bill to amend 1t by leaving 1t optional with
district school boards whether they should
purchase only such books as were on the
list. His motion did not prevail
At the beginning of the afternoon session
Prout of Gage moved that when the senate
adjourn it be till Thursday at II o'clock.
Canaday of Kearney opposed the motion,
saying the senate renamed in session two
years ago on Washington's birthday.
Senator Prout said the senate should OBJ
serve legal holidays. Besides, the investi-
eating committee had mapped out a full
days work and was very desirous of being
present during all sessions of the senate.
Grow OF Douglas said several members
wanted to attend the exercises at the Deaf
and Dumb institute at Omaha tomorrow.
Senator Prout's motion prevailed and the
secretary was instructed to officially notify
the house of its action.
The motion to adopt the committees re-
port indefinitely postponing S. f. 241, which
prohibits the recording of deeds upon prop
erty whose taxes are delinquent, was recon-
mended and the bill placed on general file.
S. f. 2l3 was placed upon the general
file without recommendation by the medical
committee. 1t is the osteopathy bill.
The following curative acts were passed:
1885, $50, ,157, 153, 49, 14S, 145, 100 SO and 155.
AS is probably well known these curative
acts do not alter the text of present laws,
but make them effective by adding proper
repeating clauses to the acts they amended.
At 4:35 the senate went into committee of
the whole to consider H. r. 10, the "em-
balming'' bill. The bill was recommended
to pass.
Before adjourning President Pro TEN
Talbot, who was in the chair, suggested
that the house had refused to adjourn till
Thursday. He thought perhaps the senate
might want to have a conference with the
house before adjourning. Reynolds Of Dawes
moved the appointment of conference COM
mittee His motion was lost and the senate
adjourned.

want n Game warden.
Some of the sportsmen from over the state
are anxious for the passage of a bill provid=
ing a state game warden, the same as in
some of the other states the duties of the
officer being to see that the game laws were
enforced and to take charge of the proceed
ings in case of violation Of the law. From
the southeast part of the state the one most
active in seeking some way to protect the
game and at the same time provide way
Tor legitimate sport in season, is Clay DAVIS
OF Falls City. Mr.. Davis was in the city to-
day and in speaking Of the matter said
There is a great demand for game
warden. No man desires to proceed against
his neighbor for violation of the law and
local officers are never anxious to prose-
cute In such cases. Consequently the game
hogs and professional fishermen go right
on destroying the game. In my immediate
neghborhood there is much need OF some
measure that will protect the fish in the
streams The Nemaha river, which runs
for seventy-five miles through this part OF
the state and empties into the Missouri
river few miles from Falls City, Is
splendid stream for fish, and yet the nets
and seines and traps at the mouth of the
stream prevent the fish from running UP
stream. In the early spring, the moment
~ l.. 81, chr Tptp had
so that all the larger fish are caught, and
none are able to get ten miles UP stream
where we, at Falls City, can get whack
at them with rod and line. l have been
down toward the mouth of the Nemaha and
have seen as many as five nets all in sight
of the same point. AS a consequence the
fishermen along the stream at Falls City,
Salem, Dawson, Humboldt, Table Rock, Te-
cumseh and on up do not get chance TO
see good sized catfish during the year
unless by peeping into the wagons of some
of the fish hogs who come up through the
country selling fish that they have caught in
an unlawful manner"
Mr. Davis said the same difficulty in the
present law woulT apply to every stream
OF any size in the state and that if there
was an officer who could inspect the
streams, order fishways built in the dams
prosecute the seine and trap fishers and at
the same time look after enforcement of
the laws relating to the birds and other
game OF the state it would no longer be
necessary for Nebraska sportsmen to go
over into Missouri to find good fishing or
shooting ground. He said that in demand
ing some such law to protect the game he
did not think the sportsmen of the state
were in the least selfish. There would be
a perfect willingness to pay the expense
by private subscription or assessment il
such plan were necessary and could be ar
ranged, SO as to give a full enforcement
of the law by special officer appointed for
that purpose.

sMAsHEs THE DOOR WITH AN AXE
Priest at Tecumseh Uses Force tn
Enter the Church.


TECUMSEH, Neb,, Feb. 21-(Specal Tel
egram. New impetus was given the trou-
BILE in the Catholic church here today, when
the priest in charge became indignant at the
treatment accorded him by the Board Of
Trustees and took the settlement OF an in
cidental dispute into his own hands to an
unwarranted extent.
Upon retiring Rev Thomas Corcoran,
from this charge Bishop Bonacum installed
Rev. Frederick Sperlien. harmony seemed to
prevail In the congregation to considerable
extent and all seemed willing while await
ing the finding of the supreme court as re-
CARDS the possession of the church property
to hold services in the church. The old
Board of Trustees, which was serving at the
outset of the trouble, was in possession Of
the property and Father Sperlien was given
key to the church, but not to the parson-
age. At the regular annual election of off,
GERS held last Sunday the old Board of
Trustees was reelected, to the dssatisfac-
ton of Sperlen.
The priest waxed quite warm at the meet
ing and II is said announced his intention
of resignng the pastorate and leaving the
city. Accordingly one of the trustees
barred the door, to which he held a key
from the inside. Upon finding himself
locked out today and being denied admis-
sion by the trustee mentioned, Father Sper
lien took an axe and smashed In the door to
the church and thus gained entrance, Some
members OF the church seem to differ re-
garding the affair, some upholding the ac-
tion of the trustee while others sanction
those of the priest.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not BE Alarmed, But LOOK for the
Cause.


Heart troubles, at least among the Ameri-
cans, are certaiuly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life. 1T Is more
often the result of weak stomachs, OF poor
digestion.
Real organic disease Is incurable; but not
one case in a hundred OF heart trouble is
organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogdstric
In another way, also, the heart Is affected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food There is a feeling of depression and
heavlness in the chest caused by pressure
of the dlstended stomach on the heart and
lungs interfering with their action; hence
arise palpitation and short breath,
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making II thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion ana 10
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and enectlVe
digestive preparation, like StuaIts Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable
harmless digestive elements In pleasant
convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular persistent
use of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets al meal
time will cure any form or stomach trouble
except cancer OF the stomach.
Full sized packages OF these tablets sold
by druggists at so cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address +. A.
