HOISB TAKES IP RAILROAD BILLS
All bat One Amendment to Commod
ity BUI Voted Down.
(From a Staff Correspondent.) ,
LINCOLN. March 21.-(Speolal.) Con
vening at 9 a. m. the house resolved today
Into commltteo of the whole, with Jackson
of Antelope as chairman..
8. F. 13, by Laverty of Saunders, which
was recommended for Indefinite postpone'
ment yesterday, was recommended for pas
sage, after a reconsideration of yesterday's
vote. This bill seeks to prevent the illegal
expenditure of public funds.
House rolls were then taken up. H. R
328. by Gllem of Red Willow, the famous
bill to allow Russell F. Loomls to perfect
his title to the quarter section of land he
homesteaded In Red Willow county in 1S72,
was the first bill recommended for passage.
Gliem and Perry of Furnas both spoke for
the bill. Among other bills recommended
for passage were:
H. R." 305, by Zeulow of Colfax Provid
ing for state-ownership, control, construc
tion and repair of all bridges 600 feet or
more Ion on or part of a public road.
H. R. 309, by Foster of Douglas A Joint
resolution for a constitutional amendment,
providing for the safe Investment of the
public school funds,
When H.' R. 308, by Foster, came up,
Foster explained the bill and moved Its
recommendation for passage. It was a hill
authorising Omaha, Lincoln and . South
Omaha, by constitutional amendment and
again by permission of the legislature, to
make their own charters. Perry spoke
against the bill on the ground that it would
cost J30.000 to submit- a constitutional
amendment and that this ! was not impor
tant enough i tt' Justify this expense, ,an
McM"ullen of Gaga favored H. R. 41B. by
himself, and: Its counterpart."' "Senator
Thomas' bill, providing that all cities over
6,000 could make their own charters, upon
constitutional amendment and without hav
ing to ask the legislature's, permission each
lme. He moved . the indefinite postpone
ment of the Foster bill and after Lee of
Douglas had spoken Foster seconded the
latter's motion and it carried. . ,
Another debate came up on H. R. 183, by
FUhbank of Clay, to compel the Nebraska
Telephone company to connect up with cer
tain Independent lines seeking to enter
Omaha. Fishback moved It , be recom
mended for passage. Lee denounced the bill
as unjust-and pointed out that it nad been,
rocommended for Indefinite postponement
practically by a unanimous,. vote of. the
committee Cassell of Otoe spoke for the
bill. Marks of Fillmore spoke against It
and, as was done xmce before, Fishback,
for the Bills-Woods people, offered another
amendment to the bill which made It prac
tically a new meaaura, entirely. . Lea raised
this point, of order, bat Jaokson, as chair
man, overruled the point. Lee asked the
question if a member held stock In one of
these independents could he, or would he,
vote on 'the bill. Jackson said he could.
Flshback's amendment carried.
Clarke offered a motion that the bill be
be repommltted to the .committee on tele
phones and telegraph and' reported . back
by that committee within twenty-four
hours. He made a forcible argument for
the motion,, showing that the amendment
was entirely dissimilar from the original
bill. He said It was not fair to take action
without giving the Nebraska Telephone
company a Just hearing.
Ferry spoke against the. motion, saying
twenty-four , tours at this stage of the
session was a long time and he declared
the bill would never again be. before this
house. v .
Clarke's motion was lost, 87, to 42. -On
motion of Fishback the . bill was
recommended for passage.
At 2 p. m. the house reconvened and
passed two bills. H. R. Jl, the claims bill
appropriating approximately. $10,000, and H.
R. 302, the deficiency bill, appropriating ap
proximately 156,000. "
On motion of McLeod. the house , then
went Into committee: of the whole to con
sider "all railroad bills. '
H. R. 351, Warner's bill, compelling rail
roads to grant equal terminal and ship
ping facilities ,to, elevator companies, was
the first bill considered. . and. without con
test it was recommended for passage.
U. R. 236, the commodity rate bill. In
troduced by Foster of Douglas, Davis of
Buffalo and Junkln of Gixiper, was taken
up. It provides a 10 per cent reduction on
twenty-seven articles of commerce. Fos
ter made a speech for the bill.
At this time Dodge of Douglas asked If
MeLeod's motion Included his railroad com
mission bill. McLeod said it did not. Dodge
appealed from the ruling of the chair and
Insisted on McLeod putting his question.
He showed that the house was breaking
Its rule in Jumping Caldwell's bill over
his on general file. He had .waited 'days
and did not want to be treated this way.
After Dodge persisted in his appeal from
the chair McLeod put the question and was
sustained.
Then came the onslaught on the com
modity rate bill. The first amendment was
Introduced by Mllllgan of Dixon. He pro
posed to cut out hay, lumber, brick, ce
ment, fruits and potatoes from the opera
tions of the bill. The friends ef the bill
said on some of these articles the railroads
admitted their rates -were excessive. Still
Jackson of Antelppe offered an amendment
to cut out horseo, ' cattle, hogs, mules,
sheep and soma of the others. ,
' Douglas pleaded to have hay left In the
bill, since In certain parts of the state the
rates on hay were practically an embargo
now to shippers. , He referred particularly
to Rock county farmers. Douglas also ar
gued that all commodities, and not only a
tew,, ought to be-Included if any hoiisontal
reduction Is to be made.
Jackson took for his text "Live Stock."
He said the complaint stockmen are mak
ing la not on rates, but on service. He
elaborated on this theme at considerable
length, saying if the rate on stock was
reduced It merely would serve to cripple
the railroads In giving service and at last
Injure the shipper.
Caldwell of Clay' feared the 19 per cent
reduction Idea would not prove constitu
tional. He preferred his maximum freight
bill.
Pea body of Nemaha, urged the house to
bear In mind that some freight rate legis
lation la expected from this legislature,
and he hoped this bill would pass.
Davis of Buffalo made an explicit speech
for the bill, showing by comparison that
Nebraska rates wore much lower than in
Iowa. ' .........
Again Jackson - put -in a few remarks
aaalnst th Kill . '
Roberts of Dodge quoted some figures to
show that Nebraska farmers paid no more
on certain grain than Iowa farmers.
"Where did you get those figures?" asked
Jones of Polk.'
"They are official, I Ihlnk," replied Roh
erts.
"That is not my question," rejoined
Jones. "Where did you get those figures?"
"The figures are here and If you can dis
pute, them, all right," said Roberts.
"Well, If your authority la good," re
torted Jones, ' "you will not , be afraid to
reveal It."
"Well, I am. the authority,," finally said
Roberts. j
"Oh, well, "f exclaimed Jones.
When Jackson offered his amendment to
cut out some, of the most vital articles In
the bill Jones created laughter by exclaim
ing, "Please leave In turnips."
Burns of Lancaster then made a blg-to-do
over the argument raised . by Jackson
that the live stock men are not complain
ing at rates, , but at service. He related
several thrlfling stories about how ship
pers had , howled for better service and
never whimpered over rates.
, "I notice , fellows sticking their gib In
here now," said Doran of Garfield, a stock
man, "who never had a word to say be
fore. I don't take any stock in this service
plea."
SclIIey of Dodge, answering Foster's
question if railroads had not been raising
rates, took the position that railroads had
a right to raise rates.
McMullen thought that as the railroad
committee had put In six weeks on the bill
the house ought not amend it "with one
wave of the hand." He wanted the bill
scted on in connection with the Dodge com
mission and Caldwell bill.
Windham coincided with this view and
hoped not a single article would be cut out
of the bill.
Ftrrar of Hall said while arguing the
Increase in rates it would be well to re
member that wages paid by railroads also
had been heavily Increased.
Again Jackson put in a few remarks
against the bill.
Mllllgan withdrew his former amendment
and offered one cutting out beets, potatoes,
turnips, onions, hay, brick, stone and
cement. The amendment was lost and
Jackson's amendment was also lost.
Caldwell then offered an amendment to
make the level reduction 20 Instead of 10
per cent. He said he had become recon
ciled to the belief that whatever, if any,
rate regulation was obtained this session
would come through the commodity rate
bill, so he Wanted to Increase the reduction.
Douglas read records showing the first-
class rata in Kansas to be 62 cents and
the same in Nebraska, the distance being
100 miles. He said the other rates run
about the same.
JOnee of Polk read figures from official
records showing that from his section ' of
th Jstate"the railroads had Increased their"
rates, on grain In the. last few years.
Caldwell closed the debate, appealing to
the house to stand by its pledges and vote
for railroad legislation.
Caldwell's amendment was lost.
Perry offered an amendment to include
wire fencing and nails in kegs. The
amendment -carried.
Llvengood of Franklin in an attempt to
ridicule the bill offered an amendment cut
ting out all other articles named in the bill
and Inserting barbed wire.
The amendment was lost.
All the amendments being lost, Windham
of Cass took the floor to discuss the orig
inal bill. He said he represented neither
the railroads nor anti-railroad element. He
was here simply to do the best he could
for all Interests. He said he believed there
Should be some railroad legislation, but
was not prepared to say what it
should be. He thought there was room for
Improvement in freight rates. He had
sought to obtain that knowledge that would
Justify him In voting for rate regulation,
but had. failed to secure Information that
would warrant him In voting for any of
these measures pending before the legisla
ture. He said the events of today proved
the house was not prepared to act on this
matter. He thought the only way out of
the quandary was to pass the railroad com
mission bill. Then you will have men paid
and qualified to solve this question.
Jones of Polk took issue with Windham
on the point that the house should be
agreed before proceeding to enact railroad
legislation. He thought the house was able
to pass on this matter now. '
Burns of Lancaster pleaded for the in
definite postponement of ail rate bills.
McAllister of Deuel then made a speech
against the bill, trying to show that any in
crease in rates would be unfair to the
railroads.
Jackson of Antelope made . a prolonged
A QOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
Abont -Bleod Pwrlners" mm "Toales."
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed In
but one way, and that is. from wholesome
food properly digested. There Is no other
way and the Idea that a medicine In Itself
can purify the blood or supply new tissues
and strong norves Is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or
Indigestion is a germ disease, or that other
fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses
to digest food can be made to do so by
irritating and Inflaming the bowels by
pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indiges
tion, soar stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, because ttrey furnish the digestive
principles which weak, stomachs lack, and.
unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase
Is supplied, It is useless to attempt to cure
stomach trouble by the use of "tonics,
"pills" and "cathartics" which have abso
lutely no digestive power, and their only ef
feet la to give a temporary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle In Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest a.000
grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and
experiments have shown that they will do
this In a glass bottle at proper temperature
but of course are much more effective In
the stomach.
There Is probably no) remedy so univer
sally ased as ' Stuart's Tablets be
cause it is not only the sick and ailing,
but well people who use them at every
meal to Insure perfect digestion and assim
ilation of food. '
People who enjoy fair healtth take Stu
art's Tablets as regularly as they take
their meals, because they want to keep well
prevention Is better than cure, and Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they
prevent Indigestion and they remove It
where it exists. The regular use of one or
two of them after'' meals will demonstrate
their merit and efficiency better than any
other argument. '
and impassioned appeal against the bill. .
Junkln then took the floor for the bill.
He said the only, question was, "Are. the
rates too high or not?" He said there 'was
no question of the legislature's right or
power or ability to deal with this ques
tion. He then entered thoroughly Into rail
road reports to show that the rates are too
high: His figures .were taken into consid
eration with gross and net earnings. These
reports carried Nebraska and Iowa, show
ing that Nebraska rates were the higher.
He showed net earnings per capita In
Iowa were $8.75 and In Nebraska 115.40; per
family in Iowa, 3S; Nebraska, $77. Jun
kin's Speech was clear cut and convincing
and dealt squarely with the subject, being
devoid of subterfuges.
Dodge then moved that when the com
mittee arose it report progress on the lll,
and the motion carried..
The house at. 6 p. m. adjourned.
FIRM FOUNDATION
Nothing Can Undermina It In
Omaha..
People are sometimes alow to recog
nize true merit and they cannot be
blamed for so many in the past have
been humbugged. The experience of
hundreds of Omaha residents expressed
publicly through newspapers and other
sources places Doan's Klduey Pills on a
firm foundation.
Mr. W. C. Thomas of 1120 Martha
street, a traveler for the Fremont Brew
ing Co. of Fremont, Neb., says: "The
constant, Jarring of trains when I travel
affects trly back and I think causes the
kevere pains which catch me In the
loins, eapeclally mornings, when I have
awful work to get on my shoes. I
thought sometimes my back would
break. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised I got a box at Kuhn & Co.'s
drug store, corner Fifteenth and Douglas
streets, and before using them many
daya the palna disappeared and I was
finally cured. I never Intend to bt
without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
In my grip. I cabnot speak tod highly
of this valuable preparation."

DOIXGS OP THE LEGISLATORS
Democrats and Popnllata Hold m Con.
ference. -
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 21. (Speclal.-The nine
fusion members of the house and M. P.
Harrington of O'Neill, held a meeting at
me Lincoln hotel tOdiacus the possi
bility of railroad legislation and fusion of
the populists and. democrats at the next
general election in Nebraska. In a nut
shell, to, take the word of one of the
fuslonlsts who attended the meeting,
"nothing was done." That Is to say, noth
ing was done that would Insure either the
passage of the Bedford-Harrington rate
bill or the 'amalgamation of the two no.
lltical parties In Nebraska. The fact of
the matter Is the democrats manifested a
strong feeling" of hewing to the line in' the
next election, letting? the populiats keep on
tneir side or the road. The desire for union
seemed to como from the fusion side. Like
wise when Mr. Harrington proposed that all
nine rusionists stand or fail as one man
on the' bill he drew and Mr. Bedford In
troduced, in the house the democrats
balked .and expressed, a preference of not
binding themselves , on this particular
measure. They preferred to be free to
support whatever, anti-railroad measure
promised greater chances of success.
However, Representative Jones, populist,
said after tne meeting, "We put ourselves
on record as favoring some sort of good
railroad legislation." He said It was not
the purpose to work for the Bedford bill
to the exclusion of the measures introduced
by republicans.
Thus the last chance for the manufacture
of fusion campaign thunder by this means
appears to have fled.
In the discussion on the Fishback tele
phone bill this morning it developed that
fully twenty-five members of the house
were stockholders In various Independent
telephone concerns In whose Interest this
bill was recommended for passage.
The $5,000 pot alleged to have been raised
to secure favorable action by the senate
committee on privileges and elections on
the house bill to provide for biennial elec
tions, may . have been raised, but It is not
at all probable that it will be used on the
members of this committee. This commit
tee is composed of Thomas of Douglas,
chairman; Williams of Wayne, Beghrbl of
Lancaster, Nlelson of Cuming, Saunders of
Douglas, Cady of Howard, Shreck of- York.
The two Douglas members are opposed to
the bill. In' the meantime, however, the
measure is still somewhere else than In
the hands of the committee, Chairman
Thomas stating this morning that.lt had
never yet been given tq him.

the small army of volunteers after thirty
Seven hours of constant toll.
Although the police and Medical Exam
Iner Pains feel sure that they have re
moved from the debris all remains which
were not reduced to ashes, a second searc
shortly be instituted to satisfy relatives
and friends of the victims.
The little band of persons who have be
sieged the morgue since the first body was
taken from the ruins reluctantly turned
their steps homeward tonight, satisfied that
all that remained of, missing ones occupied
the pine boxes Inscribed "unknown." At
midnight for the first time sirrce yesterday
Dr. Paine and his assistants remained alone
with the unidentified dead.
The revised list as given out by the po
lice at 11:30 o'clock tonight was as follows
Bodies recovered, 55; Identified, 14; miss
lng, 45; reported as escaped, 283.
It now seems probable that but fourteen
bodies will be burled with their. Identity
positively established. An inquest will be
held shortly.
The day saw the Mrst movement on the
part of workmen In trades similar to tha
pursued by the victims of the disaster to
raise a relief fund for the bereaved faml
lies. It is expected that several thousand
dollars will be subscribed.
Today the first of the funerals of the
victims was held. Governor Douglas being
among those who followed the body to
the grave. The funeral was that of Jerome
Mayo, a finisher in the factory and brother-
in-law of C. L. Fish, a close friend of the
governor.
. Memorial Services Thursday.
At the request of Mayor Keith clergy
men of ail denominations assembled in the
aldermanlc chamber In the city hall this
afternoon for the purpose of arranging
for a public service for the victims. It,
was aeciaea that the service should be
held at 2:30 p. m. Thursday In the City
theater. Two clergymen, one a Catholic
and the other a Protestant, will speak
An overnow service will be held at the
Prortor Congregational church at the samo
hour. After theso services the remains
of the unidentified dead will be taken to
the Melrose cemetery, where Interment
will be made.
Tonight numerous meetings were held
by fraternal and labor organizations to
offer assistance to the city officials In
relieving the distress of bereaved fam
Hies. .
Tonight the police were Informed that
Louise and Badle Hickey, who had been
numbered among the missing, were at
their homes uninjured. John Lundell and
his son, who have been missing, have been
accounted for. The younger Lundell was
so daxed by his severe injurlea that he
did not recover his senses until tonight.
His rather Is at the hospital suffering from
a Droken hip and severe burns. The con
dltlon of both men is serious.
At the -morgue tonight It was stated
that the Identification of bodies as those
of Hannah Llndberg and Harry 8. Hall
was notabsolutely' certain' and these two
were later classed among the missing. -
At 10 o'clock tonight the revised figures
show:
Number of bodies recovered, flfty-flves
identified dead, fourteen; missing, forty.
nve; reported safe, 268.
Find Remains of Engineer.
A more careful search of the boiler pit
in Which the remains were found today
resulted in the finding of a watch, the
rubber' heel of a shoe and a torn piece of
clothing, all of which, showed to Mrs
Rockwell, the wife of the engineer, were
Identified by her as belonging to her hus
band. Then the police found a part of a
chair with a pelvis of a human frame In
it, from which they inferred that Rockwell
was sitting beside his boiler when the
explosion came and was killed instantly.
The police are satisfied that the report
yesterday that the engineer had been taken
out alive was due to the confusion of Rock
well with another employe.
With reference to the cause of the blow
ing up of the boiler Joslah F. Gibbs, as
sistant engineer at the Brockton sewage
station, who was with Engineer Rockwell
at the Grover factory five minutes before
the accident" occurred, said today that
when he left Rockwell the steam was

Omaha ' machinists and electricians are
enjoying a treut In the way of an exhibi
tion at the Omaha Electrical works. Mr.
F. L. Orr is explaining and demonstrating
an automatic device for gas and gasoline
engines. There Is no question but what
the gasoline engine, with recent improve
ments, has firmly established itself as a
practical motive power, not only for auto
mobiles, but for all places where cheap
power Is required. One of the objectionable
features, however, has been the Inconven
ience of etartlng the engine. Anyone who
has tried to "crank up" an automobile or
start a heavy stationary gas engine will
reallso the Importance of Mr. Orr's In
vention. It is the same old story of
the difference between the old way
and the new way. Like all great Inven
tions, Mr. Orr's device Is simplicity itself,
and the great wonder Is that no one has
thought of It before. You simply press the
button and the engine starts, seemingly of
Its own accord.
The popular Idea of a gasoline engine
has been that It Is apt to' buck at the start
like a range broncho, but when thoroughly.
warmed up would settle down to a steady
lope and do good work. But how to start
It that was the rub with the engine, as
well as the broncho. It's different now.
When supplied with the Automatic Starting
Device the gasoline engine Is "city and
country broke," and the machinist, as well
as the ordinary operator, has faith In its
good intentions.
This apparatus can be used on any gas
engine. It consists merely of a pressure
tank about the size of an ordinary bucket.
hlch Is filled by forcing' air through a
car.bora tor or. small tank containing gaso
line. This pressure, tank contains a con
stant supply of gas or vaporized air. When
the engine Is to be started all that Is neces
sary Is to press an ordinary push button,
which charges a small electro-magnet
ope. ilng the valve from the pressure tank
and throwing a charge of the compressed
gas Into the engine cylinder. Releasing tho
push button closoa the valve of tho pres-'
sure tank and also produces an rlcctrio
spark, Igniting the gns if! the engine cyl
inder and the start is made without a kick
or a cough.
All this work Is done automatically by
the engine Itself and all that 1b required of
the operator Is to press the button.
Manufacturers are already wide awake to
the advantages of this device. For auto
mobiles the button will be placed at a con
venient point on the seat within easy, reach
of the driver.
It Is especially adapted to freight ele
vators, which cun be more cheaply oper
ated by gasoline engines than hy any other
power. DecauRe me engine wouia noi d
running except when the clvator was In
us. The push button would be on the ele
, vator and the engine started from any
point in the building.
Country grain elevator men are especially
Interested, as no power would be required
except when the farmer arrived with his
load and then the engine and all machinery
could be started without leaving the office.
A pump In the pasture field a mile away
can be started by the push button In the
farmer's kitchen, or a float In the water
tank will start and Stop the engine Just as
needed.
An Infinite number of uses have already
been found for the automatic starting de
vice, which will be on exhibit for a week
at the Omaha Electrical Works,' corner of
11th arid Dodge sts. ' "
i Patent has been applied IMf-ii thhr'and

of Perclval, and Mr. F. L. Orr of PerclvaL

Springs, Ark., where. Mr. Gleason had been

He was about 52 years of age and is sur

remains were brought here today for interment.
