ONE Til I Nt AND A NOT II Bit.
There was a narrow escape from ut
ter failure by a small oversight in the
bills which have been passed by the
state legislature over the governor's
veto. These were the bills providing
for the Omaha fire and police com mis
eioners, the beet sugar and chicory
bounty and the measure giving the
authority to the secretary of state to
designate the newspapers in which
constitutional amendments are to be
printed. The last bill took this pre
rogative from the governor. There
were several wideawake agents of
some of the interests involved and the
discovtry of the omission in the process
of making laws over the governor's
head was discovered by one of thetie.
The correct method of procedure is to
have the presiding officers of each
house certify that the enrolled bill has
been passed notwithstanding the gov
ernor's objections. In the case of
these bills this certificate had been
omitted and the enrolled bills lodged
in the vault of the secretary of state
This certificate must be signed by the
presiding officers of the senate and
house in open session. It cannot be
done after adjournment. When it was
discovered at four o'clock Friday
afternoon that the bills were defective
there was for a brief space consterna
tion in the hearts of the promoters of
these bills. The men interested are
men of action and in a few minutes a
a plan of action was decided upon. If
the legislators took a notion to adjourn
before the defect was cured all the
winter's work on these bills would be
lost. Possession of the bills was ob
tained and as hurriedly as good en
gineering could do It the certificates
were attached. At eight o'clock the
corrected bills were given back to the
secretary of state. How near to fail
ure these bills came is best appreciated
by the men who had a personal inter
est in them and were in a position to
know the true condition of affairs
The whole business of making the cor
rection was conducted in the quietest
manner. But few knew what was go
ing on, and it is said that when the
bills were returned to the secretary of
state's office the custodian was su
prised to know that they had ever left
the vault.
It is stated on reliable authority that
Japan has proposed the following con
ditions for the conclusion of peace
with China: The independence of
Corea; the cession of southern Man
churia, including Tort Arthur; the
cession of the island of Formosa; the
opening of Chinese ports and rivers to
commerce; the payment of an in
demnity of 400,000,000 yen, and the oc
cupation of a number of stragetic
points until the indemnity shall have
been paid.
Dr. J. B. Moore of Emerson has been
engaged in the manufacture of a rem
edy which he calls "Tree of Life." It
contains alcohol in allopathic doses,
but the doctor had failed to take out a
government permit to carry on the re
tail liquor business. The officers
gathered him in Thursday. He
acknowledged the rye, and was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. He said it was done by.mistake.
The legislature forgot to make an
appropriation to pay the sugar bounty,
which was like giving the word of
promise to the ear, but breaking it to
the hope. It will have to be paid,
however.
The demise of W W. Graves oc
curred at his home at Hock Bluffs
Saturday at II :55 a. m., aged seventy
six years. All of his ten children save
J. D. Graves (who arrived Saturday
evening) were present when he
breathed his last. lie was buried at
2:30 o'clock Sunday . at the Rock
Bluffs cemetery, a large company of
neighbors and friends attending, not
withstanding the rain. Full of years
and enjoying the respect of all who
knew him, Father Graves has passed
to his reward.
The supreme court has reaffirmed its
own decision in the case of J. C. Peter
sen of this city against the Anheuser
Busch Brewing Co. Mr. Peter en was
originally awarded a judgment of $400
with interest. The brewery company
has already paid the money into the
bands of Clerk of Court Dearing and
the last action of the supreme court
will settle the matter.

which amounts to several hundred dol

nevertheless urged that the commis

Gentlemen: I have for months been
a sufferer from Itching Piles, and tried
numerous so-called remedies which
did me no good. I procured a box of
Maonet Pile Killer, and I confess
the first application gave me great re
lief, and white I feel 1 am not entirely
cured, I believe that before I have the
entire box used I will be well.
To every one suffering with this un
pleasant disease I sincerely recommend
Maonet Pile Killek.

White's opera house was comfortably
filled with an Interested audience
when the High School band opened
the exercises with a well-executed
number.
J. L. Hoot was chosen master of
ceremonies, and in a brief address in
troduced Hon. J. B. Strode, who made
the formal address of the occasion,
and very pleasantly entertained the
audience for an hour, first by some
thing of a detailed account of the cir
cumstances attending the capitulation
of Gen. Lee's army to Gen. Grunt, and
secondly by a formal address on
"American Patriotism." '1 he audience
gave close attention and was liberal in
the bestowal of applause, ii wus of a
uou-paitituu character uua entirely
Appropriate to the occasiou.
au address Itom m woman's stand
point wus then iu.ide by Alls. Kale
.McMakeu, which wus well UeliveitU
und was highly appreciated. She spoke
not oi tho soldiers who went to the
field, but of the patriotism of the
mothers who staid ut home, in giving
their sons to their country, and the
success of the Woman's Ueliet Corps,
uud her address is well worth repro
ducing. Following Mrs. McMaken, Comrade
Strode took charge of the meeting and
miscellaneous speaking by members
ot the Grand Aimy,uud a great deal
of fun was extracted, und closing with
a supper prepared by the ladies.
The exercises were interspersed with
music by a quartett composed of
Misses Mable and Dora Sweariugen
and Messrs. Harvey Hollowav ami
Frank Dickson, who sang "America,"
"The Stars and Stripes," "Grand
Army Clatter" and "Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground," with most pleas
ing effect, receiving encores after each
performance.
The supper was a very happv close
of the attair, nearly people par
