Not Later Than March 30.
The committee from the house to
fix the time of adjournment of the
session met that appointed by the
senate Thursday and an informal dis
cussion of the end of the session was
indulged in. It -was decided to name
the date of final adjournment within
a day or so. The sense of the joint
committee was that the session should
adjourn finally not later than March
30. The joint committee adjourned till
Monday.
Senator Majors of Nemaha is one
of the farmers of the joint committee
who has had a sniff of growing grass
and who longs with an intense longing
to get between the plow handles. All
the committeemen talked enthusias
tically of what1 they term an early
adjournment, not one that -will leave
work undone, but one that can be
taken not later than the last day of
March. Some who arc not members
of the committee laugn loud and hi
lariously when they hear of this talk
of an "early adjournment," or a "busi
ness like session." Some of the mem
bers say that adjournment before the
first week in April is Impossible.
High Death Rate of House Bills.
The death rate in bills reported
from committees was exceedingly
high Friday morning. The spirit of
what's-the-use has entered into many
of the legislators and after glancing
at the huge general bills of less than
amazing importance are frequently
ditched.
Thomas bill to create an armory
commission for the national guard
was derailed. Nettleton's bill appro
priating $5,000 to repay old soldiers
for pensions taken from they by the
state .board of public lands and build
ings was buried and Snyder's bill for
$15,000 for test gas and oil borings
was put under the daisies. Hector's
bill appropriating $4,000 for coal re
wards was also killed. Xo attempt
was made to resurrect any of these
bills except the Thomas armory bill
and this attempt was futile.
-Even the Snyder appropriation for
the elevator at the Grand Island sol
diers and sailors home was indefinite
ly postponed. Clark's bill for $50,000
for a new institution for the blind was
put out of business. Buck's bill for
the repeal of the Sheldon one-mill
levy was also ditched. The last of
the victims was H. R. 459, which in
tended to reduce the state board of
assessment to include only the gover
nor, secretary of state and the treasurer.
Oyster Bay, N. Y. Happy in the
prspect of his departure Tuesday
morning for his long-planned African
"safari' or hunting trip, ex-President
Roosevelt was the soul of good hu
mor Sunday at his home at Saga
more Hill, where the members of his
family gathered for a final reunion
before the long journey to the jungle.
The ex-president waa in high spirits
and took a delight in looking after
his personal belongings. W. Emlin
Roosevelt and hisfamily, cousins ' of
the ex-president, called in the after
noon. Ex-Secretary of the Interior
Garfield visited Mr. Roosevelt and ex
tended his wishes for a safe journey.
Mr. Roosevelt was up with the sun,
as1 he said, to make the most of the
first day of spring. Nearing church
time, the start was made on foot for
Christ church, three miles away. Mr.
Roosevelt walked with his wife and
cousin, while Archie and Ethel pro
ceeded on foot ahead. Rev. Henry
Washburn, rector of the church, in
corporated a special prayer for Mr.
Roosevelt's safe return, in the regular
prayer.
Several of the congregation pressed
about Mr. Roosevelt at the close of
the church service and wished him a
fine journey and good luck.
Mr. Roosevelt and his wife made
the long trip back to Sagamore Hill
on foot and seemed not to mind the
clouds of dust raised by passing ve
hicles; rather. Mr. Roosevelt took it
as an experience that might likely
be met on the dry veldt outside of
Nairobi, where he will make his
headquarters in British East Africa.
After luncheon Mr. Roosevelt, with
two officials of the steamship com
pany, made a careful inspection of all
the baggage in order to see that
everything was right and tight for
the four-weeks trip to Mombassa. The
baggage was checked for Naples and
will be taken to the steamer at Ho
boken. "I am going to New York in the
morning," said Mr. Roosevelt, "and
will go to the steamer to inspect my
quarters and see that my personal
baggage is safely cared for.' I shall
take with me my wearing apparel,
rifles, ammunition, one tent from
here, books and some scientific in
struments." New York. Immediately upon the
arrival of the steamer Hamburg at
Its pier, a score of carpenters and
decorators were set to work remodel
ing the suit of staterooms which Mr.
Roosevelt is to occupy. The original
imperial suite consisted. of only three
rooms. The alterations will make
the suite one of five rooms.
Under the supervision of an expert
decorator, brought over from Ger
many, the entire suite will be rear
ranged. The first room will be a
drawing room immediately off which
will be Mr. Roosevelt's bedroom.
Connecting with this will be a dress
ing room, after which will come Ker

Sleeping Car Rate Unchanged.
King's bill, senate file No. 69, for a
reduction of rates on sleeping cars,
was unearthed by Tanner's committee
on miscellaneous corporations for the
purpose of killing it. The committee
has had charge of the bill since early

report. It recommended that the bill
be indefinitely postponed and the re
port was adopted after King's motion
not to concur had been defeated.

Kick Against Burlington.
C. A. Fowler of DeWitt has filed
with the state railway commission
a complaint against the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad because of
its work in diminishing the size of the
outlets for the flood waters of Turkey
creek. The waters-of this creek back
up in flood time and cause much dam
age. The complainant insists that
the railroad embankment and the
small openings through it are respon
sible for this condition. The matter
will be investigated by one or more
of the commissioners.

in Penitentiary.

totaling nearly $l,50o,000. Colonel D. B.
Cooper "and Robin J. Cooper, convict
ed of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to twenty years in the peni
tentiary for the killing of former
United States Senator Carniack, re
tired to the home of Judge J. C. Brad
ford and discussed the next move in
the case. Although Judge Hart fixed
,the bond at $25,000 for. each defend
ant, there was a rush to sign it on the
part of the wealthy citizens of Nash
ville, which fairly swamped the clerk
in the criminal court. If a new trial is
granted it will probably not take place
before next winter.
