Friday.

Bills on third reading in the house on
Friday morning: McCarthy's measure APP
p~ropriating $25, 900 for a state normal school
at Scotia, Greeley County, was the first
considered. The bill had been recon-
mended to pass in committee Of the whole
by a good majority, but on the first roll
call 1t got but thirty nine votes, two less
than the required number, and a call of the
house was demanded, Bernard of Pawnee
and Gaylord of Buffalo changed their votes
from nay to yea and and the bill was
passed. The final vote showed DO to 80 in
favor of the bill. House roll No. 1877 by
Hull, amends section 500 OF Cobbey's Con,
solidated Statutes Of 1891 and repeats the
section. 1t provides that every railroad
company shall have the power to cross,
intersect, join and unite its railroad with
any other railroad before constructed at
any point upon its route, and upon
the grounds of such other railroad
company, with the necessary turnouts, sid
ings, switches and oder cOnveniences, in
furtherance of the object OF its connection.
IT is made the duty of the state board of

transportation TO investigate all points IN
the state touched by two or more railroads,
at which points they receive and deliver
freight. At such investigation all parties
shall be allowed to appear and be heard.
If it be found to the interest of shippers
that such junction should be formed the
board is directed to order the companies to
do so, and it is the duty Of said railroads to
comply with the order of the board. The
measure was passed. House roll No. 8, by
Dobson, provides for the repeal of the sugar
bounty law of 1895, section II, Ii, IA, 10, 10,
II, Is, I9 and 90, of chapter vi, article iv,
complied statutes of 1895. The senate
asked that the house concur in an amend
ment. changing the form, and the amend
ment was adopted.
The proposition to abolish the Soldiers
Home at Milford came up in the senate
Friday morning as soon as the sound of
the chaplain's voice had ceased. Ever
since the first few days of the session a bill
has been pending to abolish the home.
The bill has been in the hands of the COM
mittee on soldiers homes, of which Mr..
Sykes of Adams County is chairman.
Nothing has been heard of the bill, but
Friday morning Feltz and Grothan brought
NY tfIC oupJCSt II ihoiotSo upOh oh iii
mediate report. Their insistance brought
out an animated debate, in which most of
the senators on the floor participated. The
senate adopted the minority report and the
bill went to the general file. The OMAHA
charter bill came up on third reading, and
the senate then saw that it was in for a
night session. The reading clerk attempted
to skip large portions of the reading, but
was called down by Mr.. Graham. The
reading was then continued properly. At
6 O'Clock the senate took a recess till 7:SO.
After the supper recess the reading Of the
| Omaha charter was finished and after some
little delay the roll was called and the bill
passed with the emergency clause. But
twenty-one votes were recorded on the
first roll call, and a call of the house was
! ordered. After the doors had been closed
| forty-fve minutes Senators Mutied and
Lee appeared, voted for the bill and it was
| passed.

NEBRASKA CONGRESS-
DAILY REPORT OF WHAT is BE
ING DONE.
Many Measures of More or Less I'M.
p%ortance Being Introduced at the
Present Session OF the Golden Rod
Legislature.
Wednesday,.

The first attempt to advance radical rail-
DAD legislation was made In the senate
Wednesday morning. Senator Feltz OF
Keith County moved to make the 2-cent
fare bill a special order for March 6. While
the attempt failed, the roll call showed a
strong sentiment in favor of the bill. The
only measure considered besides the above
was the Omaha Charter bill, which occupied
the greater part of the session.
Speaker Gaffin on Wednesday morning
named the following sitting committee:
Jones of Nemaha, Moran, Hull, Woodland,
Robertson, Wiebe and FOuke. Severe,
from the committee on engrossed and en-
rolled bills, rose to a question of privilege.
He said that it had been stated on the floor OF
the house and the statement published in
the newspapers that the clerks in the com
mittee room for %engrossed and en-
rolled bills had deliberately changed the
wording of bills. This, he said, was false,
and that the clerks in that room were
strictly honest and would not do such a
thing for the world. As Smith of Douglas,
had admitted Tuesday that the clerks had
done so, the member from Douglas was
severely lashed over the shoulders of the
press. The word association" had been
6llIlludUtu lIOIl luc 1ldLS- NioSiSolpPi In
position bill. The elimination had been
done at the suggestion of Smith of Douglas,
but the actual work had been authorized
to be lone by Chief Clerk of the House
Eager. Following the reference of a few
bills, on second reading, to appropriate
committees, the house went into committee
of the whole to consider bills on the gen.
eral file, with Rouse in the chair.
The committee reported back to the house
in favor of passing house roll No. SO, the
woman suffrage measure, and the report
was adopted by a vote of sc to "a. Webb,
chairman of the committee on printing,
reported that of the first 400 bills printed
but 800 copies were supplied by Jacob
North, instead of 500, as provided in the
contract. North had agreed to print 15(
copies more of the missing bills. The re-
port recommended that North be paid only
for the 800 copies furnished. jenkins
moved that the report of committee be con-
tinued and authorized to report further tc
the house. The motion prevailed. The
house then adjourned.

houses by adopting prohihitory law
similar to that governing the sale Of
liquors In South Carolina The disprn-
sary law, known as the Cline bill.
passed the house yesterday by vote
of AZ yeas 10 30 nays, much to the sur
prise of the House itself The measure
was supported by nearly all of The
mlddle-of-theroad Populsts and by a
few Silver Republicans The proposed
law puts full control of the liquor traf-
hc In the hands of the governor. hut
eliminates from the South Carolina law
the profit system. The governor ap-
points state commission, which In
turn appoints county commissioners.
and they in turn appoint local Ijsprn
sers of all liquor being handled through

The Bicycle and Consumptiop.

At the last quarterly meeting of the
American Statistical association, DR..
$. w. Abbot, secretary of the NAUSEA
chusctts Board of Health, presented
some interesting figures regarding the
proportion of pulmonary tuberculosis
in females to that of males in Massa-
chusetts. The rate in 1851 was 1,461
females to 1000 males; in 1880, 1865
females to 1000 males; and last year,
only 9T1 females 10 1900 males Last
year was the first in the history of the
state in which the number of deaths
from phthlsis in females was smaller
than that in males. The fact that a
uniform reduction in the rate of fe-
male deaths began some five years
ago, about the time when women were
beginning TO ride the bicycle extensive
ly, DIR. Abbott considers significant.
and Ire Is inclined to attribute the de-
crease In the death rate to the great
Increase in open air exercise among
women which has been inaugurated
by the use of the blcycle.-British
