Icasiblllty cf rtlocatlnn the cap'tol al
Kearney. He proposes H.irtos, Muck,
Ransom, Myers, Raymond and It.id

To Cure Treating.
O roves of Lancaster takes a rigor
ous view of the treating halilt. There
is n law now prclilhitlng t!i. treating
uf persons in saloons, Ian il is not
enforced, (leases would make pro
vision to ensure the enforcement of
the law. In part, the bill Is fashioned
after the Kansas law. It makes the
person who gives the treat liable us
well us the saloonkeeper, and it per
mits the attorney who pushes the pro
secution of the treuter to secure $1
from tht man prosecute:! to pay him
for his trobnle. Under the Groves
bill, If H were proven t'mt a saloon
keener permitted treating in his
place, the licensing hoard Is conipell
ed to call a meeting and revoke the
license. The bill was so drastic in
its provisions that some of the mem
bets who are looking out for the in
terests of the brewers sat up and
took note of the Introduction.

VOLPP BANKING GILL.
The Measure to Be Introduced This
Week.
Senator Volpp of Ikulge, chairman
of the senate banking committee, will
introduce the tanking bill In the sen
ate early this week. He says tho b.ll,
as originally drawn, has been changed
slightly to conform to the ideas of
Governor Shallenbcrger and Mr.
lli-yan. He expects his measure to
meet with the approval of the entire
membership. He will make si d.'
tenn'ned effort to have his name on
the bill that is finally passed.
In brief Senator Vcltm has altered
bio views to the extent that .the "im
mediate" portion of l he measure shall
mean thirty days and that all losses
sustained by failures slml be paid
within this time limit. He indicates
that this much has been conceded by
the friends of the bank guaranty in
its most radical tortn and that It is
In effect an immediate payment ns th's
length of time is needed to ascertain
the condition of any institution after
failure.
He also has much conlldenco la the
provision for the reinvestment of the
bank guaranty fund In the bank pay
ing it, and Ilxing the rate cf 3 per cent
upon the funds so held. This provis
ion. Senator Volpp thinks, will be
concurred in by' the parly leaders. H
was recommended in the recent mes
sage of the governor of Oklahoma,
after trial of the Oklahoma plan for
a short time, and the senator believes
will meet with approval by democrats,
as the interest will provide a fund of
about $:'0, Dim a year which, he figures,
w ill be enough to pay the expenses of
the banking commission,
The commission will be appointed
by the governor and the members will
have authority to levy an additional
fund in case of necessity over and
above the guaranty fund provided in
the bill itself, this being incorporated
In the bill to make it constitutional,
the idea being It will never be neces
sary to make the levy, but when a
plan for absolute insurance Is pro
posed, it must be ubsolute and con mill
no limitations as to the amount
raised. Senator Volpp believes In the
guaranty tax advocated by liovermr
Shallenberger. which was one-fourth
or 1 per cent on the deposits ot the
banks, based on the average for the
last four statements given previous to
the enactment of the law. A tax on
capital Hock of new banks will be
Imposed.
Laverty on Highways.
Senator Laverty believes no orpan
Ized plan for better highways' can li!
Kuccessiul until tfeere is a fund for
the payment of expenses. He has In
troduced two bills. S. F. Nos.'9l and
O'J, which provide for state aid and a
tax levy of one-fourth of one mill.
The county overseer or county en
uineer is tlven nower under ' thes.
bills to ask. for highway construction.
If the stain highway committee sanc
tions the plan it may advance ;'0 per
cent cf the cost, the county to give
"5 per cent and the land owners bene
fitted to pay 13 per cent.
Taylor After Mortgages.
Taylor of York, has introduced a
bill along the same general line as
that followed by the bill of Noyes i.f
Cass. It provides that the bolder of
real estate Involved. He would exempt
to the value of the mortgage and the
amount of such mortgage shall be
deducted from the valuation of the
rcalestate Involved. He would exempt
railroad mortgages from this law. The
taxes on mortgages Is to be levied In
the county where the land affected
lies, if the holder of the real estate
pays the tax on the mortgage at the
time he pays his other taxes the re
ceipt for such payment shall constitute
a payment on tho loan.
Is Rank Discrimination.
D. M. Nettleton of Clay lias intro
duced a bill that will cause a stir be
fore it comes to a final' vote. It at
tacks the present system of ratings
employed by the fire Insurance com
panies. He would not attack the dif
ferent ratings made en risks that are
different In hazard. He would not re
quire necessarily that resident e
houses and buslnes's stocks secure the
same rates. Hut hi! would prohibit,
the discrimination known to be prac
ticed among companies whereby a
man wPh a large risk Is able to secure
better terms than one with a small
risk.
To Catch the Overland.
A bill has been prepared for Intro
duction lu the house providing that
all passenger trains running in Ne
braska shall have at least one coach
In which no extra charge will be made
for seals. This bill is to catch over
land trains in "which It Is necessary
to purchase a seat In addition to a
ticket.
Initiative and Referendum.
A committee of inembcis of the
house dratted a bill tor a constitu
tional amendment providing for the
initiative and referendum. The amend
ment will provide that a per cent of
the people may enact legislation or te
peal loglslation enacted by tho legis
lature. Want Shorter Trains.
The bill that the combined railroad
organizations have been working f.u
during the past year was put in by
Sink of Kail county. It provides that
the size of freight trains shall not ex
ceed fifty cars outside the yard limits.
Train crews shall not be less than an
engineer, a fireman, conductor, two
braknmen, and' a llagman. The In

'I'll give yon a penny if you can
spell Hsb."
"Cod."
"That ain't fish."
What la It, then?"
A New Omaha Author.
The whiter season always pinduccft
nn aciivi' demand for lliile story
books whose authors aimed to Inter
tst and instruct the children. Several
Nebraska writers have essayed the
task of producing such books and
their efforts have met wiih iincom-
i llion success. One ot these Is Mrs.
Anna Tnngarl. Clark of Omaha who
has just received from the pri-ler a
charming: little story styled '"TheliCg
acy of Little lllesslng." Without waste)
of words ami In good Kngllsh, Mrs.
Clark produced a chronicle of tho
dally IIIV of a family or children, re
clllng tlu-lr Joys ami sorrows, their
triumphs ami vlcisslttidi s pot iia.Ung
the lordly tnilts of character of tho
little oii'-jj of the family and (specially
of Little lllesslng. Hark clouds now
and then put In an iippcnrniicn to
drive out the domestic sunshine only
for a time, yet there Is a tinge of
tragedy In the wandering away of Lit
tle lllesslng, who mysteriously disap
peared, every effort to lind her prov
ing abort ive. Tlie consequent gloom
III the household Is told effectively,
giving evidence of literary skill upon
tlie part of Ihe nut ho:. The Irrepa
rable loss of the dear one led at
leiiglh to a quest anion:; charitable In
stitutions orphanages, for a bright
little git I whose presence In the house
hold might, perchance, enable tho
heartsick mother to bear up under her
weight of woe. Obviously it was n
most dillictilt self -Imposed task, and tho
dlscoiusolate father and moiher (Mr.
and Mrs. Sherwood) despaired of find
ing a child at all acceptable. Finally
the matron of the Institule told them
f a little girl in tho invalid's room.
ti ml with some reluctance, the visitors
cut up to sen her. Only a glance re
filled the Identity of Little messing.
The meeting Is most dramatically por-
i.ved. As Is usual In children's story
books, everything ended happily. Th
moral of Mis. Clark's excellent lit t lo
story is the Invaluable work of rescu
ing homeless children which has been
arrieti on al (lie Child Saving Insti
tute (which, by the way, Is barely men
tioned); Hie author has Intimate
knowledge of the grand work being
done, hi nee her husband, Dr. A. W.
lark, fin's been superintendent of tho
Institute for many years, lint the ref-
fence to the institute Is only Inciden
tal. The book Is a child's story, pos
sessing the charm of human Interest,
recited Willi unusual clearness ""d
power. Price, 115 cents a copy; 50 of
more copies, 25 cents each.

see how I can bring myself to kiss you.
