Especial. Presidents of this town and
Dakota City near by, will combat the
action of the Chicago, St. Paul, Mime
polls & Omaha railway in refusing to
stop trains here and at Dakota City
for the accommodation of passengers
bound south. An appeal to the Ne
braska Railway commission will be
made. ~
Passengers enroute to and from
Sioux City, Ia, have been departing
from and boarding the trains here,
thus evading the 2H-cent fare law al
lowed in interstate commerce. Last
Sunday large number who had spent
the day in Sioux City departed on
the interurban line at Sioux City for
this place, thus saving the bridge toll
of rs cents and an additional toll of
5 cents for mileage. The Sioux City
interurban runs to the Omaha's South
Sioux City Station.
The passengers were amazed when
the $40 train rushed by the station
at ffteen-mile an hour clip and left
them to get home the best way posi-

Plan Reconsideration

(From a Staff Correspondent,

Lincoln, Nov. 29.-(Special)-
From all appearances it seems that
the so-called editorial highbrows"
who a couple of weeks ago georgian
lied" the Nebraska Press association,
are not satisfied with the work done
and it is under that President Clark
Perkins has called\ meeting Of the
executive committee for Grand Island
next Friday to go over the matter
again. j
Much opposition has developed
to the plan among newspapermen
who have been with the association
for many years and it is this opposi-
ton with a possibility that it may re-
suit in a new association which has
caused the executive committee to
sit up and take notice, according to
an old member of the association liv-
ing at Lincoln who has taken much
interest in the reconstruction of the
association under the new scheme.

DENIS CAST ABOUT
TO FIND LEADER
Question Whether Norton of
Polk Will Succeed to Posi-
ton Held Last Session.
SOME LIKELY TO REBEL

tFrom Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Nov. 2o.-(Special.)-lf
Representative ]. N. Norton of Polk
county desires again to be chosen
leader of the democratic house of rep
resentatives this winter, he is liably
to meet with opposition. y
"The democratic majority in the
coming legislature is not going to
recognize any man as its leader, who
was not true to the entire demo-
cratic ticket at the last election" said
one democratic member from out in
the state, and his statement was sec
onded vigorously by his companion.
1--WE have the goods on Mr.. Norton"
said the first speaker. I'VE are re-
liably informed that he fought two
. of the leading candidates on the
democratic ticket in the election and
for that reason he cannot expect to
pose as a true, blue democrat and act
as leader"
Plan To Get Even.
According to the gentlemen, none
but the true and. brave may wear
democratic spurs of leadership and in
this statement they say they have the
support of many of the leaders of the
last session, who several times
CRASHED their teeth in silence when
the Gentleman from Polk" took the
legislative bull by the horns and
forced compliance to his demands.
The list of returning democratic
statesmen contains many who would
doubtless like to have the mantle of
leadership thrust upon them even if
they have to fight for it Richmond
of Douglas has had lots of experience
and would probably make a good
leader, while Taylor of Custer, if he
could curb his intense personal feel
ings, might wear the crown with
much pomp and glory. >
Numbers of Others.
]. J. McAllitser of Dakota county,
with his strong voice and fighting
spirit, might consent to take on the
duties of leadship, while Dick Regain
of Platte, the Irish patriot could
command lots of respect as leader.
Soren Fries of Howard, who will
serve his seventh consecutive term
and has been the author of many
very meritorious little measures"
would look good as leader, although
he might not be willing to give up
his usual place as chairman of the
committee on roads and the claims
committee. .
JHA. Oils OF Ord is another man
who has had much legislative exper-
fence and has qualities of leadership,
which will bear inspection, while
former Speaker George Jackson is
very popular man. However, Mr..

suit of series of tornadoes that swept
through ten or more counties in Ark
ansaS late yesterday All means of

pied and early today details of the

was feared the list of dead and in
jured would be greatly increased with

ed, But This Is Denied-Re-
volters May Accept New Head

PEKING, June 6.-Yuan Shi Kai.
President of the Chinese Republic,
died today. Premier Tuan Chi-Jui i'm
mediately advised Lii Yuan Hung, the
vice president, of his succession to the
presidency.
Yuan Shi-Kai had been i'll for sew
eral days with stomach trouble which
was followed by a nervous break
down
Quiet prevails today in the cap
ital. The leath of the president
apparently solves the heated politi-
cal crisis. Ii Yuan Hung's success
sion to the presidency meets the de
mands of the leaders in the southern
provinces.
Yuan Shi-Kai was reported to have
been taken seriously i'll on May 2S. At
that time dispatches from China said
it was believed in Peking that the
president had been poisoned but this
report was deniel Ly the, Chinese am
bassador at Washington, who insisted
the president was not even ill.
Yuan Shi-Kai died while ia storm
of revolution was gathering in increas-
ing strength. The revolt broke out in
December. 1915, when the president
announced his intention of establish
ing a monarchy and ascending the
throne as the first emperor of a new
dynasty. His coronation was set for
early in February of this year but
was postponed indefinitely owing to
the extraordinary rapidity with which
the revolt spread through Southern
China. Several attempts were made
upon the presidents life and bomb
plot was discovered in the imperial
palace.
The establishing OF monarchy was
strenuously opposed by Japan and it's
final abandonment was largely cred
tied to the representations made by
Toxic.
The revolt progressed, however and
in March the governors of the Chi
nese provinces demanded the resigna-
ton of the president In May the
provinces of Shansi and Shantung an
nounced their independence and pro
visional government was established
by generals commanding the revolu-
tionary forces in the South. President
Yuan Shi-Kai announced on May 2G
his intention to resign when suit
able successor was chosen. II was
reported that the president intended
to take refuge in Japan.

FORT VAUX GETS
ROUGH HANDLING
GERMANS MAKE DESPERATE At
TEMPTS TO CAPTURE
STRONG POSITIONS.

PARIS, June 6.-Fort VauX con
tinues to be the center of German
efforts near Verdun but the French
still hold the main fort and all ap
proaches except the northern moat
in which the Germans gained lodg
ment several days ago.
The Germans are bringing up
masses of reinforcements through
the ravines, between Vaux and Dam
loup. Although two infantry attacks
were made yesterday they lacked the
intensity of the previous rushes The
conclusion is drawn that the heavy
recent losses of the Germans are
compelling them to proceed less Wig
orously while they are reforming
their units.
Two attacks by the Germans on
the French lines between Fort Vaux
and Damloup, on the Verdun front,
were repulsed by the French last
night, according to an official state
ment issued by the war office today.
The heavy bombardment of Fort
Vaux continues with intermittent
cannonading on the west front.
The statement follows:
"On the right bank of the river
Meuse two German attacks last night
against our positions between Vaux
and Damloup resulted in complete
failure
mo change has been recorded into
the situation at Fort Vaux, which
the enemy is bombarding with vio-
lence
There has been continued inter
mittent cannonading on the remain
der of the front"

Lord Kitchener.
After newspapers this morning an
nounced the death of Lord Kitchener
the crowd in front of the war office
grew so large police reserves were
called out
Born in 1850.
Earl Kitchener was born June "a.
1850, in County Kerry, Ireland, fact
that gave rise to a general belief that
he was of Irish blood, but his parents
were of French and English descent.
His father was soldier, but of no
very high rank. He had managed to
! climb to the lieutenant-c -colonelcy of
a dragon regiment, when he retired
to the estate in Ireland where Hora-
ton Herbert Kitchener, was born.
Young Kitchener received his funda-
| mental military education at Wool
wich. On graduating he received a
commission in the Royal Engineers,
but when not yet 21 years of age he
attached himself to a French army in
the Franco-Prussian war.
In 1874 when British expedition
was sent out to survey Western Pal
estine Kitchener was one of the Gag
er volunteers accepted for this serv-
ice. 1t was his first step on the path
that was to lead him eventually to
Khartum. Trouble was already brew
ing in the Sudan. Hearing that the
Egyptian army was being organized
by Sir Evelyn Wood, young Kitchener
saw his opportunity with unerring
instinct and lost no time in Offering
his services. AS an intelligence off
Ger Kitchener accompanied Sir Her
bert Stewards desert column on that
heroic but disastrous enterprise
known as the Gordon Relief Expedi-
t1on-the relief of General Gordon
from Khartum where he had been en-
tangled during the evacuation of the
Sudan. In 1866 he became governor
of the Red Sea territories and set in
motion series of raids on the notori-
Gus Osman Digna, the dervish leader.
BY this time much was heard in
England of Kitchener's work in Egypt
and when he returned there for
short rest he was received with hon
or and nominated aide-de-camp of
Queen Victoria. With his health re-
cruited, he went back to Egypt. where
on the resignation of Sir Francis Gren-
fell, he was appointed Sirdar (com-
mander) of the Egyptian army. His
really great career dates from that
time
For his truimphs in the Sudan he
was raised to the peerage as Baron
Kitchener of Khartum, and received
the thanks of Parliament and grant
og S150,000. Shortly afterward he was
promoted acknowledgement and then
chief of staff to Lord Roberts in the
South African war, and on return of
Lord Roberts to England in Novem-
Der, 1909. succeeded him as command
er-ln-chief in that field. By con-
structlng a three thousand and five
hundred mile chain of block houses he
Stopped the Boer raids and virtually
ended the war in South Africa. This
added to his popularity and prestige
at home and he was rewarded by the
title OF Viscount. promotion to the
rank of general for distinguished SER
vices, the thanks of the Parliament
and a grant of $250,000.
