ONE DEMOCRAT SACRIFICED ftlenVber of House Who Incurred Displeasure of . Secretary of State in Postoffice Squabbje Re tired to Private Ufe. UNCOIL, Neb.. Dec 20. (Special.) Although William Jennings Bryan lias had his way in the appointment .of the man he wanted as postmaster of Lincoln, and Senator Hitchcock has announced he will not oppose confirma tion, this does not mean the patronage feud between the Secretary and Sena tor Is over. In fact, observing Demo crats say, it is to be waged more fiercely than ever. Francis W. Brown, the new Lincoln (postmaster. Is a personal friend of Kenator Hitchcock, as well as of Mr. JBryan. His selection was a recess ap pointment, made necessary because Mr. Hitchcock, complying with the request at Representative Magulre, of the Lin coln district, held up the nomination during the closing days of the last ses sion of Congress, Bryan Defeats Democrat. It was unfortunate for Mr. Magulre that he had another candidate than Mr. Brown for the Lincoln office, because the fact that he opposed Mr. Bryan cost him a re-election. He was beaten by a lew votes by C. F. Reavis, the Re publican candidate, for no other rea son. Democrats of the district say, than that he opposed the will of Mr. Bryan. Place-hunters back from Washington cay the Bryan-Hitchcock feud may noon come to a head in a manner not expected. As a result of the November election the Republican Representative in the Fifth District, Silas R. Barton, Jias been retired in favor of ex-Governor Shellenberger. Senator Hitchcock told Mr. Shellenberger he would turn (over to him the patronage of the dis trict. This was pleasing news to Mr. Shellenberger, and he set about mak ing recommendations. Charles Mast Be Consulted. Then it wa Mr. Shellenberger's turn to get a shock. He was told in effect that Mr. Bryan had never surrendered his asserted right to figure in the Fifth District and that his brother, Charles W. Bryan, of Lincoln, must be con sulted on questions of appointment Mr. Shellenberger and the Bryans are friendly enough, but the word has gone forth from the Hitchcock camp, accord ing to report, that if SecretarysSjBryan or his brother attempt to dictate a single appointment not agreeable to him there will be no confirmation by tha &enatfl.

Wash ington, Dec. 20. The Secretary of Ag riculture, after conference with Rep resentative Hawley, has recommended that an appropriation be made in the agricultural bill this session to enable the Department of Agriculture to make field Investigations in Washington. Marion and other counties in the Wil lamette Valley, to determine methods of eradicating what is known as the "clover borer." This insect has been chewing Its way Into the roots and stalks of clover in various parts of Western Oregon and has destroyed many clover fields and killed off large patches in other fields that were not completely destroyed. The ravages of this Insect, unless checked, will cost the farmers oi the valley counties thousands of dollars and greatly reduce the forage crop. Repre sentative Hawley is a member of tho committee on agriculture and, backed by the Secretary's recommendation, ex pects to get the necessary appropriation to combat the clover borer. Toothbrush Use Boosted. L. R. Alderman, superintendent of the public schools of Portland, has ac cepted the chairmanship of the Oregon Auxiliary to the National Mouth Hy giene Association, and through this or ganization contemplates a state-wide educational movement in mouth hygiene for the prevention of disease. Mr. Alderman was made temporary chair man and Dr. Arthur W. Chance secretary-treasurer at a meeting held last week, both officers to become perma nent at a meeting to be held January 19 to complete the permanent organiza tion. Dr. Manion, medical inspector of the Portland schools, declares that in the Buckman School, where a toothbrush drill ia maintained, the children make 100 per cent better physical showing than pupils of other schools. The Oregon auxiliary will be a state wide organization, including in Its membership all persons who are inter ested in the prevention of disease by educating children and the public at large in the care of the mouth and teeth. In Holland the fastest trains make only 40 miles an hour. The ground ls Inclined to be soft and yleldlns, wherefore it is un safe to use very heavy engines drawing trains at a hish speed.
