"No,. I think not. We got what we were

LINCOLN, Feb. . (Special Telegram.)
The house upon convening at 10 o'clock this
morning took up H. R. 78, by Burns of Lan
caster, a Lincoln charter bill which pro
poses to vest !n the mayor instead of tho
excise board power to discharge and em
ploy policemen. The bill was placed upon
its passage and the house was treated to
another one of those edifying factional
fights like Douglas county members had
been putting up. Burgess voted against the
bill, saying It was vicious, and Burns, in
explaining his vote, said everything was
vicious but this bill. McClay was with
Burns.
The bill was passed with the emergency

H. R. 79, also a Lincoln charter bill by
Burns, providing for a municipal elective
lighting plant, was the subject of another
spiteful spat between Burns and Burgess,
In which Burns made the assertion that
Burgess was in the employ of the local
electrlo light company, hence his opposition

tractors for the construction of Iron and

by county boards and letting bids on sepa
rate contracts to the lowest bidders, was
the first bill up for passage In the after
noon. Over this bill a bitter fight has been
waged, the bridge lobby doing Its utmost,
In conjunction with certain county com
missioners to defeat It. Many members
rushed in written explanations of their
votes on the roll call.
The nine fus!onlst members voted against
the bill. The Douglas county members
present voted for It, except Tucker, who
was in the negative..
The bill was defeated by a vote Of t

OMAHA COl'XCILMKJI ARB ACTIVE
Want More Salary, bat No Increase
in Number.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 8. (Special.) Three
of Omaha's city counctlmen, SchroedeT,
Evans and Huntington, are calling on
members of the legislature today, paying
particular visits to the members of the
Douglas delegation. Hoye was here yes
terday. Huntington has been sick since
he arrived last night, but Evans and
Schroeder were In the house and senate this
morning. While not doing any very active
lobbying the counctlmen are anxious that
the newacharter bill be amended so as to
leave the membership In the council at
nine, but Increase the salaries. It Is be
lieved, however, their wishea will not be
wholly compiled with. The Douglas dele
gation already has agreed to increase the
council membership and, too. It has agreed
to increase the pay. To that extent the
councllmen's desires will be met.
W. J. Hunter and Cadet Taylor of Omaha
also were here today. Each said he was
simply on a visit and not down on any
matter of special import. Asked if he or
any of his colleagues on the Bartley bond
would seek, at this session of the legisla
ture, to secure a formal and ilnal release
of their obligations to the state, Mr. Taylor
replied:
"I am not exercising any such efforts and
know of no movement of that kind by any
of the others. You see, I went through
bankruptcy last year, so I am absolved
from further obligation."
Casebeer's entl-clgarette bill passed the
house this morning without a dissenting
vote. Seventy-two votes were cast for It.
This bill makes It a misdemeanor to man
ufacture or sell cigarettes or any material
entering Into their composition. It Is not
a strange bill in Nebraska legislatures. A
similar bill was up two years Ago, but
did not get through. The general impres
sion Is this one will go through the senate
with as much facility as It did through
the house and become a law. In his
speech for the bill In committee of the
whole some days ago, Casebeer grew elo
quent In denouncing the habit of cigar
ette smoking as of far more injury, men
tally and physically, than the use of to
bacco In any other form, and he was sup
ported -by other prominent members. It
became apparent there and then that the
sentiment of the house was for the bill
and against a practice considered most
harmful to the youth of the state, with
whom it is most common.
Members and employes of the senate have
made out their time and their vouchers
hove been made out and filed with the au
ditor. Deserving of passing notice is the
fact that with the exception of four mem
bers of the body all claimed their mileage.
These four were Shreck of York.. Cady of
Howard, Laveity and Jennings of Thayer.
It should also be noted that Jackson ot
Gage county and Whaley of Frontier re
ported that they had paid out cash' for
railroad fare. How many of the others
A REAR ADMIRAL
Of the Navy Gives Some Points on
Coffee.
A naval officer of all men has a chance
to become an expert on coffee and when
he talks about It, naturally knows some
what of his subject.
A certain famous ( now retired) Rear
Admiral whose name can be given by
mail on request says:
"I have traveled this wide world over
from the Artlo to the Antartic, and have
drank the best coffees ever grown on this
continent, T In the East, made by the
best chffs, and am an expert coffee maker
myself.
"Ot late I noticed that there was some
thing wrong in my dietary and that I
was suffering from dizziness immediately
after my coffee. I was becoming sadly
constipated, something unusual for me.
I was averse to thinking that coffee
was giving me so much Inconvenience,
but I thought perhaps It would be best to
reduce Its strength, but It made no pre
emptible change In my feelings.
"At last I thought I would venture to
try Poetum Food Coffee, a preparation
that I often laughed at, as I read Its ad
vertisements, so I purchased a small
package, and followed the directions ex
plicitly and prepared my first cup. I
was surprised to find that so far as taste
was concerned It was alright! besides it
had a satisfactory feeling. The next
morning I found that my bowels were
moved normally, and as in days when
I was younger and In the prime of life.
Next thing I noticed that when I sat
down to my morning paper and later to
my mall that my head and mind were
much clearer than they had been for a
long time, and I had no feeling of depres
sion and lasltude. No one could have made
me believe that a change from coffee to
so simple a liquid food oould have produced
such a rapid and marked change In a
person's condition. It Is now about three
months since I began to use Poetum. I
have never hankered after coffee, do not
want to see it. for I am In excellent con
dition, no constipation, no Indigestion, no
dizziness, no dullness and In fact feel like
a nw man and I attribute It to the change
wholly, and I may say that I feel stronger
than I did three months ago and at my
age, 76. strength is a much needed thing-. In
short since I abandoned coffee I am better
natured, better conditioned, and better
pleased than I have been for a long time.
The experiment I made with Postum cost
me IS cents, the beneficial results ob
tained cannot be calculated in dollars and
cents. It takes a little more time to make
Postum Coffee than ordinary coffee, but I
count the difference In time as naught In
comparison with the benefits gained. I
think I shall try Grape-Nuts next."
paid fare Is not known, as no reports were
made. Bresee came the longest distance
and will draw $ss for mileage, while Beghtol
of Lancaster will draw only 83.10.
The house had as busy a day, so far as
actual results were concerned, as It has
had this session. And yet It remained un
der one head of business all day, that of
bills under third reading. Twenty bills
were passed and one defeated. This cleaned
up the batch awaiting final action. Not a
new bill was Introduced.
Representative Marks asks The Be to
correct an erroneous Interpretation placed
on his bill providing for the admittance
to high schools of pupils living In districts
where there are no high schools.
"Mr. Burgess, secretary of the Omaha
Board of Education, recently had a signed
communication In The Bee," says Mr.
Marks, "In which he took the ground that
It costs Omaha $75 each to keep these pu
pils In Its high school and he further said
that under my bill Omaha, as well as
every other district, would be compelled
to admit every high school pupil who ap
plied for admission. That is not correct.
My t"l contains no provision compelling
any school to admit pupils If the school
authorities do not desire to do so. I am
sorry Mr. Burgess, not understanding the
provisions of my bill, has taken this means
of opposing It."
Abdul Hamad or some of his oriental
brethren may now be looked for at the
Nebraska state house. One of their most
sacred and ancient traditions has been at
tacked In the halls of the legislature and
there Is none bold enough to rise In Its de
fense. When Abdul comes he will find as his
chief foeman that stalwart veteran of so

La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

Judge Horatio J. Goss, Hartwell, Go.,
writes:
"Some five or six years ago I had a very
severe spell of grip which left me with
systemic catarrh.

Mies Jean Cowglll, Griswold Opera House

Aubrey Stock Co. She writes the following:
"During the past winter of 1001, I suffered
for several Weeks from a severe attack
of grip, which left a serious catarrhal
condition of the throat and head.
"Some one suggested Peruna. As a last
resort, after wasting much time and money
on physicians, I tried the remedy faith
fully, and In a few weeks was as well as
ever." Jean Cowglll.
Grip Resulted In Catarrh,
Miss Alice Bielke, Treasurer Young
Women's Society of the Lutheran Church,
Menanha, Wis., writes:
"I grat3fully acknowledge the good that
Peruna did me after I had been sick with
la grippe which left me In a very weak
and emaciated condition, with catarrhal
trouble of the head and ears.
"My mother suggested that I take It to
build up my strength and rid myself of
the troublesome catarrh, and It acted with
wonderful speed.
"I was able to resume my work Inside of
two months and I am In splendid health
now." Alice Bielke.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use In bo many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length of time
without acquiring a drug habit. Pe

term, la grlpre, has hern shortened by the

has been coined that exactly describes the

WASHINGTON, Fob. 8. Through his
counsel, Judge Swayno today mado formal
response In the senate to the articles of
impeachment voted by the house of repri
sentatives. The answer was a formidable
document In point of size. Each of the
twelve articles of Impeachment was an
swered at length. In every case the fact
charged was admitted, but explained from
Judge Swayne's point of view, and, in
addition, it was contended that even if
the conditions were true, as charged, they
were not of a character to Justify proceed
ings for Impeachment for "high crimes and
misdemeanors." '
The answer was read by former Senator
Thurston and when he concluded the sen
ate Issued an order requesting the house to
file Its formal reply by next Monday and
directed that all pleadings shall be In by
February 9, so that the trial may proceed
on February 10. The proceedings attracted
a large audience to the galleries and most
of the senators were In their seats.
After tho trial was suspended Senators
Stone, Berry and Morgan spoke in oppo
sition to the joint statehood bill In its pres
ent form.
Reply of Judge Svrayne.
At 12:30 p. m. the senate resolved Itself
Into on Impeachment court for the con
tinuation of the trial of Judge Charles
Swayne.
The order for the doy Included only the
answer of Judge Swayne to the accusations
of the house, and this was presented by
former Senators Higglns and Thurston on
behalf of the respondent, who fulled to
appear In person. The galleries were
crowded.
Mr. Thurston read Judge Swayne's an
swer, a typewritten document of fifty-flv
pages. He took up the specifications of the
charges In detail, contending that they were
not such as should be taken cognizance
of by the senate. Taking up the first, the
charge of receiving 110 a day for expenses
while holding court in Texas, while the
Judges' expenses were not so great, he ad
mitted the receipt of the money as charged,
but denied that his conduct In this respect
was contrary to law, as the allowance of
$10 a day was Intended to be a fixed Mid
definite allowance for judges when hold
ing court outside their districts. Judge
Swayne said that other Judges generally
have drawn the full amount of 110 a day,
and that up to the beginning of the pres
ent proceeding he had not received uny in
timation from the auditing ofTlcers of the
Treasury department or from others that
his course In accepting tho full amount
was contrary either to law or custom.
The charge that In 1.K93 Judge Swayne
had appropriated to his own use a railway
car of the Jacksonville, Tampa & Key
West Railway company, was denied. Judge
Bwaylie admitted the use of the car, but
said that it was occupied by hlmsolf nnd
friends in going from Delaware to Florida
on the Invitation of the receiver of the
road.
Judge Swayne also denied that he failed
to establish a residence in Ills district In
Florida. He admitted frequent absences on
account of visits to his family, th? holding
ot court elsewhere and because of a t-ur In
Europe, but contended that there ha.i been
no offense In this respect ot a character to
Justify Impeachment for high crlim-s and
misdemeanors.
The charge of committing E. T. Davis
to Jail for contempt he admitted, but Justi
fied It as a public duty. With reference
to the charge that he had presided In a
suit relating to real estate In Florida In
which he was Interested, Judge Bwuyne
denied the holding of such interest. H
attributed this charge to a conspiracy on
the part of three lawyers In the i. for
the purpose of securing delay and thwart
ing justice. He also admitted fining and
ordering to prison Attorneys Samuel Belden
and E. T. Davison on the charge of con
tempt for their conduct towards him In
the real estate case, and snld his conduct
in that matter was Justifiable as was
shown by the fact thnt the sentence was
affirmed by Judge Pardee of the United
States circuit court
Judge Swayne also Justified his course
in punishing W. C. O'Neal, saying that
his course in this case had been due to
the fact that O'Neal had made a murderous
assault on a trustee in bankruptcy ap
pointed by Swayne In a bankruptcy pro
ceeding. An order was adopted giving the mana
gers of the house until February 6 to
present a replication or other pleading
v. hleh the house may desire to make. The
irder further directed that all pleadings
niust be closed1 before February 9, so that
tue trial may proceed on February 10.
Statrhood Rill Taken Ip,
The senate, sitting us a court, then ad
i turned, and resumed legislative consider
ation of the Joint statehood bill. Mr. Stone
Fpoke In opposition to the measure, par
ticularly on the provisions relating to In
dian territory. Mr. Berry followed Mr.
itone, saying It was not true, as has been
asserted in the debate, that all the people
wanted Oklahoma and Indian territory
united ns one state. He insisted the Indian
people In Indian territory were unanimous
in their desire for single statehood. He
thought Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari
zona should be admitted as states at this
time and that for the present Indian terri
tory should remain a territory.
Mr. Morgan said that each of the terri
tories should be admitted Into the union
as a state and that to fall so to admit
them would be an act of bad faith.
Mr. Teller sought consent to have printed
in the record an article printed' today in a
New York paper, purporting to give the
text of the agreement between the United
States and Santo Domingo, but desisted
when assured by Mr. Cullom, chairman of
the committee on 'foreign relations, that
the publication was not correct. Mr. Cul
lom added that the agreement was in pro
cess of execution nnd objected to publica
tion under the circumstances.
The senate then went into exeoutive ses
sion and adjourned.
PROCEEDINGS OP LOWER HOUSE
Postoflire Appropriation Bill Passed
After Week's Debate.
WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-After nearly a
week of discussion the postoffloe appro
priation bill, carrying 8180,787.415, passed the
house today, following the defeat of a mo
tion by Mr. Moon of Tennessee to recom
mit it with Instructions to strike out the
provision of the special mall facilities on
trunk lines.
As soon as the house met today con
sideration of the pustofflce appropriation
bill was resumed.
An unsuccessful attempt was made by
Mr. Watson (Ind.), after a sharp debate, to
exclude rural carriers from the operation
of the civil service regulations. Mr. Wat
son charged that under the present policy
of appointments there was being built
up among the rural carriers a political ma
chine and he Insisted that the represen
tatives in congress could be relied upon to
recommend capable men for that service.
The chair sustained a point of order
against the amendment.
The question of political activity by pos
tal employes and the course to be adopted
to prevent It was raised by Mr. Griggs
of Georgia, who offered an amendment pro
viding that the uniting by postal employes
"with any association or organization
which has for its object the change of
relation of employes to the government
shall be cause for dismissal."
The amendment went out on a point of
order.
Mr. Moon of Tennessee moved to recom
mit the bill, with Instructions to eliminate
the provisions for special mall facilities.
The motion to recommit was lost, 109 to
