keep at every station q register so that
persons asking for cars can make record
of their applications aNd that first come
first served was placed on general file this
morning after the railroad committee had
recommended II for the ash pile. This
action is along the line Of the precedent
already set OF allowing bills to be discussed
In the committee OF the whole when there
seems to be any great number In favor OF
the measures.
The members of the committee on public
lands and buildings were excused to visit
the Boys Industrial school at Kearney
H. r. 30. by Lahners Of Thayer, was in
definitely postponed after a long debate,
This bill provides that in counties OF over
1900 people -the county Judge should be a
lawyer. This action was taken in the COM
mittee OF the whole on motion of Speaker
/ Nettleton. Walsh OF Douglas was among
the number who spoke against the bill be-
cause. he said, he thought It was not the
business OF the legislature to tell eoonty
who II should have for county Judge es-
2
argument against the bill was that a county
Judge could not practice while holding
such position and the salary was not suf-
foient in many instances for lawyer TO
take the Job.

He wanted q provision Incorporated in the

Finds Indian Relics.

While some of the workmen of the
Electric line were grading at Hayden
lake for the spur to the M. D. Wright
mill, one man uncovered several In
dian skeletons, quantity of beads, a
.omahaWk and other weapons and ar
ticles used by the Indians years gao.
There we're three of the skeletons, all
in fine state of preservation and the
beads and other articles will look like
new with a little polishing. The
find has created no little excitement
with the men at the Wright camp and
also among the railroad men and
there is a strong belief that the mill
is located on the site of an old Indian
burying ground. AS soon as the
frost is out of the ground, a search
will bemade for further evidence Of
the kind.

The Huronian belongs to the Allan

given up. In spite Of this, however,
the British admiralty, at the request
of the owners, ordered the cruiser
Thames to search for the missing
cruiser, and In the latter part of
April the steamer BELOW was ordered
to the north Atlantic to help the
Thames in this work. The search
was kept up by these two cruisers un-
til we'll into May. but no trace of the
Huronian was ever found. A report
