about the most complete and modern
equipment for carrying»on their busi

The city went into court to get a
road opened that had been traveled
practically since the earliest settle
ment and which the owner of the
land, Dan Harrington, closed a few
weeks ago. It is the road leading
east from Douglas street on the half
section line. Mr. Harrington bought
some land south of the Mann resi
dence and built thereon. The county
records disclosed that no public road
had ever been laid out, but continous
travel there for so many years es
tabliches a public highway and Mr.
Harrington has removed his fence
closing the road. He does not object
so much to the road on the half sec
tion line but thinks it is an injustice
to require the property owners on the
south side of the line to furnish all
the land for the road and says he is
willing to give his share for a road
if those owing property north of the
half section line will do the same.

Fellows building on the south side of

The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin 119, which in
cludes the results of five years’ spray
ing experiments in Nebraska apple or
chards. Tha first part of the bulletin
deals with the cost and the net gain
due to spraying. Methods and con
veniences for mixing the different
spray materials as well as how they
should be applied are discussed at
some length. The use of lime-sulfur
sprays as summer fungicides for ap
ples is discussed. A cooperative plan
for spraying home orchards is given.
The bulletin may be had free of cost
by residents of Nebraska on applica
tion to the Agricultural Experiment
Station, Lincoln, Nebraska.
An adjourned meeting of the voters
of. Grattan township next Satprday,
April 1, promises to develop greater
interest than any since the Handley
defalcation. At the meeting two
weeks ago it was found that there
were claims in to the amount of some
thing like $2,000, many of which ap
peared to some present at the meet
ing to look suspicious. An adjourn
ment was secured by those who de
sired to investigate the matter of
claims against the township. The
meeting Saturday will probably be
largely attended, as if there is any
thing like a suspicion talked around
the taxpayers become interested to
know where there money is going.
Neligh Register: Z. M. Sealer of
Holt county, aud Mrs. Mamie Alden
of Niobrara, were married at the M.
E. parsonage Tuesday by Rev. Dr.
Hinkle. This is the culmination of a
romance extending over a period of
fifteen years. At the beginning of
that time Zed and Mamie were sweet
hearts, but Zed went to Colorado to
seek his fortune; letters were exchang
ed frequently at first, but Zed, being
in an isolated part of the country, al
lowed the correspondence to slacken
and then cease altogether. In the
meantime Mamie was married and
moved to Niobrara. Recently Zed
had business there and met his former
sweetheart. His old love flamed again
and when he learned that Mamie was
a widow so ardent were his attentions
that Mamie could not resist and she
blushingly told him his affection was
reciprocated. The climax was reach
ed Tuesday evening and resulted in
the happy wedding. They left Wed
nesday atternoon for their home In
Holt county which the happy groom
has prepared on a ranch eight miles
west of Ewing.

Wedding Near Minneola,
On Monday at the home of Mr. ana
Mra. Charles W. Morgan, two miles
north of Minaola, Charles A. Calkins
of O’Neill and Miss Bessie B. Morgan
were united in marriage, by Rev. T.
S. Watson, pastor of the Methodist
ohurch in O’Neill. The ceremony
was performed in the presence of
^wenty-flve relatives and near friends
of the contracting parties.
The bridal party entered the parlor
at about 4 p. m. to the strains of a
march played by a sister of the bride.
The groom was attended by his bro
ther, Roy Calkins, and the father of
file bride was her escort. After the
giving away of the bride by her father
the impressive“ring service”was used.
Miss Sarah Morgan, a sister of the
bride was bride’s maid. The bride
was beautifully arrayed in a gown of
blue messaline, and the groom wore a
very becoming suit of black.
After the ceremony, and congrat
ulations, which were unusually hearty,
a delicious buffet lunch was served
and was greatly enjoyed by all present,
especially by the men folks, for, most
of them had spent about an hour,
just preceding the wedding, fighting
a prairie fire about a mile south of
Mr. Morgan’s place, thus getting
warmed up and finding an appetite
for the good things provided.
The writer is pleased to announce
that Mr. and Mrs. Calkins will con
tinue to reside in O’Neill. ***

FILIPINO SELF GOVERNING
Justice of Islands Supreme Court
Speaks of Government There.
Kansas City Journal: “The Filipino
has just about as much to say about
his government as the American
citizen.”
That is the way Judge E. Finley
Johnson, justice of the supreme court
of the Philippine islands, responded to
the “anti-imperialistic” doctrines of
certain Boston folk. Judge Johnson
was appointed to the supreme bench
of the islands by President McKinley
ten years ago. At the time of his ap
pointment he was professor of law at
Ann Arbor, which chair he held for
thirteen years.
“I think the one thing, which will
most interest Americans, t*nd which
proves the government’s policy is
right, is the great degree of self gov
ernment in the islands.” he said.
“With the exception of the city of
Manila, which is governed much like
the city of Washington, every mu
nicipality in the islands is governed by
the natives. They elect the mayor
and council, control the police, levy
taxes and expend their own moneys.
They have absolute self government.
The natives practically have control
of the provincial or county govern
ments.
“The provinces or counties are ruled
by a governing board of three mem
bers, two of whom are elected by the
people,and the other appointed by the
governor general. In some instances
the members are Americans, but a
majority are Filipinos. The central
government composed of a house and
senate is largely representative. The
lower house is composed of delegates,
all elected by the people, and all of
whom are Filipinos. The senate nas
nine members, four of whom are na
tives.
“Every justice of the peace in the
islands is a Filipino except one. Half
of the judges of the courts of first in
stance, which correspond to our Ameri
can district courts, are Filipinos.
They are appointed by the governor
general and give as good satisfaction
as the American jurists. The supreme
court consists of seven men, three of
whom are Filipinos, and I don’t be
lieve there is a member of the court
who would not accept the rulings of
any of the three Filipino judges ”
-judge Johnson wrote the opinion in
a decision regarding the suit of twelve
alien Chinese for damages against the
governor general. The Chinese proved
objectionable and were deported by
order of the governor general. They
returned to the islands and brought
suit to recover personal damages.
This was the first of its kind ever
heard in the Philippines supreme
court which, by a majority opinion,
ruled that the governor general bad
the right to deport objectionable
aliens, and that the twelve had no
grounds for damages. The case had
been appealed to the supreme court of
the United States and promises to be
interesting in that it involves a deli
cate diplomatic problem, and will be
the first of its kind heard by the
United States supreme court.

The Legislature
Lincoln, Neb., March 27th.—The
veto by Governor Aldrich of H. R. 82,
the Taylor bill regulating stock yards
companies, on Thursday last, the In
effectual attempt in the house to pass
the bill over the governor’s vote, the
recommendation for passage by the
house of S F 114, the Ollis bill regulat
ing stock yards companies and placing
them under the oontrol of the State
Railway commission, on the same day
and the final passage by the house of
the Ollis bill at the afternoon session
of the bouse on Friday are the inci
dents which stand out as of greatest
public importance in the work of the
legislature for the past week.
Immediately after the disposition
of the Taylor bill, the Ollis blllSF
115, which had been made the special
order for 2 o’clock, was brought for
ward in oommittee of the whole for
consideration. The Ollis bill is a far
more comprehensive measure for the
regulation of stock yards companies
than the Taylor bill, classifies the
yards as common carriers and places
them under the railway commission
for regulation of service and rates.
The most desperate attempts were
made to amend the Ollis bill by the
supporters of the Taylor bill, the pur
poses of which may be left to the view
point of Individual observers. It Is
possible that the effort to amend was
indicted by a desire to nake stronger
measure, but the fact remains that It
amended the bill would have of nec
essity gone back to the senate for con
currence in the amendments which
might have resulted In delays and so
close to the eod of the session delay
might be highly dangerous to the final
passage of any measure.
Some fifty-two members of the
house seemed to be determined to
prevent any amendment to the bill
and as fast as offered the amendments
were swept aside by that vote in what
seemed to be a “steam roller” fashion
of highest effectiveness, and not a
single word of the bill suffered a
change while under donslderation by
the house.
After the opposition was exhausted
with these attempts the house rec
ommended the bill for third reading
which placed it on final passage at its
next appearance.
Senator Ollis who drew the bill and
fought it through the senate was an
interested observer of the final fight
in the bouse In which tbe supporters
of his measure emerged victorious.
On Friday afternoon the Oills bill
came before tbe house on final passage
and was passed by vote of 71 to 21,
eight members being absent. The bill
now goes in completed form, passed
by both houses, to Governor Aldrich
for approval and will undoubtedly re
ceive his signature.
Senator Albert introduced a reso
lution declaring against Canadian re
ciprocity until tbe farmer was given
the same “show” for his products as is
contemplated for tbe manufacturer;
S F 331 by Brown, requiring banks
and building and loan associat ions to
fiie their articles with the auditor,
and secretary of state and banking
board was placed on third reading
and passed.
When the house convened, Eastman
offered a motion to tbe effect that
Champ Clark, Speaker of the next
national house of representatives,Sen
ator Owen of Oklahoma, Senator
Kern of Indiana, Governor Sbafroth
of Colorada, being in the building,
the guests of Hon. W. J. Bryan, that
they be Invited to address tbe house
at 3 o’clock.
Three o’dook having arrived,
Quackenbush, Eastman and Dolezal
were appointed a committee to escort
tbe distinguished guests into the
chamber. They came up the aisle
amid the great applause but without
Hon. W. J. Bryan. The latter follow
ed after the initial applause bad sub
sided and of course received his own
round of cheers just as if it was all an
accident and bad not been “staged”
that way.
Speaker Kubl presented Mr. Bryan
as chairman of tbe spieaking exercises,
wbo presented each of the speakers In
tnrn with more or less glowing trib
ute to their eminence and their un
swerving devotion to tbe “initiative
and referendum.”
Each spoke briefly. Hob Champ
