In the chair, the house spent considerable
time In debate on house roll No. 69, by
Horton of Keya Paha, to allow physicians
In communities where there is no registered
pharmacist within five miles to dispense his
own medicine. Horton and Bartoo of Val
ley, a physician, supported the bill aa an
expedient to residents of sparsely settled
communities. Perry of Furnas, McMuIlen
of Oage, Junkln of Oosper, Burgess of Lan
caster, Douglas of Rock and Dodge of
Douglas opposed the bill.
The opponent of the bill argued that the
hill would lower the standard and injure
registered pharmacists. Horton and Bartoo
denied this or that they wanted to do any
thing of the kind. Horton, who had not
spoken before during the session, enter
tained hla colleagues by making a strong
and eloquent plea for hla bill.
Douglaa offered an amendment to the bill
proposing to allow any merchant in such
communities to sell nonpolsonous drugs.
This brought to his feet Wilson of Paw
nee, another physician, who opposed the
amendment and the bill.
Wilson moved to Indefinitely postpone the
bill. Meantime Barnes of Douglaa spoke
for the bill as amended by Douglaa. Wil
son's motion was carried.

LINCOLN. Feb. l.-(SpeclaI.)-S. F. 14.
Introduced todny by Senator Saundsrs of
Douglas county, relating to the notice of
tiling of application for liquor license,
makes It necessary for the applicant to fl'.e
with his application with the police com
mission $5 to defray the cost of the publica
tion of the notie l.i the official newspaper
of cities of the metropolitan claw. Just
how much of the $5 is to go into t'.ie hands
of the publisher of the paper the bill does
not state and neither does Its author know,
so he said. The bill provides that the
notices of application shall be grouped and
all run together under a general head.
Senators Cady. Wltsey and Fries left last
night for Lansing, Kan., to visit the state
penitentiary there and investigate the man
ufacture of binding twine. The committee
will make a report to the senate, n bill to
establish such a manufuctory at the peni
tentiary here being in contemplation.
Speaker Rouw's avowed policy of
economy and retrenchment has not been
overlooked by the practical Joker. The
other day at breakfast In the Llndell hotel
the spesker ordered, among other thlnps,
hot corn cakes. Presently the colored
waiter brought In three little things about
as big round as a sliver dollar. The speaker
waited for some time and then, cal'.lng the
waiter over to him, asked where his cakes
were.
"Why, right there dey Is, Mr. Speaker,"
politely replied the colored man, pointing to
the trio of miniature cakes beside the
speaker's plate.
"What, do you mean to call those things
my hot cakes?" exclaimed the big, rugged
man who presides over the house, his voice
denoting that he was very much annoyed.
"Yes, sah; dey de ones," rejoined the
negro.
"Well, what sort of a cook have you out
there?" demanded the speaker.
"Why, we'se got a good cook, Mr.
Speaker a white man," wa the waiter'
reply.
"Well, does he know who these cakes ara
for?" retorted the speaker, getting more
annoyed every minute.
"Yes, sah: he do," said the waiter. "Dat's
why he sent 'em in. You see, Mr. Speaker,
dey's prac'lng economy out dere in dat
kitchen."
Two well known politicians were seated
at the table with the speaker, but both
kindly promised to keep the matter per
fectly quiet, so this la "under the hat."
The house decided It did not care at this
time to do any regulating of speed for
automobllists, so It killed Detrick's bill,
H. R. 19, providing for a uniform speed
limit In cities, towns and on country roads
of twelve miles an hour.
Zuelow'a bill for the establishment of
a state reformatory achool at some place
to be selected later, also was voted to
death. Zuelow, however, made a good
fight for the measure.
The house today by formal vote fixed
the salary of Timekeeper Glassgow at $4
a day, the same aa he drew two year
ago. This action waa taken because of
some question raised In the state auditor'
office.
Tomorrow will be the first payday for
the member and employee of the legisla
ture thl session.
Five bills were killed In the house
thl morning, at least were In
definitely postponed by the commit
tee of the , whole. Two of these
meaaurea were introduced by Barnes of
Douarlaa and backed by Justices of the
peooe and constable In Omaha, H. R. Hi
and H. R. 116. The former provided for
lengthening the official terms of constables
In Douglaa county from two to four year.
As the Justices' term are only two year
the committee saw no reason for Increas
ing the constables' terms Just now. The
other bill sought to extend the Jurisdiction
of constables.
In the slaughter waa H. R. 144, by Rob
erts of Dodge, allowing notaries publlo to
do business anywhere in the atate and
not be confined to the particular Jurisdic
tion In which they may reside.

BLOOD KILLS GERMS
Good Blood Mads by Good Food.
If one can surely turn food Into good
red blood it will combat any and every
diseaae . known and conquer completely
more times than tha diseases will win.
Any physician will tell you that good
rich blood and plenty of it la the beBt
germicide known and surely and safely
cures disease when medicines fall, so
the effort of the doctor is to give food
that digests and quickly makes blood.
No food ever discovered will do this
as certainly as Grape-Nuts, which is pre
digested at the pure food factories where
It is made.
One of the many illustrations Is that of
tuberculosis, which refuse to yield to
medicine, but must give way to good
blood. A man from Philadelphia writes;
"I have been fighting tuberculosis for
some years and with a weak stomach
was losing ground sdlowly every year. I
had tried all kinds of food snd finally got
so far along with the disease that my
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowls and lungs
were affected. My stomach got to a point
where it would retain no food but pep
tonized milk and I waa down to 90 lbs. in
weight. The doctors said about two
years ago that I had but a month or two
more to live. About that time I was put
on Grape-Nuts and cream. It never showed
the first sign of coming up. but sgreed
from the stsrt and in a few days I began
to feel increased strength so I kept on,
with the result that the healthy blood
has driven the disease from every organ
of my body except the lungs and la slowly
driving It from them. I have gained greatly
In vitality and strength and added 29 Ilia
to my weight. If I can keep on aa I have
been, It seems clsar that I will get entirely
well, thanks to old Dame Nature, whoie
work was made possible by food I oould
digest." Name given by I'ustum Co.,

MATTER GOES OVER UNTIL TODAY
Seaate Votes insist tana Its
Amendments to tfe Army Bill
Farther FHseassloa of State
hood Meaanre.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. The postofflce
appropriation bill occupied the attention of
the house the major portion of the day.
The usual annual fight on special mail fa
cilities on trunk lines crorped out. Mr.
Moon of Tenneseee arraigned those demo
crats supporting the proposition, charging
them with favoring a subsidy which would
oenent their sections while at the same
time inveighing against the republican
party for its attitude regarding subsidies
In general. The bill will be further consid
ered tomorrow.
For an hour or more the houeo discussed
proposed legislation looking to the regula
tion of railroad rates, the principal remark
being mado by Messrs. Shirley (Ky.) and
Sibley (Pa.)
The house today adopted the conference
report on the fortifications bill, which was
only a partial agreement, as the senate
amendment requiring detailed estlmstes
was still in dispute. A further conference
was ordered. The bill carries 16,747,893.
Consideration of the postofflce appropria
tion bill then was resumed.
In closing his remarks Mr. Sibley, reply
ing to a question by Mr. James (Ky.), ex
pressed It as his belief that In the matter
of legislation to restrict the carriers Presl
.tt Roosevelt was animated with a sin
cere desire for Justice.
Mr. Baker (N. Y.), discussing the rste
question, attacked Secretary of the Navy
Morton, who he said was a self-confessed
violator of the law. "We are told there
should be a square deal," he said in sar
casm, but he alleged that the cards were
stacked "In the Interest o the men that
control the great railroads of the country."
Incidentally Mr. Baker declared that "the
Innocence of the member of the house re
garding restricting the railroads Is ac
counted for by the little card cases in their
pockets."
The bill was amended in several particu
lars, the most Important change consisting
of the transfer of the Inspection service of
the department from the fourth assistant'
office to that of tha postmaster general.
There waa added $50,000 to the approprla
tion of 2,700,000 for rent, light and fuel for
first, second and third-class offices. The
period for the weighing of mail under the
quadrennial requirement as the basis for
the adjustment of transportation pay was
extended from thirty to sixty days.
The old fight on the appropriation for spe
cial mall facilities on trunk lines waa be
gun when Mr. Norrls (Neb.) 'moved to
strike out that feature of the bill. He con
tended there was a combination among
those Interested in the matter to keep the
provision In the bill and aald the postmaster
general had not recommerMed It.
The position of the second assistant post
master general on the subject was stated
by Mr. Moon (Tenn.) to be that the special
service was a hindrance rather than a ben
efit. That official, he said, had declared it
to be mandatory on him to expend the
money appropriated. A dosen or more
members, mostly from the south, were on
their feet at once, anxious to be heard.
Mr. Kluts (N. C.) vigorously denied the
statements of Mr. Moon aa td the attitude
of the seoond assistant postmaster general, i
but Mr. Moon reiterated his first statement.
He scored those democrats In th house
who favored the proposition, saying they
might as well understand that they could
not make an exception in this case and yet
Inveigh against subsidies proposed by the
republican party. "If you are democrats,"
ho said, amid applause, 4'be national dem
ocrats and not Southern railway subsidy
democrats." The whole proposition, he ar
gued, wa essentially wrong.
The provision was defended by Mr. Un
derwood (Ala.) on the plea that second
class mall privilege to newspapers also
was a subsidy, yet there wa no proposl
tlon to abolish It
With an understanding that discussion of
the question should be continued tomorrow,
the bill waa laid aside and the house, at
5:09 p. m,, adjourned.
ROCTIJIE PROCEEDINGS OF SENATE
Tote Taken to Insist I'pon Amend'
ments to Army Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. Messrs. Clark
of Montana, Dillingham and Teller today
continued the discussion of th Joint state
hood bill, Mr. Dillingham supporting the
measure as it stands and the other two
senators contending for amendments and
the right of the four territories to be ad
mitted aa so many state.
In hla reply to Mr. Dillingham, Mr,
Teller charged that Vermont had retro-
gaded and quoted figure to show that
there bad been a falling off In the value
and number of farms in that state, Mr.
Dillingham replied that thl condition waa
due to consolidation of small farms.
A number of seml-publlo bill were passed
during the day.
The senate resolved to Insist upon its
amendments to the army appropriation
bill, and Messrs. Proctor, Scott and Cock
rell were appointed conferees on the part
of the senate. The principal item In dis
pute is that relating to assignments of re
tired officers to duty with state militia.
When the statehood bill was taken up
Mr. Clark of Montana addressed the sen
ate. He opposed the pasaage of the bill
aa It stands, but spoks in support of the
admission of the four territories as so
many state. He expressed the opinion
that the time had come for abolishing ths
territorial form of government In the
United States, except in the case of Alaska.
Mr. Dillingham supported the proposition
for the consolidation of the four territories
into two slates, antagonising all the
amendments for a greater number of states.
He contended that conditions In Arizona
aad New Mexioo were not such as to
Justify separate statehood. Mr. Dillingham
said that with Arlsona and New Mexico
consolidated there would be 126.000 Mexi
cans and lOT.OuO Americans, so that there
nead be no fear of Mexican control, even
If such fesr need be otherwise entertained
from such a passive people as the Mexicans.
Mr. Teller, replying to Mr. Dilllnaham.
said that the people of Arlsona and New
Mexico had net progressed so rapidly as
they would have dune under a state form
of government. H said Hint accordlnr to
the statistical abstract the par value of
rarm in Vermont. Mr. Dllllnghaiu'a state
had decreased between lteO and 1X to the
extent Of fSO.000.000.
Mr. Dillingham aald th farm products
of Vermont in 1900 were of greater valua
than all th mineral and agricultural prod
ucts of Arizona.
Mr.. Teller said he bad meant no reflec
tlon oa Mr. Dillingham's state, but had
referred to Its retrogression to show thai
western communltiea were economically as
well prepared for self-government aa thos.

the . month of January, 1D05, is as fol
lows: Kast of the Rocky mo-.intalns the month
was colder than the average, with llRht
precipitation In most districts. In the
Rocky mountain region and to the west
ward tho temperature was milder than
usual with more than the average precipi
tation In the southern plateau region and
southern California, and much hss than
the average precipitation as a whole.
Throughout tho southern states the month
was untavorable for the agricultural In
terests in that section.
The reports indicate that winter wheat
waa generally well protected westward of
the Mississippi river and also In portions
of the Ohio valley ai.d middle Atlantic
states, but over much of the last named
district there was Insufficient snow pro
tection during the severest weather an
in portlona of Illinois and Indiana it I
feared that the crop has suffered Injury,
large area being covered with Ice. On
the north Pacific coast the outlook is fa
vorable, excepting for late sown In Wash
Ington. In California the prospect Is ex
cellent except along the Sacramento river.
where some damage has been caused by
heavy rains.

DRAMATIC SCENE IN CONTEST
Demoorat Identifits His Ballot from Among
a Number ProDennced Fraudulent.
LABOR UNIONS TO TAKE ACTION
Mass Meetings Will Be Held Through
oat the Slate to Demand Fair
Play for Oovernor
Adams.
DENVER, Feb. 1. There wss a dramatio
scene this afternoon In the committee room
where the gubernatorial contest Is being
heard, when Fred Hummel, who la demo
cratic committeeman in Eleventh precinct,
Seventh ward, a residence district, Identi
fied his ballot from a bunch of seventy or
eighty which an expert had reported was
fraudulent.
Mr. Hummel gave the number of hi bal
lot and wrote the word "democratic' aa hs
had written it in th election booth.
"Look over these ballots and pick out
yours," said Attorney Ward for the con
testant. Mr. Hummel began to turn over
the ballots, rapidly scanning each. The
situation waa tense and committeemen and
spectators almost held their breath aa the
large, poster-like ballots were . turned.
"That Is roy ballot." said Mr. Hummel,
straightening up. The ballot waa turned
and on the reverse side was found ths
number which corresponded to that In the
poll book.
Several other witnesses were on the
stand, but as the ballots from the precincts
In which they voted were not In the room
they were not cross-examined.
Today marked the opening of Oovernor
Adams' side of the contest and the supreme
court chamber, where the hearing Is held,
waa crowded.
Before th witnesses were examined to
day there waa a long discussion on the
matter of procedure In opening the seals on
the ballots. It was finally agreed that the
ballots alleged to be fraudulent should be
turned over to "openers," half of whom
should be represented by th democrat
and half by the republican. The "open
er" will work In gi-oup of two, one from
each party, under the eye of a watcher ap
pointed by the committee, ana report at
subsequent sessions.
Labor I'nlona Call .Mass Meetlnars.
A call ha been made by labor organisa
tion In thl city for mas meetings or
liberty leagues throughout the state to "de
mand fair play" for Oovernor Adam in the
settlement of the contest instituted toy
former Governor Peabody for the office of
aovernor. The liberty leagues were or
ganized during tho late campaign and their
membership oonsists mainly of union men.
Several labor unions have adopted resolu
tions asking the legislature to discuss the
gubernatorial contest. Resolutions adopted
by the carpenters union of this city ae-
clare that ''the Investigation beggars all
description for falsehood, baseless lnuendos,
perjury and corruption and la only lntenaea
to deceive the publlo by carrying out a
gigantlo conspiracy against the people un
der cover of a righteous indignation
against known election practices."
