How Many Sheep Dog
Sills.
BRING OUT MORE BILLS
(From . Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb, April 2. (Special
Telegram.) Notwithstanding the end
of the session is very year, the house
continued its time-killing tactics this

more sheep than an automobile could
kill chickens.
A bill taxing dogs was under dis

'ill kinds of comedy and all kinds of
amendments both tragic and comic
had been attempted.
As if enough time had not been
taken in the matter, when a vote on
the bill came, a demand was made for
a roll call. The bill was killed. Then
a motion to "rise and report" came
up, and although some of the mem
bers wanted to keep at it and clean
the board of the bills left, the motion
carried. Then it was discovered that
. in a former action all bills riot dis
posed of by tomorrow morning would
be postponed. Then a motion was
made to reconsider and the oratory
was on again. It carried and the
house will take the thing up again to
morrow. Bring Out Bills.
The house, having voted to kill all
of its own bills left on the sifting file
bv Tuesday morning, hurried to get
through the list before adjournment
Monday afternoon. It advanced these
to third reading: .

"I find that there are three counties
in the Eleventh judicial distritt west

Joker in Bill Takes Rap
At the Solons Themselves
From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, April 2. (Special.) Who
is the joke on? The house has passed
a bill known as H. K. 794, which after
it had passed through the hands of
the finance committee, was discovered
to contain a clause that any individual
drawing a salary from the state of
Nebraska is prohibited from engag
ing in any other business for pay.
The hill was aimed at certain of
6ce holders who have been in the
habit of working on the side and tak
ing in a few sheckles to assist in
solving the high cost of living prob
lem. The joke comes when it is taken
into consideration that a member of
the legislature is paid a salary of $(U0
for the biennium for his services. Un
der the bill a farmer cannot receive
an income fronl his farm, a lawyer
cannot practice law nor can any otiier
member with other vocation receive
any money except that which comes
to him as a member of the legislature.

Patriotic Pilgrims ;
.For Washington
New York, April 2. Several thou
sand militants and nearly a thousand
pacifists filled a number of special
trains for Washington which left
New York today beginning shortly
after midnight. Although the advo
cates of peace were outnumbered they
got away first, eight hours in advance
of the first train bearing those who
styled themselves "patriot pilgrims"
and who favor war.
Each pacifist carried a white tulip
and wore an arm band inscribed "keep
out of war." Prof. Ellery C Stowell
of Columbia university, who' led the
war pilgiims, said he expected nearly
20,000 persons would go from New
York on this errand. "Why should pa
triots go to Washington now," begins
a statement issued by the committee
in charge of the war pilgrims. The
statement continues:
"The hour has struck to put an end
to the Prussian oligarchy and the
house of Hohenzollern. There can,
be no peace or democracy in the'
world until those enemies of democra
cy bite the dust."
