Some of the sportsmen from over the state
are anxious for the passageof n bill provid
ing a xtata game warden , the same au In
Eomo of the other ntatcs , the duties of the
officer being to see tliat the game laws were
enforced and to take ihargo of the proceed
ings In case of violation of the law. From
the southeast part of the state the olio inusl
actlvo In seeking some way to protect the
game and at the same time provide a way
for legitimate urort In season , Is Clay Davis
of Falls City. Mr. Davis \\as In the city to
day and In speaking of the matter said :
"There Is a great demand for a game
warden. No man desires to proceed against
his neighbor for violation of the law anl
local ofilcers are never anxious to prose
cute In such cases. Consequently the game
hogs and professional fishermen go right
on destroying the game. In my Immediate
neighborhood there Is much need of some
mcasuro that will protect the fish In the
streams. The Nemaha river , which runs
for sovontj-flvo miles through this parl of
the state and empties Into the Missouri
river n few mlle from Falls City , la n
splendid stream for fish , and > ct the nets
and seines and traps at the mouth of the
stream prevent the fish from running up
stream. In the early spring , the moment
the Ice Is out , the nets are stretched across
BO thai all the larger fish are caught , and
none are able to get ton miles up stream
vvhero we , at Falls City , can get a whack
nt them with rod and lino. I have been
down toward the mouth of the Nemaha and
have qccn as many as five nets all In sight
of the same point. As a consequence the
fishermen along the stream at Falls City ,
Salem , Davvsun , Humboldt , Table Hock , Tecumseh -
cumseh and on up do not get a chance to
BCO a good-sized catfish during the year
unless by peeping Into the wagons of some
of the fish hogs who como up through thi >
country selling fish lhal they have caught In
an unlawful manner. "
Mr. Davis said the same difficulty in the
present law woulyJ npply to every stream
of any sire In Uio state dbd that If there
was un officer who could inspect the
streams , order flshvvays built In the dams ,
prosecute the seine and trap fishers nnd at
the same tlmo look after enforcement of
the laws relating to the birds and other
game of the state It would no longer bo
necessary' for Nebraska sportsmen to go
over into Missouri to find good fishing or
shooting ground. He said that in demand
ing seine such law to protect the game ho
did not think the sportsmen of the state
wefn In the least selfish. There would be
n perfect willingness to pay the expense
by private subscription or assessment if
euch a plan were necessary nnd could be at-
rnngcd , so as to glvo a full cnfoicement
of the law by n special officer appointed for
that purpose.

nning the duties of the State Board of

S. F. 40 , an amendment to the game law ,
was reported to bo engrossed for third readIng -
Ing and this report aroused a discussion
over the right of sportsmen to build blinds
and kill getao along the sand bars of the
Platte rl\er. Locmls of Butler opposed the
bill and did not want it rushed forward.
Prince of Hall was in favor of the commlt
tee report and said that the law was de
manded by the legitimate sportsmen of the
state and \vas only opposed by the people
who live adjoining the river nnd who want
a monopoly of the game killing. Burns of
Lancaster was In favor of the 1)111 because
ho knew that the birds sought to bo pro
tected were of the migratory sort and to al
low promiscuous shooting along the river
might scatter the game so that some of It
would get down Into other parts of the state.
The report was finally modified and the bill
went to the general Hie ,
II. H. IfiO , also relating to the game lawi
and being similar to S. F. 40 , was in

The explanation of votes on this bill aa
sent uo to the clerk vvero os follows ;
Thompson of Merrlck There bolngno
sufildent safeguard In the bill to Insure the
carrying out of the purpose and object In
view , I vote no.
Ta > lor of Ouster I am afraid this money ,
through such a circuitous route , will never
reach the bojs , further It discriminates be
tween Nebraska boys , nil equally brave ,
loyal and deserving ; and , further , surely our
great government can care for Its defenders.
I vote 110.
Eastman I am opposed to any partiality
and especially to puttlusr JC 000 In tbc bands
of one whom this house very recently con
demned.
Cnvvthrn Helng of the opinion that this
hill opens the way for unplenmntnoss In
the way of disbursement , I wish to vote no.
Swan-I am an American nnd I nm In
favor of the $2.000 for relurnlnc the dead
soldiers , but I nm not In favor of appropriat
ing $8,000 for the soldiers , ns I bcllcvo thla
U an insult to our government.
f
Detweller I nm ns lo > al ns any member

Unworthy of their fealty did It nol provide
for the return of the dead aoldlots to thlg
country. There nro provisions I cannot ap
prove In the bill 1 theteforo vote no.
Hellers My ajmpaUilcs nro with the bravo
Nebraska bovs who have gene forth to do

The bojs who nro doing service In Cuba
nro as deserving of our lecognltlon ns those
who are doing similar set vice In the Philip

should bo returned to their friends ns well
ns those who fall In battle In the Philip

Prince I nm In favor of the spirit of this
bill , but cannot vote for the same , ns I
do not consider that there nro sufficient
guarantees 111 this bill that the money will
not bo diverted from the ptu poses Intended.
I therefore vote no

The committee which has had in charge
the petition calling a caucus with an op
tional ballot has abandoned the task , hav
ing only been able to secure fifty-five sig
natures. The republican members who de
clined to sign were : Alexander , Anderson ,
Devorly , Barton , Burman , Burns , Dltmar ,
Fisher , Grafton , Harkson , Israel , Jones ,

Smith of Saline , Talbot nnd Clark.
The movement In the Joint session todov
for an afternoon session with continued bal
lots for senator was favored 'by ' the Haj-
vvard men and It was clearly ihelr ideate
to utilize the joint session as a caucus with
an open ballot. When the motion was
made an amendment was Immediately of
fered that the Joint session do now adjourn
over to tomorrow. It took n rising vote
to decide this and It was noticed that the
only members now voting for Hayward who
were against nn afternoon session vvero
Prout , Smith of Richardson and llathorn.
Most of the fuslonlsts voted for adjourn
ment.
Tonight the lobby was ready to elect a
senator only It was ns badly divided as the
members nnd lacked the opportunity to voto.
There lias been n rush of outsiders Into
town , but all to no purpose , as the situation
Is unchanged.
There was a rumor circulated this after
noon tht D. R Thompson had withdrawn
from the race , but this Is denied. The Hayward -
ward people say tonight they will continue
to circulate the caucus petition nnd will bo
able to got moro names. There Is also n
move on foot for the signers of the petition
to get together nnd proceed to nominate n
candidate for whom all will vote in the Joint
session , but there Is eomo doubt that this
can bo effected until the Blxty-Boven slgneia
are secured.

TCOUMSCH , Neb. , Feb. 21. ( Special Tel
egram. ) Now impetus was given the trou-
llo In the Catholic church hero today , when
tbo priest In charge became Indignant at UK
treatment accorded him by the Board ol
Trustees and took tbo settlement of nn In
cidental dispute Into bis own hands to UE
unwarranted extent.
Upon retiring Rev. Thomas Corcoran ,
from this charge Bishop Ilonacum Installed
Rev. Frederick Spcrllen , harmony seemed tc
prevail In the congregation to a considerable
extent and all seemed willing vvhllo await
ing the finding of Iho supreme court as re
gards the possession of the church property
to hold services in the church. The old
Board of Trustees , which was serving at the
outset of the trouble , was In possession ol
the property and Father Spcrllen was given
a key to the church , but not to the parson-
age. > At the regular annual election of offi
cers held last Sunday the old Board ol
Trustees was ro-eloctod , to the dissatisfac
tion of Spcrllen.
The priest waxed quite warm at the meet
ing and It Is Bald announced hU Intention
of resigning the pastorate and leaving the
city. Accordingly one of the trustees
barred the door , to which ho held a Kej
from the Inside. Upon finding himself
locked out loday and bolng denied admis
sion by the trustee mentioned , Father Spcr
llen took an axe nnd smashed In the door to
the church and thus gained entrance , Some
members of the church scorn to differ re
garding the affair , some upholding the ac
tion of the trustee , while otuora sanction
thoco ot the priest.

The close relation between heart trouble

Poor digestion aluo poisons the blood ,

The merit sensible 'treatment ' for heart
