JOINT COMMITTEE
ON DRY LAW IN ROW
First Session to Consider Bills
to Enforce Amendment Far
from Harmonious,
DRUGGISTS FOB BONE DRY
(From ft SUff Corrsspoudsiit.)
Lincotn, Jan. 21 (Special.) The
joint committee of the two houses of
the Nebraska legislature is finding
hard bledding so far in an effort to
urcc on what kind of prohibition leg
islation shall be enacted. The five
members from the house, Norton of
I'olk, Thomas of Box Butte, Hostet
iler of Buffalo and Flansburg and
Waitc of Lancaster, all from dry ter
ritory, if the vote on the prohibtion
amendment isi to be considered. Polk
county gave 808 majority for the dry
cause; Box Butte. 353; Buffalo, 868,
and Lancaster, 5,202. so that the wets
have no representation on the house
committee whatever. The senate com
mittee is composed of Bcal of Cus
ter. Crjappell of Kearney, Sawyer of
Lancaster, Sandall of York Neal of
Nemaha. Albert of Platte, Moriarty of
Uuiig1asv Howell of Douglas, Mattes
i Otoe and Kohl of Wayne. Custer
Kve 1.914 majority for prohibition;
York, 1,197; Nemaha, 502; Lancaster,
5,202; J'latte, 800 against; Douglas,
10,501 against; Otoe, 71 against, and
Wayne 75 for, so that the senate com
mittee has four members who came
from wet territory against six who
represent counties which, gave dry
majorities, although the senator from
Wayne, which gave a small dry ma
jority, is considered wet.
Druggists for Dry State.
At the meeting last night Moriarty
of Douglas chargei the druggists with
some things which N. P. Hansen, a
druggist who was present, did not
like. He "stood up for Douglas coun
ty" by resenting what he termed slan
ders on the metropolis of the state
and made his ret. larks so emphatic
that at times it appeared that the
meeting might adjourn a la Kilkenny
cat.
Charles Sherman of Omaha said the
druggists did not want to take over
the saloon business, but desired that
the state be made as "bone dry" as
possible. He was backed up by two
other druggists, Pease of Fairbury
and Hansen of Lincoln. '
Representative Olson said that he
wanted the state just as bone dry as
it was possible to make it. He had
been over into Iowa and discovered
more drunkenness there under prohi
bition than he had ever seen in Ne
braska, and all because liquor was al
lowed to be shipped in.
Senator Moriarty wanted- to know
if Olson would prevent him from
coming home from Chicago with a
bottle of whisky for Iris own use. Ol
son replied that' he merely wanted to
prevent bootlegging.
Wants a Dry State.
Captain Dolan, a former merchant
of Western, said that the dry people
had made promises before election
that the personal consumption of
booze would not be interfered with
and it was upon this proposition that
the state went dry. He wanted pro
hibition that would really prohibit or
ncJne at all.
Representative West of York
county totcf of York county's long
dry period and of his own long rec
ord of sobriety and pleaded with the
committee to make the whole state
just as dry as York.
Senator Moriarty objected to slurs
cast at the metropolitan city of the
state and told West to cut out the
"sob stuff." He asked the druggists
who they were representing and in
turn was asked by West who he was
and who he represented.
"I am a lawyer and 1 am not work
ing for any soulless, corporation,
either." quickly answered the senator
from Douglas.
Representative Jim Auten of Boone
cut in with the remark that the courts
had decided that about one-half of
the lawyers were wrong, and lie would
place the suggestion before the com
mittee without further comment.
Senator McAllister of Antelope
thought the committee would not get
very far by attacking the personal
record of any member of the com
mittee, and the meeting adjourned
with ruffled feelings somewhat
quieted.
The committee will try again nesl
W ednesday night, but referees will be
appointed to have charge of the pro
ceedings and the sheep will be sep
arated from the goats.
Burglary at Table Rock.
Table Hock, Neb., Jan. 2X( Spe
cial.) Burglars visited Table Kock
Sunday night and broke into the of
lice of the Table Rock Lumber com
pany by kicking in a rear window in
the office. Nothing of value has been
missed. however, although every
nirhe and corner had been searched
and papers scattered over the floor.
The knob had been broken off of the
safe by a hand axe belonging in the
office.

TWO YEARS' WAIT
' AFTER. D1Y0RCE
Reed of Hamilton Ha Measure
to Make Remarriage More
Difficult.
ANTI-NEPOTISM COMES UP
(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 23. The individuals
expecting to get a divorce and marry
again will have to hurry, if a bill in
troduced by Reed of Hamilton, be
comes a law. Under the preient law
a person may remarry after a period
of six months has Dsssfi, but under
the Reed bill they will have to wait
two years.
Another bill would not require
county judges to be lawers in coun
ties of less than 5,000 population.
This came up in committee of the
whole, but was killed. Three lawyers
helped kill it Peterson, Fultz and
McAllister.
Anti-Nepotism Bill.
The Howard anti-nepotisnK bill
called for seven speeches from Mr.
Howard and three or four more talks
from other members. Once again his
tory was broken and Richmond and
Howard were both found advocating
the passage of the same measure. An
amendment which would make the
engagement of relatives or affinities
illegal extending to the first, second
"and third degree caused most of the
fireworks, and one man suggested he
did not know there was any more
than one degree to an affinity. "It is
my observance that an affinity is al
ways in the first degree."
The bill however, was reported out
for passage.
Reifenrath Heard From.
Considerable amusement was occa
sioned when a telegram was sent to
the clerk's desk announcing the birth
of a sou to Representative and Mrs.
Reifenrath. Mr. Reifenrath was called
upon and in response said that be was
the proudest man in the United
States.
"ft is a great thing to be a father,
just as great as it is to be a grand
father as is our chief clerk, Mr.
Potts." said he. "It is a bad condi
tion when one has to remain a bache
lor. A bachelor is nothing but a ring
with the circle rubbed out."
Bachelor vs. "Grandpa."
Greenwalt, chief bachelor of the
house, was called on to respond and
he said that he would admit it was
a great thing to be a father and per
haps also to be a grandfather.
"But what does a grandfather
amount to," said he with a flourish of
hishand. As soon as he becomes a
grandfather he is laid on the shelf,
but how about a bachelor, he is al
ways in demand."
Representative Osterman of Mer
rick was for the first time in his seat.
He has been under the care of a spe
cialist in Omaha for some time on ac
count of failing eyesign't. He was
called on to preside at the' session of
committee of the whole.

for ease of action, for almost noiseless motion and econ
omy of effort on the part of the operator and it does
more and better work in a given time.

ABOUTVALUATION
Missouri Pacific Railroad
Wants Its Property Evalu
ated by Hurd's Estimate.
BATTLE TO RAISE FARES
K. C. llunl, valuation mincer of
l!.e Miisouri 1'acilic Kailway company
was examined before Special Master
Frank Gaines in the case in which the
Missouri l'acific seeks to enjoin the j
state and the railway commission
from intcrfcrin. with its advance in
passenger rates above the regula
tion 2-cent fare.
Mr. llunl some time ago made a
valuation of the road which the state
railway commission declares was
never accepted. The commission
holds that he made up his valuation
from data found in the offices of the
Missouri l'acinc instead of goiiig out
and making a hrst-haud survey of the
valuations. The Missouri I'acilic is
seeking to use this valuation as ci-
dencc in the case to show that more
! than a .' cent passenger rate is neces- i
sary to pay out on the investment. U. !
(j. 1'owcll, rate expert tor the state
railway commission, and Attorney
General Willis K. Keed are cross-cx-
I hiiiiiuik itie iuniaiiy a wuueaacs.
i The commission and the company
j are practically agreed, it is said, on
: the quantity of equinnicTM of the road.
but the difference of opinion comes on
the valuation of the same.
The company holds that the value
of the new equipment recently added,
plus the valuation given in 1909,
makes a total valuation of the road
! i Nebraska of $19,000,000. The com
mission contends the valuation is
much less.
The hearing is on in the office of
Frank Gaines, 1004 City National
Hank building.
