King Alfonso Is anxious to pay a
visit to the United States. We will
all be glad to see him, but the scarcity
of cattle will prsvent putting on any
bull fights for his entertainment
should he decide to come.
A Texas judge is going to try his
hand on the Standard oil magnates.
Three officials of the company are
charged with violating the Sherman
anti-trust law in Texas, and the
judge says be is going to bring them
into court if he has to send state
officers after them. The three person
ages wanted are John D. Archbold,
W. C. Eagle and II. C. Taylor, jr.
Fremont Is attracting some
attention because of a theatre
manager there attempting to put on
a show on Sunday. The theatre
people were arrested and the show
called off. There was no objection to
the character of the performance,
merely the Sunday question being in
volved. A large audience bad assem
bled for the entertainment when the
municipal dignitaries laid rude hands
on the managers and performers
whom they hailed Into court.
Will M. Maupln says be knew three
weeks before the appointment of
labor commissioner was made that he
was not going to get the job himself
and gives the not at all remarkable
reason that the governor promised
him .the appointment. Maupln is
not the only man who has followed
the game of politics to feel the "string
of Ingratitude." His statement that
he wrote the governor’s platform and
public speeches Is no surprise to those
who were familar with the candidates
last fall. _
On the new fad of admitting,women
to jury duty a Denver lawyer offers a
few sensible remarks: *'I should hate
to see the time come when my wife
or my daughter would be chosen for
Jury servloe and be looked up In a
room with several men Jurors oyer
night or for several nights. I should
hate to see the time come when my
wife or daughter were foroed to appear
in court and show cause why they
should not serve on a j ury. And there
are many criminal cases in the trial of
which it Is an insult to ask a woman
to listen to t he evidence brought out.”
THE LEGISLATURE.
What's Being Done by the State Law
Making Body at the Capital.
Lincoln, Jan. 27.—Among the
things established during the
week which are new and revolu
1 tionary may be named the adop
tion by both house and senate of
a rule permitting a record vote in
both housesjin committee of the
whole when demanded by five
members. This may indeed be
called a radical departure as never
before in the history of Nebraska
has a rule been adopted pei mit
ting the recording of votes while
in committee of the whole. This
former procedure offered the con
stant opportunity for members
to oppose legislation or to attempt
amendment in such manner as to
destroy a vital import of the pro
posed law, and still leave ho re
cord of their action as final proof
of their-real attitude toward leg
islation, if, after their attitude in
committee of the whole, they
might record themselves in favor
of the bill when placed upon its
final passage.
Another radical departure from
ancient customs adopted by both
senate and house during the week
was the forced cancellation of the
usual junkeing trip by the com
mittee on public lands and build
ings in both senate and house.
The twenty odd law makers,
members of this committee of
both houses, had planned for the
usual trip to all the state institu
tional of Nebraska, involving trav
el of some two thousand miles
and absence from the legislature
for a period of one week. It was
also planned ts enjoy the comforts
of a special Pullman car for the
entire trip to be used in lieu of
hotel sleeping accomodations
wherever the joint committee
might spend the night.
It is said that the thoughts of
this palatial Pullman on the part
of the members who are not to
participate in this pleasant outing
caused a grief and jealousy to
rise up in their hearts and demand
a new deal. The new deal con
sisted of a motion in the senate
that a special committee of three
appointed by the chair should
visit the state institutions, instead
of the regular committee. This
carried by the narrow margin
of one vote, but which was as
effective for the purpose as if it
had been unanimous. In the
house a similar motion for the
selection of five members as a
special committee to makfc this
trip was also carried. This puts
the regulaV committees in both
houses out of business so far as
this trip is concerned, and the dis
appointment of members who
sought places on this committee,
largely with a view to taking this
pleasant journey, may be easily
imagined.
The election of Hon. Geo. W.
Norris, congressman- from the
Fifth district as United States
senator from Nebraska, for the
six year term beginning March 4,
next, was perhaps the most re
markable incident of this kind
ever witnessed in Nebraska.

nothing so rapidly restores health
and vigor as SCOTT’S EMULSION.
It is the essence of natural body
nourishment, so medically perfecl
that nature immediately appropri
ates and distributes it to every
organ, every tissue—feeding,
nourishing and restoring them to
normal activity.
SCOTT’S EMULSION is not a
patent medicine, but is nature’s
body-nourishment with curative,
upbuilding properties and without
a drop of drug or alcohol. It con
tains superior cod liver oil, the
hypophosphites of lime and soda
with glycerine, and is so delicately
emulsified that it enters the system
without digestive effort—builds,
tones and sustains.
After croup, whooping cough,
measles and other child ailments it
is nature’s ally in restoring health.
After grippe or pneumonia it
imparts strength and health, and
for colds, coughs, sore, tight chests
and throat troubles SCOTT’S
EMULSION gives the greatest relief
known.

bers had pledged themselves
under statement No. i, of the
Oregon plan law, and when on
Tuesday, the house and senate
met in joint session to ratify the
vote, taken separately on the pre
vious day, it required but twelve
minutes to make out of Congress
man Norris,United States Senator
Norris.
The week has witnessed
another flood of proposed new
laws, 160 new bills having been
offered in the house and 73 in
the senate. This brings the total
number of bills in the house up to
362 and bills in the senate to a
total of 164 for the first twelve
legislative days of the session.
Eight days more remain for the
introduction of bills, and it is a
fair prediction that the session
will be confronted with about the
total offerings of the last session,
which were in round numbers
700 in the house and 300 in the
senate.
While some of the new meas
ures offered are of small interest
to the state at large, a consider
able number are of far reaching
effect * and great importance.
Among tltese latter may be cited
in the senate: 105 by Kemp, de
claring it a felony to introduce
“dope” into the state penitentiary;
xo6 by Kemp, for a Constitution
al convention; 112 by McFar
land, providing a state commis
sion to administer an employer’s
liability act; 118 by Spirk, pro
hibiting the sale of fire arms to
minors under 18 years of age;
125 by Hoagland of Lincoln
county, prohibits the sale or giv
ing away of liquor on Memorial
day and Labor day; 133 by
Heasty, requires newspapers to
label political advertising with
those words and to publish the
cost of such advertising in the
heading of the article; 141 by
Cordeal, prohibits the raising of
fraternal insurance rates except
alter approval by a referendum
vote of the membership: 145 by
Spirk, repealing the law which
confines a county treasurer to
only two consecutive terms; 158
by Grace, providing a system of
life insurance ccnducted wholly
by the state.
Among the 160 house bills of
the week, that may be considered
of general importance are the fol
lowing: 205 by Hasik, abolishes
county assessors in counties under
17000; 210 by Palmer, constitu
tional amendment making gover
nor’s term 4 years at $5000 per
year; 218 by McKissick, Sunday
base ball bill with optional features
221 by Jeary, the State Board of
Aribtration for all labor disputes;
225 by Schueth, 8 o’clock closing
law for pool halls in towns of 200
to 1500; 232 by Anderson of
Boyd, county superintendent
must have taught three years in
the county before eligible to the
office; 235 by Elmelund, $100,
000 for a state reformatory to
manufacture brick for the state;
238 by Bollen, for equal suffrage
for women; 251 by Falstead,
double election boards in precints,
one board to begin counting dur
ing the day; 270 by Foster, 8
hour day for women workers;
274 by Gates, appropriating
$23,000 to purchase a farm for
the widow of Roy Blunt killed in
the convict chase of last winter,
the farm to revert to the state at
her death; 282 by Gruber, ap
