thli resolution," be declared, "but I must
say that his warning to the republican!
of Ihe hous regarding their strength and
future political cours reflects somewhat
upon hl motives. Why, sir, do you re
mind us that we have ninety-one members
and your party only nine?" eaxatmed Jack
son, facing Jones actoss the hall.
Jackson commended: the Integrity of the
members of this board and said tbey could
not have been guUty of any wrong In this
matter. lie then declared that legislative
Investigations never did- amount to any
thing, calling attention to the Bartley
cigar box Investigation ' of two years ago
to provo his assertion. He said the proper
remedy, if any waa needed, lay In the ad
ministrative officers of the state and con
cluded his utterances with this remark:
"I would say to the gentleman from Polk,
watch well your own course when you
come again to face your constituents."
Wilson spoke again, saying he favored
very short Investigation, which he be
lieved' would tend to bring satisfactory re
sults and clarify the situation. He said
If the legislature defeated the resolution
the charge would be made that the re
publicans had smothered It for fear of un
covering evils committed by members of
their own party. -
Perry then resumed his speech, making
a strenuous effort to kill the resolution on
Its phraseology. ,
Windham (or Resolution.
"Let us be cool and candid and look at
this matter from a sensible and logical
standpoint," then asserted Windham, who
proceeded to make a very dispassionate,
but apparently effective speech why the
resolution should be adopted.
"I favor adopting this resolution," said
he, "more so because It has been introduced
by a member of the minority. I am not
ready to question the author's motives,
neither to even Insinuate that any member
of the board did wrong. But this resolution
presents a case and It Is our duty to ad
dress ourselves to the consideration of that
case. The legislature rested authority In
the Board of Public Lands and Buildings.
If that authority was violated I know of
no body with a better right to call for an
accounting from this board than the leg
islature.. If these men committed a wrong
they should be dealt With. If they did not
they should be exonerated. It Is our duty,
then, to proceed with this investigation."
AndersenN of Douglas voiced Windham's
words and urged the Investigation.
Hunker of Cuming (fuelonlst leader)
spoke for the resolution, saying It. could do
no harm If there was no guilt and no In
justice If 'there was. ..."
Voter of Cedar opposed It, saying he had
personally looked Into the matter and satis
fied himself that there liadbeen no crooked
work. ' "i
Scllley of Dodge" -wanted the resolution
passed. He Was a member of the commit

THE VALUE OP CHARCOAL
aTW People Know How I'aefnl It Is In
rrrservlnir Health and tteanty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise Its
value:' when taken Into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose. '
Charcoal Is a remedy that the mors you
take of it the better; it It not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities
always present In the stomach and Intes
tines and carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing,' drinking or after sating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion, It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs th Injurious gases which col
Hrct In the stomach and bowsla; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
f catarrh..
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably th best charcoal
and th most for the money is in Stuart's
Charcoal Losenges; they are composed of
th finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form
or rather in the form Of large, pleasant
tasting losenes, th charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use ot the losenges will soon
tell in a much improved Condition of th
general health, bettercemplexlon. sweeter
breath and purer blood, ar)d th beauty of
it Is, that no possible harm ten result from
their continued use, but the contrary,
great benefit. . V . ' ' , , -
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal; says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patient
suffering from gas la stomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purity the
breath, mouth and throat; I also believe
th liver is greatly benefited by th dally
us. of them; they cost but twenty-flv
cent a box at drug stores, and although la
sora sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I get more and better charcoal In
Stuart' Charcoal Losenges than In any f
' Ui ' ordinary Charcoal tablet
SENATE KILLS THE SHRECK BILL
Warmest Debate of the Session Is
Precipitated.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Feb. 15. (Special.) With
friends and opponents of the Shreck fra
ternal Insurance bill. S. F. 43. consUtutlng
one of th most powerful Insurance lob
bies ever assembled In Lincoln, hanging
over the railing which separates the lobby
from the senate chamber, the senate in the
committee of the whole killed the bill this
afternoon. The debate waa the most sen
sational In which the members of tho
upper h6use have indulged and it began
when Shreck in his opening reiiuuks spoke
of the powerful lobby that had tried to
kill his bill and It reached its climax when
Bresee of Sheridan, In an impassioned de
fense of the measure, pointing 'toward th
lobby, exclaimed:
'This senate has laeen beset by the mean
est, most persistent, the most industrious
and the most damnable lobby that ever
tried to Influence legislation. In their ef
forts to defeat this bill they are spending
our own money; money that we have paid
Into the orders for our insurance. There
they are; look at them, lined up against
the railing."
Other debaters took their cue from the
Bresee statement and the remainder of the
morning was Illuminated with a' most bril
liant display of conversational "fireworks.
The committee had before it three mo
tions: One by Thomas of Douglas, to In
definitely postpone the bill; Shreck's mo
tion to engross It for third reading, and
one by Good of Nemaha, to make this bill
anil' the fraternal congress bill a special
order for tomorrow. No vote was taken
at the morning session, however, at 12:30
the senate taking a recess until 2:80.
When the committee reached the Shreck
measure Oibson, as chairman of the In
surance committee, announced that the
committee was In favor of indefinitely post
poning the bill, but as so much had been
said about it and so much literature had
been sent over the state against and for
the bill, the committee finally decided to
report it for general file. At the
conclusion of this statement from Gibson,
Thomas moved the bill be indefinitely
postponed.
In defense of his measure "Bhreck ex
plained the object of his bill. It seeks, he
said, to make the governing- body of fra
ternal orders consist of 95 per cent elected
delegates and 5 per cent of the officers
of the order who shall be members of the
governing body by virtue of their offices.
There is nothing 1n the bill, h"atd, to
prevent grand officers from being elected
delegates from local lodges and thus being
a part of th 96 per cent of eleoted dele
gates. "There Is opposition to this bill," he said,
"we see It everywhere. But where does it
come from? Ws have received numerous
resolutions signed by lodge officers protest-1
Ing against this bill. Where did these reso
lutions com from? They were prepared
and sent' out by the officers of grand lodges;
by1 members of the fraternal congress. That
is where tho opposition comes from." The
senator exhibited a number of resolu
tions which had been sent him from his
home county. A number of lodges, he
said, that had previously resolved against
the bill had changed their resolutions when
they understood the matter and had slnoe
voted to favor the measure.
At .the conclusion of his talk Senator
Shreck was subjected to a running Are of
questions from Gibson and Meserve, wind
ing up with Meserve asking if the present
Insurance laws protected the members of
fraternal organizations.,,
"Yes," snswered Shreck.
"Then," asked Meserve, "why change the
lawT Is there any crying demand for a
revision of the fraternal laws?" ..'
Shreck's answer was that ha wanted to
help the members. ,
Gibson In speaking against the bill told
that he belonged to. tour orders and (hat
for a year or more he had the finance offi
cer of one of these lodges In his office, "I
found out," he said, "that theae officers
must be men of brains and that they are
honorable men. They, are not usurping any
of the powers of the members."
Epperson of Clay In stating his reason for
being in favor of the bill said he had been
trying for a long time to find out who
constituted the fraternal oongress and at
last he had come to the conclusion that It
was a lot of officers of grand lodges who
wanted to keep their offices and Vote them
selves salaries. He denounced the methods
of the lobby, which, he said,- had sent out
stereotyped resolutions, which lodges with
out Investigation had adopted, denouncing
the Bhreck bill.
"If the grand lodge officer is a man ot
brains, as stated by Gibson," said Epper
son, "he need not fight this bill.. H does
not need an appointive office; he can be
elected If he is ths right kind of a man."
It was after Epperson's talk that Bresee
made his sensational statement regarding
the "damnable" lobby. H made a telling
speech for the btlt. "
Jackson of Gage, the Introducer of th
fraternal congress bill, In speaking against
the Shreck measure, was Just as animated
as was Bresee. He denied emphatically
that the fraternal congress was spending
money belonging to the members or that
had been paid In by the members In fight
ing the Shreck bill.
"I want to say something regarding th
lobby that has been working against my
bill and for the Shreck bill, I want to call
names and point out th men to you.
There stsnds on of them now, leaning over
the railing; that man Why man. H la
fighting th fraternal congress bill. He ap
proached me and wanted me to introduce)
th Shreck bill. He represented to me that
he wanted to kick up a fight between th
fraternal companies."
"Who does hs work for?" Interrupted
Oibson. ' , "
"I heard he worked for an old lln In
surance company," replied Jackson.
"You have heard much on this floor
about ths us of money and. underhanded
methods. "Who are the mten who are work
ing In th Interest of this' fraternal con
gress bill? All honorable gentlemen. Com
pare them with some who are working for
the Bhreck bill: Look-at E. J. lUlner.
Does any man dar say he is not an honest
gentleman? I would be proud to vote for
him for United State senator. I am proud
he Uvea In my state. There are A. L. Tal
bot and J. C. Root of Omaha they or
both her. Both gf the in ar abov re
proach. Both have th welfare of the
fraternal at heart.
"Should this Shreck bill become a law
It would stifle every small lodge that Is
to be organised In this state. Look at
what It would cost to have a convention
of 100 men meet to make some change In
the laws. Every lodge would have to send
Its portion of that 5 per cent of delegates.
Could they afford to do It? The bill,
shoulfl It become a law, would make It Im
perative that they did this." Mr. Jackson
concluded with A statement of the history
of fraternals from the time the first one
waa organised and from his statistics an
nounced that at this time fraternals were
paying out In losses $2 a second.
Cady of Howard was In favor of th
Shreck bill and In his remarks he. more
than .any other senator, confined himself
to the bill under discussion.
"If there Is any objection to the bill,"
he said, "It certainly should be to that
provision which provides ths grand lodge
shall contain at least 95 per cent of the
elective body. That should read 100 per
cent. There Is no danger In turning this
power over to the people. It sounds
strange to me to hear a man argue to
turn over to a people only a portion of
power. The fraternal congress bill Is a
cunningly fixed Instrument. It provld
that a majority of the governing body
shall be of the elective body. That would
practically leave the affairs of the lodge
In the hands of the self-elected officers.
"But I want to say here this Is not a
warfare against fraternities. It Is a fight
to save the orders. I want to tell you, you
need not be afraid to turn . your lodges
over to the people who have paid In the
money to keep them going. When the
people rule there Is no perpetual office
holder. Do not be mislead by those who
are working against this bill. They are
working for selfish ends. Thero is not a
particle of danger in trusting your orders
to the people."
Wall of Sherman made an Impassioned
speech against the bill. He told that old
line insurance agents were for the bill.
"That should be enough to put every fra
ternal man on his guard," he said. He
argued that to enact the bill Into law
would stop the organisation of any more
fraternal lodges. The officers, he said, who
organised these lodges are the ones who
borrow the money to give them their first
start. He cited an instance In his own
neighborhood where several men had bor
rowed on their own responsibility $10,000 to
start a loda-e. The membership, he said,
was not responsible for this money, but
the officers were.
Mockett of Lancaster closed the morning
debate with a humorous speech in which
he advertised his old line insurance busi
ness and partially made the senators for
get the heated struggle they had been
through.
After the Mockett ' talk a recess was
taken until 2:30.
The debate was resumed at the after
noon session and practically the same
ground was gone over again. The bill
was Indefinitely postponed by a vote of
18 to 11 and a motion to not concur In the
report of the commute was lost by a vote
of 20 to 11.
These bills were reported for the general
file by standing committee:
St. F. 18, fixing a penalty for Jury bribers.
8. F. 15. flxina- a Denalty for a Juror who
allows himself to be bribed.
8. F. 125, defining child delinquency and
fixing: the punishment for one who con
tributes thereto.
8. F. 10. to allow the Red Men to Incor
porate, was indefinitely postponed.
8. F. 12, to allow fraternals not already
Incorporated to Incorporate, was Indefinitely
postponed.
S. V. 169 and B. F. 157, both providing for
the construction of drainage ditches, were
placed on general file.
B. F. 21, was recommitteed to the Com
mittee. S. F. 7, by Sheldon, which provides thnt a
1-mlll . levy shall he made by the ptate
Board of Equalization to provide a fund

These bills were Introduced and read a
first time:

board of railroad commissioners consisting
of three members, to be paid 13,000 a year
each. The one receiving the highest vote
shall serve three years, the next two and
the lowest one year.
S. F. 197, by Meserve of Knox, defining
the boundary of Dakota county to conform
to the report of the Nebraska-Dakota
Boundary commission.
ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS OP HOISE
Considerable Dlsmsslon Over Asylum
Investigation.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 15.-Speolal Telegram.)
The house consumed nearly the entire
morning In a heated discussion of the
Jones resolution demanding an Investiga
tion of ths conduct of the former State
Board of Public Lands and Buildings re
garding the expenditure of the $100,000 ap
propriated by the last legislature for the
reconstruction of the burnt wing at the
Norfolk insane asylum. The resolution was
adopted by a vote of 60 to SO, and Jones,
Windham and Howa were appointed by the
speaker to conduct such Investigation.
A resolution by Ernst of Johnson de
manding an Investigation of the action of
the Lee Broom company In the alleged re
duction of wages paid to penitentiary con
victs was defeated.
The house adopted this resolution, offered
by Wilson of Pawnee:
Whereas, The president of the United
States has seen nt to honor the twenty
ninth session of the Nebraska legislature
by the appointment of one Of Its members,
Senator Eugene A. Tucker, to the supreme
bench of the territory of Arizona and the
same has been confirmed by the senate of
the United States; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the house of representa
tives of the Nebraska legislature does
heartily Indorse Senator Tucker for this
high and Important position to which he
has been appointed; that It congratulates
the people of Arlsona in thus" obtaining an
able and upright Jurist.

lution to th president and to each mem
ber of the Nebraska delegation In congress

In committee ot the whole In the after
noon the house recommitted for passage
the Warner uniform teachers' examination
bill, over which a brisk fight was made
yesterday and begun again today, with
Speaker Rouse on the floor and Warner
pitted against each other.
H, R. 110, th Junkln anti-trust bill, came
up for consideration. Junkln offered his
amendment exempting native Nebraska
corporations from the provisions of the bill.
Clarke of Douglas took exceptions to the
amendment and the bill on the grounds
that subsidiary corporations to such a ths
Standard Oil and the' meat trusts could not
be reached under the terms of the .act.
Junkln took an opposite view, as did
Perry of Furnas, who declared ths bill as
amended ought to be satisfactory to Ne
braska Interests.
"I refuse to be put In the light of oppos
ing this bill," said Clarko. "I simply of
fered my suggestion because I feared th
bill might not reach these corporations. If
the author of the bill Is satisfied with It.
I am. I am far the' spirit of the bill."
The amendment was adopted and the
committee reported progress on th bill.

viding for a depositors' guaranty fund cre
ated by a tax of H of 1 per cent of all

One day at breakfast ths waiter, knowing
his condition, suggested he try Grape

the food agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to sleep
peacefully at night, different than he had

food quieted his nervous system and mad

The house this morning defeated a reso
lution to investigate the Lee Broom com
pany's alleged action In reducing the con
tract price of convict wages. The resolu
tion was Introduced by Ernst of Johnson,
author of the binder twine plant bill, which
passed the house and which Ernrt declares
has been and Is being persistently fought
by the Lee company on the grounds that If
the twine plant Is established at the peni
tentiary It will work, to the detriment of the
broom company's Interests.
"These people have been doing and ar
still doing everything they can to defeat
my bill," said Mr. Ernst. "They should
not be allowed to lobby as they have been
doing. As to the price which .they agreed
to pay the convicts in their broom factory
it was 50 cents a day, as the contract pro
vided. The state furnishes the building
for the factory and feeds the convicts. Now
these wages have been cut to 42 cents a day.
I say this action In violating the conditions
of the contract should be Investigated."
When this resolution was' Introduced
Jackson of Antelope facetiously remarked
that It would be a good plan to appoint a
standing committee on investigation.
Representative Caldwell of Clay county
thought he had about completed his freight
rate bill, of which considerable has been
said, but has discovered that the bill will
have to be practically reconstructed. It
has been found upon comparing the Bill
with the present rates In force that a gen
eral Increase, rather than decrease Is made.
Caldwell claimed for his bill an average
decrease of 15 per cent, but upon learning
of the dlscrepenclcs, he says so many cleri
cal errors have entered Into the bill as to
make it necessary practically to draw the
bill over Junkln of Gosper, one of the com
mittee appointed under the Foster resolu
tion to draw a freight rate bill, points out
that from his town, Smlthfteld, to Omaha,
the present rate on wheat Is 16ty cents,
whereas the Caldwell bill makes It 22
cents; on corn the respective rates are 14
and 21 cents: lumber, 18 and 22 cents; cat
tle, 164 and 21 cents, and hogs, 22 and 2314
cents.
The senate committee on Irritation to
night listened to arguments for and aa-nlnst
Glffln's Irrigation bill. 8. V. fts. Th rvin,i.
of the bill argued that should It become a
law. the government Would take chnrar of
affairs of irrigation and rush the proposed
canals to completion and at the same
time furnish water at a reasonable
rate. H. G. Leavitt and others opposed
the bill, condemning the Intention of tho
government to Interfere with private en
terprise and promising the construction of
canals In the time specified In the Leavitt
pemlt. The committee reported no con
clusion.
As a result of a meetlns- bet ween rnilronri
men, members of the legislative commit
tees of the State Lumbermen's association
and the Coal Dealers' association with
Senator Fries, held In Omaha veaterdav.
the latter will not introduce his bill to
compel railroads to pay demurrage, which
tne railroads now collect from the ship
pers. Instead the railroads have promised
to grant relief to every class of shippers,
Including not only the lumbermen nnrl thn
cool dealers, but every other class of ship
pers. .
At the annual meeting of the lumbermen
held In Lincoln during the first few days of
January, and the annual meetin-vnf the
coal men held here about the same time.
each convention appointed a legislative
committee to secure better services from
the railroads. These two committees pre
pared the bill which they gave to Senator
Fries, with Instructions to hold until they
could get a conference with the
men. This conference was held yesterday,
witn tne result as stated. All the demands
embodied In the bill, which were for the
relief of all shippers, were promised by the
railroads. The agreement between the par
ties Is as follows:

The leading feature of the message was
that In order to maintain the Monroe doc

and Central American republics and those
of the West Indies should be paid and that
therefore It was In the Interest of peace
for this government to take over the con
trol of the revenues in Ban Domingo. This
subject of the Monroe doctrine Is discussed
at some length, especially as regards the
relations of the United States to the repub
lics of the south.
The protocol was not read at the execu
tive session, but was at once referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
Briefly stated, the protocol or treaty pro
vides that the United States shall collect
the customs revenues of San Domingo and
turn over to President Morales' government
a specified percentage necessary to meet
the expense of administration and disburse
the remainder among the foreign claimants.
The United States undertakes to respect'
the integrity of San Domingo and the pro
tocol or treaty. must be approved by the
United States senate and the Dominican
congress.
