C. , April" . ) When the sonornt appropriations bill carry ing tho'nnpropriatlon Tor the geological sur- Toy comes before the senate it Is the Inten tion of Senator Paddock to odor nn amend ment which Is of profit Interest to farmers and others In Nebraska and Indirectly to the Inhabitants of a number of ether northwest ern slate * , slnco it may sot a precedent to bo followed by thorn. Ho will ask for an appro priation of $10,000 or * 15,000 with \vhlch to make n geological nnd irrigation report setting ting forth the natural resources of the state of "Nebraska In order that the state may have some portion of the benefits accruing from the largo appropriations annually made for the United States geological survoy. Thoiubjcct was brought to the attention of Senator Pad- deck In the early part ot tbli month by the receipt of n letter from Governor Uoyd , Secretary - rotary of State Allen , State Treasurer Hill , Attorney Ooncral Hastlnus nnd other dis tinguished oltlzons , who nikod the appoint- mct of Prof. Lewis Hicks of Lincoln to maico a report of this character , the endorsers of Prof. Hicks believing Unit thu law xvould aa- mlt of his employment by the director of the coologlc.il survey for the purpose. Senator Paddock addressed a letter to Director Powell , in which ho enquired whether the general appropriations for the geological urvoy admitted of work of this character , nnd , if not , whether a recommendation for uch an appropriation would bo mado. Koina Jloatrlctluni Imponuil. Sonntor.l'addock received n reply to his lottor. In which Director Powell starts out With the statement that the statutes provide for this class of worn and that It. hai for several years been going on In various portions tions of the west where Irrigation is neces sary for agriculture , but only in regions where the topocraphlo survey , which is apart -part ot tbo geological survey , is conducted. Ho writes turtbor : "Tho demand for this class of work everywhere In the arid regions is vury great , as irrigation works cannot be nroporly constructed without tbfl Informa tion wlilcli is furnished by guaglng the streams. California and Colorado rado hnvo mrulo special appropria tions for this purpose. Tha construction of works for irrigation without this knowl edge proves to bo enormously expensive and disastrous , ns the works nro speedily do- troyod by floods where these facts are un known. For flxamplo , In Utah it is estimated by the nerlcultural society that the Irrigat ing works bnvo boon destroyed and rebuilt to nuch an extent as to lucroas the coit four fold , all by reason of lack of knowledge re lating to tbo flow of the streams tbo 03 trolled , and such knowledge can only bo oL tallied by gauging. During the past two years the director of tha geological sur vey has not made special estimates for thw class of work , ns it is now only carried on In connection with tbo gen eral topographic work. The reason for not mailing the estimates is that it was claimed by certain parties that information can bo obtained in a cheaper way by a moro rapid manner by collecting tbo opinions of the people in the various localities as to the quantity of water flowing in tbo streams and the amount of land' which can bo redeemed - deemed by irrigation. Wow tlio Work Could Ho IJono. "Tho appropriations were mndo for this purpose under the direction of the Agricul tural department untl a special Investigation authorized to determine this and ether facts. " Tbo director did not bohovo this method would procure trustworthy results but thought that a member of tbo topographical surveying and gunglnpr corps should bo em ployed ns the only method by which good results could bo obtained and there upon the Investigation was placed in iho bands of persons who believed that sufficient results could bo obtaiuod by tbo cheaper method of getting the opinions of the farmers themselves. The guagtng without the topography graphy is insufficient and enormously ex pensive. The amount of water flowing in the stream does not represent tlio force with which it is thrown against Irrigation works , but only a part of it. The ether part is nhown by tbo declivities of the stream and the catchment area which regulator the rate at which waters are ntbored and tbo velocity at whlcn they flow. Tneso facts ro necessary In constructing dams and canals , as the experience of tha country proves , for without these facts there are thousands of examples In the country of irrigating works that have bean swept away and largo sums ot money have thereby been lost. S. Director Powell states further that as tbo secretary of agriculture has not investigated for further work such as that dcslrea by Ne braska , and as all concerned have practically abandoned tbo scheme , ho himself will mak'o estimates which will fully cover such work as that whhh it Is proposed to place in the bands of Prof. Hicks. nntnrs Uitmt liu | Cluilr. Senators Paddock and Mandurson worked the position of presiding ofllcor of the sonata to tholr mutual advantage this afternoon. General Manderson has been for. sotna time presiding ever the senate in the absence ol vlco President Morton , and early this after noon bo called Sauator Paddock to take the chair.

Representative Bryan wiu busy on tbo floor of the bousn today explaining uow his free coinage platform was repudiated br tbo democrats In Nebraska. Ho claims that the nutl-froo coinage delegates cheated in voting upon the question. "While 1 didn't ' keep tally of tbo vote my elf , " suid Mr. Bryan today , "it is but fair to say a numoer who dm insist that the amendments were carried by three or four majority and that tba secretory made some mistake In tbo count. Outside of the Omaha delegation free coinage had about 100 ma jority , even after souio of tbo country dele eatlocs had gone homo. The Omaha deloga lion , with 103 members , voted as a unit , thereby counting airaiiiat tree coluoxo , I believe that throe-fourths of the democratic party lu Nebraska , of the Independent party ad * largo number of the republican party , favor free coinage of silver.

The failure ot the banking house of Klorann & Arnold at Broken Bow is a case in point. This bank was placed In the hands of a ro- colvor soiiio tlmo ago and its affairs have been very nearly wound up. A short tlmo before the bank was placed in the hands of the receiver , Mr. Kloman , thi ) soulor partner , was appointed as an as signee for a bankrupt 11 rm in Broken Bow , and as such assignee gave bonds for the faithful performance of his duties. When It became known that the bank was In a shaky condition his bondsmen became alarmed and demanded of him some security to Indemnify them against possible loss In. tha event of his being uuablo to make a settlement as as- , sicnco. In order to secure thorn Kloman turned ever , according to the sworn statement' of Receiver Goodoll , col lateral to tba amount of about $3,000. This collateral was the property of the bank ing linn of Kloman & Arnold and when the allnlrs of the latter were placed In the hands of Receiver Goodoll the notes turned ever to tha bondsmen were not Included In tbo schedule of assets. Receiver Gooaell assorts that these notes and securities are still a part of the assets of the bank and ho has made aflldavlt to the effect that although bo has made formal demands upon the bonds men for the securities they hnvo failed and refused to turn them ever to him. This afternoon Chief Justice Maxwell of the supreme court issued an order requiring John G. Hnoborlo and John G. Haebor'o ' as trustee , C. A. Arnold , F. A. Weandor , E. A. Arnold , A. H.

Tbo town of Somerset , in Lincoln county , comes to tbo front again with a complaint to the Stata Board of Transportation , this tlmo against the express companies. Last week tbo board decided that the railroad company must receive all freight cousignod to parties in Somerset and deliver tbo snrao at that point. Now comes John M. McConnell with u torn plaint that express matter directed to hltn at Somerset is stopped at \vollfloot , the flrst station this sldo of Som erset. He asks the board to compel the ex press companies to deliver his express pack ages at Somerset. Secretary Dllworth re plied this mornlne to the effect that ever a year ago tbo board applied to tbo legislature for authority to regulate the express compa nies , but that the legislature neglected to enact any such law. Consequently , as the law now stands , the board can extend no ro llof to Mr. McConnell In this instance. Nebraska Children t the World's Fair. Mr. . Briggs , one of tbo lady members of tbo Nebraska World's Fair auxiliary , vlsitod the state house this forenoon to confer with State Superintendent Goudy in regard to the matter of raising funds for the proposed children's building at the vVorld's falf.

Mrs. liriges received every encouragement from Superintendent Goudy , who promised to recommend the matter to tbo schools of the state and do everything in his power to further the enterprise. It will not bo a dlfllcult matter to raise tbo amount m this maunor , as tuero are over ! ! 50X)0 ( ) children of school ago in Nebraska and ever 200,000 in actual attendance upon the schools. There is every reason to believe that tbo school children of Nebraska will bo credit ably represented in the children's building at Chicago. Summer Schools nt tlio University.

Every good thing ; has its host of imitations ; every genuine article its counterfeits. The imitators always choose the most valuable and popular article to counterfeit , so that when they claim their sham to be equal , or as good , or the same as "So-and-So's , " the public may depend upon it that "So-and-So's" article is the best of the kind. The sham proves the genuine merit of the thing- copies , and never has this been better illustrated than by the imitations of ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS. ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS are the standard of excellence the world over , and imitators in their cry that theirs is "as good as ALLCOCK'S , " are only emphasizing this fact and admitting " ALLCOCK'S " to be the acme of perfection , which it is their highest ambition to imitate. The difference between the genuine and these imitations , which copy only general appearance , is as wide as that between gold and copper.
