bounty had been exhausted and that claims
amounting to $4,000 were now on file in the
auditors office, The state auditor, he said,
favored the repeal Of the statute. He told
OF an Incident where one man brought in
nine scalps and three months later brought
in nine more. In conversation with the
county clerk the man said he had an old
wolf which he would not take SOS for.
Carlin of Rock, Schoettgef Of Washington
and Wilson of Custer took exceptions to
this and Carlin recited how they had wolf
hunts up in his country and 1000 people
from country eighty miles in area con-
gregated and killed the animals for mutual
protection and not cent of bounty was
asked. He told of depredations committed
by the wolves and the necessity for the
bounty to aid in the extinction of the ami

bills and 1t required the entire afternoon

GlbsOn's saloon Bill. .
Senator Gibson's bill prohibiting brewers
and distillers from having any interest in
any saloon or saloon license or renting
buildings for saloon purposes and limiting
the number OF saloons to not more than one
TO 1900 inhabitants may become one of the
most important liquor bills Of the session,
rivaling even the county option bill in I'm
portance. Some of the senators are in
cIined to think the bill would remedy many
evils connected with saloons all over the
state. and II has found supporters from
the senators from the country districts.
The bill as now drawn applies only to
Omaha South Omaha and Lincoln But

tended to offer an amendment removing
this limitation and providing the law shall
apply to the entire state, and after this is
DONE he said, he believed It would pass
the senate. He said many of the smaller
towns have experienced evil results from
the fact that saloons are owned by brewers
and arer placed in charge of irresponsible
saloonkeepers, who make no pretense to
obeying the laws
The bill as IT now reads would reduce
the number of saloons In Omaha about lOC
and in South Omaha about nifty. II would
make little change in Lincoln except tc
drive out the saloons owned by the brewers

The committee finally appointed Chair
man Harrison OF Otoe and Quackenbush of
Nemaha to see whether the constitution
provided such companies should connect up
their lines as is required of railroads. and
no other action was taken.
Incidentally At remained for this house
committee on railroads to set a precedent

house indicated would never be taken in
this legislature. The committee went into
executive session to discuss the measure
after the speeches Walsh of Douglas made
the motion and the room was cleared in
stantly. 1t give those who opposed the
open ballot at the caucus something to
talk about.
Sensation In the House.
1t was very evident that members of the
house got up crosswise this morning, based
on the time they took TO settle disputed
questions and. the vigorous whack they
took at the lawyers on the judiciary COM
mittee and the big scare they gave mem
bers Of the committee on medical societies
and sundry laws. Ned Brown was re-
sponsIble for the drubbing given the ju-
dietary committee and instigated the de-
bate in, which various members took d
poke at lawyers in general, while Davis
OF Cass county caused the doctors to pass

out any further action by the licensing
board. Under the present law the license
may be revoked after conviction but the
fact of conviction it is held does not neces-
sarily invalidate the license. Senator Root
also introduced a bin authorizing the hold
ing Of an election every FIVE years in any
city or village, or the county outside of
any incorporated village or city to de-
termlne whether saloons may be licensed
in such territory for the next five years.
The law makes provision hat the majority
vote shall control for FIVE years, doing
away with annual elections.
Penalties Under Revenue Law.
One OF the bills introduced into the senate
today by McKesson Of Lancaster provides
for reduction Of the penalty for making
false returns to the assessor and for
swearing falsely to tax lists The present
law provides imprisonment penalties for
the offense and Senator McKesson declares
that no assessor would prosecute under II
except for the most fragrant abuse With
the penalty reduced to fine which NAV he

law would be much more effective. His
| bill provides a fine OF from $50 to $500 for
making false return of taxable property
and one of from 500 to $1,000 for making
false oath to the. same.
| One case cited by Senator McKesson

ess Anne Harden-Hickey disappeared
from her little kingdom on East Fifty
fourth street. Her neighbors spoke of
her regretfully. The cabbies and the
motormen looked for her in vain.
Their erstwhile queen was in the care
of relatives who had spirited her
away, far from prying eyes and Cos
siping tongues. For almost year she
lived thus in retirement; where, none
but her family knew. Then came the
public announcement that Baroness
Anne Harden-Hickey had been re-
moved TO the Stamford sanitarium,
there to reign over her imaginary sub
jects and to await the call of her
princely consort from that dark and
uncertain shore whittier he had pre-
coded her on adventures which she
had always yearned to share with
him.

I am so anxious to see more Of these
low cost houses.
When l see a man start to build
house for $1,000 or $1,000. l know
right off that that man intends TO
build home and have it paid for IN
a short time and he will succeed. More
such houses mean more comfort and
more contented citizens.
But while it is right and proper
to be contented with the house you
have, that does not mean that a per-
son should not progress. A person
may go from one step to another in
house building the same as in busi-
ness, but it is difficult to feel happy
and contented in a habitation that
does not provide conveniences for do
ing the work and that is not comfort
able in cold weather as we'll as in
warm weather.
1t is quite an undertaking to build
home. 1t means with most persons
years Of hard work, but they are the
happiest years to look back over. Sue
cess depends upon the start made. IL
a person uses the right kind of a
plan, plan the cost of which will be
we'll within his means and a plan
that will be reasonably satisfactory
when the house is finished, the
chances of paying for the property and
of soon having a home free of en-
cumbrance is very much better than
when more elaborate house is Sc
lected
The little details that go to make
up satisfactory house must not be
overlooked. A house without a bath
room is a back number. No one
wants a bedroom without a clothes
closet and 1t does not pay to try to
do without hot and cold running wa.
ter both upstairs and down. When
the plumber is at work Il costs but
trifie more to have a pipe for hot
water laid at the same time the cold
water pipe is put in. There are
other incidentals but these are the
most important.

A nearly square house design "a
feet wide by 80 feet long with a cot
tage roof pitched rather low is
shown in this plan. This style of
house is growing in popularity. In
walking along the newer streets OF
Chicago as we'll as in other cities
notice a great many similar houses.
1t Is a plan that offers a large amount
of room in proportion to the material
used in building. The nearer square
you got house the more space you
can inclose within the four walls.
Every foot of wall costs money. espe-
cially during these times when the
price of all building materials must
be picked from the top shelf.
The general design of this house Is
severely plain. The ornamentation
consists of proper proportions and
neatness. AS a popular house it is
designed for economy in building. but
at the same time comfort has not
been sacrificed to save a few dol
lars.
There is great economy. for in.
stance, in making one chimney do for
the kitchen range and heating ap-
aratus. There is still further econ
omy in putting the chimney in the
middle of the house and running it
out through the roof at the highest
point. 1t costs less to shingle around
a chimney at the ridge than any other
place. the chimney is better supported
and 1t costs less to prevent water
from rains or melting snow coming in
around the chimney when it goes
through the roof at the peak because
there is no accumulation of water
there like you have to contend with
down near the caves.
You seldom see eight rooms laid
