LINCOLN. Jan. 1 1. ( Special. ) The hotiae
today decided to permit the state to buy
postage stnitpa for the members , sat down
on n proposition for free dally nnd weekly
newspapers , had a photograph taken en
group nnd turned over to the committee on
privileges nnd elections the papers In the
Douglas county content cases. Twenty-five
now Iillla were Introduced.
Sodcnnan this morning moved that further
reading of the Journal bo dispensed with nnd
the motion prevailed by the necessary ma
jority. Hut Jenkins objected to this move ,
insisting that the verification of the previous
day's roll call , nnd other Items kept by the
clerk should bo mndo each morning follow
ing. Ho urged that ouch was the house rule
and Insisted on Its retention. Speaker Gaf-
fln said that It would require n two-thlrc'a
majority to suspend the rule. A vote wnu
taken on suspension : of this rule ; it received
but llfty-ono In the aulniiative. nnd the Jour
nal was read In full.
In the midst of the Journal reading the
secretary of the senate appeared and an
nounced that a committee of three had been
named by the senate to net with a similar
committee In the house cm Joint rules.
Two petitions with Ions lists of signers
from Hall county were rend by the clcik ,
asking that n sugar bounty appropriation be
made to pay the farmore the extra dollar
per ton for beets promised them by the
beet sugar manufacturcra. There was no
appropriation made at the last session of the
legislature , and although the atnto auditor
tHuetl warrants for the same , these have
not been negotiated. On account of this ,
while the law compelled the sugar manu
facturers to pay $5 per ton for beets they
have paid but ? 4 , retaining the extra $ i
contingent on the ndtlon of this legislature
In voting , or refusing to vote , for the ap
propriation. The petitions were referred to
the committee on wnyo and means.
Then there was a wrangle over the ques
tion of purchasing postage stamps for the
use of the members. Hillings of Keya I'aha
moved that the house purchase for each
member flvo L'-ccnt stamp * and flvo 1-ccnt
etamps dally. Jenkins opposed this motion.
Ho declared It an example of cxtinvagance.
The popocrats generally "favored this motion.
Even SoJctman spoke In favor of the stamps.
In the midst of a heated debate , Gaylord of
lUifTulo , moved the previous question , which

House placed tlio hnll of representatives at

means , to bo thrown open Tueoday evening
January 10. for n discussion of the merits
of the TransmlsaUslppl Exposition bill.
Sheldon moved that no bll ! . ? bo printed
until they had been examined by the com
mittee and reported favorably. A hot de
bate followed , and It was shown by Clark of
Lancaster that the success of this motion
would place the entire legislature In the
hands of committees , to the exclusion of the
members of the house. Mcl/eod moved to
indefinitely postpone consideration of thl ?
resolution , but Sheldon made a speech In
its behalf , and nn amendment to lay the

ried by a lar o majority , and all bllla will

for Mr. Corbett two years ago , after' having

been a strong republican , and the popocratlo

years ago and who has taken charge of the
stationery left over until the present sca-
nlon , turned over hla olllco to his successor ,
L. D. Stoncr , this afternoon and this even
ing left for his home In Casa county. Mr.
Wright fecld a peculiar satisfaction over
the record he has made. Generally In the
pest the legislature has managed to exhaujl
Its supplies ut the end of the session nni
leave the supply room as bare as the shelves
of Mother Hubbard'a historic cupboard.
This week , when the committee called upon
Mr. Wright to check up , It was taken
down to the supply room and shown a pile
of stationery ca big sa a furniture van.
Thcio were lead pencils by the cord , thlrty-

slon two years ago. There la enough tenet
not only furnish the present session all the
stationery It needs , but If properly used
there will bo enough for the sctalon two
years hence. The 'senate showed Its appre
ciation of Mr. Wright's record today by unan
imously adopting a resolution of thanks to
him nnd ex-Secretary of State Piper for
their watchful cars of state property.

"THE MORE YOU SAY THE LESS PEOPLE

Not
Puritanical
There is nothing puritanical about
this PURITAN. Puritanism has soft
ened with the centuries. The early Puri
tan the Puritan woman in American
history stands for all that is best in our home
life. It was she who gave the bent to our na
tional character , she who inspired ambition , and
toiled for education and the independence and
refinement of the home. There is no more
fitting name , then , for a woman's journal than
The Puritan of today is not restricted to New Eng
land , but is in every home where the virtues of the
old Puritan , now softened and modernized , char
acterize the home life. And it is to these women
these gentlewomen the modern Puritans
that this journal is dedicated. The PURITAN -
TAN can be had from your newsdealer.
Ask him for it. If he has sold his supply
lie can get you a copy , or you can get
it direct from the publisher.
