the senate met this morning Canaday ot
Kearney offered a molten that S. F.I , IS-'i ,
221 , 223 , SIC , 227 , 228 and 203 be Indefinitely
postponed. In support of his motion he
uald that since this Is to he n short busi
ness smalon hn was willing to get theao
ihllls out ot the way , all 'being ' measures
Introduced iby himself. His motion pro-
vailed.
S. F. 4 was a concurrent resolution en
dorsing the Cullom bill In congress extend
ing tlio powers of the Inleratnto Commerce
commission. S. F. 1SH provided a "library
day" In the public schools. S. F. 224 pro
vided that the question of abolishing town
ship tax collectors might bo submitted to
the electors of a township upon their peti
tion. S. F. 223 , 22fi and 228 amended cer
tain sections of the civil code. S. F. 227
related to appointing clerks ot the district
court when counties reached the population
of 8,000 or more , nt other times than , thc
general elections for clerks cf the dlstrht
court. S. F. 2C3 sought to establish county
historical societies.
Schaal of Sarpy offered a motion that
senate rule 17 bo enforced regarding com
mittee reports within four days after bills
reach the committee. The rule referred teas
> as follows :
Every 1)111 and resolution referred to any
special or standing committee shall bo re
ported 16 the senate by such commltteu
within foiir days , after such reference , un
less further 'rtlne'w specially granted by the
sennl'ciJ'V'V # ; % . " ; " .1 , '
Many of thc' senators 'said that reports
upon bills were often withheld upon request
of the Introducer , In order that more care
ful consideration bo given , or amendments
perfected. As long as there was no attempt
ti > strcngle bills these members believed In
srnio1 elasticity. Whenever n member finds
the committee is trying to kill a bill by
withholding'the report , the Introducer could
get relief by demanding the enforcement of
the bill ,
Q\vcn of Dawson moved lo amend that
committees be excused for their failure to
repcrt , when the same Is held by request of
the latreducer. Iloth the amendment and
thB motion were defeated.
Senator Schaal then moved that rule -17
bo rescinded. On motion of Van Dusen of
Douglas this motion was tabled.

LINCOLN , 'March ID. ( Special. ) The

submitted Its report to tlio house on the
condition of state Institutions which have

IUFM uiloiis. viz. : The Dent and Dumb In-
R Itiito at Omaha , the l.isnno asylum , the
"into penitentiary and the stnto capital , un
der whoso dome wo have sworn to fulfill the
duties of our offices.
At ths Deaf and Dumb Institute I found
tnree boilers In the snmo ruuin , two ot which
arc low pressure , used for heating purposes ,
although they should bo In the scrap pile.
' "in " tiiird was a high pressure boiler used
for power purposes , carrying at least eighty
iinumls of steam. 'July inferior iloorlng
separates these boilers from recitation
' > ms directly above where
, elghty-livo pu-
mis assemble dally. ( Sen Superintendent's
Report , page -IDS. ) I would respectfully sug
gest that a Biilllclent appropriation bo made
to Imlia a new holler house outside of this
iinlldlnir. for In Us present condition it Is
- criminal negligence on the part ot the
state to endanger the lives of so many chll-
< ii-e.n. As 1 have not gone Into detail , there
are other necessities not mentioned herein.
In reference to the Insane asylum In the
suburban part of Lincoln , I llnd it In n very
crowded condition. There should he a mifll-
cient appropriation rr..ido to enable the en
largement und furnishing of the building to
suoh n capacity us will meet the demands
of the present and Increasing population of
the state.
Under date of Mnrch 7 a committee con
sisting of members from the house and seu-
nto paid n visit to the state penitentiary.
While much can bo said In reference to the
low land and the locality in which these
buildings are located , there Is nothing that
' an be nald that would In nny way reflect
ttnon the management of that Institution.
TK ! ono thing that Impressed me more than
any other was the sanitary condition and
the poor system i > t ventilation , which can
and should bo remedied. In looking through
the rolls , where 2S ! or more convicts are
confined , I failed to find any closets.
I'uor VeiKIliillon nl Penitentiary.
The ventilation system now In use con
sists of small branch pipes leading from the
cages to the main shaft , which extends to
the roof. If the current ot nlr is strong
enough to create u suction It will partially
draw the foul air from the cells through
these air shafts ; if not , the impurities re
main within the building , thus rendering
It injurious to the health of those within Its
walls.
Under date of March 7 the joint commit
tee of public lands and buildings of the
senate and house-made n careful Inspection
nf the State Capitol building and surround
ings. I would respectfully call the attention
of the members of this house to the neg
lected nnpearance of the grounds and the
dilapidated condition of the stone walks and
Rtens leading to and from all parts of the
building.
Referring to the Interior of the- building ,
I would , first call.yoiir attention jtD'tho stone
work. You will find In many places large
noonings , imd gaps whqro heavy , rains and
snow findready , access to the Interior , thus
cousins Uio walls In many places to bo
furred out of line , anil the same will apply
to the dome. There are places In the stone
capping nnd ornamental work above the ga
bles where the mortar has fallen out and
some nf the pillars or blocks are in a loose
and unsafe condition , liable at any time to
e.omo crashing down and causing much de
struction In their course. The tin guttering
that surrounds the roof proper to carry nway
the water has rusted out , permitting the
rilnago to enter the building Immediately
over the upper oillco floors nnd hallways ,
enuslnc the plaster to fall , and the destruc
tion of carpets and furniture within its
reach. The senate chamber is not exempt
from criticism. If my fellow members will
cast their eyes to thu ceiling of this cham
ber they will see without leaving their seats
the truth of my statement.
Tim woodwork of the outside doors lead-
intr Into the building ; also the window
frames and sashes , are greatly In need of
attention , as appearances Indicate want of
paint and filling. Upon entering the build
ing from nny side , elUior from want of suffi
cient help or neglect of those In charge , the
tiling nnd steps -present anything but an In
viting appearance , as Nebraska soil IB well
represented in the corners and on the door
mats. Permit mo to say that the ventilation
and pnnitary condition of this building can
bo greatly Improved. Artificial light would
I'reatlv Improve the dark recesses ot the
main halls where the sun's rays cannot pen-
olrate.
Your committee is of the opinion , and
would respectfully recommend , that a suffi
cient appropriation bo made for the neces-
K.irv repairs which may bo deemed expedi
ent , as nothing contributes BO largely to a
rltv. or state , as Its well kept public build
ings. _ _

LINCOLN , March 15. ( Special. ) Just
prior lo the adjournment of the senate at
noon today Senator Van Dusen was recog
nized by the chair. lie said :
" .Mr. President : I rise to a question of
privilege , and ask that the following edi
torial squib In The Omaha Morning IJeo of
March 15 bo read by the secretary. "
The senator from Douglas-then sent to
the secretary's desk a copy of this morn-
Ing's Ileo , with the following editorial
marked :
"If Senator Van Duson wants to represent
the corporation lobby in trying to sidetrack
revenue legislation , let him do so openly and
above board. "
At the conclusion of the reading of the
editorial by the secretary Senator Van
Uusen made the following statement :
Mr. President , I brand the Innuendo con-
[ lined In that editorial an absolutely falsa.
Kvory senator on the door knows that 1 have
neither talked to him about , or attempted ,
to inllncnrn him In reference lo his vote on
the revenue bill luioun as II. H. 137. Kvory
member of thu senate revenue committee
knows that I havu earnestly sought to liavo
S. F. UIO , bring a revenue measure Intro- i
dueed by myself In this body , reported for |
passage and that the only reason that tha j
same has not been reported has beim be- ,
caiiHe the chairman of that enminitteii hus
had almost his entire time taken up on the
Investigating committee and hccauso It hus
been , owing to thu members of the commit
tee being otherwise engaged , almost Ii ipos-
slble for a committee meeting to bo had.
I say hero and now , that 1 um for revenue
revision ; that no corporation can , or 1ms , at
tempted to influence-my action In that re
cord. My vote hero U nolthor controlled by ,
the corporations nor the newspapers , but
only by what I believe to bo right or wrong.
He called upon Chairman Prout of the
revenue committee , also Senators Canaday
and lleynolds , who are members of the com- |
mlttPc , to substantiate his HUitemciu.
Senator Prout Mated that Senator Van
Onsen had repeatedly urged the considera
tion of S. F. 2JO , and had been very dill- ,
ggnt In cnauuvorliiB to tsecura favorable
aotii.il upon it. Ho mid that owing to many
pressing matters.especially the Investigat
ing committee , the committee had found It
dlltlcult to gut together far the purpose of
considering ihcse , bills , but throe meetings
had 'been ' given over to considering S. V.
210 , and thai the committee Intended to
rprt onn way nr another upon the till ,
n'thciieh en yet ho could not prcdl.-t which
way they would decide. In concluding , ho
said that so far ns Mr. Van Iitwen Is concerned -
corned , there was no ground for the In
nuendo contained In the newspaper cnll-
tnrlnl , Senators Reynolds nnd CannJay snld
Mr. Van Dusen had been diligent , honest
nnd hardworking In Ijehnlf of S. F. 210.
On motion of Senator Prout the editorial ,
together with Senator Van Duseli's reply In
relation thereto , were ordered spread upon
the Journal.

LINCOLN , March 15. ( Special. ) Gov
ernor Pcyntcr has written a letter to the
govetnorn of all the states tributary to the
transmlssleslppl region regarding the
( Jrentcr America Exposition that Is to ho
held In Omaha thla summer , In which the
advantages of the coming exposition arc
fully sot forth , and n cordial Invitation Is
extended for sister states to share Its suc
cess. The letter Is as follows :
Dear Sir : Permit mo to call your atten
tion and through you the attention of the
nrocresslvo people of your stnto to the
Oreater America Exposition , which will be
hold at Omaha from July 1 to November 1
of this year. This management commences
with all of the buildings and plant of the
Trnnsmlsalsslppl and International ISxposi-
llon association , valued at nearly $2,000.000 ,
and being backed by Ihc most Influential and
moneyed men ot Omaha , the success of the
exposition this summer has passed the
doubtful stage nnd Is now nn assured fact.
The buildings will all be repainted and the
grounds remodeled and beautified nt an expense -
penso of nbout ? 100,000. Live exhibits will
be made n special feature. Many have al
ready been secured and others are being
eontiacted for from day to dav. Free space
will be granted for slate exhibits.
Extraordinary efforts are being put forth
to secure a complete exhibit of the resources
of all the states. Ono of the principal nnrt
at the same tlmo Interesting features of Iho
new enterprise will bo to place before vis
itors nt the exposition ns complete nn ex
hibit from the Islands of the Atlantic nnd
Pacific nt which detachments of the United
States army nro now stationed ns It Is pos
sible to obtain.Vlth this object In view
the new exposition company has already
sent a commission to the Philippines , as well
as to Cuba and Porto Hlco , regardless of ex
pense , with Instructions to gather Informa
tion and exhibits showing the resources of
these countries , and the manner , custom ,
status of civilization , etc. , ot the people In
habiting them.
The participation In the exposition by the
various states will not only bo benefited as
an advertisement of their resources , but will
undoubtedly tend to bind closer together the
friendly ties of commercial relations now-
existing between them.
I sincerely trust that your slate will see
lit to take early action looking toward a
pavJIclpatlon In this exposition , nnd tnko
the liberty of urging yon to take such steps
ns in your Judgment will best Interest your
citizens In the undertaking. Nebraska
stands ready to royally welcome all who
may visit us this summer , and I beg to ex
press the hope that your state will be among
those represented at the exposition. Very
respectfully yours , W. A. POYNTI3R ,
Governor.

AYitltliiK for It.
FREMONT , Neb. , March 15. ( Special. )
As the day draws near for the opening of
The Bee wheel contest at Fremont the In
terest of Hio yming people grows. The
way of getting auy high , grade wheel on
the market Is so simple that a large num
ber will bo entprcdo The probability Is that
the winner will * -nJ > [ . need many , orders , DO-
cause ns .soairSs Ii50 orders are In tiio
wheel will bci awarded.
Some of the people of' Fremont may still
wish to know about how the contest is to
be conducted. The Dee wants a lot of new
subscribers. As scon ns 250 orders have
been handed Into our office the contest
closes nnd we will award the wheel to the
cno bringing the most orders.
Just see how easy this Is. . Say only twen-
ty-flvo girls nnd boys start out on March
18 lo get subscribers. They only have to
average ten apiece to make the total , so
the winner will not have to get very many
orders , you see. You want to start In early
and hand In your orders as soon as possible.
Now about the orders. Each order must
be for an actual new subscriber. Kach sub
scriber must take The Dee for nt least ono
month and pay for It In order to be counted.
It Is bettor , but not necessary , to pay In
advance , only no order will be counted until
the subscription Is paid for. It the sub
scription Is paid for In advance It will
count one on your score for each month for
which It Is prepaid. For example : If a sub
scriber pays In advance for three months , It
counts 3 ; if ho pays for six months , It will
count C ; and wo make the special offer that
If ho pays for ono year , It will count 20. On
orders which are not i > ald In advance It
will count only ono on youV score , no mat
ter how long ho continues to take It.
There , that Is plain Isn't it ? Now see
what you can do. The first contest begins
March IS.

the medUal profcss.on are wand ring why
no one lm ever ihniiKht of It before. For
years they have been trying to cure this
disease with a combination of renuulltn
given nl onoe. Hvcry manufacturer of dys-
pep-la cured has followed their lead , and ,
although ; hey till know licit their are three
distinct kinds of dysi > p-Ou. each entirely
Clflorent from the other , and that the
remedy for ono completely counteracts the
effect of the- Other , them has ben no ut-

Instead a conglomeration of dings have been

rtomneh digest the fjod wliwi It has been
absolutely proved that what wo eat Is not
digested by the stomach at nil ; this organ
only prepares the food for indention by the
bowels. Th e two great errors In treat-
mi'iit are certainly enough to account Cot *
the past failure of dy-pepslu cures , but
there Is yet another , which In Itself would

havu been destroyed. Horetofori1 nothing hus
ever been discovered which would do till *

the physicians huve been hclple n : their
only treatment being physic , by which they
hoped to get rid of IIP least a portion of
thine KiTiim. It was evld ntly a hopclcst
