LISTEN TO REPORT.
House May Make a Fight against
Its Acceptance.

Denver, March 20-The house
listened to the reading of the con-
ference com mittee's report
The senate will probably adopt
the report without discussion, but
it will not be rushed through the
house, where it is claimed fight
will be made against the report,
If the house concludes to accept
the report, the extra session
will probably come to a close by
Saturday, while on the other hand,
if the opposition puts up a fight
the session will run into next
week.

INSURANCE AGENTS PROTEST
They Insist That Companies Have No
Reason for Advancing
Omaha Rates.

The FIRE insurance agents Of Omaha are
not satisfied with the action OF the compan-
les they represent in advancing the rates in
Omaha on commercial risks outside Of those
where the schedule rating has been applied.
There was a meeting Of the Fire Under
writer's association Of the city yesterday
afternoon, at which the conditions we're dis
cussed and It was decided that there was
nothing in the local situation to Warrant
any advance, to say nothing Of the % per
cent which has been demanded by the
companies by letters to their several agents
in this territory,
1t was decided that each agent should
write a letter to his companies protesting
against the advance In rates and showing
that the conditions in Omaha are not such
as to demand any such action!W Several Of
the agents went so far as to say that they
would refuse to write policies at advanced
rates and some intimated that certain COM
panies not In the insurance union would
be found which would be willing to accept
risks at the present rates.
Once before some Of the agents OF the city
have succeeded in having companies rescind
an order for an advance in rates. A few
years ago some OF the companies decided
to advance rates upon dwelling houses
and instructed their agent in this city to
put the increase into effect. This agent
absolutely refused to consider the matter
and rendered his resignation rather than
exact the advanced rates. He explained
his reasons to the companies and in reply
the proposed rates were rescinded.

Louis objects, but Justice Potter
OverruIes objection, as IL t. Night
and No other Mugs
Available.

The goddess Of justice on the courthouse
dome bent far over and hung by her toes
while she tried to peep into courtroom No.
2 last night in an effort to discover what
was going on. Her marble eyes discerned a
professional barber poised in the middle OF
the room with a lathered shaving brush in
his hand trying to show. by passes over an
imaginary face, how shaving is correctly
done-and when the goddess saw this she
knew that the suit of John studelska versus
the Moler Barber College was on.
On the bench, sustere and imposing, sat
Charles Potter, ordinarily court stem
ographor for Judge Slabaugh, but between
times a Justice of the peace in Dundee. The
Jurors we're all from the same suburb and
were business men, the list including John
E. Moore, insurance.; W. f. Sweezy, a for.
mer United States marshal and large real
estate owner; E. II. Westerield. attorney,
G.. E. Ferry. insurance.; A. II. Palmer,
banker; w. S. Wedge, secretary Of a build
ers' association.
The action was one Of eighteen brought
against the college by former students to
recover the sums of from $40 to 500 they
had paid to be taught the trade, their alle-
cation being that they hadn't been taught 1t.
The attorneys were four in number and the
first name Of each was John, the last names
being Yeiser and Battin for the plaintiff and
Cooper and Boucher for the defense. A.. D.
Moler, proprietor of the college, had come
from Chicago to be present.

Yes, a real good one. Front, show the

serenely.
"Oh, mercy, I don't want to see 1t. 1
won't even stop here or any place else
where there is a bar"
But she did. She stopped there and she
ate there. Coming out Of the cafe she faced
the cigar stand, presided over by Miss Hat
tie McAdOu, and raised her hands in hor-
ror. Striking a pose suggestive Of Neil
Burgess in ''The County Fair" she ex-
claimed: "Oh, to see one of my sex handling
those nasty things and tempting men to
do wrong and spend their money foolishly.
It's terriblel 1"
A travelling man was just lighting up and
she turned on him. You, sir, you are
wicked to do that and you know 1t. You
ought to be ashamed"
Sweeping out to the elevator, shifting as
she went, she was taken up to the parlor
and then posed most cheerfully for The
Bees staff artist, retaining her shawl, Of
which she said:
"Oh, 1 love it; l love it. l wouldn't have
my picture taken without It. 1t was my
only pillow in jail"

taken to a room, remarking that she hated
to stay in a hotel where there was a bar,

She was sorry, she said, to see so many
vacant seats at the Boyd theater last night.
AS a matter of fact, 1t was not a crowded
house, but such as were present lost not a
syllable of what was perhaps one Of the
most remarkable discourses ever delivered
from the stage of that playhouse. 1t was
evident from the startoff that she was FER
ninst" the things that be. She shot ragged
holes in the social system, upset theology,
ripped politics up the back. and with a
well-primed charge Of verbal dynamite
blew up the government at Washington.
1t $3.50 the curtain ran up, disclosing a
table with a pitcher of llght-brown Mis-
souri, river water on 1t, two chairs and a
piece of scenery representing a street with
two or three saloon signs over the sidewalk.
The scenery was probably an accident. A
moment later the famous hatchetier emerged
from the wings, followed by a female at
tendant. Both stepped to the table and
took a drink Of the fluid in the pitcher;
then the attendant seated herself in one OF
the chairs and Carrie strobe to the foot
lights and began her lecture without a line
Of preface.
She scolded those present because others
had stayed away, and then painted a word
picture of Omaha as a "hell-hole OF in

that linked up in front and hung straight
behind. Fastened to her bosom was a small
