Taylor ,of Custer believed me scnooi snouia conform to tne party plat form and be located In western Nebraska. Kelley made a great speech In favor of his measure and called upon the democrats to stand by him, but it was Jio use, for as Clark of Richardson said, while they all loved hlrp' and he had a great big heart, the state could not afford at thla time to build up southwest Nebraska.-. Nettleton of Clay Joined In with a word In favor of Some of tha Institutions going up north, and so It was killed. But Keley if a good, looser, and quit smiling. - Wtau Make S4 Plea; The finance committee of the house was knocked off Its feet this afternoon and aa a result the bureau of labor la liable to aecure a 120.000 appropriation rather than the ll.SOO appropriation agreed upon by the committee. Mlnj Cora Bchlesaln S'r. clerk of the bureau, in her arcument before the committee for a larger appro priation not only dassled the membera, but o well did she do the work that rep resentatives" of union labor and Jerry Howard declined to talk when she had finished.' for she had told it all. Miss ttchlesslnger went over In detail Just what work had been done by former La bor Commissioner Ryder and under what a handicap and she told of the work mapped out for the future. She spoke Immediately following Treasurer Brian, who wanted an Increase appropriation In order to hire someone to clip the coupons off bonds. Mr. Brian said the state flow had $7,000,000 worth of bonds. This was the cue for Mlas Schlesslnger and she showed the legislature could give the bureau of labor Its $20,000 and never misa the money, A motion waa made to vote the larger appropriation while Miss Bchlesslnger waa present, but Chairman Clark refused to put the question at that time, so the matter is now under advlse m aC... with the odds even that Miss gshlesalnger will win out- : Oecepatloa l.lfsstori, Following' are', the occupations of the members of the' senate: ;"; Banning, lumber' merchant; Bartos, law yet Besne; farmer;- Bodinson, merchant; Brown, farmer; Buck, banker; Buhrman, farmer and -stockman; C'aln banker; Obx, gifcln dealer and farmer; Uters. merchant; Ixmohoe, lawyer: fuller, farmer; Oammlll, farmer and- stock raiser; Hatfield, retired farmer; Henry, farmer; Howell, Insurance and coal -dealer; rKtchum. retired farmer; Kmg, lawyer;' Klein, merchant; Leverty, afrmer; Majors, farmer; Miller, merchant; Mpyers, lumber merchant; Ollls, farmer; Randall, farmer and banker; Ransom, lawyer; Raymond, lawyer; tanner, editor; Thompson, farmer and live stock raisins:: f-Tlbbets, lawyer; Volpp, banker; Warren, real state ana insurance; wiltse, lawyer. Iasaranre Hearing; Bet. 'Almost an hpen rupture has resulted be tween Senator Bartos and Senator Tibbets because of the delay in setting a meeting of the Insurance committee of the aenate. A hoet of bills regarded of vital Importance to the Insurance men of Nebraska have been Introduced and no meeting haa yet been held. Several times Senator Bartos, chairman of the committee, haa fixed a time for a meeting, but something haa al ways come up to prevent the aession. He announced tonight that a meeting would be held at 7 o'clock, but there was a meet ing of tha committee on municipal affairs at that time, on . which a number of the members of tha committee on insurance have membership. Senator Tibbets rose to declare, that the Insurance matters wore of such importance that persons living out In the state ought to- have an opportunity to attend. Senator Bartos thereupon an nounced the committee would hold a ses sion Friday night without fail and this waa the agreement "' Not long ago Senator Bartos announced a meeting of the committee and when' It was given out Senator ' Tibbets shouted, "That's getting stale." At the opening of the session Senator Tibbets demanded tha chairmanship of the Insurance committee and Senator Bartos demanded the head of the railroad com mittee. -I To . oompromlse, Senator Bartos waa given: his: choice and. picked tha in surance committee, .which Senator Tibbets had set his. heart npon-obtaining.

Goldeq eagles sre vfry rare birds In South Dakota, yet two fine specimens have within the last fw days been captured In Lawrence county.. It is believed that both of them were driven from their homea In tha rocks by tha extreme cold of the last week and by hunger. . ... The Time to Change Is when ou feel interested enough in your health to leave o(f coffee for a few days" and learn Just how much better, sturdier, and cleaner one feels by drinking PdSTUM construction work has so much been done for employes In the way of furnishing nesessltles, comforts and luxuries of life at the cost of the work as has been done at this work. This Is one reason for the high cost of the canal." In their opinion "the work Is well organ ised, and Is being conducted energetically and well." They commen.1 the . m1l-l and sanitary department "tfir Its success in exterminating yellow fever and controlling malaria." , May Complete by IBIS. N"We see no reason." thov add. "hv tha canal should not be completed, as estimated by the chief engineer, by January 1, 1S16; in raet it seems that a somewhat earlier completion Is probable if all goea well." Considering the cost and time of con struction of a sea level canal as compared with the lock type, they hold that "most of ths factor which have operated to Increase the costs of the lock canal would operate with almillar effect to increase ths cost of th sea level canal, and at the present time there are additional factors of even greater tnportanca to be considered as affecting the time of completion and cost of a sea level canal."' One of these they find In the Gamboa dam. if work nn Which Was to be Started aa annn aa nnii(hl. they declare1 It "could not be completed until atter we time requited for the completion of the lock canal." Further than this they say that "a chaste ' In the tvn result In abandoning work which represent a targe expenditure." They claim that by the chanae tha irie Chagres and the livers on the Isthmus tributary thereto, "Instead of being allies would' b enemies of tha nml ywt eiwi In them' would greatly Interfere with the work." ' 1 Dasiig ky fJwaUes Remote. ' ' Reply ing to the 'criticisms "that the canaj region "is liable to earthquake shocks and that a sea level canal would be less sub ject to injury by earthquakes than a lock canal," they assert that "dams and locks are structures of great stability and little subject to damage by earthquake shocks." but 'that even If they could regard earth quakes aa a source of serious damage to any type of canal on the Isthmus, "the ef fect upon the dams, locks and regulating work of the proposed sea level canal would be much the same as upon similar struc tures of the lock canal." As to the question of water supply they say "It Is so much areater than anv rmI that can be reasonably anticipated that the best method of securing more water when the time is needed does not reoulra t m considered now." They report that they can find no reason to apprehend Important loss of water by seepage through the rlda-ea surrounding the Gatun dam, "while In our juesment," they add, "the bed cf the lake will be practically Impervious to water." 1 be engineers who composed tha hnani are Frederick P.
