In the Senate
The free high school bill, senate flit
41. by C'uri'le of Custer, the measure
which is considered the connecting
link between the common sohools and
the state university , was passed yes
terdav by the senate without a aingl
vote in opposition, A similar bill wsi
passed two years ago, but was found
to be defective and the supreme court
declarep It invalid. Two bills failed
to pass. One was a bill extending tin
mechanics, lien law to windmills and
wells. The other was simply a cura
tive bill, but when it came up for pass
age the senate concluded that the old
law was bad, and instead of doctoring
it, wiped it from the statutes. It was
a law authorizing road overseers to
plow along the side of roads for the
purpose of preventing the spread of
prairie fires.
A bill declaring bicycles to be bag-
gage ana requiring railroads to carry
them as such whs indefinitely post
poned on recommendation of the rail
road committee.
A bill providing that persons who
are in default of payment of taxes
shall not be eligible to office until
their taxes are paid was placed on
general flit without recommendation,
ne of the standing lokes of the sen
ate relates to the formation of the
committee on mines and minerals,
The republican majority made the en
tire minority aide compress this com
mittee. Yesterday ttie committee sub
mitted its first re part. It reported on
a bill that repenlv the law exempting
from taxation all tools used in coal
mining in this state, The committee
made no recommendation and the bill
was Wd on the nnortl O'K.III
of liolt, fusionlst' introduced a joint
memorial asking congress to withdraw
the American army now in the Philip
pines. The senate is tired of waiting on the
contracting printer. It is claimed that
some bills are held ten days, whereas
the statutes permit them to be held by
the printer only three days. A reso
lution was passed yesterday morning
for the purpose of holding the contrac
tor liable for the penalty of $26 tor
each failure to return a bill within the
limit

Something out of the ordinary run
was presented yesterday in the senate ,
by ITarrell of Merrick, I iislonist, in the '
form of a plan to hold an election to
decide the senatorial contest.

by the senate in the committee of the
whole yesterday, and was recommend
d for passage. Van puseu of Douglas
opposed it, and some others have ex
pressed objections.
The print'ipal ground taken by those
who opposed tho bill was that it was
so worded that it practically made
specific appropriation of the levy so
that the agents could use the money
without calling upon the legislature to
make a specific impropriation.

In the House
The house put in the time on educa
tional matters. In the morning near
ly the whole time was consumed in
listening to reports of standing com
mittees. A great number were placed
on general file. A resolution commend
ing the two Nebraska senators for
their efforts on the peace treaty and
also mentioning Colonel Hryan as com
ing in for a share of the praise for his
support of the administration on this,
measure was tabled. Thompson of
Clay secured the passage of a resolu.
tlon memorializing congress to see that
pay was given to the volunteer soldiers
who were dlseharired and reaulred the
services of physicians after their dls-'
charge because of diseases contracted
in the army.
The afternoon was spent in commit
tee of the whole. Another heated de
bate occurred on "curative" measures
which ended with no more definite un
derstanding than prevailed at the
commencement. Two library bills were
recommended for pussage. One pro
vides that school districts when the
electors of the dist ricts desire, may es
tablish libraries and make a levy for
the same. The other bill provides that
the state shall make an appropriation
of 13,000 ror the estabiialiracnt of a
circulating library, lioth measures
brought forth long discussions.

would be within the province of the
house to see that money was appropri
ated for securing a list of tho wounded
, and the nature of their wounds. The
house responded with a resolution
showing complete willingness to far
nlsh the money,
An important measure considered In
committee of the whole and agreed
upon was a bill by Olmsted of Douglas
county, modeled after the law iaefxeoe
in Ohio, to prevent corrupt practices'
at elections. The measure was amend
ed to prevent candidates tinder penal
ty from distributing cigars or drinks
or from expending money in several
otbee ways to further elections. It
prescribes the amount of money which
may be spent for a given number of
electors. At the close of each cam
paign tho candidate is to file a sworn
statement of the expenses and state la
this for what purposes the funds were
used. The measure elicited consider
able opposition at first but the mem
bers who had had varied experiences
in campaigning believed there should
be some protection from leg pullers
and demanders of hush money and for
that reason the law was agreed to.
The house passed three bills also yes
terday. One was to lower the tax on
dogs In cities of tho second class. An
other was to eliminate from the sec
tion of the statutes that portion which
permits the Investment of the perma
nent school fund in general f nnd war
rants. It is not understood that this
roessure prevents investment of state
school money in state securities, how
cvsr. A third bill passed legalizes ac
knowledgements and oaths taken and
administered by commissioners' of
dseds.
Tho report of the committee on priv
ileges and elections on the Fillmore
county contest was read just previous
to adjournment. All the members

Petitions from the western part of
the state were read favoring the ap
portionment of money for payment of
bounty on wolves, coyotes and wild
cats.
House roll No 70, Evans' banking
bill, was recommended by the stand
ing committee to be postponed.
Prince of Hall stated the objections
to the bill. It would tie up 6 per cent
of the deposit, which was too large an
amount of funds. The sinking fund
deposited with the state would place
the unstable institution on the same
level with those which have been con
ducted on thorough business princi
ples. From the standpoint of the de
positor, Mr. Prince thought tho bill
would carry down all the banks with
the others. The bill draws on solvent
banks to keep insolvent institutions la
a crisis which, it was thought, was a
vital objection.
At I o clock the house went into

"Warren's Money Chart" is the most profound,
forcible, and coovincing work that this great reform
movement has produced. It is amazing to see the
number of unanswerable facts that the author has
succeeded In crowding into so small a compass. To
the advanced student of political reform it Is Indla
pensible; while its simple form and style makes it
equally valuable to the beglnner.-L. C. Bateman,
Auburn, Maine, Nat'l Kduoational Committeeman.

THE WAY THEY DO IT,
China bucume the pry of Europe at
soon as the Japanese war demonstrated
that the Chinese paople would not fight
Indofwnse of their own country. The
partition of China merely means that
wrtaia nations secure to themselves the
exclusive right to construct railroads
and control com more within certain
geographical Hues, garrlnyoliig the terri
tory with thfllr own soldiers. They do
not depose the reigning viceroys; they
nominally reign, bat in reality are re
duced to the position of mare agents for
th commercial Interest of the nations
who claim the territory as their sphere
of Influence,
Kallroad building and the construc
tion of factories are rapidly taking place
In China, The partition of Cbloa means
that that country will becoma large
purchasers of Iron, steel rails, locomo
tives and machinery from Europe and
America for a few years, after which
China will become toe workshop of the
world, bocause of the tremendotm indus
trial power of five hundred millions of
laborers that will bt content with one
twentieth the wages paid to the average
American laborer.
Ho far as the consent of the laboring
and producing clasaes of Europe and
America Is given to the partition of
Chins, they are invitiogupon themselves
a terrible doom. Silver Knight.

Topxka, Kan., Feb. IS. Report re
ceived by W. II. Barnes, secretary of
the State Horticultural society, are
meager, but indicate that the severe
cold of the past few days baa don
great damage to Kansas fruit, partlcu-'
larly the peach crop.
"We will have to send outside of th
state for moat of our peaches." said
Secretary Itarnea. "Most of the
peaches have been killed, partlcnlarly
in the northern half of the state. Th
new growth is destroyed and, while I
have received but few returns, I be
lieve the damage will be considerably
larger than Is generally supposed.''
As a rule, apples are probably not
much damaged, although the aureery
trees may be. The young growth
probably Is more greatly damaged
than anything else."
