ing exemptions are unjust and detri
mental to the merchants interests and

Whereas We have heard continued re
ports of extortionate telephone charges

mittee to investigate such charges and

than C per cent intorest if authorized at
special or regular election With tho
emergency clause
OPPOSE COUNTY OFFICERS BILL
The bill Introduced In the senate at the
request of the County Officers associa
tion is hung up in the committee and
when it comes forth there will likely bo
absent from it that we recommend that
it be passed though the bill will be re
ported favorably It is not the fact that
the committee does not favor a four year
tenure of office for a majority of the
committee does But the committee does
no intend Jo recommend that a county
officer hold office for a time longer than
the time for which he was elected An
other objection is that the committee
does not favor having every county elec
tion held on presidential year or even
year as provided by the bill Said one
of tho committee
Wo are in favor of county officers
holding office for four years but I for
one do not want to tell a community
that the man it has chosen for two years
should serve three It is the right of the
people to do that and not the legislature
in my opinion And if we make county
elections come on even years or on presi
dential years it will not in my opinion
serve tho best interests of the people
In presidential years as a rule county
and local affairs are lost sight of almost
completely and persons who are entirely
unfitted for office could easily be run in
and elected
SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR
Governor Mickey signed house roll C7
the Gilbert or Howell bill on Monday
The Gilbert bill is identical in all Its pro
visions with the Howell bill It requires
the city of Omaha to acquire and operate
Kb own water plant and to this end pro
vides that within thirty days tho gov
ernor shall appoint a water board This
water board in a general way shall have
cbargo of the acquiring of the plant to
gether with the council and shall have
control of the plant after it becomes the
property of the city The water works
bill has tho emergency clause and it
therefore becomes a law as soon as the
governor gave his approval
STUDENTS OPPOSE THE BILL
Students of the medical colleges of the
state do not want the bill passed to com
pel them to appear before the State
Board of Health after graduating from
the college and stand an examination be
fore being allowed to practice medicine
A majority of the students entered school
believing that after securing a diploma
they would be allowed to practice with
out moro ado The bill however pro
vides thnt they shall tread the wine prrss
before tho State Board of Health il
that for the privilege they shall each pay
into the hands of the said board 25 Tho
students believe that 10 would do

A Cough Candy
An excellent cough candy is made
of slippery elm flaxseed and sugar
Soak a gill of whole flaxseed in a cup
of boiling water In another cup pit
broken bits of slippery elm bark until
it is full Cover this also with half a
pint of boiling water and let it stand
for two hours Strain the flaxseed
and slippery elm both through a thin
muslin cloth and save the liquor Add
a pound and a half of granulated sugar
to it Boil the syrup for ten minutes
Add the juice of two lemons and boil
it to a candy Test it from time to
time by dropping a little in cold water
The moment it is done pour it out on
papers spread in biscuit tins and let it
harden As soon as it begins to cool
before it hardens crease it with a
knife so that it may be easily broken
into lozenge shaped candies
Imitating Bret Harte
A Bret Harte story comes from Chi
cago and concerns Sam Davis a Ne
vada editor and ranchman He was
a contemporary of Bret Harte and
Mark Twain on the Pacific coast and
soon after Hartes success made the
remark at a dinner that any modern
author could be successfully imitated
Woodford Owens took him up and bet
an oyster and wine supper that Davia
could not imitate Bret Harte Inside
f a week Davis had written and pub
lished a poem called Binley and 4C
which was said to have been found in
an old trunk which Bret Harte had left
behind him on departing from San
Francisco The poem was copied all
over the country and its authenticity
was not questioned one New York pa
per going so far as to reproduce it with
illustrations When that happened
Owens paid his bet
