THE PRINTING INVESTIGATION
Following Is the report of the com
mittee appointed to Investigate workings
of the state printing board
Your committee on accounts and ex
penditures instructed to Investigate the
workings of the state printing board
have duly examined the records of said
board and find that only a portion of
the printed supplies contemplated by
law to be purchased by and through
the printing board have been so pur
chased and this not only during the
last biennium but during the biennium
preceding it Questioned by your com
mittee as to why all supplies had not
been purchased by said board the offi
cials of the board stated that it was
due to the failure of heads of depart
ments and state institutions to furnish
quarterly estimates as is plainly requir
ed by law Inquiry from the officials
of the board prior to the last biennium
elicited the same information The
board was of the opinion that if the
law should be observed by all state offi
cials and the officers of state institu
tions and the entire printing supplies
of the state be purchased and contracted
for by the printing board as directed by
law the costs of same would be mate
rially reduced
Your committee visited each depart
ment of state and by the heads of each
in turn it was admitted that during the
last biennium the heads of each depart
ment from the governors office down
and the heads of each state institution
had purchased stationery and their
needed office supplies as they saw fit
aiming to place orders to the best ad
vantage possible Their attention was
called to the law governing the pur
chase of such supplies and by each it
was admitted that the provisions of the
statutes had been disregarded Ignor
ance of the law was given by some as
the reason for such disregard while
others stated that they were familiar
with the law but had simply followed
in the footsteps of their predecessors
All agreed that the law should and
would be strictly adhered to hereafter
and each was of the opinion that such
a course would result in a great saving
to the state
A further conference was held with
the printing board and it was agreed
that hereafter the board would insist
that all printing and printed supplies
must be furnished through and by the
printing board as contemplated by law
In the senate on the lGth the follow
ing bills wero passed Providing for
the destruction of prairie dogs Pro
viding that all wan ants issued by
proper authority of any county city
township or school district shall draw

tion shall he paid into the state treas
ury and that Rev Ludden shall be re
imbursed for postage and stationery

at the office of the city clerk and shall
begin on the first Monday of the
month preceding each and every elec
tion except school district elections

tle states that the fees shall be paid

preme court has held that no state

Demand of Farmers
The farmers throughout Nebraska
who are demanding of this legislature
that a law be passed which will com
pel railroad companies to allow them
to handle and ship their own grain
will watch with eager eyes the ac
tion of the senate on the Brady bill
this week
Senator Brady January 22 intro
duced a bill to require railroads to
build a side track or switch to any
elevator or elevators erected for the
purpose of buying storing or shipping
grain and providing a penalty of 1
000 payable to the state for violations
of the act He has consanted to
amendments wmch require that the
elevator cost at least 3000 and that
the side track need not be built unless
the railroad first refuse to furnish a
site on its right of way for the elevator
asking for it
In this shape the bill has the en
dorsement of farmers associations in
practically every county in Nebraska
A number of mass meetings have been
held in Boone county Butler county
and other counties to petition the leg
islature to pass the bill in this form
The object is to secure relief from the
elevator combine
Pure Food Bill Agreed To
The pure food hills will be reported
to the house at the earliest opportu
nity for passage with a few imend
ments The bills provided for a re
peal of the law providing for a sys
tem of fees and permits to sell cer
tain goods in the state This provi
sion made the board almost self-supporting
Under the proposed bill
these sections were to be repealed
and the law left as it was drafted in
other particulars
Before the committee acted on the
measure a delegation of wholesale
grocers and manufacturers of Lincoln
were given a hearing They strongly
obpected to the measure on the
ground that it worked a hardship on
the home manufacturer It would
permit the outside manufacturers
who make adulterated goods toman
ufacture them still and sell them in
the state while the home manufac
turer would not have the privilege of
manufacturing even unless he sold
all his goods outside of Nebraska
This argument was strongly urged
against the rigorous provision of the
measure
Time is Passing
In a few days the legislators will
be wishing they had been more ac
tive early in the session Friday
March 13 was the forty sixth day In
the fourteen remaining days all the
appropriation bills must he consider
ed and other measures that are de
sired must be rushed through unless
a long time is spent here without
pay It is quite a task especially as
the aprpopriations loom up with mon
umental height before the members
With the new revenue law in pros
pect they will feel more free how
ever in passing these bills The
state normal school bill is at the head
of the general file ready for an early
resurrection With it is the bill ap
propriating money for a new chapel
at the state normal at Peru The
bill appropriating 100000 for new
buildings at the state farm under the
Sears resolution though favorably
acted upon in committee of the whole

not affected by tiie silver craze of

sachusetts is probably the only mem

of his grandfather Benjamin F But
ler and also that of his father Adel
bert F Anaes The new senator from

A Chicago inventor Mr George Ma
grady has discovered a process of
manufacturing a thirty six candle pow
er light that will never go out While
experimenting with photographic

attention was attracted by a glow in
a small globe The glow was caused
by a chemical which the inventor
keeps secret Magrady enlarged tho
glow and perfected the light by plac
ing it in an air tight glass He says
there is no reason why the light will
not remain brilliant forever if it is not
broken A company has been formed
to manufacture the lights in numer
ous sizes A patent hood fits over tho
globe and covers it completely when
the light is not needed
WAS REFUSED LIFE INSURANCE
Rejected on Account of Coffee Heart
Life insurance companies have fully
established the fact that the use of
coffee causes an organic derangement
of the heart shortening the long beat
and imperiling life For this reason
habitual coffee drinkers are refused
life insurance in many cases A well
known merchant of Whites Creek
Tenn proprietor of a large store
there says Three years ago I was
examined for life Insurance and to my
surprise was rejected because my
heart action was at times out of place
15 beats in 60
I consulted several good doctors
and was invariably asked by them Do
you drink ardent spirits use tobacco
or drink coffee To
the first I an
swered Very little to the second
No to the last Yes and they would
all say Quit coffee
I determined to do this I had read
about Postum Cereal Coffee and bought
and used it and I liked it as well as
the best of real coffee and as a re
sult of its use in place of coffee I find
myself without a skip in my heart
action and I can get insurance on my
life cheaper by 25 per cent notwith
standing the advance in age than I
could when I first commenced usin
