FlllTZ LOSHS A FICHIT.
When the bills Introduced yesterday wen
reached for a second reading , Mr Hanson
led ort In a contest which hen been brewlnf
for several da > a. When Senate flic No. SO
by Mr , Orothan of Howard , icgulatlng stock
yards , was read the second time Mr Hanson
moved that It bo referred to the commlttct
on miscellaneous corporation.1 ? . The motlor
was seconded by Mr. 1'iltz of Thurston.
The motion provoked the most anlmatct
debate soj far Ihla session Mr. Mutpopu
Hit of Kcja 1'aha , opposed It. IIo quotct
from parliamentary law to the effect tha
the author of nny bill had a right to have
It referred to n friendly tommlttce.
Mr. llcal , populUt of Cuator. called the at
tcntlon of the senate to the fact that marl ]
100 bills had been refcricd to committees bj
the lieutenant governor and that no one lint
rained an objection.
.Mr. Hansom defended bh motion In ar
elaborate argument. He contended that al
bills , according to the constitution of Nc
brasUn , should be referred lo an approprlati
committee Hte Insisted that a Mil to rrgu
late stockyards should appropriately be re
fcrred only to the committee on mlacellane
ous corporation , and that to refer U to anj
other committee xvca a icllcctlon upon tin
senate.
Mr. Grothan , populist of Howard , did not
ngreo with the senator from Douglas. He
said that It had been the custom for the
lieutenant governor , as the presiding otllcer
of the senate , to refer all hills to standing
committees Two stock jarils bills bad al
ready betn Introduced and refcired lo tbn
committee on agriculture , and no protest
had been entered.
Mr. Gondrlng of Platte moved to table
Hansom's resolution. Mr. Graham was willIng -
Ing , ho said , to rely upon the Judgment of
the presiding officer. Mr. Gonway agreed.
Jlr. Murphy argued that there was not nec
essarily a clOEe relationship between a Uock
jard.s bill and the committee on miscella
neous coiporallons lie contended that the
agrlcultmat Interests of the state wcro as
much Interested In the bill to regulate the
stock jards as were the trcmbcrs of the com
mittee on miscellaneous corporation" .
Mr Fcltr of ICelth tried to stem thu tide
of opposition to Kinsom'a motion by arguing
that the majority In the senate was only
following the precedents long since es
tablished by the republicans , llo thought
the republican opposition to the Hansom
motion , came v. 1th very poor grnca ,
The > qas and najs'wrro called on Mr.

on cialu tales of the opening of a new nort

said :
"Hero Is the pointer In regard to the futur
of the rate matter. You know the Mloslt

not take very long for the New Yorkers t
catch on , nnd the eastern railroads will nebo
bo a bit slower to catch on , cither ; when the ;
do they will simply have to make rates to th
west to suit the clicumstanccs.
"It has been on this lopothcsls that tin
railroad men hereabouts , when not talUni

MENTAL EFFECTS.
A Ilcnllim TfH < for ( hi ? Mlllil.
There arc a number of commcndiblo tlilnga
taught by so-called mind healers For In
stance , "Mind Is the real being the real
man , which moves the arms , leys , eyes , etc ,
as machines which do Hi will "
Ucdy U made up entirely of what comqs.
from the ground nnd air. A peculiar com
pound of earth nnl water , dcllcatel > and
moit deftly arranged , lo bo sure , but slmpltt
earth and water nevertheless , without any
force , Intelligence or motion In It , except CH
It Is acted upon by the living mind
Thcro seems to bo two minds lo each body ,
or two selves , ono which runs the so-called
automatic momheio stomach heart , bowels ,
etc. , etc , and the other which conducts the
movements of the outer members arms , etc
It Is a curious ps > cholcglcal fact that when
ann 11 slightly ailing a now linu of thought
will quickly affect the body favorabl ) and
particularly If that mental trcnil run some
what as follows "I am not body"
"My real self Is unseen and la Mind or
Spirit which Is tin1 same as Life. Ilody
being dead matcilal cannot complain to mo
except as I scnsltl/o It ami permit the com
plaints " If a poison can bring himself to
thoroughly bcllevo thta without a a'aadow of
doubt a most cuilous and healing effect In
quickly felt In the body.
JIany people have not a well enough train
ed mind to command Just whit It Bhull or
filial ! not do. but where thn mind [ 3 well In
hand , so to speak the result of such mental
oxciclsc Is marked and cannot bo forgotten
Wo write the above knowing that It will
i each the oyr of some honest searthcr after
some of the now laws which are lately com
ing to be known of man , and to aay that
vvhlle on the subject of healthful living i
