Then Senator Miller declared the bill permitted In Lincoln what was being done already. Teachers' Cert Ideates. Senator Henry of Collax made a fight for his bill, S. F. 3S4, repealing that portion of the law throwing upon the state superin tendent the power to say what schools and colleges pf the state are entitled to grant state and life teachers' certificates. -Mr. Henry thought the law a bad one, as In his experience as county superintendent many teachers secured certificates through at tendance at schools when they had repeat edly failed to secure them through the reg ular examinations of the county which he had conducted. The senate was evenly di vided on a motion to postpone and the lieu tenant governor voted placing the bill on general file. . Had Place in Charter. City Treasurer Furay of Omaha was in Lincoln today to point out to the Douglas county delegation the futility of enacting a provision In the South Omaha charter that makes-a branch of the ohly government. He declared that the operation would ne cessitate the county seal being In two places at the same time and would prevent the operation of abstracters and might under certain conditions permit the sale of prop erty for taxes In one place when the same had been paid In another. He regarded the provision of the bill as entirely Imprac ticable. No Inqalaltlon on Banks. After a hard fight on the floor of the house the bill by Fries of Howard to pro vide that assessors may have the right to enter a bank and check up Its books In order to make an assessment on the de posits was killed. Clark and Wilson-' of Polk and Brown of Lancaster led the fight against the bill, while Judge Shoemaker delivered an ardent speech In opposition. NeUleton of Clay, Fries of Howard and others spoke for It. This gave the Douglas county members a myt her chance to show off and the bet was not overlooked by Howard. Shoemaker was making one of his best efforts of the session, when he was lnturrupted by How ard, who had gradually arisen In his seat until he was almost on tip toe. "May I ask yes a question?" he shouted. "Sure," answered Shoemaker. "Yes are making a spach fur the bankers and the rich men. Yes are not fighting fur the poor man at all." "You don't know what you are talking about." hotly retorted this democratic legls laturu's moat widely advertised constitu tional lawyer as he proceeded. ' Connolly came In just as the vote was be ing taken and made this remark to his delegation: "I don't know anything about the bill." "Ah. yes knows the bill Is all right, all right," yelled Jerry. In the committee of the whole the bill was recommended for passage, but upon a roll call not to concur In the .report of tha committee It was killed. , ,. No ensure for Put lard. The house went on record this morning In opposition to oens tiling ex-Congressman Poljsrd. though It did vote that Its major ity membership Is opposed to ship subsidy. To luvaatlcata A Hewed Trust. Mr. Connolly and Mr. Skeen and Mr. Kll len will shortly charge on the alleged meat trust of the. state and cause the same to show cause why It should not be dissolved and the farmers get a price for their beef, not fixed In advance by c&ncerted action. This Is the reault of the adoption of the Connolly resolution providing- for the ap pointment of a committee td Institute an Investigation of the alleged trust. When the resolution came up about a half dozen members voted yes and about the same number voted in the negative. Doaarla Membvra to the Froat. The house recommended for psssage two liquor bills. H. R. 181, by Henry of Holt, preventing the sale of liquor to Indians, and H. R. 280, by Barrett, providing that the bartender an weU aa the saloon keeper. Is responsible for the sale of liquor to minora. Over the discussion of these bills Mr. Stoeeker of Douglas county, and bis col league Mr. Shoemaker, got into the lime light. Mr. Sloecker pointed out that the Henry bill was already 011 the statute books or words to that effect, and soma In quisitive member Insisted on asking the gentleman who was elected to represent Douglas county to point out tha statute. Like a ghost Judge Shoemaker glided up to ihe side of Mr. Stoaoker. "1 will leave it to my attorney here, gen tlemen." modestly replied tha magnate-like looking cigar man. And Judge Shoemaker proceeded to read law until the house got ready to recommend the bill for passage. Matardar Holiday Lost. H. R. 256. by. Humphrey of Lancaster, a vary pel and very much nursed measure by the gentleman from Incaster, was Indef initely postponed by the house In the com mittee of the whole this .morning with lit tle, ceremony, though whlth many laughs.

A number of speeches were madn for and Against ths bill snd again persons who were elected to repre sent Douglas county got In the lime light. Mr. Stoeeker moved that the bill be Inde fyiltely postponed. When the vote was rC?lng taken Howard of Douglas refused td arise with his comrades and vote against the bill; "Stand up Jereemlah," said Connolly. "I'm running mesllf," retorted Jeremiah hotly, "and yes Is not doing It fur me. This a good bill. It tis," and Jeremiah oted for It.

IHO.VT ItEALIZE How Injurious Coffee Kaally Was, Many persons go on drinking coffee yeir after year without realising that It Is the cause of many obucure, but persistent ail ments. The drug caffeine In coffee and tea. Is very like uric acid and Is often the reuse ot rheumatic attacks which, when coffee Is used habltally, become chronic. A Washington lady said, recently: "I am sixty-five and have had a good deal of experience with coffee. I consider It very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure It causes decay of teeth In children. "When I drank coffee 1 had sick spells and still did not realise that coffee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism In my arms and fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep and was all run down. "At last, after finding that medicines did me no good, I decided to quit coffee entirely and try postum. After using It six months I fully recovered my health beyond all expectations, can sleep sound and my rheumatism Is all gone." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Cot Battle Creek, Mich.

A letter from Cole stated that the Michigan matter would be deolded by the 24 th Instant, and that he would be able to give the board a definite answer on that date. He Is an applicant for Director Balrd's position. Basket hall letters were voted to seven men as follows: Captain Walsh, D. Bell, H. Perry, Petrssbek. A, C. Schmidt. Wood and Ingersotl. The matter of establishing a training tablo for the track teem this spring was dis cussed and referred to a committee of three for Investigation. Just now the athletic board Is In favor of allowing the cinder path athletes to maintain a special table and It Is likely that the committee will re port favorably on the proposition next week. PINCHOT IN -HOSTILE CAMP (Continued from First Page.) was cut; 888,384 M,. B. F. of timber was sold; 24.137 graslng permits, 8,141 special use permits, and 80.377 free use permits were Issued. The total number of permits Issued to June 80, 1W8, was 163,068. "Of the total amount received from those who received direct benefits from the use trtthe varied resources of the national forests of Colorado last year, 25 per cent of 159.761.28 was turned over to the state to be used In the development and main tenance of roads and the publlo school system. Advaatasre ta Colorado. "The amount which Colorado receives each year for this purpose will Increase as tbe forests reach a higher and higher state of development and the best possible use Is made of every resource. During the last fiscal year the total amount of busi ness transacted by the forest service In cressed more than 4 per cent over that of the previous year, and It was handled with but 20 per cent Increase In money avail able. A knowledge of such facts as these should sot at rest once and forever, the claim sometimes and so mlstakably made, that the national forests ars closed against development. , "In the Immense amount of business trsnsacted over so large an area, It was Inevitable that mistakes should be made. I do not doubt that In Isolated cases In justice hss been dope, and wherever such Injustice has been, brought to my attention. It has been corrected.' The mistakes made are lnBlgnlflcant, amount and Importance compared to the .good, accomplished. It must be remembered, that Injustice must be avoided as much to the government as to the users of the national forests, and that If there were no attempt on the part of dis honest men to get possession of the prop erty of the people In ways contrsry to law. the men who are responsible for taking care of that property would not be obliged to take the precautions to protect It which are now absolutely necessary. X AaoloaHea for Work. "If by mistake Injustice has been done to any man, It will be corrected, so far ss I have the power. But remember two things; In the first place, the forest service Is not responsible for the law as it exists or for the rulings of the Department of the Interior, but It Is governed both by the law and by these rulings, with both. In most particulars. It Is In hearty accord, but if either Is wrong. It Isn't within the authority of the" forest service to correct It. Secondly, during the last fiscal year, timber worth more than $8,000,080 standing on invalid mining clslms was saved to the people of the United Slates by the examina tions of mining claims. The forest service has no apologies to make for having de feated the men who tried to get this timber under color of the mining laws. Where similar Illegal attempts are 'made in the future, It proposes to defeat them It If can. In every single Instance, whether the at tempt Is to take the claim for timber, for power, or for any other than legitimate mining purposes. On ths other hand It will do Its best to help tbe legitimate pros pectors snd miners and to give them ad vantages and protctlon which they do not enjoy on lands outside the national forests. Mr. Plnchot said that he was determined not to question the validity of any mining claim apparently held In good faith for mining purpose, and not adverse to the Interests of the government, no matter whether or not It probably contains a pay ing amount of minerals. . O a poult Ion Indicates Valae. "In other words." he said, "the benefit of every reasonable doubt Is to be given to the miner. There is a certain kind of opposition to the national forests which cannot and ought not to be removed. If there ware no opposi tion whatever to tbe forest ser vice. It would be the clearest possible In ill' 1 tloiTTliat ths service Is not doing ',ts duty. In the exercise of the duty Imposed upon It. the service haa tlms and again prevented rertain men or certain Interests frem get:ing th rgs they wanted, but engii' not to heve. snd from these men and these Interests the bitterest and most persistent part of the opposition haa ateadily oome. Such Interests are found, for example. In some of the great sheepmen who object to making room for the small asttler, or to such reduction on the number of their stock as is necesssry to protect the Irriga tion interests and from men who are en gaged in the formation .of a great water power trust. For the opposition Is hss ex cited from these Interests, the forest ser vice has no apologies whatever to make. It proposes -to stand resolutely by the policy of preferring to hejp the small man make a living than to help the large man make a profit, and It will not aban don the policy of government control of ths water power to prevent monopoly. If the attitude of the service In these matters leads to Irritation and denunciation, then let tha opponents of the service make the most of them. Neither Is this nor In any other salutsry policy adopted and main tained by the forest . servk-e will there be a single backward step." Italian Is Eleetroeated. ALBANY. N. T..

Hurrlman add their denials to that of Mr. Harrlman that any conference of railroad matters Is being held here by them or will be held. President J. T. Hara han of the Illinois Central Is the latest to sdd his protest that a conference la even contemplated. He says thst his presence here at the same time with Mr. Harrlman Is merely a coincidence. What about Mr. Hnrriman's coalition proposition with regard to railways?" said Mr. Harahan. "Well, the passing of an amendment to the Interstate commerce laws permitting the strong railroads to extend a protecting arm to the weaker ones Is a first-class business proposition. I believe It would give the best results." SEAT DJtAWING IN THE HOUSE (Continued from First Page.) called early enough to secure reasonably good selections. Uame Preserve Impracticable. Constituents of Senator Burkett recently auggested the creation of a fish and game preserve under the forest service In the uplands of western Nebraska, where there are many small lakes, and asked the senior Nebraskan to bring the matter before the department as the best means of protecting the game In that section from extermina tion. Senator Burkett haa just received a let ter from the forest service In which It Is stated that the suggestion Is not practical, In view of the fact that much of the land In question has been patented. W. II. Mast, supervisor of the Nebraska national forest reserve located at Halaoy, Neb., finds after investigation that much of the land surrounding the lakes Is valu able hay land and that but little remains In the hands of the government, and this being In small non-contiguous areas It would not be suitable for forest game pre serve purposes. .
