Y. M. C A. Boildiar. Come Sixtetmtk and DougUi Street
ard Oil trust, the Nebraska legislature la
ankcri in a resolution by Hunker of Cum
ing, the fusion leader In the house, to
grant lt sympathy, at least to the Buffer
ing but pugnacious Kansas. This measure
of relief haa not yet been extended the
neighboring state, however, for the resolu
tion went over, on motion of Windham,
under the rules. It will come up tomorrow,
perhaps.
The resolution was offered, It Is generally
understood, after due deliberation by the
powers that be in fuslonlsm in Nebraska,
It bears the earmarks of a certain loqua
cious newspaper organ which lustily op
posed the Rockefeller gift to the university.
The resolution reads:
Whereas, The people of th state of Kan
sas have entered Into a contest in order to
determine whether the law or the Standard
Oil trust Is supreme; and
Whereas, In their patriotic efforts the
Kansas people have received the Indorse
ment of the national house of representa
tives and are now obtaining the cordial co
operation of the president of the United
States, therefore be it
Resolved, by the Nebraska house of rep
resentatives. That on behalf of the people
of Nehraaka. we expreea sincere sympathy
with the people of our neighboring state in
the contest they are now waging against
the greatest of all monopolies. We bid
Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United
States. Godspeed In his determined efforts
to protoct the publio Interest against the
encroachment of monopoly.
In view of the fact that John D. Rocke
feller has contributed certain sums toward
the erection of a building In connection
with Nebraska's State university, we desire
that It shall be known that the acceptance
by Nebrnaka of the contribution which
John D. Rockefeller has made to the "uni
versity temple fund" shall in no sense bo
regarded as an apology on the part of Ne
braska people for the disreputable methods
which the Rockefeller . monopoly has em
ployed. We desire that It shall be distinctly un
derstood that the acceptance from John D.
Rockefeller of a considerable sum of money,
the same to be used in the erection of a
Nebraska university building, shall not
serve before the people of the world ss an
Indication that Nebraska has any sympathy
whatever with the dishonest practices and
the outrageous propositions for which John
D. Rockefeller's great monopoly la respon
sible. ROlTIK PROCEEDINGS OF HOUSE
Somber of Measure Which Provoke
Debate.
' tFrom a Btait Correspondent.)
LINCOX-N, Feb. 22. (Special Telegram.)
An American flag of wUle proportions, cen
tered with a likeness of th. "Father of
his Country," en, each side of which were
smaller flags draped upon the wall im
mediately back' of. the. speaker's desk waa
the. first reminder to the house that tnia
waa the one hundred and sixty-third an
niversary of George Washington. But de
spite tliis momentous fact In American his
tory the Nebraska house of representatives
resolved Itself -into committee of the whole,
with ferry of . Furnas In -the chair, and
Legan founding away at the long general
tile juut us If" there had never been a
cherry tree, a lialchet, a revolution or a
Holdier-statesman whom nature left child
less that his - country inltfht call hlin
"father."- '
Hunker of Cuming offered his resolution
commending Kansas for lis fight upon the
Standard' Oil trust, pledging sentimental
co-operation and taking a shot at John 1.
Rockefeller as the magnate of the most
treacherous monopoly In existence, paying
special and caustlo heed to the gift which
Mr. Rockefeller, In spit of the resistance
of a certain newspaper, made to the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Hunker moved the
adoption of his resolution, but Windham
moved that It lay over under the rules,
and this motion prevailed.
In committee of the whole then the house
took up 8. F. 8, by Beghtol of Lancaster,
the county engineer bill, which, after a
sharp debate with Clarke and Dodge of
Dougla and McClay of Lancaster for the
bill and Lee of Douglas and Douglas of
Rock against It, was recommended for
passage by a vote of 43 to 26. '
H. R. Zli), by Clarke of Douglas, waa
recommended ' for passage. It Is the bill
wbJoh Imposes a one-year penitentiary sen
tence or a flno of $500 for the gam of
policy. Foster of Douglas wanted to make
sure that the bill did not apply to such
organisations as suit club and waa as
sured It did not.
The next bill to precipitate an unusual
contest was H. R. 230, by Parker of Otoe.
It provided for the prohibition of saloons
within 400 feet of any schoolhouse. Jack
son of Antelope offered an amendment
making It apply only to retail places of
selling liquor. Clarke of Dougla sought to
amend It so a to exempt from Its opera
tion any saloon now existing,, on the
ground that msny a man who had Invested
his money would be seriously Injured If not
ruined by the bill wer It to become a law.
The Clarke amendment was lost and the
bill, amended by Jackson to exclude whole
sale place, was recommended for passage
by a vote of 8S to S3.
H. R. Z, by McMullen of Gage, to amend
the revenue bill so as to elect Instead of
appoint district assessors simply plunged
the house Into a gulf of forenslo and ora
torical hot water or air. It was the signal
for long, loud and passionate appeals. Perry
of Furnas, McMullen of Gage, Jones of
Polk, Bedford of Holt, led In defending the
bill, while Douglas of Rock, McClay and
Burns of Lancaster, Cassell Of Otoe,
Barnes and Dodge of Douglas and Wilson
of Pawnee and McAllister of Deuel op
posed the bill. Voter read the convention
pledge of the republican party to correct
any Inequality of the revenue law and
pleaded for the bill. He claimed the dep
uty assessor feature had proved to be In
equitable. Jones hurled a charge of Insincerity at
.Douglas, which Douglas resented and re
plied to.
The bill was Indefinitely postponed. The
detailed vote was:

over because the onJy man who did not
deny its authorship was not present. This
was Burgess of Lancaster. The other so-,
called authors were the rest of the Lan
caster delegation and Lee and Foster of

BE ATE KILLS OPTION BILL
Lively Debate Over Action of the
Committee.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Fob. 22. (Special.) Shreck's
county option bill was laid to rest this
morning upon the recommendation of the
enate Judiciary committee after aeveral
attempts were made to revive It. , Senators
Shreck, Jennings and Good took the matter
much to heart and later Mockett Joined
them, and made one last desperate effort
to have the bill come before the committee
of the whole for a discussion by reconsider
ing the action of the senate, but his motion
was lost on roll call by a, vote of 10 to 19.
During the first arguments on the bill Mock
ett was absent on other business and did
not participate. In the same grave with
the Shreck bill were placed S. F. 93, by
Hughes, providing that bonds for cost must
be filed when a case Is appealed from a
county or city board, and S. F. 151, by
Whaley, which had It become a law would
compel all liquor dealers to mark their
bottles and liquor receptacles with a label
bearing the name and proportion of the
Ingredients. No voice was raised In defense
of these measures when the Judiciary com
mittee reported them for. indefinite post
ponement. When Mockett returned to the senate
chamber and found what had been done
during his absence he promptly moved a
reconsideration and made a talk In favor
of hi motion. The vote was as follows:
Aye Cad y, Jennlnga, Peterson.
Krlee, Jones, Shreck lb.
Good, v Mockett,
Harih, Sheldon,
Nay Beghtol, Oould, Thomas,
Brcaee, Haller, Tucker,

Olliaon, Meeerve, Wllaey It.
Olffln, N'leleon,
Ollllgan, Saunders,
Abeent Hart, Vore, Laeerty?
Wllliama.
The senate resolved Itself Into a commit
tee of the whole and recommended for pas
sage these bills:
S. F. 76, the Bresee Judicial apportion
ment bill, making two districts out of the
Fourteenth district.
S. F. 30, compelling railroads to stop
trains at all stations for the accommoda
tion of the public und to compel them to
keep suitable waiting rooms open.
S. F. 150, making the penalty fur daylight
burglary the same as night burglary.
8. F. 142, persons tiling petitions for di
vorce must have resided In the state at
least a year before making the application.
8. F. 133, providing for appeal to the dis
trict court from the decialon of a county
board of equalisation.
8. F. 143, providing for the opening of
public roads.
H. R. 131, regulating the pay of county
commissioners.
H. R. 6o. substitute for 81 and 130, or
dered engrossed; require life insurance
companies doing business In Nebraska to
deposit tlOO.000 securities with the state aud
itor. The senate passed these two bills:
H. R. 3, to allow the supreme judges to
i arpoint commissioners net to exceed ix.
B. l- 11. to mak the crime or auunery
felony. Tills bill Is Intended to remedy th
evil existing among the Indians.
8. F. 90, by Wilsey, to prohibit the em
ployment of teachers who are related to
members of the school board, wss Indefi
nitely postponed.
With Governor Mickey a special guest of
honor members of the senate this after
noon for two hours laid aside affairs of
state and were taken back In their thoughts
to days and deeds of old by th eloquence
of Assistant Secretary Greevy and Rev.
Luther P. Ludden of Lincoln. Th former
read the farewell address of Washington
and the latter read the eulogy of Washing
ton by Daniel Webster upon th occasion
of the centennial anniversary of his birth.
At the conclusion of the reading the en
tire audience United In singing "America"
and In giving a cheer for "Old Glory,"
whirh formed a background behind the
president's chair.
Preceding this exercise the senate In com
mittee of the whole recommended for pss
sags S. F. 139, by Tucker, to compel the
number of pounds of flour or meal to be
stamped on the sack. .
CHEATED FOR YEARS
Prejudice Will Cheat Is Often If We
Let It.
You will be astonished to And how
largely you are influenced in every way
by unreasoning prejudice. In many cases
you will also And that th prejudice ha
swindled you, or rather, made you swindle
yourself. A case In Illustration:
"I have been a constant user of Grape
Nut for nearly thre years," say a cor
respondent, "and I am happy to say that
I am well pleased with the result of th
experiment, for such It has been.
"Boeing your advertisement In almost all
of th periodicals, I for a long time loerked
upon It a a hoax. But after year jf
suffering with gaseous and bitter eructa
tion from my stomach, together with
more or less loss of appetite and flesh,
I concluded to try Grape-Nut food for a
little time and note the result.
"I found It delicious, and It wa not
long till I began to experience th bene
ficial effects. My stomach resumed it
normal state, the eructations and bitter
ness both ceased snd I huv gained all
my lost weight back.
"I am so well satisfied with the result
that so long ss I may live and retain my
reason Grape-Nuts shall constitute quit
a portion of my daily food." Name given

APPROPRIATION BILL IS RKADT
Show Material Decrease Over Two
Tear Ago.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. M.-(SpechU Telegram.)
The finance, ways and means committee
has Just completed the general appropria
tion bill and Chairman Wilson will Intro
duce It in th house tomorrow. The total
appropriation for the bi-ennium I 81,720,000,
as compared with 11.828,000 for the last" ses
sion, a decrease of 8108,000. This Is gratify
ing to the members of the committee, who
have 'striven to keep down the appropria
tions and at the same time do ample justice
to the many new and constantly expanding
sources of state expense.. They had feared
tho total would far exceed that af two
years ago. .
One of th heavy Increases this year Is
tho item for the National Guard, 145,700.
The Increase of nearly 820,000 Is to meet the
demands of the militia, many companies
of which had been compelled to depend
upon their own resources for such ex
penses as armory rent. . Tho Omaha com
panies had this experience and for some
time contemplated disbanding. Adjutant
General Culver got to work on the matter,
however, and presented his case to the
finance committee in a most favorable
light. Following are tho various items of
appropriations:

DOINGS OF THE LEGISLATORS
Fraternal Insurance Bill Reported to
the House.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 22. (Special.) The house
Insuranco committee submitted Its report
today on the fraternal congress Insurance
bill. It vests the control of government
of the orders In 80 per cent of the member
ship as represented by the delegate at the
central body meetings. The original bill
provided for 51 per cent or a simple ma
jority. Opposed to this bill Is the Kyd bill, whose
counterpart, the Shreck bill, was killed
In the senate. It provides for 95 per cent
as the controlling factor. The committee
considers it has done well to secure such a
large concession In the matter of per cent
from the fraternal congress people.
Tho bill also Includes a provision to allow
the majority members of any fraternal in
surance order to secede from the parent
order and form a separate organization.'
This feature had been presented to the
house In a distinct bill by Ferrar of Hall,
but that bill provided, that any 2,000 mem
bers of any order might thus secede. Mr.
Ferrar himself did not favor this proposi
tion, having Introduced the bill at the re
quest of one of his constituents, and the
general feeling against the bill became so
strong a to bring about this changa Even
yet the secession Idea Is not popular.
Another feature of the committee or fra
ternal congress bill makes It possible for
weak organization to be merged.

Mr. Knox says:
"It has been stated that the bill seek
to permit motual companies to do city
business. Such is not the case. Such a
result would be vigorously opposed by the
promoters of this bill. Therefore it cannot
be said that the bill provides for any such
condition.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
Several Witnesses Examined In Be.
half of Jnilge Swnynr.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22,-The senate to
day considered at some length the bill pro
viding a civil government for the Panama
canal xone. The question of the govern
ment's ownership of the Panama railroad
and Its relationship to the general question
of government ownership of railroads was
debated freely. Mr. Gorman expressed the
opinion that the general subject would
soon come before congress and said he was
anxious now to place himself on record as
opposed to that policy. Consideration of the
bill was not completed when the senate
adjourned for want of a quorum.
A number of witnesses were examined
on behalf of Judge Swayne ln the Im
peachment proceedings against him. Wash
ington's farewell address was read by Mr.
Perkins at the beginning of the session.
The following witnesses were examined
ln the Interest of Judge Swayne: F. W.
Marsh, clerk of the federal court at Pen
sacola, Fla.; B. H. Burton, deputy clerk;
Thomas F. McGourin, United States mar
shal "for the northern district of Florida;
Herman Wolfe, deputy marshal; Elijah
Barker, Percy S. Hayes, Fensacola news
paper rren, and Adolph Greenhut, all of
whom testified to circumstances connected
with the contempt proceedings ln connec
tion with the case; Ezra P. Axtell, an at
torney whose testimony related to the re
spondent's use of private railroad cars, and
Milton JacksdVi of Philadelphia, a brother-in-law
of Judge Swayne, who said that ln
recent years the Judge had made only oc
casional visits to Guyencourt, Del.
Robert McColIogh, Atwood Wilson, Mar
tin Turner and Charles C. Morris, residents
of Guyencourt, Del., where the Swayne
homestead is located, testified that Judge
Swayne had been ln the habit of spending
his summers there, but that he is never
there at any other season of the year.
After the last witness of the day had
been heard Mr. Higgins said there were
only four more witnesses to be introduced
ln Judge Swayne's interest and that they
would not occupy to exoeed forty minutes,
and Mr. Palmer said that only one witness
would be called ln rebuttal. Both sides
agreed that not to exceed two hours more
time would be required for the Introduction
of testimony.
When the senate resumed the legislative
session the Panama canal government bill
was again laid before the senate and Mr
McComas offered an amendment requiring
supplies for the canal to be carried ln
American ships. A division developed the
absence of a quorum and at 6;31 p. m. tho
senate adjourned until 11 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
