Loup C ity • or ihwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher LOUP CITY, - • NEBRASKA Scrutinize the Maxims. A busy clergyman declared recently that the way he got through his work was by violating most of the preceptr he had been taught in boyhood, fore most among them, ‘ If you want any thing done, do it yourself." The house keeper may take a leaf from his book For example, the task which she turns over to her daughter lightens her own hands and trains those of the little maiden. The most fatal precept for mother" to observe is, “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well'' —that Is, if “well" is interpreted to mean “as well as you can do it." Here is a place for her to use that judgment which comes so high in the markets of the world and is too often he.i so cheap in the home. "As well as possi. ble" is none too well when the 'task is making an apple pie or boiling a po tato; but the woman who dusts hot house from attic to cellar every day as well as she can do it lacks a sense of proportion. So does she who darns a pair of 25-cent stockings a half-hour a week for three months. “A penny saved is a penny earned” is another dangerous maxim, declares the Youth’s Companion, unless it is administered with discretion. Cheap milk may in volve large doctor’s bills. Cheat) eggs may mean an uneatable pudding. A low wage in the kitchen may carry with it waste far beyond its saving. Women are learning that being a Woman demands some knowledge of almost every subject of modern eco nomic inquiry, and that it is no longer possible to trust all the useful precepts of the past to solve the problems of the present. The extraordinary and practical suc cess that has attended the work of well-endowed government-sup]>orted in stitutions for the scientific study of disease and the systematic test of new methods for the treatment of such maladies as have hitherto resisted the efforts of physicians and surgeons is one of the most striking and promis ing features of present-day medicine. In the United States the most impor tant of the few institutions of this kind is the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, founded in 1901 by Mr. John D. Rockefeller. Under this endowment there is maintained in New York city •a well-equipped medical laboratory where a staff of trained investigators, free from the cares of routine practice, hospital work, or teaching, are concen trating their entire attention upon re searches which deal with the preven tion and cure of disease. As in other scientific institutions, where effective organization and adequacy of material equipment are most essential, remarks Herbert T. Wade, in the American Re view of Reviews, so that at the Rocke feller institute everything has been ar ranged in order that experimental medicine may be prosecuted under conditions most productive of good re sults. Some of the devices by which ignor ance tries to deceive intelligence are amusing. The largest coal field in the United States is that which extends from Casper and Douglas, Wyo., north ward to the Canadian line. Under the law which provides that coal lands of certain character and situation shall he withdrawn from homestead entry, investigation of this field has lately been made by government geologists. The coal here appears in what fs known as "blanket veins," which lie nearly parallel to the surface, so that an outcrop appearing on one side of a hill is likely to be found on the other side at the same elevation. But many of the ranchers and would-be settlers, maintaining that "coal lands." under the law, are only those in which the coal appears on the surface, have gone so far as to level the tops of hills to cover outcropping coal veins, under the delusion that they could deceive the geologists. Herculaneum lies under the modern villages of Portiei and Resina. In at tempting to excavate the buried city, the Italian government is encountering the problem of the property rights of the people who live on the modern level. The legal theory is that a land owner owns an inverted pyramid whose apex is the center of the earth —everything under him is his. But who inherits the property rights of the subsoil town which was buried 2.000 years ago? A law is pending to take by right of eminent domain the ground from under the Resina landowners, or at least the treasures It may conceal. A scientist has made a calculation about the time it will take to fill the world with all the people it will hold. The present population of the globe i3 supposed to be about 1,46",000.000. and he estimates that the maximum of the inhabitants that can be sustained on the eutire land surface of the earth is 5,994.000,000, and this figure will be reached A. D. 2072, or in about ISO years. Alfonso of Spain is a tine young man. Pity he gets these flighty spells! The king of Spain is going to try to fix up n match between King Manuel of Portugal and a niece of King Ed ward of England. This is a compli ment to Edward’s niece3. Alfonso has tried one. No iron ore *s ni'ned in the province of British Columbia. The only at tempt thereat, at Quasino Sound, Van couver it land, La’> been found unprofit able and abandoned. The mining of zinc ore is also practically at a stand still. PASSES THE SENATE LEGISLATURE NOW THROUGH WITH BANKING BILL. DEFEATS EMERGENCY CLAUSE Omaha Given Home Rule in Its Chart er.—Other Matters Considered in the Legislature. Banking Bill Passed. The depositors guaranty banking bill and the home rule Omaha charter were ratified by both the branches of the legislature on Friday. The bank ing bill which originated in the house was passed by the senate by a vote of 25 to 6 and the Omaha charter bill which originated in the senate was passed in the house by a vote of 78 to 13. The latter bill was passed with the emergency clause and the people of the metropolis may vote this, spring directly to elect their city en gineer and the members of their fire and police board. The banking bill was brought up for third reading as the last business of the afternoon session. Being placed on passage containing the emergency clause, the republicans voted against the bill for the purpose of striking this out. The democrats did not care to do this themselves, though several of their number were extremely anxious the bill should not be put in force on the day the governor will sign it. One or two of them begged republicans not to give the measure enough support to include the emer gency portion. As this would have had the result of overturning the pres ent banking system at once, the bill received only nineteen votes contain ing the clause to twelve against. Senators Banning and Laverty were paired. Senator Banning being obliged to be absent. On the vote to pass the bill without the emergency clause the roll call was as follows: Yeas — Bartos, Besse. Bodinson, Buck, Buhrman. Cain. Cox. Diers. Donohoe. Fuller. Hatfield, Henry, Howell. Ketchum. King, Klein, Majors, Miller. Myers. Ollis, Ransom, Tanner, Tib'uets. Volpp, Wilts*?—25. Nays—Brown, Gammill. Randall. Raymond, Thompson. Warren—tj. New Military Code The senate recommended for pas sage the nw military code bill by Law rence Dodge, which is merely an amendment of the present law, in ac cord with the amended Dick law. The measure will permit an added appro priation for armory rent in Omaha. Campaign Contributions. Publicity of campaign contributions was the subject of H. R. 242. by Mc Vickers of Dodge, and it was amended to provide that all contributions to funds above $25 must be made public. The measure was an amendment of the law already existing. Salary for Supreme Clerk. The house recommended for pas sage H. R. 86. by Leidigh of Otoe, the bill providing a salary for the clerk of the supreme court and providing that all fees collected by the clerk shall be paid into the treasury. The salaries fixed are as follows: Clerk. $4,000; deputy clerk. $2,500; reporter. $1,800; assistant reporter. $1,200; rec ond assistant reporter. $1,000; assist ant deputy, $l.o00; deputy librarian, $1,000; stenographer, $840. The Irrigation Bill. G. L. Shnmway of Scotts Bluff says, regarding senate file No. 174: “The executive committee of the American Irrigation Federation, of which 1 am chairman, declared some time ago for such a general provision in our irrigation statutes—a law to prevent anyone from impounding and holding .water in excess of his needs. Water is too vital an element to be held in storage when homemakers’ crops are burning up.” This committee consists of L. M. Wilcox, editor of the Field and Farm, Denver; Zera Snow, Oregon: .]. Tur ley, New Mexico; John McAlpine, Minnesota, and C. E. Brainard, Idaho; with Mr. Shnmway as chairman. He continued: “There are some vague or inexplicit points in the bill that might be recti fied. The law should provide that notice be served upon the primary ap plicant whenever anyone applies for i secondary permit. • Then, again, when lands are sup plied by an appropriation, which the owner thereof deems an insufficient supply, and he wishes a supplemental appropriation from the reservoir of another, the owner of the reservoir shall have first right to make the ap plication to furnish the supplemental supply. The government, having the best reservoir sites in Nebraska, it will be enabled to supply such other canals as may be short of water, and reduce the expense to the water users under its own project. No Telephone Bill. In committee of rhe whole the sen ate indefinitely postponed the bill by Senator Miller of Lancaster, placing regulation of telephone companies en tiroly in the control of the railway commission. The bill, Mr. Miller said, was for the purpose of conferring power upon the commission which it was exercising at present for the modi fication of rates and control of service of the telephone company, but which there was some doubt whether the railway commission act conferred to the extent the commission desired. Change in Assessor Law. The senate recommended for pas sage a bill relative to the election of assessors. H. It. 214 changes the ex isting election law to conform with ihe constitutional amendment for elec lion of supreme judges, provides for the election of precinct assessors every two years, beginning in 1909; dividing the counties into districts by township lines and specifying one as sessor for cadi city or village with 1.000 ] <>;;ulnt!on and in cities of over 4.0m0 pedple one assessor for each 4.000 people. STOCK YARDS HEARD, Taylor’s Bill Reducing Chargee Con sidered. A hearing; on Representative Tay lor's bill reducing charges of the South Omaha Stock Yards company was given by the committee on mis cellaneous subjects. The bill reduces yardage charges 20 per cent on cat tle. and on hogs 6 cents a head. It provides feed shall be sold not over 35 per cent above market price. Gen eral Manager Buckingham, supported by Senator Ransom, who questioned hint at intervals to bring out details, presented statistics of the company. He showed Its capital to be $7,500,000. of which $2 500,000 was given as a bo nus to get the packing houses to lo cate at South Omaha. Net earnings for a series of years have been as fol lows: In 1903. $508,804; 1904, $467, 700: 1905. $47J,000; 1906. $504,000; 1907, $490,000: 1908. $496,000. This, he said, paid 6 per cent on the stock, save a small annual deficit ranging from $7,000 a year ago to $700 last yssar. The committee decided to report the bill for passage, amended to make a reduction on yardage charges below present ratps averaging about 10 per cent on cattle and hogs. They de cided to leave the feeding charges as they are now. The present yardage chcrge of 25 cents a head on horses and mules are left unchanged. The maximum on car lots of cattle was cut from $8 to $7. The charge for hogs was left at 8 cents a head, on car lots the maxi mum was cut front $8 to $6. Yardage on sheep was cut from 5 to 4 cents a head. Suffrage in the Senate. l.oud applause rang through the gal leries of the senate when H. R. No. 120, a constitutional amendment granting suffrage to women, was placed oh tne general file by a vote of 18 to 13. The applause came from the many women who had come early and obtained seats in the gallery for the purpose of witnessing the contest that was expected to take place. While the bill was saved from instant de feat. the vote cast showed that it still lacks one vote necessary to its pas sage. Twenty votes are required in the senate to submit a constitutional amendment to a vote of the people. As the senate indefinitely postponed a bill of this nature early In the ses sion, it is generally believed the nec essary additional vote cannot be ob tained. Physicial Valuation Bill. The Ollis physical valuation bill was recommended for passage after the $40,000 had been cut off it. This was believed necessary because the bill originated in the senate. The appro priation will be added to the present appropriation bill. Saturday Holiday Lost. H. R. 255. by Humphrey of Lancas ter, was indefinitely postponed by the house in the committee of the whole with little? ceremony. It was a case of "No Sunday baseball; no Saturday afternoon holidays,” as Soheele of Seward expressed it. Pushing Irrigation Bill. Senator Raymond of Scott’s ISluff is still urging S. F. 174. providing for condemnation of reservoir sites for benefit of water users. Agitation against the bill has not ceased in his home county, but he insists it is be cause the fear of the tri-state canal, which he declares is without founda tion in this instance. Anti-Jao Bill for Passage The house recommended for passage the Howard anti-Japanese bill. Later Nettletou of Clay moved for a recon sideration of the action, but he failed to receive the necessary fifty-one votes and the bill is now up for third reading. Two Bills Favored. The house recommended for passage two liquor bills, H. R. 284, by Henry of Holt preventing the sale of liquor to Indians and H. R. 260, by Barrett, providing that the bartender as well as the saloonkeeper is responsible for the sale of liquor to minors. New Building for Omaha Institute. The house recommended for pas sage the bill providing for an appro priation for a new building at the In stitute for the Deaf at Omaha. The bill originally carried an appropria tion of $50,000, but it was cut'down to $30,000. Taxation Bill Is Killed. The house indefinitely postponed the bill permitting assessors to exam ine the records of banks in order to uncover property subject to taxation. Killed Ransom's Bill. Unwilling to expend the sum of $27, 000 for the revision of the Nebraska statues, the senate refused to pass Senator Ransom's bill, the vote being 7 to 25. The bill provides that the governor should appoint three com missioners with qualifications of su preme judges, to go over the statues, j'evise and codify them, eliminating obsolete portions and bringing them up to (late. Each commissioner was to receive $3,500 per year and have a $1,000 stenographer. No Inquisition on Banks. After a hard fight oil ihe floor of the house the bill by Pries of Howard to provide that assessors may have the right to enter a bank and check up its books in order to make an as sessment on the deposits >vas killed. Governor Signs Paint Bill. Gov. Shallenberger attached his name to the pure paint bill. H. R. 140. introduced by Killen of Gage county, against which the paint men of the western territory were arrayed at a public hearing. Purchase of Wayne Normal. The North Platte country received recognition -it the hands of the house of representatives after a hard fight, and as a result the bill providing for the pi rchase of the Wayne Normal school was recommended for passage McVicker of Dodg* moved an amend ment that the $100,000 appropriation be increased to $180,000 and to in clude the purchase of the Fremont Normal school. Thi3 amendment, however, was taken to bo a:i effort merely to de.cat i o bill, and ii wrs i not allowed to work interference. NEBRASKA IN BRIEF NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS.

Mount Colima, is not j causing much anxiety among the i»eo- j pie of this town. The volcano has been in an almost constant slate of semi-activity, with occasional out bursts of fire and lava for more than a century. The natives, who live almost within its shadow, ate used to the ferocious displays of the old mountain. It is really a very enjoyable form of entertainment for the people of Tuxpan. in its most violent pe Mount Colima in Action. riods, when the heavens are lighted with the glowing (lames and tire from its crater the Mexicans here sit at their o|»en windows and doors and lounge upon the benches in the pretty plaza and view the grand spectacle in silent wonder. “Is it not grand!" they comment, one to another. To the natives the eruption does not portend their possible destruction. Hut they fear the earth tremblings which frequently accompany the erup tions. An earthquake in Tiucpan, such ts lias been occurring at frequent in tervals since the volcano showed re newed signs of activity, quickly brings he whole populace into ihe streets. It is said by scientists that these seis nlc disturbances are wholly local in character and are directly connected with the eruption of the volcano. Mount Colima is the only active vol cano upon the North American conti nent. It had very few serious erup tions during the eighteenth century, and the villages of the natives crowd ed close up to its base. It was not until 18i;9 that the first violent outburst in its history occurred. Much destruction of property and some loss of life resulted from that eruption. Other eruptions occurred in 1872, 1873, 1875 and 1903. The peak of Mount Co lima rose to a heigh: of 12.S00 feet up to the eruption of 1903. when its top was torn off and the height of the mountain considerably reduced. A few dariug scientists have climbed Mount Colima, with the view of making a close investigation of its crater during the more passive pe riods of the old mountain. The- trip is considered very hazardous at any time on account of the deep barrancas that must be crossed. WOULD SAIL TO NORTH POLE. G. E. Nit-che Preparing for Dash with Balloons and Aeroplanes. New York.—George K. Nitzche. head of the department o. publicity in the University of Pennsylvania, is G2SOBGE. NiTZCHC. making preparations for a dash to the north pole next July by means of bal loons and aeroplanes. Undeterred by he fate of Andre and the failure of Wellman, Mr. Nitzche will make the attempt along novel lines. He will carry to the island of Spitzbergen hree balloons, and probably in addi tion an aeroplane. Spitzbergen is 1,035 miles north of the arctic circle and several hundred miles east of the north coast of Greenland. If the weather is good he will have a straight course to travel until he reaches his goal. The island of Spitz bergen was carefully inspected las', summer by Mr. Nitzche, who with a party of 30 made a preliminary trip on the steamship Kongharold. The weather during the survey was so mild that Mr. Nitzche was encouraged to believe that with good fortune the coming summer would be also a mod erate one and he would not be com pelled to combat the elements at the start. His Silence Purchased. Young Man—Sir. I have come to de mand the hand of your daughter. Banker—Sir! What do you mean, you young— Young Man—Her hand, sir, is the price of my silence. Banker—My! my! This insolence is unbearable. George, call a policeman! Young Man—One moment, sir. You mistake. I know nothing of your af fairs, and do not for a moment imagine that you have been guilty of any wrong-doing. The silence I al luded to is of another sort. I am the young man who practices on the cor net in the boarding-house next door. Banker—-Oh! Take her away, my son, and be happy.—New York Weekly. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE. Usually There Are Other Trouble* to Prove It. Pain in the back is pain in the fcid j neyg, in most cases, and it points to the need of a spe cial remedy to re lieve and cure the congestion or in flammation of the j kidneys that is in terfering with their ; work and causing that pain that makes you say: "Oh, my hack.” Thompson Wat- I kins, professional j nurse, 420 N. 23d j St., Parsons, Kans., says: “For some time 1 was an noyed wilh sharp twinges across the small of my back and irregular pas sages of the kidney secretions.
