bills for necessaries was indefinitely

mendation of the judiciary commit
tee. to which it had been referred.

; would doubtless he killed in the sen

I SENATE— IhC question of what
| shall constitute a legal newspaper for
I the purpose of publishing legal no
tices consumed the greater portion
of the morning time of the senate
on the 7th. Senator Owens intro
duced the bill some time ago. one of
its provisions being that a paper must
be published fifty-two consecutive
weeks in a county 1 efore it can right
fully be used for publication of legal
notices. This was amended in com
mittee of tlie whole so as to reul
twenty-six instead of fifty-two. The
same section met with prolonged dis
cussion in committee of the whole
the day before, and the amendment
was declared lost by one vote. Today,
after considerable wrangling, and af
ter a motion to reconsider had been
carried the* rommmittee took up the
debated point again. Ransom moved
to substitute twenty-six for fifty-two.
Young opposed this, and tiien O'Neill,
in reply, stated that he thought cir
culation should control instead of
length of time a paper has been pub
lished. Senator Edgar also spoke in
opposition to the amendment. It
was declared carried on a rising vote,
eighteen voting for it and the nega
tive not being put. Senator O’Neill’s
bill relative to the duties of the clerk
of the supreme court was re onimend
ed for passage. It Is senate file No.
41, and provides that the rierk shall
prepare the opinions of the court
when he lias sufficient material to
form a volume of not less than 900
pages. Two thousand of these he
shall deliver to the state auditor and
draw from the state treasury $1.50
for each volume. Amendments to the
present law relating to soldiers’ and
sailors’ homes were recommended.
As changed the law will permit vet
erans of the war of 1812, Mexican
war, civil war and Spanish-American
war, together with their widows or
mothers, to be admitted to the state
institutions after two years’ residence
in the state. This is senate file No.

day on the fith. More than a dozen
bills were read for the first time, sev
eral for the second time and some

wa3 discussed, and before its final
disposition was responsible for some
caustic remarks between the mem
bers. The bill provides that before a
paper may be designated as an official
organ it shall have been published
fur flftjf-two consecutive weeks. The
bill was referred back to the commit
tee. Serator Miller presented a pe

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
A radical change In the laws relat
ing to the finances of Omaha is pro
posed by a bill introduced in the sen
ate by Senator Martin on request of
Senator Balbridge. It provide.? for the
issuance of certificates of indebted
ness, to be signed by the mayor and
comptroller of the city, whenever
they deem them necessary, these nev
er to be sold for less than their pay
value, together with accumulated in
terest. They may draw as high as 5
per cent interest, but no more.
The house committee on plumbers
and plumbing decided to report fa
vorably on Uhl's bill, which provides
for the creation of plumbers commis
sions in towns of 25,000 population or
over. The measure is intended for
the protection of plumbers and to this
end provides for the issuance of li
censes to candidates who meet the
requirements prescribed
On motion of Attorney General
Prout, the suits of the state against
the Missouri Paeillc and Rock island
rallii^ads for alleged violations of the
maximum freight rate Jaw were con
tinued by the supreme court until
such time as he could satisfy himself
as to the exact limitations of the fed
eral court injunction of 1893.
***
Senator Cummins has introduced a
bill, which, if passed, will create a
new appointive office, tiiat of state
prosecutor. This official is to be ap
pointed by the governor. He is to
furnish a $3,000 bond, and to draw a
salary of $1,500 a year, and he shall
have all necessary and reasonable ex
penses paid In addition. It shall bo
his duty to investigate all fires sup
posed to haev been of incendiary
origin, and, in fact, to investigate
everything of a criminal nature he be
lieves to exist in the state.
**?
With the signature of the governor
affixed, the lawn known as house toll
88, relating to the method of draw
ing juries, goes on the statute hook,
and as it has an emergency clause it
becomes of immediate effect. To all
intents and purposes, and probably so
tar as the legislators who passed it
know, the act is simply curative, cor
recting the wording so as to make
it apply to Lancaster county under the
new* census, which has reduced Its
population below the limit of 70,000.
The really important part of the
measure, however, is that it works fi
complete change in the system of
drawing grand juries, not only in
Lancaster, hut in Douglas county as
well, by putting them on tile same
footing with petit juries.
Mt *
Senator Baldrige’s bill providing
for the appointment,of nine commis
sioners by the supreme court for as
sistance of the court, has been recom
mended for passage. These commis
sioners are to he appointed by the
court by unanimous vote, and their
offices are to continue for two years,
unless the appointments are with
drawn in less time by unanimous vote
of the court. Each is to receive a
salary of $2,500 per annum.

AS TO THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES
Condition of the Sugar fleet futluulry In

Adopted — 31 lirflla iitoim 31 .»t tern in
Nebraska.
__
OMAHA, Nob., Feb. 11.—Tho Ne
braska Hoot Sugar association held a
meeting at the Commercial club
rooms. From out of the city there
came M. R. Allen, president, Ames;
W. G. Whitmore, Valley and Jame3
Walsh of Benson. A large number of
the Omaha members were in attend
8 nee.
Mr. Allen in calling the meeting to
order announced that its purpose was
to consider laws now pending in con
gress which will affect the sugar beet
industry, la a brief adress he took
up the question of the reciprocity
treaties with tropical islands and
countries now’ being considered and
stated 'that in each case the sugar
producers of the United States would
bo injured should the treaties be rati
fied. To the satisfaction of the mem
bers of the association he show’ed
that where the tariff was reduced on
raw sugar by a treaty it not only re
duced the revenues of the government,
but brought the sugar raisers of this
country into competition with cheap
er labor and the more advantageous
climatic conditions of the tropical
i sugar plantations.
He then referred to the conditions
of the sugar beet industry in the state,
showing that for some things Ne
barska is better situated for the suc
cessful cultivation of the crop than
many other states which are now in
advance of this state in acreage ami
field. The principal advantage pos
sessed by Nebraska in this regard is
because of its geographical situation
with reference to the live stock mar
kets. It has been demonstrated that
the refuse of the beets after the sugar
is extracted is one of the best mate
rials for fattening stock. Referring
to his own experience he said that at
Ames at present his company is feed
ing 30,000 sheep which will be placed
on the South Omaha market when
they are fattened, and that until the
food became scarce they were feeding
a large number of cattle on the beet
refuse.
The reciprocity treaty was dis
cussed by the members present at
length and at the conclusion of the
discussion the following resolutions
were adopted.
Resolved, That the reciprocity
treaties with the British West Indies,
if ratified by the senate will endanger
domestic sugar production, an indus
try specifically promised the aid of
the republican party.
Resolved, That the suspension of
the Dingley law as to the payment of
countervailing duties on sugar im
ported from Russia is not fair to do
mestic sugar and involves a risk of
leading to a much wider application.
FOR COMFllSORY EDUCATION.
Teacher*' I.rgiolutive Ccuiiulltee Trepan*
Mtafciire to TresoDt at I.taroln.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 11.—The leg
islative committee of the State Teach
ers’ association at a meeting agreed
on an entirely new law to be substi
tuted for'the present one relating to
compulsory education. One of its
< hief features is the requirement that
all children between the ages of 7
and 14 years shall attend school two
thirds of the number of weeks school
is held in the district where the child
resides. in all districts other than
city districts truant officers may be
appointed by the board to see that the
provisions of the act are enforced. In
case the board shall fail to select a
truant officer the director shall act in
that capacity. Boards of education in
cities shall appoint one or more such
officers at their discretion.
A peculiar feature of the proposed
bill, and one that will evidently prove
fatal to the accomplishment of what,
it seeks, is lack of any punishment for
parents or guardians who violate its
provisions. The present law. sub-di
vision 16 of chapter 79, is entirely re
pealed.
It is made the duty of the census
enumerator eac h year to ascertain the
date and p’ace of birth of each child
in the district, and he is empowered
to administer an oath or affirmation
to one from whom he desires informa
tion. Any person refusing to take such
oath or affirmation subjects himself to
a fine of not less than $1 nor more
than $10.
