(From a Staff Correspondent ) .
LiINCOlJ. March 16. (Special.) The

first time under the new order of time.
Only a small attendance was noted.
A lively debate ensued on H. R. 830, by
Voter of Cedar, and the ' bill finally waa
recommended for Indefinite postponement
in committee of the whole. This bill pro
vided for a codification of the Insurance
laws, appropriating. 83,00ft for tha work.

. Mc Mullen of Oaga(th5n offered' an amend
ment to make the ber cent of government
100 '. MoMullen called attention to tha fact
that the bill, and th organlo law of the
state provided for a representative form of
government for such organisations. He in
slated' this meant 100 per cent or nothing.

ernlng authority should not be less than 80
Der cent and that If this wars- raised many
lodges In this stats would have to change
their charters and suffer great injury,
i Windham of Cass defended the Wl sa it
vii introduced.
"I have my reasons to believe that life
Insurance Is ths most monumental rraua
ever perpetrated upon the human race,"
said Mr. Windham In the course or his re
marks. Hs said he would not take time to
state his reasons and added that every man
ought to hold life insurance for his family's
protection.
Me favored the 80 per cent proposition,
believing it safer than a mere majority or
100 per cent. Hs said neither officers nor
members should be given the advantage
over the other, and, as he thought, would
be the case If the government wss vested
in either a majority or 100 per cent of the
membership.
Wilson of Pawnee and Barnes of Doug
las supported the original bill.
Jones of Polk favored 100 per cent, which
was the only true basis of a representative
form of government. He thought the 80
per cent proposition would hava suited
old King George, but not the people of the
United States. Jones flung at Windham
the question: ' '"If you 'Really want the
officers to control, why don't you tome out
from under cover?""
With some feeling Windham replied:
- "I thought I had coma out Jrom under
cover, and 1 will say that '80 percent would
enable the policy holders to aontrol with
more surety and facility than 100 per cent."
"Do you want the polloy holders to con
trol?" asked Jones.
'. .."fee. sir, 1 do." replied Windham.. .... .
''Burns of . Lancaster thought if the gov
ernment 'of the United States could" m run
on a . 100 . per cent : basis" tftesfcMnsurance
companies could. He also, thought' It the
Ancient Order of United, Workmen, could
operate on a' 100 per cent ' basts .and the
Modern Woodmen on 88 -per cent, the other
otde'rs could do the same., lie,' said less
than 100 per cent would operate to crowd
out the old members after they bad borne
ths burdens all their Jives. '.' .
McElhlnney of Burt pleaded for the SO
per cent. ' - i -
-. Dodge Of Douglas Spoke for the bill as it
stands. During the course of his -remarks
be provoked Jones of Polk to ask:-
"Do you believe in compromising; a prin
ciple?" r '
"I do so long as human nature is in Its
present state of evolution. It Is only the
radical and theorist who" believes other
wise." '.'
A political tinge was then given to Mr.
Dodge's remarks. He biassed Jpnes with
his party (populist) as a theorist and rad
ical, and said the minority was a party of
promise and obstruction, " that advocated
purity and reform when not In power, and
gave neither when in power.
BurgesS of ISncaeter pleaded for the) 80
per cent basis as the -most representative
form of government. ; ' . . '
' Jones then rose and said:-' ' '
"I want to reply ta Just one question
raised by the gentleman from Douglas
(Dodge.) I protest against, dragging this
question Into politics, but If he has a chip
on his shoulder" and feels able to defend
the republican parly I will accept his chal
lenge, but this Is neither the time nor place
for that." . , ...
McMullen In closing the deA&Ae upbraided
Dodge for advocating conservatism and
compromise "when he introduced one of
the most radical measures before this leg
Islature." (Primary election bill reaching to
all officers.) ..'''".'
McMullen's amendment was lost 88 to 89,
Kyd's 86 per cent amendment was carried
44 to 89. ' - ' ' - -
' Burgess offered an amendment taking or
ders of less than 15,000 members from Under
ths operation of the act and it carried.
At 11:60 the committee of the whole arose
and reported progress on the bill. When
the house reconvened at t p. m.' in' com
mittee of the whole It resumed discussion
Of the bill. '
Clarke got in an amendment "to make the
per cent' basis 85. "
Dodge offered an amendment to strike
out the provision exempting fraternal in
surance orders from taxation. . Hs cited
ths paying building property of the Wood
men of the World -In Omaha as proof of
the unfairness of - such exemption. He
urged that to exempt such property was
radically unjust to other property owners.
Clarke and Andersen supported the
amendment.
Wilson of Pawnee urged that ths com
panies should be exempt under ths classi
fication of charitable Institutions.-
Coats of Holt asked Wilson if be also
proposed to exempt co-operative elevator
companies. , , ;
v Wilson contended a tax " of this -kind
would increase the assessment of the' policy
holders, most of them' poor working people,
that much.
Andersen disputed this point.
Douglas thought the provision would not
statu) the test of the constitution. He
thought these institutions oould not possi
bly be classed as charitable Instltutlona
Dodge's amendment wss carried.
On motion of Burns st 4:30 p. m. ths
bill was ordered engrossed for third read
ing. The house at 4:88 adjourned.

(From a 8taft Correspondent.)
LINCOUN, March 16. (Special.) A move
ment is on foot to put back. Into ths Omaha
charter bill ths provision to compel tba
street railway company to pass between its
tracks snd eigbteen Inches on either side
and it is not Improbable the movement will
be successful. The question of extension o
contracts for electric light and gas is also
under serious discussion and a proposition
has been made to the delegation to have
the council advertise for bids for light in
stead of a majority of the council extending
a centraet. This also may be Injected into
ths charter.
Senator Harsh, who. voted against 8. F.
88, the Qlffln Irrigation bill, takes excep
tions to the statements In several newspa
pers thst he went back on his promise to
Senator Olffln and thus caused the death
of ths bill. To a Bee reporter this morning
Senator Harsh said he had not told Senator
Olffln that hs would vote for the bill.
"I was opposed to the bill," he said, "be
cause I did not believe it was right for
any company to take over the projects or
property of a private individual and use
the same for ths same purpose. Had the
bill provided that the state could take over
this property It might have had some Jus
ties In it. I told Senator Qlffln that I
would help him get his bill on general file
and through the committee of the whole,
but I never told him that I would vote for
tba bill."
The Harsh elevator bill, which was rec
ommended for passage yesterday, did not
carry with It an amendment to compel rail
roads to run a sidetrack to elevators
erected off the right-of-way. This amend
ment was moved, but was lost. Tha bill
as It now stands compels railroads to grant
a site on the right-of-way for the erection
of elevators to have a capacity of 15,000
bushels and to -compel the railroads to
furnish cars to Independent shippers Just
ths same as to the larger elevator Interests.
This 1 the main object of the bill, to stop
discrimination between shippers in regard
to cars furnished.
Cedar county cltlsens come to the front
this morning with a peUtlon to the senate
to pass H. R. 49, the binding twine plant
bill. It was read and made a part of the
records.

Few People Know How Csefa! It Is In
Preservlasr Health aad leaaty.
Nearly everybody knows that' charcoal W
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise Its
value when taken Into tba human system
for ths same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that ths more yon
take of it the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs ths gases end Impurities
always present In" the stomach and Intes
tines and carries them out of tba system.
Charcoal sweetens ths breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
' Charcoal effectually Clears and Improves
the complexion. It whitens ths teeth snd
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic. .
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects ths mouth arm throat from ths poison
of catsrrk.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form a
another," but probably ths beat charcoal

ths nnest powdered 'willow charcoal, tt

or rather in the form" of Isrge, pleasant

with honey;
The dally use of these lozenges will soon

general health better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It la, that no possible harm can result from
their continued ' use,! but On ths contrary,
great benefit "
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal,' says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gss in stomach snd bowels,
and to clear the complexion snd purify the
breath, mouth and throat; I also believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, snd although In
some sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I get mors and better charcoal in
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges than In any of
ths ordlnsry charcoal tablets."

LITTLE HOPE FOR TREATY
Senate Will Probsblj Take No Action on
Santo Domingo Convention How,
TALK OF APPOINTING A COMMISSION
Attempt Wilt Be Mado Today
Secure Support ot Enoagh
Democrats to Make
Majority. ,.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Republlcan
leaders of ths senate are all at sea re
specting the sctlon sdvlsable to take In
regard to the Santo - Domingo treaty,
Recognising that the democrats control
more than one-third of the votes and that
two-thirds are required to ratify the con
ventlon, the sentiment of the republican
leaders is that the treaty should be with
drawn by the president. On this subject
the senate and the president do not agree,
and the idea prevails that after one or
two days more of Inconsequential discussion
the special session of the senate will be
allowed to adjourn without date and the
treaty lapse. But this plan Is not popular
in the senate and a way to avoid It la being
sor.ht.
Talk of Commission.
One alternative which In the discussion
concerning it was termed merely an excuse
for inaction. Is that Senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign re
lations, should offer a resolution directing
the president to appoint a commission to
make an investigation of the Santo Do
mingo debt and other questions Involved
In the protocol. This plan was sgreed on
tentatively ss the program most desirable
under existing conditions, especially as It
Is believed that such a resolution could be
adopted without debate. No decision was
reaohed which may not be changed, how
ever, and other plans have been suggested
or are brewing.
May Get Aid from Democrats.
Senator Newlands offered a resolution
calling on the president to forward to the
senate certain Information believed to be
In possession of the State department In
relation to the Santo Dominican affairs.
The resolution was not seriously considered
at the time and Mr, Newlands speech ad
vocating adoption received scant attention
Later In the day It was whispered that
If the resolution were adopted and the
democrats felt that If all the Information
obtainable would be given three or four
democratic votes might result. This would
ratify the treaty. The minority party, on
the other hand, took the position that no
Information could be forthcoming which
would change the principle Involved In the
treaty and that It Is Idle for the republicans
to hope for aid from that side. The resolu-
tlon nevertheless remains undisposed of
and there wss talk among republican lead
ers late In the day of adopting it and put
ting it to a test as a vote getter.
