TO FARM CAMPUS
SENATE FAVORS REMOVAL
THE UNIVERSITY.
OF
BULLA BILL IS MOST DRASTIC
In All cf Them Fights Would Be
Keener Were Bills Enacted Into
Law Present Provisions
in That Line Rigid.
, ,
By a vote of 14 to PJ the senate de-
feated a motion to retain the location
of the University of Nebraska on the
campus in Lincoln and to levy a one -
half mill tax for the extension and im -
provement of the city campus and the
state farm oaninns. Then, hv a vote
of 20 to l'. the senate adopted a report
of a joint committee recommending
removal of the university to the state
Cllll, III IIJU aiaiU
farm campus and to levy a one mill ad -
ditional tax for eight years to defray

WES. PICKINS
Powell, Nebraska
Senator Twenty-third District.
With county seat relocation fights
at various stages of progress in sev
eral counties, four bills have been in
troduced in the house of representa
tives looking to the settling of these
affairs under different laws than those
existing at the present time.
XIne counties have prospective re
moval fights on, each or them varying
from the others only in the degree of
Intensity and activity with which the
present county seats are being as
sailed. The warmest fight Is probably in
Franklin county, where the city of
Franklin is seeking to take the hon
ors bodily from Bloomington. The
matter was voted upon at the last
election in a test vote proposition on
the advisability of building a new
court house. Litle was gained there
from, however, and the matter is in
practically the same condition as be
fore election, the bond proposition be
ing decisively defeated at that tr ?.
Governor's Maintenance.
The 'house started to play a little
politics when the general maintenance
bill was up for consideration and the
item for the board of governor's ser
vants and immediate family was being
discussed. Ten democrats voted with
the republicans io retain the item in
the bill, although this is the first time
such an item has ever api cared in a
general maintenance bill.
Plenty of Work Left.
Just what will be done about a sift
ing committee in the house is a matter
of conjecture. Most of the members
who have been heard to express them
selves about it believe it is still too
early to begin operation under the con
trol of this committee. In fact, a sift
ing committee will not be appointed
until it is absolutely necessary, or un
til a majority of members give up
hopes of reaching their bills -in the
general order of business.
Protects Poo Drinkers.
Bodison of Kearney made his ini
tial speech by moving that S. F. 2So
be ordered engrossed for third read
ing. He introduced the bill, and it
speaks for itself. It declares it to be
a misdemeanor for any manufacturer
to sell pop or other non-alccholic
drinks containing saccharine or coal
tar sweeteners.
Talcott explained that the bill
would hit some manufacturers who are
underselling others by usinsr a chean-1
er sweetener. It was c:Ji:d en-
grossed for third read:n?
Warden Salary.

crease the salary of the warden of ,
the penitentiary from $1,500 to J2.0fi0 i

Apportionment Bills.
The apportionment bills which are
to be reported as now prepared in the
senate will probably be reported in
the house also, although the members
of the house committee are much mys
tified at the situation. The senate
bill was fixed up by the aid of demo
cratic house members, but the republi
can members have been frequently
consulted. The efforts to hold meet
ings of the house committee have not
been successful. Chairman Regan
claims to know nothing concerning
the bills, and says that the house
must still do its work. He is not
calling meetings, and it now looks as
if the house would be asked to accept
the senate bills on senatorial appor-
tionment as well as the senate bills
on judicial and congrcssioaal api)or.

to be mentioned by the framers of the
bill is the "railway commission." The
bill in question requires railroads to
use standard sized cabooses, it is not
believed the incorrect name of the
commission mentioned in the bill will
have any effect on the validity of the
measure. For seme reason the mem
bers of the commission object to being
called a Vailroad commission. To sonic
this term conveys a different idea than
the term railway commission.
All for Stockyards Bill.
The house passed the Taylor stock
yards bill as amended and as accepted
by the house several days ago. One
vote only, McKelvie of Lancaster, was
' east against the measure. There Is
I openly voiced suspicion against the
' bill in the house because the Douglas
I county delegation voted for it. It is
even said that a motion will soon be
made to set a day for the considera
tion of the Ollis bill and that this bill
will also be passed through the house.
The fear is that with the sifting com
mittee appointed in the senate the
Taylor bill will he allowed to die in the
committee arid no stockyards legisla
tion be secured.
The White Slave Bill.
Without indulging in debate and
without the slightest opposition the
senate recommended for third read
ing Senator Horton's bill prohibiting
and providing severe penalties for en
gaging in the "white slave" traffic. A
procurer, under this bill is liable on
a first conviction for a county jail sen
tence from six months to a year or a
fine up to $1,000. and on a second of
fense a penitentiary sentence of from
three to ten years is provided.
Only Bill Recommended.
The Smith bill, the one that so far
has met with the approval of the
standing committee of the house, elim
inates entirely the ten year provisions
of the present county seat law. Other
wise there is no change between it
and the present statute. It meets the
exigencies of the occasion by leaving
the relocation open to all the towns
in a county without faoring county
seats which now have the advantage
of the ten year clause.
Democratic Joint Caucus.
A short joint caucus of the house
and senate democrats was held at the
Lincoln hotel. Reapportionment was
the main subject under discussion al
though other party pledges were
talked over informally. The possibili
ty of instilling more harmony into the
rest of the legislative session was
touched upon in a casual way. none of
the speakers however evincing a de
sire to go at the matter.
Capital Removalists Cautious.
The failure of the capital removal
promoters, Bailey of Buffalo and Sink
of Hall, to make any move for the ad
vancement of their bill. H. R. No. 382.
is responsible for the impression that
they are afraid to have it reach a vote
at this time. Bailey and Sink could
have the solid support of the Lancas
ter delegation if they would ask to
have the bill advanced for consider
ation. Talcott's Ventilation Bill.
Chief in importance among the bills
so far passed by the senate was .Tal
cott's bill providing for the proper san
itation and ventilation of factories
The bill also provides for guarding
dangerous machinery.
The Skiles initiative and referendum
bill as amended by the house, went
through without a negative vote, ex
cept that of Lawrence of Dodge, whe
later changed his vote to the affirma
tive. The bridge bill introduced by Ban
ning and Skiles. S. F. 272. as amend
ed by the bridge committee, was en
dorsed by the committee of the
whole. The introducers of the bill ex
plained that it was intended to break
the back of the bridge combine.
Governor Sends Message.
In a message to the house Thurs
day afternoon Governor Aldrich called
the attention of the representatives
to the fact that there were defects in
several of the measure which had
reached his desk for approval.
The senate In committee of the
whole indefinitely postponed S. F. 1S8,
by Tanner and then when the commit
tee arose the action was overturned
by a vote of seventeen to thirteen and
t'-o bill was ordered cngroicd for a
third reading.
Newspaper Spoils.
S. F. 297. by Tibbets. relating to the
publication of proceedings of county
boards, was indefinitely postponed to
ACM OF TROOPS
NOTIFIED TO BE READY
QUICK WORK.
FOR
DIRECTED FROM WASHINGTON
Carter's Division to Be Ready in Twe
Hours if Word Comes from
National Capital.
San Antonio. Tex. Orders have
been recehed here from Washington
that General Carter's maneuver divi
sion shall hold itseir in readiness to
break camp and take the field as if
for actual warfare within two hours.
The order caused much comment, for
the particular reason that it did not
ccme iu the general maneuvers orders
issued by General Carter but from the
seat of the government.
Such an order means a blanket, ten
days rations, shelter tents. 200 rounds
of ammunition, etc.
The order to be in readiness for
operations in the field, while it might
be a legitimate feature of maneuvers,
is not taken in that sense.
Excepting the general-, to whom
long years have taught conservatism,
every one rejected the maneuver
theory, but could not explain where
war was to be expected. One officer
of prominence said he hoped Mexico
und the United States would not he
come embroiled.
"We would defeat Mexico and there
would be no lesson learned. The un
thinking in congress would have an
other object to point to, to show that
we can depend on the volunteers in
an emergency. We can after we have
lost 75 per cent to teach the remain
ing 25 per cent how to light.
"A strong lesson is needed. Japan
or Germany would serve preferably
the former, because of her geographic
al 'situation. They are quite capable
jf attacking us. with their perfect pre
paredness, whenever ready. We hae
spent ten days iu turmoil gathering a
handful of men in Texas. Ultimately
wo should triumph, hut the ultimate
cost would be appalling. It would be
much cheaper, even in money, let
alone lives, to treble our force, than
to take such a lesson, considering the
resultant pension rolls alone."
Officers canuot be quoted for publi
cation where criticism of superiors is
involved, or to be inferred, but the
man who made the foregoing state
ment has a reputation which extends
beyond the army.
WOMAN FOUND GUILTY.
Mrs. Davis Convicted of Killing Her
Husband.
Hartington. Xeb. A verdict of
murder in the first degree with im
prisonment for life was returned by
the jury in the case of Mrs. Maggie

OVERTURES TO DIAZ.
Indications Are That They Will Not
Be Accepted.
Mexico City. The intention of Fi

to him, in dispatches from Xew York
of coming to the capital to induce
President Diaz to listen to terms pro
posed by the Insurrectos for cessa
tion of hostilities it is said in offi
cial circles, probably will prove fruit
less. Only recently General Diaz an
nounced a plan which was not one
of conciliation but one of relentless
warfare.

sponding grade and from the same
arm of the survice. The War depart

Morrill County. A most remarka
ble suicide occurred on the north
