THE BEEmMAHA, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 7. 1917. 2 Nebraska , HOSPITAL MONEY - GIYEH BY HOUSE Medical School at Omaha Pro vided for by Item in Main tenance Bill. UNI CASH ALL TOGETHER From a Staff Correspoi dent.) ' Lincoln, March 6. (Special.) It was easy sledding for the appropria lions for the state medical school at Omaha, the hospital and the new building when the house took up the matter again today. The appropria tion went through in less than fifteen minutes. Shannon, Lovely and Hopkins, who yesterday surprised everybody by vot ing not to concur in the action of the house in appropriating $120,000 for ' the hospital and $100,000 more for a new laboratory building, voted in fa vor of the appropriation today, ex plaining their change from the fact that they did not like the way the aDDropnation had been made. Shan non, speaking for the trio, said they thought it should be put in with the other university maintenance bills in stead of in appropriation bills for each one. No Aid to Fightera. Mr. Dafoe, assisted by Mr. Leidigh tried twice to have the main univer sity bill amended so as to itemize the appropriations and reduce the total, but was unsuccessful in each attempt. He received no assistance either from Mr. Trumble, who started the fight on Monday, or from Mr. Taylor, who has heretofore been the legislative nemesis of university appropriations Both these gentlemen, in fact, were absent when the bill came up. iay lor came in later, but Trumble re mained away all forenoon. Richmond's Strategy. A clever piece of itrategy was culled off at the finish. It was an amendment to the university bill, offered bv Kichmond, tacking on to the measure the special appropriations of $120.UOO for a new laboratory at the medical college and $100,000 for maintenance of the hospital that has just been completed. These two appropriations had been carried by separate bills, which were laid over by the house on Monday along with the university bill. Over Mr. Dafoe's protest, the amendment was incorporated in the latter meas ure, and in that shape it was. advanced to third reading by a one-smea vote ,The two other bills were then indefi nitely postponed on Richmond's mo tion. This takes care of all the univer sity's activities and branches in one bill, thus meeting the objections voiced bv members who compiainea that the legislature was asked to ap propriate tor them m several aitter ent measures, thus making it difficult for the solons to know how much money they were actually authorizing to be spent. . Reference Bureau. An amendment offered by the finance committee was agreed to, niacin? the legislative reference bu reau's appropriation at $18,500 for the hiennium. This is $2,000 more than the amount Dreviously recommended Conditions are attached to the item that it is to include all expense for bill drafting and extra help in the next legislative session, and that Di rector Sheldon's maximum salary as the head of the bureau and secretary of the State Historical society snail not exceed $3,500 per year, of which $2,000 may be paid out ot this appro priation.

The attempt of Senator Moriarty to cen sure Senator Norris for his action in opposing President Wilson's armed neutrality bill did not get very far to day, amendments by Beal and Mc Mullen bringing up a discussion which finally ended in a motion to indefi nitely postpone the resolution. This lost by a vote of 12 to 20, two demo crats, Mattes and Strchlow. voting with the republicans to indefinitely postpone, with McAllister absent. After Moriarty had moved the adop tion of his resolution. Senator C. W. Beal of Custer offered a substitute motion ''disapproving the conduct" of a "small group" of fiiibusterers. This took the stinger .out of the original resolution. Then along came Senator Adam McMulIen of Gage with a second sub stitute, regretting the filibustering, but placing the fault on the house major ity for not amending the senate rules to prevent a minority from thus get ting the upper hand.

Moriarty, Oberlles, Robertson. Samuelson, Sawyer, Tanner, Wilson of Dodge and Wilton of Frontier. The senate then adopted Moriarty's motion to pass the resolution until Wedensday morning, so that every senator would have a chance to scru tinize the various printed resolutions. What Beal Would Do. This is Beal's resolution: Whereas, President Wilson's desire to be clothed with authority to arm vessels plan ing through the war sons was thwarted through dilatory tactics resorted to by a small group of United States senators In the last hours of congress, be It Resolved, By the senate of Nebraska, that we do not approve of the conduct of ssid group of senators, and we do not believe that their course in the premises' meets with the approval of the people of Nebraska or the people of the United Statci.

Dr. Caldwell' t Syrup Peptin an Ideal Remedy for Constipation In every family there is more or less occasion for a laxative remedy. It is to meet this need that Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is prepared and that this combination of simple laxa tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its pur pose is proven by its place in thou sands of American homes. Prof. F. J. C. Hertrog, the well known linguist, 2341 North Orianna St., Philadelphia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that he has used Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in his household with excellent results and that he and his family consider it indeed a friend in need and always keep a bottle of it on hand. Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condi tion that should never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and violent purga tives should never be employed to re lieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the entire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, it far preferable, being mild and gentle in its action, without griping or other pain or discomfort; its freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy lor children Dr. Caldwell'a Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug atores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle.
