for additional testimony regarding the

Nebraska Pension Bills.
WASHINGTON-Every member of
the Nebraska delegation has Intro'
duced many pension hills during the
coagt'ea ! which will close March 4
with satisfactory results. The few
bills which have passed this month
were game oC the holdovers Introduced
last winter. II Is safe to predict that
none of the pension bills Introduced
this month will pass , botlv houses
this session , and In that case every
bill Introduced this session must be
reintroduced next winter. Possibly a
very meritorious bill may succeed.
