Coi.uiiiiua, Jan. G. -Tho senatorial
contoBt broke more bitter today than
over. After the senatorial develope
mentB of last night together with the
repeated changes of front of represent
ative Griffith and othor doubtful ; mem
bers operations wore continued more
clandestinely on both sides. No claims
ot Change were made on either side.
The feature of the day was the passage
in the Iioubo, as its first measure and by
unanimous vote, a bill repealing the law
for BO-year franchises to Btreet railways.
This repealing bill was introduced by
liopresentativo Bromley, of Cleveland
who is one of the Republicans opposing
Hanna. The proceedings in the house
were merely routiue, but the old lines of
Monday were drawn whenever the steer
iiiK committee so desired. In the sen
ate thero were no new developments,
Senator Burke continuing to co-operate
with the Democrats.
When your stomach begins to trouble
you, itneedB help. The help it needs,
is to digest your food, and until it gets
It, you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble 1b very distressing, very obsti
nate, very dungoroua. Many of the
moat dungoroua of diseases begin with
simple indigestion. The reaBon is that
indigestion (not digestion, not nourish
ment) weakens the system and allows
disease germs to attack it. This anti
dote is Shaker DigeHtive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative. It
cures indigestion and renews strength
and health. It does this by strengthen
ing the Btomach, by helping it to digest
your food. It nourishes you. Shaker

GiiA.vr'H I'akh, Jan. 4. John Card
well and G. Karg late last night were
crossing a long bridge over Grave creek,
about '25 miles north of this place. When
they were about half way across, a
south-bound freight train came along.
Karg retained his presence of mind and
lay down on the ties, the train passing
safely ovor him, but Cardwell became
frightened and jumped oil' the bridge,
which is about seventy feet high, and
was instantly killed. In falling his head
struck some of the joists and was crush
ed in. Coroner Myers went to the Bcene
early this morning. He immediately
impanelled a jury, which roturnod a
verdict exonerating the railroad com
pany from all blame.
Cardwell was an old-timer in tills
country, and was and uncle to the Poole
hoys, who, a year ago, wero under ar
rest for holding up a Southern Pacific
train in Cow crook cauyou.

Outlook fur Annexation.
Ciiicacio, Jan. 5. A Washington dis
patch says.
The outlook for the ratification of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty is now con
sidered very bright. The friends of the
measure believe they can secure for it
02 votes, or tiiroe more than will he nec
essary. There has, it in said, been a marked
change of sentiment since the European
powers inaugurated tiieir policy of ag
gression in China. The feeling is very
strong here that unlesB the United States
takes in Hawaii, the islands are likely
to cause us trouble in the future, when
one or more of the European nutions at
temps to acquire them or give them to
Japan bb compuesation for their grab in
China.
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, says he will
call up the treaty at the first executive
session of the senate.

THE COURT WAS THIRSTY.
So It Overruled tbe Supreme Court
and IlouRlit Itaclf Drink.
Just lis Shakespeare has been ac
cepted for years and yearn as the de
ciding umpire in most matters literary,
so the Nebraska people had grown to
look upon the supreme, court of their
state as the fountain head of wisdom,
whose opinions could not be gainsaid.
It is a wuy people have of regarding
supreme courts in most states, as a mat
ter of fact.
William Alstadt, u little German,
whose readiest identification among
his people was by the name of "Bis
marck," was not one who cared over
much for tradition, and one summer
day, after having been harangued by
two lawyers until he was almost burst
ing willi thirst, he made a decision
which brought him fame. It does not
make any especial difference what wus
the question at issue. It was something
about a dog. There was a sensible side
to it and a technical side. The "tech
nical" lawyer presented bushels and
tons of authorities, and finally wound
up with a triumphant declaration that
the supreme court had decided on a
similar case before and had decided his
wuy.
When he sat down, Bismarck, with a
sigh of relief, said: "I decide for de
oder feller. Come on, poys, let's dake a
drink."
But," cried the defeated lawyer, hi
astonishment, "I tell you, your honor,
tlmt the supreme court, has decided ex
actly opposite."
"My frient," said Bismarck, "inshen
eral I huf some sympathies mit dot
suhrcme court. But on a hot day, mit
a fool of n lawyer dallcin' four hours,
1 am inofed to gonsult der good sense
and shudgment of Bill Alstadt, J. P.
Bill lstadt is not only gonviuced, but
he is dlrsty, and he decides dut if der
subreme court of JCebrnsky vants to
make a tarn fool off Itself in a question
like dis it can do so, but dot aint bind
ing on dls shustv'e shop. Der subrcme
court is hereby oferruled. Der plain
tiff gits tt-r dog, and der court will now
broceed to spend der fees in dis case
in a way dot his shudicial thirst sug
gests, mit great gordiality. Come on,
poys."
Thus it was that the supreme court
was overruled, and as a plain state
ment of fact .lust'eo Bill Alstadt's de
cision lias always been followed in sim
ilar eases brought in Nebraska tri
bunals. In the same way the hulf trim

susceptible of revision or reversal.
