Frank ID. Eager. Lincoln. Neb., Dear sir:
! have the honor 10 acknowledge the receipt OF
the resolutions. recently adopted by the Ne
braska house Of representatives respecting the
passage Of q bankrupt law by congress. and In
reply to say that ] am decidedly In favor az %
tudicious voluntary bankrupt act, but ! cannot
support such an act containing involuntary
features which will permit u creditor to ruth
lessly push his debtor into bankruptcy and dis
sipatc his property without anotdtng him u full
and realize Inc fun value OF his property Tor
the payment OF his debts. lam quite confident
that the legislature OF Nebraska does not desire
me 20 support an act like the TOrrcy act, drawn
altogether in the interest Of the creditors OF
the country, and whose chief support comes
from the 'creditors' association. a careful
examination Of the Torrey bill will show IL TO
be vicious throughout. Very truly yours,

mittee of the whole to consider the
special order. =. +. 30, by Senator
Gondring of Platte, which repeats the

upon the SAFE of such property made
under foreclosure proceedings.
Mr.. Hull offered an amendment maxi
ing the bill to apply to present mort
Cages.
MIR. Hull said that the homes Of Ne
braska people were being wiped away
by the people who loan money. The
~loaners Of money. he said, do not ad-
vance more than t~wo-thirds OF the
value OF property ut best and Mr.. Hull
thought IL was unjust IL the property
at sale did not meet the principal, to
load the borrower down with a de-
ficiency Judgment which makes him an
absolute slave afterwards. Mr.. Hull
contended that IL was not Justice.
Mr.. Rich said that the general fore
closure bill contained the provisions OF
No. 8 and he thought this bill should
be considered first.
Mr.. Yeiser moved that the committee
rise and report and ask leave TO sit
again Immediately. This was done to
advance n bill relating to foreclosures,
not advanced by the sitting committee.
The house then went into committee of
the whole and took up II. X. No. 1893

sued. The debate ensued over the
length of time to be allowed in which
to redeem property. Mr.. Yeiser in
sisted that two years were necessary
for redemption.
Mr.. Rich Of Douglas was opposed to
the two year limit. lie believed one
year to be sufficient, for, with the nine
months stay, this would give twenty.
one months. Mr.. Rich believed that
to extend the redemption limit to thir-
ty.three months would injuro the
credit of Nebraska. He had submitted
the bill To agents of several loan com
panies who had favored the one year
limit and who strongly recommended
the repeal of the present nine months
stay which may be taken after the de-
cree Is rendered.
The bill was left with the one year
provision and recommended favorably.
The committee arose, the house adopt.
ed the report and adjourned.

Although it looked very discour-
aging for the band boys last Tuesday
morning, as the heavens were COW
cred with big black clouds, and
it was feared their picnic would have
to be postponed, by 10 O'Clock it
cleared off nicely.
The band formed into line at the
court t-house and marched to the
grove, rendering some Of their fine
music.
A large crowd gathered at the pic

enioyed-some the music, some the

were some that enjoyed all three re-

a success, which is gratifying news
for us all. The band netted about

John DeMuth Hurt.

Last Sunday afternoon John De-
Muth, of Darlington, came to this
city to attend the funeral of his
friend and neighbor, Mr.. Lye, and in
the evening, at about o'clock, while
getting his horse ready to start for
home, he met with an accident that
will probably disable him for some
time.
He was driving spirited horse,
which was restless when being
hitched up, necessitating him to hold
the animal by the head while an
other party lid the hitching. When
about ready to start the horse reared
fearing he might fall and turn the
buggy over, which was occupied by
his little boy, retained his hold on
the animal, who carried him off his
| feet, and in some manner threw him
to the ground on his face, with such
| force as to fracture both collar bones
accompanied with dislocation
of the right one. A large swelling
was also noticed on his chest, which
was found to be caused by the animal
coming down on him with the corks
of his shoes. The face and scalp are
badly scratched, and it is thought he
is injured internally to some extent
He was taken into the Globe hotel
and DR.. Clark was summoned to look
after the wants Of the patient, and
who reports him doing as well a:
could be expected.

THREE GAMES OF BASE BALL
Happy Jack" The Original and Best
of all Lone Pacing Horses, Will Go a
Mile Over The Track on Two Differ
ent Days Without Su,ky or Driver
His Record is 400.

The big fair of Southwestern Wis.
consin, which is to be held in this
city Aug. 1920, 1897, is only tive
weeks off, and the managers are de-
termined to show the people that
their patronage in the past is appre-
ciated, .and that our fair shall be
worthy of continued popular favor
The lone PAGER, Happy Jack, not
withstanding the other attractions
will pay one to come and see him
pace without sulky or driver. He
starts and stops at the tap of the bell.
His exhibition here Is sure to be the
fastest ever shown by any trotting or
pacing horse in Southwestern Wis
consin. He goes on no other track
in this part of the state this year.
Three hotly contested games of base
ball will be played-one each day.
We were in hopes this week to give
the names of the clubs that are to
play, but as yet they haven't all
been decided upon.
Entries already promised assures
as fine field of trotting, pacing and
running horses as was ever assem-
bled in this section to compete for
the liberal purses offered.
Exhibits in all departments prom
ise to be better than ever before.
The new amphitheatre with seating
capacity of 1900 and other improve
ments makes the beautiful grounds
the most attractive in the state.
Special trains at reduced rates
will be run from all stations.
