The farmers' ederator as "orations launched,
their f tht to secure concessions frr.m the
railroads In the bouw this morning;. Bom
man of Nuckolls dll this ' by introducing
II. R. 142, eompelllr.g; railroads to furnish
ears to shtprer or 17 demurrage charges
after forty-eight hour.
The promoters of this Mil are identicsl
with the backers of the Ramsey elevatnr
Mil of two years ago ana claim the. present
measure will be more effective than the
one defeated at the last session. The farm
ers are i:nlng tip In preparation for a
vigorous flght for Use MIL They came so
rear get Una: what they were after two
years asro that they are. emboldenei this
rear and will go In for all they are worth,
they say.
The Jemun-s;e charge irpM In this
hill U II t car for each days delay. In
addition to this charge the railroad Is
made liable for the damage suffered hy the
shipper. The bill is mandatory in Its terms.
anJ the railway representatives to whom
it was shown say mat tt onuses tnm io
furnish cars whether there Is a shortage
of rollffTg stock or not. Failure to supply
them admits of no excuse, whaterer, and
In each Instance the tl demurrage is
charged up at the option of the shipper.
R W. McOtnnisa of the Northwestern,
who read the Mil after Its Introduction,
stated that It would work a hardship on
the railways during th busy seasons when
it Is Impossible to keep up with the de
mands for rolling stock to transport freight
offered.
Tha 'railway men will make a Mg fight
.n the measure. The farmer members
claim that the railways have been dis
criminating against the farmers' ewnpanies
In supplying cars. Representatives who
have learned of the character of the meas
ure have expressed themselves In Its favor
and there are symptoms of the unanimous
movement which carried the Ramsey Mil.
row hung up In the courts, past the third
reading.
The clause which provides that the rail
ways shal" be liable for other damages
sustained by the shipper because of delay
may make the penalty much heavier than
the tl a day. depending on tha fluctuations
In the price of the commodities destined
fo shipment, during the period of delay.
The Mil does not provide any means for
the collection of the demurrage charges.
Th authors of the measure have been at
work on It for several weeks.

to 26. after recommending it for passage

seemed as If the bill was going to pass,

After the name of Bartoo of Valley had
been called two or three times without any
response, Jahnel of Washington arose and,
pointing to Bartoo who was In bis u.at,
said:
"Mr. Speaker, I see the gentleman from
Valley is present. Why does he not vote?"
Speaker Rouse then called attention to the
rule that members present must vote and
Bartoo voted.
Considerable speech-making preceded the
vote on the bUl. Voter led In the debate
for the MIL He said he represented as
large a farming section as any member,
that a majority of the farmers of his dis
trict were renters snd 'that they demanded
this MIL
JdcClay of Lancaster opposed the bill
because he said it was applying the laws
of old England to Nebraska.
Coats of Holt opposed it, saying If It
passed the renter would be tied up from
the time his leaee began until It ended
becauue the lien against his crop would
prevent him from selling anything.
MrMullen made an Impassioned appeal
for the passage of the bill. He declared
he was actuated by the best motives and
believed the bill to be a righteous measure
ar.d needed in Nebraska. Ills chief argu
ment was that the renting of farms is a
one-sided bargain at best, for the reason
that the landlord Is a responsible party,
while, nine times out ot ten, the renter
cannot be held liable for his part of the
contract. MrMullen pi ended with members
to be Influenced by sober Judgment and
not sentiment.
Voter In his appeal for tfca passage ef
the bill said:
"This Is not altogether a taoaat's fight
There are other elements at Work against
this bill beside the tenants and elements
which do not belong on this at alL"
In committee of the whole the house
recommended for passage H. R. . by Wind
ham of Cass, after much discussion. This
bill seeks to Increase tha number of su
preme court commissioners from three t
sis. Windham declared this step was
heeessary and that while he believed a su
preme court commission at best was a
makeshift, yet it was the only thing that
could now be done to reliee the conges
tion of court affairs.
McClay asked several questions on tbe
subject snd Perry of Furnas spoke for the
bill, taking the same grounds Windham
did. that It Was needed.
II. R. i by Barnes of Douglas, was
recommend-d for Indefinite postponement.
It sought to make it a misdemeanor for
a ptrsnn to malign or slander soother
person in public speech. When the time
for scti"n on the bill came Barnes arose
and Informed the house he had introduced
the measure by request and since looking
over the bill did not favor it. A knowing
snicker was Indulged in by certain other
members of the Douglas delegation snd
Clarke moved to kill the bill. Before this
motion was carried, however, Terry of
Furnas, said that he had understood there
was much merit to tbe bill and thought it
ought to receive Just consideration. Lee
of Douglas asked that the bill at least be
read.
These bills also were recommended for
passage:
H R- 28. by Perry To authorise a county
attorney to file complaint to warrant a
convirtion.
H. R. 33, by Foster of Douglas Imposing
a penalty of from one to five rears in the
penitentiary for Jury bribing.

ber of peremptory challenges In cases

AT St: LOUIS EXPOSITION. '
t pper Braarh Gets lato a Parliament
ary Tangle.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
IJS'COLN. Neb.. Jan. 4 (Special.)
Members of the senate got their feet tan
gled In the meshes of parliamentary law
this morning and while they struggled snd
floundered to get right, a gallery, fairly
silled with spectators, forgot senatorial dig
nity and roared with laughter. After trans
acting a small amount of routine business
the senate resolved itself into a committee
of the whole. A member moved that 8. F.
13 be recommitted to the Judiciary commit
tee. This carried. Another senator moved
that S. F. be recommitted to the Judiciary
committee. This carried. About the time
business began to boom. Meserve of Knox
informed the members that the committee
of the whole could not do this, but could
merely recommend. This opened up the
business again with the result that 8. F.
12 was sent to the Judiciary committee and
8. F. , the Juvenile court bill, was passed
over for the present to sllow the amend
ments sdopted to be printed.
It was right here that John Wall came
over from the house and created havoc
Mr. Wall had a message from the lower
branch of the legislature. Senator Frirs.
who was presiding over the deliberations
of the committee, evidently knew this from
the way Wall looked and he promptly
asked some member to move that the com
mittee rise so thst Wsll could report and
get back to work. A member made the
motion. It carried. President Jennings
took the chair, and Wall made his report.
Epperson of Clay then moved that the
annate resolve itself into a committee of
the whole. This carried and Epperson wag
called to the chair. He Is a large man
and was slow In moving. Before he had
fairly straightened out, Sheldon of Cass
broke in with a say:
"Mr. President, what about the report of
the other committee of the whole? It hasn't
been read."
A half-dosen senators looked Interested
and the president remarked that be didn't
know. Fries showed signs of making a re
port, but was beaded off by some one re
marking that the senate was In committee
of the whole and it couldn't make a report
to Itself.
"Well, if we are In committee of the
whole, why doesn't the president get out or
the chair, then?" said one member, whose
Identity was lost In a general cry for recog
nition. "I'll get out of the chair," replied the
president. "Mr. Shreck, If Mr. Epperson
won't take the chair, you take ft." Shreck,
however, showed signs of keeping his own
seax
Then followed a volley of "Roberts'
Rules." fired from all parts of the chamber
and the propositions to get right were so
numerous and so confusing that tbe mem.
bers left their seats and crowded around In
groups trying to figure out how to get tbe
committee out of the hole. Motions were
ruled out of order and most every thing was
out of order for more than a half hour.
Finally Mockett of Lancaster got the floor.
"Mr. President." be said, "I move you
that we reconsider our action to go Into a
committee of the whole."
His motion carried
"Now, I move you that Senator Fries
read the report of tha flnst committee of
the whole "
Fries did.
Then Gibson of Douglas moved that the
senate resolve Itself Into a committee of-!
the be. The geoau did, Qlbson, armed
f with a blue book and a big cigar, marrhea
tip and took the chair. In a very short
time the committee again showed signs of
floundering, but Saunders of Douglas came
to the rescue of his colleague and wrote
klm a note. The contents) of the note were
not made pubHc, but Gibson got through all
right after he received I:. Later John Walt
again came in to "hoodoo" his old friends,
but this time Lieutenant Governor McOil
ton took the chair, struck his gavel which
dissolved the committee, heard the report,
struck p. to gavel again and the business was
over.
If. R. M. transfering SiAi from the
Norfolk asylum fund to trie Lincoln asy
lum fund, was recommitted to the Judiciary
committee. This bill was recommended
for passage yesterday after a lengthy dis
cussion. II. R. S5, the salary appropriation bill,
was pUsed. S. F. 8. by Beghtol. th
county engineer's MM. was recommended
for passage. The bill affects Lancaster
and Douglas counties and both Beghtol
and Saunders made talks in its favor. f
F. S, which provides for making records
In cases appealed to the supreme court,
and which Incidentally cuts down the fees
of the district court clerk, was recalled
from the house and passed again. When
the bill passed the first time it received
tl votes, which Lieutenant Governor Mc
Oilton said carried with It the emergency
clause. He found out his mistake ttus
morning and asked the senate to recall the
bill. Today it got S votes. Just one more
thsn necessary to carry with It the emer
gency clause. .
8. F. 30. relating to the penalty for the
crime of attempting to poison, was recom
mended for passage: as was 8. F. 35. which
provides that when the Missouri river
carries a part of Nebraska into some other
state the people on the land shall be
come inhabitants of that state and the
land shall become a part of It, upon proc
lamation of the governor.
These bills were introduced snd read for

The house committee on cities and towns
did not meet today for sctlon on the Dodge
water hoard bill. Chairman Iee of this
committee said most ef the members were
otherwise engaged and the committee could
not meet today. The meeting time was
fixed for 2 p. m. tomorrow. Dodge is pre
pared to make, the effort of his csreer in
favor of this bill and he ,ls being rein
forced by various other politicians from
Omahs, who, doubtless, will not be allowed
to air themselves before the committee.
The msjority of the committee, as well as
the majority of the members of the house
who have looked Into the pernicious meas
ure, are awake to what it proposes to do
and the chances sre the bill will never get
past the committee.
Among the senators there is Etrong talk
of holding night schools of instruction so
that the members can get onto the parlia
mentary curves. Two years ago I.leuten
ajit Governor McGiltoit and W. H. Har
rison were the recognized parliamentarians
of the body and kept it clear of pitfalls.
The tangles that have occurred this year
have happened while the lleutfjiant gover
nor was not presiding or while the senate
was in the committee of the whole.

head of the prohibition movement seeking

A number of bridgemen have arrived on
the scene of action and are watrhing the
progress of the Kyd bill and tbe county
engineers" bill, introduced by Beghtol.
They were busy at the hotels last night
getting acquainted with the members of
the legislature.
The bills providing for amendments to
the stato constitution, introduced in -the
senate by Saunders of Douglas, provide
that there shall he seven supreme Judges
and that the legislature shall have power
to fix their salaries, not to be changed
1 oftener than once In four years; to allow
the legislature to create courts; at present

shall have the power to return a verdict
in a civil case.
Senator Wilsey of Frontier county has
opened up on the railroads to compel them
to give the people of his district a fair deal
In the matter of shipping freight. He in
troduced a bill this morning which if It
becomes a law will compel Nebraska rail
roads after loading frieght to transport it
to Its destination In Nebraska at a rate
of sieed not less than ten miles aa hour.
Tho bill provides also that the railroads
must start the freight on Its way to Its
destination within twenty-four hours from
the time It is loaded.
In speaking of ills bill Senator Wilsey
said: "It is nothing unusual for freight ta
be three weeks on the road from Omahe
to McCook. Buyers of merchandise tell
me that goods ordered In Omaha to be
shipped to my part of the Mate are held
by tbe railroads until a carload is secured
for shipment and then the car Is sent out.
When the car gets to Holdrego or some
division point It is again set out and tha
various shipments are held until a sufficient
quantity has arrived to make up several
more carloads before th goods are finally
sent on. Having been handled so much the
goods arrive in had shape and not Infre
quently after the demand for such mer
chandise has passed."
The bill does not relate to the shipment
of live stock.
Senator Wilsey is also the father of the
measure to oomrw-1 the railroads to stop
the practice of making their employes OB
trains work more than twelve hours with
cut an interval of eight hours for rest. (
This bill he introduced at U urgent re
quest of the railroad employes.

AM today at the head of the carriage building
industry I
I have made my reputation by building Banner
Buggies and selling them to you on a different plan
one that gives you a better than usual buggy at a
lesser price.
The dealers appreciate my methods of doing
business, and great numbers of the trade have wanted me to go into
harness making along the same progressive saving lines as my Banner
Buggy business. Up to now I have refused because I have not seen my
way clear to give the best values to be found in this line.
I am now ready
to go into harness
making on an ex
tensive scale so
that I can save my
trade something in
buying harness requirements.
And I have secured the sen-ices of Mr. A. P. TniSS, formerly of Memphis, Term., one
of the best known harness and saddlery men in the country, to five his personal attention to
the operation of my entire harness works.
Now, I don't need to say any more to those who know me or know Mr. Truss.
Any dealer who has had any business with either of us will know that we don't go into J
anything in a half hearted way and that harness orders can be given us with the utmostk
confidence that full value can be expected tor any requirement.
I was not able to give a full display In my late catalog of my new harness line and if j
you don't find what you want illustrated write me stating your needs and give me an oppor
tunity to quote prices.
Have you my 1905 catalog illustrating the most attractive line of buggies ever manu
