H Is said It will not pass In that shape, but could very likely be passed by fixing some hour between 8 o'clock and 11 o'clock, the pres ent closing hour. The first move towsrd changing the Initiative and referendum provisions of this state was made In the senate resoltit on by Hartlne for a constitutional amendment to Increase the number of signers re quired on a petition to submit or refer a law, from 6 per cent of the vote of the last previous election, to 26 per cent of such vote. This, It Is hoped, would reduce the number of laws which would be car ried to the people for a vote after the legislature had showed Its desire.

Direct Election of Senators Favored by Senate Committee Resolution Authorizing Amendment to Constitution Will Be Reported Strong Opposition to Measure. WASHINGTON. Jan. 10-Th e senate com mittee on the Judiciary today reached a decision to report favorably the sub-committee resolution authorizing an amend ment to the constitution providing; for the elecUon of United Slates senators by direct vote of the people. The controversy In the committee turned upon the question as to whether the state or uie rexierai government should super vise the elections. The sub-committee's report directs that the times, places and manner of holding; the elections shall be prescribed by the state legislature. - Senators Pepew and Nelson both offered amendments giving congress the power to regulate, but the southern senators opposed these provisions as most prejudicial to the Interests of their constituents. The two amendments were similar, but Mr. Depew's went farther than Mr. Nelson's In the matter of prescribing the qualifications of lectors. Both were voted down, S to 3. While greatly encouraged at the progress made the advocates of the change, which would take the election of senators from the. state legislatures and. place them In the hands of the people, are by no means sanguine of Immediate success. There Is strong opposlUon In the senate to the pro vision and It Is expected the measure will die with this congress. Never before has a favorable report on a similar measure been received from the Judiciary committee.

"Art and literature are in a higher state toduy than during the time when Greece was enjoying her most enlightened period." That was the opinion given yesterday afternoon by Prof. Paul H. Grummann of the chair of modern Germun literature of Nebraska university In the course of a lecture at the public library. Prof. Grummann said the greatest development in literature and art In all the ages was made during the nineteenth century. "It is because of the growth in realism," he said, "and realism Is the direct out growth of modern science. Science has taught us to be more accurate and accuracy has extended through all our artistic en deavors. It was only In the nineteenth cen tury that mountains became really beauti ful to us. The painters of the olden times did not paint mountains. They painted pictures in which was what they called mountains, but really were blocks or masses of color. Only In the last fifty years have our magazines begun to develop. They have become more accurate. Their illustrations are far different from those of a half century ago. Then they came from the Illustrator's mind and were con sequently not real. Today we hav. exact reproductions mechanical, scientific repro ductions. This was brought about by our growing development In realism. We want things In picture, story or drama true to life. "The nineteenth century shows a great step forward in this way for the press. The press has gotten down to f.i ts. News papers have made a tremendous advance ment toward realism. Nowadays they want facts. Our ideals have changed and our institutions have changed."

OLD SUIT STILL HANGS FIRE Has Been In Controversy for blent Years and Dana flays He Looks for Settlement Before He Leaves Office. Litigation between th. city of Omaha and the Paciflo Express company over taxci for the year 1902 will probably be settled by compromise In the .near future. Aslntant City Attorney I. J. Dunn, who is representing the city, has made sug" s tlons to Attorney Edson Rich, representing the express company, whereby a settlement cat. be effected. The litigation arose In iX2, when holdings of the Pacific Express company, whose general offices were In Omaha, was as sessed at SG.orO.OOO. An Injunction suit was brought by the attorneys of the express company and a temporary Injunction granted, restraining the city from levying on a $5,000,000 assessment. The company claimed the amount was unreasonable, as It should not be made to pay taxes on properties and franchises, which covered a territory of twenty-two slates and the Dominion of Canada. Since the Injunction was granted the case has remained stationary. Wants to Settle Litigation. As Mr. Dunn's term of office expires I soon he wishes to get the litigation settled, j Attorney Rich now has the offer of Mr. ! Dunn under advisement and a reply is an ticipated within a few days. Mr. Dunn has suggested that the entire earnings of the express company for that year be taken as the basis on which to ar rive at an amicable settlement. By taking the entire earnings of the com pany and determining the Intra stat. earn ings, Mr. Dunn contends that the Interstate earnings can b. computed and In this way the value of the franchises of the company In the various state! can be determined. Then It will b. an easy matter to get at the bottom of the assessment differences, according to Mr. Dunn. "Once the value of th. franchises are determined. It will be an easy matter to regulate the assessment." said Mr. Dunn. "When the express company's holdings were assessed at $5,000,000, the foreign hold ings were estimated at W.000.000. In fact, that was the amount the company was In corporated for. That would leave $5,0U0,W)0 assessable property and that was the amount of the assessment. "The cas. has laid quiet so long that It is time for something to be done. The city is entitled to the money and I propose to collect these back taxes. If possible." Medicines that aid nature ar. always most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough Remei y acts on this plan. It allays the cough, relieves the lungs, opens th. se cretions and aids nature In restoring the system to a healthy condition. Thous ands have testified to Its superior ex cellence.

The plant of the Alfalfa Meal company at Tenth avenue and Twelfth street, Coun cil Bluffs, valued at about $T0.000 and cov ered by Insurance, was totally destroyed by fire Monday. A small fire In the hay shed adjoining the main building of brick, presumably started by a spark from a switch engine on the Rock Island tracks nearby, was discovered at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and extinguished by the fire department. Again at 6 o'clock the fire broke out and the fire companies, after throwing a large amount of water, apparently extinguished It. But a few smouldering embers must have been left, for at 11 o'clock the whole building was discovered to he nn fire. The fire companies fought desperately, but were unable to cope with the situation and within a short tlm. th. building was In ruins. The hay shed In which the fire originated Is said to have contained $5,000 worth of hay. The company had a Joint contract with the Omaha Alfalfa Milling company to buy from a large number of western farmers all their alfalfa at $7 a ton. f. o. b., a fact said to account for the large value of hay In the shed, some 6,000 tons of alfalfa. The building was owned by th. First National bank of Council Bluffs, Ernest D. Hart, president, and waa valued at $10,000, an amount fully covered by Insur ance. It was a three-story brick affair with a basement, lying to th. west of ths hay shed, and originally built for a can ning factory. M. M. Green of New York City la presi dent of the company and J. T.
