Are Bosses of Convention and
Will Carry With Them an Option Plank.
NORRIS TO BE CHAIRMAN
NEARLY MAJORITY HA8 BEEN
PLEDGED THE PROGRESSIVES-
CONVENTION WILL BE HELD AT
LINCOLN TODAY.
Lincoln, Neb., July 2G. The prlncl
pal questions that will receive consideration at the hands, of the delegates to the republican state convention
here today are "Insurgency" and the
control of the liquor business by the
county option plan, and from all ap
pearances the "Insurgents" and "op
tion Ists" control the situation. To a great extent the two ideas are sup
ported by the same people, and a vie
tory for one carries with it the suc
cess of the other.
The temporary organization of the convention is in the hands of the "regular" anti-option wing of the party through the state central committee
which has named United States Sena
tor Norris Brown of Kearney for tem
porary chairman. That side is expect
ed to make the temporary organiza tlon permanent. The opposition, how.
ever, will, according to the present
program, endeavor to supplant the
senator In the chair with George W.
Norris of McCook, congressman from the Ninth district, whose leadershin
in the fight against the so-called Can
non rules brought him Into national prominence during the last regular
session of congress.
Of the 855 delegates to the convert
tlon 306 but 62 less than a majority-
are instructed to support county option, while only 1U0 have Instructions against it If therefore the claim is well founded that the county optionists and the insurgents are the same It would seem that Senator Brown has
but slight chances of his chairmanship beyond the opening stages of the con
vention.
It is generally conceded that the
platform adopted by today's conven
tion will pledge the party in the state to the county option idea, but It Is understood to be the hope of those in opposition to secure concessions in
the wording of the plank.
The Indorsement of insurgency not
only by the election of Congressman
Norris as permanent presiding officer of the convention, but also by a strong
declaration Jn the resolutions adopted
is said to be planned by the anti-Can
non partisans.
PITTSBURG FAST
SET Oil RAMPAGE
Principals in a "Souse" Party
Stirs Pennsylvania Society to Depths.
ARRESTS FOLLOW AN ORGY
THREE MEN AND TWO WOMEN
MAKE WILD DASH IN AN AUTOMOBILE AND THREE PEOPLE
ARE BADLY INJURED.
Pittsburg, July 26. After eighteen
months, in which the fast set of But
ler county set a new high mark for
didos in fashionable Pennsylvania society, the end came yesterday when
warrants were Issued for the arrest
of a quintet of society leaders who in
a drunken orgy, followed by a joy
ride, seriousl possibly fatally injur
ed three persons.
There were three men and two wo
men who in their mad plunge for pleasure, ran down and cast aside all who opposed them In .their merry dash.
One of the crowd Is a daughter of a
prominent minister of that, section.
The last escapade participated In by
the five leaders surpassed the notorious "Spencer dinner," when novelties not thought of in Paris were introduced in what was then considered "stad Butler."
During the absence of Mrs. Spencer
the house and furnishings were wrecked, as well as the reputations of some prior to that time considered beyond reproach.
A Woman May Die. , As a result of this last orgy one wo
man, daughter of the prosecutor may die' and two others are seriously In
jured. Those held under bond are Dr. W. C. Bradley charged with driving an
automobile while he was Intoxicated, and disorderly conduct $800: and W. H. Bradley, Jr.. Harry Reining, proprietor of the principal hotel Id But
ler; Miss Laura Jennigs and Miss
Clara Jennings of Butler, daughters of
millionaire Henry Jennings, who died a month ago, held under bond of $00 on a charge of disorderly conduct To this will be added several suits for monetary damages because of physical injuries to L L McCandless. a wealthy farmer and his daughter. Miss Katherine who were run down by the automobile and insulted and
laughed at as they were stretched out
on the road side with broken bones and Joseph Coulter, who was the third victim of the mad ride down the pike. The vehicles occupied by Coulter and
McCandless and his daughter were
demolished.
In addition there will be divorce suits and Attorney William 1L Mart'n is preparing additional papers In this case. The Bradleys had been in the Adirondacks on an automobile tour and stopped at Butter, Mrs. Bradley accompanied her husband. She was left
at the hotel Willard. Accompanied by Reining the three drove to the Jennings home where death was still a memory, and the two daughters, beautiful, accomplished, European travelers and leaders of home society, joined the party. Just two nights prior Butler police were asked to investigate an abandoned house, and after forcing the door, found two men and two women of the social set there. The police say satisfactory explanations were made, but the story became public property, and the ministers of Butler Sunday from pulpits spoke of the immorality of leaders of society there and an Investigation which promises even more startling developments has been begun by a committee of five men, all husbands of women whose names have been used In these cases- and who In
tend to expose all who are parties to the spicy celebrations.
THE FINAL POSH
It Made the Thing Harmonious and Complete All Around. In the early days of traveling by stagecoach across the Rocky mountains the trip was likely to be relieved of monotony by incidents of no ordinary occurrence. But the fatigue of the journey was apt to wear upon the nerves of the weak and the timid. Sometimes the passengers became so worn out .as to lead to a suspicion of their sanity. The Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle in his "Reminiscences of a Missionary Bishop" describes an instance in point , One forenoon the coach rolled into Denver, nnd the six horses came prancing np to the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. A large crowd was assembled, as the Incoming and the outgoing of the dally coaches were the great events for the town. t At the stop the only passenger quiofcly threw open the coach door, leaped to the ground, ran hurriedly across the street and. turning a handspring, stood on his head with bis heels np against a supporting walL Several men followed him. quite sure that here was anotber passenger erased by the long, sleepless tide. One said to him In a One of sympathy. "Why. cap'n. what's the matter?" Slowly coming to a right side np posture, the man answered: "Well, -my .friend. I'll tell you what it is. This standing on my bead la the only position whicb I haven't been in during the last rr'T-fonr boors in yonder coach, and I wanted to make tho thing harmonious and complete all round." v
Servant -riu:m o,Uv-w Years Old. It 1$ rather comforting for distraught housewives who have difficulties with their domestics to know the servant problem U nothing modern and not as has been surmised, an effect of a per petual war between capital and labor. Mistress and maid, mau and master, have always been iu antagonism to each other. Reverse the situation and it would be the same, as it has been ever since the world began. A Philadelphia authority rejoices because at Fordham university it ha come to light that nearly 3.000 years B. C the Egyptians were bavlug as poor a time with servants as some people in the United States are experiencing this very day. It was not all rapture and roses in the best families of Egypt ow
ing to this branch of domestic life not bearing proper fruit. From some ancient papyri which have recently been unearthed In a tomb near Memphis maxims hare been deciphered that are eye openers. The Egyptians must have had a terrible time In their households when such sentiments as these survive the centuries: "In sooth thou sbalt find It hard to satisfy thy servants despite thy earnest desires, for if thou be harsh with them they Khali say: 'He Is a cruel master. Lo. we shall ro! ' Solomon knew what be was talking about when he said there is nothing new under the sun. for It made no difference to Pharaoh's servant "even though thou give princely gifts of gold tips, of course and precious stones to thy higher servants, content is not In them, for they shall say: Lo. the master Is suddenly grown gracious! We shall go.' " If any more of these manuscripts dealing with this subject are found It is hoped they may be deciphered for the consolation of the world. Misery always lores company, and
even these musty maxims of 8,000
years ago are as fresh as daisies.

two English opticians have perfected

submarine periscope tube, enables
those within the vessel to see on all aides for a distance of eight miles.
There are about 26,800 worms to an
