LINCOLN , Jan. 10. ( Special Telegram. )
The annual meeting of the Nebraska State
Historical society wan held In the State un
iversity chapel tonight. Many members of
the legislature attended. Excellent papers
were read by Hon. J , Sterling Morton , U , S.
tiohlnglcr and A. K. Sheldon , which showed
careful preparation and were listened to
with tndrUfd Interest.
Hon. J. Sterling Morton's address was a
very entertaining story entitled , "My List
lluffala Hunt. " It was an Interesting dc-
crlptlon of a trip over the than featureless
prairies of Nebraska , 1SC1. He told of the
exciting experiences In hunting the gaino
end Ills reminiscences of life on the plains
"were eloquently told ,
What 'rii.v > 'II He DoliiK In iiU.-.d.
In closing ho whimsically forecasted a
Visit to Kranklln county In 2250. IIo said :
H Is not a function of Iho historian to
forecast thu future , But briefly I anticipate
the possibilities as to the conditions nnd en
vironments In Rlverton and Franklin
comity 35S yearn hence. Thlb locality Is
then visited bv antiquarians and .invnnts In
< ho year A. 1) . 223C. TheBO learned men
( have come from Persia , China , Japan , Brazil ,
the Philippine Islands , Haw-all , the Argen
tine Hepubllc and the uttermost parts of the
northern and southern hemispheres. Some
of them have arrived by travel through
pneumatic tubes In time for lunch at Illvcr-
ton , having breakfasted at Buenos AJTCB ,
Hong Kong. London or New York. Others ,
instead of having boon blown In , reached the
plnco by aerial lines of beautifully winged
and most luxuriously furnished and deco
rated ships which arrived with the speed of
the flight of martens and swallows. Others
Jiavo been whizzed Into town upon elevated
electric railways which converge at Rlverton
from nearly every point of the compass.
At this - timethe race of human beings has
by evolution become almost nitlrcly vege
tarian In Its diet. Consequently this gath
ering of scientists discourses wisely i nd
learnedly relating to the horrible practices
of thplrmeateating ancestry of the year
5899 , when It 1 said to have been the cus
tom to cook nnd devour parts of the corpses
of sheep , swine and o < cen nnd likewise to
have considered It a luxury upon festive oc
casions to cat the roasted cadavers of
turkeys and other tame poultry , together
with the remains of game birds of every va
riety , which then existed In great abundance
on lho prairies of Nebraska
The nourishment nnd subsistence' of the
people at this convention consist entirely of
synthetic foods. They are manufactured out
t > f original elements by chemists In vast
laboratories which are maintained In vari
ous parts of the country. Sjnthetlc food Is
carried In the form of pelleto of concentrate"
nutrition. A vest pocketful of these nutri
ents Is the ooulvnlent of a carload of the
gross food of 'tho ' year 1899.
I'erluuiH Cook * Will He No More.
The palate , by nonusage under the
synthetic system of nutrition , has almost
ceased to be an organ of taste. Human
Btomachs have been largely contracted by
the method and the groasness of the race
has been very much moderated. The con
vention looks forward to n tlnlo when all the
tmnoyancps and worry Incident to cooks nnd
cooking shall have been blotted from the
constantly diminishing list of human woes.

LINCOLN , Jan. 10. ( Special Telegram. )
Members of the legislature who hoped and
believed that ono of the places where 4lie
present session would observe economy
would be In the matter of Introduction of
bills were surprised to notice that the house
members put In 125 bills In two days.
An Investigation shows , however , that a
large number of these are from the bunch
prepared by Wheeler and Sheldon In the
eltort to correct the technical errors In the
rtatutes. This bunch Includes 120 bills and
part of them have been Introduced by re
quest and are fathered by two or three re
publican members. It Is understood that the
balance of the lot will soon bo turned In by
fusion members , after which the storm of

DENVER , Jan. 10. Charles S. Thomas ,
cmocrat , was Inaugurated governor of Colo-
ado at noon today , the oath of ofllcc being
dmlnlstered by Chief Justlco Campbell ,
'ho governor then delivered hla Inaugural
ddress , at tbo conclusion of which the other
tale offlcers-elcct were aworn In. The In-
ugural exercises were herd In the hall of the
louse of representattvee , which was beautl-
ully decorated with the national colors. A
urge audience was In attendance and at the
lese of the exercises the governor held a
mbllc reception.
Governor Thomas' Inaugural address was
evoted entirely to the discussion of state
( Tnlrs. He called attention to the fact that
ho revenues have been dwindling , while ex-
lendlturcs were swelling , and said financial
Isatiter can be averted only by keeping the
ubllc expenditures as low as the demands
> f a healthy public service will permit and
by securing n system of assessments ) which
n111 reach and return nt a fair valuation the
axablo property of the commonwealth.
Among other tax reforms the governor
ecomraended an Inheritancetax. . He
trongly advised lopping oft alf unnecessary
ftlces and retrenchment In every direction
> 099lble. IIo recommended the abolition of
tie various boards which now have charge
f the state Institutions and the creation of
a single board of control. Ho recommended
he abolition of the court of appeals and an
ncrease of the number of judges In the
upromo court. IIo suggested the amend
ment of the Insurance laws BO as to cncour-
go the organization of local joint stock and
nutual companies with a view to keeping In
ho state a portion of the money now paid
o foreign insurance companies , amounting
o over 13,500,000 annually. Foreign Insur
ance companies on the mutual assessment
plan , he said , should be prohibited from
doing business In the state or required to
make deposits to protect their state policy
lolders. He recommended various amend
ments for the election laws , Including aboil-
Ion of the use of emblems ; legislation to
abolish the truck or scrip system employed
> y some corporations In payment of their
employes and the creation of the office of
state superintendent of banks.
Strike * nt the Trnnti.
On the subject of trusts , Governor Thomas
said :
The combinations known ns trusts have
naturally flourished and expanded under the
"rlendly Influences of the present administra
tion. In the process of absorption they have
overlooked nothing. The few pursuits which
are outside the charmed circle arc present
subjects of Investigation. They Include some
ndustrlea peculiar to the west and some
which tire In competition with trusts al
ready established. The tremendous economic
and political Influence of these modern ag
gregations need no discussion. Whether the
ovll can be eradicated by peaceful methods
Is problematical. That It can be mitigated
, s highly probable. An enactment whereby
forfeiture and dissolution shall follow the
direct or Indirect merger of any home cor-
porutton Into a general combination of kin
dred Interests In other states , by whatever
name such combination shall be known , Is
urgently demanded. Lot us prevent , as far
as we can , the epreed of this contagion
within our borders , and resist by all meth
ods known to the law the extension of the
so-called trust system to the pursuits which
have thus far so greatly promoted our pros
perity and the development of our resources
Separation of church' hJ 'State Is an adj
mltted essential to constitutional government
Every reason upon which that doctrine Is
founded demands a like divorce between the
trusts and the state. If the remedy sug >
Rested be severe It must bo remembered thn' '
the disease Is desperate. Many of our sister
commonwealths are helpless In the presence
of creatures they have brought Into being
but can no longer control. I/et us profit by
their mournful example If we would avoid
their fate.

ness In the state should bo placed undc
the charge of the Insurance department.
Concerning banks he says : "Tho Infer
motion furnished In the report of the ban
commissioner Is very gratifying. I heartily
concur In the recommendation of the com
missioner that building and loan associa
tions within the tate be placed under the
control of that department and that outside
associations be required to give security for
the protection of Kansas Investors as a con
dition precedent to doing business In the
state. The commissioner also recommends
the creation of a guarantee fund for the
protection of bank depositors. No one thing
connected with the business of banking
would be more desirable than some pro-
vlflon to eecuro depositors. "
Referring to railroads he says they have
done great good to the state In developing
It. "They pay large taxes more than the
entire personal property of the state and
have 30,000 employes who receive $15,000,000
In annual wages. It seems strange that
agencies which have done so much for the
state are now bearing such a large part of
Us burdens and furnishing employment to
eo many of Its laborers should bo met by
the people In a spirit of unfriendliness , If not
hostility ; yet It Is apparent that such a
spirit exists. The causes for this condition
are numerous. On the ono hand the political
demagogue has been constant , In season
and out of season , In Inciting the people
against the railroads that he might gain
personal or political advantage. On the
other , the railroad management has afforded
ample ground for the discontent which
exists. It can hardly be hoped that thcra
will bo a re-establishment of the old-Urns
relations of cordiality and good will while
those reasons remain. The railroad com
panies have large sums Invested In Kansas
and should be allowed to realize a reason *
able profit on the amount Invested. The
people of the state are too fair-minded to so
limit the rate of transportation over rail-
end lines as to cripple tlia companies ,
ent thorn from realizing a reasonable ln
otno on their capital or from
nylng to the great nrmy of laborers they
mploy good wages. They believe , however ,
lat the railroads have discriminated against
< aneas communities nnd out of this belief
ins grown much of the feeling of dlseatls-
actlon which now prevails. " Ho recom
mends that some method bo adopted permit *
Ing all railway men to vote when they ar *
way from their homes with their trains on
lection dav.
Touching on prohibition he sjys the law
ias been Indifferently enforced , that ns A
olltlcal question It has run Its course , but
s an economic one should command earnest
ttentlon. He says the law has been a
cttled policy of the state for eighteen years.
The wisdom of It ho will not discuss , but
> elloves that whatever failure In enforcing
ho law has existed Is duo mainly to the
uetropolltan police system , which he dolores -
lores a "failure , ecnmlal nnd disgrace. "
le says the law should be equally enforced
vlth all others and the metropolitan police
ystcm has failed to fulfill the expectations
f Us friends and Us abolition meets with
its approval.
