LINCOLN. March 2 (Spoets.1.) Tbe sen
ate held & session this morning teplete
with cutting una sarcastic speeches, in
which personalities were freely exchanged.
The discussion, which lusted from the time
the senate evntened at t o'olosk until the
hour arrived lor proceeding to the bouse
lor the purpose of voting lor United States
senator, was the result of a motion by Sen
ator Martin to nonconcur in the report of
the judiciary committee, of which he Is
acting chairman, on one of his own hills,
which had been reported for indefinite post
ponement. The bill wus one fixing a salary for the
clerk of the supreme court and providing
for all fees heretofore paid to the clerk
and pocketed by him, be paid into the state
treusury. When the bill was considered by
the Judiciary committee only four of the
members were present, two of whom
wanted the bill postponed, whereupon the
author submitted to a report of Ibis kind
being made, thinking that the senate would
stand by him In his motion to non-concur
and that the .bill by a vote of the senate
would be placed on general file.
In the discussion Senator Martin made
an eloquent plea In behalf of his measure.
"The necessity of such a bill Is appar
ent," said the senator from Richardson,
"and I trust that this will not be made a
politics 1 me&Rure. Eery senator on this
floor knows that the clerk of the supreme
court Jr. receiving too much money, and the
fees which will be paid Into thlc office dur
ing the life of the commission created by
this legislature will be something enormous.
1 do not think It will fall below $20,000 per
j car, and the clerk himself has admitted
that they 'might run us high as 112,000." "
Senator Owens said the bill was a good
one. and he hoped to see it placed on gen
eral file.
Mir t'i tlir Piitloulntk.
"There Is no doubt this bill should be
placed on general file.," said Senator
Oleson of Cuming, "and I am anxious to
sec If the f unionists who hare been voting
as a body to override committee reports
by placing measures reported for postpone
ment on the general file, will do so in this
case, where a member of their own party
is concerned. It will give tbem an oppor
tunity to go on record cither for or against
such legislation."
Senator Miller denied that the fusion
'members were standing together for the
purpose of overriding the reports of com
mittees and cited lnstanres where his own
bills hud been turned down by the com
mittee without any protest from himself
or any other fusion member.
Senators Young and Allen were of the
opinion that there was merit in the meas
ure and that it should go to the general
Ale
The only republican member who op
posed the bill on the floor was. Senator
Crounse. He held the position of clerk of
the supreme court once, and he did not
believe In reducing the salary, "It Is true,"
he said, "that the creation of a supreme
court commission will make the fees heavy
for a couple of years, but we should legis
late for all time to come and not to meet
temporarj obstacles."
Senator Crounse moved that the bill be
sent back to the committee, but this was
objected to by the supporters of the meus
ttro on the ground that such action at this
late day would so delay the bill as to de
feat it altogether.
Senator Ransom, leader of the faction op
posed to the hill. Intimated that the re
publicans had introduced this measure
simply because a member of the fusion
party was holding the office.
Itlne In Point of Ordrr,
"This tirade by the member from Doug
las is out of order." said Senator Owens.
"It Is no tirade." retorted Ransom, "and
If the senator from Dawson Is so thick
headed and dull that he cannot under
stand my remarks he bad better sit down."
Senator Owens wns on his feet in an in
stant. "I appeal to the president for protection
from such language and IT the president
end senate do not see fit to give me this
protection. 1 feel that 1 am .fully able to
protect myself. I have been among row
dies before and know how to do It."
Senator Ransom took exception to being
termed a rowdy and asked that the secretary
make a record of the gentleman's remarks,
stating that h Intended bringing htm up
for such language. The objectionable re
marks of both members were placed on the
record as roon as order had been restored.
Senator Currle spoke in favor of the
bill, and to show that it was not a parti
san measure be produced a bill for a simi
lar purpose which had been introduced in
the house two 'years ago. when the clerk of
the supreme court wus Mr. Campbell, a re
publican. The record of the bill showed
that it had passed the bouse, which had a
republican majority, aud had lipen recom
mended for passage in the senate, but it
had met the fate of many other good meas
ures which reach the senate late in the
session and had been crowded out In the
ruth. If such n bill was considered a good
tine at that time there were many more
reasons why It should be considered so
now, right on the eve of the appointment
of a commission which would bring the
total of fees up to several times what they
are at present
Senator Martin again took the floor and.
Getting Better?

after speaking a some length upon the
bill, be inferred by the remarks of
Senators Ransom and Crounie that tbey
had Intended In senatorial language to call
bits a liar At least tbey had stated that
they did not believe whr.t he had said.
At this iKritrt Senator Martin turned to
Clerk Lee Herdman. who had entered the
senate chamber, and asked btm If he had
not. in answer te a question, said that he
thought the fees for the next two years
would amount to $12,000 per year.
"No. rlr. I never said that." said Mr.
Herdman.
Order the floor Cleared.
However, before Senator Martin could ask
him to explain, the president ordered the
inrgeunt-ut-arnis to clear the Door of all
except members, and the excited legislators
who had crowded around the speakers were
ordered off the floor.
Later, out In the ball. Mr. Herdman ex
plained to Senator Martin that when he said
the fees would amount to til. 000, he meant
for the two years that the commission
would be at work.
The debate was kept up until tbe hour ar
rived for proceeding to the house to vote
for United States senators, and when the
members returned an adjournment was
taken until Monday without any action hav
ing been taken on the matter under dis
cussion. The bill which brought forth the most
animated discussion of the present session
is one Introduced by Senator Martin, Its
provisions being as follows.
Section 1 That the clerk and reporter of
the supreme court shall collect, account
for and pay into the state treasury all fees,
costs und emoluments that.now are or here

REIMBURSE LINCOLN CHURCH
Home Tnkra Fnioralile Aetlon on Kill
to l'n for Mir of iirrman
Eiancrlieal Ilulldiiiit.
LINCOLN, March. (Special.) In com
mittee of the whole the house this after
noon took favorable action on a bill in
troduced by Warner ol Lancaster to re
imburse the German Evangelical church
of this city for money expended for its
church building site. Tbe measure pro
vides for an appropriation of $500, with
interest for fifteen years, tbe principal
representing the amount that was paid
by tbe church for Its building lot at Four
teenth and G streets.
Representative Warner found cause for
tbe introduction of this bill in a law that
was enacted In 1KC9, when the state cap
Itol was removed from Omaha to Lincoln
This law provided for the donation of land
tor church buildings in Lincoln to any
church or religious organization that would
hold regular services every Sabbath day.
The land occupied by all of tbe churches
In tbe central portion of the city was do
nated by the state uuder Ibis act, which
in later years was repealed. Tbe German
Evangelical church paid for its land in
and. following the example of other
churches, it asked the state to reimburse
it for tbe money expended.
In committee of tbe whole the following
measures were recommended for passage.
Senate file 116, by Pitney, to prevent tbe
spread of contagious diseases house roll
ICC, by Fuller, to exempt from taxation
f'Bly property belonging to lh'orporated
religious organisations bouse roll 216. by
Warner, for relief of the German Evan
gelical church; bouse roll 200, by Vande
grlft. for relief of Sherman county lor
tlSO expended for care and treatment of
smallpex patients, house roll 247. by Har
ris, and senate file 371. by Miller, to au
thorize the State Dairymen's association
te name date of its annual meeting, house
roll 27S. by Fowler, relating to qualifica
tions of sfhool teachers.
A bill introduced by Speaker Sears, to
require e flag on every school house on all
legal holidays, was indefinitely postponed,
federal members objected to the measure
on the ground that it was placing an tin
necessary burden on the schools.
On recommendation of standing commit
tees the following bills were placed on gen
eral file for consideration in committee of
the whole: House rolls SIS. by Walker, to
define und license merchants doing business
in Nebraska, for the filing of an annual
statement and bond for payment of taxes;
407. by rullcr, relating to salaries for offi
cers of Industrial home at Mllford, and
150, by Spencer, to confer upon cities and
villages power to fix and regulate tele
phone rents.
At 6 o'clock the house adjourned to 11
o'clock Monday morning.
MAY DEFEAT THE NORMALS
Ilnrnlnc of Penitentiary Canaea Alarm
lor I'lltr of the Scliool
Appropriation.
LINCOLN. March 2. (Special.) The de
struction of the penitentiary by fire and
the largely increased appropriations which
Its rebuilding will necessitate discourages
some of the enthusiastic "normalites" who
have been working hard for the passage of
a bill making appropriations for two addi
tional normal schools.
"We have not git en up the fight by any
means," said one of the more enthusiastic
members, "but we are afraid that the
changed conditions brought about by the
burning of the penitentiary will have an
effect on some of the senators who were
lndlflerent as to tbe normal school bill, but
on whom we were figuring to help us out
by their votes. If not by their active sup
port. We do not think this unfortunate
occurrence bhould defeat the object of our
bill and we shall continue to labor in its
i behalf until It either becomes a law or Is
i defeated."
i Ou the other hand, a member whose at
I titude on the question of normal schools
I Is well known expressed the opinion that
! the bill was as good us defeated.
"We had them beat to start with," he
said, "and now, since a heavy appropriation
j will necessarily have to be made for new
j buildings und repairs at the prison. I do I
) not think the senate will burden the state 1
j with any additional normal schools. There ,
I Is no doubt but the same bell which gave !
out tbe alarm of the prison fire sounded
i the death knell of tbe normal school hill, I
I if it cter had any chance for passage."

WASHINGTON, March 2. (Special Tele
gram.) Nebraska tonight is receiving re
newed praise for the splendid victory which
the republicans won against great odds
last Novcmter by reason of the presence of
Governor Dietrich and staff in the inau
gural city. TEe Pennsyvanla railroad, not
withstanding the tremendous travel' to
Washington, delivered the special car of
the Nebraska contingent on a sidetrack
but little out of schedule time A large
contingent of the Nebratka Republican
assoclatlou was In waiting when the sec
tion of the Pennsylvania train carrying
Governor Dietrich and staff arrived at the
station. Unlike the case of Governor Odell
of New York, who was missed by his es
cort, the Nebraskans were on the alert for
some such slip, and they worked tbe wires
until tbe train bearing Governor Dietrich
was located.
Carriage had been provided for the party
and one or two automobiles were preswd
into set vice for the benefit of those who baa
never enjojed a ride on these modern vehi
cles, and. escorted by fifty men of the Ne
braska Republican association, the proces
sion moved up Pennsylvania avenue viewed
by thousands In honor of Nebraska.
Tbe rooms of tbe gubernatorial party
were handsomely decorated and It looked
for all the world like a section of the Ante
lope state set down in tbe heart of the
cupital city of the nation when Governor
Dietrich and his staff met the resjdent Ne
braskans in the lobby of Washington's
swdl hotel.
Following the arrival of tbe distinguished
party, luncheon was scried in tbe main
room of the hotel, covers being laid for
thirty guests. During the course of the
luncheon Governor Dietrich noticed Gen
eral Dan Sickles sitting at a small table
In the cafe and at once proposed his health,
to which the famous democrat who could
not Join Mr. Bryan In his philosophy of re
construction responded most happily.
Sickles' Trlliole to Xrliraaka.
In the course of his remarks, which were
delivered at tbe elbow of Senator Thurston,
who bad tbe end of the table. General Sick
les said that be wished to salute the gentle
ment present because he regarded their ad
vtnt at the inaugural of the republican pres
ident as a sign that Nebraska would con
tinue to be republican. He recalled tbe
meeting with Governor Dietrich ar Wilcox
during the last campaign, where they Jointly
partook of a 25-cent dinner, but thought tlMt
the tt dinner provided for tbe Nebraskans
in Washington was as nothing to tbe heart-to-heart
talk which he then bad with tbe
successful candidate for governor.
"I always think of Nebraska's soil,", said
General Sickles, as be rose to tbe full height
of his commanding presence, his voice ring
ing out over the brilliant cafe where the
i tan officers of many governors were gath
ered, "us consecrated by the homes of 00,000
soldiers of the civil war. hallowed by tbe
memories that make us one in this great
cause for which we are gathered."
He paid a glowing tribute to Nebraska as
a state that remembers its sons, and then,
with a humorous turn, said that it some
times elected to keep its lst citizens at
home, "especially Mr. lit ran." which
brought out a tumultous rour.d at applause.
Colonel Bills proposed the health of Sen
ator Thurston, to which the senator re
sponded in a happy vein, saying that tbe
Nebraskans had come to Washington to
help seal the Judgment of the American
people by attending upon McKlnley's second
Inauguration, the largest representation the
state had ever sent in an official capacity.
"American Judgment was rendered in No
vember." said Senator Thurston, "and the
American people have given their plodge to
continue in business at the old stand for
another four years."
Should Elect Ttto Itrpuhlleana.
Referring to the Nebraska political sit
uation he said- "I have no candidate for
senator. But the victory in Nebraska last
Nocmber must not result In dead sea fruit.
We cannot afford to fall of representation
in tbe upper branch of our national legisla
ture, for it might mean ruin to us as a
party. 1 'believe it the duty of the .present
legislature to elect tw-o republicans to tbe
United States senate, failing in which we
have not done our duty as a party."
He said he was going back to Nebraska
to take up the practice of his profession
and hoped that out of politics he would
meet all his friends upon the universal
level the brotherhood of man.
Mayor Moores made nn Interesting speech
of short length, wherein he told how be
had taken Sickles through a crowd during
the November contest and landed him at
his hotel without harm, although the storm
center was In Sickles' direction.
During tbe trip from Lincoln a sensa
tional Incident occurred, which at one time
looked ue It It might disrupt the Nebraska
delegation. Colonel J. Cameron Anderson,
surgeon general of Omaha, was tried by
court-martial, charged with having appro
priated shoes belonging to Colonel William
Hayward, commanding tbe Second regi
ment. Full trial wus uccorded the accused,
the court being made up of the following
officers: Brigadier General Barry, Colonel
Bills, Colonel Mills nnd Judge Advocate
COKTAGION AND INFECTION
La Grippe Is Infection, but fiat Con.
tncton..
Contagious diseases are communicated
trom one person to another, infectious dis
eases are conveyed through the air.
Smull pox Is a contagious disease; La
Grippe la infectious. When an epidemic of
tbe grip is prevailing it is in the air we
breathe and no one Is safe.
Tbe only safeguard is to keep the system
in tbe highest possible condition of health
and on the first appearance of a cold in the
bead to use some safe antiseptic like Stu
art's Catarrh Tablets freely, u tablet tuken
every hour or two for a couple of days
will be sufficient to break up tbe uttack.
La Grippe attacks tbe weakest part of
tbo system, It may be the lungs, heart,
liver, stomach or kidneys, but wherever it
finally locates it almost Invariably starts
with cold in the head and throat or in other
words, the disease at the beginning is acute
catarrh.
This is the season Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have been so successful in breaking up
uttacks of grip. Tbe antiseptic properties
of the remedy destroy the germs before the
whole system Is thoroughly iufected.
Dr. Annlstcn says. Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets being free from cocaine and harm
ful drugs should be freely used at thiB time
of year on the first appearance of grip
symptoms.
Tbey check the excessive catarrhal se
cretions, stop the fever and prevent pneu
monia. Tbey are composed of antiseptics r.nd
