Governor Aldrich has signed H. R.
.107 , the anti-trading stamps and anti-
Jree gift enterprise bill which was
gassed by both houses of the legisla
ture. The bill has no emergency
clause and will become effective three
nnonths after the legislature adjourns.
The governor is said to doubt the
legality of the bill , but he believes it

than to continually maintain a lobby

to combat the bill and to question its
con sti tutional ity.
Eager Wins Charter Fight.
The troubles of the Lancaster county -
ty delegation were aired at length be-
iore the house in discussion over the
Xaucoln charter bill , introduced by
Eager. It was a case of Eager against
"the rest of the delegation and he won
out The chief bone of contention was
over a-proposed change in the date of
the spring election. Eager's bill pro
vides for setting this date ahead to
permit the men in the Russian colony
to vote before they leave for their
.summer's work in the beet fields. This
lias hack of it the old "wet" and 'dry"
-fight in Lincoln , the Russians being
supposed to favor the "wet' policy for
the city.
Had Up-HUI Work.
Numerous efforts were made to get
Ubills advanced in the house without
the Intervention of the sifting commit-
-tee. ? .Iost of them were uniformly
unsuccessful. Representative Quack-
enbush made a hard fight to have
"brought out the bill providing for a
levy of a quarter of a mill for support
of the state normal schools. He even
liad a special meeting of the sifting
committee called , but could not get
: the bill through this. An effort was
made to bring put the McKelvie bill
appropriating $25,000 for a state pub-
aicity bureau , but this failed.
To Adjourn April 4.
Members of the legislature awoke
to the fact that they must do a prodi
gious amount of work in a short time
-or remain In session for a consider
ably longer period than is agreeable
uo most of them. This realization
came with the report of the joint com-
anittee on adjournment.
The committee agreed to an ad
journment April 4 , which will give
two more weeks of work. This would
3 > robably mean actual adjournment
: about April 7 or 8.
The house again defeated an at
tempt to kill the university medicaj
school bill. Nearly an hour was spent
-in controversy over parliamentary pro
cedure. The dispute revolved about
the question of the right of the house
tto correct the Journal of yesterday to
33iake it include the -belated Ellis mo
tion , seeking to reconsider the medical
school bill.
* Responding to the senate's invita
tion to take up the subject of adjourn
ment , Speaker Kuhl has appointed
"Leidlgh , Fuller and Neir as members
' f the joint committee to fix the time
- tfor adjournment.
Another Hotel BWI by Sink.
Representative Sink , author of the
mine-foot bed sheet bill , has come for
ward in behalf of the traveling men
of the state. The hotel commission
3)ill , sought by the traveling men's
associations was brought out by the
sifting committee as a result of a lit-
.tle perspiration expended in its behalf
.by the Grand Island statesman. The
bill Tvas introduced by Bulla. It pro
vides for a state commission to have
FIT .general supervision over the sanitary
crran ementa of ho * el * .
Judicial Bills Recommended.
Bojth pending judicial bills were
recommended to pass by the house
committee of the whole. These are
the Lee non-partisan , judiciary bill and
the Quackenbush bill providing for
election of supreme court judges by
districts and for an Intermediary court
of appeals.
The vote on both bills was almost a
straight party line up. Onthe Lee
non-partisan judiciary bill the vote
stood 50 to 42 with eight absent.
Hardin was the only republican voting
for the bill , while Busee , Fries and
Shoemaker were the only democrats
voting against it.
On the Quackenbush bill Allen ,
Hardin and Hasik , republicans , voted
for it , and Fries , Riha and Shoemaker
voted against it. The former bill may
squeeze through with just enough
votes to pass it , but the latter has lit
tle show of passing. It is a constitu
tional amendment and requires sixty
votes. There are but fifty-four demo
cratic members.
Cordeal's Primary Bill.
While the house was passing a.
closed primary bill the senate was voting
ing on Cordeal's primary bill , S. F.
261. The bill passed by a vote of J,7
to 12. Kohl , Placek , Reagan and Tan
ner , were the four democrats who ,
with thirteen republicans , passed the
bill. Varner , republican , and Horton
and Volpp were absent and not voting.
The Cordeal bill provides two ways of
placing candidates , first by political
committees which are selected at pri
mary elections , and petition of regis
tered party voters.
Non-partisan Board.
A final effort will be made to get
through the house the Matrau nonpartisan
tisan board of control bill , a measure
which , it is believed , answers more
specifically the platform pledges of
both -democratic and republican par
ties than any of the others now -pend
ing. As a step toward this effort , the
vote , defeating the bill , was reconsid
ered and the bill was amended in com
mittee of the whole to remove an ob
jectionable feature. It has been again
placed on the third reading calendar.
Last Pay Day For Legislators.
Members of the senate drew their
last month's salary from the state on
Tuesday. Either the $100 checks must
be stretched over the remaining days
that the senate is in. session or the
senators will dig down into their
pockets and pay for the privilege of
serving the people of the state. Wed
nesday is the sixtieth day , the last day
of the session for which pay is pro
vided. Employes of the senate are
more fortunate and will continue to be
paid as long as the session lasts.
Funds for Secretary Smith.
Buhrman of Howard called up his
motion offered Friday to give Secre
tary W. H. Smith $1,200 for preparing
the senate journal for publication and
reading proof. Tibbets of Adams of
fered substitute motions to give the
same amount but to give $400 each to
Secretary Smith , Assistant Secretary
Walrath and Assistant Secretary Per

a vote of 8 to 14. The original motion
was then adopted without opposition.

passes the legislature a'nd is adopted

Will Be No District Attorneys.

teen district attorneys was killed by
the .senate and with this action went "
glimmering the hopes .of several po
litical gentlemen who have attended
the legislature in the hope of framing
up jobs for themselves.
Passed Stock Yards Bill.

stock yards bone of contention by
passing the Ollis bill by a vote of 71

ing a bucket shop shall be deemed
guilty of a felony.
Governor Signs Initiative Bill.
Governor Aldrich has announced
that he had signed senate file No. 1 ,
the Skiles initiative and referendum
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment.
A determined effort to kill the bill
appropriating $100,000 for a building

t
sent.

$100,000 for a new building for the .
state medical college at Omaha , as

ernor Aldrich has issued a 1,500-word
statement stating that the ra'lway
commission has jurisdiction only over

EARTH THREE-
So Says Prof. Otto Klotz of Do
minion Observatory.
Globe Went Spinning Through Heav
ens as Gigantic Tetrahedron Life
Pushed Here From Some Part
of Universe by Pressure.
Ottawa , Ont. The earth once was
the shape of a three-sided , flat-headed
top and went spinning through the
heavens as a gigantic tetrahedron , ac
cording to Prof. Otto Klotz of the Do
minion Observatory , writing in the
Journal of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety of Canada.
The shape was assumed just after
the globe had taken on a more solid
form. Under the tendency of contrac
tion the stresses and strains followed
the lines of least resistance. The
tetrahedron is one of the regular geometrical
metrical solids which has the least
volume for a given surface. As a
tetrahedron the planet had four cor
ners , six edges and four surfaces , the
edges manifesting themselves as moun
tains and the surfaces as depressions ,
and hence oceans.
"We know , " says Professor Klotz ,
"that the South Pole is surrounded fry
land , which corresponds to an apex
of the tetrahedron , while opposite to
it is a surface equivalent to a depres
sion , or ocean. In the tetrahedron
every corner has a surface opposite it ,
so that for the earth this would mean
that land and watei are antipodal ,
which is fairly well represented in the
actual conditions. Another result
would be that the land masses would
be broad in the northern hemisphere
and taper toward the south , which also
agrees with our geography.
"Inversely , the oceans should con
tract toward 'the south , a condition
fairly well borne out. The north polar
sea being represented by a surface of
the tetrahoidal figure and the south
polar one by a corner , it would follow
that the flattening of the earth in the
southern hemisphere would be less
than in the northern , and furthermore
that the force of gravity would In
crease less rapidly toward the South
Pole than toward the North Pole.
Both these considerations have been
confirmed by geodetic and pendulum
observations. "
Answering the question as to how
life first got on earth. Professor Klotz
asserts it probably was pushed here
from some other part of the universe
by light pressure.
"A force , though very small in mag
nitude , has been discovered In light ,
known as light pressure , which oper
ates in opposition to gravity , " he says.
"When particles of a spherical form
are reduced to a diameter of a sixth of
a micron , which is equivalent to 1-150-
000 of an inch , light pressure will push
such a particle into space. ' The spores

been divided into comparatively
small rooms , and built into the corners
of the great building were little wine

"Man-Shy" Birds More Difficult to
Keep Alive Than Any Other
Kinds Other Problems.
London. Problems that have to be
faced in keeping alive the animals at
the Zoological society's gardens
formed the subject cf a most interesting -

.Ic societj' .
Two great-dangers that confronted
wild animals in freedom , he said , did
not exist at the zoo death at the
hands cf other wild animals and star
vation.
A curious feature was the heavy
mortality among British birds in cap
tivity. It was heavier than that of
birds from distant lands.
Explorers in those lands described
the complete absenceof _ shyness in
birds and animals. It'was not so with
English birds and animals , for in in
habited countries the only chance a
wild animal had of life was to be
"man-shy. "
English birds and animals had there
fore acquired this "intolerance of
man. " That was why they took so
long to get used to keepers and visit
ors , and why the mortality was so
heavy.
Another difficulty was the change of
diet. Take the gorilla , for instance.
They had until lately giren high prices
for gorillas , so the hunters caught
life to be transported from one planet
to another. Hence a world inIts be
ginning , such as ours passed through ,
probably received its first germ of
life from some other world. We , in
turn , may contribute for the beginning
of life on some world unknown to us.

he claimed I had psoriasis. I contin

six months until I saw scales break

hair began , to fall. I then changed
doctors to no avail. I went to two

to cure It or assure me of a cure. I
