Kennedy of Douglas, the democratic
member from Omaha, made his first ap-
pearance in the house on the 18th, hav-
ing been detained because of illness. Mr..
Kennedy was presented by Ten Eyck and
sworn in by Speaker Mockett. The chief
out of the city and the lawyers of the
house decreed that the speaker had the
right to perform this function.
Rouse of Hall has introduced in the
house the bill providing for participation

exposition at ST. Louis in 1904. 1t makes
provision for the appointment of a board
of commissioners by the governor to look
out for the states interests and appro-
prites $4,000.
Omaha labor unions are against the
passage of H. r. 1S2, introduced by Reed
of Nemaha, to modify the present exemp-
ton laws. Gus Hollo, a member of the
Omaha Central Labor union, is quoted as
saying: THE bill is intended solely to
help the grocers' trust. 1t cannot be of
service to the laborng man. The grocers
claim that the bill will do away with the
losses incurred by giving credit to men
who never pay and thereby reduce prices
but the claim is too thin. Every grocer
keeps a blue book in which is the record
of his customers. If a customer has
reputation of failing to pay his debts he
will be refused credit"
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1903-01-30

When the senate met on the 26th no
committees were ready to report and con-
sequently very little work was done. Sem
ator O'Ne:ll of Lancaster called the atten-
tion of the senate to the slow progress of
the committees. ONeills bill to prevent
the employment of elevator conductors
under IS years of age passed the commit
tee of the whole after the lengthy discus
sion. Hall of Douglas moved to amend to
make the age limit II, but this amend
ment was lost. S. F. "a, joint resolu-
tion to memorable congress to establish
the status of the First Nebraska militia
passed the committee of the whole. Bills
on first reading included: To amend sec
tion 1032b, chapter X, title so, Code of
Civil Procedure, tenants to be responsible
for reasonable dangers during the pen
dency of action. To provide for establish
ing public road to and from lands sur
rounded or shut out from a public road in
certain cases.

MESSAGE ON LEASE BILL.

The governor sent this message on the
land leasing bill to the legislature:
AS your honorable body is we'll aware a
bill is now pending in congress, known
as senate file No. 1886 and introduced by
our senior senator, Hon. Charles II. Die
trich, contemplating the leasing of "such
of the public lands within the state of
Nebraska as are in their natural condi-
ton valuable only for live stock grazing
purposes and are not capable of irriga-
ton" The plan as outlined in the bill
and the conditions incident to the leasing
of said lands are so novel in their char
acter and in such contradiction to time
honored custom that the proposed legisla-
ton has attracted general attention
throughot the state and has occasioned
much comment, both favorable and un-
favorable. On January IS 1 received from
Washington a copy of the bill, accom-
panied by a petition signed by our en-
tire congressional delegation. This petit
ton requests that I call the attention of
your honorable body to the proposed ma
tional legislation, to the end that you
may take such action as will indicate to
our senators and members of congress
the wishes of the state in the premises.
The matters involved are of great con-
cern, not only to that portion of the
state wherein the grazing lands are sit
uated, but to all other sections as well,
and it is therefore most fitting that the
legislature should memorialiZe congress
on the subject. 1 herewith transmit to
you for your consideration a copy of the
bill, a copy of the petition from our con-
gresional delegation, two. sets of resolu-
tions adopted by the stOckmen of western
Nebraska and the correspondence received
by this Office relative to the matter. In
his recent message to congress President
Roosevelt recommended the appointment
of a commission of experts to investigate
the conditions affecting the leasing and
fencing of public lands and to make re-
port of its findings. Such course, while
it would delay immediate action, would
in my judgment. afford such a guaranty
of ultimate satisfactory settlement of the
perpleXing questions involved as to make
the plan most desirable. 1 trust that you
will confer with the concurrent branch of
the legislature and adopt such joint reso-
luton as will indicate to our senators and
representatives in congress the attitude
of your constituents toward the land leas-
before the short session of congress the
necessity for expeditions action is ap-
parent.

means by which sufficient funds may be
raised out of which the necessary gov
ernmental expenses may be met mainte-
nance of state institutions, making need
ed repairs and additions to public build
ings and other necessary and incidental
expenses may be paid. To the end that
reasonable and conservative appropria-
tions may be made to cover the foregoing
items, and that the general fund may
rot be overdrawn, such revision of the
revenue laws should be made as will
place all the taxable properties in the
state upon the assessment rolls; that a
fair cash valuation be placed thereon,
and that adequate provisions be made
for enforcing payment of delinquent
taxes" House roll No. 40, correcting GER
tain antiquities in the statutes against

Mrs. F. Wright, of Oelweln,
Iowa, is another one OF the
million women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
A Young New York Lady Tells
of q Wonderful Cure:-
"My trouble was with the ovaries;
I am tall, and the doctor said l grew
too fast for my strength. l suffered
dreadfullv from inflammation and
doctored continually, but got no help.
/ suffered from terrible dragging SEN
sations with the most awful pains low
down in the side and pains in the back,
and the most agonizing headaches
No one knows what endured. Often
I was sick to the stomach, and every
little while l would be too sick to go
to work, for three or four days; work
in a large store, and / suppose stand
ing on my feet all day made me worse.
"At the suggestion of friend of
nv mothers began to take Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it is simply wonderful.
/ felt better after the first two or three
doses it seemed as though weight
was taken off my shoulders; con-
tinued it's use until now l can truth
fully say am entirely cured. Young
girls who are always paying doctors
bills without getting any help as did,
ought to take your medicine. 1t
costs SO much less, and it is sure to
cure them. - Yours truly, ADELAIDE
