The Bee is doing a great service In urg-

the matter o advertising the postoffice

stamp department Of the Omaha postoffice.

his private convenience. l asked him II
he wanted a book Of stamps. He was sur
prised hat stamps we're sold in books

STATE FINANCES ARE SOUND
Settlement with County Treasures
Adds Much to Strong BOX.


LINCOLN, Jan. 2S.-(special)-For years
the financial condition of the state has not
been in as good condition as at the present
time, when the first appropriation bill
reached the office of the state auditor.
State Treasurer Brian has on deposit at
the close of business today 5000 900 and mere
is outstanding against the state a debt of
1851, 900. To offset this there Is in the gen.
eral fund 3lO6,0O 0 and in the redemption
fund $4,000, which will cut the debt down
to $4,000 just as soon as the interest on
the warrants has been figured. In the
permanent school fund there is now 1855, 900.
The treasurer is just now having his an
nual settlement with county treasurers,
which accounts for the immense amount of
money he has on deposit and each day for
a time will increase the amount. Out of
this, however, he has to take care OF all
outstanding warrants, pay for school bonds
purchased under the new constitutional
amendment and be in readiness to take up
university warrants should the supreme
court decide adversely to the treasurer in
the friendly suit now pending.
This is the splendid condition OF affairs
at the time the democratic legislature
makes its first rap against the door of the
state treasury. Should history fail 10 re-
peat itself Nebraska will shortly be out of
debt.

lost many very prominent educators be-
cause of better inducements to go else
where or to enter business channels, that
would still be giving their time and talent
to the education Of the youth of the state
were they assured of a competency when
they reached the age Of retirement.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan helped to Sc
cure for Lincoln its Carnegie library and
the further fact that instead Of operating
for the worse 1t has proven a blessing to
the city has demonstrated to the legis-
lators who have investigated that no harm
could come to the state were the teachers

HOUSE COMMITTEES JEALOUS
Activity of One Body Leads other to
Make Remarks.

1A@AS
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Jan. 2S.-(special.)-Like a
blighting disease, jealousy has broken
out among the various committees of
the house, due to the fact that no one
is responsible for their selection, the
speaker having no authority to s%traighten
out tangles or offer suggestions, hanks
to Mr.. Bryan's interference. BY reason
of this intense jealousy at least an hour
was used this morning in a discussion
as to whether it was right and proper for
the finance committee to make a report
on an appropriation bill for a state in
stitution previous to a report on the
needs of the institution from the COM
mittee on public lands and buildings.
The bill which caused the waste Of
time was that by Begole of Gage county
appropriating 500, 900 for three buildings
at the Institute for Feeble Minded at
Beatrice. The finance committee re-
ported the bill back to the house
amended so that only two buildings
should be erected and the appropriation
cut down to $4,000.
1t developed that the finance commit
tee in order to get specific information
regarding the needs of the institution
sent a special committee to Beatrice to
AhNN1AibdNS anu bo u ACSull III COllliull-
tee recommended cutting $50, 1000 out of
the appropriation.
This started Kelley of Furnas on the
waTpatb. He insisted that his commit
tee OH public lands and buildings should
be wiped off the map IL the othe COM
mittees were to do it's work. Then Nc
Coll of Gage made a long speech about
1t being due the fathers and mothers of
feeble minded children to keep the in
stitution in good shape. Killen thought
the finance committee had done very
we'll, though he regretted the looping off
of the $4,000. Then a half dozen others
took a shot at the finance committee
while both Clark of Richardson, It's
chairman, and Begole OF Gage, the in
PRODUCER of the bill. were trying to get
In a word.
q All Of the criticism was aimed at Clark
because Clark has demonstrated that he
is a Woodworking member and has
some Idea of how TO get work done in an
orderly way. When he finally got to
talk he explained that the rules made II
necessary for bills coming to a committee
to be reported back in five days. 50 it was
necessary to send a committee to Beatrice
in order to get first-hand information re-

Hartford, July 29.-The Senate to-

 of the committee on public health and safety instead of the majority report which was adopted by the House The
 bill abolishing the commission and giving it's powers to local health of
 fcers, which was favorably reported
 by a majority of the committee on
 public health and safety, was accom-
 panied by a minority report recom-sl mending the passage of another sub stitute bill which increases the com mission, regulates it's conduct strictly and provides for it to be paid by. the state comptroller and turn in all fees to the state. The House paid no att tention to the minority report and passed the bill supported by the ma jority while tAe Senate this afternoon reversed the decision and passed the minority bill. Senator Middleton ledz the fight in favor of the retention of the commission, saying that whils- barbers commissions had not been as they ought in the past, there was too much good in the commission law to throw it aside and better plan would oblige it to do good work Senator. chairman of the committee in speaking for the majority report,z sharply the commission which he said had failed entirely to- carry out the purposes for which it was created.

MERIDEN JUST
 WALLOPS SPHERE

Ike Williams dinky dry splitter had no terrors for the Meriden Cops yes terday at Meriden, and as a'result the Park City Billy Wielders arrived in Bridgeport last evening with the sad tidings of a 19-9 defeat to relate. They advanced upon the stalwarts of Meriden yesterday with blood in their eyes, intending to take vengeance for that 10-5 defeat at Newfield a few days ago. The sweets were denied them as the score shows. Every Mer- iden Brassie walloped the sphere, some for two, three and four hits apiece. This was done especially in the last part Of the game when Williams arm gave out, he just lobbing them over the pan. There was no other Bridge pert pitcher about, or in fact none of the other players dared to face the Meriden sluggers: The fielding behind Williams was not of the high class attraction either, Blansfield and Will Hams being the only non-offenders. Bridgeport was not very far behind with the old hickory, gleaning 13 hits, five of which were made by Jack Dempsey. the hero of the former con- test at Newfield.\ Jack was injured after his fifth time at bat and had to retire. This caused a shift in the lineup and the advent of Jimmy O;NeiI. The score:
