OMAHA, Neb. 27.-The Nebraska leg
islature adjourned sine die at Lincoln
this morning al o'clock. Among the
principal bills passed during the last
hours of the session was the high IL
cence bill for saloons, which goes into
effect ninety days hence. In cities of
over 10000 people the license is 81 200
per year, and in smaller cities $780, Sa-
loon keepers must give bond of So
600, and they are made responsible for
civil damages. No screens are to
be permitted in saloons. Drug.
gists do not have to take out
a license. An anti-treating bill was
also passed, making it a miSdemeanoE
for one man to treat another. All through
the legislature strong fight was made
by temperance agitators to pass the bill
submitting the prohibitory constitution
al amendment to a vote of the people
but this bill, requiring a three-fifths vote
of the Legislature, was defeated, but by
only two votes. The above bills were
then passed as compromise. The leg
islature passed bill submitting woman

TO the vote of the people at the genera
election in 1882. The anti-railroad leg
islation is not considered adverse or I'm
fair to railroads. even by themselves.
