THE SENATE ACTIVE CESSIONS HENCEFORTH WILL BE GIN EARLIER. MORE RAPID WORK IN VIEW 'Insurgents" Said to Be Causing De lay, They Giving More Trouble than the Democrats. Washington. Beginning Monday the daily sittings of the senate will commence at 10 o'clock in the morn ing. The hour has been advanced in the hope of expediting final action on the tariff bill by more rapidly dispos ing of the long speeches as well as of the detailed discussion of the various disputed schedules. The 'considera tion of the measure has developed greater opposition on the part of a dozen or so of republican senators than was expected, and the support ers of the bill feel that every possible effort must be made to exhaust their criticism and bring the bill to a vote. So far, however, they have received no encouragement from the "insur gents," and the republican leaders are quite in the dark as to when the end may be reached. Indeed, they are fintrng less difficulty on that point in dealing with the independent republi cans and the opinion is freely ex pressed that but for this antagonism a day might soon be set which would decide the fate of the measure. The discussion this week will deal with the various paragraphs which have been passed over, but there will be a few speeches on the general tariff question, including one by Sen ator Depew, which probably will be delivered Monday. Senator Clay has prepared and will deliver, probably on Tuesday, an elaborate speech criticis ing the sugar schedule and undertak ing to show that it is in the interest of the sugar combination. The razor schedule will receive first attention Monday and Senator Simmons will conntinue his efforts to have the rate lowered. Senator rBailey " will continue to press his demand for a vote on the income tax as a feature of the tariff bill, but it is an open secret in the senate that he is not now nearly -so confident of a successful result of such a vote as he was in the begin ning of the agitation. Indeed, he has confided to some of his friends his conviction that some of the advocates of such a tax have been "picked off" by the enemy. The general opinion among the supporters of the income tax policy is that the cause in the senate has been materially weakened by the decision of the president not to press for the tax. At any event, it is not probable that a vote on the question will be reached this week. In the house, an attempt will be made to pass the Philippine tariff bill on Monday and the Porto Rico bill on Thursday. The latter measure will be reported Monday. Both bills will arouse discussion, but it is not be lieved there will be any stubborn op position to cither, and the committee having them in charge are confident of disposing of each after a day of de bate.

The referee is a!o master' in chancery for the federal court at Omaha in suits pending in that court and he will file the same report with Judge W. H. Mungcr. If the supreme court adopts the re port it will mean a saving of about $270,000 a year to the people of Ne braska and little or no reduction in the profits of the express companies. The five companies doing business in this state last year collected from the people of Nebraska $735,000 The Sibley act was passed by thoprom now oa Rartics brought before gislature of 1907. Attorney General j nIm on the charge of indulging two leg; Thompson sought to enforce the law and filed an application for an injunc tion"' to restrain the companies from violnting its provisions. The com panies took, the case to the federal court and it was remanded by Judge T. C. Munger on the" ground that the state was the sole party at interest and therefore the federal court had no jurisdiction. The supreme court granted' a temporary restraining or der against the companies April 15 and since that time the act has been in force. The supreme court appointed Judge John J. Sullivan referee to take testimony and report findings of fact and conclusions of law. The referee held hearings in Lincoln, Omaha and New York City. Attorney General Thompson will file a motion in the supreme court for judgment upon the referee's report. The companies will probably file ex ceptions to the report and the case will then have to be argued before the court or submitted on briefs. This may occupy considerable time. In the meantime Jf the federal court should find for the companies the attorney general will have a strong point in reserve in the supreme court of the United States. He will assail the jurisdiction of the federal court on the ground that, the state is the sole party at interest and that therefore the state court alone has jurisdiction. There are five identical cases, in volving the Adams. American, Wells Fargo, Pacific and United States Ex press companies. The finding by Judge Sullivan in all is the same. In the Adams case his finding concludes: "My conclusions of law are as fol low: "First That the Sibley act so far as it affects the business of the Adams Express company, is not confiscatory. "Second That a judgment on its merits should be entered in favor of the state and against the company." Award of State Printing. A majority of the state printing board has awarded contracts. In each case the lowest bidder received what he wanted. The bids were opened some time ago, but official awards were not made till last week.

Barnum, the veteran missionary of the American board in eastern Turkey, to suggest what in his judgment will promote popular ed ucation and social reform. Cause for Relief. An Alabama man tells of an unique funeral oration delivered in a town of that state not long ago by a darky preacher. Now, it seems that the habits of the deceased brother had not been irre proachable, to the great scandal of the worthy pastor of the flock. So, in summing up the case at the funeral, the preacher delivered himself of the following: "My brethren and sisters," we are here to pay our last sad respects to our departed brother. Some says he was a good man, and some says he was a bad man. Where he has gone to we can't tell, but in our grief we have one consolation, and that is he's dead." LIGHT BOOZE Do You Drink It? A minister's wife had quite a tussle with coffee and her experience is in teresting. She says: m "During the two years of my train ing as a nurse, while on night dutj I became addicted to coffee drinking. Be tween midnight and four in the morn ing, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do escept make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want a gcod, hot cup of cof fee about that time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better. "After three or four years of coffee drinking "I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent bilious at tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. "After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit. "I began taking Postum. and for a few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lack of the stimulant, but I liked the taste of Postum and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel clearer head ed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum I now feel like a new woman have not had any bilious attacks since I left off coffee."

A writer in Tit Bits relates the following rather one-sided couver--sation which took place in a book store. The lady entered in a hurry. "I've only got a little time." she said to the clerk., "and I want to get my husband a book for his birthday. Show me what you have.

Man is evidently made for thought; this is his whole dignity and his whole merit; his whole duty is to thick ns he ought. Now the order of thought is to begin with self, and with its au thor and its end. Now of what thinks the world? Never of these things, but of dancing, playing the lute, singing, making verses, tilting at the ring. etc.. or fighting, making ourselves kings, without thinking what it is to bo a king or what to be a man.
