(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 11. (Special.) Governor
Sheldon bus finished his work on the bills
I passed by the legislature and out of the
' various appropriation bills he cut a total
j of $24i),411. This leaves the total appro
I prlatlons of the legislature 13, Ml, 780.80. The
, cuts made by the governor were as fol
I lows: Wolf bounty, $:.0OO; deficiency wolf
! bounty, $2i411, and a deficiency on the de
I flclency. $2,000; for a wing to be built at
the Kearney Normal school. $86,000; for a
j new building at the Beatrice Institute for
i Fueble Minded, $30,000; for Yukon-Alaskan
! exposition, $16,000; for a gymnasium for
the Institute for Deaf and Dumb at Omaha,
! HO.oOO; for an engine and boiler at the
i Peru Normal school. $0.0X; for a building
I at the Grand Island 8oldiers' home, $;S,0im.
! All the other appropriation bills that
I passed were signed.
The legislature passed a total of Kl bills,
'of which ninety-six were senate files and
125 were house rolls. Governor Sheldon
signed 304 bills and vetoed fifteen. Two bills
j became laws without his ctlon. Of the
bills vetoed eleven were house rolls and
four senate flies.
Kortunl Board Surprised.'
An Incident of the waiting and worrying
over the governor's action on the appro
priation of the Kearney Normal school was
the meeting of the State Normal board at
the office of the state superintendent. The
board convened yesterday at noon to dis
cuss cutting down their pluns for a 1100,000
building to an JsS.Ooo building, as that was
the way the bill read when It passed the
legislature. Suddenly the board remem
bered that the governor had taken no ac
tion, so proceedings were stopped. When
news was glven'out this afternoon that the
governor had Anally vetoed the appropria
tion the board quit business.
"We will do the best we can with our
means," said Member Gregg, "and we will
make the Kearney Normal the best school
In the United States."
"We will be back In two years for $150,000
to complete the building," said Superin
tendent Thomas.
Following are the reasons assigned for the
vetoes by the governor:
H. R. 112-Appropriatlng JS5.000 to erect
two wings to the Kearney Normal school.
In vetoing this bill the governor says:
"The appropriations for the coming bl
ennlum must be kept safely within the
state's Income. In my Judgement, the ne
cessities of this Institution end the present
condition of our finances do not warrant
thin expenditure."
For the same lesson the governor has
vetoed H. R. 19", 31. 478 and 491.
In vetoing H. IS. 35R, amending the bank
ing law, the governor says: "The section
of the statutes which section 3 (if this
act would amend has airendy been slr'arly
amended by H. It. 105. Many of the country
banks do not fulldl the requirements of
section 8 of this act. It does not exempt
banks now do.ng business under their pres
ent charters. In my judgment an act like
this which would probably disturb these
banks greatly should not be passed by the
emergency clause."
H. K. 634, the deficiency claims bill,
was approved, with the exception of the
following Items: Bounty on wild animals,
unpaid claims Nos. 3S.CS to 36.3i'A inclusive,
and Nos. f'5H to :j,644, inclusive, as recorded
In the auditor's record. $21411.60, and esti
mated deficiencies for the payment of ani
mal bounties, $2,000.
In vetoing S. F. SA. by Burns of !jn
caster, n 1 111 for the appointment of a
board of examiners of plumbers for the
city of Lincoln, the governor says: "This
bill is amendatory. The original act as
passed In 1S91 (session laws 1901, chapter
xxl. page 321-3a) under the title thereof
the enactment was restricted to cities hav
Ir.g a population of more than 60,000. In
lSty.0 the legislature attempted to amend
section 1 so as to make this act apply to
cities having a population of more than
40.00. but the title of the -amendatory act
referred alone to stctlon 1 of the origins'
and did not enlarge the space of the orig
inal Utle so as to apply to cities having less
than oO.OKl inhn hltants.
The amendment
of 1!p03, making the act applicable to cities
having more than 40.(0(1 Inhabitants, was
not within the title of the original act.

meet the requirements of that part of the
constitution which declares that the section

lotted new rooms, It being necessary In the
opinion of the board to change practically
every office to make room for the State
Railway commission, which Is the only ad
dition to the present number of offices in
the state house. It fell to the lot of Chair
man Eaton and Secretary Junkln to carry
around the move out notices and some of
the language used by those to be ejected
from pleasant quarters was unique and en
tirely original. Offices were allotted as fol
lows: The oil office moves from the first floor
to the- lieutenant governor's room on the
reond floor.
The wate veterinarian will office with

flu'ir. This office has been on the second

enrolling room on the third floor.
The State Railway commission tnkes the
rooms now occupied by the State Board of
Irrigation and the Agricultural society.
The supreme court commission takes the
two rooms of the secretary of the senate
and when it wants It will use the senate
chamber.
The state superintendent takes on the
room vacated by the oil office and makes
It a part of his already large office rooms.
While only a few of the parties Inter
ested are satisfied and It will take a lot of
work and worry to make the changes, the
state house elevators will be started shortly
and after the changes are made It will be
little trouble to get to the third floor.

Stomach Trouble.
"For years I was s sufferer from In
digestion and stomach trouble. I have
used all kinds of medicine and pills,
without any benefit. I was advised by
one of my neighbors to trv a bottle of
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, ss he had
tried it with good results. I went to
the drug store and bought a bottle,
and before that bottle was used I whs
relieved and was much better than he
fore I commenced to use the Malt
Whiskey. I kept on using It steadily
every day. and before I had used up
Ave bottles I was entirely well, and
think that Duffey's Pure Mslt Whiskey
Is one of the best tonics of the Twen
tieth century. I will keep It In my
house always as a family medicine and
tonic. I take a small dose every day
after each meal. It helps the digestion
and promotes a good appetite. 1 am

years ago the doctors gave me up to
die. We had some Duffy's Malt Whis
key In the house which 1 commenced
to use right oft, as a last resort, and
I grew better and finally became well,
taking It according to directions. I hsve
used It for fifty years and hsve had
It In my family for general use for that
length of time. I ent heartily and sleep
well. I was born In Vermont, east of

symptoms of heart trouble disappeared,
and I began to get stronger. I lack a
few months of being 81 years of age.
I am one of the few surviving veterans
of the Mexican war, and, aside from a
disability contracted In the nrmy, I
can say that I feel spry and nimble on
my feet, and stn vigorous Indeed, all of
which Is due to the taking of Duffy's
