$8,000, I aid not know that it was for $11,600
or I would have filed for $11,600."
"In your answer In the district court of
Hloua county. Nebrneka, you made this
statement: "The value of aald land has
been appraised pursuant to section 71, chap
ter lxxlll, compiled statutes of 161)9, at the
sum of $S,0C0.' On what fact or circum
stances do you base your claim?"
And Fisher's answer was:
"On the fact that I had an arrangement
that It was to be appraised for at least
'that. That la the fact."
"Do you mean to tell this committee that
you had an arrangement whereby this land
was to be appraised at a certain figure?"
"If the land was not to b appraised for
what It was worth I Intended to remove
the case to the federal court," etc.
Here was one question that the committee
propounded that stands out as a feature:
"Why did these heirs agree to allow you
to retain all of that appraised vatue of the
land In excess of 11,000 in other words, did
not their action In signing the power of at
torney, providing the land had been ap
praised at $11,600. give you a fee of $10,600
for collecting $1,000 for them?"
"It gives myself and the gentlemen with
whom I have to divide that amount of
money."
The committeemen asked several ques
. tlona regarding the extra figure '1" which
made the total $11,500 Instead of $1,600, but
Fisher persisted In saying the entire figure
was written at the same time.
The committee obtained affidavits of two
of the men who were appraisers of this
land, W. J. Raum and John Serres, and
under oath they state that the original ap
praisement was $1,600.
ROITINB PROCEEDINGS OF HOISE
Moat of the Time Pat la on. Appro,
torlatlon Bills.
(From a Staff Correspondent.) '. y
LINCOLN, March 10. (Special.) The
house adopted a motion, this morning that
when It adjourn today it be" until 2:80 p. m.
Monday. . Half a dozen members then aaked
to be excused for the afternoon session and
the speaker required as many motions and
a standing vote. Wilson of Pawnee, who
made the adjournment motion, said as the
general appropriation bin was coming up
today it waa bad for the members to be
xcused.
Committee reports were read showing
these bills Indefinitely postponed:
8. F T, by Bresee of Sheridan A Ju
dicial reapportionment bllL.
H. R. 4i;. by Bureaus of Lancaster Pro
viding for a weather signal service through
the state superintendent to warn teachers
and pupils of approaching storms.
' " On motion of Lee of Douglas B. F. 44, by
Gibson, the South Omaha sewer bill, waa
ordered for third reading.
With Jackson of Antelope in the chair the
house went into committee of the whole
and took up H. R. $47 and H. R. 302. the
deficiency and general appropriations bills,
on special order.
Clarke of Douglas made a fight for an
amendment providing tor a salaried deputy
game warden at Omaha, but failed. The
fusion members actively fought the propo
sition. "No show for Omaha," exclaimed Lee, in
good humor, aa Clarke's proposed amend
ment went the way of nearly all proposi
tions emanating from the Douglas dele
gation. McMullen of Oage submitted an amend
ment adding $4,000 for allowances to the
National Guard. He and Foater. of Douglas
spoke for the amendment and Hunker of.
Cuming opposed even the appropriation of
$10,800 made by the bill, because It was an
Increase over two years ago. Wilson, chair
man of the finance, ways and means com
mittee, explained the committee's action,
saying it seemed Justified by circumstances
aa presented by Adjutant General Culver.
McClay of Lancaster, Luce of Horlan.
Marks of Fillmore and Coats of Holt spoke
agalnat the amendment. It then went to a
vote and was carried, So to 44.
Next came a fight on the Item of $50,000
for a fireproof museum for the university.
McLeod of Stanton fought this Item and
led Chairman Wilson to remark:
"I cannot imagine what kind of a con
stituency the gentleman from Stanton rep
resents. If he is representing his con
stituency. He has fought every appropria
tion for the university, and yet he atood
up here a few minutes ago and voted to
add $4,000 to- the appropriation to maintain
a lot of tin soldiers."
Perry of Furnas made a strong and ef
fective plea for the item. He flatly contra
dicted McLeod's statement of the university
costing the state so much money. ,
"It haa never cost the state one cent," he
asserted, "and is the best Investment the
state haa."
McLeod's amendment to strike out the
$50,000 Item was lost by a vote of 21 to 42.
The appropriation for Junior normals waa
raised from $12,000 to $15,000.
The statutes appropriation goes to. Cob
bey instead of Wheeler. The house cut out
Wheeler and put in Cobbey.
The general appropriations, a total of
$1,800,000, approximately, was not vitally
altered.
The deficiency bill had an original total
of $40,166 and the committee brought this
up to $55,560, which the house did not
change.
Both bills were then recommended for
passage, the house having concluded con
sideration of them at 4 p. m.
H. Ri 235, by Perry of Furnas, the bien
nial election bill, malting the term of all
county , and state officers two years was
recommended for passage.
At 4:30 tho house adjourned.
SENATE INCLINED TO ECONOMY
Kills House Provision Raisins; O ra
cial Salaries.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. March 10. (Special) The
senate went on record this morning aa
absolutely opposed to any Increase In
salaries of state employes, but rather a
reduction, and expressed Its disapproval of
the liberality of the house In the matter
of allowing claims Indiscriminately, by In
definitely postponing, with only one voice
opposing, that of Mockett of Lancaster,
the claim of Tom Kennard for $10,000. It
refused by a vote of 10 to 15 to reconsider
its action of yesterday In turning down
the Good bill providing that all deputy
state officers be paid $1,600, and the senti
ment was expressed on the floor during
the debate that these salaries must con
form to the present statute.
The overwhelming sentiment In favor of
standing by tho present statute will In
sure the defeat of yie house salary bill,
which Increased the deputies' salaries to
$1,800 without regard to the statutes. The
action of the senate today meana that the
salary of the deputy secretary of state
and of the deputy state superintendent will
be reduced from $1,700 to $1,600.
The defeat of the Kennard claim' bill
demonstrates that the senate Is safe and
sane insofar as economy goes. Incidentally,
the action of the judiciary committee In
recommending the bill for Indefinite post
ponement has nipped in the bud what

would have been probably one of the most
beautiful aa well as one of the most In
terestlng fights of the session. The bill
was committed to the Judiciary committee
when according to the general rules of
such proceedings It should have gone to
the committee on claims. Senator Cady
la the chairman of this latter commute
and he waa bitterly opposed to the allow
ance of the claim, having causod Its defea
in 1W. He served notice on the Judiciary
committee that should the , committee
recommend the bill for general file h
would make the fight of his life to have
It sent to his committee. The judiciary
committee, however, saw the Injustice of
the claim aa well aa did Henator Cutv unit
It came back with a recommendation that
suited all concerned except the man most
Interested.
The claim was for $10,000, which Kennard
said waa due him because of a contract
he had entered Into with the state by order
of aJoint resolution of the legislature "of
many years ago to collect money due the
state from the national government for
the sale of public lands. The contract
provided that the money due the state by
reason or tne sale of Indian lands was not
to be considered. The supreme court held
that the money Kennard collected waa
school money which would have been paid
to the state without any one lobbying for
u. -or tms reason the senate, like three
other legislatures before It. refused to allow
ine claim.

TOLSTOI ON GOVERNMENT

He Condemns the Mar la the Far

Aaalast People of
Rassln,
LONDON, March lo. Count Tolstoi, In a
letter to the Times of London, which will
be publlshod tomorrow morning, says that
be regards not only the Russian govern
ment but all governments as ' intricate in
stitutions sanctified by tradition and cus
tom for the purpose of committing by vio
lence and Impunity the most dreadful so
cial crimes." Ha therefore thinks the ef
forts of thdse who wish to improve social
life should be directed to the liberation
of themselves "from the governments
whose futility In these times is becoming
more and more obvious." This object could
only be attained by the unique means of
religiously and morally perfecting separate
Individuals. The idea la prevalent that the
evil accomplished by the "present partlcu
larly coarse, cruel, stupid and deceitful
Russian government" Is due to the fact
that the Russian government is not or
garilsed on the model of other existing
governments, "which are similar Instltu
tlons for the committal of all kinds of crimes
against their peoples." For the purpose
of correcting this, the people had used all
the means at their disposal, "imagining
that an. alteration, of the external forms
might alter the essence."
Such activity. Count Tolstoi says. Is In
expedient and unreasonable tn that the
people assert rights which they do not
have. Violent strife by "external means
on the part of an Insignificant handful of
men against a powerful government de
fending its life is only comical from the
point of view of the possibility of success
and piteous as regards the unfortunate,
misled Individuals who perish in the un
equal strife.
Internal Affairs In Russia.
"The Russian government haa no right to
claims, which do not appeal to the great
moss of the people. One hundred million
of the peasantry need nothing of these de
mands, their one desire and expectation
being the liberation of the land from the
law of property or common ownership of
land, matters which are entirely Ignored In
liberal positions snd speeches and only la
cldentally alluded to In the revolutionary
socialistic program."
Concerning the representation demands,
Count Tolstoi says!
The people in great mass still believe in
autocracy, DOtn oy reason of Inertia and
because they think that onlv throuah au
tocracy and through the csar can thev at
tain this eommunallzatlon of land. The
present actlvitv la Dernlclous because tt
distracts the people from the moral per-
iruiing oi separate inaiviaunis, wnereDy
only can he obtained the objects toward
which those who are fighting the govern
ment are striving.
One cannot nartlclrlate In nnlltlrsl action.
which draws the people Into Intrigue, sub
terfuge, strife and spite extending to mur
der. Political action not only fails to con
tribute to the liberation of men from the
violence of governments, but on the con
trary renders the people more Incapable of
that vigor which only can liberate them.
L.ieni-minaei people. uagea suaernciany.
especially those upset by the butchery In
St. Petersburg, thought the chief cause of
hone events lay In the despotism of gov
ernment, thinks that If the autocratlo mon
archical form of the Russian government Is
replaced by a constitutional or republican
one, thep such events could not be re
peated. ,
War Is the Greatest Crime.
Tlnf.' .'the eWef nalnmitv from which the
RuRslnn rjeoDle are suffering la not St.
Petersburg everts, but the reckles disgrace
ful, cruel war instigated Dy a score of im
moral individuals. Tho was which already
has destroyed hundreds of thousands of
Russians Imposes an enormous tax upon
the labor of future generations. That which
took place in St. Petersburg on January 22
Is' nothing in comparison to what la taking
place in Manchuria.
In conclusion, Count Tolstoi says that In
America, France, Germany, Japan and
England the pernicious character of the
governments, while not so marked, those
belonging to those nations point to events
in Russia and naively imagine what is
done in Russia Is ' done only In Russia,
while they enjoy complete freedom and
need no Improvement of their positions,
"But," he adds, "they are in the most
hopeless state of slavery the slavery of
slaves who do not understand they are
slaves and pride themselves on their posi
tion as slaves. Tha ,fact Is that every
coercive government is in the essence a
great and unnecessary evil. Therefore the
aim of the Russia! and of all the men
should not be to replace one form of gov
ernment by another, but to free themselves
from every government and abolish it."

W'hea Coffee Is Dolus; Harm.
A lady writes from the land of cotton
tha results of a four years' use of the
food beverage hot Postum Coffee:
"Ever since I can remember we had
used cOffee three times a day. It had a
more or less Injurious effect upon us all,
and I myself suffered almost death from
Indigestion and nervousness caused by tt.
I know It was that, because when I
would leave tt off for a few days, I would
feel better. But it was hard to give it
up, even though I realised how harmful
it was to ma.
"At last I found a perfectly easy way
to make the change. Four years ago I
abandoned the coffee habit and began to
drink Postum, and I also influenced the
rest of the family to do the same. Even
the children are allowed to drink It free
ly as they de water. And tt has done us
all great good. I no longer suffer from
Indigestion, and my nerves are In admir
able tone since I began to use Tostum
Coffee. We never use the old coffee any
more. We appreciate Postum aa a' de
lightful and healthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the best
of nourishment as well." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
