"First AM to
Volr,"
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 13. (Special.) Only
forty-six day remain In which Mr. Bryan
ha to line up his democratic members of
' the legislature In extra session and secure
the submJsHlon of the Initiative and
referendum. Ho the groat democratic
marathon has developed Into a raco be
tween Bryan and time. In order for the
proposed constitutional amendment to be
submitted to the people at the election
this fall, It Is necessary that It be ad
vertised for three calendar months before
election, consequently the amendment
. lmist ba published by August 1.
But there Is no feeling of discourage
ment around the Commoner office over the
' evident backwardness of the legislators In
Coming forward and signing up. Mr.
Bryan Is said to feel very much pleased
with the situation at this time and he has
been quoted as saying the "outlook gets
. brighter every day."
When he was told this yesterday Mr.
Hitchcock expressed great surprise that
the matter was even being considered and
lie remarked:
"Doesn't the Matute of limitation ever
run against that extra session?"
But even If Mr. Bryan should whip the
legislators In line and force the extra
session there Is no guaranty that the bill
would be passed by August 1. Oovernor
Ehallenberger Is not In favor of sub
mitting tq tha voters In one election thirty
or forty proposed laws such as It has been
reported to him Is the case In Oregon. The
governor Is In favor of the Initiative and
referendum, but he desires the subjects
which can ba submitted under the law
limited. The governor probably will say
something on this subject at the Central
City banquet tomorrow night.
OregonInltla.tlve Law Unlimited.
Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald of Colo
rado la not very favorably impressed with
tne Oregon Initiative tnd referendum law
as the one great remedy,' for the salvation
of the nation. Mr. Fitzgerald said while In
Lincoln yesterday that at this time there
Is being referred to the people forty pro
posed statutes that will be voted on at the
next election. According to the Colorado
rran the proposed laws are so complicated
and so numerous that It hos been found
necsaiy to issue a ilttle pocket edition
of a book known as the "First Aid to
Voters." In this book the various laws are
explained so that voters may study up on
what they are to vote on. These are be
ing distributed ,he said, over the state and
it is the general belief that 75 per cent
of them are thrown in the waste basket
without the person receiving it giving It a
thought. The Initiative and referendum
law In Oregon, he said. Is not limited, but
any ordinary question can be submitted to
the voters.
A Real Pioneer.
Former Representative Raper of Pawnee
county celebrated In Lincoln today the
mty-second anniversary of his arrival In
Nebraska. '
"It was Just fifty-two years ago this
morning," said Mr. Raper as he walked Into
the office of the clerk of the supreme court.
"that I crossed the river at Brownsville
Into Nebraska. I went Immediately to
Pawnee City and have lived there aver
since. At that time there was less people
In Nebraska tha nthere Is now In Lincoln,
but we, were all acquainted those days
Neighbors sometimes were fifty miles apart
and very few between. I believe the cenBus
gave Nebraska about 40,000 in the early
sixties. 1 I Joined tha arm In Omaha, in '62."
. Mr.' Raper will be 7tf years old next Octo
ber and la now on his wy to Portland to
.spend the summer as he did last year. His
I IS years rests more lightly upon his shoul
'tlers than SO years rest upon tha shoulders
of many men.

Located.

the institution. There were about fifteen
cities In tha race, and all of them had rep
resentatives present to meet tha location
committee and lay their proposition before
them. Omaha and Holdrege were the only
two cities from Nebraska.
Although taken numerically, tha Swedish
Mission church is not exceptionally strong
In the United States, It hus an unusually
wonderful growth in Nebraska, and there
ara now churches of the denomination in
every Swedish community, and all of tha
larger of lies of the state.
The members of the church In Nebraska
have contributed more for tha proposed col
lege than any otlher state, and of the
amount over $2,000.00, Phelps county has
given a rarge per cent. For this reason the
local men urged the claims of this city with
mora emphasis, and they had In addition,
the assurance of the Commercial club, that
If the college colud ba gotten here, an ex
cellent site for the college would be given
to them, together with a cash bonus of
15,000.00.

various claims of the cities In the race for
the Institution tho committee docided o de
fer action, ond take the matter under
special advisement later on. It is thought
that the location may be definitely decided
upon, however, until the next meeting of
the general assembly which In all proba
bility, be in this state next May.

Chief Forester
Idaho Senator defers to Former Of
ficial as Apostle of Fallacy,
Theory and Ignorance.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-When the sen
ate today resumed consideration of the
public land withdrawal bill Mr. Heyburn
declared the proposition to withdraw the
public lands for so-called conservation to
be "a political Impertinence on the part of
the people of the east." He said that In
the great falls of the Potomac there was
"enough water power to move every wheel
In tho District of Columbia."
Conservation should begin at home, he
said, and he advised the national govern
ment to give its attention to the water
power possibilities nearer tha centers of
population where they would ba made
available,
"And now comes this apostle of fallacy,
theory and Ignorance, the ex-forester of
the United States, who is reported to be
opposing this exception," he added.
Senator Hughes of Colorado declared that
the present tendency was towards a feudal
system, "like that which had disgraced
Ireland and made progress in Germany
impossible." Mr. Hughes scoffed at the
idea that the country's resources were ex
hausted and declared it would take 900
yeui-s to mine out the coal that is known
to exist in Colorado alone. In addition he
quoted reports of the geological survey to
show that there 'were 7,000 years open to
coal mining in the world.
Senator Corter offered as an amendment
to the bill the provisions of the bill, which
heretofore had passed the senate and which
authorized the issuance of 30,000,000 of cer
tificates of Indebtedness with which to
complete existing irrigation projects. Sen
ate adjourned 'without action on it.

Tomorrow morning we will place on sale several
magnificent piano bargains in slightly used pianos.
Magnificent because few of them have not been used
to any extent. They were received in exchange from
people who purchased pianos and piano players from
our great Smith & Nixon, Richmond and. Piano
Player stock.
Quite a number of these pianos came in exchange
for players because of their inability to play a piano,
therefore some of them are almost new. We also
have a large number of pianos that came in from
rent, little used. These pianos have gone through our
factory and are almost new, and now on our floor
and we must have the room. THEY MUST AND
WILL BE SOLD AT ONCE.
The usual low price made, marked plain on each
one, removes all doubt on that score. This is no BIG
SALE. It lasts only the time necessary to dispose
of these pianos for semi-annual inventory, but shrewd
and economical buyers will find this the real piano
opportunity of the season. Don't fail to call and
investigate at least. yz
