REPUBLICANS
OF LOWER HOUSE
LEARN LESSON
Democrats to Give Impression
That Politics Was Ad-
iOurned Early in
Session.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb,. Feb. l1.-Republi-
cans in the lower mouse of the iegis-
iative assembly are learning by the
painful process>of a betrayal of con-
fdence, to beware of the Greeks
bearing gifts"
Early in the session the demo-
cratic minority sought to lull the
representatives of the GO. p. the
bulk of whom were new members,
comparative tyros in the art of par
lamentary practice and procedure,
into the belief that the minority
would subscribe to the sentiment
that politics was adjourned and
they would lend their efforts to the
passage of the constructive laws.
Their words were so fair and for
time their actions were so consis-
tent that the republicans became
somnolent in their sense of security.
One of the first attempts to play
politics came when Jacobson intro
duced his resolution in the house to
destroy all foreign language books
of an Objectionable nature in the
possession of the state Librarian.
The impression sought to be con-
veyed by the resolution was that
there was a large number of these
books and they had been allowed to
circulate freely, when the fact was
that there was not over p of them
and they had been withdrawn from.
circulation a long time before.
Second Attempt.
Again Jacobson attempted to play
politics the second time. He is CON
ceded to be the democratic leader
and with the assistance of couple
of newspaper men representing
democratic papers they plotted to
create a schism among the majority
and place a part of the republican
party on record against the platform
pledges of the party, as we'll as in
open opposition to Governor Nc
Ke1vie.
This opportunity presented itself
when House Roll 205. bill appro-
priating $4,000 as an emergency
fund to help prohibition enforce
ment, came up for third reading.
A motion to recomnit the bill for
amendment was written by Jacob
son, who selected Anderson of Butt
Ter, republican, to be the goat and
the latter, in his innocence, submit
ted the motion. Jeary of Lancaster
scented the plot and asked that the
author of the motion and not the
introducer explain its purport.
Rises to Bait.
Jacobson arose to the bait and
swallowed it. hook, sinker, line and
all. He attempted to prejudice the
bill by the personalities he injected
in regard to Gus Hyers, chief en-
forcement officer of the prohibitory
law, and by this method get the
whole measure in bad odor with as
large a number of the republican
members as possible.s
J Despite the cries from other mem
bers of the house from the floor
that he confne his remarks to the
motion, and despite the call of
members for the enforcement of
the rules of the house, Speaker Dali
hey did not attempt to choke off the
democratic spokesman until COM
PEELED to do so by the insistence of
some of the members that he en-
force the rules.

amending the rules so that under

In explaining this new interpreta-
ton to the house today he asked
that the members not take advan-
tage of it to delay or block legisla-

This rule permitted the demo-
cratic minority, led by Jacobson, to
renew demand for a specific amend

came Up for third reading and pas
sage this morning. The amendment
of yesterday called for the reduc-
ton of the emergency appropriation

to the lack Of leadership among the

Republican members of the house
admit the charge is true and they
glory in the fact. They say they
are proud that there is no Prince
Arthur, of commanding presence
and swarthy mien, to pull the
strings and make them act as pup

suit.
Republican members of the house
say they are happy in the knowl-
edge that they can do their own
thinking, vote along independent
lines, act according to the merits of
any measure that comes up and
there is neither a plunderbund or a
political oligarchy with its commun-
ity self-interest seeking or attempt

Evening Gown Trimmings.
When one enters the realm Of
fabrics and trimmings which are only
suitable for evening gowns the variety
is so bewildering that it is hard to
know where to begin and quite i'm
possible to know when to stop.
Perhaps 1t is as well to only touch
in passing on the sequined and beaded
landings, the jeweled passementeries
and girdles, the exquisite laces threaded
with gold and silver and all the other
luxurious trimmings and dwell with
most weight upon the charming new
tricks which evening frocks take upon
themselves in these days.
The fashion of cutting the fabric
into deep scallops or vandykes and
mounting these in gathers or fine
plaits on a narrow skirt is new and
pretty one. They are intended to rep
resent flower petals and handmade
flowers Of silk are an all but indis-
pensable adjunct to the modish eve
ming frock.

In the French Collections

In the French collections, one sees
an occasional model which possesses

band Of fox but Oh the whole the
furs used for trimming either duve-
tyn or satin frocks are the short
haired furs such as Persian lamb,
squirrel or kolinsky and these In mar
row bands are used for edgings or are
set on the fabrics in many lines, close
together. Often, hanging tabs of the
fabric at the neck or girdle terminate
In small fur balls.
Narrow bands of brightly striped
silk are used to relieve the neck and
sleeves of sober frock and we find
again in one of the best French models
the pleasing fashion of finishing a
navy blue serge frock with sash Of
Roman striped ribbon.
Ribbons should have whole chap
ter devoted to their beauty and their
many uses, which range from nose
gays to entire frocks. But there is
only space to mention the enormously

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Besi

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1T is that so many products that are cx
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for III
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kllmer & Co., Binghamton, N T.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

Braids and Fur
Bands on Gowns

The question of trimmings is always
an interesting one and the present
models are not lacking in valuable
suggestions, though the French and
American designers are not always In
accord on this point as is the case on
a number of others, observes proml-
nent fashion correspondent.
While embroidery Is still one of the
chief standbys of the American maker
it appears to be distinctly on the wane
with the French. Both are agreed
that trimmings for daytime frocks
shall be confined to bindings, braid
and bands of fur though the French
makers have penchant for trimmings
of buttons which is shared in only
to limited extent by the Americans.
Plaitings of all sorts are new and
very much in evidence, whether used
as trimmings in the shape of narrow
frills, or as feature of the frock
itself Shirring and cording in groups,
narrow belts and girdles, double and
cut wool fringe, ribbon and fringed
silk all do their part toward lending
an unwonted variety to trimmings.
For evening frocks, which have this
season blossomed in such picturesque
beauty, the trimmings are brilliant
and luxurious to a degree which for
tunately always, or nearly always,
escapes the garish, and strongly sug-
ness.
AS has been said, embroidery is still
very favorably considered by the
American designer. This may be be-
cause he finds his clientele loath to
part with the simple straight line
frock, on which embroidery is at it's
best. Embroidery, in fact, might more
justly be called a decoration than a
trimming. because it is imposed on

known to the needle woman, such as
single stitch, over-and-over stitch,
COUGHING, buttonholing and French
knots.
Embroidery floss, wool yarns, che
Mile and gold and silver threads are
used to work out the patterns and, of
course, beads, which, however, are
used with admirable restraint when
they are combined with the various
threads.
An exceedingly handsome trimming
is displayed on a brown velvet gown
of utmost severity except for the long
straight tunic of brown georgette,
which is hemmed and completely COW
cred by bold design.
Tassels and Rosettes.
A blue serge frock has bands of
fancy black braid, crossing the front
horizontally and caught at intervals
by tiny tassels. On another frock of
black velvet there are many Pierrot
rosettes of narrow black braid.
A quite new note, fringed ribbon
and frlnged SILK, is not reserved Tor
it's obvious use as trimming on silken
evening gowns and wraps, but Is met
with in strange company.
For instance, there is an attractive
little frock of blue duvetyn with
slightly fitted bodice cut in the Span
ish manner, which rounds back and
front below the waist line, and a
straight narrow skirt
To give the modish width about the
hips of this frock, a series of crisp
taffeta flounces have been placed one
above the other. extending from the
bodice line to the knee.
Each flounce is fringed at the edge
and line Of bright brocaded flowers
runs through its center.

"But this story goes that the people

they would beg them TO go away, for
they believed that when the Seaguls

"They said that when the Seagulls
were on the coast. flying or resting
over or on the beach then the weather
would be good, and as they liked fine
weather they liked TO see the Seagulls
