APPROPRIATION BILL.
University and New Buildings Left to
Separate Bills.

Separate Bills.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2S.-Special to
The News: The big appropriation bill
for current expenses now ready for
introduction before the legislature
asks for $11O,59O less than the similar
bill of two years ago, although the pro-
visions for most of the state depart
ments and institutions are slightly in
creased. The reduction is due to the
fact that the provision for the state
university is left to a separate bill dis
posing of the proceeds of the one-mill
levy and to the cutting out of all pro-
visions for buildings at the various in
situations. The bill of two years ago
appropriated $1,910,000 while this bill
asks for $1,799,410 If any new build
ings are obtained at any of the state
institutions they will have to be pro
vided for in separate bills.
A bill providing for a twenty-five
cent bounty for adult gopher scalps
has been introduced by Senator Saun-
ders of Douglas. 1t has reused much
jocular discussion.
In regard to his reason for introduc-
ing his bill prescribing maximum rates
on wheat, corn and grain products,
Senator Sibley of Lincoln has eX-
planned that this and similar bills are
introduced as insurance policies in
behalf of the people and against any
possible risk incurred by reason of
the state board of railroad commits
sioners. He declares that the maxi
mum rate measures are not meant to
reflect upon or in any manner impair
the usefulness of the commission
which undoubtedly for at least the
first year of it's existence will be over
whelmed with work, and insists that
the commission should welcome such
laws if enacted by the Legislature as
so much relief from their great bur-
dens
Senator Phillips of Holt yesterday
introduced a bill similar to one con-
templated by Senator Sibley, provid- |
ing maximum rate on hay, potatoes
and apples, the rates being made the
same as those which have been in |
force in Iowa since 1889. The Iowa
rates are about 20 per cent. lower than
those of Nebraska on hay, potatoes |
and apples.
Lincoln, Feb. 2S.-A new anti-pass |
bill was introduced in the house, read |
the first time and will be advanced to- |
day. 1t is intended TO cure any posi- !
BILE defects in the bill heretofore |
pending, which, however, retains its |
place. To supplement anti-pass legis, |
lation, bills were introduced prohibit |
ing franks or passes from telegraph |
telephone, express, street car or sleep |
ing car companies, or special priv
ileges of any kind to individuals or
corporations.
Two maximum freight rate bills
were offered in the house, ono bearing
on grain, the other on coal and lum.

The senate took up the railroad ter,
minal taxation bill. 1t was slightly
amended and recommended for pas
sage, as was the bill compelling cor

mics to make an annual statement of

GREAT CIRCUS
is COMING
SelIs-FIoto will Visit Chiekaaha Mon
day August ls

A sudden downpour Of rain or a
long continued drizzle win have no
effect on the patrons Of the great
sells-Floto Shows when it exhibits
here. The reason Of this win be APP
parent to everyone who sees the huge
tents that will be erected here for the
performance. They are all construct
ed Of "mercerized' ducking. This
marvellous invention for the water
proofing Of material has been in use
for rain coats, but up to this year has
never been used for tents. People
who have used "mercerized" cloth
know how it sheds water, and was the
knowledge Of this that caused the
Sells-Floto shows to have all their
tents made Of this material. 1t is
quite a stride in advance Of other
shows, but is only in keeping with the
progressiveness of the management Of
these shows. Beneath these tent:
spectators can sit in comfort and east
during the heaviest Of rains and be al
as if in the finest theater in the
country. This is only one Of the many
novelties that have been added t.
these shows this season.
It is respectfully suggested tha
the children attend the afternoon ex
hibition where ample is given to viev

ing the night crowds. Uniformed ush
ers viii attend to every want Of TIL
little folks and care and attention
