Ed. and Pub. The house passed the child labor bill Tuesday, but as the present leg islature is contracting the habit of doing and then undoing things, there is no cinch on their not gigging back on this. The senate last week killed the anti-lobby bill. Evidently the senate has not the effeminacy ascribed to the house and thinks its members strong enough to escape the over-persuasive arguments of lobbyism. Kro. Brown was home from his legislative duties over last Sunday, returning to Lincoln Monday morn ing. He is having the experience of his years, but we'll wager money, marbles or chalk that he is not in fatuated with legislative life. Missouri is spelling reform w ith a mighty big “G," and is “showing" the rest of the states, by passing a law fining any one for taking “tips." Now. how do the Missouri lawmakers expect the conductors and porters on sleeping cars and waiters at hotels to live? We’ll have to take it back. Last week we stated the joint railroad committee of both houses had decided against a 2-eent per mile passenger rate, but later reports seem to have it that the jointers have decided on a 2-eent fare, which will probably be enacted into law. All the members of the state lumber dealers’ association are subpoenaed to appear before the court in Lincoln, Feb. 21st as witnesses in the case of the state against the associotion. A. B. Outhouse, of the Keystone com pany of Loup City, is one of the lucky ones for a free ride at the state's expense. The house did one good thing last week in refusing to spend several hundreds of dollars in having a print ed report of the previous days’ doings . laid on members desks each morning. It would have been a good thing for j the printers, but a useless outlay of money to the state. The senate, how ever did not see out of the same goggles and decided to get rid of some 1 of the state's money in the way spoken of. The legislature has evidently heard of Mayor Jim Dahlman’s famous defy of law in his issue of an order to his chief of police in Omaha to allow the saloons of that city to run wide open i on Sundays, as a bill has been intro duced to remove any officer who fails to see that laws are enforced. The trouble with Cowboy Jim svas that after his election to the mayorality of the state of Omaha lie imagined himself bigger than the whole official push of Nebraska. The fellows in the legislature who want to gain name and fame by in troducing measures along anti-rail road lines are hostile in their feelings against a joint committee oi both houses on questions pertaining to above. But fortunately this feeling: is confined mostly to the fusion cle-j merit, who can not bear to see the re- j publican party promulgate the neces sary rate laws, of which they would have the people believe they are the prophets, sages and sears. 1’oor dying political powers. Among the successful contestants in the cow judging contest at the Ne braska Dairymen’s Association at Lincoln last week, two Sherman coun ty men were among those who re ceived a percentage of the awards. The contest was the placing of three Jerseys, two Holsteins, one Shorthorn and one grade Red-Polled in the rel ative order in which they should stand as producers of butter. A cow correctly placed counted seven points and the highest possible score was forty-nine. A. J. Johnson of Loup City scored 43 points and J. L. Pray of Logan township scoretf 45 points. The Woman’s Club of this city last week sent the following memorial to Representative Brown and Senator Thomson, accompanied by a largely signed petition, favoring House Roll No. f», the child labor bill, and Senate File No. 50. favoring compulsory education. Here it is: “Believing that the Child Labor Law affords in sufficient protection for children, and that Nebraska should adopt a mers ure similar to those enforced in Illinois and other states, which have recently considered this question, we the undersigned, hereby endorse House Roll, No. 9yand also believing that one of the most effective means of preventing child labor is a strong compulsory education law, we hereby endorse Senate File No. 50, and earnestly request your support of these two measures.” I———WWM— Improve the Cemetery. Some time ago, a number of our citizens met together for the purpose of bettering ttie at present shameful condition of our cemetery grounds. C. J. Tracy was elected ''chairman and 11. II. Mathew secretary of the meet ing. A committee of three, consisting of the chairman, secretary and Bird Draper, was elected to audit the ac counts of the association and to as certain its real financial condition. The report of the committee, whic thoroughly overhauled the books and accounts of the association, shows the original cost of the grounds, their survey and organizing to be $907.57, of which arnout $410 was covered by the sale of lots, thus leaving in the year 188.7 an indebtedness of $497.57 which lias for twenty-two years liorne interest at 10 per cent. The books, which are open to the public inspec tion, show that the sale of lots has scarcely more than paid the interest, there lieing $53.34 now on baud, which applied on the debt reduces it to $443.(50. Tlie conynittee could find no raissapropriation, nor that the pres ent management had accepted any thing lor salaries or services. Some of our public spirited citizens have started a move to pay otf this in debtedness by public subscription and ttie sale of lots at the regular price of $15.00 each. Among others who have offered to subscribe is A. P. Colley, who pledged $50. Many have offered to buy lots, as an investment, if nothing else. -vs soon as me inaeoieaness is re moved the cemetery may be taken under village control, and all future receipts will then be applied to tlie improvement of t ne grounds. At present, horses, cattle, and hogs may be seen running at large through tue cemetery, destroying improvements that hav been placed there, a con dition of affairs disgraceful to the fair name of the community. It will not he difficult, to, before i the next Decoration Day, remove ! the indebtedness, place a substantial1 fence around the grounds, and make our cemetery an object of lasting beauty. Let us do so. *** The Board of Managers for the State Fair, to be held the first week of next September, have made the ( following appointments of controlling officers: William Foster, Jamaica, General Superintendent.

Dispatches in tne daily papers an nounce the suspension of fclie grocery department of the Sears Roebuck mail order concern ‘‘because its mainten ance lias been made impractictable by the national pure food laws just pass ed.” What a confession it is. If you had Ur interpret the news item would you conclude it is true that, compelled by law to sell pure food, the mail or der house is driven out of business? Can it be that in the past and in the absence of a law forbidding under heavy penalties the sale of impure or adulterated food the mail order houses have made a practice of selling impure food? is that the reason they have been able to undersell focal competi tion? That is the case with every article sold by tiie average mail order house. Grocery adulteration is for bidden and so the grocery business of the mail order houses is abandoned. We>re laws to be enacted making the sale of bum clothing unlawful, tl e clothing department would go out ol business. Were it a crime to sell fur nieure cheaply constructed out ot poor material their furniture depart ments would go out of business.

No escaping steam to dissipate the aroma. The "Universal" is the QUICKER way, because the auto matic valve—a feature no other percolator possesses—forces the water through the coffee while it is gradually increasing in temperature. The "Universal" is extracting the nutritious properties of the coffee bean with lukewarm water while other machines are getting ready to start with boiling water. Simple in construction—easy to clean. By raising the glass dome all the working parts arc removed from the machine at one operation. No overflow, the boiling process is eliminated, and require* no watching after placing on the stove. „ / \ Made of pure aluminum and "Elite" enamel ware—different styles and sizes, $2.50 up. /1 l MIST - 5ALLAWAY MM CO. 4 I +38J. 1.
