sentatlve Ferrer of Hall county, a native
of the Emerald Isle. Mr. Ferrar made a
very eloauent and Interesting address, In
troduclng the subject of the occasion and
paying pretty trlbuta to Old Ireland, re
counting briefly Us struggles and Its tri
umphs. The band thrilled the audience
with the "Star Spangled Banner," then
"Wearing of the Orccn," and the chair
man Introduced Senator Robert W. Waldo
Jones of Otoe county.
From a manuscript Senator Jones deliv
ered a very scholarly address upon Ireland,
Its sons and daughters, their Impress upon
history and other nations, the ordeal of
their nation's early hardships and recent
misfortunes and the tenacious loyalty to
those principles which make for a free and
Independent government..
Senator Epperson of Cass county was In
troduced. He apologized for reading his
speech, but said he had not been advised
that he was expected to speak until last
night. He did not know until then that
his pedigree had been approved.
As a son of the County Antrim Repre
sentative Wilson of Pawnee was Intro
duced. Mr. Ferrar, who In all his presenta
tions was exceedingly apt and happy, in
troduced Dr. Wilson, chairman of the
finance, ways and means committee, as
one of the greatest financiers of the state,
If not tho United States, facetiously, that
alone and unaided he had framed the ap
propriation bills against which even Mc
Leod of Sta.iton could not raise a finger.
Uurua Makes a Hit.
It needed no words from the chairman to
let the audience know that "Joe" Burns
of Lancaster was from Ireland, but the
ubiquitous son of Erin took Issue with Mr.
Ferrar when he said he was from the
county of Kilkenny, llkenrug the pugnacious
representative to one of the traditional cats.
Burns mado a very decldc-c impression with
his ready wit and called attention, seri
ously, to the fact that this was the first
time In American history, at least within
his knowledge, when the "legislature of a
great state had suspended Its grave de
liberations and assembled In Joint session
with the governor and lieutenant governor
to pay tribute to the sons of Erin, the
.Emerald isle and the patron saint of Ire
land." Next came Representative Scllley of
Dodge, whom the chairman gave a very
flattering introduction as the "sweetest man
In the legislature," to which testimony "the
ladles all would attest." Mr. Scllley was
from Londonderry. He made an Interesting
speech.
"The Adonis of the twenty-ninth session
of the Nebraska legislature," was the ap
pellation applied to Representative Mc
from Oage. Mr. McMullen was half Irish
Mullen, the handsome and eloquent member
and half Scotch. He paid a tribute to the
eminence and distinction which Irishmen
had achieved In statecraft. In war, litera
ture and other departments of life where
great deeds were wrought and fame was
Ijad.
"The head of the Russian csar's military
household," he said, "is an Irishman, and
if it were not for that fact I believe the
Russian army would have been crushed
long ago, and If the head of the active army
were Irish I believe Port Arthur would
never have fallen."
Then McMullon paid a compliment to
Representative Lee, the most active spirit
In the arrangement of this celebration.
"The Irish of Nebraska should be proud
of the patriot from Omaha," said he, and
then, pointing to Lee, sitting beside his
green-bedecked desk over which towered a
green potted palm, ho said, "sitting there
enshrined In green ar.d under the banner
of Anheuser-Busch."
Applause greeted this happy saying.
"Small of stature, but a giant In Imagi
nation," was the preface of Representative
Ferrar's Introduction of Lee. He referred I
to him as a son of one of the oldest faml- '
lies of the city of Limerick of the kingdom j
of Ireland.
Lee Extends Thanks.
"I want to say for us all that we thank
you with all our Irish heart," said Lee,
"for your presence and sympathy on this
occasion. The governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, members of the legislature and hun
dreds of people of the state have come to
pay honor to ray race, a race that never
has done wrong to any other nation, a race
than which no other has done more to ad
vance liberty and civilisation."
Lee then entered upon a very interesting
recital of the history of Ireland, tracing
Ha development through the various stages
of hardship, privation and often persecu
tion up to the present, when ho found it a
nation of hardy sons and beautiful daugh
ters, ready and able to give the beat service
of any people to their nation or the one
of their adoption.
"I will not attempt to recall ail the good
deeds our Irish people have done In and
for the United States" said Lee In closing,
"for all we possibly could do would never
pay for the blessings of liberty and peace
we have received under the Stars and
Stripe of proud and great and good Amer
ica." Enthusiastic appause, which continued for
some minutes, greeted Lee's eloquent
words.
The band Interspersed national Irish and
American airs and when Chairman Ferrar
hai thanked the assemblage for the at
tention and Interest It had given to the
proceedings the large hall and even the
long corridors of the capltol reverberated
with the thrilling strains of "The Star
Spangled Banner," and many scores of
voices re-echoed the soul-stirring words of
that Immortal song.
SOME LIVELY TIMES ' I SENATE
Debate on Cady Commission BUI and
Clash with Wall.
(From a Stan Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 17. (Speclal.)-Sheldon
of Cass made a magnificent effort In the
senate this afternoon to secure the defeat
of the Cady commission bill. He pointed
out what he considered the weakness of
the bill and declared It would not furnish
to the people of Nebraska that relief from
the railroads which they demanded and
to which they were entitled. He was ably
assisted by Wllsey, whose talk was short
but to the rolnt.
Cady, with splendid logic, defended his
measure and disputed the statements made
by Sheldon and gave him credit for being
sincere In his contention, though wrong.
The bill was recommended for passage. ,
The bill came up the first thing this
afternoon In the committee of the whole
and Cady moved the adoption of the
amendments which were agreed to last
night In secret caucus, which were adopted
without discussion.
Sheldon then opposed the bill. "I do not
care to oppose the amendments nor to
offer, any amendments," he said, "for my
Ideas are so di'rrent from the Ideas ex
pressed In this bill that any amendment
I might offer would not be accepted.
"I oppose this bill because I believe it
will be a stumbling block In tho way of
future legislation demanded by the people.
It is a verbatim copy of the act of 1887,
with the exception of these minor amend
ments. When that act was passed rail
road transportation was different from now.
Then there was some competition. Now
the roads are consolidated and there la no
competition. It has come to the time when
the state should have a say about rates.
It haa been held by the courts that the
government and the state have the power
to control rates. In the near future some
thing must be done. It has now come to
a question whether we shall make the
rates or whether we shall own the rail
roads. "My bill had for its object the control
of rates. It gave to the commission power
to do this. This bill does not do that, and
that is why I oppose It. U will be a hard
matter to repeal It and It cannot be en
forced. It has been tried and has never
given relief. It never will give satisfac
tion. "The house demanded of our representa
tives In congress to support Just, such a
measure as I Introduced. We even brought
back from Washington a candidate for tfie
United States senate to make him pledge
himself to support the president in this
matter. Now, why don't we do what we
have demanded that our congressmen shall
do?"
"I can't support that bill," vehemently
declared Wllsey, "if the bill la like the
act of 1887. I was In the legislature that
passed that act, and it never amounted to
anything."
Cady ably defended his measure and ex
plained there would always be a difference
of opinion as to democratic rule and re
publican rule Just as long as there were
parties of different poetical faith.
Senator Sheldon is sincere in nis con
tention," said Cody, "thuogh his methods
of bringing relief to the people might not
meet the approbation of this senate. That
Is no reflection on him. We will have to
trust to time to see which of these meas
ures would bring us the relief we demand.
We cannot, however, pass a law to take
from the railroads their property, for they
have property rights. The bill Introduced
by Senator Sheldon courts litigation. I
sincerely hope this bill will meet the de
mands. We expect during the next two
years to adopt a constitutional amendment
creating an elective railroad commission.
Then It will be neoessary to prepare a code,
and then if It Is necessary the next legis
lature can give to this board more powers.
After investigation I find the greatest com
plaint against railroads is poor service and
discrimination. If the board carries out
the Intent of this bill it will be all right.
It the board does not, it will not be the
fault of the law if relief 1 not afforded.
With the publlo sentiment behind this
measure it will meet the demand of the
people."
In answer to Cady. Sheldon declared the
Cady measure was drawn up to bring on
litigation. He stated the complaint went
to the board, then to the railroads, then
to the district court and then to the su
preme court. On the other hand he de
clared his bill gave the right of the com
mlsslon to go right Into the supreme court
and get a decision right away. If the de
cision of the board 1 unjust, he said, th
courts would give relief to the railroad a
He read from the railroad commission bill
which has parked the house of representa
tive to show that It gave to the commis
sion Just the same power that his Mil would
give the state commission.
Cady dented that the bill now In congrrer
had been drawn at the time the house had
Instructed Nebraska congressmen to uphold
the president In his railroad fight.
In conclusion Cady said: - "Under the
Sheldon bill you would arbitrarily name
the disposition of another's property."
The senate has reached that stage In the
game where It does not require a minority
party representation to stir up trouble. On
several occasions recently pleasantries have
been Indulged In between some of the mem
bers, but it took 'Wall of 8herman and
Cady of Howard to go clear to the danger
line this morning, however, without any
serious results.
During the absence from the room of
Senator Cady a motion was made and car
ried to reconsider the action of the Benate
on 8. F. 178, a fraternal Insurance bill,
and have It sent back to the committee for
specific amendments. When Cady returned
to the chamber he objected to the proceed
ings and moved a reconsideration of the
later action on the bill.
"I rise to a point of order," exclaimed
Wall; "the gentleman did not vote In the
affirmative and therefore he cannot make
the motion."
"How do you know I didn't?" retorted
Cady.
"You were out of the room; that Is why,"
replied Wall.
"Read your records and see If I was out
of the room," answered Cady.
The records could not be read because
there had been no roll call.
Wall then grew eloquently Indignant. "Am
I blind?" he exclaimed. "Is this chamber
in total darkness? Is there no light? Could
I not see that the senator was not In the
room? Have I no Benses?"
"I have sometimes doubted it," hotly an
swered Cady. And the senate chuckled and
looked in vain for. further Incidents.
Cady still Insisted on- his motion because
there was no record to show that he had
been absent when the vote was taken.
Lieutenant Governor McQilton then asked
Mr. Cody to Hate whether he had voted In
the affirmative and when the senator an
swered no he upheld the point of order
raised by Wall. Senator Williams then
moved a reconsideration and It was car
ried. The bill will come up for third read
ing. Following closely on this came, another
Wrangle between Wall and Cady over a
dispute about the rules. At the first of the
session a rule was adopted whereby a ma
jority vote could reconsider any action of
the senate. It was supposed at the time
that this would be interpreted to mean
seventeen votes and that Is what Lieu
tenant Governor McGllton held this morn
ing. However, on many occasions the roll
haa not been called and a majority of those
present have' reconsidered the action of the
senato. Explaining what had been done
Wall moved that this rule be changed so
that It would require a two-thirds vote of
those present to reconsider. He stated
that this had always been the rule until
this session.
Cady objected strenuously and held that
such a rule was not as safe as the majority
rule when Interpreted to mean seventeen
votes. Cady held also that any person
could protect himself by asking for a roll
call. The Wall motion was lost and the
majority vote to reconsider stands.
These bills were passed:
S. F. 171 The green trading stamp bill, to
prevent their use.
H. R. 157 The game law allowing an open
season for quail for two weeks In Novem
ber. . .
8. F. 284 The county engineer bill.
H. R. 107 was indefinitely postponed.
Giffin moved that when the senate ad
journed for the day It be until 2:30 Monday
afternoon. This carried and then Wllsey
tried In vain to secure the adoption of a
motion to hold night sessions beginning
Monday. It was ,'flnally carried to begin
grinding at 9 o'clock In the morning next
week.
In committee of the whole, with Senator
Giffln In the chair, the following bills were
disposed of this afternoon:
fl. F. 190-Land outside of city limits that
Is to be platted owner must show certirt
cate that no taxes are due, and land must

IlEPORT OX THE NORFOLK AS.YLIM
Committee Mildly Censures Methods
Pursued.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 17. (Special.) This
report was submitted by Jones of Polk a
chairman of the asylum investigating com'
mi t tee and placed on file:
Your committee begs leave to report as
follows, after reciting the act providing
tor the work at the Norfolk asylum:
The Board of Public Lands and Buildings
appointed a committee to Investigate tne
asylum systems, which committee, after
Investigating, reported in favor of the cot
tage sstem, which system was adopted by
said coaro.
The boars DUllt three cottages, at an est!
ivi Q t ml nrt.t f r-i-.r-, t'.Q I Jk I '''ll I.. I i I.
and an administration bul'd1;, at an es
timated cost of from $35,000 to $37,000.
While your committee was not able to
find the bids or any record of the same
under wnicn tne contract was let. it nntis
that these buildings were let to the Capital
City Brick and Pipe company as one con
tract lor tne sum of w,i.o.
The said contract provides that said com
pany should furnlsn all labor, tools and
material for the building of the admlnmna
tlon building and three cottages. Including
neaiing, piumoing, electric ugni wiring,
Said company agreed to pay $3 per thou
sand for all brick and 40 cents per cubic
root ror an range stone found on tne prem
ises and accepted and used In the new
hil(Mlt,oa .Inn .tint ..11 nnmrvon,, .t.A..-J
forfeit $25 per day for every day said
Duuuing was not completed after October 1,
1904.
That no part of what Is known as the
west wing was repaired, the walls of which
are yet In good condition.
Said west wing could have been repaired
so as to accommodate approximately HO
patients at an expense or not to exceed
$20,000. In the opinion of the committee, it
would have been expedient, practical and
economical for the board to have repaired
this wing, and the same should now be
repaired.
- At the same time the contract was made
the state owned a kitchen, boiler house
and engine room, all connected by tunnels
and pipes, througn which the food, water.
heat and light were conducted, with tne
basement of the prior buildings. Had the
board repaired the west wing and rebuilt
upon the old site these facilities could have
Deen used witn lime added expanue. On
the other hand, the plans adopted, the
necessity of connecting the tunnels with
the new building and the installation of
separate neating plants and tne diminished
capacity of the buildings has added greatly
to the expense of the state.
Granting the discretion of the board to
build as they have and granting that the
buildings are as good as could be furnished
for the money as claimed by it, It Is the
opinion of your committee that the exces
sive amount used In the construction of
the administration building and the need
less ornamentation of the cottages would
have been sufficient to have repaired the
west wing and thus have provided for ap
proximately 100 more patients.
Your committee Is of the opinion that the
board In falling to repair the said west
wing failed to that extent to comply with
the law and to that extent used the money
for a purpose not Intended by said act.
We find that there ha Deen paid under
said contract $81,679.10, leaving yet due $16.
295.90, less penalty, and that there has been
expenoea ior waier worKS, piumoing, etc.,
,04D r.
While there may be some Irregularities
your committee made no findings as to the
detail or the construction or quality of ma
terial used or price paid for same.
DOINGS OF THE LEGISLATORS
Move to Repeal the Maximum Rate
Law 'Falls.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 17. (Special.) The
maximum freight rate law will not be re
pealed by this legislature. The bill came
up for discussion In the committee of the
whole in the senate this afternoon and
when Sheldon moved that It be ordered en
grossed for a third reading Shreck, Bresee
and Cady wanted to know why It should
be repealed. Sheldon explained that he in
troduced the bill because he expected his
commission bill would be carried and there
fore there would be no use for the freight
rate law being upon the statutes. Inas
much a his commission bill had been
killed he withdrew his motion to advance
the repealing bill and it was Indefinitely
postponed.
The senate will get another whack at an
interurban bill like the one it killed the
other day. This bill ha already passed
the house and 1 now on general file In the
senate. It 1 claimed now the senate bill
was killed because of the house bill and
that this latter measure will be . passed
without opposition.
Tom Kennard this morning sent to the
members of the house a barrel of apples
with a suitable inscription on the top. A
runner went over to the senate and made
the announcement informally that the ap
ple were given to the house members with
the distinct undemanding- that not one of
the apples should tickle the palate of the
senate members. The house passed the
Kennard claim and the senate killed it, or
In other words virtue has its own reward.

ant governor by the elevation of Lieutenant
Governor McDonald to the office of chief
executive.
In Interest of Party Harmony.
In his letter of resignation, addressed to
Secretary of State Cowle, Governor Pea
body stated that he contested the guberna
torial chair, 'believing then, and fully con
vinced now," that he received a plurality
of the lawful votes cast for the office. It
was a matter of duty to the people of
Colorado and the republican party that the
contest should be prosecuted. He consid
ered the decision of the legislature seating
him a complete vindication of his course.
Continuing, the letter reads:
To my surprise and regret, I discovered
toward the latter stages of the content that
certain members of the legislature, elected
as republicans, entertained feelings of 111
will and dislike toward me personally.
I shall not attempt in this communica
tion to vindicate myself against what I
ooncelve to be a personal enmity, unwar
ranted by the facts, and ungenerous to n
degree. . suffice it to say thut 1 am now
painfully conscious of its magnitude.
I have always been, and will ever con
tinue to be, n faithful adherent of repub
lican principles and doctrines, ami I con
ceive lti to be the duty cf every true clti
sen to make personal sacrifices. If need be,
for the welfnre of the political organiza
tion to which he may belong.
Imbued with these sentiments. I am con
strained to the conclusion that the best
interests or the republican party of this
state will be subserved If I now retire to
private life, hoping therebv that my present
erracement as a political iactor in Colorado
wrll restore peace and harmony now so
sorely needed in the republican party of
this state.

The Flood Plays Many Pranks.
Rev. William Alexander Smith, prominent
as the author of many works on Oriental
Travel, haa written an entertaining ac
count of his experience In Kansas during
the floods in 1903. He Bays:
'We lived a full mile from the nearest
point of the Saline river, but when the
river overflowed it sent a flood clear into
our dooryard and we had to go about In
boats, many of our neighbors suffering sad
experiences both from loss of life ant
property.
'We wife and myself had an expe
rience quite unique and thereby hang a
tale. My wife for year past, and myself
a well, had been annoyed, pained and
worried so greatly at time by dyspeptlo
trouble as to take much of the Joy of liv
ing out of life.
'I had seen Postum so liberally spoken
of and we suffered so much from coffee
that on day, some months ago, I decided
to try some Postum for ourselves. Wo
liked its aroma and tasto, so we were sat
isfied from the start and we quit coffee.
'Gradually my digestive organs have
grown healthier and stronger, my siok
headache left and w both could eat al
most what we pleased without discomfort.
But waa this a result of the discon
tinuance of tea and coffee? '
"The flood came and found us out of
Postum and shut off from all supplies in
the village for 8 days. But we got hold
of some left Over tea and a little coffee
and thla we used a long as It lasted. This
was tho only respect In which our meals
were different from. What we had been
ualng, but a change came over us. My
wife thought I had more temper than
gruce, while I, in my turn, thought well,
never ini'id, only alia did not seem to ap
pear to be the Jolly creature she was be
fore flood days. She said she did not rest
well and that made her Irritable, and on
my part I suffered pains In my digestive
organ night and day that would have
ouused th meekest man 'to speak un
advisedly with hi lip.'
Well, the clouds cleared away, the flood
abated, dry laud appeared and we made
ready to visit the grocery store and my
wife suggested that we needed more
Postum. To tell th rest in a few words,
when Postum came back the domestic at
mosphere became more genial, In fact,
about normal. Our troubles and sick feei
ng disappeared and there can be no doubt
they were due to tea and coffee, for they
quickly yielded when Postum was used in
their ilaca
right and simple Justice. I waa advised by
Some friends whose loyalty was supreme to
hold the office by force; but I never for a
moment had an idea of accepting such ad
vice. 1 am for law and order In the real
ens of the phrase, and self-sacrlilce Is a
part of my duty In adherence to that prin
ciple. I simply submit to the outrage that
could not peaceably be prevented.

IDENTIFY B0DY OF WOMAN
Mamie Dennis Name of Young Woman
Found Strangled In Newark
Hotel.
NEW YORK, March 17. The body of a
young woman, found In a Newark hotel
last night with evidence that she had been
strangled, was today Identified as that of
Miss Mamie Dennis. She was a working
girl who lived with her relatives in Jersey
City, but had not been seen by them since
Wednesday morning, when she left home
ostensibly to go to work.
Two young men who were employed In
the hotel have been arrested and held as
witnesses. A search Is also being made
for the man who hired the room In which
the body was found. Miss Dennis was 22
year old. Her Identity waa discovered
by a detective, who submitted her shoes
and described the body of the girl to
tha shoe dealer, who had sold the shoe
to her. The shoe dealer Identified the body
and the Identification was confirmed by the
Dennis family. It will not be known
positively until after an autopsy has been
performed whether the young woman was
murdered.
An examination of the hotel register,
made by the police today, revealed the
fact that the man for whom they are
searching In connection with the young
woman's death, had visited the hotel sev
eral times within the last few weeks. In
each Instance the man was accompanied
by a woman and registered as "D. Ed'
wards and wife, Trenton." All the en.
tries were In the same hand writing
When this discovery was made tho police
at once arrested Theodore Young und Al
bert Young, brothers of Mrs. Sarah Young,
tho proprietress of the hotel. They are
held as witnesses.
Another examination today of the room
In which the body was found resulted in
the discovery of a drinking glass with a
sediment at the bottom. The sediment
will be subjected to chemical analysis. The
police believe that the girl's slayer used
a drug to Induce sleep that she might
not show resistance.
An autopsy which was performed on the
young woman's body this afternoon dis
closed the fact that death resulted from
natural cause. The marks on the neck
the physician round, were caused by a
pressure from the collar after death.
