Tb report of the state ad tor f :r the
bienniutn endlrg November 'JCi. whlci ha
Just been received from the printer, cca
talns the report of Insurance Deputy J. L.
Price. In whfoh recommendation la made
for a. new Insurance coda for the state, be
tluM ef the "Incompleteness and am-.yg-jlry"
of the present statute covr1rg
the subject- He also recemmends that tt
legislature tike up several cf the details ot
the law should it be fc-und inexpedient t
frame a code al the present time. Amor ft
other enactments reeded, he point out the
feet that there la ncthir.g In the stau'e
bocks which gives fcli department JurLsdlc
tlon of burial associations. Request 1 also
made for legislation relating to feea.
He makf-a the following comprehensive
recommendations with regard to life in
surance companies:
I would iW'imriMil the enactment of a
law which would pre, bit discrimination by
life Insurance companies In favoi of InCi-vld-jals
cf the ataie ciass and of the same
expectation of life either lr. the imwr.t or
the premium charged or In return of premi
um, dividend or other ad vantage
I would also recommend the enactment
of a new law governing fraternal benefi
ciary societies, aa the present law Is In
adequate in many particular. It is also
desirable that the law givernlr.g fraternal
beneficiary societies should be aa near uni
form a possible with the laws cf other
states governing such societies.
These recommendations are considered
very significant In view of the fact tai
there has been some agitation for the es
tablishment of the fraternal congress rates
by legislative enactment Mr. Pierce ex
plained that bis main object was to point
out the need for laws glvtr.g his department
greater power in the regulation of such as
sociations. He saJd that four or five old line com
panies which are writing discriminatory
contracts are aimed at In the first sugges
tion. He says it Is against public policy
for insurers to make contracts to indi
viduals witk the same expectancy on dif
ferent rates.
Bessrt f Gasse Wardesu
State Fish and Game Commissioner
Carter has completed his biennial report
to the gowsmor showing that during; the
last blennlum the department ha cost II.
i4.Ct for maintenance. During the same
period the Income of the department was
fli.S0.4l. leaving a net amount of CSK-iS
to be contributed from the general fund In
excels cf the amount turned over by the
commission . The discrepancy Is due to the
fishery at South Bend, which cost about
t'.uO, without bringing- la much of a finan
cial return to the state treasury. Mr.
Carter estimates that the game protection
department has turned Into the treasury
CM) In excess of the cost of maintenance.
During the biecnium the omdals of the
department have made 178 arrests and se
cured 142 convictions. Six cases were ap
pealed by the defendant. Seven provided
for jail sentences and In twenty-three
cases there were acquitais. During; the
same period the wardens made many r
ays and captured seventy -six nets, which
were destroyed; 250 other illegal devices,
L4C prairie chickens, quail and ducks and
SEO fish. Of the game bird, 7a were dis
tributed to the charitable institution of
the state, while & were distributed under
the provisions of the federal laws by the
I'nited States marshal at Chicago, who
ronftscated a shipment to that city.
Mr. Carter pays a tribute to the effic
iency of hi deputies. E. Hunger and D. E.
Smith. He call attention to the fact that

on a secorid g-aft th.s week and are row

organizer of the suit cl-.it was a sleek.jc.oit.
Ing yonug man who claimed to be a repre

of Omaha. The members were to pay Fl

persons have squealed" and In Vr.ion
seven names are given, who have also pala
for their little experience. When the ex
posure of the scheme appeared in the news
papers they one and all agreed that their
experience was well worth the price.
Last week, however, each member of the
'Vuit club" in fnjon received a nice little
letter fro'sa Omaha stating that the tailor
ing concern had been misrepresented by the
newspapers and that the Union member
would each be gnven a suit of clothes as
evidence that the concern was playing fair
with them. Later the "suits" arrived,
handsomely marked with shipping tags, and
"express charges, 15 cer.t. collect " The
boys were very anxious to show their suits,
and opened the package In public: then
they were sorry that they did. for the suits
were old and dirty outfits of dilapidated
pants, shirts, shoes and suswnde rs, and
those present bad a tosbel of fun at the
expense of the members of the 'suit club.
It developed later that the notices of ship
ment were prepared jn vr.ion and an ac
commodating traveling man resembling
SBert Hoag- mailed them In Omaha. The
packing house cf the company had been
temporarily in Union and the goods and
packers were home products, even the

MARRIED WHILE TRAIK WAITS

NORFOLK. Neb.. Jan. SpeciaL
Married while the train waited was the
unique experience of Banker N. G. Gard
ner of Gregory. 8. D.. and his bride, for
merly Miss Ludle Lemp of Boise City.
Idaho.
The two young; people arrived over a
delayed Union Pacific passenger train
from the west and had contemplated being
married at Norfolk when they arrived
early In the evening. The tardiness of
the train would bring them Into this city
about midnight, too late an hour to secure
an officer to perform a wedding cere
mony, and they were desperately concerned
lest they should be stranded, still unmar
ried. The conductor and engineer appre
ciated the plight and were willing to wait.
So the paasenger train that runs between
Norfolk and Cclumbus was halted at Hum
phrey while the Idaho couple hurried to
the Methodist parsonage and took the mar
ital vows at a sixty-mile gait. The other
passengers patiently waited, and congratu
lated the bride and groom on their return.
A half hour delayed, ths train sped on.

The unexpected has happened In the con
test for the potoffl?e at this place. Mrs.
J. W. Phillip, the present Incumbent, was
appointed April rT. 3S4. for four years, but
an amicable agreement had been made that
she should resign before the expiration of
Congressman Burkett's term of office and
Mr. Taylor should receive the appointment.
Mrs. Phillips- resignation had been asked
for and she stood ready at any time to
carry out her part of the agreement. Criti
cism taken in connection with other mat
ters has caused Mr. Taylor to oome out In
as article near a half column long in the
Argil releasing Mrs. Phillip from her
promise to resign and also releasing Con
gressman Burkett from hi pledge In the
matter. It is now conceded that Mrs. Phil
lips will bold the office until the expiration

WASHINGTON. Jan. H Special Tele
gram. Presert indications d not give any
great hope cf sencus remed.al railroad lg
islation at this session of cc-ngres. The
introduction cf Colonel Hepburn s bill to
day fs aicr.g the line cf thee d.spatches.
except that the date of Its ictroduct on
was postpo-?ed by reason cf a desire on the
part cf the attorney general to examine
closely ime of its features. While it l
entirely possible that the bill will pass the
house, t-etause that is understood to be
the prcgram. it will run against a very
serious stumbling biock in the senate. The
great railroad interests of the United
States, recognising that they have the
f.ght cf their lives cn their hands, have
put forward their ablest men. The Inter
state commerce committee ef the senate
ha already indicated to the railroad rep
resentatives that they will be heard an 1
engagement have been mad until Febru
ary la for such hearing It seems thera
fcre a most remote possibility that the
Hepburn bill should ever get any further
than the senate committee on interstate
commerce.
Among tbe brilliant railroad officials who
will be heard next week by Senator El
kin" committee is J. W. Blythe J, Burling
ton. Just what day he will be asked to ap
pear before the committee is cot known,
but there are so many railway Interests

Representative Norris of the Fifth Ne
braska district Is consideratly annoyed
ever a misapprehension which seems to
prevail In hi district reitlve to the bill
which he recently introduced extending the
tenure of office of president, vice president
and members of congress and the election
of senators by the people. According to
his bill the president and vice pres.dent
and senators shall be elected for terms of
eight years and congressmen for four
years, one senator ar.d members of t he
lower house to be elected every four years.
The misconception of his bill grows out of
an article which appeared In newspapers
printed In the South Platte country wherein
it was stated that the Norris bill Increased
the salaries of members of congress. Hav
ing no Idea whatsoever along those lines.
Judge Norris. who received a number of
letters today from constituents asking In
regard to his salary bill, feels annoyed
that hi bill to amend the constitution ha
been so misunderstood.

The answer allege that upon information
and belief the ballet boxes of Denver do
not now contain the ballots which were
actually cast by qualified voters, that the
ballot boxes have been tampered with and
stuffed since the election by persons In the
employ and under the direction of the re
publican committee ot the city and county
cf Denver, and that said spurious ballots
have been substituted In the Interest of
the republican candidates ar.d the Interest
of the wntestor. pursuant to an unlawful
conspiracy entered into by the republican
committee. Its' tools and employes, for the
purpose of making it appear that the bal
lots were substituted In the Interest of the
cntestee. whereas. In fact, whatever sub
stitution of ballots has occurred in the city

has been committed In the Interest of the
contestor.
