SENATORS STIRRED
BY SEWAGEPROBLEM
Measure Fostered by State
Engineer Johnson Killed
in Upper House.
FOREST BILL IS FAVORED
'(Prom a Staff Correspondent.) v
Lincoln, Feb. 14. (Special.) A bill
which will permit building and loan
association claims to be ajudicated in
the county, in which the cause for
action arises, broughton a long dis
cussion in the senate today and Adams
of Dawes, its introducer explained
that associations violated contracts
knowing that poor people out in the
state have not the means to make a
fight for their rights.
Several amendments were offered to
the bill, but they were all killed and
the bill was recommended for passage
by a vote of 17 to 9.
While the house killed the' state
forcstation commission last week, it
will have another chance tp go on
record on the matter of the develop
ment of the sand hills, as the senate
recommended for passage among
other bills today S. F. 58 by Adams,
a companion bill to the one killed in
the house.
Roused Over Sewage.
The senators engaged i na little
wordy conflict in which the words,
"crooks, boodlers and pilferers" were
used. The bill under consideration
was one introduced by request of
State Engineer Johnson which em
powered cities under 5,000 to have
sewage systems and disposal plants
erected by the mayor and council in
stead of by petition. A majority of
the property holders had the right to
protest.
McMullcn used such words as
"outrageous and damnable" being
aimed at that "foreign gang," a cor
poration of Dcs Moines. Bushee
stuck up for the. state engineer and
protested ' against the unfounded
charges.
Senator Albert in' a dry way said
that he had never known there was so
much wickedness in the world or that
so much villainy could be put in a
hill. Howell and Hammond both saw
"pernicious" thfhgs in the bill and it
. was killed.

TO SUPPLANT FORMER LAW
(From a Staff Correspondent)

spection of oils at the old rate of 10
cents a barrel will continue, not
withstanding the opinion of the su
preme court last Tuesday, Chief Jus
tice --Morrissey declared in an order
today that although the court has
held the law invalid, the old law will
stand until further order of the court.
The order says:
But It appearing that the law roqulrss

ran ho aolrt In this state, and that It Is
equitable thai the expenso of Inspection
should be paid by the defendant oil com
panies, It Is ordered and adjudged that the
order entered herein on January 21, 1.116,
on stipulation of tho parties be. and hereby
Is, continued in force, and that all moneys
collected under said order and paid to the
clerk of this court bo retained by him until
further order of the court.
The stipulation referred to was that
the companies should continue to pay
the 10-cent fee, but the surplus, after
the expenses of the actual inspection
was met, was to he turned over to
the clerk of the supreme court.
The house Tuesday rushed a hill
fixing fees at 5 cents a barrel
through from a standing committee
to third reading, and over to the sen
ateall in the same day.
This measure, if it passed, will sup
plant the old law and will apply as
soon as the governor signs it. It

House Unanimously Favors Bill
x to Make Change of
Location.
'CIGS" BARRED TO MINORS
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Feb. 14. (Special.)
Transfer of the state bacteriological
laboratory from the control of the
State Board of Health in its present
location in the state house to the
jurisdiction of the university regents,
with location with the school of medi
cine at Omaha, was the subject of
much discussion ui the house today.
Many members opposed the bill be
cause they did not Relieve it the
proper thing to put the university in
control of so many activities of the
state, especially one that had nothing
to do whatever with education. Grecn
walt said there would he just as much
justice in taking the Slate Board of
Control, the State Railway commis
sion or the attorney general's office
to Omaha and placing them under the
state regents.
Petersen of Lancaster wanted the
house to understand that if the bill
was passed it must 'not he charged up
to the state university of one of the
activities connected with education.
To Provide Adequately.
Hoffmeister, father of the bill, said
there was no move against Dr. Wild
to deprive him of his position as state
bacteriologist, as he had been already
appointed for another term, but it was
Vdone so that sufficient assistance could
be given bun to ii the work and not
cost the state anything.
The idea of getting something for
nothing struck the house in such a
favorable light that the hill was rec
ommended for passage by a practic
all'' unanimous vote.
The house slipped a cog on the
something for nothing idea the next
move and recommended a raise to
'supreme court stenographers from
$1,000 a year to $1,200 a year. An at
tempt was made by Dr. Hoffmeister
to show that the job of supreme court
stenographer was not so much of a
job alter all. "It only takes six weeks
to learn enough to fill a job like that,"
said the doctor, "and anybody can do
it."
Year's Study Necessary, i
This brought Conley of Jefferson to
his feet. Conley runs a business col
lege at Rairbury, and he wanted the
gentlemait from Cass to understand
that it took at least a year to become
proficient enough as a stenographer to
hold down a decent job at a good sal
ary. " He said that $1,200 a year was
not any too much for a stenographer

Tersom suffering from catarrhal deafness

extent that the tick of a watch was plainly
audible seven or eight inches away from
either ear. Therefore, if you know of some
one who is troubled with head noises or
catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula
and hand it to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer per
haps from total deafness. The prescription
can be prepared at home and is made as
follows ;
