THE OaiAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, FKBHUART 10, 3 001. 3 FIGHT IS ON OSTEOPATHY Dccton of Old Bohool Appear in Opposition to the Bill, SENATE COMMITTEE HEARS OPINIONS Follower of 3Te-rr Practlco Inalat Upon Tliolr Itlslita Con teat Ooei Over to an Open SeaMon. LINCOLN', Feb. 18. (Special.) Interest In legislative circles today centered In tho Lcnate commlttoo on medical societies, tthlch met tor tho purpose of listening to a discussion .on tho merits and demerits at senate file 102, a bill permitting tbe prac tice of osteopathy In the stato of No branka. Tho commlttoo room was crowded with on cagor. throng ot Interested specta tors, among whom were many practlcloners ot both tho regular nnd ostaopMhlo schools, well as halt a hundred medloal stu dents. The discussion between the two fac tions was spirited nt times and consider able sarcasm was Indulged in. Tho bill provides that "any person hold ing ft diploma from a shool or collego of osteopathy In good standing shall, upon presentation of such diploma to the Btato Hoard of Health of Nebraska, be granted by such board n certificate permitting such person to practice osteopathy In tho stato of Nebraska, upon payment to said board of n fco of $10. which certificate shall be recorded by tho county clerk, of the county In which the holder desires to practice, for which said county clerk shall receive a fee of $1. "The term school or college of oste opathy In good standing shall bo defined as a legally chartered osteopathic school or coltege, requiring beforo admission to Its course ot study a preliminary examination In all the common branches. It shall fur ther rcqulro as requisite tor granting the degree of diptomato or doctor In os teopathy an actual attendanco at such os teopathic school or college of at least twenty months, or four terras of five months each, Its course pt study to Include anatomy, physiology, physiological chemistry, toxicology, histology, hygiene, pathology, symptomatology, physical diag nosis, obstetrics, gynecology, medical Juris prudence, osteopathic therapeutics and the ory and practice of osteopathy and espe cially requiring clinical Instruction In tbe principles and practlco of osteopathy of not less than four hours per weekj tho last ten months ot Its course and having a full faculty of professors to teach tho studies of Its course Tho foregoing requirements shall be regularly published In each pros pectus or catalogue of such osteopathic rchool or college. Tho certificate provided for shall not authorize the holder thereof to prcscrlbo or uso drugs In his or her prnctlec, nor to perform operative surgery. Tho board may revoko certificates of per sons guilty of unprofessional or dishonora ble conduct; provided always, tbat they havo glveu the person nn opportunity to be hrnrd In his or her defense." Tho cause ot the osteopaths was first pre sented to tho commtttco by Dr. Little, Lin coln osteopath, who has several times been u rrcatcd for the practlco ot osteopathy. Ho claimed tho friends of osteopathy were asking for nothing but Justice Tholr treat ment could result In no harm and It had been proved that much good had resulted 'herefrom. Dr. LUtIo was followed by Prof. C. W. roctor, a member of tho faculty of the Klrksvllle School of Osteopathy, who dis claimed any Intention of antagonizing tho medical fraternity. He said osteopathy was recognized In nearly all ot tho surrounding stntos.and thoro was. need of'such, recogni tion In Nebraska. Dr. Ci'uramer, who holds a chair In the Crclghton Medical college, appeared In bohalt of the practitioners of medicine. Ho thought a practitioner could not know tho much of his protestiton and be did not think the two years' courso of study prescribed by tho school of osteopathy was sufficient. Students of tho regular school were required to study four years beforo being granted a Jlploma. The present standard, he urged, should not bo lowered. Dr. A. P. Jones, professor of surgery In tho Omaha Medical college, said tho ttato could not bo too careful In making laws rogulatlng practitioners. In his opinion osteopathy was nothing more than the massage treatment, or Swedish move ment. Prof. Ward of tho State university and Dr. Georgoialso spoke. Dr. Crummer Bald tho law should be amended so that nn examination should bo required, no matter from what school the applicant held a diploma, whereupon Dr. Littlo said tho osteopaths would accept (lich a law If they could be convinced that this was not nlmply n move to kill the present bill and then not accomplish any thing. The bill was discussed two hours, but beforo the committee reached any conclu sion the members were sent for by the genate and the bill was reported to tho gen eral fllo without recommendation, thus piac Ing tho matter where It can be brought out on the floor of tho senate.

Twelve witnesses, most of whom wero eye-witnesses of tho deed, were exam ined. Their testimony was clear nnd con clusive ns to the guilt of tho accused. Tho verdict was In part as follows: "That tho Bald Ella Clark, commonly known ns Ella Frampton, came to her death from the effects of wounds Inflicted upon her head with n double-barrelled shot gun In tbe hands of one Hall Frampton, thereby causing her death." The Jury was composed of prominent business men of the city. There is much feeling against Frampton among the col ored people of the city, although It Is Im probable that nny move toward violence will bo attempted. Sevoral well known col ored men from nearby towns arrived thiti evonlng and have expressed themselves In strong terms as to the punishment thnt should be meted out 'to the prisoner. Frampton seems somewhat concerned for his safety, PLEADS GUILTY TO FORGERY Kd Penu to lie Sentenced I.ntrr In the Week with William Oxlcy. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Feb. 18. (Special Telegram.)

MORE DEBATE ON "EXTRAVAGANCE" Sundry Civil Hill's Consideration in spire Mr. Cannon to DUclinrRO Hot Shntn nt the Ivoononi Icnl Minority. WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. The bill to au thorize tho holding of the International ex position in celebration of the centennial an niversary of tho Ixiulslana purchase at St. Louis In 1903, and appropriating $5,000,000 therefor, passed tho house today under sus pension ot tho rules, 191 to 41. The opposition was hopelessly In tho minority and tho struggle over the bill was brief. Tbe question of closing tho exposi tion on Sunday was not mentioned during tho debate. Tho bill to define the word "conspiracy" in tho Sherman anti-trust law to avoid tho possibility ot Its being held appllcnblo to labor organizations was defeated by almost n two-thirds voto on account of two amend ments which tho Judiciary committee placed on tho bill; Cannon nn Appropriations, Tho sundry civil bill was under consider ation late In the day, and Mr. Cannon, chairman ot the appropriations committee, undertook to make a detailed stntemcnt of tho expenditures ot tho present congress. Ho was led to this, he said, by many criti cisms ot tho reckless extravaganco of this congress. Tho situation, ho said, was quite bad enough without exaggerating It. He figured that tho appropriations would total 5004,158,550, exclusive of the sinking fund requirement of S53.000.000, ngalnst 1057,150, 862 for tho current year. In tho course of his remarks ho fired some hot shots nt the minority for prating of economy nnd not helping to uphold the hands ot himself and others when they wero trying to keep ap propriations down. When tho exposition bill was taken up tho local committee from St. Louts and a delegation from the Women's Christian Temperanco union, who are. lntorested In having tho bill amended so ns to provide for tho closing ot the exposition on Sunday nnd to prohibit tho sale ot liquors on the grounds nlso, were In tho gallery to watch the fight. Immediately after tho reading of tho Journal, Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the special committee on tho Louisiana Purchaso exposition, moved tho passage under suspension of 'tbo rules of the bill appropriating J5.000.000 for tho ex position." TaVvney Ilniinia the Show. Mr. Tawnoy dilated on tho great and overshadowing Importance of, the event which this proposed exposition was to cele brate, calling attention to the fact that of all expositions held In this country congress had authorized but two the Centennial celebration nt Philadelphia and the exposi tion at Chicago to commemorate the 400th anniversary of tho discovery of America. Congress, ho said, had. only provided for Its own exhibit at other expositions. The magnitude of the "event to be celobrated at St. Louis made It proper that congress shculd nuthorlze It. Miiddnx Onpoaea IIIU. Mr. Maddox of Georgia opposed the bill. Ho said ho did not Imagine his opposition would avail. "It ought not to," crlod Mr. Tawney, "In vlow of the contract wo made at tho last session." "I want to talk about other contracts Just as binding," replied Mr. Mnddox, and proceeded to recall the manner In which Mr. Cannon, chntrmnn of tho appropriations committee, wns fighting honest claims. ' "Moreover, ho said, "there woro to be no public buildings authorized by this con gress on account of tho growth of expendi tures. Tho S3.000.000 which congress would glvo to a private enterprlBO by this bill," ho sold, "would build fifty necessary public buildings." He was anxious, ho said, to sco whero tho "watch dog of the treasury," Mr. Cannon, stood upon this bill. Mr. Sims of Tennessee, who followed Mr. Maddox, taunted Mr. Cannon with fighting honest claims of n few hundred dollars and then remaining quiescent when such a bill ns tho pending ono was beforo tho house. Ho declared that Mr. Cannon If he would exert his Influence could defeat this meas ure. Mr. Sims declared that no exposi tion bill was Justifiable. Ho nppealed to his democratic colleagues not to voto for tho pending measure. Ton I.nte to Hack Ont. Mr. Cannon said bo had consistently and persistently opposed such legislation. Ho agreed that exposition matters had run wild. But this bill was now upon a footing whero It could not bo disregarded. Ho referred to tho paragraph In tho sun dry civil bill ot tho last session. It had been placed In the bill by Senator Cock rell, a democrat, In the senate. Ho had opposed it with voice and voto, but It had becomo a Inw. St. Louis had complied with Its part of tho contract nnd tho government was obliged to comply also. He should, there fore, vote for tho pending bill. Tho St. Louis exposition bill passed the houso bv n voto of 191 to 41. The re sult was received with npplause.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18,-Xenrly the whole of today's session of the senato was dovoted to consideration of tho postofflce appropriation bill. So far as coramltteo amendments to tho measuro aro concerned tho bill practically was completed, although tho amendment appropriating $300,000 for an extension ot the pneumatic tubo service remains undisposed of. A point of order wns mado ngalnst it, but on the appeal of Mr. Mason of Illinois the entlro question was passed over until tomorrow. Only a few senators being in tho chambor when tho senuto convened, Mr. Pettlgrow suggested tho absence of n quorum. Forty fivo senators, a quorum, responded. In pursuance of previous notlco Mr. Pet tus of Alnbama addressed tho senato In opposition to tho ship subsidy bill, I'cttiin Si-ore the' Subaltl-. Mr. Pettus likened tho beneficiaries under tho subsidy bill to two attorneys who once had won In tho courts by questionable meth ods a noted caso Involving a largo amount of cotton. As tho two wero dividing the S5.000 feo one of them remarked gravely: "We nre not In danger of going to tho poor bouse, but aro wo not rubbing up ngalnst tho walls of tho penitentiary?" "The benellclurlos of thin bill," snld Mr. Pettus, "will never be In danger of tho poor bouse." (Laughter.) I'oaliimue Appropriation. The postofflco appropriation was then taken up on motion of Mr. Wolcott, chair man of tho committee on postofllces nnd post roads. As reported by tho senate ctrmmittcc, tho bill carried $121,308, OSS. Explaining tho committee amendment ap propriating S500.000 for the extension of tho transportation of mall by tho pneumatic tube system, Air. Wolcott said tho pro vision was practically tho aamo as that proposed In the last session of congress ex cept that It provided for tho continuation of contracts for pneumatic tube service, which, by limitation, expired July 1 next. Personally ho was opposed to the provision and naked therefore that one of the advo cates of Ihe provision take charge ot It. Mr. Butler of North Carolina offered u amendment reducing the sum appropriated for inland transportation ot mall by rail road routes from 134,700,000 to J32.000.000 and authorizing tho postmaster general to readjust tbo cost of carrying the malls over railroad routes and reduco It at least E per cent below tho figures mndo nt pres ent. Tho bill was thon laid nsldo for tho day. Tho Louisiana Purchase exposition bill passed by tho houso was laid beforo tho senate and referred. At 5:60, on motion of Mr. Wolcott, tho senato went Into executive session, nnd at 6 o'clock adjourned.

I endeavored to secure the remedy in Texas, but failed, and while at Guthrie, O. T., purchased several bottles, which I kept in my house. As to my own trouble, the first bottle did the work, and I am taking my three square meals per day without any of the bad results which had heretofore been bothering me.

Jap Rose, costs a dime. The difference is simple extravagance; for no cost or skill can produce a better soap than Jap Rose. o Kodo Dyspepsia Cure The process of digestion Is simply explained. In the mouth, food is masticated and mixed with saliva containing a dlgestant called ptyalin. In the stomach, it is acted upon by gastric juice containing pepsin, which digests nlbuminous foods. In the intestines, pancreatin is added to digest fats and starches. Indigestion always indicates an insufficient amount of one or all of thesedlgestants. At first thought it seems propor to abstain from foods not easily digested; but reflection shows us that while this affords relief by giving tho weakened organs less to do, it only makes them weaker by giving them less nourishment. If you suffer from indigestion, the only right thing to do is to eat a generous variety of food and digest It by using suoh a preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia Cdkb, which contains all tho known dlgcstants, and completely 'digests what you eat.
