WANT MANY MATTERS
IN EXTRA SESSION
Governor Neville Besieged on
All Sides to Include Ques-
tions in Forthcoming
Call.

Lincoln, Neb. 26.-(Special)-If
Governor Neville listens to the sup
plications of every one who appears
to think the cal for a special session
OF the legislature should include some
matter inwhich he is interested, may
last until the Fourth of July.
The main reason for calling spec
ial session i, for to enact law which
to give Nebraska men in the service
of the United States as soldiers
either in cantonement camps or in
France, right to vote at the coming
state election. Then the question
came up of adopting resolution
favortble to the national woman suff-
rage act passed by congress. Includ-
ing in this was also to be a call to
include national prohibition.
A little later it was suggested to
provide some way to keep aliens from
voting and now there is agitation that
the call include a repeal OF the Moe
kett law which permits teaching of
German and other foreign languages
in the public schools of the state.
AS far as calling of the extra ses-
sion is conserned the governor will
wait until the state supreme court
has passed on the constitutionality of
the provision of the law which pro-
kibits members of the regular army
from voting in this state. The ap-
plication has been made to the court
to advance the case and this will mean
that it will be settled very soon.
While some are asking the COVER
nor to hurry up the session before
spring work begins, he is of the opin-
ion that much time can be saved by
waiting and outlining program
which will give the members some
thing to go on. Should the session
be called before and foundation is
laid, the members might be forced
to be in session a week or more
before being able to come to any
satisfactory conclusion. But if the
governor is given time to look into
all the propositions and determins the
line of legislation needed the session
can meet and finish up its work in
less than a week.
While not giving out any hint when
the session may be convened, it is
thought it will be called toward the
last of March of the first of April.

for ten days. | have just finished
taking the first bottle and have sent
Mr.. O'Connor back to the store this
morning for another bottle. This
Tanlac certainly does just what you
say it will do. | began to eat better,
sleep better and feel better from the
very first dose, and the change in
my condition has just been wonder
ful. | had a good doctor before L
began using Tanlac, but he didn't
seem to understand my case, and
his medicine did not seem to do me
any good, so just set it aside and
quit using it.
For the past five or six years I
have been in rundown condition

dizzy. | had nervous headache and
indigestion perfectly awful. My stom-
ach was so weak couldn't digest the
lightest kind of food. | was nervous

is fine tonic, too, because my appe-
tite is good now and l digest what

days | would have thought them
crazy. .

CHAPTER XVIII.
The King Is Dead.

t Now at last the old kings hour had
come. Mostly he slept, as though his
body, eager for its long rest, had al
ready given up the struggle. Stimu-
lants, given by his devoted physician,
had no effect. Other physicians there
were, a group of them, but 1t was Doc
tor Weiderman who stood by the bed
and waited.
Father Gregory, his friend of many
years, had come again from Etzel, and
1t was he who had administered the
sacrament. The king had reused for
1t, and had smiled at the father.
"Soi" he said, almost In a whisper,
'you would send me clean! 1t is hard
to scour an old kettle"
Doctor Weiderman bent over the
bed. Majesty" he %implored, eff there

"Give me Hubert's picture" said the
king. When his fingers refused to hold
1t, Annunciata came forward swiftly
and held it before him. But his heavy
eyes closed. With more intuition than
might have been expected of her, the
arch6uchess laid 1t on the white cover
1et, and placed her fathers hand on
it.
The two sisters of mercy stood be-
side the bed, and looked down at the
quiet figure.
81 should wish to die So" whispered
the elder. "a long life, filed with
many deeds, and then to sleep away !"
"a long life, full of many sorrows |"
observed the younger one, her eyes
full of tears. "He has outlived all
that he loved"
Except the little Otto"
Their glances met, for even here
there was q question.
7 As if their thought had penetrated
the haze which is, perhaps, the mist
that hides from US the gates of heaven,
the old king opened his eyes.
"Ottol !" he said. "I-wishE"
Annunciata bent cver him. HE is
looming, father" she told him, with
white lips.
She slipped to her knees beside the
bed. and looked up to Doctor Weider-

could not be shown to them. There

Against the palace, therefore, their

little king turned to threats. The
archbishop had come out on the bal

The archbishop had raised his hands,
but had not obtained silence. Instead
