have to guess who bit the onion,
and the lucky one who guesses cor

all the other girls, while those who
do not guess correctly are con
demned to kiss the lips that have

SEEDrain does not necessarily
mean seed wheat. Nebraska is a

crop next year must be corn, as it
has been, in past years. The seed
grain that has been and. is beinrr

mostly wheat, There is no imme
diate dangerofgetting overwhelmed
with wheat, but the generous peo
lewho are interesting themselves,
in the work of assisting the drouth
sufferers must remember that it is
seed corn .that is. needed. There are
a mumber of Nebraska communities
that have a surplus of seed corn.

The Nebraska House has been
wrestling with an arbitration bill,
but it discovered after a prolonged
debate in which some of the profes
sional friends, ot the laborer emitted
good deal buncombe, that the
subject was tbo vast for it and too
far reaching andthat the bill which
is a compulsory measure, took away
the rights of the laborer and so the
bill was re-committed.
Another Peary relief expedition
is to go to the Arctic seas next sum

will cost $12,000, and the public is
expected to subscribe the money to
save Lieutenant Peary. This will
be the third time the lieutenant has
had to be saved, and his friends
ought to keep him at home here
after or have him set out well
equipped to save himself.
The railways of the United States
in earnings passed the billion mark
in each of the four years ending
with 1893, but last year a decline of
$122,000,000 in receipts sent them
below the line. Expenses were re
duced 82,000,000. but- neverthe
less the net earnings fell off to the
extent ot $40,000,000.- It is hoped
-
that the remainder of the year will
show a decided improvement on
those figuresi x.

The south is slowly going back
to the condition where it will raise
its own food products and not be
dependent on the west. Before the
war the southern peOple raised most
of the corn thev consumed, but
after the war they devoted all their
and to cotton growing, because
that was the crop which they could
mortgage before it was even
planted. In 1860 the south had
10,000,000 population and raise 358,-
000,000 bushels of corn. In 1894
he south had population of 20,000,-
000 and raised 483,000,000 bushels
of corn. That section will have to
increase this production by more
than 20,000,000 bushels annually to
have the same proportion it had in
1860.

Lincoln, March 14. The senate
transacted a large amount of routine
business at its morning session Wednes

posed of. Most of. these were indefinite
ly postponed, while the rest were placed
on general file.
The first bills postponed were two for
the extermination of the Russian thistle.
A third bill for. the purpose was placed
on general file.
ffrossed Dins reported tnac senate mes
525 and 584, the relief bills had been cor
rectly engrossed.
The bill abolishing the death penalty
in Nebraska was agreed to in committee
of the whole and it had just the neces
sary 17 votes to pass it and no more.
The senate gave up several hours to its
discussion, and the debate was by far
the most interesting and animated
listened to during the present session.
Those voting in the affirmative were:
Akers, Black, Bauer, Crane, Crawford,
Cross, .Graham, Hitchcock, Jeffres, Mo
Keeby, McKesson, Pope, Rathburn,
Saunders, Sprecher, Stewart. Watson.
Total, 17.
Those voting in the negative were:
Bressler, Caldwell, Campbell, Dale,
Hahn, Holbrook, Lehr, Lindsay, Mighel,
Noyes, Sloan, Smith, Stuefer. Tefffc.
Total, 14. Absent: Gray and Wright.
The senate then finished the day with
a prolonged discussion of the relief bill
appropriating $200,000 for drouth suffer
ers. The senate finally agreed to the bill.
House Considers ApproprlattoB.
Consideration of the general appro
priation bill, providing for expenses of
the state departments and institutions,
occupied the principal portion of the day
in the house. At 3:30 p. m. it branched
off onto the subject of irrigation, and
Senator Akers was invited to addressed
the committee of the whole on that sub
ject.
The total amount of increase in ap
propriations provided for by the com
mittee of the whole, outside of the Lin
coln hospital for the insane, during the
day was $9,175 above the appropriation
for 1893. The amount given the
Lincoln asylum m lb9J was
$122,300. The amount recommended
up to the hour the committee arose was
$101,500, & reduction of $20,800. This
would leave the net total decrease, so
far as the appropriation bill has been
considered, $11,025 from the appropria
tion for the 1893 biennium.
