The purpose of these sectiora la to rest
In the membership the ultimate power over
legislation and cholee ft officer. They pro
vide aurh proportion of the voting strength
and never less than a majority as msy he
necessary to elect officers snd to enact and
amend laws shall be vested. In the. mem
rs and. that.tha xupreroe governing or leg
islative body shall meet and elections of
offloers shall be had as often aa once In
every four years.
I'nder this bill it Is still left within the
power of each society to hold elections oft
ner than once In fur vers snd to provide
that any larger proportion of the voting
atreng-th In the governing or legislative
oodv shall be held by the elected members.
This bill, in Its various pectlons, provides
for a general supervision of the, associa
tions by the auditor. The reciprocal right
. an4 duties of the auditor and these associa
tions are clearly defined.
nperTlsloa by the Date.
The bill provided for yearly reports and
yearly licenses. Kach society Is to pay a
yearly fee to the state of f. instead uf 10,
as the present law provides. Examinations
r to be made by the auditor when he
deems advisable, but without expense to the
association. This Is done to avoid even a
suggestion of the scanduls hich In the
lat,t have brought examinations of Insur
ance societies Into merited disrepute and
roused a storm of righteous1 indignation.
There Is retained In this bill the provis
ion of the present law to the efTect that
the auditor la required to be appointed as
the attorney of all foreign associations ad
mitted Into the state and upon whom pro
cess may be served.
In every rase the auditor la required to
reduce his rulings to writing, stating his
reasons and an easy method of revltwlng
his action In ther courts la provided. At
such heuring the merits of the case are con

Sections 25 and a provide that whenever
the auditor flnda that an association, either

tale, has failed to comply with the provis

NEW LAWS GOVERNING BREAD
London t'oanty Coaartl Proposes a
Change In Interest of
C onsatners.
LONDON. Jan. 15 i Special Cablegram to
The ttee.) The most Important provision of
the new brad bill, to which the London
County Council hopes to obtain the sanction
of Parliament next season, Is that all bread
other than "fancy" bread shall lie sold bv
weight only In quantities of one pound or
multiples, of op? pound.
This is practically certain to result in the
production of a new loaf, which wl'.I be a
handy size for small consumers and more
satisfactory than the present expensive 2
penny loaf of varying weight. Whenever
bread Is so'd In n shop It will be weighed In
the presence cf the purchaser. When It Is
delivered at the house door ihe baker will
be obliged to weigh the bread when asked
to do ro by the purchaser, his servant or an
inspector of weights and measures.
A i penalty Is provided In the bill for
the first offense and 10 for the second. The
bill will be a boon to the poorer classes,
who usually get two pounds of bread when
they ask for a half-quartern loaf. Hitherto
If a loaf was short In weight bakers have
only added a piece of bread when asked. In
future no bread, in whatever shape of loaf
It may be made, will escape the weighing
process except when less than a pound Is
sold.
The "cottage." "brick." "twist" and
"Devonshire" loaves, do generally favored,
will be classed a "fancy" no longer. They
are rarely of two pounds weight at present,
but under the new law they must be up to
the stnjidard. "Fancy" bread In London
will be bread made Into separate loaves,
twists or other shapes, each of which must
be lees than a pound In weight. There will
be no more slices from the "household" In
luncheon and dining rooms. This form of
supplying bread to customers has been per
haps ihe most profitable. A restaurant
keeper, paying Pi pence for a two-pound
loaf, can cut about II penny slices of bread
from It, making a profit of 9V4 pence on
each loaf sold. After the passing of the
bread bill only "fancy" bread will be sold
to customers In restaurants.

Next Department Comanaader
of the G. A. R.
As the time approaches for the meeting
of the Department encampment of the
Nebraska Grand Army of the Republic, to
be held at Qrand Island In May next, tbe
queson of who will be department com
mander is engaging the attention of Qrand
Army men In Omaha to some extent. A
group of Grand Army men were discussing
the situation at the Merchants hotel Sun
day. A Lincoln man suggested that Rev.
P. C. Johnson, at present chaplain of the
penitentiary, was probably the leading can
didate. The Omaha members of the party
rather favored the candidacy of John Lett
of Bennett, Nebraska. Lett was a candi
date for the office las year at Kearney, but
the fact that he was senior vice depart
ment commander at that time was against
his promotion then, us there is a general
agreement among Grand Army men now
that successive promotion will, not go any
more. It begins to lock aa If Lett will have
the support of the Omaha delegations to the
Graad Island encampment.

the outset the differences between the so

was the nationalization of ralrays. It be

cided to hold an Internal jcmal congress next
year in Mllaa, when the principal topic
will be the right of. everybody over 15
years of ags to r-ajular and well-paid
labor, with allowaijres during illness and

AFFAIRS AT SOU 1 11 OMAHA
Delegatioi cf Cititeni to Go to Lincoln to
Protcit Againit Bewer Bonds.
OBJECT TO AUTHORITY IN COUNCIL
Protestaata Waat tbe Propose Bill
Amended That People Shall
Be Allowed to Vote ci
Proposition.
A score or more of prominent citliens
will Journey to Lincoln the first of the
week to enter a protest against one fea
ture of the bill proposing bonds In the
sum of $2.i,ti0 for sewer purposes in this
city.
Although the leading members of the
Taxpayers' league seem most Interested
yet It Is Btated that the delegation which
will go down to Lincoln is not comprised
wholly of the members of that organi
zation ar.d the movement Is not made under
the direction or auspices of the lesgue.
bf'th the house and senate committees
having the u.il In charge, will be waited
upon.
What the citizens who will enter protest
most object l'j Is the g;ving of authority
to the council to issue the bonds without
first having It submitted to a vote of the
people. The imperative need of a new
sewer system complete Is not disputed nor
is the price objected to. The contention
Is made that the Mil as it now stands
would Impose the whole expense upon the
taxpayers generally, while according to
an old contract of the city recorded with
the city clerk the packers and the stock
yards by whom the sewtr is most used ar
to pay a half.
Want a Popular Verdict.
Thomas J. Nolan, who ll la understood
Is to be spokesman for the dclcgitica.
mid yesterday that the wi.sh of the citi
zens who have engaged In the movement
is merely to insist that the bill when
passed will permit the people to vote upon
the proposition for bonds. He said that
the bill as It now stands gives the council
authority to issue bonds in any amount
letiariiltM of any indebtedness alrcitdy
sUnding. lie quoted Representative Clark
as taylng that he would opise (he bill
with all hij might unless so amended as to
rcu.uir tue propositi!-n for boniis to be
submitted to a vote of the taxpayers be
fore bonds are iFued.
One of the grounds upon which support
of the bill is asked, is th pending suit of
Guy C. Barton for damages by reason of
the filthy condition of Mud creek. This
suit is against thi packers and the stock
varus as well as the city, and 811 uro
then fore equally Interested.
Aside from the newer bond proposition
it stated that n legislation is now pend
ing in the state legislature In which Kouth
Omaha. Is vitally interested. Some bonds it
Is believed will be voted during the crim
ing year, if the right to issue such bonds
should be taken from the city.

LOTS IN THE SMALLER TOWNS
Prices Rale Higher Than Lota In the
Oatlylnar Portions of
Omaha.
Omaha real estate men believe that out
side Investors are waking up to the Idea
that lots within the city and its suburbs
are cheaper than In the small towns in the
state. The snswers which come to adver
tisements lead to this conclusion. Men
all over the eastern half of Nebraska nnd
In Iow-a and In the east to a lesser extent
have written after seeing some Omaha
advertisement of residence lots nnd these
Inquiries have resulted In numerous casts
in Investments because the inquirers seemed
to believe lots could be obtained cheaper
In the large city than in the smaller towns.
"We Have some $100 lots in Benson."
said Harry Tukey, "which we have ad
vertised and we have been surprised at
the number of answers and inquiries we
have received from out-of-town Investors.
There are any amount of lota in Benson
and elsewhere about the city which pre
within a block or two of the business
center of the town which can be bought
chenper today than lots similarly located in
small towns away from Omaha. The good
real estate in the smaller towns seems
to be held at a comparatively high figure.
The prices at' which Omaha real estate
men are quoting lots in Benson and else
where about the city seem to have made
quite a hit with the out-of-town Investor."

"An English Dulij" at the Km a.
Murray and Mack have temporarily gone
out of the slap-bang, hurrah style cf
"Irish" comedy and are doing reasonably
straight roles in their present piece, "An
Knglish Palsy," which Is Just about on a
level with the recent output of the muslca:
comedy milis. It has plenty of comedy,
some of It good, and lots of muhie, none of
It bad; a number of tuneful songs and an
abundance of dancing and other attractive
elements. The stars have roles that fit
them cry well, and manage to extract a
good deal of laughter from the audifr.ee
without a great deal of effort. Cut they do
not undertake to give the whale show,
having a number of capable assistants, who
aid very materially in winning success for
the piece.
Miss Laura Pierpont. who is the "daisy" In
o.ucstlon, deserves the title in every way.
She la young, fair, lithe and graceful, and
has a voice of present performance and fu
tuie promise. She has apparently worked
her way Into the business through the sev
eral rows of the chorus, for her bearing In
dicates a familiarity with rtage methods
that Is out of keeping with her years. She
mnde a decided hit at both performances
yesterday and fully deserves the attention
she received.
Harry Ladell and Antonia Strops are also
Important personages in the working out of
the incidentals to the progress of the piece.
He Is a remarkably able dancer, and snme
th'.rg of an acrobat besides, and she sings
sweetly and dances well enough to accom
pany him through a couple of whirlwind
dances. Everybody In the company does
something to make the evening merry and
success that attends Is Inevitable. "An
English Daisy" will remain at the Krug
until after Wednesday night, with the cus
tomary matinee on Wednesday.
Vaudeville at tbe Crelirhton-Ornheam
Mal'.ory brothers, lirooks and Halllday,
quartet of colored singers and musicians,
scored the Individual success at the
Orpheum yesterday. Their act is the best
in the musical line that has been offered In
Omaha this season, and was warmly ap
plauded. Each of the four plays well on
different Instruments, and they all alng
splendidly. Miss Chr.rlotte HavenBcroft also
contributes a mulcsl treat. She sings a
song of little merit, other than It exhibits
her voice to good advantage, and plays
charmingly on the vlo!ln. She, too. was
warmly received. The Alpine family, three
young girls, ranging in age from 7 to 15 and
a man. do some very entertaining stunts on
the tight wire, keeping clear from the
hackneyed performances of others, and
achieve success. Russell and Locke are s
pair of dancers who confine their efforts
l.-.rgely to Jig steps, and are sufficiently
lively on their feet to p'ease those who ad
mire this sort of versatility. Frederick
Hallen and Mo!l!e Fuller have a new sketch
that doesn't give them a great deal of op
portunity, although it possesses some ele
ments of humor. It was fairly wH re
ce'vd. Herrmann, Ihe magician, does s
number of tricks, all very neatly, but alt
seen here before. Hennlngs, Lewis snd
Hennings contribute a "boiled down"
musical comedy, and open the show very
satisfactorily. The klnodrome pictures are
good.

The present value of Weslern Nebraska Lands for
producers and their future value for investors is becoming
well known. While their price has perhaps doubled in
the past three years, they are considered cheap today by
those who have kept posted on land values in America.
There is a deep-rooted contentment among owners of
the older Nebraska farms, yet just beyond these valuable
holdings, to the West and Northwest, stretches a-vast
acreage for pasturage, for successful live stock industry,
and for crops of small grains. The history of the West
shows a consistent and steady westward movement of the
line of rain fall, as the cultivation of tbe prairie is ad
vanced westward.
At this date in 1905, there are many inquiries about
these lands; a large proportion of buyers are from central
and eastern Nebraska fanners who have come to under
stand the value of Nebraska lands in the long run.
Homtsetktrs' ticursions on the first and third Tuesdays of each
month. Write for our Nebraska booklet; any aent of the Burllngtou
will send you the address of land ag?nts in his particular neighborhood.
