Legislature I
i I ft I Bi ft M fti i t
Pledges Arc Kept.
Save one. every pledge in the Re
publican state platform has been kept
* > y the Republican legislature. That
lone Is the pure food bill , which has
{ been recommended for passage in the
'bouse as amended by the committee
Of the whole , and it has already passed -
-ed the senate. It is likely a big fight
hwiH come when the bill gets back to
Tibo senate , for the senators are op-
tposed to the amendments tacked on
Iby the house. Unless the house recedes -
cedes the senate may kill the bill. The
; overnor got the primary election bill
Saturday evening. He had already
: telgned the anti-pass bill and the house
( has concurred In the senate amend-
fcnents to the anti-lobby bill. In face ,
JSaturday evening when the legislature
adjourned it had everything well in
jhand , and were It not for the appro
priation bills which the senate Is now
forking on there would be little to do j
{ of. state Interest , though measures of
socal importance to many communities
-fare still pending.

Intcrurban Bill Causes Debate.
The real flght Saturday in the house
eame over the bill by Thomas , S. F.
izs , providing tha street railway com
panies may own stock In interurban
fcompanies and that the latter may
jownthe stock of street railway com-
ipanies. While a majority of the Doug-
lias and Lancaster delegations were for
Athe bill , the members from out in the
< Btate were decidedly opposed to it be-
bause they argued it would give to the
jOmaha and Council Bluffs Street Rall-
Way company a monoply on the interurban -
urban business , and further , it did not
rcqulre physical connection between
competing lines which may want to
; get into the same town or city. As a
result no action was taken on the
' measure , ibut when it again comes up
an the committee of the whole , amend
ments covering these points and re-
fQuIrlng the company to get permission
'
! of the state railway commission to is-
teue bonds will be offered by Cone of
: ! saunders.

Anti-lJobby Bill Passes Senate.
The senate substitute for the Jeni-
-son 'anti-lobby bill was passed by the
-.senate after the emergency clause had
been stricken out. The bill requires
.all paid lobbyists to register with the
secretary of state and places rather
-stringent restrictions on the method
which they may work. The bill ,
R.18 , was recalled by the senate
t the request of Gov. Sheldon after it
3iad been indefinitely postponed , and
rwas amended by the judiciary commit
tee by the substitution of practically a
new bill. When the first vote was taken -
-en on the measure there was a marked
-absence of senators from their seats.
"They were brought in under a call of
-Ihe house , the senate waiting several
minutes for the sergeant at arms to
Jind Senator Thomas , who was the last
-one to show up.

Cutting Away Appropriations.
The 'senate committee on finance ,
rways and means in reports to the sen-
jale Saturday slashed house appropri
ations amounting to $120,000.

Veto for One Omaha Bill.
Gov. Sheldon vetoed H. R. 209 , by
Clarke of Douglas , because he be
lieves it will validate acts of the Oma-
Tia city council giving away parts of
-streets in Omaha to railroads. The
Tblll is ostensibly to permit the narrowIng -
. -Ing of streets and alleys , but it also
'validates actions of the city council
-taken heretofore without authority of
3aw , it is claimed , by which it vacated
ipublic highways. At present any per
son could have the illegal acts of the
-council set aside and the vacated
. treets converted again to public use.

Majors May Sue the State.
Redmond of Nemaha got through a
resolution Monday morning in the
liouse to clear the title to eight acres
of land belonging to T. J. Majors , by
Allowing the colonel to sue the state.
"When the state bought sixty acres of
Hand for the state normal schol at Peru -
ru it was in two tracts. By a mistake
the eight-acre tract was not proper
ly described and instead of getting
what the state bought the deed reads
eight acres belonging to Col. Majors.
However , the state has been using
what it bought for forty years and the
resolution is only for the purpose of
.allowing' Col. Majors to get his title
< cl ared up. .

Christian Science Bill Killed.
The senate "Wednesday afternoon
killed H. R. 288 , known as the Chris
tian Science bill and backed by the
I state board of health. The bill requir
ed all practitioners of Christian Sci
ence to report contagious diseases the
same as physicians , and attached the
same penalties to them as physicians if
they failed to report these diseases.
The majority in favor of Indefinitely
postponing the bill was large. Epper
son of Clay made the principal argu
ment against it on the grounds it
would give Christian Science practi
tioners legal stamling , which they do
not have now.
Many Bills Arc Slaughtered.
Behind locked doors the" senate l&ta
"Wednesday afternoon voted to indefi
nitely postpone all .bills not carrying
appropriations except those which
have already been advanced to third
reading. The action affects a number
of bills of more or less Imoprtance
and against which somepowerful lob
by work has been done during1 the laat
few days. At 5:30 o'clock the senate
went into executive session to consid
er the re-appointment of Warden
Beemer and after the appointment had
been confirmed and the executive ses
sion closed it took up the question of
the indefinite postponement of the
bills not yet acted upon.
* * *
By the action taken by the house
and senate in indefinitely postponing
all bills not on third reading , many
important bills were slaughtered ,
among them being the Harrison bill to
reduce Pullman rates 20 per cent ; the
Quackenbush reciprocal demurrage
bill ; the maximum freight rate bill on
oil ; the stockyards and the live stock
commission bills. Many members are
not satisfied and an effort will be made
In both house and senate to secure a
reconsideration of some of the impor
tant measures.

Significant Taljfrte Linen.
A woman who lias the reputation of
being a most successful hostess and
dinner giver makes a hobby of her
table linen. She has sets of linen with
flowers , designs and emblems to suit
the several holidays and seasons , and
even the flowers of several of the for
eign countries. There arc holly wreaths
for Christmas , bells and ribbon stream
ers for New Year's , lilies for Easter
and baskets o * flowers for May. Roses ,
sweetpeas and ferns are for summer
affairs , when the same blossoms are
used in decorations. Autumn leaves
and chrysanthemums are combined
with the real leaves and flowers. The
fluer de lis linen does honor to the
French guest , and for an Irish patriot
the shamrock pattern is brought forth ,
while the rose or thistle blooms for
the English or Scotch guest. These
little attentions are always pleasing ,
and when one is buying linen one might
as well pay attention to design as well
as to quality. Though not every one
can afford to have linen woven to or
der , as this woman did in several cases.
An Architectural Eruption.
A worthy but rather illiterate man
who had come suddenly into the pos
session of a large fortune was consult
ing with his architect relative to the
building of a costly mansion. The gen
eral plan had been decided upon , but
certain details had not been consid
ered.
"You will want a portico , of course , "
said the architect.
"Oh , yes. "
"Any particular design ? "
"Well , something Oriental. "
"That would be a good place for you
to have caryatids. "
"Why , " said the other , somewhat pus-
zled , "I er had that when I was a
boy. It broke out all over me , but I
got well of it. What has that got to do
with a portico ? "

GREAT EVENT IN CHRISTENDOM.
"World's Sunday School Convention
to Be Held in Rome.
Next month , in the "Eternal City" of
Rome , Italy , there will be held one of
the most Important and far-reaching
gatherings of the time the Fifth
World's Sunday school convention.
Previous conventions were held in Lon
don in 1889 and 1898 , in St. Louis in
1893 , and in Jerusalem in 1904 , but the
coming assemblage is expected to sur
pass them all In interest and results.
Extensive plans are already in opera
tion to make it a gathering unique in
the history of the Christian church.
The thousands of delegates and workers -
ers in attendance will represent 262,000
Sunday schools , with 26,000,000 mem
bers , from Iceland to Cape Colony , and
from Alaska to Tibet Men and women
speaking more different tongues and
representing more different sects and
creeds will meet in harmonious con
clave to promote God's kingdom than
probably ever before In history. While
the official language of the convention
will be English , sectional conferences
will be conducted in German , French
and Italian. The convention will last
four days , from May 20 to the 23d , and
will be held in a large hall in Rome.
But the most unique meeting of the
gathering -\viH be a vesper service ,
which it is planned to hold within the
ruins of the Coliseum. It will truly
be a memorable scene to witness men
and women of all languages and
tongues singing praises to God on the
spot where the blood of martyrs of our
faith was shed in the early centuries
*
of the Christian era.
The "call" for the fifth convention
has been issued by an International
committee of business men and minis
ters representing the Sunday school in
terests of the world. The body is com
posed of eleven men for the United
States , an equal number for Great
Britain and others for Germany , Swe
den , Italy , Switzerland , Mexico and
Canada.
Dr. Bailey , the head of the world
committee , is a business man of Phila
delphia , who is one of the foremost
Christian leaders of that city , and has
long been actively identified with the
Sunday school interests of America ,
having been for many years treasurer
of the International Sunday School As
sociation.
The American delegation will go to
Rome in a specially chartered steamer ,
the Romanic , just as the delegates in
1904 attended the Jerusalem convention
In a special ship. This cruise will con
stitute one of the most valuable fea
tures of the convention , for meetings
will be held on the steamer all the
way going over and returning , and as
stated by Dr. Bailey , several mission
ary conferences will be held. The Ro
manic Is expected to leave Boston April
27 and en route to Rome the delegates
will visit the quaint and beautiful isl
and of Madeira , as well as Gibraltar ,
Algiers , Naples , Pompeii , Genoa and
Pisa.
POSTOFFICE IS SWAMPED.
Rule Concerning1 Orders for
Supplies Causes Trouble.
One of the reforms inaugurated in the
division of supplies of the Postoffice De
partment by Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral De Graw is the requirement that
postmasters throughout the country shall
order supplies for their offices in sufficient
quantities to serve for one year.
Upward of 37,000 requisitions have
been received from postmasters. This
large influx of orders has caused the di
vision to fall considerably in arrears in
the matter of filing requisitions , 13,500
being unfilled now : The receipts of re
quisitions , however , which a week or so
ago ran up to more than 1,000 daily , are
now only between 500 and GOO a day and
the division is filling between 1,000 and
1,100 a day.
Arrangements are being made to in
crease the number filled each day , so that
within two weeks it is expected all requi
sitions on hand will be filled. After that
all orders will be filled promptly , as un
der the new arrangement the number of
requisitions received will continue to de
crease.
The department still has considerable
difficulty in securing sufficient twine ,
which is needed in large quantities by
postoffices and the railway mail service ,
but the twine contractors report that they
are making every effort to forward ade *
quate shipments during the coming week ,
No doubt Mr. Rockefeller needs the
money.
Still , we don't hear anybody making a
noise like digging a canal.
Those British women suffragists are
not only strong-minded but strong-fisted.
President Baer of the Reading Rail
road Company acts like his name sounds.
The Rockefeller college is becoming al
most as frequent as the Carnegie library.
The Russian generals can fight each
other much fiercer than they fought the
Japanese.
Ministers are divided as to whether
Mr. Rockefeller's great gift should be
called philanthropy or restitution.
Marie Corelli says she cannot resist the
impulse to wrtie. It must be terrible
to have a Corelli novel in your system.
With some of the statesmen it is not
so much what are we going to do about
Cuba as how are we going to do Cuba.
The effort to raise the pay of govern
ment clerks is being heartily seconded by
the Washington boarding house keeper.
To restore public confidence the rail
roads might print testimonials from pas
sengers who have ridden on their trains a
number of tunes and never have been
killed.
BU88E WINS IN CHICAGO.
Republican Candidate Chosen Mayor
of "Western Metropolis.
Fred A. Busse , Republican , was
Tuesday elected Mayor of Chicago , for
four years by a plurality of 13,121. He
overcame a plurality of 24,518 by which
Edward F. Dunne defeated John M.
Harlan two years ago , making a total
change ia the figures between then and
now of 37,639 votes.
The total vote on Mayor , according
to the police returns , was 335,901 , out
of a registration of 391,588. The total
for Busse was 164,839 and for Dunne
151,718. George Keep , the Socialist ,
candidate , polled 13,469 and W. A.
Brubaker , on the Prohibition ticket ,
received 5,875. The Socialists stood a
net loss of nearly 7,000 from the figures
. of two years ago , while the Prohibi
tionists almost doubled the vote for
Oliver W. Stewart in 1905.
John E. Traeger was the one Demo
crat to be elected. He was chosen city
treasurer by a plurality of 7,983 over
Gen. Edw. C. Young.'John R. McCabe ,
Republican , was elected city clerk.
Thomas F. Little , the Democratic nom
inee , running a shade behind Mayor
Dunne and losing to Mr. McCabe by
15,414.
The battle was waged and won with
the entire country and no small part
of the world at large looking on with
Intense interest and waiting the result
In suspense. The traction ordinances
carried in the election by nearly 40,000.
A new charter for the city of Chicago
is assured.
Frederick A. Busse is the first execu
tive of Chicago to be chosen for a term
of four years and likewise the first to
have the very profitable privilege of col
lecting $18,000 every twelve months for
his services. The issues between the Re
publicans and the Democrats were as dis
tinctly drawn .as widely differing plat
form declarations could make them. Chief-
est of the 'contentions was traction. The
Republicans declared for the adoption of
the ordinances as passed by the City
Council over the veto of Mayor Dunne ,
while the Democrats urged their defeat.
In 1902 Mr. Busse was elected Treas
urer of Illinois and in December , 1905 ,
was commissioned as postmaster of Chicago
cage by President Roosevelt. It is a
rather remarkable thing in the history of
mayoral campaigns in Chicago that the
Republican candidate made no speech of
acceptance to the convention which nomi
nated him , nor uttered a spoken word to
the electorate during the campaign. Bat
tered up in a wreck on the Pennsylvania
limited , which claimed the lives of a num
ber of his fellow passengers , Candidate
Busse was lying in bed severely injured
when named as the standard bearer of his
party.
Spirit Voice of Death.
The alleged spirit messages" from the
late Dr. Richard Hodgson to his living
friend and former co-worker , Prof. Hys-
lopj through the mediumship of Mrs.
Piper of Boston , are described by Dr.
Isaac Funk , the New York publisher , in
his book , "The Psychic Riddle. " Dr.
Funk says the subject is one that should
not be scoffed at. The spirit of Hodgson
Is believed to have talked to Mrs. Piper
while she was in the trance state and
wrote what was said on sheets of paper
in Hyslop's presence. One message says
"it is delightful to go through the cool
ethereal atmosphere and shake off the
mortal body. " The spirit said further
that during his effort to communicate
to the living he felt as if in a stuffy at
mosphere or as if going into a place of
foul smells. Dr. Funk believes that we
are in the presence of "a scientific dem
onstration of a future life , " if Hyslop is
right about these messages being received.
He , Funk , has no doubt now that "in
telligences foreign to our five senses can
and do communicate with some of those
who are living in the flesh. " But he is
not certain that "they can and do identi
fy themselves as those who once lived in
the flesh. "

ROADS WOULD COST BILLIONS.
Government Conlcl AwNume Control ,
but at Great Price.
The growing interest in government
control and ownership of railroads has
led officials in Washington to make some
estimates as to the cost and methods by
which such ends might be reached. Here
are some conclusions :
It will cost the government in the neigh
borhood of $16,244,000,000 to buy the
railroads. That is , this is the commer
cial value of the whole railway plant , in
cluding terminals , depots and all appurte
nances , as estimated by the United States
census.
The government has the constitutional
power now to assume control and owner
ship of the roads. This was demonstrat
ed in the case of the Panama road , where
the government condemned the stock and
paid a fair market value for it.
In prder to buy the railway system of
this country it is only necessary for the
government to appraise the property and
then to issue government securities in
exchange for the private securities now
standing against these properties.
There would be no real drain on the
United States treasury. The government
would simply start its printing presses
and print the necessary $16,244,000,000
worth of bonds ; then these would be is
sued in exchange for the private securi
ties , which would be destroyed. Any dis
pute as to valuation would be settled by
condemnation proceedings.
Then Congress would probably have to
create another cabinet officer , a Secretary
of Railways. He would run the railroads
of the country just as the Postmaster
General runs the Postoffice Department.
When Switzerland decided to take over
its railroads a few years ago , the govern
ment concluded to pay for them on the
basis of twenty-five times the average net
earnings for a period of twenty years.
This was easily determined in that coun
try , owing to the fact that the accounts
of the railways had been under strict gov
ernmental supervision for that period.

What was said to be one of the greatest
ratepayers' demonstrations seen in Lon
don in many years occurred recently when
several thousands marched through the
streets to Trafalgar square , whei a mass
meeting was held to protest against fur
ther municipal ownership experiments on
the part of the London county council.
The procession , which was more than a
mile in length , included many unique fea
tures intended to cast discredit upon the
municipal industries , among these being
fifty large gramophones which emitted
bitter comments upon "wastrels. " The
meeting adopted a resolution stating that
"This mass meeting of London ratepayers
indignantly protests against the increas
ing burden of rates , caused by the pro
gressive socialist party , and pledges itself
to exert every effort to turn the wastrels
out on March 2 , and place in power the
party of municipal reform. " /
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell-
Bannerman contributes to the Nation ,
the liberal weekly , an article on The
Hague conference , in which he refutes
the objections to raising the question of
limitation of armaments , contending that
nothing has occurred since 1898 to render
inopportune or mischievous the reduction
of armaments which was then recognized
as desirable. On the contrary , he says ,
the passage of years has only served to
strengthen the impression of 1S9S that
the endless multiplication of engines of
war is futile and self-defeating , and that
what was then a suspicion , that no limit
could be set to the struggle for sea pow
er save by the process of economic ex
haustion , has now become something like
a certainty. He asserts that Great Brit
ain has already given an earnest of her
sincerity by reducing her naval and mili
tary expenditures , and by undertaking to
go further if a similar disposition is
shown elsewhere.
