive
engagements.
Russian Armies Are Active,
In the east the Russians are &C.
lively pushing their campaigns in East
Prussia and in Northern Russian Po-
land, although no decisive conflicts
are reported from those districts
Petrograd reports that the Germans
failed in some unimportant attacks on
the Russian advanced columns in the
region of Loetzen, East Prussia, and
retreated after having suffered heavy
losses.
The Russians claim that on Thurs
day they continued to advance in the
region of the Skiawa river, Northern
Poland, driving before them a force
of German cavalry, which was sup
ported by small bodies of infantry.
The Germans fell back under the Rus
sian pressure.
In Southern Russian Poland there
has been lull in the fighting, accord
ing to an Austrian official report, but
a violent artillery duel has been
waged along the Dunajec river in
Galicia. The outcome of the battle. It
it has been completed, has not been
announced, but the Austrians claim
to have silenced several of the Rus
slams heavy batteries.
In the Carpathians the increasing
frost is adding to the difficulties of
operations and comparative calm pre-
walls there.
