of the deceased.

SENATE. In the senate on the 17th

tion was made that this bill be so
referred. The report was placed on

mal butchered. The petition was read
and placed on file without reference.

SENATE. The session of the sen
ate on the 14th was an active one , and
a large amount of business was trans
acted. There were only a few bills
introduced , but the greater part oi
them are quite interesting measures.
Senator Meredeth introduced a meas
ure which is intende dto do away with
the sale or handling in any manner of
cigarettes in the state , making the
penalties so heavy as to be prohibitive.
One of the most interesting bills yet
introduced was that relating to the
protection of fish and game and song
birds , offered by Van Boskirk of Box
Butte. The bill was prepared by ex
perts and is pronounced one of the
best measures of the kind ever drawn
up. Miller of Buffalo introduced two
bills. One provides for the repeal of
the law creating the position of oil
inspector , without providing a sub
stitute , and the other relates to the
salary and duties of county commis
sioners , its intent being to cut out
much of the pay these officials have
been in the habit of receiving. The
gentleman from Buffalo thinks the
commissioners should be allowed a
mileage c 5 cents per mile and $3
a day for actual time put in , and pro
vides a running scale of the maximum
amount to be paid by counties , the
amount being regulated by the coun
ty's population , and ranging in amount
from $50 to $1,200 a year. The latter
amount , according to the bill , could
only be drawn in counties having a
population of over 70,000 inhabitants.
A number of bills were read for the
second time , ordered printed and re
ferred to their respective committees.
Harlan of York then made a motion
that the senate vote for United States
senators at 11 a. m. tomorrow , and
providing how the voting should be
done , the motion being adopted. Fol
lowing is Senator Harlan's motion :
That the first vote for United States
senators shall be taken at 11 o'clock
on the 15th day of January , and in the
following manner , that is to say : The
roll of the senate shall be called and
each member shall as his name is
called by a viva-voce vote name one
person for senator in congress from
Nebraska , to fill the existing vacancy ,
being the term expiring on the 3d day
of March , 1905 , and one person for
senator in congress from Nebraska for
the full term of six years , from and
after the 4th day of March. 1901. "

The first vote for senator in both
the houses was. largely of a compli
mentary character.
Talleyrand's Home.
The historic home of the Marquis
le Talleyrand is now an unsentimental
'ailroad yard in Jacksonville , Fla. ,
writes Victor Smith from there. He
ived here during his voluntary exile
: rom 1784 to 1796. At a relent exhi
bition of some relics some of the old
'urniture which belonged to him was
shown to the public. Over the front
jate of his place , when his successor
md heir was a resident of Jackson
ville , was a board bearing this legend :
'The Public Generally Welcome , ex-
: ept , " mentioning the name
) f a man he hated. Not long ago the
property was sold to the Baxter Lum-
3er company , and the beautifully
idorned back yard is now all railroad
; racks and naval stores.
The Bay State Has Plenty cf IJooUs.
Massachusetts has now only four
: owns in which there is no public li-
jrary and they are very small ones ,
jeing Marlborough , Gay Head , Lake-
rille and Norwell. It is doubtful if
my other community of 2,800,000 in-
labitants can equal that.

ago.
"Life is a drag to me , and I sometimes feel like giving up ever

everything. I am in bed now. I have had several doctors , but they
did me but little good.
"Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound has been recommended

two years , and I know it is all due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
" I recommend your advice and medicine to all women who suffer. "

advise sick women than any other person. Write her. It costs you
nothing.

Among the good stories in circula
tion about the late Joseph Harris , the
well known master cf the city of Lon
don school , is one in connection with
Lord Mayor Owden. That worthy
gentleman was not a Greek scholar ,
and the Greek oration or speech one
day in Christ's hospital , to which on
a memorable occasion , he listened ,
was not intelligible to him , save one
word. That was "Owden" so pro
nounced and Mr. Harris used to tell
his friends privately how , each time it
occurred in the Greek oration , Sir
Thomas , fondly supposing that compli
ment was being paid to himself , rose
and solemnly bov.'ed.
