W. B. BANNING
Union, Nebraska
State Senator, Fourth District
at the legisiatui e. The Nebraska Re
tailers" association asked for the pass
age of the bill and manufacturers of
prize packages trading stamp com
panies had able lawyers on the ground
to combat the bill and to question its
constitutionality.
Eager Wins Charter Fight.
The troubles of the Iancaster coun
ty delegation were aired at length be
fore the house in discussion over the
Lincoln 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 ciiange in the date of
the spring election. Eager's bill pro
xies 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
has back of it the old "wet" and 'dry"
fight in Lincoln, the Russians being
supposed to favor the "wet" policy for
the city.
Had Up-Hill Work.
Numerous efforts were made to get
bills advanced in the house without
the intervention of the sifting commit
tee. Most 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
had a special meeting of the sifting
committee called, but could not get
the bill through this. An effort was
made to bring out the McKelvie bill
appropriating $25,000 for a state pub
licity 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
to most of tbem. This realization
came with the report or the joint com
mittee on adjournment.
The committee agreed to an ad
journment April 4, which will give
two more weeks of work. This would
probably mean actual adjournment
about April 7 or S.
The house again defeated an at
tempt to kill the university medical
school bill. Nearly an hour was spent
in controversy over parliamentary pro
cedure. The dispute revolved about
the question of the right or the house
to correct the Journal of yesterday to
make 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 Kulil has appointed
Leidigli. Fuller and Neir as members
of the joint committee to fix the time
for adjournment.
Another Hotel BHl by Sink.
Representative Sink, author of the
nine-foot -bed sheet bill, has come for
ward in behalf of the traveling men
of the state. The hotel commission
bill, sought by the traveling men's
associations was brougbt out by the
sifting committee as a result of a lit- j
tie persj iration expended m its ucuul;
by the Grand Island statesman. The
bill was introduced by Bulla, k pro
vides for a state commission to have
general supervision over the sanitary
arrangemeuts c hotels.
Considerable difficulty was encount
ered by friends of road biils in the
senate, but most bf the trouble was in
securing twenty-two votes necessary
to pass the bills with emergency
clauses. but friends of the bill say !
the date the bills are to take, effect I
makes little difference. The bills
passed were S. F. 371. for a state
highway commission: S. F. 365. for a
state levy for state aid in the con
struction of new roads, the state to
pay hair, the county 35 per cent and
land owners benefited 15 per cent of
the cost.
Judicial Bills Recommended.
Both pending judicial bills were
recommended to pass, by the bouse
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. On the Lee
non-partisan judiciary bill the vote
stood 50 to 42 with eight absent.
Hardin was the only republican voting
for the bill, while Bnsee. Fries and
Shoemaker were the only democrats
voting against it.
On the Quackenbush bill Allen.
Hardin and Hasik. republicans, voted
Tor 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 vot
ing on Cordeal's primary bill, S. F.
201. The bill passed by a vote of 17
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 Cordcal bill provides two ways of
placing candidates, first by political
committees which are selected at pri
mary elections, and petition of regis
tercd party voters.
Non-partisan Board.
A final effort will be made to get
through i he house the Ma trail non-partisan
hoard or 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 rend
ing. As a step toward this effort, the
voti 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 ror the privilege of
serving the people or the state. Wed
nesday is the sixtieth day. the last day
or 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.
Buhnnan 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. Tibbcts of Adams of
fered substitute motions to give the
same amount but lo give $400 each to
Secretary Smith. Assistant Secretary
Walrath and Assistant Secretary Per
kins. The substitute was defeated by
a vote of S to 14. The original motion
was then adopted without opposition.
Amended. Ad Club Bill.
The Ad club bill for the commission
form of government has been amended
by the senate so that the water board
will be exempt from the operation ol
the commission form of government in
Omaha in the event that the bill
passes the legislature and is adopted
in Omaha.
Will Be No District Attorneys.
Placet's bill providing for seven
teen district attorneys was kiiled 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.
The house finished up with the
stock yards bone of contention by
passing the Ollis bill by a vote or 71
to 21, eight being absent. The gover
nor is expected to sign the bill as
soon as it reaches him.
Anti-Bucket Shop.
The senate sifting committee placed
on the general file S. F. Xo. 31S by
Bartos or Saline. The bill provides
that any person operating or patroniz
ing a bucket shop shall be deemed
guilty or a relony.
Governor Signs Initiative Bill.
Governor Aldrich has announced
that he had signed senate file Xo. 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
for the University Medical school in
Omaha came near being successful
and the bill squeezed through with
just barely enough votes to pass it.
The vote stood 51 to 41, with S ab
sent. If the appropriation bill, carrying
$100,000 for a new buildinc for the
state medical college at Omaha, as
well as Sl'0.000 for maintenance,
reaches the senate, it will be passed
in that body. Before the senate can
give its indorsement to the measure,
however, the house must pass the bill.
In explanation of hi.- veto of the
Taylor-Dolezal stock yards bill. Gov
ernor Aldrich has issued a 1. ."Co-word
statement stating that the ra?Iway
commission has jurisdiction only over
common carriers, while this bill called
the stock yards "public markets."
Unless the senate sifting committee
sees fit to sift out senate file Xo. 318
in pretty short order. Frank Bartos
promises to start something on the
floor of the senate. This senate file Is
Bartcs anti-bucket shop bill. It pro
vides for the punishment of both the
broker and the trader in transactions
where actual delivery or commodity is
net intended.
Senator Bartcs says that several
members of the committee have said
that thc-y would put the bill on general
file, but that they have delayed thia
action.

names would be submitted outside or
their list or eleven, balked at this
changed program. They failed to
appear at the morning caucus and a
postponement was held untl ". in the
afternoon.
Meantime a committee representing
the regulars was arguing with the
insurgents who were in conference
at the residence of their leader. Sen

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That Hardly Seems Credit
able to the Generous Instincts

'According to a statement before a
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis
sionary society of the Presbytery of

zied Finance in Missions." In urging
the society to be more liberal iu Its

pertinence and logic of the remark.
DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA
"Our little boy Gilbert -was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor littlo fellow suffered very much.
Tho sores began as pimples, his lit
tlo face was disfigured very .much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The faco looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
bands to prevent hira from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little faco itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chi
:ago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought tho Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following tho directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re
sult, and after four weeks tho dear
child's faco was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hairwhich is a prido for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Reme
dies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. II.

Women's Secrets
There is one man in the United States who fs perhaps heart
more women's secrets than any other man or woman ia the
country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but
the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr.
R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help.
That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex
pectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of
oil women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and
altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the
cases treated were numbered by hundreds ecly. But whea
that record applies to the treatment of morethan hali-a- mil
lion women, in a nractice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal.
and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by woaaca, as the first of
specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick womaa may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely withosc
charge. AH replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain eavelopes, withooC
any printing or advertising whatever, upon them. Write without fear aa with
out fee, to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R. V. Pierce, Preac,
Buffalo, N. Y.
