Miss Abbie Warrendorph in Flo

says: "Miss Nebraska's artistic

One seldom finds these qualities.
She touches the high &C" perfectly

her enunciation is so perfect and

Nebraska's great success and Of the
fact that she possesses great talent
as an actress, we hope to hear the
young artist often, believing that
she will, through regular practice,
acquire more routine than she was
able to show on her debut. Her
sympathetic appearance also gives
us reason to believe that she will
enjoy high popularity during the
season.

LIGHTING THE CAPITOL.
An Appropriation to Provide for EIec-
tric Lights.

An Appropriation to Provide for Elec-
tric Lights.
1t Is the ultimate hope of the members of
the Senate committee on rules that some
day the water power at Great Falls may be
tarnessed and made to produce electricity,
with Uncle Sam managing the wire gates
and the switchboards. By this means, they
believe, the Capitol. as we'll as all the other
public buildings, and perhaps the streets,
may be lighted. But that is far in the
future, and meanwhile the legislators must
have light. The present plant Is very much
overworked, and it has been estimated
that the present pressure upon the dyna-
mos is dangerous. Some temporary pro-
vision must be made, and so the committee
on appropriations inserted a new paragraph
in the sundry civil bill authorizing the ar
chitect of the Capitol, with the approval of
the committees on rules, to arrange with any
existing local electric lighting company to
furnish a current for the Capitol building
at a rate not exceeding half a cent per
hour of burning of a nominal sixteen candle
power incandescent lamp or its equivalent
This arrangement is to be for a period not
exceeding one year. The architect is also
authorized to grant permission to the COM
pany undertaking the work to lay an un-
derground conduit through the Capitol
grounds in order to connect it's supply
mains with the building. No expense is to
be charged to the government for laying
such mains, and any injury to the grounds
or appurtenances will be repaired by the
company. No appropriation Is made by
the bill 70 cover this contract.
These amendments to the bill were agreed
to today without any debate.

THE PRINTING OFFICE SITE
Feeling in the House Over the Senate
Amendment.
Some VIII Fight the Malone Site and
More to Substitute "a Public
Reservation.

Considerable interest is taken by men,
bers of the House in the action Of the Sen
ate committee on appropriate lions in tack
ing an amendment to the sundry civil bill
Providing for the purchase of the Manone
site for government printing Office. There
mas been great division of opinion among
members Of the House upoa TIE question
or site, which finally resulted in total
inaction on the part Of the House. With
the prospect that nothing could be done
at this session of Congress. The action of
the Senate committee has revived the hope
or some Congressman tnat a way out of
the difficulty is now presented.
Fight fn the House.
III that amendment is agreed to in the
Senate and comes over to the House there
is still. however, grave probability that IL
may not be agreed to- and at least a strong
fight will be male against t.. The one en-
couragement for the amendment lies in
the argument which the advocates of the
Malone site made when the bill was up in
the House several weeks ago. mainly that
1t would be better to take the Malone site
than not 70 have any bill at all at this
session. The members of the appropriation
committee OF the House will not discuss
the Senate amendment at this time They
say tnat IL VIII come up in conference,
probably, and that they do not want to
commit themselves for or against &.
The Reservation Men Pleased.
There is an element in the House which
is very much pleased at the action of the
Senate committee in proposing the amend
ment. This element is composed of the peo-
pie who insist upon erecting a government
printing Office upon a public reservation.
They will move to amend the Senate
amendment by striking out the provision
Tor the Malone site and inserting the clause
providing that a public reservation shall he
selected. They think that this motion will
carry, and that by means Of an amendment
to an appropriation bill they will accomplish
the purpose which they failed to achieve
in a separate bill.
What Mr.. Richardson Says.
Mr.. Richardson, chairman of the COM
mittee on printing, who has been fighting
a LONG time for government printing
office to replace the present dangerous
structure. said in reference to the Senate
amendment Il am so radically in favor of
a new building that 1 will be willing to
agree to almost any kind of a bill which
VIII provide one. L have thought hereto
FORE that the Malone site was too expen-
sive, and the joint committee on printing
reported favorably upon a site which can
be bought for 100000. However, as the
session Is drawing to an end and the pros
pect or getting separate bill through
seems very slim, I will be willing to agree
10 compromise of almost any measure
Just SO We can get a government printing
office, and that quickly"

that upon their arrival within the territory

taken OFF under habeas corpus which would
doubtless be followed by their release The
