MNCOl.N. Jan. 37. Bpclal.)-An odd
point In tha matter of telephone service
n derided today by tha state railroad
commission. Out In the town of Bdlson
resides a butcher nmM Q. w. Burt, who
haa In hla shop a 'phone attached to tha
Farmers- t'nlon Telephone system. In the
town Itself la another system, operate by
the Ed'son Telephone company. The latter
fcas an arrangement with the FMrmers'
company by which connection may be
made between the two companies upon
payment of a 25 cents a month switching
charge.
The TCdlson company gives service at
a charge of ll.TS a month, while that of
the, Farmers' Is much lesa. Burt offered
to pay the 25 tents a month switching
chary. This would rive him service to
all customers of the Kdlson company, but
at a Ipps rate than fl.TS a month. The
Kdition company refused to let htm practice
1his economy. Ilf applied to the commis
sion for an order compelling them to carry
out the agreement with the Farmers' corn
ran y.
The commission rules that It cannot do
this, brcauso (his would give him cheaper
service that, that furnished by the town
company 10 other subscribers, thus consti
tuting discrimination. No contract, It Is
held, could be Invoked to compel this being
done.
'I lie ( citnmissinrr also passes upon a re
nuist from the 'Farmers' & Merchanta'
company of Alma to be allowed to permit
patrons to use a pay 'phone at the railroad
depot without charge, while nonpartrona
must pay. Tha railroad company baa a
'phone In the station nlso, and the thrifty
folks of Alma have been using It In prefer
ence to palng for the use of the other one.
Th company sent a Jetter to the governor,
r.d he turned It over to the commission.
The request Is denied on the ground that
the use of the 'phono must be open to all
persons on the' same ' terms, whether
patrons or not. , f
Ki peases of Lancaster.
That the .coat to the taxpayers of run
ning the county during the yenr 1309 will
amount to about liiio.000 and that fully
half of this, amount, will be spent on roads
and bridges Is the estimate of the county
commissioners filed with the county clerk
Wednesday morning. This is not the total
cost rf the miilntc.nance of the county gov
ernment, as most of the county officials
draw their salaries out of the fees re
ceived In their offlcei.. Neither does this
Include the cost of the maintenance of the
schools, as about WO.Ono was spent on the
county schools last year and It la expected
that the cost this year will be greater still.
Taking everything together. It will coat
bout $750,000 to maintain all the county
Institutions for the current year.
The part, however, with which tha com
missioners have to do and on which their
estimates are made Includes the building
of roads arid construction of bridges outside
of Incorporated towns, the support of the
courts cf the county, the payment of tha
salaries of offloers who are not paid out
cf their fees, the provision for the Jail,
county farm and detention, the repairing
and maintaining of the county building and
the payment of the county sinking fund.

lata Her Head.
The suicide of Miss Bennle Talbot, who
fell out with her sweethesrt. Palmer Lam
oreaux. has prostrated the mother of the
young women and young man. Both are
confined to their beds and are said to ba
seriously HI as a result of the shock.
Miss Talbot, 21 years of age, shot hsrself
through the right temple yesterday after
noon with a 38-ralihre revolver at the resi
dence of Mrs. R. Dunn. 4314 Dodge street.
She left a note ascribing lur deed to the
fact of love's blighted plans and requesting
certain funeral arrangements. The coroner
was In Lincoln yesterday and Is there still
and the note la locked In his ssfe. He will
hold an inquest.
Young Lamoreaux will say nothing. He
spent the dsy at his father's home, 1330
South Thirty-third street, and has engaged
a lawyer, J. B. Kelkenny. His father Is Dr.
R. E. Lamoreaux. He will not discuss the
note, their love affslr or the tragedy.
Arriving at the Dunn home, the young
woman found no one there, so went to Mrs.
Howell's at the corner, and borrowed the
front door key to the Dunn house, saying
that ahe wanted to get something. As Mies
Tslbot and Mrs. Dunn were close friends,
Mrs. Howell grave the former the hey with
out any hesitancy.
Entering the home of her friend. Mrs.
Dunn, she made careful and deliberate
preparations before ending her life, appar
ently. The revolver had been hidden under
the pillow of the bed by Mrs. Dunn, but
Miss Talbot Is said to have known there
was a revolver In the house.
Mrs. Howell Gets Anxlons.
Mrs. Howell became curious of what
might be keeping Miss Talbot In the Dunn
home so long and the discovery of the
suicide resulted when Mrs. Howell
went to the house. She saw the body of
the young woman lying crosswise of the
bed and rn screaming from the place
without nvestlgatlng further.
Dr. Nelson of the Walnut Hill Pharmacy,
Fortieth and Cuming streets, was sum
moned and found that death had been
Instantaneous. He later notified the cor
oner's office, but did not make any de
tailed statement until Wednesday morn
ing, when he gave out an idea of what
the note contained.
Besides the statement by Miss Talbot
that ahe waa sorry she was going to kill
herself,' yet wanted to die because she
had nothing to live for, now that she
had finally broken off relations with her
sweetheart, the note only dealt with a
description of the clothes In which she
wished to be buried, and with some private
matters. It will be used ss evidence at
the coroner's Inquest, Thursday morning.
Mrs. Dunn's knowledge of Miss Talbot's
love and other affairs is referred to In the
letter, but Mrs. Dunn will not talk at
present of what she knows.
Quarrel Breaks It Off.
According to Raymond Talbot, a younger
brother, lamoreaux and Talbot's sister had
been Intimately acquainted for several
years and had been engaged to be married
two or three times. Each time the engage
ment was broken off on account of a
quarrel. Toung Talbot, who la a night
messenger employed by the Relisble Mes
senger company, 124 South Thirteenth
street, says that his sister broke off an
engagement with Lamoreaux last Thurs
day and haa been brooding over It ever
since. He did not know of her death
until laat night, when apprised of the fact
by the father, who lives with Ray TaJbot
at the Burnswick hotel and Is a carpenter.
Mrs. Talbot, the mother, la prostrated
over her daughter and was uncon
scious the greater part of Tuesday
night. She is attended by Dr. Lcftus, who
says her condition is serious, as her heart
is affected. The father has been with his
wife ever since the tragedy.
When Raymond Talbot, who Is now the
only child, saw the body of his sister at the
morgue, he fainted snd then becoming
ctased with grief, declared that he would
not leave the side of 1 Is sister's body.
The Talbot family has lived In Omaha
and South Omaha for almost eight years
snd resided In South Omaha until about
three months ago. They moved to Twenty-third
and Brown streets In Omaha, and
when Mr. TaJbot secured work In Benson
he and the son took a room at the Bruns
wick hotel, while the mother and daughter
rcomed and boarded at the McCarthy
boarding house on Douglas street. They
formerly lived at Bturgess. Ky., and the
body of Miss Talbot will probably be
taken to Kentucky for burial.

Vicious Attack on President.

Out Entire Speech.
WASHINGTON', Jan. M.-Recommending
that the speech delivered In the house last
week by Representative Willet of New
York.'tn which the president was severely
criticised. te expunged from the Congres
sional Record, the select committee ap
pointed to consider the speech submitted
Its report to the house today. A letter
written to the committee by Representa
tive Willet, urging that his speech should
remain on record, accompanied I he report.
Declaring that "the consideration of the
speech in question Involves a consideration
Df what is and what Is not orderly debate
In the house," the committee's report
defines the prlvllewes of members of the
house and the limitations of debate. It
discussea at length the relationship of the
two houses of congress and the relations
which must be maintained between the
house of representatives and the president
In accordance with the constitution.
The report declares that It would seem
that the "peculiar constitutional duties of
the house In relation to the power of Im
peaching the president do not preclude a
clear line of distinction between that criti
cism of acts and conduct necessary for
performance of the constitutional duties of
the house and a criticism merely personal
and Irritating." It also claims that It Is
especially the duty of the house itself to
protect the president "from thst personal
abuse, Innuesido or ridicule tending to ex
cite disorder In tbe house Itself and to
create a personal antagonism on the part
of the president toward the house and
which Is not related to the power of Hip
house under the constitution to examine
Into the acts snd conduct of the president."
Remarks Declared Improper.
"Tour committee has carefully considered
the remarks of the gentleman from Nrw
York." continues the report, "and finds that
his remarks concerning the president sre
not Justified by any considerations of the
constitutions! duties or powers of the house;
that they transcend proper limits of criti
cism in debs.te; that they are destructive of
that courtesy, respect and dignity which
ought to be preserved, and that they ought
not to remain In the permanent official
record of the proceeding of the house."
The committee claimed that It was Im
possible to separate the objectionable re
marks from the remainder of the speech,
and that the only way to eliminate the re
marks considered out of order would be to
strike out the entire speech. It cited as a
precedent for such action by the house the
speech of Robert P. Kennedy of Ohio at
tacking the sen si e made in the house on
September 3. 18D0, which was excluded from
the permanent record.
In his letter to the committee Mr. Willet
claims that he did not transcend the rules
of the house, but thst he wss entirely
within his rights to make the speech, under
the order of general debate. "Freedom of
speech has always been held so sacred,"
he declares, "that the utmost latitude has
been allowed In debate and I respectfully
submit that to strike my speech from the
record In this Instance will establish a
precedent extremely dangerous."
The resolution read by the special eoirl
mlttee for adoption by the house remls:
Resolved, That the speech of Mr. Willet,
printed in the Dsily Congressional Record
of January 111. 19C6, contains language Im
proper and In violation of the privileges
of debate, and that the ssme be stricken
from the permanent record.
The house, with but few faint nays, to
day adopted the report of the special com
mittee on the Wlllett speech.

HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 27. (Special.
The Hastings Board of Education is facing
a serious problem in connection with the
proposed ereotlon of a new High school
building. Some weeks ago it was planned
to erect a duplicate of the present build
ing, which occupies one-half of one square
block. It was planned to have the new
building on the other half, so that the two
structures would be In harmony with each
other aa to size and location within the
square. It haa been found, however, that l;r
the present building Is duplicated the ac
commodations will become Inadequate In
about three years, provided the present
rate of increase In attendance continues.
In the last five years the attendance In
the high school and Eighth grade, which
are both housed In the same building, has
Increased 86 per cent.
