' Instraasoat.
I the "daylight saloon" bill constitu
tional? Thlt 1"4 fi'i'.'tlon agitating Omaha.
The possibility of fraud H the puilgt of
the bill doe not .enter Into the question, as
the supreme court him ruled several times
that the Journal of record cannot be Im
peached and haa barred testimony attempt
In to show that a bill was not passed
legally, provided the Journal showed that
a majority 'of the mrmbrri In either house
voted In favor of the bill.
The possible unconstitutionality of the
law la brought up on two points. One of
there Is the reported fsllure of the back
ers of the bill to repeal a conflicting sec
tion In tl Slocumb law and tha other Is a
possible violation of the constitution In
the manner of Printing the bill. On tha
lstter point the court would have to deter
mine what l( and what Is not printing.
Section II, article til of the state con
stltulton reads: . . , " '
Everv bill and conrurrocit resolution shall
be read at large on three different days in
each house and a hill and all amendments
thereto sh!l be printed before a vote is
taken on final passage.
During the rush of the lan few days of
the lcgila'.uie Trenroore Cone, chief clerk
of the house, did not want to take the time
to have the bills and amendments printed
in regular form anil therefore bougnt a
mimeograph, and the. copies of all measures
for each member were struck off on this.
The davllght saloon bill was one of those
printed" on the mimeograph.
"The product of a mimeograph machine
may be printed matter,"' said Walter P.
Thomas, attorney" and member of the lower
house, "but, the courts liave ruled that
typewriting ,is not printing and mimeo
graphing la quits similar to typewriting.
would rather rest a case on the printing of
the bill than on.tho possible conflict with
the Slooumh law."', .

EAS1 COMES WEST FOR WOOL
Buyers in the Field Offering Nineteen
Cents for Clip.
THIS IS BIO GAIN OVER LAST TEAR
Omahana Are trains Grower to
Get Twenty-Three Cents J
Ponaa or Send Their i
Wool Here. I
Advises received by Omaha bankers and
business men Interested In the wool iter
sge movement are to the effect that buyer
from the east are already In the field and
are offering 19 cents In Wyoming and
Montana for the clips. Some ars being
contracted.
This Is from 6 to 7 cents higher than
the prices received last jear. The clip
both In Wyoming and Montana la equally
as large.
To secure some clips, buyers have paid
as nigh as 21 cents, but Omahsns who are
posted are advising growers to get 23
cents or send the clip to Omaha for etor'
age, where It may be held, wltb every
chance of securing a price even better than
23 cents.
Goidbrkked -last year on their clip by
dealers who told that that 12 to 14 cent
wua the highest which could possibly be
paid as the tendency was downward, the
sheep barons saw their clip sold to the
commission men for 12 and IS cent and the
commission men received 20 to 23 and even
24 cents for the wool wtthlng three or four
months after the wool was sheared.
According to communication addressed
to Omaha one commission firm Is offering
to pay 19 cents for the clip and then pay
the storage charges on the number f
pounds of wool which growers contracted
to send to the Chicago warehouse. The
Omaha warehouse company and the busi
ness men Interested In the storage move
ment In Omaha did not require grower to
sign contracts that they would send any
specified amount of wool too Omaha. CM
cagn required this and now It 1 said the
wool must either go there for storage or
the company can collect the storage orr
the amount of wool contracted. Thl put
the growers in another peculiar position.
If 23 cents Is offered by the dealer and It
Is satisfactory, the grower are still com
pelled to pay a storsge charge In Chicago.
Whether the Chicago plant will enfore
such contracts In a matter of conjecture
with growers, but from letters coming Into
Omaha, the growers are satisfied their
friends are on the Missouri river.
Omaha Needs
Omaha Spirit
Advice Given by N. H. Loomis as to
Pushing the City's Interests
to the Front.
Coming to Omaha a a new resident and
looking for property, N. H. Ixiomls, general
solicitor for the Union Pacific Railroad
company, told real estate dealers at the
noonday meeting of the exchange Wednes
day that the values of property were far
too low In Omaha.
"Omaha has the location, start, opportu
nity and the business men; what the city
needs is, a revival of the Omaha spirit,"
said Mr. Loomis.
"This bragging proclivity of the average
cltixen of Chicago is what haa made Chi
cago, and you should brag a little, and
get your neighbor to brag; about Omaha
after learning how great is the city, for
out of the abundance of the heart th
mouth speaketh.
"From my observations In your city noth
ing but a miracle can stop the progress
and growth of Omaha, but you want to
teach your people more of Its merits. When
1 came to Nebraska from Kansas I could
find no history of Nebraska whloh could
be used as a textbook. If I may make the
suggestion, a history of Nebraska, with all
its romance, should be written and it
should be a ' text book In your schools.
On. aha should have a good chapter In this
history because of what Omaha has dons
for the state."

Members Together - After
Twenty Tears.
After twenty years of separation and
suspension of correspondence, a family of
three sisters and two brother were made
completely acquainted with the where
abouts of each other and four of them
learned that the elder brother, who had
been mourned as dead, wa a prosperous
ranchman and owner of mining stock near
Ryan, Wash. ' '
Newspaper stories brought- about the
restoration of the family clrc.'
John Hope Is the man wtioso -disappear
ance from hi ranch near Ryan two months
ago worried the neighbor, and started a
chain of police Investigation and newspaper
articles that not only cleared away all
trace of mystery from bis part of the case,
but also told his stepbrother and sisters
that he was alive and proaperous.
Mrs. Margaret Brown, wife of the cus
todian at the Rod and Gnu club; Mr.
Ernest Kttner, also of Omaha, and Mrs.
John Lawson of Irving-ton, Minn., are the
sister who had supposed their brother,
John Hope, had died since he left home
twenty years ago. Charles Gllligan of
Omaha, brother of Mrs. Brown and half
brother of Hope, was the fourth member
of the family who never expected to see
Hope again.
When letters concerning Hope's disap
pearance were received by the Omaha
police, they were printed In the newspapers.
Mr. Brown and Mrs. Kttner happened
to read them and eventually learned that
the missing man was their lost brother.
Gllligan was sent to Washington to In
vestigate the matter, which immediately
cleaned up when Hope waa found to have
returned to his ranch after a sudden busi
ness trip.

Or, heat the Biscuits in oven, dip them in milk, drain,

A little fruit makes the meal even more wholesome and adds

Shredded Wheat is made of the choicest selected white
wheat, cleaned, steam-cooked and baked. Try it for breakfast

Besides owning a large ranch 'between
Ryan and Arxlna In Washington, Hope Is
said to have valuable holding In gold
mine stock. It was on business connected
with the latter that he went to Spokane
and left some of his neighbors believing;
that he had met with foul play. He Is a
bachelor and until this spring lived alone
on his ranch.
Although Hope and the other members of
the family did not care for so much notor
iety, they are not complaining, for it was
through notoriety that they were brought
In touch with each other again.
