SEVERAL AMENDMENTS OFFERED. > - _ _ _ _ _ Other Legislative ) Proceeding Meet ing of .Jonc.s County Farmers Hrllllant OpcnliiK ol'lho Hotel Hclnm at AHliland. Inwn'H DKS Moixr.s , la. , Jan. 27. [ Specfal Tele- 'pram totheUii : . ] The registry bill , which 1ms been under hot discussion In the senate todny , is based upon the general registry Jaw n.isscd'two ytiars ago. That was Iowa's llrst/oxiH-rlment with the registration , and like nil experiments , its defects were brought cut by , trial. There has been n great deal of clamor against the registry law because of i.tlfroc. principal objections to it. Thcso wore thu expense It caused , the nuisance of fre quent registration and the operation of tl ; law to deprive persons from voting who could iiot-bo present to register on the days pro scribed by law. Under present arrange. in6nts it costs some S 1,400 or $ lr > 00 for onu registration in this city. The law , as amended proposes to reduce the ext - ( t > ci\BO \ by cutting down and limiting the compensation of Judges nnd clerks of registration. Under present iirrangemontM voters are compelled to take the trouble of registering at every election , general or upeclal , QVCII should they come but four weeks apart. The ainemlcd law requires registration for presidential elections and provides that in other years the lists may bo made up from the lists of the year last pro ceeding und adding such names ns have never been registered , exempting school elections entirejy from -its operation. Thus another hardship is avoided and another oujcction re moved. The now bill also provides that 1 when voters iiru out of town and so unable to J register on the appointed days they may have a chance on election day by making atmlavlt to tlio necessary facts. It is believed that with these corrections tlio registry law will meet with general favor and bo permanently accepted. Tlio objection to the old law is s < i btrong that unless these defects are corrected there will bo a strong effoit to do away with it entirely. The debate to-day largely as KUincd a partisan character and was quite heated ut times. The democrats were op- ixjsed to the bill or sought to weaken its pro visions with amendments that would glvo it but little effect. There was u good deal ol cumpalgn talk of thu stump speech order , which protracted the debate several hours. The Iowa DCS MoiNKg , In. , Jan. 27. At 3 o'clock tht Rcnato took up the bill introduced by Mr , Hutchison to amend the acts of the twenty lirst general assembly relating to the regis tratlon of voters in cities. The chief feature ; wherein the bill ditfcis from the present ure A provision for-registration on the day o : election instead of on only stated days semi time before , and the requirement of full ref stmtion only In presidential elections ; als < allowing the list to bo mudo from the list o voters ut the lust preceding election. Tin jiroscnt registration law was passed by tin i last legislature and the bill nowunderdiscus nion is a substitute for it. The bill was takci up by sections , the consideration of the second end section occupying the entire afternoon The general changes were in some of tin hraseology adopted. The main discussioi was over thu amendment offered by Kcgler of Jackson , conlining the registration t < cities of the llrst class. The constitutionality of the bill wns argued at length by Hutch ison and Holler. These speaking favorably to the bill were Hutchison , Woolson , Sweney Young and Leeds ; opposed , Kepler , Dodge ttmd Holler. The matter was undecided at ( o'clock , and an adjournment was taken untl fl o'clock Saturday morning , milking the bil the special order of business. 1IOU.SB.

Kocno Greeted Hy a Large Audience - ntr Boyd's. - It wns nearly 0 oclock be-foro the curtnin raised on the first scene in "Othello" at the Hoyd last night. The large audience was n most good-natured onu and patiently sat ia semi-durkness for u long hour without any unusual demonstration of disapproval ut the delay. Mr Keeno's appearance failed to elicit any welcoming applause , but this is not strange us ho has changed greatly since his last appearance in Omaha and fewrecog- ni/.ed bun. Mr. KeQiie was cast us lago , and in the portrayal of this crafty and cruel character he fails to display the talcnt.s which lui exhibits ns the Moor. Mr. Wheel- ock's Othello was fair , though his conception of the parj. . is inferior to that of the star. Miss Hoyle nsr Desdemona was excellent. She seemed to fully reuluo the importance of tlio character and invests it with a charm ing womanly interest that ia good to look upon and hear. The balance of the company are good. AT TIIK oiuxn. The second performance of "Hidden Hand" by Cora Van Tassel's company at the Grand last night was witnessed by a large nud enthusiastic audience.

The people , who arc chielly mestixos , do not look unhealthy , and the whites tvho are bore say that they stand it very well. The natives are a handsome race and remarkably well formed. Docile and 'ntelligent , they make excellent ser vants , and wo wonder at how cruel must invo been their old Spanish taskmasters ndecd to have mnde these men rise against them. There is no aristocracy "n Nicaragua save of intelligence.

If clouds drive up high Iroin the south expect a thaw. If shooting stars fall in the south in winter , expect a thaw. In winter , if the fences and trees are covered with white frost , expect a thaw. A very heavy white frost in winteris followed by a thaw. White frost on three successive nights indicates a thaw. Hogs rubbing themselves in winter in dicates an approaching thaw. When in winter pigs rub against the side of their pen , it is a sure sign of a thaw. thaw.When When little black insects appear on the snow , expect a thaw. If the trees are frosty and the sun takes it away before noon , it is-a sign of rain. , % If there bo an abundance of h'oau frost expect rain. A Creditable Winter Fish Story.

About three hours after ( so Dempsey said ) ho went to the barrel and found that the pickerel had thawed back to lifo , but ho could find no smelts. The pickerel had cuton them.

The chemist unfolds the mysteries of analytical demonstration. Tlio mlcroscopist gives Us glimpses of minute forms nnd nppearuncos which the unaided eye could never detect or the imagination picture. Tim largo army of suffering men , women and children that pass in procession before the surgeon in n per petual march throughout his active priu'tlco ' titlord abundant material for thbught and research and demonstrates his powers in repairing the ravages of acci dents or disease upon the human form. The heart with a quick impulse sends the blood all brigtit and scarlet through thu great aortic tree and its branches , to every nook and corner of the human frainu. The various organs and tissues of tlio body drink from this river of lifo their sustenance. They suck up all the beauty and freshness of the beautiful current and pour back into it all the waste and pollution of their continuous decay. Tito stream , now black and muddy , turns sluggishly in its course and seeks once moro the center of its lifo. On its way it en counters a palo tributary from tlio organs of digestion. The swollen tide at hist comes homo to the heart , nnd with a convulsive throb is carried to tlio lungs for its benedic tion of tlio blood of life. The transformation is instan'aneous nnd marvelous. The stream is again bright nud happy and scarlet , and lilted once more , for tho. uses of lite. I wish I could to-night map out practical suggestions that would refresh and bunellt many a long expanse of life that would bu dreary and barren without them , nnd be the beacon light that would warn you in tluios of danger in placing upon the can vas of the future your fancy pictures the central figure of them all , the ideal surgeon. An artist with his palette , brush , stool nml umbrelln leaves his studio for a fe\v glimpses of nuturo. If ho meets with no scene suni- cicntly interesting to bo sketched as a whole ho looks lor fragmentary bounties a shapely tree , u jutting crug , a ruined house , u bit of hike , of stream , of sky pleases his fancy , and are sketched and placed In his portfolio to bo subsequently blended in a work of art , or if his fancy runs to figures a graceful form , a handsome face , n beautiful hand , n well- formed foot pleases his fancy they are re membered and subsequently combined to Ins satisfaction. Bo in the completion of the true surgeon , if no individual of your ac quaintance is sufficiently perfect to net as your best ideal , and I trust thcro is none , you have to construct ono for yourselves , make the face intelligent , cheerful , patient and kind , thu head poised in an attitude of respectful attention , the hands skillful , yet gentle and ready to perform whatever work they may have to do. The feet tireless , will ing und impatient for their dally rounds. Givu the whole ilguro u bearing of confidence , ability , dignity and kindness. Tlio surgeon Is a philosopher as ivell as a mechanic. Ho must dual with men's hearts nnd minds as well ns with their bodies. The part that concerns the surgeon la tlio central figure , and he must try nnd make his life as near it as jwasiblo u credit to himself and to his profession. Above all things make the effect a cheer ful ono as the Warm rays of the summer sun melt the snow and ice und awaken to activity the hidden forces of nature , which tlio cold and frost of winter chill nnd destroy , ns the iiiild nnd effective measures banish diseased conditions which cruder and severermeasures only aggravate. No doubt but you have all experienced the fact that the genial presence of u warm-hearted surgeon will encourage to returning health. The world nbout ps is a mirror in which we see but n reflection of ourselves nnd our na tive selfishness , love of worldly prosperity , sensuality and wickedness generally cloud our vision with a veil of eartn , through which wo catch but glimpses of the higher lifo wo all aspire to aud to which so few are able to attain. At the close of the lecture the doctor re plied to a number of practical surgical ques tions put by his auditors. Among them were : How to stop n hemorrhage ; the modus op erand ! of cutting off a linibthe ; repair of n fracture ; why does the study of medicine lead men over to infidelity ; how to dress guu- shot , railroad and other kind of wounds.
