Christian Science Bill KILLED.
The senate this afternoon killed H. r.
2Ss, known as the Christian Science bill
and backed by the State Board Of Health.
The bill required all practitioners Of Chris
tian Science to report contagious diseases
the same as physicians, and attached tho
same penalties to them as to physicians II
they failed to report these diseases. The
majority in favor of indefinitely postpOning
the bill was large. Bpperson Of Clay made
the principal argument against It on the
grounds it would give Christian Science
practitioners legal standing, which they do
not have now.
Many Bills Are slaughtered.
BenlnQ locked QOOTS the senate late lnlb
afternoon voted to indefinitely postpone all
bills not carrying appropriations except
those which have already been advanced
to third reading. The action affects num-
Der OF bills of more or less Importance and
against which some powerful lobby work
has been done during the last few days.
At $50 o'clock the senate went into execu-
tive session to consider the re-appointment
of Warden Beemer and after the appoint
ment had been confirmed and the executive
session closed 1t took up the question of
the indefinite postponement of the bills
not yet acted upon.
The doors remained locked during this
discussion, which was somewhat heated
and no reporters or spectators were ad-
mitted. Senator Aldrich made the motion
to indefinitely postpone all bills except APP
preparations not yet acted upon and Byrnes
of Platte offered a substitute to make It
only bills not on the sitting ile King de-
manded roll call and the substitute mo-
ton was lost by a vote OF 10 to II. The
vote on the Aldrich motion was a tie.
standing 10 to 10. Lieutenant Governor
Hopewell did not care to decide the tie
so Senator Hanna changed his vote, carry
ing the motion by Is to a. Some of the
senators afterward explained II was an
oversight that the doors were not opened
after the executive session closed.
BY the action taken by the house and
senate in indefinitely postponing all, bills
not on third reading. many important bills
we're slaughtered. among them being the
Harrison bill to reduce Pullman rates %
per cent; the Quaokenbush reciprocal de-
murrage bill; the. maximum freight rate
bill on OIL; the stock yards and the live
stock commission bills, Many members are
not satisfied and an effort viii be made
in the morning in both house and senate
to secure a reconsideration OF some OF the
important NEE sures.

the following from some Of his friends and
neighbors: 1r
The undersigned, former residents OF
bors Of w. y, Raper, would call your at
tention TO the following editorial which
has appeared in the lincoln Daily News:
This legislature has been notable for
It's divided delegations not with particular
regard to party lines, but as TO the way
session. II a so0d many instances repre-
sentatives from the same county might
just as well have paired on all questions
and gone home, for the record shows that
they killed each others votes, as general
rule.
Probably the most pronounced division
In this list has existed between the Pawnee
men, Reper lining up at all times with the
progressive element and Steinauer putting
his vote into the pot with the crowd that
wanted TO back-track on platform prom
ises."
In connection with this we wish to ex-
press our admiration OF the work Of w.
B. Raper in this legislature He has been
so uniformly right and consistent in his
course during the session that he has at
tracted the attention and received the APP
prevail OF the general public here, and, we
believe, In all parts OF the state. He has
at all times stood for the welfare OF the
pledges OF his party In this ne has often
been opposed actively by the balance OF
the delegation from his county. His good
record under these dlscouragements again
proves his integrity and fitness for public
position.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO CONTROL SOCIETY
After Discussion in which Fight is
Threatened Application il with
drRwn-smaI Cattle Growers
Are blamed.

CHEYENNE, wyo., April S.--(special. ,
The annual meeting of the Wyoming Stock
Growers association struck a rock at once
when the applications Of a number Of stock
men and stock companies came up for con-
sideration. Some Of the cattlemen objected
to the admission of sheepmen, but it was
pointed out that a large number OF the
members owned sheep as we'll as cattle. A
vote was taken on the proposition to admit
sheepmen, and carried, President Irvine
voting eishty-eight proxies In favor of adj
hitting the l. u Sheep company. The cat
uemen called attention to the constitution
and bylaws, which provide that three black
balls are sufficient to reject an applicant
for membership, and that more than the
required number Of black balls had been
cast. Some very bitter speeches were made
by the cattlemen, and these were replied to
In kind by the sheepmen present, and also
by a number of cattlemen who took sides
with the sheepmen. The charge was made
that the sheepmen had attempted to gain
control OF the convention so as to pass res
buttons against federal control, leasing and
fencing of the public domain. but the charge
was denied.

The discussions in this convention indi-

sheepmen is rapidly disappearing and an

II these conditions continue, there will be
no feeling Of bitterness between the two in

ones who were at all bitter against the
sheep interests were few small owners

ever been done by the state toward
the reclamation Of these lands, and
the secretary Of the interior has new
er approved the selection.
Surveys Of the Priest Rapids pro-
ject were made, which indicates that
a total Of 10000 acres might be
reclaimed. partly by gravity and
partly by pumping. but as the devel-
opment Of the project already ap-
proved will leave no funds available
for many years for undertaking new
projects in Washington, further stud
les and surveys Of secondary pro-
jects have been discontinued. Most
of the lands withdrawn in connection
Herewith have since been restored
to settlement and entry.

That Humane Society.

About every ten days Deputy
Sheriff Grant hobs up and says I'VE
need live humane society" Now
that is correct, but what is Mr.. Grant
going to do about it? Blame seems
to be attached to those people who
have been trying to get the society
on its feet.
Many causes have been assigned
as to why the society is not in opera
ton today, but SO far as l have seen
no one has named the real reason
Here it is: Way last fall the humane
society was duly organized, officers
elected, constitution and bylaws
framed, and application made to the
secretary Of state for proper papers
in the matter of incorporation, but
in spite of the fact that our secre-
tary has many times urgently re-
Quested action upon the part of the
secretary of state, yet that official
AoS AO6iCSICu W AOi WoIO tAe ucCcS-
sary papers, and therefore we are
powerless to act.
If any person or persons know of,
or can suggest any way by which our
public officials can be compelled to
act, let them speak up. We are here,
ready to act just as soon as we can
do so legally-yes, we are anxious to
act in several cases. We know of
horses on the streets every day which
are poorly fed, overdriven, unmerci-
fully whipped and in other ways
abused, and that, too, by business
men.
We also know men who are SELL
ing tobacco and cigarettes to boys in
violation of the state laws. If we
were legally empowered to prosecute
these cases, rest assured we would
lose no time in making an example
Of some of these offenders, which we
think would have a wholesome effect
upon others. We are glad that Mr..
Grant wants a society, and trust that
he will lose no time in signing the
constitution, and that he will assist
US in our difficulty with the secre-
tary of state, and some day we trust
that some of the offenders may be
brought to justice.
Yours truly,
H. L. MATTERSON.

legends which have been regarded by
historians as no less doubtful than
those of the kings of Rome or of the
Trojan war. But the myths enshrine
many facts. A testy abbot was Tur-
stinus, the first Norman bishop He
did not like the ancient Gregorian
music and babe his English monks
sing Partisan tones. Obedient in many
things. they could not give up their
old melodies SO the abbot summoned
Norman soldiers to coerce them.
