STATE COLLECTS RENTALS
(From Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 20. (Special Tele
gram.) H. R. 616, introduced by
Murtey as a minor amendment to the
school land leasing laws and trans
formed by the committee on school
lands anS funds into a sweeping act
to provide for the immediate reap
nraisement of all such lands, with
the purpose of increasing their valua
tions and thus bringing the tempor
ary school fund a larger income, was
recommended to pass in the house to
day. .
A substitute bill by Mr. Ollis, dif
fering only in one essential provision
from the redrafted Muftey bill, was
before the house at the same time.
Where the Murtey measure proposed
to have the local assessors make the
new aoDraisement. subject to review
by the State Board of Educational
lands and funds, the (Jlus substitute
imposed that duty upon the land com
missioner's office, empowered that of
ficial to appoint the necessary as
sistants, and appropriated $15,000 for
expenses ot the reappraisement.
After voting down the Ollis sub
stitute bill, the house reconsidered a
previous action fixing the minimum
leasing income from a section of land
at $50 per acre and again knocked it
out. The bill was then advanced to
third reading.
The bill now provides that the lo
cal assessors shall reappraise all
school lands this year and each five
rears thereafter. The state will col
lect rentals at the rate of 4 per cent
from persons living on the leased
lands and 5 per cent from others not
living on the lands.

' Representatives to Floor
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 20. (Special.)
Members of the lower house of the
Nebraska legislature may be admitted
to the floor of the senate during the
remainder of the session during third
reading of bills. Lieutenant Governor
Howard this morning appeared before
the house and offered the olive branch
of peace in that form. The house has
as yet shown no sign of reciprocity.
Although' but three days of the
mythical sixty which is supposed to
be the limit of the working days of
a legislature are left, the house, com
posed largely of tillers of the soil, re
fused to speed up and though the
click, click, click of the corn planter
can almost be heard, the old tactics
of talking against time were con
tinued. Omaha Preacher Accepts

Kaiser Warned Clock of Democracy
Is Just About to Strike Once More
Berlin, Monday, March 19. (Via
London, March 20.) Philipp Scheide
mann, sociilist leader in the Reich
stag, says in the socialist newspaper
Yoerwaerti:
"It does not require many words
to explain why almost the whole
world is arrayed against us. The
answer is given quickly. The whole
world sees amcng our enemies more
or less developed forms of democracy
and in us it sees only Prussianism.
"We "have always answered by re
ferring to the absolutism of Russia,
but now uarism has gone and the
emperor's successor is to accept the
throne only if the representatives of
the people agree. These representa
tives are to be elected on the basis
of universal, equal, direct and secret
suffrage.
"In Asia the empire of the man
darins opposed every reform. They
desired an emperor with absolute
power as long as he did their will
and thereby undermined the mon
archy and laid the foundation of a
republic. In the European central
empires similar spirits seek to build
similar Chine: e walls and hinder
every reform. The clock shows five
minutes to 2. They imagine they
hold up the time when they move
back the hands to 11.
"Why does the chancellor shrink
back now from unconditional neces
sity? Always the hesitator, the
procrastinator, Bethniann-Hollweg
wants to begin to cure Prussia after
the war. Russia also promised all
reforms after the war, but the war
lasted too long for the Russians. Why

the king himself declared years ago
waa one of the most urgent matters
of the business of the state? Now

"A chang-: in the Prussian elector
system has been promised for a year

put into effect with all quiet thorough

an obvious fact. To demand it (or
tomorrow and at that in connection
with a hymn of jubilation for the

a venture that it must be rejected.
It is certain that Minister-President

Reisner and Cronin
Mix on Floor, With
. Words as Weapons
,(From Staff CorroBpomlont.)
Lincoln, March 20. (Special
Telegram.) If the democrats can't
make things interesting, republicans
can and this aftcrnqon a continued
discussion of the school lands leas
ing bill almost resulted in another
physical encounter in the house in
which the "Fighting Parson." as he
has been dubbed, Mr. Reisner, and
the '"Black liagle of the lilkhorn,"
Mr. Cronin, exchanged words which
caused the speaker to make a break
for his station, seize the gavel from
the hands of Mr. Moselev, who was
presiding over the committee of the
whole and frantically pound the desk
while the sergcant-at-arms rushed
over to Mr. Hesincr and besought him
to be calm.
Reisner had charged that the
amendment to the bill introduced by
Cronin was at the instance of Sena
tor Robertson and was unfair and dis
honest and all in the interests of the
cattle kings. He used the worts,
"steal" and "fraud" and charged that
the whole think would not bear the
light of day.
Cronin leaped to his feet and point
ing his finger at Reisner, shouted:
"You can't question my motives in
this matter and charge me with be
ing connected with any thing which is
dishonest. You can't throw me over
that rail and you better mt try it."
"I can throw you over that rail
if I want to, and don't you forget
it," Reisner shouted, and then came
a volley of words from both though
neither of them resorted to anything

Omaha Women to a Unit Declare
This "Closing Out" to Be
Buying Opportunity Fare
and Real. Garments .
by Hundreds Were '
Sold Monday.
PRICES REDUCED 'A, 1-3 ft V,
The Parisian Cloak Company,
318-320 South 16th St., has bten in
vaded; not by an enemy, but by an
army of friends. The invaders will
even deeply deplore the surrender
of The Parisian, for the passing of
this concern also means the passing
of the most startling sale of
women's garments yet offered to
Omaha women.
Yes, indeed, the crowds partici
pating Monday, the opening day of
The Parisian Cloak Co.'s Closing
Out Sale, were easily the largest
ever gathered at one time beneath
the roof of any one similar Omaha
establishment.
The advance advertising of the
slogan: "The Wreckers Are
Coming," excited the curiosity of
every reader of every newspaper
published in Omaha. Many thought
it heralded a new moving picture
serial. However, when the expla
nation came about in Sunday's pa
pers, women were glad to know
that the "Wreckers' " promised
visit was to be preceded by series
of striking apparel bargains, far
deeper in scope than any within
their memory.
Now then, in all seriousness I The
Parisian is to quit business. . The
present home of the Parisian is
soon to be the scene of falling
brick, loosening mortar, etc. Where
peaceful selling holds forth now
there will be substituted the
r-r-rip-p r-r-rip-p of parting lum
ber. Dust will fly. Stones will be
pried loose. Workmen will earn
estly but honestly ply their de
structive calling. "Soon one will
again see blue sky through a va
cant space. But this vacancy will
afterwards be the building site for
an immense new structure to be
reared upon this spot by enterpris
ing Omaha capitalists.
The Parisian, unfortunately, was
served with notice to vacate just as
it came in possession of a huge new
Spring stock. The management
had bought the stock thinking that
a few months of grace would surely
be accorded and that another
Spring season could be safely tided
over. . ' '. ' i .. . .
But, "The Wreckers Are Com
ing" in all earnestness, and "The
Wearables Are Going" in the in
terval. All stocks will go at prices
that will move them quickest
li off, 1-3 off and even '4 off re
ductions prevail. And don't let it
escape your mind ''for an instant
that the wearables offered are this
Spring's garments; choice, pre
dominating, partly made up, ex
quisitely fashioned products of
the effete east. The Parisian has
always held its head high on styles.
The buyers here are buyers in
every sense of the word. They
know a promising style a mile off.
But, even with all their cleverness,
they must stand by and see sac
rificed in price that which should
have brought a decent margin of
"Spring" profit.
Of course there will be a goodly
stock of wearables remaining here
for some days, all to be offered at
Parisian's Closing Out Sale Prices.
But, you, of course, know how
quickly the pcrtest garments are
chosen. Other women as well as
yourself know nobby clothes when
they see them and will annex them
selves all the quicker when offered
such incentives as M off, 1-3 off
and Vt off. So you see you would
better be here soon. ,
Make up your mind to join the
'linvading" - forces today 'or to
morrow. Attack the stronghold and
get a style that suits. No need to
forage, for the wearables will be
sold too cheaply to make that
necessary. Don't pay the first price
asked you by some cloak house or
other that is to stay in business;
instead see how much of a reduc
