PICKINS Powell. Nebraska Senator Twenty-third District. Governor’s Maintenance. The house started pla\ a little politics when the genera, maintenance bill was up for consideration and the iter”, for Tbe i -d of s» .erect ? ser vants and immediate fumi!> was being discussed. Ten democrats voted with the republicans to retain the item in the bill, although this is the first time such an item has ever appeared in a general maintenance bill. Plenty of Work Left. Just what will be done about a sift ing committee in the house is a matter of conjecture. Most of the members who have been heard to express them selves about it believe it is .still toe early to begin operation under the con trol of this committee. In fact, a sift ing committee will not be appointed until it is absolutely necessary, or un til a majority of members give up hopes of reaching their bills in the general order of business. The White Slave Bill. Without indulging in debate and without the slightest opposition the senate recommended for third read ing Senator Horton's bill prohibiting and providing severe penalties for en gaging in the white slave” traffic. A procurer, under this bill Is liable on a first conviction for a county jail sen tence from six months to a year or a fine up to $1,000. and on a second of fense a penitentiary sentence of from three to ten years is provided. Only Bill Recommended. The Smith bill, the one that so far has met with the approval of the standing committee of the house, elim inates entirely the ten year provisions of the present county seat law. Other wise there is no change between it and the present statute. It meets the exigencies of the occasion by leaving the relocation open to all the towns in a county without favoring county seats which now have the advantage of the ten year clause. Democratic Joint Caucus. A short joint caucus of the house and senate democrats was held at the Lincoln hotel. Reapportionment was the main subject under discussion al though other party pledges were talked over informally.

Talcott’s Ventilation Bill. Chief in importance among the bills so far passed by the senate was Tal cott's bill providing for the proper san itation and ventilation of factories. The bill also provides for guarding fiangerous machinery. Protects Poo Drinkers. Bodison of Kearney made his Ini tial speech by moving that S. F. 285 be ordered engrossed for third read ing. He introduced the bill, and it rpeaks for itself. It declares it to be n misdemeanor for any manufacturer lo sell pop or other non-alcoholic drinks containing saccharine or coal tar sweeteners. Talcott explained that the bill would hit some manufacturers who are underselling others by using a cheap er sweetener. It was ordered en grossed for third reading. OUTLOOK ran PEKOE MEXICANS THINK IT WILL COME IN A SHORT TIME. MINISTER LIMANTOUR ARRIVES % Hi* Coming at This Time Hailed as a Harbinger for Settlement of the Strife. — Sun Luis Potosi, Mexico.—To a rep resentative of the Mexican Herald, Minister Limantour said: "1 expect the prompt termination of the present revolt against the gov ernment." his first comment for publi cation since he left New York. His arrival was heralded by the national hymn, rendered by one of the regi mental bands stationed here. While the train waited Minister Limantour received several official and private persons. _ Mexico City.—Jose Yves Limantour, on his private ear. moving as a spe cial. will arrive here some time be fore noon Monday, barring unfore seen delays, according to the best information obtainable. The car was dropped from the reg itlar southbound train from Laredo at Monterey late Sunday night and leu that city at 7:3b a. m. Monday, thus avoiding a night run through the mountains to the south. News of the breaking of the journev reached here t in delayed dispatches. The reason given was the illness ol Mrs. Limantour. which at the same j time was said to be not serious. Her i health, which was one of the reasons for the finance minister's long stay in France, not having been fully restored was said not to have been equal to the -train of the continuous run from New | York Belief n the wisdom of precaution ..ry measures was also thought ic have had some weight in bringing about the stopover. The night run ! south would have been through a mountainous district well suited tc 1 the plans of an irresponsible, who 1 might hnv felt called on to hinder the progress of the spei ial car party. By leaving ia the morning many miles were put between the travelers and .-.nv district in which disturbance* i have occurred before nightfall. No information regarding the move ments of the minister and his party was forthcoming from official sources in some quarters, usually worthy of consideration, it was advanced as a reason of the delay in the northern , city to a desire on the part of Senor Limantour to shun the demonstration which had been prepared for him. His coming was to have been the occasion of an elaborate tribute to his popularity in which all elements of the capital's society were to have tak en part. Committees of government officials, students and nearly every branch of professional and industrial life were to have given the returning traveler a spectacular ovation at the railway station.

The indictment charged grand larceny The court held she had co moral right to take the money from her husband’s trousers pockets, but that she could not be punished under the law.

Nellie McCaffery. whom he had This is Declared No Crime. iccused of going through his pockets ( *hi!e be slept and abstracting $3. In I making his complaint McCaffery an nounced : “It is not that I object to losing the {3. Judge, but this thing occurs three or four times a week, and I would like :o know some manner in which I may j stop the pilfering." Judge Belcher, & married man him 1 self and father of a large family, told McCaffery that there was but one : thing for him to do, to discharge the woman, as the money in a husband's pocket belonged as much to the wife is to the husband. "Then, judge.” asked McCaffery. '1 ; have a perfect right to her purse and abstract her household money?" "Oh. no; she could have you arrest , ?d if you did that." said Judge Belcher, but there are several ways of stop ping the difficulty You see." the Judge continued. “I have had some experi ence myself—now yon mustn't take that literally, but I have solved the j problem. There are several ways. In j •.he first place you might hide your ; :rousers when you go to-bed. Of course Four wife might find them. Again j Fou might go to bed wearing your irousers. then again each night yon j might leave your money in the keeping af some friend before you return Some. You might purchase a safe for Four home and refuse to let your wife snow the combination. “But the safest and surest way tc 1 save your money w hen you get up In , be morning is to sew it to the inside if your pajamas each night. Sew it on j be back of your night clothes and I ben always sleep on your back.” McCafferty left the court room with be avowed intention of purchasing a , strong box. declaring that he could not ! tccept the more economical solution if the magistrate as he "never slept on Ms back." SHARKS STOP A STEAMSHIP _ Sailors Held Man-Eaters With Knives but They Could Not Drive Them Away. Port Limon, Costa Rica.—Sharks ; delayed the progress of the Royal Mail steamship Marima. which ar rived here, and for three days it drift ed idle and helpless because of a school of about 20 man-eaters that j hovered about her stern. During a storm a quantity of rope j hf the afterdeck was washed over board and became hopelessly tangled n the propeller. Sailors were let hverboard and with knives they pre pared to cut away the knotted mass. They were surrounded by sharks in in instant and soon the water was I *ed with the blood of the fish, the nen defending themselves with the aatchets.

TINE STRANDS AND STORM FOILS LIFE SAVERS. ONE MAN LIFTS 4 INTO BOA But for the Heroism of the Two Sal ors Not Only the Vessel's Crew bu the Life Saving Force Would Hav Been Lost. Wood's Hole, Mass.—Of all the re» cues in these parts for years the great est was made the other night whei Capt. Sint Jackson and Frank Veedev brought IS men to Cutty hunk island in a dory and yawl after pounding seas bad put the life saving outfit out ol business. But for the heroism of these two men the entire force of the Cutty hunk station would have gone down together with the crew of the new barkentine Stephen G. Hart, bound from Gulfport. Miss., to Boston, with lumber and driven by storm and cross currents on a reef off the island. | The barkentine stranded in a fodj and was not spied by the station lookj. out until she had tossed on her jagged bed for several hours. Her signals told that she was fast filling and that help must come quickly to be of any use. Not knowing how many lives might depend on their getting to the wreck in a hurry, all the men at the station turned out and to make sure ot room fori everybody, they towed the surf boat behind the big power craft. Two of the island fishermen named Cornell volunteered for the trip with them. When they climbed on board the Hart part of her keel had settled on the reef with the receding tide, which steadied her a bit. but made haul ing her off out of the question. Captain and crew were willing enough to leave her to herself for the night, for the leakage had displaced her cargo and threatened to immerse her. and the wind shrieked warnings of a stormy night. The seas that broke over her parteo the line to the station power boat an. set her adrift. That left only the yaw' for the men who needed 10 gt r shore. Meanwhile Capt. Sam. with * Rescuing a Stranded Crew. power dory, and Veeder. with a small yawl and dory that he had in some way managed to pilot unaided through the heaving waters, reached the scene and stood by to lend a hand if wanted. Eighteen would have crowded the station surfboat in smooth weather The tempest then thundering set her crazy. Overboard went the dunnage of the ship's crew, but the boat be haved no better. She lurched and plunged and took flying leaps across the tops of the waves without making headway and then turned somersault, sprawling the 18 into the sea. Fourteen regained the surfboat and clung to its upturned keel. Capt. Sam made for them. The swift and violent sec-saw of the water hurled his dory on the turtle back to which the crew were clinging and shoved a streak of daylight through the dory’s hull. The 14 pulled themselves aboard, however, and she headed top speed for shore, the rescued crew stufling their cloth ing into the cracks in her bottom to ~ keep down the leak. Veeder jumped into his dory when the surfboat upset, and. letting his yawl take its chances adrift, went to the rescue of the four of the eighteen who had nothing to cling to except the boiling waves. They were so nearly gone when he reached them that they could give him no help in hauling them in. The dory kept its balance while he lifted them from the water by dead weight and dumped them one by one in safe places. By the time he rescued his drifting yawl the four were able to help him row her to the island. Many Illegally Wed. Albany, N. Y.—That there are up ward of 100 couples in the village of Port Chester and surrounding coun try holding marriage certificates to which they are not entitled is the declaration made by Senator Wain wright, of Westchester, In an efTort to have a bill nassed legalizing the unions.
