LINCOLN, Feb. 2. (Special.) Under the
reapportionment of legislative districts each
32,000 people ot Nebraska will be entitled
to ono senator and three representatives.
The number of members will remain un
changed, but the representation will bo di
vided upon an nctual population basis,
which will probably decrease thu represen
tation of the eaBtern half of tho state and
Increase that of the western half. Kepro
sentatlvo Kvans of Lincoln county Is pre
paring to mako n strong fight In the house
In behalf of his section, and In tho upper
branch Senators Currlo and Van tlosklrk
will champion the Interests of tho great
northwest Tho letter's nearest colleague
In the senato lives 200 miles from Alliance,
his homo town, but tho various bills pend
ing consideration give that portion of the
state more representatives In tho upper
house.
Members of the legislature of 18D1 will
remcmocr tho valiant efforts made by tho
senators from the northwest to obtain an
Incrcaso In tho representation. A bill
which sultod tho section was Introduced,
recommended for passago by tho standing
committee, but on motion of William A.
I'oynter, then senator from lloono county,
was Indefinitely postponed Senator J. K.
Stovcns of the Thirtieth district, compris
ing Lincoln and adjoining counties, was one
of tho leading members In support of the
measure, and during tho roll call on tho
motion to postpone took advantage of an
opportunity to explain his voto and In un
qualified terms condemned tho attitude of
tho man who afterwards becamo governor.
Stevens' ArriilKiiiiirnt nf I'oyntrr.
"In tho name of tho good people of the
ntnta and for tho credit and fair name of
tho members of tho legislature of this proud
commonwealth I most solemnly and
earnestly protest against such actions being
taken by this body," said Senator Stevens.
"A plain and emphatic provision of the con
stitution makes It mandatory upon this
body tn district tho state this time for
legislative purposes, yet wo see n cringing,
unmanly disposition manifested upon tho
part of many to disregard tmcrcd obliga
tions which members of this body mado to
their constituents In nlmost every school
house during tho campaign. They tell us
business affairs compel thorn to adjourn
and hurry home. What Inordinate real tho
necluslon of homo has seized upon theso
honorable gcntlamcn. It legislation upon
this subject Is deferred, It will not only
be a del'borate Insult to many sections of
the ntato, but an otitrngo to many of our
people.
"The Thirtieth senatorial district com
prises an area nearly equal to one-sixth of
the state, with n population approximat
ing &0.000 people. Tho Fifty-fourth repre
sentative district comprises eleven counties,
with an approximate population of over
30,000 people, whllo Lincoln county alone
possesses n population which moro than
entitles her to n representative In tho lower
liouso. Anticipating tho result of tho mo
tion of Senator I'oynter of Iloone, I am very
decldodly of tho opinion nnd speak advis
edly when I say that a failure upon tho part
of this legislature to pass somo bill upon
this subject by which tho people may have
a fair representation will arouuso public
Indignation all over tho stato and tho
honorablo senator who may not bo nble to
glvo a bettor excuso than his anxiety to
adjourn, will not. In tho good tl-uo coming,
;rnce theso classic halls with his presonco
as a ropresentatlvo of the dear people. I
firmly bcllove that such action ns Is an
ticipated here will bo tho death knell of
my man who supports It."
Pojiitk Motion Carried.
Tho motion to postpone tho bill carried
by a Blight majority, several members re
fusing. to voto. This loft tho apportionment
of 1885 still In effect and tho legislature
of 1895 allowed It to remain unchanged, and
In conBequenco the state has had the same
representation for firteen years, notwith
standing tho constitution requires tho re
organization of districts once every flvo
yonrs.

Determined efforts nro btlng mado by
nfneers of tho Stato Library association to
securo the passage of a bill providing for a
system of public traveling libraries. A
mensum with this object In vlow, and con
templating an appropriation of $8,000, has
boon Introduced In tho bouso by Ilrown of
Otoo cotnty. Tho proposed bill provides
for tho foi motion of a stato circulating
library, from which any town In Nebraska
can borrow 25, 50 or 100 volumes at a time,
This stato library would bear the same ro
tation to a town that tho town public li
brary docs to Us Individual patron, except
that tho stato library would loan by fifties
and to communities. When one lot of books
Is returned the town can receive another
lot on the samo terms.
New York state appropriates a large sum
yearly for a eystem of traveling libraries.
Michigan, Montana and Iowa have passed
similar laws, whllo Massachuietts. New
Hnmp'hlre and several other eastern stales
glvo through their library commission a cer
tain sum to any town establishing a free
library. Tho bill now before the house has
tho opprovnl and support of tho State Li
brary association, the Nebraska federation
of Women's cli'bs, tho University Intension
committee and Individuals who arc Inter
ested In the educational advancement of the
state.
"It Is not possible to estimate approxi
mately the Influence which a collection of
books such as is proposed will have on n
community," said William U. Jlllson, presi
dent of the Stnte Library association. "Thu
mailer the community tho moro It Is cut
off from tho usual avenues of Improvement
and tho moro It stands in need ot a well
selected library Tho advantages of a free
traveling library nro very apparent. Any
village or community not able to form Us
own library can have from theso traveling
libraries a small collection of books con
stantly on hand. The books, when read
through by one ton!), will do Just as giod
service In another town. Small libraries
afrcady started, but too poor to keep up to
(lute, can Incrcaso their usefulness by bur
rowing from the state traveling library. The
Impetus given to reading habits will tend
toward the formation of permanent town
libraries. The bill also provides for a sta'.o
Ubrnry commission, whose duties will be
tho administration of tho systems of trav
ellnc libraries and the encouragement of
everything and expressed great surprise at
finding the institution In such excellent
condition. They found that all wards were
filled to tho limit and on learning the an
nual Increase of Inmates In the Hastings
asylum thoy all expressed themselves to the
effect that It was an absolute necessity that
a new wing be added to this Institution at
the earliest possible date. Several of the
members said that the Hastings asylum
was the cleanest, most orderly and best dis
ciplined stnte Institution they had ever vis
ited. The investigating committee consti
tuted the members of tho ways and means
committee of the senate, conitnlttco on

Poultry lloimtcil to llenth,
HASTINGS. Neb., Feb. 2. (Spcclal.)
Henry Chceium lost sixty chickens and a
good wagon by Are. Mr. Cheezum has for
years been going nbout the county buying
up poultry and this month he placed n
small stove In bis wagon to keep the fowls
Several years ago, while trying" to determine upon what work a young man
might enter, I sought Into many new und many old fields of thought. I found
nearly overy profession crowded, and all of the trades wore overflowing. It was
plnln that men wero needed to do certain things, but tho things that needed
most doing were not successfully accomplished. I thought to tnko up tho
ntudy of medicine, nnd did bo after wondering why thero wero threo distinct
Hchools of practice. I reasoned that If tho allopaths wero successful in their
claims there would bo no need of the homeopaths, and If they had proven that
with their Innntteslmnlly small doses they
could curo diseases tho oclcctlcn wero not
needed, nnd yet they existed. After con
Bldnrnble research I found that neither of
those Bchools were nblo In nil cases to fulfill
their claims that the world was tilled with
Invalids, lmbecllea and crlpplcw Just tho
namo. Laying asldo this study I hailed
with glad delight the flclenco of Osteopathy,
but found tho osteopaths as n claBs us nar
row and non-progresslvo ns wero the fol
lowers of the varlotiH schools of medlclno.
Tho oBteopnths wero curing Borne and kill
ing others. Later my attention was drawn
Into phychlo study, and tho Influenco of
suggestions over the nets and minds of
men, and I hegnn n rigid and sclcntlflo
study of Buggostlvo therapeutics.
This had taken up a dozen yearn of my
life, nnd I found myself In dlro need of
actually entering upon active work In somo
line, but I was, ns yet, Isolated so fnr as ft
profession was concerned. So I set about
to mnko n profession exactly to my liking.
I wanted one In which I could do good nnd
run no risk of doing harm to anyone. lit
courso of tlmo I evolved whnt I have chosen
to call "Magnetic Osteopathy," which 1h
a scientific combination of all tho better
elements found In tho various systems of
drugless treatment. I believe I have dem
onstrated to the world that we do actually
euro chronic diseases without medicine,
batteries, pills, powders, plasters, poultices
or surgery. I do not deny that such meth
ods may have their places, but they do not
enter Into our work. When n patient comes
to us "completely run down In health" we
Invariably restore him to n normal condi
tion by manipulating the nervo centers nnd
glands of his body bo ns to forco them to
resume their natural functions once moro,
nnd he most certnlnly regains full and com
pl.'tn bodily health.
Hundreds of sick and afflicted have been
cured bv my method when nil else had
failed. This ought to bo proof enough of
Itself, but a world full of "Mlssourlnns"
demand the how. whv nnd wherefore of It
all. And I also found that I would not bo
nble. alone, to cure nil the peop!o In a
single county, but that hundreds were com
ing from nil quarters of the country to bo
cared, and that others must bo taught this
noble science. For this purposo I estab
lished, two years ago. tho KhnraB School
of Mannetlc Osteopathv. I emnloy all my
prndiintes. but every person who takes up
this work must tlrst satisfy mo of his nr her
good moral character Thev work for mo
under annual contracts nfter thev complete
my very thorough course of study, and t
want no ono connected with mv work who
Is not honorable In every regard.
Later I found that there wero hundreds
who wanted treotment. but thev could not
leavo home, family or buslnes to come to Omaha to be cured, so I began a
system of open'ntr branch ottlces In vnrlous good-sized cities In the surround. ng
territory beginning first with Iowa nnd Nebraska, but graduuiy extending
our reach so ns to take In not only these two states, but the Dnkotus, Minne
sota. Montana. Wyoming". Colorado. Kansas nnd Missouri. In this way I am
ennbled to employ all tho good people I can get to tako tho study. (Qood men
and women ore somewhat scarce)
We have treated and cured patients who aimo from Now York and from
PROF. THEO. KHARAS,
Founder of the Science of .Magnetic Osteopathy
California, and have studentn from Michigan, Virginia nnd other dlfltnnt states,
but tho bulk of our patronage Is from tho Immcdlato surrounding states, Let
ters como to my secretary's dcBk every week from every state In tho union, nnd
we havo received over fifty from Canada within tho last threo months, yet wo
never do any foreign advertising. Most of them write to us becnuio they liavo
been asked to by somo friend who knows of our work or has been cured In ono
of tho different Institutions I nm conducting.
"Wo havo recently discharged ns cured n case of exophthalmlo goitre, some
thing long slnco pronounced absolutely In
curable by the medical profession. Ordt
nnry chronic diseases aro not considered as
serious troubles to euro by our treatment.
MIbb Eulnltii Maus of Martland, Noli., waa
cured of consumption In a few weeks,
Hho Is now sound and well, yet slut was
told by good physicians that she had a
very short tlmo to Hvo when sho loft homo
for Omaha. Her curo was considered as
something miraculous by her friends, but
I never thought of It as such. It was a.
mere matur-of-courso to us, for wo un
derstand how to do such tliliiKs--that's our
business. Other people can do things I
can't, nnd many do things I wouldn't, but
that's theli business. Mr. John A. Wetz
of Iloone, la , was cured of rheumatism In
tho right kneo which bad bothered hltn for
seven years. It only took two treatments
to euro him. Mr. W. A. I-gg was cured
of a bad caso of mjscular rheumatism by
two treatments given In our Jefferson (la.)
ofllce. Mr. M. McOtilro of fil3 South Six
teenth street, Omaha, wns cured of a long,
standing caso of rhcumntlsm In two or
threo treatments. Mr. J A I'ayne. a well
known capitalist of Hamburg, la., was
cured of piles by ono treatment, nnd ono
magnotlc-ost,'0iathlo treatment relieved
blm of a bad caso of writer's paralysis,
but those wero separate and distinct treat
ments' Somo people who think thoy know
