NOTES ABOUT HOUSE AND SENATE.

Radical Measures of Nebraska Man
The Senate's Routine work.
WASHINGTON, Dec 10 -When the house
is in condition to proceed to business
Bryan of Nebraska will propose consti-
tItioual amendment that will, if adopted,
permit any state 10 elect its United States
senators By the vote of the people. An
other measure he has in view is to compel
the sale of all property under United
States court processes in the county where
the property is held, and causing the adj
vertising OF same to be likewise made in
the county. Another measure he proposes
to push to passage, if he can, is one pro.
viding that when a certain amount has
been realized the inventor of patented
article shall cease to be protected.

Representative Miller, of Wisconsin, a
Democratic member of the house, thinks
it would be waste of time to attempt
anything in the direction of general re
vision of the tariff bill with the presi-
dent and the senate against us" said
Miller in an interview, 1T would be i'm
possible to accomplish anything. We
may effect reduction by separate bills af-
fecting staple articles in general use, but
beyond that it will only be throwing time
away. My own idea is that we had better

Heck's Greenhouses.

To use an expressive phrase, Butler viii
be strictly in il in the Flower line this
year. The man with soul SO desd who
thinketh not of flower bed is not among, OF
of, US. And Heck is right by US when il
comes to posies as a visit to his well filled
greenhouses shows. Bananas, palms and
ferns greet the eye, and every where are
Begonias, Orchids, Lilies, Roses, Ger
aniums, Pinks, etc. There is fine
specimen banana, splendid Palm, a
beautiful Century Plant. Abutilon 5,
Hibiscus and Fuschias are prominent. The
famed Pitcher Plant is there Dozens oi
the sweet Pondederia, or Water Hyacinth,
which has been making quite stir among
lovers of aquatic plants.
Mr.. Heck will show buyers some genuine
bargains in some of the finer class of plants
this year He has superb lot of the
beautiful Lilium Anratum and the tropial
appearing Caladium Esculentum Cannas in
excellent variety from the Ehemanii to
Crosy's new French varieties, and let us
remark here that there is nothing that will
so add to the attractiveness of your lawn
as a judicious clump of Cannas. The
Ehemanii is almost equal in appearance to
the Musa or banana, and should be tried by
ALL There is no more valuable adjunct to
it than the caladium and Mr.. Heck's stock
is absolutely unsurpassed. His lilies in
pots and almost ready to bloom are fine
and cheap. The two most prominent are
the Roseum and the Ruballa and finer
plants and large bulbs can not be found.
One of the prettiest flowers is the gladiolus
and Mr.. Heck has an immenee lot of differ
ent priced ones in all varieties. Whatever
person may want in flower line he can
obtain it from Heck.
