ZUCKWEILER&LUTZ Tiir itnu nt m Mu IN HOOSEAT LINCOLN The following Is a possible extract from the Journal of the Nebraska house of representatives: The Speaker: "We will now vote on the bill for the relief of the In digent poor. The clerk will call the roll." A Member: "Mr. Speaker, I raise to a point of order. There Isn't a quorum present." The Speaker: "The scrgeant-at-arms will bring In a quorum." A Member: "I move we adjourn over to next week. The fish are bltln down In my section and I want to pursue the finny tribe." Another Member: "Second the motion. Unlike my distinguished friend, I am not a disciple of Iaak Walton. Mr. Speaker, sir, I am a devotee of the piscatorial art. But plowing Is mighty good Just now." A Third Member: "Second the motion.

When my constituency sent me here " Voice from the Omaha section: "Aw, cut It Out;" "Print It;" "Set down." First Member: "My Speaker, a mo tion to adjourn is not debatable.

The Pharisee who prayed In the tem plo o. k-ed himself and he has been despised ever since, while on the other hand, the publican who stood back and humbly smote bis breast has been held up as an example of people who are honest with them selves. So should we all, of course, be honest with ourselves. It Is good, Immensely good, to take a searching look at ourselves every now and then; Just to see how cheap and ridiculous and inconsequential we are. There Isn't any question that, viewed from any angle, the observance of Lent Is beneficial.

Washington, March 4. Complete exoneration of the officers of the Phil lpplne Is. amis charges of Irregularities or Improprie ties In connection with the admlnlstra tion, sales or leases of lands In the Philippines, yet, on the othex hand, pointed criticisms of the inadequacy of the present laws to prevent uionop olies In what are known as the "friar lands," are expressed In both the ma jority and minority reports of the house committee on Insular affairs sub mitted to the house. The charge made on the floor of the hoiiBe a year ago by Representative Martin (Colo.) that the so called sugar trust had acquired 56,000 acres of the "friar lands" led to an investigation of the entire question of the admin- ' r t noQ i Miirrowi Xtwn Hf .... o..iii and confined to his room for about " .

Red Oak, la., March 4 Three men, charged with contempt of court, grow ing out of bootlegging charges, were convicted In Judge O. D. Wheeler's court here. C. T. Archer, the principal defend- Istration of public lands as weli as ant, was fined $30 ana costs on the "friar lands.1 Both reports concur In the opinion that the organic act of 1902 In limiting Individuals to forty acres and cor porations to 2,500 acres In the amount of public land that may be acquired does not impose the same restrictions on the disposition of the "friar lands." The majority report argues that as a , prsonmeni I .. ,lla..t Un "trior Innriu" contempt charge, and received an ad ditional fine-of $200 and costs on the charge of running a gambling game. Everett Campbell and Pearl S. Ever hart, the latter a negro, were each fined $30 and costs. Everhart and Archer both paid their fines, but Campbell submitted himself to lm two weeks with Brlght's disease, died last evening at his home In Mynard. Mr. Murray was one of the pioneers of this county, having come here from Missouri with his parents when a boy William R. Murray was born in Moniteau county, Missouri, September 29, 1840, and came to Cass county In 1856. He resided with his parents on a farm until his marriage. He was married July 12, 1863, to Miss Har riet Jean of this county, who survives. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Murray, five of whom survive to mourn his death. One daughter, Mary, died In Infancy, and another, Mrs. Ella Emery, died about a year ago. One son, William Murray, was killed by accident about two years ago. The surviving children are: Mrs. Lorena Parker of Plattsmouth; Mrs. Alice Fleming, Mrs. Ada Long worth and Mrs. Harriet Truelson, all of Omaha, and Nelson Murray of Mynard. Two brothers and four sister suruvlve the deceased, namely: L. C. W. Murray of this county, and The deecased was a highly respect ed and valued citizen, having resided in this vicinity for the past fifty-flvo years. He wa3 of a genial and socia ble nature, an obliging neighbor aad a kind husband and father. For many years Mr. Murray was engaged in stock raising and ship ping on a large scale, owning one of the finest farms in the county, n which he erected a large residence. In more recent years Mr. Murray retired from the stock business and removed to Mynard, where he had been engaged In shipping grain, own ing tnd operating the elevator In this city. The funeral will occur Sunday af ternoon at 2 o'clock from the resi dence, and will be conducted by Rev. A. E. Wachtel. Interment will take place at the Horning cemetery. Thus has passed away one of the early pioneers of Cass county, and a citizen who was beloved and highly respeted by all who knew him. ANOTHER VERY PLEASANT OCCASION YESTERDAY The tanton season Is now on In full blast, having started In last Wednes day, March 1. This Is the season In which the Christian denominations employ more or less for restraint and pentlnce. This Is a wholesome prac tice, and should bo honored In the observance more generally than It Is, whether from religious motives or from motives that regard only the temporal welfare. There are various and cogent reasons. First of all, we In this country go at too rapid a par. We do not relax frequently enough. We are upon a continuous mental and physical strain and frequently the tension does not relax until wo are brought down by the collapse of over taxed nature. Then, we eat too much, not only of flesh meat, but of everything else that Is edible. Also we drink too much, generally speak ing, and smoke too much. For the foregoing excesses we have dyspep sia, rheumatism, diabetes and heart disease. We take our other pleas ures with the same Immoderation. We act as though we were living only for a day. The Lenton period affords an opportunity for rest and recupera tion ,and It Is at a season of year when relaxation does the body most good. Then there Is the matter of reflec tion, of introspection and of pent tence. Who Is thero so proper that lie does not need an ocaslonal In ventory of his conduct, of bis rela From Friday's Do'ly. Another very pleasant occasion yes terday was the meeting of the Ladles' Aid society of the M. E. church, held with Mrs. Amelia Swift and at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Morgan on North Sixth street, during tha after noon. The usual Diisiness session was held and entered Into with much In terest and enthusiasm. Following the business session the ladles In dulged In social conversation and various amusements, which assisted In making the afternoon entertain ment so delightful. Delicious refresh ments were Berved at the proper time, which the ladles likewise thoroughly enjoyed. There were a large number In attendance. Don't Ict It Happen AgAin. Mr. R. L. Propst cf Mynard was In the city this afternoon and dropped Into the Journal office to say that some party known to him had poisoned a nice little spit dog which was a pet of his children. This Is the third dog which has gone In this way within a year. The next time It oc curs Mr. Propst says there will be somethlrg doing. And he looked as though ho meant It. practical expedient the "friar lands' should be disposed of In larger quan titles to attract buyers, while the mi nority claim that the sale of the "friar lands" In large tracts may de velop a system of absentee landlord ism as obnoxious to the Filipinos as that of the friars, against whom they once rebelled. The latter also suggest that a friendly proceeding be begun In the courts by the officers of the Philippine government to determine the exact legal status of the "friar lands" with respect to public lands regulations. Alleged Sugar Trust Deal. As to the acquisition by B. L. Poole of 56,000 acres of the "friar lands" on behalf of Horace Havemeyer, Charles J. Welch and Charles H. Senff, repre sentatives, declare the house officials Involved were not culpable, being guld cd by the best available Interpreta tions of the law. The majority members, however, deny that the land was obtained by the sugar trust, while the minority assort thnt If the sugar trust did not acquire it, "the next door neighbor to the sugar trust" did, and that there Is apparently "a community of Interest, evidencing a holding by one person of upwards of 56,000 acreg of land. The minority accepts the situation as unavoidable, but holds the incident up as a wsrnlng against "further ex ploitation of lands by American capi talists," and suggests that no more sales of large tracts of the "friar lands" be consummated pending the action of congress or the outcome of court proceedings that might be In stituted by the Philippine officials.
