COUNTY SEAT FIGHTS
(From a Staff Correspondent }

Lincoln. Neb., April l5.-(Special.)
Concurrence in the senate's amend
ments to the workmen's compensation
bill, house roll SIS, was voted by the
house today when it came back, and
the bill now goes to Governor Neville
for his signature. Mr.. Dorsey later
moved to reconsider this action, but
his motion failed.
In its completed form, the bill in
creases the weekly compensation
benefits from S. minimum and $40
maximum to Sc and $l2, and the total
amount in case of permanent disabil-
ity or loss of members from 50 per
cent to 90 per cent OF wages during
a specified period of weeks. The fea-
ture allowing an employe the option
of suing or accepting compensation, to
be exercised within six months after
the injury, has been eliminated.
County Seat Bill Passed.
1t looked for awhile as if Senator
Hager's bill relating to county seat
removal fights would lose out on third
reading, as it had only forty-eight
votes on the first roll call A call OF
the house was ordered. however, and
enough votes were added or changed
to make the total fifty-five. The mega
tive vote was thirty eight.
The Hager bill, as it passed the SEN
ate. provided that after one vote on
county seat location the question
should not be submitted again within
ten years. The house tackled on an
amendment allowing one submission
in any county before the ten-year
clause goes into effect
Municipal Utility Bill.
Another measure passed by the
house was senate file No. 81, allowing
cities and villages to buy or construct
electric light and waterworks plants
aud issue bonds therefor when S. per
cent of the people vote in favor of do
ing so. -
Bank Bill Held Up.
The house declined to accept the
conference committees report dealing
with State Treasurer Halls bill for
placing state funds on deposit with
banks offering the highest rates of in
terest. The committee was instructed
to consider the bill further and make
another report. The particular fea-
ture objected to by Mr.. Swanson, who
Offered the motion, was an amend
ment allowing bank to have on de-
posit state funds up to 80 per cent Of
its capital stock. The house had lim-
tied the amount to 20 per cent. The
senate conferees agreed to the house
amendment limiting the interest to 5
per cent

URIC ACID In YOUR FOOD
Maysville People Must Learn the Dan.
ger Of O Heavy Meat Diet

Even dogs can eat too much meat.
Certainly, many people dig their

Few get enough exercise to justify
meat more than once day.
Meat brings uric acid.
The kidneys try hard to get rid OF
that poison.
But often backache or some other

help.
The time-tried remedy, then. Is
Doan's Kidney Pills.
The remedy backed by Maysville

Mrs. w. A. Schatzmann, COS e. Sec
ond street, Maysville, says: From
the benefit have received from Doan's
Kidney Pills, which l buy at Chans-
lor's Drug Store, have every reason
to recommend them. Whenever my
kidneys have been irregular in action
or have suffered from weakness and
lameness In the small of my back, /
have used Doan's Kidney Pills. They
have always proven sufficient to quick
ly cure and attack"
Mrs. Schatzmann is only one OF
many Maysville people who have
gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney
Pills. If your back aches-if your
kidneys bother you, don't simply ask
for a kidney remedy-ask distinctly

Washington, October 4-The House
bill providing for tests of myster-
ious machine for utilizing free en-

gossian, an Armenian inventor from,
Boston, went to the Senate today and
|cengressmen enthusiastic over the

BY means of this invention, 1t is
asserted, the United States would be
able to drive battleship any dis
lance without stopping for fuel; pro-
pei an airplane around the world; en-
able an airplane to carry thousands
of pounds Of munitions and wear ar
NOR heavy enough to turn away anti
aircraft gun missiles; send torpedoes
at greater speed, and double the speed
of steam engines. Giragossian has
been working on his invention for the
greater part of 26 years and in Sc
cret tests convinced the House Com
mittee on Patents so that the bill au-
thorizing a demonstration quickly

The politicians who are using
the war to play the game of
breaking the organizations of
labor unions are wasting valuable
time and energy. The day or
ganized labor disintegrates, that
day the man who works for q
wage will be put in the class of
the serf of Europe and the peon
of Mexico. His rights will then
consist in a struggle for a bare
existence. There is no class of
organized labor that is working
for so small a wage as the unor-
ganized labor, and yet big en-
ployers are continually asserting
that labor unions decrease the
earning capacity of employees.

that under. present prices for
hogs the best bacon should retail
for "a to 36 cents g pound, but
what is the use telling us what
it ought to be unless the packing
houses sell the product to retail
ers at a figure so it can be retail
ed at the price set. When mer-
chants have to pay SOC or 55c a
pound for bacon they can hardly
sell it for 36c and make the
seventeen and a half cent profit
the food commission has decided
is the limit for retailers. If the
packers have been robbing the

summarilly set a decent price for
the product. instead of giving

The principal clause in one of
the war measures passed by the
recent Congress makes a provi-
sion that any person in the Unit
ed States found with explosives
in his possession after November
18th, who does not have a license
from the Federal government
showing the purpose for what
the explosives are to be used,
will be at once arrested and fin
ed up to $4,000 or sent to prison
for one year, or both fine and
imprisonment will be meted out
if circumstances warrant. The
law provides that every one who
handles explosives must have a
license. The seller and the pur-
chaser must both have licenses,
which will be issued by county
clerks or other local officers who
have authority to administer
oaths. Only citizens of the
United States or of the countries
friendly to the United States can
obtain licenses. With the strict
enforcement of the law the gov
ernment hopes to prevent ex-
plosives falling into the hands OF
evil-disposed people, and to put q
stop to all further dynamiting
plots.

Make Inventory Now.

Food Administrator Timothy
A. Riordan suggests that every
dealer in food stuffs will do we'll
to take an inventory at once, as
he will be required to give de-
tails of the condition of his busi-
ness on November 1st for SUBJ
mission to Washington Decem-
Der 1st. Proper forms will be
sent direct to applying dealers,
though at present they are not
available. An especially accu-
rate inventory must be made of
stocks that go into and out of
cold storage.
There must be no speculative
profits on food, and all unreason-
able profits will be checked.
There must be no delay in NOV
ing any commodity to the con-
sumer, something that will affect
materially past practices of hold
ing stuff in cold storage for a
higher market. Also there will
be limit, as far as practicable,
of contracts for future delivery.
1t is asked that all licensees give
full and voluntary support with
out necessity for resort to COM
pulsion. One additional rule is
that foods held in cold storage
for more than thirty days, shall
be so marked when offered for
sale. The producer who ships to
commission merchants will be
protected and the sale of dam
aged products, such as frozen
potatoes, is forbidden.
