LINCOLN , March 59. ( Spcctnl. ) An a re
sult of the action taken by the members of
the republican caucus last night the senate
this morning decided to take upon Itself
name Investigation of several of the state
offices In compliance with demands that their
methods be delved Into. Olflert of Cumins
offered the following motion :
Mr. President. I move that the penate
appoint an Investigating committee
consisting of Senators Prout , Van
Dusen and Hocke. whoso duty
It shall be to Investigate the affairs
and condition of the following state officials
and their offices so far as relates to ofllclnl
duties and conduct , to-wlt :
The Judges of the supreme court , the
secretary of state , state treasurer , the comI
mlssloner of public lands and buildings , and
governor. Including the time of ex-Governor
Holcomb's terms.
That said committee be and hereby Is
empowered to send for papers and persons.
to administer oaths to witnesses , to have
access to any and all books , vouchers , papers
and any documentary evidence held or In
the custody of any of said officials or In their
ri-'Spectlve offices.
That said committee be authorized lo em
ploy a stenographer to assist It In pre
serving the testimony and preparing Its re
port nnd findings.
That said committee shall sit In vacation
and report Its dolnwi and findings In writIng -
Ing within 120 days hereof to the governor.
I'llftlniilNtn Uppoxc.
The fuslonlsts wore all on their feet at
once in opposition to the motion. Spohn of
Nuckolls wanted It made a special order
for tomorrow at 10 o'clock , referring to the
previous refusal of the senate a few days
ago to appoint a committee to Investigate
the supreme court. They suspected this was
"buncombo" gotten up for the purpose of
protecting the judges of the supreme court.
Spohn's motion did not carry , and Farrell -
rell of Mcrrlck moved that the motion be
laid upon the table.
The minority did all the talking upon the
Glfieri motion , the republicans having done
their talking in caucus last night , when they
arrived at the conclusion that the Investiga
tion should be had.
The charges of tampering with the re
count ballots two years ago , Including the
York county frauds , came In for due con
sideration , so the office of the secretary of
state was Included , It being alleged that
there -was tampering with < the ballots while
in Its possession.
While the fuslonlsta favored investigation
In their talks , still they were against this
"eleventh hour" attempt to do It.
When they had finished their say the chair
put the motion and the motion to lay on
the table did not carry , after which the
motion was adopted and the committee
created.
Antl-Trnut Illll.
It was asserted last night 'by ' those push
ing II. n. 331 , the McCarthy anti-trust bill ,
that twenty-five senators had agreed to ad
vance the bill to third reading this morning
and that the opposition had been cornered
While they were not exact in their pre
dictions , an attempt was made this morning
to advance the bill to the head of the gen
eral flic. Senator Spohn started the fun by
offering a motion that the sifting committee
be "requested" to advance the bill to the
liead of the general flle.
The reason the motion wns framed In tha' '
language was apparent. They did not e
the necessary twenty-two votes to suspend
the rules end advance the bill over the sift
ing committee. It was asserted the objec
was to place the members on record.
Senator Talbot opposed the motion , be
cause the senate had appointed a sifting
committee to advance such bills as were o
the most interest to the people. He snl <
si few members had requested that this bll
be advanced , but more had requested the
opposite. He said , the farmers of the state
who did business at South Omaha -were re
questing that the bill te defeated. Outside
of ono p rsiste.nt lobbyist , be said , there wane
no demand for the < btll. Tnat lobbyist had
threatened dlro revenge upon those whc
dared oppose the measure , so he understood
Senator Crow cited a decision of Judge
Munger in The Betin which he had heli
the South Omaha Stock exchange was no
a trust. He said the courts had alread )
adjudicated the matter , and the advance
ment of this bill now would only result Ir
taking up the senate's tlmo upon a bill tha
was attempting something the courts hac
already declared not within Its provisions.
He also touched up the farmer lo bbyls
-who Is engineering the 1 > lllt saying he coul
prove that the assertion bad been made tha
n stock company was already organized t
begin business at South Omaha on the pas
nage of this bill , and that the senators wh
favored the bill would be given stock whlc
the promoters would buy at Its full cas
value.
Currlo WnntM Proof.
Currle of Cu&terwanted him to prove It.
Senator Crow said he bad the pfoof , bu
did not want to infer that : he believed an
of the members of the senate bad accepte
stock In the concern.
The farmer lobbyist referred to Is sal
to be a man named Coullrln , who has bee
here during the session In the Interests o
the bill. He asserted last night he ha
( been offered J50.000 to go to California an
ntay five years. Ho also stated he had
paper on his Inside pocket signed by twenty

A Hntlonnl llciiirilj for \utlonn
Trouble ,
To say that hemorrhoids or the disease
commonly known as piles Is a national dl
fease may be slightly overdrawn , but It I
quite certain , that at least one in every fou
persons is so afflicted.
Because It Is common and not immediate !
fatal many suffer for years without glvln
the trouble any medical attention.
Moreover , the rather general Impresslo
that a surgical operation IB the only cure
lias much to do with delaying attention un
til the disease becomes deep seated an
chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that th
J'yramld Pile Cure Is better than a eurglca
operation , It cures without pain , it cause
no detention from buslne&i and the cost I
trifling , all druggists selling It at 50 cent
per package.
The astringent effects of the acldg In th
Pyramid Pile Cure speedily contracts and re
etores to their natural condition the bloo
vessels of the affected parts , and as It quick
3y dissolves In the rectum , the remed
teethes and heals the Irritated surfaces'
these two things ure the only necessary re
qulrements for a cure.
The principal danger from piles Is th
liabilities to chronic ukeratlon of the reel :
tissue , and nervous exhaustion from lots °
tleep and attendant pain and irritation. A '
thece symptoms the Pyramid quickly rellevi
end the fact that It Is the meet popula
and widely sold of any pile cure Is quit
conclusive evidence of thorough merit. 1

five members who asreed to adrnnce the
bill to third reading and passage tod&r
Senator Currle favored the motion of S nn-
tor Spohn. He tald he disliked being dis
courteous to the sifting committee , hut thin
was a bill he bellevsd there was ft popular
demand for nnd he would like to see It
poned. He said he had Introduced a similar
I bill In the senate , and bad consented to Its
I postponement In order to give this bill right
of way. as It had already pa sed the lewer
branch. ,
Fowler of FlUmore opposed anything that
seemed discourteous to the sifting commit- '
tee. whom the tenate had Intrusted wltn
power to decide which were the right bills ,
to advance. '
Hannibal of Howard opposed the monopoly
of this commission business anywhere. The
bill did not mention South Omaha , but wag
drawn to cover the whole state. He thought
It was a meritorious measure , and If the
courts had already decided the South Omaha
exchange wns net n trust , why the friends
of the exchange ought not to fear or fight
this bill. The following was the vote on
'
the motion :

Schaal of Sarpy offered a motion that the
employes of the senate , twenty-two In num
ber , be allowed pay for the five days In
January that the senate was not In session.
The majority could not see -why the com
mittee on accounts and expenditures should
lave this matter taken out of their hands.
The committee had met with all employee
early In the session and they bad agreed
upon these matters. They could not see
why the employe * at this late day In the
session should want to override the agree
ment then made and characterized It OB an
attempt on their part to make "a small
raid on the public treasury. " The amount
nvolved was about $325. Several of the
employes disclaimed any desire for the ad
ditional pay and said the resolution was
not at their instigation.
Senator Schaal dn support of his motion
said that upon January 21 the senate adopted
the plan of paying the employee for elx
days' work a week , whether the senate was
In session or not , and that he believed in

not received pay.

the Myers bill providing for compulsory
education , he advanced to third reading.
His motion prevailed and the bill was
passed.
Schaal of Sarpy moved that H. R. 517
be advanced to third reading. He said the

locating the boundary line between Douglas
and Sarpy counties. His motion carried
and the bill was passed by a vote of 20 to 0.
H. R. 155 , which relates to Irrigation and

LINCOLN. March 29. ( Special Telegram. )
Tcday being the last day for house bills
to g"t throueh In time to pass the senate
the new bill suggested by the governor In
his special message died In the hands of
the Judiciary committee. There was n strong
feeling against the bill last night and It
! was recommended to save Its life. Today
| ] the committee made two efforts to obtain
j unanimous consent to get the bill before
I the house , but both times there were ob-
| jectlons. Mr. Cawthra flrat being the leader
In opposition to the consideration of the
measure. This afternoon , when the house
adjourned without holding an evening ses-
| sion. the governor's hill was still in the
)
! hands of the committee and all hopes of Its
[ j passage vanished. It was a matter of gcn-
| ] eral comment that th > , tremendous lobby
i j that was working for the passage of this
i compromise bill was what led to so many
i members opposing it.
J
I The report of the committee appointed
! to investigate the supreme court may coine
, in tomorrow. It is quite probable that the
i ! report will contain a simple statement of
{ i the facts , showing that the members of the
court employed relatives to assist them in
the work and that the assistants did the
work for which they were paid. The report
may contain a criticism of the practice of
officials employing relatives , but this will
strike republicans and fuslonlsts alike.
I The report on the Investigation of the
auditor's office may not be In until1 Friday.
. It Is certain now that thisreport will state
the findings of the committee as to the
manner in which the auditor's office was !
j conducted , with severe criticism leveled nt 1
i the auditor and some of his office force.
I The employment of the examiners , whom
I ' the auditor knew were "holding up" the

TAXPAYERS FILE PROTEST
the Governor o Veto the Hill
Allotvlnc Hoaril of Education to
FIT I Ovrii Tax Ievy.
LINCOLN , March 29. ( Special Telesram )
House roll 240 , the Detweller bill to In
crease the taxation powers of the Board of
Education In Omaha , Is now In the hands of
the governor and a strong fight Is being
made against it by some of the larger prop
erty owners of Omaha who are asking the
governor to veto the bill. Their argument
Is that the school board Is extravagant in the
payment of salaries and other matters , and
that retrenchment instead of Increase In
taxes Is what is needed. Those who favor
the bill are also sending in their arguments.
The governor will not act before Saturday
noon , giving both sides a chance to be
heard.
