-i FWrvlew Farm, Lincoln, Neb . July
. j 14. The national Democratic committee
today adopted the suggestion of WHltum
! .T Iru. that tha wr.mAlll.l attendinC
hi notification of Hie presidential noml
Z cation be held at Fain lew farm on
August 12.
It WM determined that the notiflca-
tion of John W. Kern of the vice-presl-
dentl&l nomination shall take place In
. e Indianapolis at a date vet to be fixed.
Bryan addressed the committee on the
J subject of the contribution clause of the
campaign, saying that he an.d Kern wer)
In sympathy with the pledge. In part
he said:
. " , , 'Via It la our earnest desire for the
. I party to make good the pledge, we ask
a you to put the plank into immediate
operation. This can be accomplished by
the adoption by vour committee or a
2 resolution providing that the committee
will not aocept any contribution what-
aver from any corporation; that the
committee will not accept any contribu
" tion from any Individual in excess of a
" reasonable amount, and that the com-
mlttee shall make public before the elec-
tion all contributions abova a reason
" able minimum.
V . it l ,1 a.m.r innrnril Of
4 110,000 as the maximum sum to be ac
. eepted and 1100 aa the minimum to be
published:
1 "I would suggest that on or before
" October 16 all contributions of more
than 1100 received up to that time be
! published and that after that date all
Z uch contributions be published on the
day they are received. It wouH be well
- not to receive any contribution of more
than 1100 within three days of the elec-
5 tion' , ,
. Tha mmmlitM thereuDon adopted a
resolution embodying the suggestions of
Bryan. .
? T The question of the selection of offl
Jeers for the national committee, upon
motion of Hall of Nebraska, was left to
a subcommittee to be composed of the
I following members. Taggart, Hall.
Mack. Osborn. Greene, Ryan, Daniels,
Wade and Tomlinson.
' On motion of Cummins, It was decided
that a full statement of the campaign
Z expenditures shall be published within
a reasonable time after the election, not
to exceed 30 days.
5 After this . the committee adjourned
.'for luncheon. '

Now that a new courthouse In a pos
sibility of the near future, I H Ik is belli
heard that the east side will lav claim
to the location for the new building.
East siders have for rami time argued
that they are entitled to the prestige
that comes from the location of some
of the public Institutions. With the
balance of population constantly grow
ing In favor of the euat slue, this argu
ment Is likely to be applied to the courthouse
Against this idea the west side will
the fact trim the offices of tne
era are niostlv on the west awe mil
that :t would be nn unnatural thing to
put the courthouse on the east Kids of
the river. The fact that the city nlready
owns a fine block only two blocks dis
tant from the cltv hail l alsy cited, the
tendencv In mnnv places being to group
the cltv anil county buildings as fir us
possible.
If tne mutter were to come to n
showdown under the referendum there
filace
a w y e
la no question but that the east aid
would have the votes to locate the
courthouse aa It pleased, If Its vote were
anything like united. At the June elec
tion the total vote of the east side was
13,678 and of the west side .786.
a majority of 3,780. The county vote
footed up 1,977. and a large slice of this
Is likely to be rh the city before long,
adding to the preponderance of the east
side.
It Is not likely, however that the eaat
side will be agreed on where the struc
ture should be, if located on that side
of the river. The vicinity of East Mor
rison and Grand avenue la most freely
mentioned thus far aa a central location
where all elements might, meet.
Discussion In the last rew days of a
plan for a new building appears to
focal lie on a tax levy for two succes
sive years. One mill levy each year
will provide 1500.000 in round figures,
which It is thought would be enough
to provide a creditable structure of the
steel frame type. This would not Im
pose a heavy burden on the taxpayer,
divided between two years.

EXTEND FIRE LIMITS IN
SUPPORT OF DOBSON
The Initial move to extend the fire
limits on the east aide and at the same
time back up Building Inspector Dobson
in his fight against any violation of
this ordinance, was made this after
noon when members of the East Side
Business Men's club asked Mr. Dobson
to recommend to the city council that
certain fire limits be extended.
The limits now only reach to 100
feet south of Hawthorne avenue and the
east side club members want It ex
tended to Clay street and to the middle
line of East Sixth street. Where the
limit now onlv reaches to 90 feet east
of-Grand avenue ttiey want It extended
to the north side of Couoh street.
The dlstrlot on the east side bounded
by East Second street, the river, Oak
and Couch streets, now outside the fire
limits, is also Included to come wlthl
the fire limit jurisdiction, according to
the request made to Air. Dobson thl
afternoon.
The agitation Is said to have been
started as the result of the erection o
a frame building by Senator Nottlng
nam ana in tne errorts or tne club mem
bers to back up the building inspector
who lias oeen opposed to the action tak
en by Nottingham.
Mr. Dobson and V. C. Dunning, ren
resenting the club members, will visit
the proposed districts this afternoon.
and If Mr. Dobson sees fit he will later
make a recommendation to the council
that the request of the business men of
the east side be granted.

drinks some of the water and throw
the remained on the cup In the lnk.
Or perhaps the child may gargle his

That the cups are largely responsible
for the spread of diphtheria was clearly
proven by the records of the Hawthorne
school. At this school the cups are tied
to the wall and cannot be thrown Into
the sinks. The reports from the Haw

of children suffering from the Infec

school in the city In proportion to size
and number of students.
