Committee H < ii } .
LINCOLN , March 17. ( Special. ) This
morning when the journal of yesterday was
read Rouse of Hall called atlenllon to Iho
fact that the sifting committee which was
selected yeftterdnywas elected by a vote ot
only llfly members.
Pollard of Cass raised the point of order
that the election of a sifting committee
was nn amendment of the rules and that
such n change could not bo made except
by majority vote ot all the members
elected.
Thompson ot Morrlck spoke on the ques
tion , explaining that the house had put
the matter of advancement of bills In the
hands of a commlltee , while the standing
rules provided that the bills should be
taken up In their regular order. The siftIng -
Ing committee resolution was clearly an
amendment to the rules and the vote on
the resolution did not carry by the re
quired majority.
Wheeler of Furnas and Sturgegs ot Doug
las spoke against the point of order.
The chair decided that the decision of
yesterday , whereby the resolution appoint
ing the sitting committee had been declared
adopted was not correct , as the resolution
should have received at least llfly-one
vote.
Sturgess of Douglas moved to appeal from
the decision of the chair and on roll call
the choir was overruled by a vote of f > l
to 45. The solid fusion force supported the
appeal and they were joined by Beverly ,
Burman , Burns , Oltmnr , Fisher and Olm-
sted. The absentees from the house were

35. Of the thirty-five voting to kill the bill

and Fisher. The bill was by I'ollard , and
provided amendments lo the course of pro
cedure ot the State Hoard of TrunBportatlon

Prince of Hall moved that II. R. 431 and
505 be made a ( pedal order for this after
noon. He elated that the motion was ; mada
on request of State Treasurer Meeervc.

that It was the privilege of the sifting com
mittee only to advance bills. The point
was sustained.

LINCOLN , March 17. ( Special. ) The
revenue cninmitlee of the senate has do-
cldcd to relieve Itself of the burden of con
sidering the revenue bills any further. At a
meeting of the committee today It was de
cided to report H. R. 137 , the Pollard revenue
bill , to the general file without recommenda
tion and with the further explanation that
the committee had not given the bill any
consideration whatever.
S. F. 210 , the Van Dusen revenue bill , will
also be reported for the general lllo with
out recommendation. This bill has been
considered at several meollngs of the com
mittee.
In commenting upon the reports lhal will

of the revenue committee said that It would
bo absolutely Impossible for the revenue
committee to give thu Pollard bill the

The Insurance committee held n meeting

H. R. 191. Captain Palmer and General Manager -
agor Steele of the Northwestern Mutual Llfo

protected themselves by getting that much
more premium. They thought a tax upon
lire Insurance premiums was all rl ht.
Mr Steele eald he endorsed the bill as a
whole , nnd thought It wan n splendid mean-
i lire , but ho believed < h.it the tax should
be levied upon the actual premiums paid
instead of the gross premium levied. The
way to arrive at that would bo to subatracl
the dividends returned to the policyholdcrs
from the gross premiums levied.
"Is it not the custom In most stales lo
tax Iho gross premiums ns this bill proposes
'
poses to do ? " asked Representative Weaver ,
i who was present nt the discussion upon his
j i bill.
I
j ' Mr. Stcclo admitted that ten stales taxed
the gross premiums , while four states taxed
the gross premiums less the dividends.
{ T o state , Illinois and New York. wcroi
j , quoted as Imposing no tax at all on Ilfo In-
j i suranco premiums. The rate of taxation In
the different states ranges from one-fourth
' of 1 per cent to 2'/4 ' per ccnl , Iho laltcr rate
toeing enforced in Iowa.
The Insurance representatives present nlso
asked to have section 40 stricken from the
'bill ' , saying It had never been enforced and
should nol encumber the new law , Section
10 Is the " "
"retaliatory" section , which pro-
vldcs lhat where olhcr states tax Nebraska
eoinpnules at a higher rate ihan Iho ono in
force here , this state shall receive the same
tax from companies chartered In that stnto
as our companies nro charged thero.
"That provision has been on our stnlulo
books more ihan twenty years , bill has
never boon enforced , " said Caplaln Palmer.
"Then why do yon desire U lo bo repealed ,
If It has not been enforced , " asked Chairman
Owens of the committee.
"Well , you are proposing a now insurance
law that will probably stand on our books
for the next twenty-five years , and all sur-
plusago shoulds bo omitted , " replied Mr.
Palmer.
"Tho retaliatory section hai only been
enforced once , and that within this last
year , " said Mr. Steele. "Tho Insurnnco dc-
partmcnt of this state held up our company
for $ C02. "
"It some other state should impose a
3 per cent tax on our companies , that sec
tion mould allow us to charge their com
panies doing business In our stale as much ,
would It not ? " asked Mr. Weaver.
They said it would , 'but ' that the Insur
ance commissioners of a number ot the
states had all agreed to endeavor to secure
the repeal of all retaliatory clauses.
The Insurance committee will meet again
Monday at 2 o'clock to consider this bill , and

LINCOLN' , March 17. ( Special. ) The
I legislative | Investigating committee cunvcncd
this morning at S.30 and Mr. Lluhly was
again ' called. Ho Bald that Simpson was
llrst ' encouraged to go out to examine com
panies ' with the Idea that ho might do good
work nnd thus dlsplnco Palm , who was be
ginning ' a wholesale holdup business , but
Simpson ! outdid Palm himself In thu holdup
business.
j Llchty contradicted the Simpson testl-
I mony . , which stated the hcadiiuarlers of the
Fort Wtiyiio Insurnnco company \\ero at
I ' Chicago. ' Llchty said the headquarters
were nt KortVayno nnd that It was only
the branch olllcc that was visited by Simp

The matter of collecting the reciprocal
taxes I from the Insurnncu companies was
brought ' up and Llchty told how the legis
lative1 : committee during the session of ISO"
had ' once talked of passing a resolution
of ' censure because section 33 of the Insurance
anco i law was not being enforced. Llchty
had ' later talked with Cornell and called
to ' his attention the fact that nearly $000.000
was ' duo from thu "Companies " , dating back
as far as 1S73. The amount duo for the
year 1S97 was about $25,000 and practically
the same for 1836 nnd IS'.Ci. lllght after
the conversation about collecting the taxes ,
Llchty said , Cornell consulted Deputy Prlco
and concluded that the law was not good
and refused to make any move toward the
collection.
Mehly UIICN Sumo Collecting.
Llchty then told how ho himself pro
ceeded to collect about $110,000 under bec-
tlon 33 during the fall of 1S9S while Cornell
was campaigning. The first talk ho had
with Cornell .about what ho had collected
was early In'lSflD , when ho called Deputy
Attorney General Oldham down to the of
fice to furnish an mgumont In favor of
the collection of the reciprocal fees and
taxes.
Llchty told of the mutual company at
Stromsburg , which had been referred to In
the letter published by the auditor. Wit
ness said the company was solvent and
had paid its fee long before the certlllcato
was Issued. Its statement had contained n
clerical error and this the witness liad
called attention to In his letter.
Llchty was asked why ho had not re
signed when ho found the office was being
run unlawfully.
Mo said ho had frequently during 1807
talked with his friends at Kalis City about
resigning.
"They told mo ttiat ( hero were four other
nichardson county men in the office and It
they were bound to break into the peniten
tiary as their predecessors had done it was
my duty to stay and keep them straight
If I could.
"I had given a $30,000 bond to do my
duty In the conduct of the Insurance de
partment and 1 concluded I would rather
stay until I was kicked out than to re
sign. "
Llchty hero called attention to how omc
newspapers had libeled him. Ttio Auburn
Herald had told a llbolous story about htm
and bo did not think It was inspired by
the editor. Some attorney or Insurance ex
aminer had probably written it.
"It was on editorial , was It not ? " asked
George W. Cornell of Auburn.
"That wouldn't prevent its being paid

The most positive proofs of the great virtues of Wine of
Cardui are furnished by women themselves. It is truly aston
ishing how they go about telling other sufferers of this great
vegetable Wine. To be restored to perfect health after a long
term of aches and pains is like being released from the grasp of
death itself. It is such a relief to be able to cure yourself at
home. Not only do you escape the humiliation of submitting to
local examinations by physicians , but you have no big doctor
bills to pay. And , best of all , Wine of Cardui does what you
want done IT CURES. It is a specific for falling of the womb ,
Icucorrhcea , ulccration and inflammation , J ckache , headache
and all other forms of trouble , - <
peculiar to women. It reaches "OIES ; mom DEPARTMENT.
