REPRESENTATIVE M'MULLEN INTRODUCES -
TRODUCES BILL TO PROHIBIT.
PROVIDES HEAVY PENALTIES
Unlicensed HealcVs are to be Given
a Severe Setback If the Measure Is
Incorporated Into a Law Forbids
Even Ttlles.
.Lincoln , Jan. 28. Representative
frf McMullen of Gage county Introduced
'A. in the house 11. H. 105 , which will have
the effect of forcing every Christian
Science healer in the state out of ac
tion under the penalty of a line ning-
Ing from $50 to $300. The bill amends
section 8 , article 1 , chapter 55 , of the
compiled statutes of the state , icgu-
luting the piactlco of medicine , and
is so phrased as to Include "all who
shall biiggost , recommend or prescribe
any f6rm of treatment of diseased or
injured human beings foi the Intend-
Q ed palliation , lollof or cine of any
physical or mental ailment real or
imaginary , or both combined , or any
. person with the Intention of receivIng -
Ing therefor either dlicctly or Indi
rectly , any foe , gift or compensation
whatsoever. " The ] penally is also
Imposed for the use of any title Intended -
, tended to convoy the Idea that the person -
son Is engaged In the tieatmont of
r dlscaso.
To nmke It still more comprehen
sive the proposed stntute defines per
sons who hold themselves out to the
public ns being engaged In the dlag-
nosls of diseases lor the purpose of
public health , as amendable to the
statute. Every poison defined in sec
tion 1 of the act Is icquired to have a
license fiom the state hoaid of health
which is made up exclusive ! } of phy
sicians. The examination required Is
purely technical and such that no one
not trained in the matcria mcdlca
and the kindled sciences can pass.
Therefore it places all persons engaged -
gaged In healing under the necessity
of giving up their vocations , submit
ting to fines , or prepaiing to take out
licenses.

well. Miss A hi en played tlie part of

Washington , D. C. , Fob. 1 Under
the direction of the department of ng-
rlciilturo a federal quarantine was put
Into oflect today against a large pail
of the south and parts of other states |
to prevent the spread of splenetic fe-
ser among cattle The quarantine1
lines are largely the same as adopted
last venr.
The quni antlned tenltor > embraces < *
the eastern part of North Carolina , all
of South Carolina , Indian Territory , I
Alabama , Louisiana and Mississippi ,
that part of Virginia below the James i
i her , all of Georgia but Union. Towns
and Ilnbun counties , all of Arkansas ,
except the two not thorn tiers of conn-1 I
tl s , which aie loft outside the qunr-1
antlno during rehiuarj and March hut
are placed in quarantine dining the

BRIDGE LODBY PRESENT TO LOOK
AFTER ITS INTERESTS.
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW FAVORED
Committee Recommends Law Prohib
iting Cigarettes Movement for n
Binding Twine Factory Is Meeting
With Favor Tried In Kansas.
Lincoln , Jan. 28. Special to The
News : During the past week a little -
tlo Htienuoslty was Injected into the
leglslatuio by the piesenco. In the
city of the bridge lobby These hi Idgo
continctois woto on hand to see tlml
no laws woio adopted to Interfere
with the giaft which they so success
fully work In all pints of the state
They paitlcularlv want to kill any
bill which piovldes for full publicity
of plans and estimates , nnd for ac
tual competitive bids on all classes of
bildgcs It IH noticeable that some
few county cominlHslonois are work
Ing with the bridge men a comblna
tlon which Is calculated to make tax
pavers sit up ami take notice.
Things ate also getting vorv llvolv
In regard lo the county option bill ,
permitting all the people of a coiiutv
lo vote on the establishment of sa
loons In any pint of the county. The
chinch people have become very ac
tive , \\hllo the brewers from Omaha
have been here In full loico to kill
the measure At tills time It looks
like thoio will bo n hard and bitter
light over the matter.
The direct piimary bill IH still te
celvlng geneial attention , and It Is
quite appaient that many Influences
aie atvork to defeat It The can
vass made bv the 'Slate Join mil
among the republican papers of the
state has developed the fact that the
sentiment is piactlcally utvinimoiiH
for the direct primary. Interviews
with members here fail to disclose
open opposition among those who
have votes In the legislature. Yet It
is quite ceitnln that If the people at
home whore the reform Is desiicd do
not actively asseit themselves the bill
will have a hard time in getting
thioiigh.
The 'hoiibo has recommended fpr
passage the bill piohlbltlng the sale
of cigarettes or cigarette paper. One
of the pilnclpal champions of this bill ,
and who picsented the most conclu
bivc iiigunients , was Casobeor of
Cage , the only newspaper editor In
the leglslatuio.
The bill piovidlng for a landlord's
lion on the 'crops of his tenant to secure
cure the payment of lent , was one of
the fhsi hills to fail for the last twen
ty vears , and it always is defeated.
A majoiity of the members in com
mittee of the whole , whore no rec
ord is Kept of the individual votes ,
declare they want the bill to pass ,
but when the time comes lo go on
lecord , ( ho\ vote the other way.
Many amendments to the revenue
law have been pioposed , but the In-
dleatloiib at this time ate that none
of them will-ieceive gejioial suppoit
except the one providing for a change
in the method of equall/ation. Most
of the members express themselves ns
of the opinion that the law should be
thoroughly tried before radical chang
es me made.
The movement to establish a bind
ing twine factory in the state peniten
tial > seems sure to icsiilt In some
thing. It Is championed bv Cadv In
the senate and Ernst in the house
Committees fiom both houses will
go to the Kansas penitentiary this
week to examine the factory there ,
ascertain how'it is managed. A let
ter to Cady from the btate auditor of
Kansas gives the Information that the
factory last year sold Its product to
the farmers at a lower price thnn
that charged by the trust , -and that
the state derived a net profit of $21-
000 from its operation , during the
year.

AlfJSWORTH MAN LOST WALLET
L. F. Corbitt Meant to Buy a Hearse
and Lost $350 Cash.
Lincoln , Fob. 1. L F Corbitt has j
come to grief Last week he left his
homo at Aliibworth , wlieio he con
ducts a prospeioiiH undui'taklng and
furniture business , nnd in the fulness
of his prosperity decided to pin chase
a beautiful now hoaino , one with fan
cy black tassels and plate glass sides
through which the reverent piissersby
might see the casket of the late dc
parted With him ho hi ought $500.
Ho no longer has the money.
On Saturday , after llnlslhng the pur
chase of the shining mortuary cart ,
he found It was too late to catch a
train for homo , so ho spent Smidny
in Lincoln. Being of a religious turn ,
he attended set vice at the Adv enlist
Christian church , Twentieth nnd N
streets. At the close of the service ,
ho went up to convoibo with the min
ister.
In his hand ho held his wallet , n
long one of leather Then he finished
his conference , and peicoivcd the jan
itor standing expectantly waiting for
him to leave , that the lights might bo
turned out So ho jammed the wallet
Into his inside vest pocket , ns he sup
posed , nnd loft the building. Finding j
ho had time to get his train , ho start
ed for the Missouri Pacific depot.
Then ho tiled to buy a ticket , and
found that his valuables were gone.
Ho is of the opinion that the wallet
did not go Into the pocket , In his hnsto
to leave the building , and that It
worked Its way down and out some
where on the Journey from the church
to the depot
Mr. Corbitt had $350 in the purse ,
ns the other $150 had been expended
as an Installment on the honrso. The
pollco wore notified of the loss , nnd a
careful search of the route taken by
the man In leaving the church wna
