CUTS OUT GRAFT
III DOUGLAS FAIR
Measure Found to Have De
feet Which Might Have
Affected System
Over the State.
By a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Jan. 30. Just at the nick
ot time a fatal defect was found in
House Roll No. 84, which, had it
followed, the usual progress through
the house and become a law, would
legislate all of the county fairs in
tne state ouL of existence.
1 lie bill was a measure intro
duced early in the session by Harte
of Douglas, and its specific purpose
was to put the Douglas county fair
out ot existence.
In explaining the bill on the floor
of the house Representative Harte
declared that for two decades the
Douglas county fair was a huge joke
and an expensive graft.
"It was run by a half dozen men
none of them farmers in the real
sense of the word, and through the
operation of the law they got the
county commissioners annually to
issue warrants ranging from $10,000
to $12,000 for the maintenance of
this huge graft
"On my retain after introducing
the bill I found that real farmers in
Douglas county had gotten together
and had organized a real agncultur
al society and wanted to operate a
real county fair. They thought they
could get along with $5,000, and so
I introduced an amendment to 'he
bill providing for this fund."
It was recommended that the
committee of the whole, when ris
ing, would report progress on the
bill, and this will allow it to go
back to the agricultural committee
for correction.
Bill Gives Doctors and
Dentists Right of Protection
Lincoln, Jan. 30. In a speech
recommending for indefinite post
ponement House Roll 46, a bill per
mitting doctors and dentists to form
a mutual insurance company for pro
tection against suits for malpractice,
Bryum of rrsnklin said it was
measure to legalize a corporation of
shyster doctors and dentists.
"The bill shows its purposes in
its provisions," said he. "It means
the legalizing of a corporation which
has in charge the lives and welfare
of people of Nebraska. We know
there are many doctors and dentists
tn the state who ought not to b
practicing their professions and this
means that the shyster dentists and
doctors can incorporate to protect
themselves against the just suits of
poor devils who have lost limbs or
have health permanently impaired
by their incompetence.
. "The reputable doctors and den
tists have their own organization
and I am opposed to legalizing this
proposed corporation."
Thompson of Lancaster said he
bill was for the benefit of the young
doctor or dentist who is just starting
out in practice.
Other speakers in favor of the bill
said that under present conditions
doctors are compelled to take out
insurance against - malpractice suits
from old line companies at exorbi
tant rates and a mutual company
would do away with this.
Byrums motion was lost by a
vote of 30 for and 34 against and the
bill was ordered engrossed for third
reading.

ment which holds that House Roll

per annum is collected from relatives
r : i. U ... .V- tn
OI insane paucuia wuu ic
nav something toward their support
and were House Roll 75 to become
a law this sum would have to be
made up every year in increased ap-
j ropriations.
He cites tne case or a man worm
from $40,000 to $SO,000 who declines
t., nav for the niaintenance of his
wife and the burden is laid on the
taxpayers of the state, stating tnai
thio U a rank injustice and one that
could be obviated by the enforce
ment of the present law.

and Robbins amendments with the
understanding that Senator Peterson
snouia nave aaainonai time to araii
his proposed amendment returning
50 per cent ot the assessment to tne
banker and retaining 50 per cent to
be set aside as a reserve fund.
With this proposed amendment
the senate decided to report prog
ress on the Good bill and take it
up at the next session of the com
mittee of the whole when Peterson
will have put his ideas into writing.

'You oueht to hear the way our
neighbors are talking about Tanlac
since my wife's recovery," said W.
A. Spivy, motorman No. 95, for the
Kansas City Metropolitan Street
Railway and 4 a valued employe of
the company for twenty-three years.
He and his wife and interesting
family of children, live in theiwown
home at 116 South Church St.,
Olathe, Kansas.
"Mrs. Spivy has been in poor
health for fourteen years," he con
tinued,, "and almost eyery month
during that time she was under
treatment of some sort, but she
never got; any relief that we could
notice. , She had no appetite and
there were mighty few things she
could eat and what little she did
force down soured on her stomach
and gas would form and make her
so miserable that she would have to
lie down for a while. She almost
always had an awful pain in the
small of her back and she suffered
from blinding headaches and some
times she would be bo dizzy she
would have to put her hand on
something steady like the back of a
chair to keep from falling. She
suffered from nervousness so that
some nights she could hardly sleep
at all and she never did know what
it was to get a good night's rest.
She kept growing weaker and weak
er and was so bad off that twice in
the past six years she was given up
to die. We thought we had tried
everything to help her and didn't
know what else to do when a lady
friend of hers told about Tanlac. I
bought the first bottle about three
months ago and almost at once she
began to show her strength was com
ing back, but the wonderful im
provement has been in the past two
months.
"She has a good appetite now,
and can eat anything she wants like
apples, cabbage, pies and meats of
any kind. Any one of these things
before she began to take Tanlac
were just like poison to her. She
doesn't suffer a bit from sour stom
ach or gas and she gets so much
good from what she eats that she
has gained twenty-eight pounds in
the past two months. She is en
tirely rid of that pain in her back
and the headaches are gone, too.
Nobody could tell that anything had
been the matter with her nerves,
they are so quiet now, and she sleeps
about nine hours every night. She
has gotten so strong that she is
doing all the housework for our
family of six and doesn't mind it a
bit, and it is the first time in twelve
years that she has been able to do
any work at all. She is more like
she used to be fifteen years ago
than I ever hoped to see her and I
feel just like everybody else that
knows of her improvement that Tan
lac is the best medicine ever made."

Debate in House Over
Name for War Costs
State $100 in Time
By a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 30. By ac
tion of the house of representa
tives of the legislature, after de
bate that cost the state about $100
in time lost, it was decided offi
cially, to christen the late war
"the world war."
The matter came up as the re
sult of a motion by Black of Lan
caster to amend House Koll No.
105, permitting the admission of
soldier of the world war to en
ter the Nebraska Soldiers' and
Sailors' home.
1 Black sought to change the
words, "the world war" to the
"war with Germany." There was
objection to this and a number of
members spoke against the amend
ment. One member moved an
amendment to Black's amendment,
proposing that the words, "the
kaiser's war," should be substi
tuted. This raised a laugh. The
original words, "the world wir"
were permitted to stand in the bill
as the official designation of ths
late unpleasantness.

Recital of Lord's Prayer
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 30. Senator

unison of the Lord's prayer.
Ihe teacher, also, by the pro
visions of the proposed law, will be

third Psalm, the Decalogue or the
Book of Proverbs.
Defect Found in Measure
Affecting Judges' Election
Lincoln, Jan. 30. After the com
mittee of privileges and election
had recon- .lended for passage the
repeal of the law providing for the
nonpartisan election of judges and
school officers, the committee found
that no provision had been made for
the election of judges and school
board officers by the Downing bill.
On account of this fatal ovcrsisht
the bill was sent to A. E. Sheldon
of the legislative reference bureau
