Two Year IN THE
Crops per Texas Gulf
Corn Osiit Feet Tall Coast Country
Two corn crops are raised each year in this wonderful land
and the richest , biggest , finest ears of corn you ever saw. The
farmers of that section market from 40 to 70 bushels per acre with
very little irrigation.
Why not take a trip down there and see this land which
you can buy now for $25 an acre ?
Talk to owners who clear from $300 to SSOO per acre per year in
vegetables who net $90 per acre in alfalfa who raise
24,000 pounds of Onions from one acre
and sell at 24 cents per pound.
That is what is actually being done to-day , now , in this "Winter

Legislature |
Only Seven Bills Passed.
The house has been in session thir
ty-seven days and the senate thirty-six
days , and during this time seven meas
ures only have passed both houses and
gone to the governor. Of these three
are appropriation bills and the other
four are unimportant. At this time
there are over 100 bills on the general
fiile In the house and almost that num
ber in the senate , , including most of
the party platform pledges and many
very Important bills , while not a sin
gle party platform pledge except the
election of Norris Brown to the senate
has gone through either houses. The
railroad commission bill has been
made a special order for Wednesday
morning and it is expected a lively
discussion will result over this meas
ure , as several amendments will be
offered to it with the view if simplify
ing its terms. It Is asserted the mode
of procedure ( is not exactly clear , and
some of the members of the house , as
well as members of the senate , are
anxious to change these sections so
there cannot be the least doubt of the
authority of the commission or of th&
manner of its procedure in inaking
rates. * * *
Objections to University Bill.
The objections to the bill introduced
in the house by McMuIlen of Gage ,
and in the senate by King of Polk ,
making the state treasurer the ex-ofli-
cio treasurer of the state university ,
raised by Hon. Peter Mortensen , for
mer state treasurer , has caused sev
eral members to sit up and take notice
and it is evident the bills will be care
fully ; considered before this scheme of
the regents is carried out. Senator
King remarked Saturday morning that
he had figured out the treasurer would
be compelled to give a bond not only
as state treasurer as he does now , but
should * the bill be passed , he would
have to give a separate bond as treas
urer of the state university. He fails
to see any good reason for the treas
urer being bonded twice , and because
of this and his talks with Mr. Morten-
sen , he is seriously considering with
drawing his support from the ' bill ,
which he introduced at the request of
the regents. Should the bill become a
law It would permit the board of re-
gentn to use the cash fund of the uni
versity , all the government funds and
all other funds except the money rais
ed by levy , without an appropriation
by the state legislature and also evade
the constitution , which provides the
auditor shall investigate all claims
against the state. Inasmuch as the
money used by the regents has reach
ed such enormous proportions , and as
the regents are not under bond , the
members of the legislature are becom
ing more unanimous for a check on
them , as there is on all other state
officers and state institutions. Bui : the
university lobby is here in force and
is working night and day to prevent
any interference with the present
methods of spending the people's
money. *
* * *
Fratcrnals May Be Taxed.
By the introduction of a bill to ex
empt from taxation all the property of
fraternal insurance companies , Sena
tor Randall , of Madison , probably has
stirred up something which may result
In the revenue law being changed so
that the reserve funds of the various
fraternal companies will not in the
future escape taxation. The supreme
court recently decided in the case
against the Highlanders from Hamil
ton county that the reserve fund could
be offset by the outstanding policies ,
which virtually exempted this money
from taxation. The decision , however ,
was based on the provision of the rev
enue law relating to the taxation ot
net credits and not upon the idea that
a fraternal insurance company is a
charitable institution. By enacting a
law defining specifically what net
credits shall be , the legislature might
make it possible for assessors to as
sess this class of property and a half
3ozen senators are discussing such a
iieasure.
* > *
Would End Quail Shooting.
After pushing the house 2-cent rate
bill to a third reading the Nebraska
legislature Tuesday indulged in a
deadlock over the open season on
quail. The house voted for no open
season. The senate insists on fifteen
days from Nov. 1. The senate wishes
to wipe out all spring shooting , mak
ing the closed season on all game birds
from April 10 to Sept. 1. The house.
It is predicted , will not consent to any
open season for quail.
* * *
Two-Cent Fare Bill.
The 2-cent fare bill probably will
reach Gov. Sheldon Thursday. He will
sign the measure , which carries the
emergency clause. It is expected that
rate experts will have a lively scram
ble to revise the tariffs when the bill
Is enacted. The railroads are expected
to take the bill into the federal courts.
"Then , " said Senator Wiltse. Tuesday ,
"we will get busy and do some other
things to them. "
* * *
Doesn't Go Far Enough.
The house Tuesday passed a bill for-
bidding boys under IS smoking cigar
ettes in public places.
Tickets Good Any Time.
Another railroad bill recommended
/or passage in the senate Tuesday
makes railroad tickets good at any
time and in the hands of any person. .
It was amended so as to provide that
excursion tickets sold at specially re
duced rates might be limited as to ten
ure.
Bulk Sales Bill Passed.
t
The house Tuesday afternoon passed
the senate bulk sales bill. It is in
tended to protect wholesale and job
bers from Impositions by del/tors.
* * *
Petition In Petticoats.
South Omaha for the second time
swooped down upon the legislature j
Wednesday to protest against being *
annexted to Omaha , but this time in
stead of it being a "petition in boots"
the Magic City's delegation was more
aptly referred to as a petition in "pet
ticoats. " There were enough school
teachers and school children in the
crowd of 1,000 to give the delegation
the appearance of a fresh air pic
nic. Acting as escorts for the 144
school teachers and their pupils who
were given a holiday by the powers
tiiat be , In order to get them to swell
the crowd , were Democratic officehold
ers and friends of the administratlorii
The delegation was bedecked with ribbons
bens of red bearing the inscription
"South Omaha protests against forci
ble annexation , " while numerous ban
ners were flung aloft bearing1 various
Inscruptions , "For the square deal , "
and such like , and It was headed by a
brass band and the "big stick , " which
Incidentally was stolen by some one
and will never again get back to dear
old South Omaha.
* *
Picas for Passes.
Railroad pass holders from tin
western part of the state are pouring
In letters upon their senators pleading
with them not to pass too drastic an
anti-pass law. One senator has sev
eral of the letters , all from men who
are known to be pass holders and most
of whom were repudiated by the par
ty at the last election. Almost uni
formly the letters recommend the
"Wisconsin law as a model. This law
prohibits the use of passes by publit
officials , but does not prevent private
persons from carrying all the annuals
he can get his hands on.
* * *
*
Claims Bill Completed.
The claims committee of the nous * ,
has completed its work. All of the
claims filed by newspapers for publish
ing the notice of the proposed railroad
commission constitutional amendment
were allowed , though those papers
charging daily rates were cut down to
the weekly rate.
Mrs. Hoxie , who struggled so earn
estly , as did her brother , Ed Sizer , for
$2,300 which they alleged was due her
for services rendered while claiming
to be matron of the Kearney indus
trial school , was allowed $1,500 ,
though the committee decided several
days ago to allow her only $25 a
month for the time she was in the
school.
GD. . Follmer was allowed $1,500 to
pay to Captain Murfin for attorneys'
fees for looking after the Boj/d county
land cases , though the court threw
him out of the cases.
The claim of the State Journal for
$6,000 was cut down $200. This claim
was for printing unofficial supreme
court reports. The small amount was
deducted as penalty becauses the
books were not delivered according 10
contract.
The $6,000 claim of T.ee Herdman ,
based on what Herdman claims to
have paid for help in his office out of
his own pocket , was turned down , as
were several claims filed by counties
for money said to be due for keeping
insane patients and for other rea
sons.
* * *
Shuldon to Hear Railways.
Gov. Geo. L < . Sheldon will give the
railroads of Nebraska a hearing on
the 2-cent rate proposition. The 2-
cent fare bill , with the emergency
clause attached , reached the executive
Thursday afternoon. Action may not
be taken for several days.
* * *
Another Aiiti-Tipplng Bill.
The bill forbidding tips has reached
the general file of the house. This
measure was outlined by the senate
judiciary committee and forbids tip
ping in all its phases. A bill which has
been signed by the governor has been
confused with the anti-tipping meas
ure. The latter was introduced by
Senator Saunders and forbids grafting
on contracts or rakeoffs by agents or
employes.
* * *
Many Anti-Corporation Bills.
Thursday was the last call for the
introduction of bills in the house. Five
,
hundred and sixty have been introduc
ed during the session. In the senate
,
there , was another day and Friday the
total number reached nearly 475.
One-third of the bills are directed
against corporations.
The Sultan's Rcbnlce.
An ambassador of a well known Eu
ropean monarch was riding in the
streets of Constantinople when one of
the sultan's carriages rolled by. See
ing it was guarded , his curosity got
the hotter of him , and when the car
riage reached him he was daring
enough to peep in at the passenger.
He was surprised and pained to re
ceive a blow in the face from an at
tendant in charge. Mad with rage , lie
demanded audience of the sultan. Tha
sultan listened attentively and for a
moment appeared lost in thought. At
last he spoke : "My dear . I have
gone carefully into the case and sea
exactly how it stands. You are , of ,
course , a gentleman. Therefore yoi
would never have committed such a
breach 1 of good manners as you allege
.
to have taken place. Therefore no at
tendant could possibly have struck you.
The whole affair seems to be a product
of your fancy. Let us dismiss it. "
The Origin of Salmon.
The name salmon is given In
land J and all western states to a larg <
trout-like 1 fish which lives in the sea ,
chiefly about the mouths of rivers , ana
which enters the streams to spawn ,
running for a considerable distance U |
the stream and returning to the sea
after the act of spawning is accom
plished , says a writer in the Pacific
Monthly. The old males become some
what distorted , especially through tha
lengthening of the jaws , but thfl
changes with age and season are no !
much greater than in any large trout
The true salmoii , like the true trout ,
is black spotted. It is called in seienca
Salmo salar , and along with the trua
trout it belongs to the genus Salmo.
There is only one species of Atlantic
salmon ; it is found on both sides oj
the ocean , and on both sides it be
comes sometimes land-locked and
dwarfish when it is .shut up in a lake
and when it cannot or does not go
to the sea.
