Through the efforts of Stste Senator Saunders of this city the general assem bly shortly before adjourning passed a bill providing for the exemption from taxation of the reserev funda ot fraternal Insurance societies, me dim passed me senate last Wednesday, but only passed the house on Friday shortly before the adjournment of the general assembly. Council Bluffs was particularly Interested n the passage of the bill, as It has en tertained strong hopes that if the Wood men of the World or the Royal Highland ers decided to move out of Nebraska on account of the taxation of their reserve funds, they would locate in this city. Senator Saunders succeeded In securing the passage of every measure he Introduced at the recent session of the general as sembly In the Interests of Council Bluffs. The bills in question were those trans ferring all title the state might have in Lakevlew park to the city of Council Bluffs, the two bills permitting cities of the slxe of Council Bluffs and upwards to Issue bonds for the purchase of water plants and providing that In the event of the foreclosure of a mortgage on the water plant by the city the franchise would inure to , the person or persons securing the plant under such foreclosure and the bill above referred to exempting from taxation the reserve funds of fraternal Insurance societies.

Hafer. Perallar Election Tangle. Owing to the biennial elections and the fact that the terms of office of the members of the Board of County Supervisors are for three years, a somewhat peculiar condi tion exists and at the general election this fall all five members of the board will have to be elected, although two will not take office until January 1. 1908. The terms of Messrs. Brandes. Bullis and Spencer expire January 1, 19u7. they having held over one year owing to there having been no election In 1906. while al though the terms of Baker and Sets do not expire until January 1, 1W8. their succes sors will have to be elected this fall, as there Is no election next year. The same situation will present Itself two years from now said the next general assembly will hnve to enact another law to properly regulate matters. This will, It Is said, probably be done by making the terms of the supervisors either two or four years Instead of three years.. TF.ST OI.DIER PREFKREXCK LAW Fellentreter Case tomes I, Before Jndae Wheeler. The first test here of the old soldiers' preference law will be made today, when Judge Wheeler will hear In district court the application of Andi'ew Fellentreter for an Injunction to restrain the city council from appointing D. J. Whitaker or any one else except himself poll tax collector. Mr. Fellentreter, who held the position of poll tax collector during Mayor Morgan's admlnlstrction, was an applicant for the position before this council, but the re publican majority at a caucus, decided to give the appointment to Whitaker. It has been stated by some of the alder men that rather than give the appointment to Mr. Fellentreter they will elect some other veteran of the civil war. The city council will meet tonight and It Is likely that the matter will be disposed of then.

LAWS MAY STILL BE VALID Speaker Clarke Thinki Tailore of Publica tion Will Not Invalidate Them. SIMPLY DEFERS DATE OF TAKING EFFECT Senator Crossley Aanonnces He Will Be Back at the 5ext Session with Another Primary Election Bill. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINE8. April 8. (8pecial.)-lt Is the opinion of Speaker Clarke that the laws passed by the general assembly, which ad journed Friday, will go into effect July 4 unless published before that time. It is his opinion that the refusal of the papers to publish the laws unless psid a higher rate than the legal rate will only defer the time when the laws shall take effect. Speaker Clarke left last night for his home in Adel, and before leaving expressed the opinion that the constitution covered the matter. The provision rercrred to Is In section 28 of the constitution, which states that laws shall take effect July 4 next, after their passage, but adds: 'If the general assembly shall deem any law of special Importance, they may pro vide that the same shall take effect by publication In newspapers In the state." Speaker Clarke believes that If the laws are not published they will take effect on July 4 anyway because of this section. At torney General Mullen Is still considering the matter. The legal rate Is 33H cents a square, and the bill that passed the sen ate, but was killed In the house, raised the price to 60 cents a square. Crossley Mas Another BUI. Before leaving for his home at Wlnterset senator James J. Crossley, the author of two primary election bills which were killed at the session of the legislature Just I closed and the author of two other bills I at former sessions, declared that he will j be in the senate at the next session with i another bill. Senator Crossley Is one of the holdover senators, wnlch Insures his return. While undecided as to the manner In which his bill would be drawn. Senator Crossley declares that he Is In favor of a state-wide primary lew; for a vote on nil public officers who are elected by the peo ple; for a plurality selection; for the same Judges nnd clerks as nt the election and the primary election to bo held at the ' same plnce as the election; for a plurality selection and providing that delegates to ' state and county conventions shall be se- ! lected from the delegates named at the I primary. While declaring his belief In these general provisions of the bill, Sen ator Crossley stated that the bill that he would offer at the next session would de pend on the results of the election this year ard upon what ktnd of a , bill he thought could be gotten through. If his bill should fall at the neTtt session Sena tor Crossley declares that he will offer a resolution to submit tne matter to the people for a constitutional amendment. Rankin Calls Conference. A.

Rankin, whose state marshal bill failed to pass the legislature, has tele graphed to his assistants In the movement to meet him at the Savery hotel the com ing week for a conference, at which he proposes rfc lay out a program of cam paign in preparation of offering the same bill at the next session. Barrett Is Pleased. Ex-State Superintendent R. C. Barrett, who was in the city today returning to his home at Ames, after attending the Teach ers' Institute at Ottumwa, stated that he was well pleased wih the results of legis lation as far as the schools are concerned. He Is especially well pleased at the pas sage of the state certificate bill, which he urged upon the legislature and the plan for facilitating the consolidation of public schools. ' "I found during my term of office that there were many Instances over the state where schools could not well follow the country or township boundaries," said Prof. Barrett, "and the law that Is passed will enable the formation of districts of greater convenience to the patrons of the schools." Class County Primaries. The county central committee of the re publican party of Cass county has Issued the call for the primaries In that city for May 26 and the county convention for two weeks later or June 9.

Directors of the state fair will arrange sooon for some plan for extending the seat ing capacity of the amphitheater at the state fair so that there will not be the crowded condition this year that there was in past years. The refusal of the legislature to appropriate money for a steel amphitheater has put the directors in a quandary. The only plan thus far sug gested Is to erect temporary bleachers and stretch canvas above them till the legis lature can be Induced to make the appro priation. Kendall m Candidate. Nate Kendall, the silver tongued orator from Albla, and representative from Mon roe county, has decided to seek re-election and if re-elected to seek election as speaker of the house.

"Experiments satisfied me, some 3 years ago," writes a Topeka woman, "that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia, from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me. "I had been a coffee drinker since child hood and did not like to think that the bev erage was doing me all this harm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact and protect myself. I therefore gave it up, abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum Food Coffee for my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement In my con dition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, but surely, and it was a. matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency and I began to sleep, reetfully and peace fully. "These happy conditions have continued during all of the ( years and I am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum Food Coffee, for when I began to drink It I ceased to use medicines."
