gave me two notes. He told me he needed
the money to pay some bills; that he owed
the liveryman so. and some other bills at
the Frat house for parties and dances l
asked him how he expected to pay the
money back. He said his father allowed

with his father and that his father would
soon deed him house and lot in Topeka

NEBRASKA SENATORSHIP.
Lively Fight in Prospect. With South
Half of the State Demand
ing the Place.

LINCOLN, NEB.. Dec. 6.-(Special) The
election of a Republican senator to succeed
W. V. Allen is now the dominant political
question in Nebraska. That the new sena-
tor will be a stalwart Republican goes
without saying. He will heartily support
the Mckinley administration, ANA will
come from the Southern part of the state
The loud talk and putting up of some
Omaha people means nothing. Omaha has
one senator, and can not hope to secure
everything. This is especially true when
it is remembered that if Omaha had voted
the Republican ticket in anything like a
fair way all Republican state ofTicials
would have been elected. A change of
1.5N0 votes from Populism to the Republican
ticket would have accomplished this re-
suit. Omaha ordinarily should give 5000
Republican majority. This year she gave
less than 100. This does not leave that civ
in a very good position TO claim the SEN
atorship IS against Lincoln. where a
steadfast Republican majority has been
maintained from time immemorial. and this
year showed substantial gain. Mr.. Hay-
ward. of Nebraska City, late Republican
candidate for governor. continues 10 be n
strong candidate. OF the Lincoln aspirants
ID. L. Thompson seems to be far in the
lead He is business man. and has never
been before the people for any political
favor The legislative session will open
the first week in January and the pros
pect is excellent for a spirited contest.

GAME LAW EXPIRES.
Attorney General Crow Holds That It
Has Run Its Five Years
Course,

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, Dec. 6-tSpe-
cial) In an official opinion Attorney Gen.
eral Crow holds that the provisions of the
game act of 1898 and the amendments
thereto passed by the general assembly os
this state in 1885 have expired by limitation.
The act provides that il shall be unlawful
for and during the period Of five years
next succeeding the passage thereof. for
any person to sell or attempt to sell for
purpose of shipping outside of tine county
where killed. TO any other county in the
state, or to any point outside of the state
any quail, pinnated grouse, prairie chick
en- deer or turkey"
The law as IL existed under the act CT
1888 did not include the words deer or tur-
key The amendment of 1895 does not un-
dertake TO extend the time Of the ope-
ration of the law. but simply provided that
the two additional species, deer ard tur-
key. shall be included in its prohibitory
features. Hence the law expired by lim-
tation five years after the passage Of the
act of 1893.
