Mr. Marsh ad mits that he contrasted' those bills without legal aothortty, bat Justifies his course by saying that he followed the precedent set by former secretaries of state. Later' la the day, however, the carpet aatd to.hare been missing waa found In tbe third story of the capitol building. . y The text, of the committee's report Is: '" J What' the Bills Are. Tour eommlttee on account and expendi tures has been handed the following bill for legislative supplies: Omaha Printing company, twelve bills, aggregating J1.6S1 3 Hardy Furniture company, carpet and carpet lining..-. f9t 15 Harley Drug company 40 00 Theae bills are all certified to by Secre tary of 8tate Marsh as being correct and as having been . purchased by him for ac count of . the legislature. Your., committee was unable to find any authority vested In the secretary of state for making such pur chases, other than that found In section '4 of article It. chapter' Ixxxlil, of the Com piled' -Statutes, which provides that "he shall furnish tbe legislature and the officers thereof all necessary fuel and .stationery whan so directed by resolution of the leg islature,' or eilher branch thereof." Tour committee called on" the secretary of state and Informed him that It was unable to find .other authority, and as no resolutions had "been directed to hlra authorising the purchases, he was requested to cite his authority for contracting the bills above named. In' reply he stated that there' was no authority. of law that he., had simply followed the custom of his predecessors. Being inked W he had Invited bids on the supplies contained in 'the -bills, te stated tKil. It a tiaff nnfr. . . ,Th bill of. the, Hardy, urnJLtura, company M for: '.'

SiA yards - carpet lining at 10 cents per jard- , ; , .(. . . ..- - l ; WO yards terry at 65 centa per. yard. t i Your committee was unable to find any new Wilton carpet" In the building: When asked as t thlsitem the secretary of. state,' notwithstanding the fact that ha had certi fied this bill as being correct, a Id that no such carpet had been purchased or was In the buUdfng; that he had not agreed to pay "more' than 1.30 per yard for any car pet. ' As to the other carpets designated as r'velvet," yonr committee has examined them and finds them to be of tbe poorest quality of velvet and plush carpets. Sam ples were taken and sent by different par ties to three firms handling carpets In thi cty of Lincoln, one of them being the Hardy Furniture ' company. Each of the firms stated that the samples were ot, the poorest . quality, being poorer than they usually, carried In atock. Being aaked to name a price at which they would flurnlsh same for a residence, a price of 90 cents per yard waa made by each of the three firms. Terry waa quoted at 30 cents to 65 cents, and carpet lining at 3 cents to 6 centa. , , The prices .charged by the Omaha Print, log company are without doubt excessive. In tbe varloua bills are found rubber bands,, typewriter ribbons, library paste, shears, 040,0118, wire letter trays, typewriter car bon paper, pens and one typewriter desk, ao marked that It has been possible to get prices on the same articles from othe. flms. Articles so mentioned are charged In. the. bills at $709.74. Prices mads by another firm, to your committee on theae same tems would make 'them cost but $404.67. and this If bought In smalt quan tities. It the earn rate of overcharge holds good for the entire amount of the bills, the charge of $1,181.69 'would acale down to Il.&oe.M.' ; V !!'- . ,, Marsh )Makes Statement.

In face of these circumstances, to .have this thing sprung In this pianner caJoulated to reflect upon me. In buying supplies for the. state I have done what I thought was' my duty In following precedent et'by my predeces sors. I am more than anxious to have an Investigation Instituted and I promise to give the committee all the assistance and Information I can. Aa to the velvet car pets, I ordered a certain number or amount of carpet frcm the Hardy Furniture com pany and eupposed the bill filled aa given. If not, then I don't see that I am to blame." After the velvet carpet had . been found this afternoon In the third story of the cap ltol building, W. L. Nauslor, 4 janitor ap pointed by Secretary Marsh, made this statement: j "I knew th carpet was there and have frequently told Mr. Marsh. He had said It was not needed and that It should be re.' turned to the fins from which it wss pur chased. But it was never returned." W. H. Clark, storekeeper during this and the legislature of 1901, by MrMareh'a ap pointment. Is said to have charge of re serve property such as this carpet. When the carpet waa bought It la said" to . have been very much needed and the, bill for It waa O. Kd. by the secretary 6 state. ' ' In tbe presence of Mr. Marsh, William Hardy of the Hardy, Furniture company made this statement:- "Wa have delivered to the state every Item In our bill and tor each lttnj the reg ular. Lincoln , retail price was charged. It such is found not to be the case we will donate all . this . property to the state. 1 have beea given no opportunity of going before this committee, although the. com mlttee Informed me that I would be given such opportunity. I was anxious, and km yet, to testify, to what I know to be facta." Opponents of the alleged printing trust make the bald assertion that this resolution and the propose lnrvatlgatton Is the work of that combination, which is endeavoring to get even with Secretary Marsh, whom they accuse of going outside the so-called trust in making hla purchases. . With tbe expiration of the forty-day limit for introducing bills, a comparison of tho number Introduced at the ' present session and In Its predecessors. shows that this has not been a prolific one' In this respect. In the senate there hare, been Introduced a total ot 294 blllfr as against 309 two years ago. S5S four years ago 'and 409 in tbe '95 session, a less number than any ot ita Im mediate predecessors. In the house the number Is not the smallest ot recent 'ses sions, but only one makes a more econom ical showing In this regard, and that was the session of two years ago, with a total of 481, against 487 the present session. In 1899 there were 623 bills Introduced In the house, 650 in 1897 and 641 In 1895. Eaforcfnaj Hiiimim Rates. Kennedy of Douglas, author of the bouse resolution . providing for the enforcement of the maximum freight rate law. today In troduced a bill constituting tbe. governor, commissioner of public lands and the state treasurer a board to have charge of these ratea. They shall raise and lower them aa provided by law. At present this func tion is vested In no living body. The taw vests tbe duty In the Board of Transporta tion, which is A misnomer, since this board has ceased to exist. Mr. Kennedy's object is to secure every .mesne and facility of atrengthening his movement to Insure th enforcement of the .maximum freight rates, which he contends have pot. been enforced. HooanlAg; Portland Exyoaltlosj. Governor Geerof Oregon arrived In the city this afternoon.' He Is here In behalf of the Lewis and ' Clark exposition. He ia anxious to secure a reasonable appro prlation from the legislature' to give Ne braska a repreaentation In the fair. He talked (with thirty or forty membera to night, and. expressed satisfaction later at the sentiment represented by these mem bers. ? -: .i :, "We appropriated $20,000 for one of the Omaha expositions,' said Governor Geer, "and we think Nebraska might reciprocate in appropriating; $10,000 or $16,000 for our lair. . Tbe governor goea to Missouri from here. He' expects to secure a liberal donation from that state. Oregon has appropriated $50,000 for the 8U Louis world's fair. Tbe state of Oregon; the governor says, has set aside $500,000 for the Lewis and Clark exposition, about $1 for every Inhabitant, and the city ot Portland haa appropriated $350,000. - .

Nebraska Historical society the custodian WHISKEY VS. COFFEE. A Woman's Kxperlmeata. Some families have sad experiences with whiskey. Probably twice aa many fami lies have alckness and distress caused by coffee and the cause not suspected half the time. A woman from Tacoma, Wash., fays: "One of our family had become ao ill that the doctor finally pronounced him incurable from enlarged liver. He recommended a sea voyage, which might prolong his life, but said it waa only a question ot time when he would die from the disease. "He was -dreadfully nervous, , thin, could not sleep at night, lost flesh and strength dally snd everything he ate or drank soured on his stomach. He was so weak and faint he could hardly walk about. , "I finally came to the conclusion that coffee' made the mischief, so tsok coffee away from him altogether and next morn ing gave him Postum Food Coffee. He ateadily began to get better and has. sever had a sour stomach from that time. He now sleeps all night, where he used to suffer the agonies of death. He haa gained over 20 pounds and is well and strong. "My little boy was given coffee at an early age and be began to have spells of sick ness at times. I did not suspect the trouble until my expedience with Postum opened my eyes; then I took coffee away from him and gave him Poatum ateadily. If you should see him now and sea how well and strong he Is, you would not be lieve It was the same puny boy he was when he was drinking coffee. . "An acquaintance of ours csrrted Postum with him to the gold fields of Alaska. He aays he met, aome men up there who had run out of Postum and could not drink cof fee. They offered him aa high aa twenty dollars a pound for the Postum. He said It was worth forty do Iters a pound to him, for it gave him strength to endure the hardships snd. that he would not part with It at any price until he could get more. "Now about my own case. I was a alck. nervous woman and did not suspect it was coffee, but from the experience I had gained about two years ago I quit coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee. My ap petite Improved. I can eat 'anything, have no Indigestion and have gained about forty pounds In the two years. "I know of a man whose eyes were ao af fected by coffee drinking that he was going blind. The doctor suspected coffee to be the trouble and ordered him to quit and take on Postum Fo. d Coffee. Tbe change produced a great rhaop.e In his eyea. He gradually got better and haa now left off h'.s glasses altogether. Ho would have been atone blind if he had not quit eoffao and taken up Poatum." Name gives by Postum Co., Battle Creek.
