Newspaper work" particularly v editorial work , would be incomparably - ; parably more pleasant : if there : . were only those things in the ac tivities" people and , in the do- mgsu.of the _ day , and only such cinditions in the social , commer cial , etc. , life as could be com manded. How much more agree- ablea" ask it were , if never a line htd to be penned that would be offensive to anyone Weeks would be holidays for the newspaper man * if it were his lot only to speak good of people and ot things , and only to approve , and endorse , and "to' distribute penned bouquets ! - Everybody would be good , and commendable , and wise , and just , . - and pariseworthy ; there would be Ono ill , nothing and no one to con demn or to criticise ; there would be no mistaken judgment from which to differ , no graft to be dis turbed by newspaper disturbers , ; , . jCtc.ect. .

Chapman-the drug mi n Lively Figiii in Upper House Over Ollis Measure , INITIATIVE Ada REFERENDUM , Lincoln , 'Feb. r27 ' The prettiest ( fight over .legislation ever.seen in-the i legislature is now on over the passage of S. P. 115 , by Ollis of Valley , a bill to regulate stock yards. While there is no complaint in.-Tegard to charges at , the South Ornaha stock yards , there is a desire on thje/part of many to place tlie company1 under regulatory measures. % The prices of feed , and thej time' ' "limit ' : o'f delivery "of live .stock * are now regulated by law in a man ner , . -but the friends of'the bill allege" that further regulation is necessary and the Ollis hill declares stock yards" to be common carriers and places them under control of t-Ke slate ra'il- v/ay commissionand , proyides forvthe physical valuationfof stock ! yards prop- "erty. The bill also"makes'a : new time limit for the ya'rding of- live stock * . i fc * * * * s * > " . # P. OTTO KOTOUC. i after it is delivered by railroad ic panies to the stock yards .and' requires , that stock be placed in commission : company's , yards before - -shaira"be deemed to have been cared for by | the stock yards. The prese" " law stops\ when the stock is ? placedgat the unloading chutes in thet " ? $ ] ? . I or not thercT.is a. demand i for further regulation ' .pf the , * , stock j ; .companies of thestate ; is-a-ques ' tion disputed , but many allegfL. that if the companies are placed' imder control of the railway commission it will make it unnecessary pr the1-com panies to lobby ye'ar after VeaiSan. the legislature to protect itself and that they will go out of politicsand.cease trying to organize 'the legislature for the purpose of self protection. ° Some Kind of Bill Likely to Pass. Some kind of a bill is likely to pass , hut whether or not it will be stringent or mild remains to be seenv , The stock yards companies . - ' ob ject strenuously to 'being placed un der control of the railway commission , .as" they ; .would then know where and how to Defend themselves from at- 'tacks , but'if they are given over to the commission it is likely that the commission , would make a physical valuation of all stock yards property , including that which is not used for railrparl.Or transportation purposes rind might compel the South Omaha company lo account for receipts : and disbursements of all departments. . The [ supreme- court has already declared the transportation department of : the South Om alia company to be ja com , mon carrier. The Ollis bill declares the entire company to be a common carrier and imposes penalties for delay in hand ling tock from the time , , it is deliv ered by a railroad company on the I transfer switch fill the stock is driy- } en into commission men's pens. One hour and one-half is the time limit allowed by the bill for this work. The present law is one hour - andonehalf j to take stock to the chutes. Physical Valuation Opposed. The physical valuation of stock yards Is opposed by those who be friend the company. Ollis has consented - " sented to strike out that portion , of the bill. Albert of Platte ' -has .an amendment before the senate to strike out all of the bill except that part j placing yards under control of the rail way commission for the regulation of j service and rates. Improved service , rather than lower rates , is all that ; friends of tlie bill demand in the way of a change. That this can be had J by physical valuation is denied by j opponents. ' c * ! That the company is giving good service is alleged by officers of the company. The service is said to be better than the service at other west ern stock yards. Yet many witnesses claim they have beeii damagetl by de lays at the yards and that the com pany is slow to pay claims , usually layIng - < Ing the blame for delay upon the con necting railroads. : The .Ollis bill pro vides for the keening of a record of shipments at the yar'ds so that the : Mame for delay can be located. ' ; The Union Stock Yards company at.J . J South Omaha has .a capital stock of i $7,500,000. The market is growing ; and even friends of 'the bill predict tfcat it niay yfef etiijf& the , market , which is the largest in the world. * Test of Strength. The only..test vote taken in the sen ate during the past week was on the adoption of the Albert amendment to strike out all of the stock yards bill with The exception of that portion placing yards under control of the railway commission as to service and rates. The Albert amendment was adopted. by a vcte of 16 to 14. Reynolds of Bawes , one of the three absentees , op poses the Albert amendment because j he believes it has a"joker in it in that it. ' nowhere declares stock yards as a common carrier , and therefore the ' 'railway commission cannot enforce f&e penalties upplyihg tq common car riers. Jansen of Gage and Placek of 1 Saunders were out of town when the vote was taken and a deadlock result ed-a call of the house being ordered to.-.bring in the absentees. A truce was declared , the Albert amendment was stricken out and the bill was re , ferred back to the committee of the ' whole , where -ttie fight will start over , again where it left off. , .v > . , StaJtSsa&id f ° r Bridges. The counties that have rivers and streams traversing their territories are much interested in Ileprcseu t Crc-n.n's bill to provide state aid tor the building of bridges. The bill was ordered by the house to a third read ing , after -a lively debate. The bill provides that the * state shall levy a , tax of one-fifth bf a mill on all property - ! erty in the state to be used as aid in the construction of bridges over " .streams , in Nebraska which are more "than 175 feet wide. This bill would appropriate about $80,000 a year to be used as state aid .on. these large bridges. The bill provides that the state shall pay half the cost and thu counties between or through which the stream runs shall pay half. The state is not required to pay out more than is collected in on the levy. Initiative and Referendum. The house , not caring to wait for the initiative and referendum bill in troduced by Skiles of Butler in. the senate , and which passed the senate , began ? wprk on , a similar bill intro duced -by Halfield of Lancaster. The house amended the Hatfield bill and , ss' th&.two houses differ on-the sub ject , a conference committ&2 may be nece'ssary" b el"ore ' both agree. The Hatfield bill is ready for passage in bouse. The two particulars in which the Skiles bill and the Hatfield bill , differ are : . The Skiles bill provides that any -LIU .must have a 35 per cent of the to- Ital yo'W cast at. the election , in affirmation - firmation of the bill or it cannot be declared passed. The Hatfiold bill provides that this35 ! per cent shall ap ply only to constitutional amendments. The Skiles hill provides for a 10 per cent initiation of all measures , wheth er plain measures or constitutional amendments. The Hatfield bill pro vides , as amended : that to initiate constitutional amendments the pe tition''shallbe 15 per cent of the voting ing strength of the state. Rural Life .Commission. "If"farmers soon find spins me.n snooping , around their houses and barn yards care should be. taken.not to shoot till questions and explanations are asked. Governor Aldrich has , In accordance with a joint resolution of the legislature , appointed the follow- ! hg commission to investigate' condi tions surrounding rural life and to re port to him their findings : State Su perintendent J. W. Crabtree , Cr. -Charles E. Eossoy of the state - university sity , . Dr. George E. Condra of Lincoln , W. S.'Delano of Lincoln , J. S. Canaday of Minden , J. D. Ream of Broken Bow , L. C. Lawson , president of the. Nebras ka Farmers' congress , of darks ; .Rob ert McGinnis of Fremont , general agent of the Northwestern railroad at Lincoln ; State Senator Oilis of Ord. Frank G.Ode'll of .Lincoln , promi nent in farmers' institute work" , has been elected secretary of the commis.- . sion. Public Utilities. It -considered almost impossible for Albert's bill , S. F. 128 , to get through the senate , though its intro ducer from Platte county believes ; it ought to become a law. The bill iilaces ai ! public service corporations , nicluding gas , ligrt , heat , power , and sewer companies under control cf the railway commission. Reagan of Douglas proposed to amend so as not to apply to cities of over 25,000 inhabi tants , this excluding Lincoln , South Omaha and Omaha. His motion was defeated and the bill was then laid aside. No action was taken on ac count of the. unusual opposition , the bill encountered. Tibbets , Skiles and Ittorehead' spoke against the bill. Cordeal opposed the Reagan amend ment on the ground that the smaller cities , were .more able to care for their public utilities than are the larger . cities. Reagan asked for horns rule. H. R. J45 , by Kotouc of Richardson , appropriating the usual 1-mill levy of the University of Nebraska , was dec- nmmended for passage. Banking Law. S. F. 213 , by McGrew of Franklin , is now en , the general file in the senate. The bill amends the guaranty of de posit law. The committees of both bouses - considered the bill prior to placing it on the general file and wrangled over the maximum interest to be paid on deposits. The present * law limits the rate "of interest that j can be paid by banks on time deposits to 4 per cent. Minor desired to make It S. per cent President George N. Seymour of Elgin asked that it be made 4 per cent. The committee , by a vote of 7 to 6. decided on 4 per cent. -The committee-tsruck out all that part 1 of the bill permitting the payment of a higher rate-ot-interest by agreement with the depositor that the deposit 1 etinYiin nnf "he tm&er the Guaranty iiw ; 1 Hi B VHMI M HHHBBBBBaBm MBMi MVH BWB We Have Finished Invoicing U' and find we are overstocked on lines of * i Farm Implements 1 which we will close out at lowest prices. | We believe that there will be an advance | in the price of Lumber and advise our ciisJ tomers to build while it is cheap.

The following clipping ( we sup pose from a Chesaning , Mich , paper - per ) was sent to us by John Sed- lacek , an old resident of Cherry county , living southwest of town : Edward , the 18 year old son of John Sedlacek , living three and one- half miles east of Chesaning , went to the woods Saturday with his -32- calibre rifle , and jcetoirned iiome about 8 o'clock , with gun in hand , -and his face covered with blood. f He had shot himself In the forehead either by accident or otherwise and the bullet was lodged in his skull , < One rumor is that the Boy explained - I plained to his mother that the rifle * failed to go off wh-m .he attempted to shoot it about sundown and that in trying to learn the cause , he looked into the muzzle. Then the cartridge exploded. For two hours he did not know what happened. Than he recovered his senses and walked home. Another rumor ia that he was de spondent , and homesick for old friends and home in the west.where the family formerly resided , and not being able to get the funds to go with , forged his father's name to a note. This was discovered , and the . , boy feeling the enormity of the crime became more despondent and tl resolved to end itall. w We print the best sale bills at \ the [ Democrat Office. * v * ?
