So sudden have been the shifts in the
past few weeks that Joe steeher has

shortly announce his retirement from
the game. The Nebraskan sustained
three defeats IN two weeks recently,
when ne lost a decision to Wladek
Zbyszko in Sioux City. then was
thrown by Stranger Lewis in Chica-

PROMINENT PARIS MAN MEETS
WITH ACCIDENT.
(jan14-tf)

Mr.. l.. d. Harris, aged sixty-two,
senior member of the real estate firm
of Harris & Speakes, of Paris, met
with an unfortunate accident SUNDAY
afternoon, in which he sustained a
compound fracture of the bones OF
his right leg just above the ankle:
Mr.. Harris, finding the big build
ing crowded to the doors, went to
the stage entrance, as did many
others, and, in making his way
along the stage in the dark, made
misstep. and fell down the stairs
leading from the stage to the base
ment, a distance of probably twenty
feet. His groans attracted the at
tention of several who were standing
near. Mr.. Harris was carried to the
stage where an examination revealed
a fracture of the right leg. He was
removed to his home on Walker ave-
nue.. where the injured member was
given medical attention.

Early risers Saturday morning had
visions of the returning days OF
early spring when they saw the tops

damage was done to fruit by the
frost, as the season and the buds are
well advanced.
Mr. H. F. Hillenmyer, the Lexing

expressed the opinion that the fruit
was safe. 'If the fruit escapes the
recent cold spell and the recent
frosts i am sure that no harm will
have been done. We have a finer
prospect for large quantities of good
fruit than we have had for several
years. This is not blackberry win

The Common Sense of It.

IFS Governor McKelvie is said to be canvass
ing the members of the legislature with the
view of calling special session for the rati-
fication of the woman suffrage amendment
When such session and its additional expenses
will be instrumental in bringing about the
actual ratification throughout the country,
that additional expense may be justified But
the public cannot expect recession from the
present unhealthy economic conditions until it
begins to retrench and reduce costs-including
unnecessary costs in government-Grand
Island Independent
This is the common sense of it. If anything
were to be gained by calling the legislature
into special session to ratify the suffrage amend
ment it would devolve upon Us to consider
whether the gain warranted the cost So far as
can be yet seen no assurance is to be had that
Nebraska's vote for ratification would send suf-
frage over the line. Governor McKelvie is right
therefore in first seeking to find out what other
states are doing. To spend ten or twenty thou
sand dollars just for the fun of being among the
early ones and then find other states holding
back needed votes until after their own 1egis-
lature would naturally convene in regular ses-
sion would be more creditable to our intentions
than to our judgment.
