PUTTING ON final touches.
One or Two Changes of Interest Made in
Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--The majority
members of the committee on ways
and means, with the exception of Mr.
Cochran, were in session several hours
today considering proposed amend
msnts to the Wilson bill to be offered
by the committee. A number of
changes were agreed upon.
One makes two classes Of cigarettes
tobacco and paper. The rate upon the
former was fixed at rs cents thousand,
while that upon paper cigarettes was
left at 81 80 The reason for this action
rs explained, was that the paper. cigar
cites are made by machinery, while the
tobacco cigarettes are produced largely,
if not entirely. by hand.
The restriction upon the free admis-
sion of books, engraviugs, photographs,
bound or unbound etching5, maps, or
charts, that they shall not have been
printed or bound within the twenty
years next preceding the date of impor.
tation, was stricken out. 1t was also
decided to admit photographic charts
for the use Of mariners free of duty.

TWO TOPICS IN
THE LEAD NOW
House Will Talk Tariff and Senate Will Dis
CuSS Dishonest Elections.
HAWAIIAN SUBJECT IS Incidental
1t May Be Brought Up in the Senate
at Any Moment, but the Order of
Business Calls for the Considera-
ton, Regularly, of the Democratic
Measure to Encourage an Unfair
Franchise-The Income Tax Propo-
sition Will Be Reported Separately
in the House.
WASHINGTON. Jan, II

WASHINGTON, Jan. II
m EBATE and not action will mark
the proceedings in both houses
H of congress this week. In the
" house the feature will be the
tariff debate, and in the senate the bill
to repeal the federal election laws.
The week is expected to open in the
senate to consider the Horn blower
nomination, This case may occupy the
attention Of the body in executive ses-
fion for two days Otherwise, Senator
Gray, of Delaware, will call up the
elections repeal bill Tuesday. The bill
will be made the unfinished business
and be kept before the senate until
passed or defeated
Some time during the week coming
events will cast their shadow before in
the shape Of tariff speech to be de.
livered by Senator Gallinger, Of New
Hampshire. OF course there's is the
always present possibility of rssolu.
tions and speeches on the subject of
Hawaii during the morning hours Of
the week, and this probability is re-
duced almost to certainty by the rs-
Gently published correspondence.
DISCUSSING THE WILSON BILL
Tariff will be almost exclusively
talked of in the house this week, The
general debate ended with the remark
able demonstration of Saturday night,
when the hall was thrown open to the
public and in the presence of moro peo-
pie probably than ever gathered within
its walls before, Representative Bryan
delivered his speech of two hours and
forty minutes in favor of the Wilson
bill, advocating it as an approach to
free trade. Beginning with tomor-
rows session the house will take up the
consideration of the bill under the FIVE
minute rule, and the paragraphs will
be open to amendment
Already the desk Of Chairman Rich,
ardson is covered with namendments
that will be proposed by various mem
bers, who want to make sure that their
propositions shall receive proper atten-
ton. The bill will be thus discussed
and open to amendment this week and
next, and then a vote taken on it's pass
age Monday, Jan, 80. Night sessions
will be held.
The scheme Of internal revenue will
be reported to the house Thursday
next by Chairman Wilson, as an indie
pendent, separate measure. Then
friends Of the income tax proposition
will endeavor to attach it to the pend :
ing bill, and and upon this motion
may come one of the most interesting
struggles of the debate unless the mat
ter is settled in caucus.

hurry Your Orders.

Judge Blair, state fish commissioner,
says that the last distribution of fish this
spring will be made in June. In order
to have an application considered for
wall-eyed pike, the only fish to be dis
tributed this spring, must be in at least
ten days from this.
It takes fifteen days for pike eggs to
hatch. The board has about 10000 900
this season in the hatcheries, more than
ever handled in the entire life of the
commission. The rainbow trout will be
distributed next fall. The bass in Sep
tember and October, also. 1t takes
thirty to forty days for the eggs of these
to hatch.
The commission distributes the fish,
not the eggs, as has been wrongly sup
posed.

Father, dear father, come home with
me now, for ma has some carpet to beat;
she's got all the furniture out in the
yard from the front door clear down to
the street. The stove must come down
and be put in the shed, and the yard
must be cleaned of dead grass, for it is
time to clean house and the DEVILS to
pay-and the front window needs some
new glass. Father, dear father, come
home with me now, and bring some
bologna and cheese, it's most II o'clock
and there's nothing to eat-I'm so hun
CRY I'm weak in the knees. All the
dinner we'll have will be cold scraps and
such, and we'll have to eat standing up
too, for the table and chairs are all out
In the yard, oh do wish spring cleaning
was through. Father, dear father, come
home with me now, for ma is as mad as
turk. She says you're lazy old thing
and she proposes to put you to work.
There's painting to do and paper to
hang, and windows and casing to scrub,
for it's house cleaning time and you've
got to come home and revel in suds and
cold grub"

while the charge against Jones was dis
missed.

Proclamation.

The goth day of May in each succeed
ing year has been set apart and decreed
by our laws legal holiday for memorial
services in memory of the dead heroes
of the late war of the rebellion.
1t is beautiful service and pleasing
duty to weave flowers into garlands and
lay them on the graves of departed
friends, who In the hour of their country's
peril, offered themselves sacrifice upon
the altar of liberty that the government
founded by our fathers might be perpetu-
ated.
In order that this day may be better
observed and the people have an oppor-
tunity to participate in its observance.
I do proclaim the goth day of May a
legal holiday to be observed by the citi-
zens of the city of McCook, and request
that they observe it by abstaining from
all unnecessary labor between the hours
of II o'clock, noon, and 4 o'clock p m,
and that during that time all places of
business be closed, and that the people
repair to the place designated by the
Grand Army of the Republic and assist
them in the memorial services.
And as further mark of respect and
esteem for our fellow heroes it is ordered
that flag be hoisted at half mast over
the city hall and the school buildings
within the city, and I would request
that the same may be done on other
public buildings, not under control of
the city government.
In testimony whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
city to be affixed this 9Th day of May.

News comes from Cambridge that F.

Furnas county's brightest attorneys, has
skipped the country, leaving long reti-
nue. of creditors to mourn his departure,
and it further develops that Wilsonville
people are out in the neighborhood of
$40. It is the very same old story told
over again; drink, drunkenness and fin
ally crime added to spoil life that had
every evidence of brilliant success, and
to reduce this man to life of disgrace,
fugitive from justice and an outcast
from the society of all good men.-

mortal day will soon be here; let all turn
out and honor the day that is held sacred
to the men who battled for the Unions
cause-who brought the flag in triumph
through the horrid years of civil strife, and
made the Union one awew, cemented by
their blood and tears of widowed women,
sweethearts dear, of children orphaned,
by the war that brought sweet freedom
to the slave and swept the ancient curse
away from this fair land. Lay on the
graves of heroes dear the sweetest flow

Union blue did on a hundred bloody
fields renew our love of country; feed
anew the flame of patriot zeal; that
