ROITISE PROCEEDINGS OV SENATE
Vpper House Acta on a Large Number
of Bills.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINOOLN, March 16.-8peclal.)-The cry
of economy and of extravagance and over
burdentd taxpayers failed to frighten the
senate this morning Into Indorsing a bill
cutting down the number of district judges
from twenty-tight to twenty-two, and an
other measure to make the county clerk
the county assessor in counties of 20,000,
doing away with the county assessors In
these counties. This bill also provided for
the election of deputy assessors. On two
other occasions such a bin has been killed
by the senate and this morning the mem
bers were in no mood to rescind their
former ' action. Laverty's apportionment
bill took Washington and Burt counties
out of the Omaha district and was there
fore bitterly opposed by Gibson of Douglas,
who raised the proposition that Douglas
county probably would have a democratic
judiciary If the bill became a law. Wall,
Meserv and others fought the bill, while
Shreck led the fight for it. Both bills were
indefinitely postponed by the committee
of the whole.
After listening to the reports of standing
committees the senate resolved Itself into a
committee of the whole with Glffln of Daw
son In the. chair and passed on these meas
ures: 8. F. 266 Compelling the assessor to fur
nish a person assessed with a copy of his
assessment, which shall be sufficient notice

Equalization. Recommended for passage.

Its action this afternoon there will be no
more ball playing, no more fire crackers
and no more noise-making on Memorial day
and neither will there be any person hanged
in this state legally without the consent
of the governor. This latter because this

HOI SB PITS IN DAY ON CLAIMS
Result Is Only Trifling- Chance In
Asrsrreaate.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 16. (Special Telegram.)
One hundred members of the house of
representatives spent from about 10 a. m.
to 4 p. m. in consideration in committee
of the whole of the claims bill, whose
original total was about 40,000. After these
one hundred members got through amend
ing, debating and gesticulating, there was
just $250 difference in the orlgnol amount
and the amount of the bill as left by the
committee and ordered engrossed for a
third reading.
It was precisely this course through
which the salaries bill passed when It was
up for consideration in the house commit
tee of the whole.
The claim of $500 for personal injuries
to U. O. Sawyer was cut to $250. All the
other changes made by amendments were
restored and the claims left as they first
appeared when the bill was taken up.
At .the morning session this petition was
presented to the house: .
To the Honorable, the Members of the
Nebraska Legislation, Now In Session:
Whereas. Charges have been preferred
against Mr. R. E. Stewart, superintendent
of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
at Omaha, Neb., of gross Irregularities in
his official capacity, and violations of the
statutes governing said institution; and.
Whereas, Complaints have been made
of abuse and cruel treatment of the in
mates of said institution; therefore, we,
the undersigned citizens of Douglas county,
Nebraska, request your nonorame Dony
to take steps to secure a legislative in
vestigation of the charges, a copy of which
is hereto attacnea, ana maxe report ana
recommendations on the same.
The petition was signed by O. Cuscaden
and fifty-six other Omaha and Douglas
county citizens. It was referred to the
committee on other asylums.
Standing committee reports recommend
ing these bills for Indefinite postponement
were adopted:
H. R. 259. by Foster of Douglas Regulat
ing the sale of illuminating oil.
H. R. 109. bv Line of Jegerson To amend
the law relating to the letting of contracts
for the construction and repairing of
biid.es.
H. R. 159. by Marks of Fillmore To au
thorize county boards to buy material and
build bridges. ,
H. R. 299. bv Windham For the improve
ment of public highways.
H. R. 373, by Caasell of Otoe For the
regulation of sleeping car companies.
8. F. 228, by Good of Nemaha To amend
the law governing building and loan as
sociations.
H. R. 402, by Lanners or Tfeyer to pro
hibit the running of automobiles on streets
traversed by eitctrio cars.
H. R. 26. by Fltle of Douglas To provide
for a twelve-hour shift for South Omaha
firemen.
In committee or tne wnoie tnis morn
ing the claims bill, H. R..871, was taken
up. The claim of $500 to pay personal in
juries to U. G. Sawyer was stricken out.
Sawyer had been hurt while aiding in put
ting up a tank in the state capitol build
ing under Representative Burns as con
tractor. If the state did not pay the claim
Burns might have to. Burns earnestly sup
ported the claim against the state.
The aggregate claims Of the State Jour
nal company for printing were rejected.
The idea was to let the claim stand at
least until the present litigation for $S5,400
by the state against the Journal company
is settled.
The item of $922.48 for a burglar alarm
for the vault in the state treasurer's office
was cut to $500. Sheriff John Power's claim
of $2,075.80 for caring for state prisoners
was allowed to stand.
Mary M. Hoxle, matron of the Kearney
home under the last populist administra
tion, had a claim for $2,123.34 for services
in that position. Bcllly of Dodge moved
to cut out the claim and the motion was
lost.
A spirted discussion ensued over a com
mittee amendment to pay $1,500 to ex-State
Land Commissioner Follmer for Captain
Murphln in the Boyd county land case. The
Item was allowed.
Perry of Furnas stirred up another
spirited debate when he submitted an
amendment to allow the 8tate Journal's
claim, to Instruct the state auditor to issue
no warrant for payment until the present
litigation was settled and if the state won
then issue a warrant to apply on account.
The amendment carried.
The bill with these amendments was or
dered engrossed for third reading.

The following report was made by Chair
man Gilllgan of the committee on reform
schools on the condition of the Girls' In
dustrial school:
We found this institution In a process of
undergoing a thorough Tenovating. Tho
building, as well aa all of the furniture,
kitchen utensils and everything else owned
by the state, had surelv been badly neg
lected for the past two yenrs.
We are pleased to state that the governor
nas seen nt to make a change at this insti
tution. We think his Judgment Is good In
placing women at the head of this Institu
tion, and we think it nroner and wise and
should be continued.
I nder tho Dresent condition. It is surelv
discouraging to the new superintendent,
who has taken charge of the institution
with a full understanding of the work she
has before her. For Instance, the building
Is In bad condition, floors bad, building
sinking so badly that the doors will not
open. There Is not a whole piece of furni
ture in the building; the kitchen utensils.
man of them worthless, and the general
appearance of the farm building and yards
snows great negllgeno or tne previous
management.
The energetic manner In which the new
superintendent. Miss Lydla J. McMahon,
has taken hold of the work bids well for
the future of the Institution.
Tho teachers seem to be doing good work
In the Instruction of these girls. They take
kindly to the new order of things, and
there will surely be harmony between the
manngement and the instructors, which
will work to tho betterment of the Institu
tion.
Chairman Gilllgan of the committee on
reform schools made the following report
to the senate this afternoon on the con
dition of the industrial school at Kearney:
We found the Institution at Kearney In
much better condition than we had ex
pected. A wrong Impression has gone
abroad as regards this institution. Many
nink this is a second prison for boys, the
majority of whom are considered criminals.
It Is, In fact, a first-class Industrial school,
and every boy that Is sent to this Institu
tion who has any desire to Improve his
condition can do so, and when he leaves
the school, either by dismissal or parole,
can do so with a sufficient education and
enough knowledge of some trade to earn
for himself a good living for the balance
of his life.
We talked with some of the bovs at this
Institution and with one who left the
same day we did on parole, and they all
stated that they were glad thev had been
sent there, as they were compelled to ac
quire a knowledge o some trade and could
gain an education, the grades of which
were as hlKh as the ninth grade In oUr
public schools.
At this institution the superintendent, B.
D. Havward. and his assistant. H T.
Schaff, peem to be the right persons In the
right places, as well as the efficient corps
of Instructors.

ST. PETERSBURG, March J& (8:38 p.
m.) The semstvos, doumas, etc., through
out Russia are taking advantage of the Im
perial ukase Issued simultaneously with the
rescrlptlon "conferring upon individuals
and Institutions" the right to freely petl
tion the emperor through the committee
of ministers on all questions affecting the
welfare of the empire, to demand repre
sentation upon the commission which
elaborating the rescript. The Importance
of the ukase, which was largely overlooked
at the time, has now become a powerful
weapon in the hands of Uie liberals, who
contend that it necessarily carries with it
a complete guarantee of freedom of speech
and assembly, without which the right to
petition on general questions would necea
sarlly be a farce, and also freedom of the
press for the discussion of such questions
They now propose. In order to force a lest
of the government's sincerity, to openly or
ganlze clubs for the purpose of debating
political questions. The Moscow and St
Petersburg semstvos have already voted
strong resolutions demanding represents

Advise Men to Go to Work.
The strike situation seems' everywhere
to bo improving. The social democrat
hero have advised the strikers, who are
without money snd confronted with
starvation, to return to work, and less
than 10,000 workmen are now out. On the
other hand, the prospects of agrarian dls.
turbances on a large Scale are becoming
decidedly more threatening and are caus
ing the deepest concern. Many landed pro
prietors .ire afraid to go back to their es
tates. The movement has not assumed a
political phase, but Is in the old form of a
demand for a redistribution of the land
Agitators are shrewdly spreading tho re
port that the emperor has decreed such a
division, telling the peasants that the pro
prietors do not want to submit, and thus
setting them against the landlords "In the
emperor's name." The agitation has now
spread to Simbirsk province, where the
peasants are making ready to begin a dlvt
slon of the land as soon as the snow melts,
The terrorists have formally notified the
government that they will cease their activ
ity for a month and await the result of
the rescript.
A story is current that a plot In the
aristocratic page corps have been un
earthed, incriminating papers being dlscov

Two days later James H. Pcabody filed a
contest for the office, which he reluctantly
surrendered. On January 17 the general as

committee of twenty-seven members (eight

hear the evidence in the contest and re

were allowed the contestor and conteatee
for the Introduction of evidence and five
days additional were given the contestor
to Introduce evidence In rebuttal. The com
mittee consumed twelve days more in con

ports. These were submitted to the Joint
convention on March 3.
Fourteen republican members of the com
mittee signed a report submitted by Pea
body's counsel which found a majority of
2,280 for Peabody in the state by rejecting
the entire vote of 104 election precincts in
Denver and twenty-eight precincts in other
counties on the ground of fraud and con
spiracy on the part of the democrats. The
nine democratic committeemen presented a
report declaring that Peabody had failed
to prove his election and recommending
a dismissal of his contest. William II.
Griffith, chairman of the contest commit
tee, and three other republican members
reported that there was much fraud shown
in forty-eight precincts of Denver, but that

Konropatkhti Was Surprised
ST. PETERSBURG, March 16. The news
from the front Is again very serious. Field
Marshal Oyama ls striking another blow
at the defeated Russian army. In spite
of the exhaustion of his forces after the
long twelve days' struggle for Mukden he
has been able to organize a fresh turning
movement in the hope of completing the
victory won under the walls of Mukden.
Tuesday's attack upon the Russian ad
vance line at the Fan river it .is now evi
dent was only a feint, while Japanese,
columns were being .worked around to get
In position to fall upon the Russian rear)
and yesterday the blow was struck, a dis
patch to the Associated Press from Ban
toupu bringing to St. Petersburg the first
word that a battle was In progress north
of Tie Pass. That General Kouropatktn
was taken by surprise Is a fair Inference
trom the manner in which Tuesday night
he abandoned the Fan river positions, leav
Ing so hurriedly that he was again obliged
to burn his stores to prevent them from
falling into the hands of the Japanese,
Evidently the Japanese struck In from the
west. The pass Is practically the gate where
the mountains and Llao river meet and
It commands the whole country north
ward. With the Japanese In behind the
Russian army at Tie Pass General Kouro
patkin's position 1b extremely critical. Once
the Japanese are across his rear in force
Kouropatktn would, have to cut his way
out or surrender.
With the evacuation of Tie Pass Wednes
day night the Russian army abandoned the
last stronghold in southern Manchuria and
definitely turned over the section to tho
Japanese for the campaign of 1906. At least
no other strategy is possible for Kouropat
kih in view of his scanty supplies of am
munition and stores, the shattered condl
tlon of his army, and the wide envelop
ing movements which the Japanese have
continued almost without a stop since the
Russian defeat at Mukden. Nothing has
been heard 0f the part which General
Kawamura's army Is taking In these oner
at Ions, but Generals Nogl and Nodiu, oper
ating in the low hills of Tie Pass gorge,
were themselves sufficient to turn tho shat
tered Russian army out of the fortifications
Senator Morton Alexander, one of the ' ,,,,, t, k ...... , ... , "

signers of the majority report, also pre
sented another report which recommended
that the election of governor be declared
null and void and that the lieutenant gov
ernor be declared governor. He subse
quently amended his report by striking out
the reference to the lieutenant governor
and It provided simply for declaring the
office of governor vacant. Being asked for
an opinion on this method of settling the
contest the supreme court pronounced it
illegal.
Arguments by attorneys for the contest
ants before the joint convention were con
cluded last Saturday and action In the con
test has since been deferred from duy to
day, while efforts were being made to unite
the republicans for Peabody. The joint
convention consisted of ninety-seven mem
bers and the republican majority on joint
ballot was thirty-five.' Twenty-two repub
licans, however, were opposed to seating
Peabody snd for the remainder of the bi
ennial term and they finally forced the for

to Lieutenant Governor McDonald within
twenty-four hours after being seated.

fit of the Douglas County Union Veterans'
Monument fund at the First Congrega
tional church last night. The entertain
ment, which comprised a varied program
of vocal. Instrumental and orchestral
music, and recitations, was given under
the direction of Miss Edith Spencer and
was highly creditable to her managerial
ability as well as to the participants.
The program opened with a piano solo.
a waits from "Faust," by Walter I'm
stead. Miss Spencer followed with a reci
tation depicting tho voluble Mrs. Tubbs nt
a sewing spoirty. For nn encore she gave
an Imitation of the closing exercises of a
district school, showing the versatile char
acter of the entertainment In an amusing
and realistic manner. The Becker family
orchestra then gave a very pretty melody
of southern airs. The orchestra is com
posed of several members of the Becker
family, with the piano, trombone, cornet.
violin and flute as the instrumentation.
For an encore they gave an excellent rendi
tion of the "Star Spangled Banner." Miss
Spencer then followed with an amusing
sketch of "How Girls Study," and for an
encore recited a pathetic story of "Back
In the Old War Days." Miss Becker of
the Becker family orchestra then gave an
artistic violin solo, "Hearts and Flowers."
Mrs. Dale sang, very charmingly, "Were
I a Star" and "The Ring," and responded
with an equally pretty encore.
An attractive and well rendered number
was a little comic sketch, Dropping a
Hint," by Miss Spencer as Daisy Strenlow
and Mr. W. J. CDonnell as George Paxton
Mrs. Anna Yule, president of the Douglas
County Union Veterans' Monument assocla
tlon, read "A Tribute to the Common Sol
dier," In which she gave a history of the
proposed monument and of the struggles
for eight years that the association has
had In raising the fund for the monument.
The paper paid a touching tribute to the
sacrifices of the common soldier of the war.
Walter Umstead then gave another piano
solo, "A Concert Study," and the program
closed with a vocal solo, "God Bless the
Soldier," by Miss Spencer. Upon the con
elusion of her song, which was beautifully
given, Miss Spencer was made the reclpi
ent of a bouquet of carnations and roses.
The affair throughout was an enjoyable
success and the proceeds were very en
couraglng and will net a snug sum to the
monument fund.
FATE OF TREATY IN DOUBT
Probability that Senate Will ArJjourn
Without Taking Action.
SENATOR MORGAN MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE
He Alleaes 'that ' Convention Was
Kesotlated ' In- Interest of rn
York Syndicate that Is
Seeking; Concessions.
WASHINGTON. March R-Senator Mor
gan occupied practically the entire time in
the discussion of the Santo Domingo treaty
In executive session of the senate today. He
made a sensational speech In which he
charged that William Nelson Cromwell of
New York, who was prominently connected
with the s;ile of the Panama canal prop
erty to the United States, was the prime
mover In a scheme to Influence the United
States In the financial affairs of the Do
minican government. He asserted that
Mr. Cromwell was actuated by a desire to
frustrate a plan of a Mr. and Mrs. Reader
natives of Alabama, who are operating un
der the nnme of the Reader syndicate, to get
certain concessions from the Dominican
government and to promote the Interests
of a syndicate he represented,' which. It Is
alleged, holds a mass of claims against
Latin American republics. Including a large
part of tho debts against the Dominican
government.
The alleged disclosures were debated sll
day and the senate Is divided ss to whether
Senator Morgan made a case. The demo
crats Insist that he did, while the leaders
among the republicans declare that the
charges are made up of a mass of matter
which contained no conclusive evidence that
Mr. Cromwell used any undue Influence.
The speeches were made behind closed
doors. Senator Morgan held his audience
to the conclusion of his remarks. The ten
tative program of the senate continues to
be adjournment without date on Saturday
without permitting the Dominican treaty
to come to a vote. It Is probable that it
will be recommitted.
Teller Resolution Friday.
Despite the fct thnt there are not
enough votes for the ratification of the
Santo Domingo treaty, there was a general
return today of republican members who
have been absent. Senators Lodge and
Klttredge, who have been away for a
few days, were In their seats today, and
Senator Doillver Is within reach of a yote,
should he be called for. After the reading
of the Journal today Mr. Teller asked If
there were objections to consideration of
his resolution of Inquiry concerning Santo
Domlngan affairs. Mr. Cullum, who had
arisen to move an executive session, said
that an opportunity would be given tomor
row for the consideration of the resolution.
'I know that," said Mr. Teller, "but If
we'ro called to vote on the treaty this
week we would have to act without the
Information."
Well, I do not believe the information
we would get Is worth much, anyway,"
said Mr. Cullom. Mr. Teller said he did
not want the resolution to lose its place.
and It was agreed that he might call It up
tomorrow.
The senate then went Into executive ses
sion.
In the executive session today the New-
lands resolution was agreed to calling upon
the president, if not incompatible with the
public interests, to send to the senate cer-
aln Information In regard to Dominican
affairs.
The senate at 5:37 p. m. adjourned until
12 o'clock tomorrow.

The following
letter was written
by Mrs. Kellogg,
of 1621 Lincoln
Ave.. Denver,
Jolo.,to Mrs. Pink
'ham, Lvnn.Mass. :
Dear Mrs. Pinkbam:-
'For five years I
wss troubled with a
tumor, which kept
great mental depression. I was unable to at
tend to my house work, and life became a bur
den to me. I was confined for days to my bed,
lost my appetite, my courage and all bops.
" I could not bear to think of an operation,
and In my distress I tried every remedy which
I thought would be of any use to me, and
reading of the value of Lvdia B. Pink barn's
Vegetable Compound to sick women decided
to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I
baa little hope of recovery, and when I began
to feel better, after the second week, thought
It only meant temporary relief; but to my
great surprise I found that I kept gaining,
while the tumor lessened In else.
" The Compound continued to build up my
general health and the tumor seemed to be
absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor
was entirely gone and I a well woman . I am
so thankful for my recovery thst I ask you
to publish my letter in newspapers, so other
women may know of the wonderful curative
powers of Lydla . Pink barn's Vegetable
Compound."
When women are troubled with Irreg
ular or painful menstruation, weakness,
leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration
of the womb, that bearing-down feel
ing', inflammation f the ovaries, back
ache, flatulence, general debility, indi
gestion and nervous prostration, they
should remember there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E Pinkham'a Veg
etable Compound at once removes such
trouble.
No other medicine In the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement. No other medicine
has such a record of cures of female
troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine:
Mrs. I'inkham Invites all sick women
to write her for ad vice. She has guided
thousands to health. Address, Lynn,
Mass.
Health is too valuable to risk in ex
periments with unknown and untried
medicines or methods of treatment.
Remember that it is Lvdia E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound that is curing
women, and don't allow any druggist
tn tell you anything else In ita place.
