LINCOLN, Jan. 22. (Special.) When the
ftjRlonlcts had complete control of both
branches of tho legislature six years ago
they did some gerrymandering In the con
gressional districts to strengthen their
party. The republicans this winter miy
glvo the fuslonlsts a doeo of their own
medicine In the gerrymandering business.
Thoy will at least undo tho gerrymander
ing dono by the fuslonlsts six years ago.
Of cotirfc, Just what will bp dono In regard
to tho changing of congressional districts Is
In tho air and will remain so until tho
changes contemplated enn bo fixed up In a
satisfactory manner, but It's not n wild
guess to predict that many changes will bo
made. The greatest trouble will be en
countered In arranging the districts and the
mombers of the senato and house who aspire
to represent tholr constituents In congress
at some future tlmo will vigorously opposo
any measure which would place them In a
hopelessly fusion district, thus sounding
their political deathkncll, so far as going to
congress Is concerned. This Is ono objec
tion which wilt bo raised to a hill Introduced
by Benator Von llosklrk of Alllanco this
morning. Tho bill was drawn up by J. C.
rottljohn of Valentine. It would glvo tho
republicans four sure districts, another In
which they would havo much the better of
tho fuitlonlsia, whllo the Third would bo the
only district from which the fuslonlsts
would bo suro of electing a congressman,
anil for this reason aspiring young republic
una who nro left In this fusion stronghold
am certain to object to any such arrange
ment. From tho Third district It Is pro
posed to tako Hurt, Thurston, Dakota,
Dixon, Wayne, Cedar, Knox, I'lerce, Madi
son and Antelope, with a total republican
plurality of 373, and ndd to the district Val
ley, Orecley, Howard and Sherman, which
faro taken from tho Sixth and which last
year gavo a fusion plurality of over S00.
tho Idea being to mako thn Sixth a suro
republican district by sacrificing tho Third,
whlrh at tho present tlmo Is not consid
ered hopelessly fusion.
Will lllsplrnsp Jlnnr.
Tbo bill proposes to leave Stanton, Cum
ing and Howard In this strong fusion dis
trict, and for this reason It is unto to pre
dict that Buch stalwart and nsplrlng young
republicans as Senators Young of Stanton
and Oleson of Cuming, neither of whom
would bo avcrso to going to congress, will
opposo tho bill. Such nn arrangement Is
not likely to please A. K. Cndy of Howard
county, as well as n number of others who
will not core to bo placed In tho Third dis
trict ns proposed. Tho proposition, how
ever, would bo looked upon with favor by
the remainder of tho big Sixth district, not
withstanding tho fact that tho claim Is
innilo that tho Sixth will elect a repub
lican two yearn henco without any change.
In tho First district tho only chango sug
gested Is to tako Seward county, which Is
fusion by something more thnn 100, out
of tho Fourth nnd pl.ico It In tho First,
thus helping out tho Fourth, nt present u
fusion district, without placing the First
In any danger.
In tho Sccoud district, now composed of
Douglas, Karpy and Washington, It Is pro
poeed to add Dodge, which Is fusion by only
about 100, nud get rid of Sarpy,, which-rolls
up a fusion plurality of nearly 300, by plac
ing It In tho Third district, nnd by this
chango n republlcun gain of 200 would bo
made for the Second district.
Aim nt Ntitrk'N Sculp.
Tho Fourth district Is also to bo remod
eled on n very broad scale, n plan which
Is destined to cause Hon. Mr. Stark somo
restless nights. Tho only counties out of
tho cloven of which tho district Is now
comprised which are to be retained nro Sa
line, (Jage, Jefferson, Thayer, Flllmoro nnd
York. Sownrd Is placed In the First, whllo
Saunders, Duller, Folk and Hamilton are
donated to thn Third, which Ir made a reg
ular dumping gruuud for counties with pop
ullstlc tendencies. In return for tho flvo
counties thus taken from tho Fourth, tho
counties of Clay, Nuckolls, Webiiter, Adams
nud Franklin, all from tho Fifth district,
uro given and by tbo change It Is said that
the Fourth will bo permanently republican,
br will every other district except tho
Third.
It Is very likely, however, that thn bill
beforo It becomes a law, will bo burdened
with many amendments, so many, In fact,
that It will hardly bo recognized ob thn
original mcusuro.

LINCOLN, Jnn. 22. (Special Telegram.)
The senate committed on public lands an

tences are at work entirely nt variance

Cntiptm (ioHnlp.
Pressure for n caucus Is being renewed
by the Thompson following, who assert that
they havo more than forty-five names to
their 67-48 caucus paper. A new sug
gestion was Injected by a member of tho
hlrd houso today who' unbosomed himself
n this fashion:
"Thompson says ho wants a caucus to
proceed at onco to nominate one senator
t a time. Ho nlso says he Is a candldato
for tho short terra only and Infers that
he short term senator would be made first.
Now, If ho Is really In earuest for making
one senator at a time and means what he
saays about wanting tbo abort term, why
can't bo agree to let them make the long
erm senator first and hold his own can
didacy aloof until tho North Platte man Is
hoscn? If his proposition to elect himself
first Is as fair as Thompson claims, then
tho proposition to elect tho other fellow
first Is certainly Just as fair. Why not
try It?"
Of course, Mr. Thompson has not yet
seen fit to selzo upon the Idea. In tho
meanwhile tho members who nro studying
tho situation critically are seeing moro
and moro that tho only caucus plan fair to
nil Is that requiring simultaneous nomina
tion.
Another "Informnl" Conference1.
A conference attended by about forty
members who nro friendly to Thompson,
Mclklejohn or Currlo was held tonight,
at which conditions for n senatorial caucus
wero discussed nt length. Nothing def
inite was agreed upon, but It was Iho pre
vailing sentiment that both nominations
fhould bo mado simultaneously. Under tho
call provlously circulated for this meeting,
nnd which had nbout forty-live signers, the
conforees wero to determine the conditions,
but notwithstanding this messengers wero
kept busy consulting with Mr. Thompson
relative to propositions advancod, and theso
messengers kept the conferees advised as
to his wishes.
Another meeting will bo held tomorrow
cvonlng nnd In tho meantime efforts will
bo mado to obtain additional signers to tho
call, which simply provides for nn attend
ance of slxtv-seven members, with forty-
eight to nominate.
Upwards of a scoro of members who are
opposed to tho slnglo nomination plan nlso
held a meeting tonight nnd discussed ways
for obtaining a crucub on conditions nearly
llko thoso named In tho other call, but
with tho understanding that tho double
ballot system U used In tho voting.
Jnkrr In Clunrctte I'iii'Iiukc
Tho passage by the houso of a bill Im
posing n heavy special license, tax on ciga
rette dealers yesterday precipitated a most
ludicrous spectacle. Tho bill, so the story
goes, was Introduced at the procurement
of tho lobby, perhaps with or without tho
knowledgo of the eminent legislator who
fathered It, with no Intention whntevcr of
having It enacted Into law. It went to tho
Judiciary committee, which with unex
pected hasto reported It buck favorably for
passage beforo tho bill's real sponsors had
tlmo to get their second breath. Hopro
scntatlvo Murray, a fuulonlst from Thurs
ton county, whoso name appears on tho
mensuro ns It camo from tho printer, saw
no other alternative but to get up nnd make
a play for It In committee, of tho whole
starting such n furore In Its behalf that It
literally broko away from Its coupling and
shot down tho track llko a wild cngtnn.
Three or four friendly Indians tried to put
on brakes, but the gearing was rusty and It
never stopped till ordered to n third read
lug on Its passage. Tho Cigarette trust
will now hnve to supply tho shoo leather
that will have to bo worn nut chasing It
down to tho senate end of tho capltol
structure, nnd tho lobbyists who did the
work, or who, by the wny. aro said to be
pretty closo to the top of tho fusion ma
chine, will count ono more lesson taught
In tho school of experience.
Tho university regents hnvo had printed
In pamphlet "form for legislative lnspcc
Hon their regular report, together with n
"gencrnl survey" of tho Institution designed
to back up their estimates for approprla
Hons for tho coming blennlum- Notwith
standing tho fact that during the last two
years the unlvsrslty hus had nearly $500,-
000, or almost $200,000 moro than for, the
same period Just preceding, tho regents
mako out tho same cuse of dlro need nnd
Insufficient resources that has been pro
sented to every succeeding legislature nnd
couch their estimated demands in the mod
est request for an appropriation of $615,500
or moro than twice what wns given when
tho board was under republican control
Tho I'ontlnunnco of tho special 1-mlll tax
lnvy Is regarded as a matter of course nnd
tho outlays In view aro carefully figured
to tako up overy cent, not only of tho pro
ceeds of this tnx, but also of tho returns
from the unlvorslty fund endowment and
dividends on tho federal distribution of
agricultural collego aid. Tho regents add
naively that "following tho policy outlined
two years ago tho regents ank for no ap
proprlattons outsldo of tho university funds
as now created by general statutes, state
and national," although they forgot to say
that this Is an after thought reached after
rescinding n request for still $75,000 more
which they had decided to ask appropriated
out of tho general fund and which wns
dropped only on the firm protest of tho re
publican members of tho board against the
proposed extrnvagance.

tion nnd reading of new bills occupied the
attention of tho house of representatives
this morning. At tho Bfternoon session
ouo bill wns considered In tho committee
of tho wholo nnd recoinmcndod for pnsaago,
leaving only two bills on tho general file,
both of which wero Inld over until tomor
row becauso of tho nbsenco of tho Intro
ducers, who had previously expressed a
dcBlro to bo present when they aro taken
up.
Tho bill recommended for passago was
Introduced by McCarthy of Dixon, and ro
lates to exemption of property, strength
ening existing laws on this subject.
Spenkcr Sears this afternoon suggested
that tho houso hereafter hold only morn
ing sessions, thus giving the afternoons
ovor to thu committees. He Bald tho legla
lature of Iowa had followed this plan dur
tng several sessions, resulting In tho dis
position of moro business then when two
sosslons were held dally. Ho thought tho
committees would bo nblo to keep up with
bills ns fast as they are Introduced, If thoy
wero given nil of each afternoon for com
mlttco work.

Tho number of women who consider

This class of peoplo do not think
they nood to tako medicine. Indeed,
they dread to begin tnklng mcdlolno
