The minority of twenty- four buzzed ali fluttered through all shapes ot parliamentary phantasmagorl , and finally rorced nothing an adjournment , having accomplished Under Roberts' rule no motion can be entertained - tertained during 1 cal of the house except that at ae\ourment.

LOCATING RAILWAY OFFICES.

This specmel [ of anti : - railway legislation Is drafted , I Is boldly : claimed. for lee purpose of pulling the Bur " Ington offices out of Omaha" It Is eat ml that the measure would also force the Missouri I- noun Pacific , the Elthor and the Roc k.e . Island to open general offices for the state , In Lincoln. The Union Pacific sa\s ( ( eel I from the provisions of this drastic meaure only because It happens to be In the hands o'f the federal court. As I booster for this bIll It Is claimed that some years ago Kansas I- see enacted I similar law and compeled roads In that state to remove their genera ml offices to Topeka. . Governor 10icomb today transmitted to the house a message incorporating the report t- port of Delegate L1mbor of the house to the Russian hustle convention at St. I'aul I. Minn. In the message he expressed the wish that t'ne legislature would carefuly , weigh the suggestions of Hepresentatve Iamborn , and do all that could be done In i the way of exterminatng the lbSt. The ppulsts In the house are still In the posiUori to give time majority a good screen on time general spproprlaton bill. Some of them say that ( this majority Is responsIble for the introductIon and passage of these hills. But two days remain when they can be Introduced wihout intervention of the governor. The house Is now In a deadlock over senate file No. 259. by Watson , prm a- viding tar trial of the alleged murderers of Barrett Scott outside ot Holt county I Is thought that the minority can keep It In this condItion till they Ire In a posItion to dim S.- , ' tate terms. The terms which they say they Ire willIng to offer Is recommitment saa m time bill to Limo committee of the whole for debate Besides , there are quite a number at the majority who have bills In which they are personally Interested , and which they want to Introduce.

Dr. Ilolmib was applautel1 as he stepped to the front. With n gaceful bOlv hc ac- kn owhedged / the ( - ovation and at encl commenced - menced his lecture on "The heart 0/ / Africa. " Near the speaker was . a black- board , upon wblch was quickly sketched a map of the "black lands , " showing the Vdo ctor's line or exploration frcm CalJetown 'to the Zambezi river , In < lcalnl the tribal colonies of tide Vlafrs , 1a Huts , Tlepuls , 1a Shhulumbo Vungono , Dechuanos , Rottenil : tots , Zulus , Ma-Atables and a few way sta- tions with "vestibuled" tte In African vernacular.

PLOW lAS HELPED WmIAN. . In discussing the peculiar Idea at woman- hood entertained br the masculine gentler masculne gnder of some tribes lie said that many of the Africans were cnly too glad to dispose of their daughtlrs for their equivalent In oxen or ca ttie. The women would not be considered b eautiful . judged from our standard but the ) ' are much better looking than some eC the other tribes , and would be less repuls'vc If It were not for a kind ot u snuff spoon which they use I broadens and flattens time nose and dlsngures the face. Within recent years woman's condition has ben somewhal Improved - proved In one or two ot the tribes. ThIs has been brought about by the Introductcn of plowa by the m'ssonarles. ' ! 'omen are not allowed to use them , because they are not permitted to touch a domestic animal , and consequently the cullvatcn of the land Ievolves upon the men Women , there- tore , now have less or the field labor than tormerly. Referring to other tribal characteristics , D r. Holub said that the Dasuta and Beche ana make viaGes They reside along the Shoshon river , having villages In the valley. In time center of each village L the cattle pen 01 kutla. Around the kuta are the klng's palaces , and In the outer circles are arcS the houses of time chiefs ot the tribes . whosl habitatons h are arranged In the same order : wIth the pens In the center , but on a smaller s cale. The kuta are used In the day time a s a forum where time icing and him chiefs de- 'termlne t nil matters pertaining to the nation. S naton. In order to summon the chiefs to delbera- ton the jllg orders his servants early In the morning of the Intended day to throw branches of the mimosa tree Into the kuta : , of the chiefs. , Among , the Zulus each regiment has a town t of It I own. The cattle pen is [ placed I on the crest of a hill around which are i place the barracks of the soldiers In one or more circles The Ma Rule tribe live In South Central t 'Atrlca and among al the Ba-N'Thu natons are the cleverest and mot Industrlons. Here women enjoy a better position than among other tribes. Time Ma-Rutso does not el i bls h daughter to another man unless she Is willing , and women have even been known t o reach the dignity ot sovereignty and I 'rule over tle people In place or kings , Even where they are compelled to work they are slowed slaves from women or the other tribes. ThEIR UNSEEN GOD. The Ma-Rutse are the only natives who believe I an al-pwerl , unseel God . Thi spreme being whose name they hold to t sacred to even pronounce Is known to tbem as N'ambe They say he lives In the blue sky ( Mo Chorlmo ) ad they respect and fear him. In times of disaster , when d anger threatens them and they feel cuse for alarm , they congregate upon the grave a of some' br their great chiefs and Implore them to intercede for them. They beleve thai their treat chiefs' aprls ! go to dwel 1a 1 with the wonderful god , and they look to these spirits for help and protection. Thee graves they often adorn with Ivory , ee- pliant tusks , anti other things which seem < to their fancy ornamental This tribe has a peculiar civilization of Is : own , differing In many respects from any : otber but In nona mare than In their weapons ot attack and detense. Most Svage people are content with one or two dlrerent kinds ct arms , but the Ma-Hutse have twelve -ne for fighting with men at a distance , another for close range , a third for elephant huntng l , a barbed spear to kill one animal , another for some different kind. One of the most Ingenious ot their tools Is a hoolt fastened by several strings to a bunch of reeds. This /1 / saId to be one of the most unique as well aD the mast effective way to catch and kill crocodiles that has ever been Invent - vent ! .
