speaker. "We want this legislature to
consider the fact that we have in South
Omaha a total assessed valuation of prop
erty Of 130.000,000. This bill, If passed,
would greatly reduce this. Were this bill
to pass we would haVe'two conflicting ele
ments brought together and this would
result In great Injury to both cities. We
know there would be no chance whatever
under this bill for annexation, for the
people of South Omaha would never vote
for It, but the Injury would be done by
placing the law on the statute books. Kill
the Lee bill, amend the Omaha charter
bill so as to leave no chance for annexa
tion, gentlemen, and you will enshrine
yourselves In the hearts and affections of
the people of this fair city."
' Lee Hakes Retreat.
Lee at this Juncturo arose and said that
while consolidation was In harmony with
the trend of the times and for the good
of the Interests involved, perhaps the time
for the consolidation of the two cities was
not opportune and that he would be the
lost to try to force on South Omaha what
Its people did not want.
"Indeed," he declared, "I will be the first
to bow to the will of my friends and neigh
bors and will not push the bill."
This remark was greeted with" loud and
enthuslastlo applause.
"I think, however," continued Lee, "that
some of the statements about the Injury
to property interests are exaggerated, but
be that a It moy I see that It Is not the
time to try to enact such a law. No mat
ter when we have this consolidation we
want it only at the bidding of the people
of both cities. Friction from either side
would be fatal to the objects sought and
so I see this Is not the time for it. When
South Omaha and Omaha are married we
want a gay honevmoon and we have seen
enough today to convince us that we would
not. have such a festival now."
Again was Lee greeted with 'great cheers
when be gave utterance to this speech. Lee
stated after the meeting that his commit
tee, cities and towns would report back this
bill , for indefinite postponement.
Firemen's ' Bill Killed.
Tho bill to divide the hours of labor for
the Omaha fir omen Into twelve-hour shifts,
Introduced by Barnes, was killed in the
house today by a vote of 42 to 34.
End of Terminal Tax Bill.
The house put a final end to the terminal
taxation bill which Omaha would like to
have seen passed this morning. With the
death of this Important measure Omaha
' members who. have had little they asked at
the hands of the legislature are convinced
that Omaha will have to begin a systematic
campaign of education out In the state
If It la ever to secure the passage of such
a law as this. The fact Is something will
need to be done if Omaha ever gets any
law through the legislature which it really
wants. Lee came very near hitting the
head of the nail today when in reference
to the terminal taxation bill he said:
"Whenever the rural members of this
house tlnd out that Omaha wants anything
they line up against that proposition as if
their lives depended upon it. The rural
members are always very Impatient when
it comes to a matter affecting Omaha or
union labor, both of which they Invariably
oppose."
Actios on Railroad Bills.
The house railroad committee tonight
agreed to recommend H. R. 371, by Bed
ford, and H. R. 306. by Caldwell, maximum
freight rate bills, to go on general file to
gether. It will now rest with the house
whether they are to be advanced and con
sidered with the Foster-Junkin-Davl com
modity bill. Representative Caldwell ap
peared before -ahe committee In defense
of his bill. The committee recommended
for postponement H. R. 800, by Jones, the
fusion antl-paas bill, also Representative
Harmon's nntl-pass bill, together with Har.
mon's maximum passenger rate bill. The
committee als decided to postpone the
Berge-Harmou anti-pass bill which Mr.
Harmon first Introduced and In defense of
which Mr. Berge appeared before the com
mittee three weeks ago.
KOI TINE BE SATIS PROCEEDINGS
Bill Introduced at Bequest of the
Governor.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 0. (Special.) Upon the
personal request of Governor Mickey this
morning the senate allowed the Introduc
tion of the county engineer bill, which the
governor vetoed because of defects. In the
bill recently passed which Invalidated it
Accompanying the bill were these two let
ters from the governor giving his reasons
for vetoing the measure and for asking for
the introduction of a similar bill:
A careful study , of 8. F. 8. entitled "A
bill for an act to amend section chap
ter xll, Cobbey's Annotated Statutes of Ne
braska for the year l&H," Impels me to the
belief that It Is unconstitutional, for the
following reasons:
1. It Is an amendatory act and does not
contain a provision for the repeal of the
original section.
2. The bill purports to amend a particular
section of the statutes, but the new pro
visions are not germane to the original sec
tion. The original section relates alone to
boundaries and monuments, while the new
matter In the amendment relates to the re
pairing and construction of bridges.
On account of these vital detects I re
turn the bill to you without my approval.
In view of the fact that the objections to
8. F. 8. which I have this day returned to
your honorable body without my approval,
are purely technical, and In view of the
further fact that the subiect matter of
said bill represents much labor on the part
of the legislature and Is of great Interest to
many citizens of the state, It seems to me
fitting that whatever merit the bill may
carry should not be lost to the people
whom It afTects because of said technical
defects, occasioned by careless prepara
tion. At the urgent request, therefore, of
senate members I feel It my duty to ask
for the Introduction and consideration of
the accompanying bill, which Is In sub
stance a reproduction of 8. F. 8, but which
Is so drawn. I believe, as to obviate the
mistakes in Its predecessor.
The salary bill Introduced by Good of
Nemaha to make the pay of all deputy
state officers $1,800 a year was killed, the
vote being 15 to 13, not a constitutional
number having voted in the affirmative.
This bill was Introduced in order to place
all the deputies on the same salary, at
present the deputy secretary of state being
limited to $1,600 by statute.
Wllsey made an effort to get his railroad
bill, providing that freight trains shall run
at a speed of ten miles an hour, from the
hands of the committee to which it was
recommitted yesterday, but was unsuccess
ful. Wllsey's motion was td have the com
mittee report back the bill without amend
ment. A number of the senators explained
their vote by saying they would be In favor
of a motion to have the bill reported back,
but they were not in favor ef Instructing
the committee not . to amend -the bill. The
committee had previously amended the
measure so the speed rate should be seven
miles an hour and the matter came up for
consideration In the committee of the whole
and was recommitted to the standing com
mittee. S. F. 87, providing for :the payment Of
costs in misdemeanor cases, was passed at
the morning session.
8. F. 176 and S, F. 184 were recommended
for passage. The former fixes the length'
of a school term according to the number
of pupils, making the shortest term five
months. 8. F. 184 provides that when a
district falls to levy a tax for school pur
poses the same may be done by the county
clerk upon the recommendation of the
county superintendent.
Most of the morning was spent by the
senate In the committee of the whole, with
Shreck in the chair, In a discussion of 8. F.
112, which was finally recommended for
passage. The bill reduces the salary of
bank examiners from $1,800 to $1,600. An
amendment by Ollltgan was adopted to
cause the discharge of examiners when a
bank falls within six months after having
been reported solvent by the examiner.
Gibson started the debate by moving an
amendment to make the salary $1,800. Most
of the senators took a shot at tho bill one
way or the other; GUllgan, however, was
tho most earnest In denouncing the pres
ent manner In which the bank examiners
attend to their duties. He cared little for
the amount of the salary, he said, but he
wanted bank examiners to protect the de
positors as well as the banks. He recited
that in his community there had been five
bank failures, one for $100,000, which had
paid 10 cents on the dollar. He had learned
from bankers that In nine cases out 'of
ten a bank examiner never spent more
than three hours In checking up the books.
He recited that when the reports of banks
were received by the State Banking Board
they were locked In a vault and It Was
Impossible to get any information from
the board. Only yesterday he said he had
asked to see some records from which to
get some facts and the officer Jn charge
of the office of the board refused him the
privilege.
On motion of Gibson of Douglas the
senate took a recesa for ' thirty minutes
this afternoon, marched to the house and
listened to the protests of citlsena of South
Omaha against the so-called annexation
bill.
After recess the senate resolved Itself
Into a committee of the whole, with Gibson

In the chalr.rTheee bills were recommended
for passage:
8. F. 174, allowing cities of the second
class to make a ley for the purpose of
Improving the roads leading into me towns,
upon the petition of a majority of the tree
holders aiong the road, and to make the
poll tax W nen paid In cash.
B. F. loi, to compel ruiirottds to carry
stock at a rate of eighteen miles an hour
on the main line and fifteen miles an hour
on branch lines and to allow the roads
to designate three days in the week as
stock snipping days for the branch lines;
the law not to apply on branch roads other
than on these three days. This designation
of shipping days was sn amendment put
on by Gould the introducer of the measure.
When the committee arose Harsh moved
that the senate not concur In the amend
ment, for the reason, he said, persons
living on the branch lines would be seri
ously handicapped. He said the commis
sion men would know Just what days stock
was to arrive In bulk and could more easily
manipulate the markets. For that reason,
and the further reason thnt he believed
the railroads would only rui stock trains
three days In the week he wanted the
amendment killed. Gould said he had
talked to many Cattle shippers about the
amendment and they were for It. The
amendment was adopted.
8. F. 213, providing for county courts to
settle up estates when deceased had left
no debts, with the concent of the heirs and
without an administrator, was recom
mended for passage.
8. F. 206. providing that the State Bosrd
of Public Lands and Buildings shall have
the authority to rent or lease buildings
owned but not used by the state, was
recommended for passage.
8. F. 164. to make the statutes covering
filing of transcript of Judgment from the
federal courts conform to the federal stat
utes. 8. F. 258, by Thomas, for a constitutional
amendment to allow all cities of 6.000 and
over to make their own charters, was
placed; on general file.
TERMINAL TAX KILLED I HOISB
Douglas Members Ask to Have Bill
Go on File.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March (Special Telegram.)
A lively but one-sided fight on the subject
of terminal taxation was precipitated In
the house this morning soon after that
body convened. The revenue and taxation
committee's adverse report on H. R. 295,
by Clarke of Douglas, the terminal taxa
tion bill, came In with other committee re
ports. Immediately Clarke moved that the
report on the bill be not adopted now, but
laid over until next Tuesday, or as soon
thereafter as could properly be taken up.
His object was to give time for further
discussion on the bill end enable the Doug
las county members to assemble their argu
ment for the bill. In speaking to his mo
tion Clarke took occasion to urge the need
for such a law as this bill contemplated,
He pointed out that while the railroads
owned 15 per cent of all property In cities
and towns they paid but $.2 per cent of the
taxes, that they derived greater protec
tion from city Improvements than most
other taxpayers and yet failed to pay their
Just share of these public burdens. After
expatiating for some length on the merits
of the bill he pleaded with the house to
give those who favored It a fair chance to
be heard.
But the die was cast, for no sooner had
Clarke taken his seat than half a dozen
members from rural districts Jumped to
the floor demanding recognition. McElhln
ney got the floor and the Burt county man
launched Into an attack on everything per
taining to the subject of terminal taxation.
He wanted the committee report adopted
without delay. And then came Cunning
ham from Hamilton, who also could see
no reason why the friends of this bill
should be given a chance to be heard.
Following Cunningham came Douglas,
chalrmnn of the committee that had killed
the bill, refusing It a hearing on the floor
of the house. He thought there was no
reason why the matter should be con
tinued. Hoare of Platte came then with
his bit of talk against Clarke's motion,
asking the very unique question. "Whence
comes the demand for this bill? Does It
not come from Omaha, and Omaha alone?"
Assuming that the rest of the cities and
towns over Nebraska having rallrpads had
not awakened to their own Interests.
Lee of Douglas then made a very forcible
and logical argument for the adoption of
the Clarke motion, urging the importance
not only to Omaha but every Incorporated
city and village In the state of this law.
He said It was a shame for the house to
refuse to let so Important a matter go
before It for a full and free discussion.
But argument was like water on a duck's
?fi,ni When the ro was coed on
McEIh nney's motion as an amendment to
Clarke s to adopt the committee report
the vote stood 65 to 24. Lee had told the
house which had Just witnessed the on
slaught of the country members that "Our
rural friends are very Impatient whenever
the Interests of a city or a union labor
organization are at stake."

BUTTER AGAIN IN EASY REACH
The High Class Creamery Product
Can Be Bought Today for 28
Cents Per Pound.
Butter, -which was once esteemed a de
sirable tablo accessory, Is again permissi
ble In the homes of well regulated families.
This morning the, creamery product may
be obtained for 28 cents a pound, or Just
10 cents less than was possible two week
ago. The price fell off 7 cents In the last
four days. Th'ls is why butter promises
again to appear1 on Veek days as well as
Sundays. "'
The warm weather is accredited with
forcing dovtfn-trie 'cost, for It has enabled
the production'' trt more cream. The farmer

the way around the ring,' but the plain
citizen with the trained' palate will be the
gladdest. A few , weeks back the retail
price charged for the beet grades of cream

the cost Is about normal again, and prob

8T. PETERSBURG, March 10.-3:06 a. m.
St. Petersburg this morning knows, little
more of the outcome of the battle of Muk
den than it knew Wednesday night, and
little more of the fate of General Kouro
patkin's beaten army. It Is not even known
whether the railroad has been cut and
connections destroyed, though It is be
lieved that the reported destruction of the
lino by General Oku's army refers to the
damage Indicted on Wednesday, which was
not serious, though traffic was twice inter
rupted. It is evident, however, that the
Japanese are pressing closer to this Indis
pensable line of retreat. Their shells oc
casionally cut the wires of the telegraph
lines paralleling the railroad and civilian
line men are displaying no less bravery
than their soldier associates by climbing
the poles and replacing the wires under
fire.
Russians Ask Armistice.
LONDON. March 10. In the lobby of the
House of Commons last, night it was ru
mored that General Kouropatkln had asked
for an armistice, but the report could not
be traced to any reliable source.
In the opinion of English military critics
General Kouropatkin's forces are doomed
to complete disaster. Careful study of all
the avenues of possible escape and the
disposition of the victorious Japanese
armies leads to the conclusion that the
best he can hope Is to save a mere rem
nant of his army after devoting whole
divisions to slaughter. Much Importance Is
attached to General Kawamura's myste
rious unlocated army, which is momentarily
expected to complete the closing of the net
around the defeated host by appearing
somewhere In the extreme east in the neigh
borhood of KIngfan, thus blocking the sole
remaining route, Ylngfan, to Tie Pass,
through Wanklako Pass.
The Dally Telegraph, in an editorial ar
ticle well reflecting the general opinion here
Sflis:
The greatest battle In the world's history
promises to end In the world's greatest
military disaster. Even If Kouropatkifl
succeeds In snatching half his host from
the terrible ring of fire, how can Russia
hope to send out another army to replenish
his ranks. The sword Is being wrested
from Russia's fumbling hands. Kouropat
kin's disastrous defeat ought to mean the
end of the war unless the czar's blindness
Is Incurable and he waits for a further
sledgehammer blow to fall, Inevitable as
those of fate.
The correspondent at Toklo of the Dally
Telegraph says on official authority that
fully 200,000 Russians are enveloped and
he hears that Russia's central army Is
almost annihilated.

CATTLE ARB IN GOOD SHAPE
South Dakota Losses So Far Reported
Less Than One Per Cent.
PIERRE, 8. D., March 9. (Specials
Leslie Dan Blerwugen of the Blerwagen
Cattle company reports the loss on cattle
last winter In that section at less than 1
per cent, and that the cattle are in the
best of condition, unlike last spring, when
they were barely able to move around when
the snow disappeared.
Foreman Ed Delahan at the Ash ranch,
on the Moreau river, reports thut every
thing in that section of the state has pulled
through the winter In fine shape and that
winter losses are not worth considering.
Henry Ecovllle, In from Stearns, on White
river, says the loss In that section will not
be 1 per cent, as the cattle had good feed
on the "prairie, all winter, and start the
spring In good flesh. This ' condition, he
reports, to be the prevailing one all the
way In from his place. He reports, though,
considerable loss on lower White river,
where a number of cattle were started Into
the winter In poor flesh, and in a section
where feed was short; but that so far as he
has learned that Is the only section of the
whole range In which there has been any
loss worth considering ss such.

PARTNERS' TROUBLES AIRED
Former Firm of South Omaha Plumb
ers Consume Several Days In
Trying Case In Court.
After devoting the time since Monday
at 2 o'clock to hearing the evidence In a
case growing out of a partnership deal,
Judge Estelle was able to Instruct the
Jury at 4:30 thursdav afternoon. ThA mu
Is entitled George E. Beck against George
u. jjare ana involved a matter of about
$1,500, more or less. The parties to the
suit are brothers-in-law, who were in
partnership In the plumbing business In
South Omaha In 1901, and who afterward
dissolved.
Several attempts to get the case Into
court failed1 because of defective papers,
the defendant being now a resident of
Oklahoma territory. "Finally," said Mr.
Dare Thursday afternoon, "I got tired of
having the thing hanging fire and con
cluded to make this fight, feeling that I had
not been trested right and had lost about
all that I could lose In that deal."

Signs of Disease
The First Signs of Disease are a Poor
Complexion, Weakness, Em acta
tlon and Lack of Vitality.
The first sign of returning health Is
increase of flesh, strength and vigor.
This weakness, emaciation and lack
of vitality simply means that certain
substances, which go to make up the
blood and nerves, have become ex
hausted; and to renew flesh, musclo
and strength, these substances must
be restored. Dr. Chare's Blood and
Nerve Food is composed of the same
kind of substances that are lacking in
the impoverished blood and nerves
when in poor health, and abundant In
the rich juices that flow through the
system when in perfect health. If peo
ple would take this food occasionally
when in health to keep jthelr blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells of sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented. It makes sick
people rail, puts solid flesh and mus
cle on thin people, gives strength to
weak people, restores the lost vitality
to nervous people, imparts the tint of
health to pale and sallow people. It
adds years to life and puts life into
years. Price 50 cents. Book free.

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.
It Is easy to keep well if we would only
observe each day a few simple rules of
health.
The all Important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this it Is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or
bill of fare. Such, pampering simply makes
a capricious appetite and a feeling that
certain fuvorlte articles of food must be
avoided.
Prof. Welchold gives pretty good advice
on this subjoct; he says: "I am 8 years
old and have never had a serious illness,
and at tho same time my life has been
largely an indoor one, but I early discov
ered that the way to keep healthy was to
keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran
crackers or dieting of any sort; on the con
trary I always eat what my appetite craves,
but dally for the post eight years I have
made it a practice to take one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
and I attribute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular daily use of
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and wtre not a secret patent
medlolne, but contained only the natural
digestive, peptones and diastase, and after
using them a lew weens i nave never
ceased to thank him for his advice.
1 honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well nnd strong."
Men and women past fifty years of age
need a safe digestive after meals to In
sure a perfect digestion and to ward off
disease, and the safest, best known and
most widely used lsx Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found In every well regulated
household from Maine to California and In
Great lirttaln and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way Into popular favor.

a weak stomach a fifty cent package will
often do fifty dollars' worth of good.
