Amor ft other enactments reeded, he point out the feet that there la ncthir.g In the stau'e bocks which gives fcli department JurLsdlc tlon of burial associations. Request 1 also made for legislation relating to feea. He makf-a the following comprehensive recommendations with regard to life in surance companies: I would iW'imriMil the enactment of a law which would pre, bit discrimination by life Insurance companies In favoi of InCi-vld-jals cf the ataie ciass and of the same expectation of life either lr. the imwr.t or the premium charged or In return of premi um, dividend or other ad vantage I would also recommend the enactment of a new law governing fraternal benefi ciary societies, aa the present law Is In adequate in many particular. It is also desirable that the law givernlr.g fraternal beneficiary societies should be aa near uni form a possible with the laws cf other states governing such societies. These recommendations are considered very significant In view of the fact tai there has been some agitation for the es tablishment of the fraternal congress rates by legislative enactment Mr. Pierce ex plained that bis main object was to point out the need for laws glvtr.g his department greater power in the regulation of such as sociations. He saJd that four or five old line com panies which are writing discriminatory contracts are aimed at In the first sugges tion. He says it Is against public policy for insurers to make contracts to indi viduals witk the same expectancy on dif ferent rates. Bessrt f Gasse Wardesu State Fish and Game Commissioner Carter has completed his biennial report to the gowsmor showing that during; the last blennlum the department ha cost II. i4.Ct for maintenance. During the same period the Income of the department was fli.S0.4l. leaving a net amount of CSK-iS to be contributed from the general fund In excels cf the amount turned over by the commission . The discrepancy Is due to the fishery at South Bend, which cost about t'.uO, without bringing- la much of a finan cial return to the state treasury. Mr. Carter estimates that the game protection department has turned Into the treasury CM) In excess of the cost of maintenance. During the biecnium the omdals of the department have made 178 arrests and se cured 142 convictions. Six cases were ap pealed by the defendant. Seven provided for jail sentences and In twenty-three cases there were acquitais. During; the same period the wardens made many r ays and captured seventy -six nets, which were destroyed; 250 other illegal devices, L4C prairie chickens, quail and ducks and SEO fish. Of the game bird, 7a were dis tributed to the charitable institution of the state, while & were distributed under the provisions of the federal laws by the I'nited States marshal at Chicago, who ronftscated a shipment to that city.

When the ex posure of the scheme appeared in the news papers they one and all agreed that their experience was well worth the price. Last week, however, each member of the 'Vuit club" in fnjon received a nice little letter fro'sa Omaha stating that the tailor ing concern had been misrepresented by the newspapers and that the Union member would each be gnven a suit of clothes as evidence that the concern was playing fair with them. Later the "suits" arrived, handsomely marked with shipping tags, and "express charges, 15 cer.t. collect " The boys were very anxious to show their suits, and opened the package In public: then they were sorry that they did. for the suits were old and dirty outfits of dilapidated pants, shirts, shoes and suswnde rs, and those present bad a tosbel of fun at the expense of the members of the 'suit club. It developed later that the notices of ship ment were prepared jn vr.ion and an ac commodating traveling man resembling SBert Hoag- mailed them In Omaha. The packing house cf the company had been temporarily in Union and the goods and packers were home products, even the shipping clerk, the editor of the Unioj, Ledger.

Gard ner of Gregory. 8. D.. and his bride, for merly Miss Ludle Lemp of Boise City. Idaho. The two young; people arrived over a delayed Union Pacific passenger train from the west and had contemplated being married at Norfolk when they arrived early In the evening. The tardiness of the train would bring them Into this city about midnight, too late an hour to secure an officer to perform a wedding cere mony, and they were desperately concerned lest they should be stranded, still unmar ried. The conductor and engineer appre ciated the plight and were willing to wait. So the paasenger train that runs between Norfolk and Cclumbus was halted at Hum phrey while the Idaho couple hurried to the Methodist parsonage and took the mar ital vows at a sixty-mile gait. The other passengers patiently waited, and congratu lated the bride and groom on their return. A half hour delayed, ths train sped on. Taylor Retires fresa Race. TABLE P.OCK. Neb.. Jan. a.- Special.)

The introduction cf Colonel Hepburn s bill to day fs aicr.g the line cf thee d.spatches. except that the date of Its ictroduct on was postpo-?ed by reason cf a desire on the part cf the attorney general to examine closely ime of its features. While it l entirely possible that the bill will pass the house, t-etause that is understood to be the prcgram. it will run against a very serious stumbling biock in the senate. The great railroad interests of the United States, recognising that they have the f.ght cf their lives cn their hands, have put forward their ablest men. The Inter state commerce committee ef the senate ha already indicated to the railroad rep resentatives that they will be heard an 1 engagement have been mad until Febru ary la for such hearing It seems thera fcre a most remote possibility that the Hepburn bill should ever get any further than the senate committee on interstate commerce. Among tbe brilliant railroad officials who will be heard next week by Senator El kin" committee is J. W. Blythe J, Burling ton. Just what day he will be asked to ap pear before the committee is cot known, but there are so many railway Interests to be heard that the interstate commerce committee of the senate will cn Monday ask leave to sit dunr.g the session cf the senate In order that everybody that desires to be heard may bave that privilege. Xorrl BUI Mlareareaeated. Representative Norris of the Fifth Ne braska district Is consideratly annoyed ever a misapprehension which seems to prevail In hi district reitlve to the bill which he recently introduced extending the tenure of office of president, vice president and members of congress and the election of senators by the people. According to his bill the president and vice pres.dent and senators shall be elected for terms of eight years and congressmen for four years, one senator ar.d members of t he lower house to be elected every four years. The misconception of his bill grows out of an article which appeared In newspapers printed In the South Platte country wherein it was stated that the Norris bill Increased the salaries of members of congress. Hav ing no Idea whatsoever along those lines. Judge Norris. who received a number of letters today from constituents asking In regard to his salary bill, feels annoyed that hi bill to amend the constitution ha been so misunderstood.
