El Cobbey of Beatrice who wants the state to buy his statues; H. II. Wheeler of Lincoln who also compiled a book of statues which he wants the state to buy. Postmaster Slier spent a short tlm6 seeing the house come to order and get started. Bryum of Burt county wants to be con sistent whether he can afford It or not. In the discussion In the house this morning over the purchase of stamps for the uso of the members, Bryam voted no on the proposition giving the following explana tion of his vole. "Although I am so poor I could not buy a Jay bird if turkeys were selling for $4 each, to be consistent I vote, no." Speaker Nettleton is In earnest about keeping lobbyists away from the legisla ture and he Is not going to stand very much foolishness about the matter and very little levity. Mike Lee found that out this morning. The Douglas county member handed In a resolution saying "Inasmuch as lobbyists hnd been branded as outlaws and driven from the boure. legitimate In terests are afraid to send their represen tatives here because they are llar-'e to be branded as lobbyists. I move thst twenty four hour notice be given before any com mittee meetings so that those Interested can be on hand." "The resolution Is out of order." said the speaker In no gentle voice, "this house haa not said lobbyists are outlaws." "I don't think it says that, Mr. Speaker," raid Lee. The speaker had the clerk read the reso lution again. "It doesn't Bay so In so many words, but It Is Implied, but let it go. I don't want this house put In an at titude of doing something which it haa not done." '. Speaker Nettleton demonstrated this morning that he has considerable weight in the house. The reading of the Journal was under discussion and many of the speakers opposed the taking of the time devoted to this matter. It was very evident the house would sustain the motion to dls nense with the reading. In fact the motion had carried when the speaker called Neff of Franklin to the chair. He told the mem bers It was very important for each mem ber to get In the records right and to do that it was necessary that the Journal be read and corrected. When he again took the chair Harvey moved a reconelderatlon and the Journal was read In Its entirety. Norrls Brown, nominee of the republican party for United States senator, accom panied by his two daughters. Miss June Boqwiv and MIsa'Luclle Brown, called at the honse today, but got there Just after adjournment.- He was generoUBly.weicomea by the member and none tried to bar him as a lobbyist because ha la interested in a little matter which will be taken up In both houses next Tuesday. "Mr. Speaker, I don't want this matter confused," said Graff of Cuming, during the discussion of the purchase of stamps for tho members. "The gentleman from Douglas has said this is a petty graft. My namo Is Graff, and 1 don't want to be mixed up with the other graft. I hope, however, the gentleman from Douglas will look after the big grafts which will come later In the big appropriation requests, as closely as he haa the stamp graft." Dodge did first rate In the mlxup In the house over the stamp act. Yesterday he opposed the purchase of 30 cents' worth of stamps for each member. This morning he explained he acted while under the Imnresslon the purchase of stamps was a petty graft. Since then he Is convinced, he said, that 10 cents' worth of stamps were needed by the members and it . was right they should have them. Three or four members Jumped on Dodge for raising a disturbance about such a little matter. It means a difference of $1,200, Is all," he suld. "The 30 cents worth of stamps for each member would have amounted In the house to $1,800 for the session, and 10 cents' worth will cost only $600. It may be a little matter, however."

Progress ordained that electric light should replace the tallow dip, to the great advantage of all mankind. Another innovation seems at hand. The front laced corset possesses tremendous advantage over the back laced corset. The adjnstment they give at the abdomen and the support their solid or closed back gives tha spine are enough to assure their success, but adding to these the peerless style qunilficalions of the Gossard front laced corsets, and It does not seem strange that the laced back corset should join the relics of the past.

No woman "who cares' can af ford to miss this opportunity of being perfectly fitted by this expert, who comes to us laden with the latest of met ropolitan ideas in corsetry.

They pro'vlde for the minimum strength of the organization of the militia in time of peace and equipment by the atate authorlte so that this force will be Instantly available In time of need. In the first place It 1 expected that the state author It le will take advuntnge of the generous appropriation made by the national government annually for the support of the national guard to keep all of their organization, at fixed minimum strength. These men are to be completely equipped and drilled. And, in addition, the state must provide ample equipment, arms, clothing, quartermaster stores, tenting, everything necessary for the militiamen who may be called Into service under the terms of the law. State to Equip Recruits. The experience of the Spanish war re cruiting demonstrated thai Is is a difficult task for the government to equip recruit In two and threes and half dosens In lit tle country hamlets and feed and convey them to central recruiting depot. There fore, the regulation provide that the task shall be assumed by tho state authorities; the" vill secure these recruit themselve nd provide for their maintenance and de liver them at the proper headquarter so that all that will be necessary for tha national government to secure a thoroughly mobile, well equipped and well armed force of men at short notice will be a call on tha governor of a state for the necessary levy of troops and gather these up at large central station.
