Neb. , April 0. [ Special to

time and money expended In tbo past Icfjls-
laturo may bo inferred /rotn / the fact that In

lower thnn tblrty passed.
In the house CI3 bills wcro introduced and
fewer than fifty passed. Tlieso bills If piled
one above the other would tench to the top of
the KlfTcl lower. Ono bill nlono , the Now-
berry maximum rate measure , made n pile In
the printing ofllco twenty-four feet In Height.
The total cost of the legislature WOT $175-
000 , but a few thousand less than that of two

LINCOLNNob. . , April 0. [ Special to Tun
BCE. | An evidence of how much insincerity
tboro was in the support of the Nowberry
maximum rate bill by souio of the independ
ents and how greatly they respected the
wishes of their consltuents , 'may bo In
ferred from the following Interviews :
Stan ding at the ) . & M. denot waiting for
the westbound train , wcro Iloprosontatives
Rlodlo and S towns of Fillinoro , talking about
the close of the session.
Said ModiespotvUlng.of the New berry bill :
"I'd ' rattier have it dead than alive. Its bet
ter for us to have it In Its grave than out , be
cause wo can HOW appeal to the
people with more force than over.
If it had passed mid proved
to bo a bad measure wo independents would
ho blamed for It. Hut notv wo have the
credit of voting for Hand lha ether fellows
must bear the blame of defeating it. "
Uoprcaontntlvo Stevens of Flllnioro said :
"Yes , it is bettor for us that it did not pass.
I am persounlly glud that It did not pass this
year as the supreme court would have been
ncalnst it , nnd if there had been any miscar
riage in the bcnolits the people expected
from it we would bo blamed , Wo can go on
our record to Urn pcoplo and In two years
from now wo will swcon the entire stato. "
Senntor Hill of Ilastl ngs , on his way to
the capital Saturday afternoon , said : "Yes ,
I thlnlt the Nowborry bill was too sovero.
That was the trouble with it. It was an ex
treme measure. My people in Adams county
passed resolutions" asking mo to support a ro-
auction ' of 30 par cant in freight rates , but
tli'o Nowborry bill cut from 40 per cent to ( X )
per cent and although i voted for it nnd did
all 1 could to malco It u law I am satisfied it
was too severe. A man will sometimes
under pressure and to Iccep a promise vote
for u measure that Is too radlcnl. "
UloU Dobson of Flllnioro said to a friend In
the capital : " 1 think t ho Nowberry bill was
too severe , out reforms K < mcrnlly come
through extreme measures nnd I supported
tbo bill and worked for it although 1 think
the cut in rates was too much , if men would
bo inoro reasonable and stand .together they
could accomplish more fortho people. "

OMAHA WILL MAKE A GRAIN MARKET ,
0 ru i n nion Discuss the Warehouse

a nt
For some tlmo enterprising citizens of
) maha have felt that n great grain , produo-
np state like Nebraska should hnvo some
uarkctfor her ccroals nearer homo than
IlilcnRO or St. Louis.
When the stock yards wcro opened nt
Jouth Omaha the Idea that a market could bo
milt up for llvo stock so far west of Chicago
nnd liitliofaco ( of the compotltloti of that
grout warlcet was scouted , not only by the
tockmcn of ether stales , but even many
{ obroskuns hud very little faith ir. the
chomo. The marvelous growth of the Omaha
ivo stock market has been a matter of en
couragement to grain men \VMOBCO no reason
vhy Omaha cannot bo mndo a market for
grain as well ns for cattle an hogs.
This Idea has been fjrowlnc very rapidly of
ate with the result that a bill wna prepared
and presented to the legislature providing
or the regulation of public warehouses ,
vhich was regarded as the first step in the
mildlng up of a Nebraska grain market , pub
ic warehouses being as essential to a ( { rain
nnrkct ns yards nrci to n llvo stock market.
'L'hls bill has already been outlined in these
columns and Is similar In its csscnllnl fea-
ures lo the laws already in force In Illinois
and Missouri , which are familiar to all .grain
non. It provides for the establishment of
mbllc warehouses , whoru grain can bo stored
it small expense to the owner , nnd lays down
ho rules and regulations governing such
va rehouses.
The bill passed the senate with very llttlo
opposition but in the house It was regarded
vlth suspicion from the fact that it came
from Omaha nnd that It was fav
ored by the grain men. It required
no UMlo iimnniit ofvnrl * on thn nnrLnflta
friends to exnlain its advantages before the
country legislators could bo won over , and
oven then it did not pass the house until al
most the last thing before adjournment.
Perhaps the best way to Judge of the Im
portance of the bill is to hoar what thnso Dost
nformed have to say on the subject.
C. 11. Fowler , treasurer of the fowler ele
vator company of Omaha , said :
"iTOfrard this bill as ono of the best bills ,
'or ' the f armor nnd for every ono elaoln No-
iraslia , that the legislature could hnvo
rassiul. Ono of Its greatest bcnuiltswill
jo to enable Omaha to reach all
unrkcts , north , sauth , east and west ,
and , furthermore , to sell direct to exporters
in our owa grade. 1C tbo Gnlveston harbor
3 opened it will make a good outlet for our
ccronls. The bill will admit of the establish-
nontof warehouses in the state , where local
dealers can store their grain ntid borrow
nonoy upon the receipts Issued by such
varchouscs , as well as In the elevators In
argcr cities , as all receipts are Issued on the
ja.sla of prraacs as shown in the inspection
'aw just passed. Wo look for Oinnha to be-
; omo ono of the best grain points west of
Chicago. Our eastern correspondents
say that they will gladly buy
our grain , at Omaha weights nnd inspection ,
n preference to buying nt Chicago or St.
Louis , as our gr.ides will bo worth more for
consumptive purposes , with a fair crop. No-
jraska corn generally brings n premium over
other states. Now that the bill hoS missed
.vc . would like to see the Omaha board of
iradoopcn an oxclmngohall and the business
men of Omaha put their shoulders to the
ivhccl nnd make this n great grain-center. "
It may bo added to wbat Mr. Fowler said
thnttao passage of this bill will bb'thameans
of n number of warehouses nnd elevators being
built in the state. The Eowler olovntor com-1
[ iany has already drawn plans for the en
largement of its elevator from a capacity
of SiOO.OOO bushels to a 500,000 or 800,000 ,
bushel capacity. This will necessitate the
expenditure in Omaha of between 500,000 and
$75,000. The addition will bo completed in
time to handle the crop of 18'Jl ,
E. K. Cyrus , also of the Fowler elevator
company , spoke still furtherouthesauio sub
ject , as follows :
"All other boards of trade have an ox-
ance hall for the benefit of active traders
In different products. Such hall has branch
wires from nil tclograpu companies and the
expenses of running nro assessed on all mem
bers of the board. Under the
provisions of the -waroliouso bill ,
local dealers and farmers will bo enabled
to ship and store their grain nt points whera
them is a resident inspector and a public
warehouse. The receipts issued hy ware
houses for grain thus stored are rocognLooa
as negotiable paper in nil markets , und w hero
in the past foreign cnpitalists hnvo advanced
money "nnd derived the revenue , our loci !
bankers and capitalists will now ' bo enabled
to secure tbo advantages from such loans.
Arguments were used to defeat this bill that
outsldo grain men could derive no benefits
from its passage ; that it was simply a
measure in the Interest of Omaha. The facts
do not justify the position thus taken. A local
dealer M any point in the state , with an
elevator or warehouse of small capacity , can
ship any surplus of grain coming Into his
point to larger centers , receive a warehouse
receipt for the same and negotiate such ro-
cclpt witli his local banker , or through him ,
with larger financial institutions. "
Tbo Omaha elevator company also took
great interest In the passage of the ware
liouso Dill , as was evidenced by conversa
tions with A. B. .laqulth , manager , and E. I' .
Peck , secretary , who expressed themselves
very much the same as the two gentlemen
orovlously mentioned. They said In substance -
stance :
"Tho Idea of grain Inspection to a dealer Is
this ! If wo have a law regulating weights
and Inspection wo can sell grain to goto other
markets nnd our weights .and Inspection are
received without question , but without such
a law wo are at the mercy of the parties to
whom wo sell. If it Is chimed that our
weights are short , for example , vvo have to
make up the difference ana , in order to allow
for these losses , wo must ouy on a wider
margin. Tbo new law , by providing for
oftlclal weights and grading of cereals , does
away with all disputes on that question and
grain men can operate on a smaller margin ,
which is of just so much advantage , to the
producer. It puts Nebraska on the
snmo basis with Minnesota , Illinois ,
Kansas and Missouri , which have similar
inws. The now law must result in concen
trating moro business In Omaha , and inside
of a year it Is snfo to predict that n grain ex
change will bo formed hero , something simi
lar to these in ether cities , wlilr.h will bring
a grcut many grain dealers Into Omaha from
other points. "
L. D. Fowler , cashier of the German Sav
ings bniiK , who was made chairman of tno
committco to draft the warehouse bill nnd
have it presented , spoke of the value of tbo
measure passed from a financial point of
view.
"Tho banks regard warehouse receipts as
first class soeurlty , nnd during the full when
largo amounts of money nro required to move
the crops this olll will double the collateral
security of our state. In n purely agricul
tural stnto It Is very ossontla ) that wo have
tiiu farm products in such shape as to ho
available as collateral In case of a stringent
money market , in the way of a benefit to
tiio farmers It enables them to place their
grain in n public warehouse , for which a re
ceipt will bo given , and on these warehouse
receipts they can borrow money at any -bank
at a low rate of interest , instead of being
.forced to pay t ! per cent per month , as has
many times happened with no such law In
existence.
Mr. Dean , of Swartz & Co. , grain brokers ,
remarked ;
"I think very well of the warehouse bill as
passed by the legislature and It will bo a
good thing for Nebraska. It ivlll tend to
make n grain market of Omaha and will en
able capitalists to build ulu elevators hero ,
where farmers can hold their groin , Instead
of being forced to sell or to store It ut ouuido
points. In other words they can store their
grain hero and discount their warehouse ro-
colpts at the bonks. I/ the Omaha board of
traao would only wnko up now they mlsht
make a maricot In grain hero similar to tuo
market already established for llvo stock. "
James Walsh , for seventeen years u farmer
in Douglas county , sold that he wished to
give a farmer's approval of the bill. Ho
said :
"Tho present warehouse bill U ooo of tue
best the IcplslrftSB passed. Horctoforo the
farmers of this stale wcro nt a loss to know
what grade of grain they were selling , in ,

Ijoniniul fur Morn Teachers
OilierHclionl Matters
Fully Discussed. '
Martin McCoimpll nnd Coburn were not
present when Sccrotnry Connaycr called the
roll nt the board of education moating
tonight.
Superintendent .Tames reported that the
night school at the central school had fallen
below thirty In altondanco and ho hud de
cided to close it
Miss Nora O'Connor was granted nn ex
tension of her vacation until May 1.
Superintendent James said two teachers
nro needed In the high scliool , and several
will probably bo needed In the graded schools
very soon. Ho suggested that n special
mooting of the board bo called to Uko these
matters Into consideration and elect the
teachers needed.
Mr. Poppleton moved that this matter bo
referred to a special committee nnd the
superintendent.
"Tlicro are half n dozen cities 1 know of , "
said Mr. 1'opploton , "where the tonchcrs
have a great many moro pupils in the rooms
than wo have heroin Omaha. I think wo
would bettor squeeze un n llttlo nnd save the
salaries of a few teachers. "
Mr. Hnbcock was on his foot when Popplo-
ton concluded nud ho agreed with the spirit
of I'opfloton's remarks. "Why can't we do
away uilh the Jackson school , and save the
salmles ol' the teachers down there ! The
superintendent has recommended that the
Jackson school bo abandoned and I thin k wo
ought to uo that very thlnir. "
Dr. SpaldliiR said that" the question of
doing away with the Jackson school comes
up regularly about six times a year , is re
ferred to a committee , aud the report Is
broueht in that tno scliool cannot bo done
without.
Popploton's motion was then put and car
ried. Poppleton , licoso nndBabcocic make
up this committee.
Superintendent James reported that the
following teachers are entitled to nn Increase
of salary : Corn 13. Smith , Mrs. Eollu W.
Nichols , Miss Helen Hogcrs , Miss Orio
Brown , Miss Mary B. Newton.
The sick list of the teachers durlnp the
month of March amounted to about eighty
uaj-Jr.
Superintendent Woolloy rcnortod that the
coiling of Omaha View school has fallen off
and ueeus repairing. The Central I'.inc
school is also lu a bad shape. Ttio matter
was referred to a special committee.
Suporiutondcnt .lamos presented a matter
which created an agrecablo surprise. Ho
said that three years ago ho had
receive nn Invitation from tholionrdof mana
gers of the world's ' fair , to bo hold nt Pans to
send some kind of a school exhibit to the fair
in 1&S9. Owing to the expenses aud tlmo
required In getting up n display of illustra
tions showing buildings , pupils' work
and such things , ho simply sent
copies of the umiunl reports ,
courses of study , rules and regulations , blank
reports , forms , etc. The display consisted of
such matter ns the Omaha boarc. of educailon
has constantly on hand , and the superintend-
on t'sald ho did not expect to hear from It.
But a few days ago ho received
a communication from the commis
sioners of the Paris exposition nccomnanicd
by a handsomely executed certificate * and a
bronze medal In acknowledgement of the
merits of the exhibit sent from Omaha.
The cortlflcuto and medal were ordered
framed.
Msa Goodson proaenlcd her resignation as
a teacher of the High school , which was
nccpptod.
Sudgo Leo Estello presented his resigna
tion ns nttornojufor the boorJ. The rcslgna-
Mlss S. H. Divls , a teacher , was granted
a leave of absence during thoapring term.
Citizens of Clifton Hill petitioned the board
not to decide upon the selection ofn silo for
the Clifton Hill school until moro bids have
been received. The matter was postponed
until the next regular meeting.
The boaru decided to change the nnmo of
the Paul school and call It the ICellom school ,
in honor of John II. Kollom , who was' prin
cipal of tiio high school nt ono timo.
fi\r. \ Babcock stated that ho was convinced
that some of the parties who nro furnishing1
cortl for the schools are supplying a very in
ferior quality. Tiio matter was referred to a
committee for investigation.
Mr. Smytho offered a resolution to make
nu appropriation of ? r for the purpose of
bearing the expense of securing witnesses
for tiio investigation of Superintendent
Woolloy and his work. Mr. Smytho said the
now law gives the board the
power to summon witnesses and
compel their attendance. The committee is
dcsiripus of making- the investigation a thor
ough ono and expert mechanics will bo called.
Mr. .Morrison wanted the resolution to
cover the expenses chat Mr. Woolloy may bo
put to ns well as the expenses of the board.
Sinytho , Wehror nnd" others opposed the
idea of paying the expense of Woolioy's sldo
of the nlTuir. The resolution was ndoptod
simply to pay the expenses of the board.
Smy the sprung a discussion by offering n
resojution to have a snocial examination for
the accommodation of a gentleman who was
unable to attend the high school examination
for teachers hold last week.
Mr. Coryoll opposed tbo resolution
because ho thought the puntlcmati
should have been on hnnd nt the regular time
nnd also because ho believed that lady toacli-
ors should bo hired instead of men , for the
reason , ns ho alloees , that for a given salary
much better lady teachers could , bo employed
than men. The resolution was loit.
Woliror moved that the Janitor of the
Pleasant school bo ? ivcn nn Increase In sal
ary on account of an additional room now In
uso.

Dr. Spauldingsaid the room was simply 9

AJMUSEJ1EXTS.
Out'of the thick atmosphere of fnroo come
dy , spectacular oxlravaganza , melodrama and
variety Into the pure air of historical drama ,
Is a change thnt brings a decided sensation of
relief and pleasure.
The audience , icprcscntativo In character ,
that comfortably lillod the Boyd last nlfrht
felt the change " and enjoyed It , and Mllo.
Hhen and her "capable company probably

reception In "Josephine , Empress of the
French , " written by Albert Rninml Haven.
The author , who is a nrofouml student of
! Napoleonic literature , as ho show * In the con
struction of the story , has arranged a very
strong series of historical pictures In this
best drama of the reign of the "Littlo Cor
poral. " Ho has taken , as wus necessary for
the elaboration of his plot , dranmtie llran.se
in the grouping of some of his characters , in
writing in" situations which never occurred
in history , but with all tho-so nllowablo do-
mrturcs from the truth , the piny Is romarka-
bloforlts consistency , for Its continuity.
Whoever lias made a study of the eh irac-
tor of the Jlrst consul knows full well th i , ho
was a man of moods , thnt ho scorned relent
less and morrlless at times , but that ho was
hysterical and trjiiiier.
The Napoleon of Mr. Haven Is nu
cntlifly different , personage from the
Napoleon of history , but this could
hardly have been otherwise , for tno piny
wus written for Hbon , not for an notor who
had an ambition to play the Kmporor. Nuvcr
once docs ho suggest the atmosphere that
cave Napoleon the fume w s look upon with
honor , lie Is in ado a secondary character in
this drama a foil for the , talented woman
who plays the part of tiio empress.
N'otwittistanaiiifr thnt there is little oppor
tunity for great work in the p.irtof the Ilrst
consul , still Mr. Harris , who plays the char
acter , makes out of It all that could possibly
bo mndo. His mako-np is wonderfully like
the Napoleon of the old prints , which' nearly _
every household owns , nnd the Impersonation j
from a dramatic standpoint Is exceedingly
strongnnd picturesque.
Khoa's Josephine is beautifully Impressive.
It is a sweet and tender picture of nu Ideal
woman , who , in the full blossom of her llfo
gives up n kingdom for the sake of the man
she loves and for her country's good.
