In the Senate

There was a brisk debate in the
senate Tuesday over the bill to re-
ouire materialmen and lumbermen to
keep an itemized account OF materials
delivered and furnished 1t In case OF
a lien, and to limit the amount OF the
lien to the contract between the build
or and the contractor.
Senator Crane asked to have the
report of the senate judiciary commit
tee, which was in favor OF the bill,
referred back to the committee, stat
ing that a similar bill had been killed
in the house.
Senator Purcell stated that the
bill was just and would prevent injus
tice to builders. He wanted the re-
port adopted. He said It was founded
on the experience OF the attorneys
of the state. As the law stood al
present all the protection was given
to the man who furnished lumber and
materials-none to the builder. He
thought It could work no great hard
ship to lumbermen to keep such ~
account and prevent frauds in Hens o
this sort.
Senator Crane thought the mechan
ics lien bill was just and that it had
done much to build up the country
He said there was no lumber trust
that had ever been discovered. L
the lien laws are repealed it woult
be reenacted at the instance OF th'
builders themselves.
Senator Gunderson 4anted to know
WHY a lumberman should have lie1
more than a grocer, banker or
machineryman.
Senator Martin could not see where
the requirements of the proposed bill
would work any harm to the lumber
men.
In the end the report OF the com
mittee that the bill pass was adopted
Reported.
The following bills were reported:
Senate Bill No. 140, amended to pass;
Senate Bill No. 141, to spass; Senate
Bill No. 142, to pass; House Bill 63

Berlin, Feb. 9.-King Edward and
Queen Alexandra received hearty
welcome from the emperor and the
German people today with the prlnc'-
pal interest of the first day Of the visit
) of the British monarchs centered in the
speeches of the emperor and the king,
when proposing healths during the
course Of the gala banquet at the i'm
perial palace this evening. E. r., -
The utterances of botlr were of the
most cordial nature, each emphasizing
the peaceful sentiments and the close
relationship of the two nations.
The emperor, speaking first, offered
toast to the king and queen. After
expressing the sincere pleasure and sat
.sisfaction of the empress and himself
and his whole house Which the visit
afforded them and extending a most
cordial welcome to the British sover-
eigns, the emperor referred to the an
cient relations and the close ties OF re-
lationship. He hoped that their stay,
which unfortunately. would be brief'
would leave only pleasant recollections.
"Your majesty may be assured by
me- said the emperor, that my capi-
tai and the whole German empire, see
in your presence token of the friend
ly feelings and sentiments which IN
duced your majesties to pay this visit.
The German people greet the ruler OF
the mighty British world empire with
the respect due him and perceives in
this visit new pledge Of future peace
ful and friendly development in the
relations between our two countries.

the preservation and the strengthening
of peace are in accordance and / offer

In the House

When the house was called to Or
der Tuesday forenoon great number
of the seats were vacant because of
the storm that partially tied up the
street car service, delaying the MEM
bers downtown during the forenoon
However, as the session advanced the
seats filled quite rapidly until noon,
when nearly all were in attendance
The most important action taken
during the session was the killing Of
H. B. No. 141. which prevented the
removal of buildings from mortgaEed
lands. if the removal of such build
ing would tend to decrease the ralue
OF the property. The debate on the
subject was rather spirited, the meas
ure being killed. S.ss. III

 There was a time and not very long gone either, when there were no undertakers and no funeral di- rectors. when the whole thing de- veloped more or less on the preach CT or on some other responsible person or persons. The result was a great tangle and confusion and an array of grief. There was a time whed a funeral meant to a preacher not an hour or two of service out several days service.

 in the time of Julius Caesar, it was supposed that men were brave and not afraid of death. Shakespeare, putting it into the mouth of his Julius Caesar, made boast that there was no reason to fear death, yet it is easy to read between tho line of his boasting and discover that the one thing and the only thing he did fear was death. On the occasion of Caesars funeral, it assisted the rude but superb oratory of Marc Antony to uncover the corpse of the mass sacred and mangled man before the crowd. He could show the open, gaping wounds, and thus stir up the passions and prejudice es of his auditors which indeed he did to the extent of making war. Today your business and mine is not to stir up the passions, but to quiet them, not to enkindle grief. but to calm it. not to open the fountain of tears, but to dry them up, so that now the best funeral is not as it was in some days req gently past, the funeral which gives the greatest exhibition Of grief. The funeral of today is quiet. Therefore it is in good form today that the casket be not opened in the presence of the curious public. It is in good form that the Family and friends corr. tain their grief as much as possi- ble, and you are ca..ed on, gentld men, by your high art, which !, believe, surpasses the sp.endid story of Egyptian art, are called upon to help to quiet and calm and soothe the people in this troubled

In the first place you enter into the most sacred institution in the world, the home, and you enter that home in it's most narrowing and sacred hour, the time of Weep ing, you enter into the most intim- ate sacrets of that home.

They tell you that this man is not to be invited to bs pal bearer because of this or that. They tell you who their most intimate friends are and who their secret enemies are. Upon you great, strong men lean in the hour of gloom, for some com fort. and upon you Oeau-! full women lean for succor and help, and to You, gentlemen the wild-eyed walking orphan looks, wondering at this tragedy which has come into their home and left them a.one.

in the world. a human body, once the home and abiding place Of a sovereign mind, and the tabernae. cle of an immortal soul. The body of man is the sublimest thing in the world, 1 know that there are some animals stranger than man, there are some comfpleter than man, yet mans body, I beS lieve is the most curious, the most wonderful physica1 thing in all the world. That body is given un- oyour hands to properly prepare wounds in that body you must GOV CT them up. If the face is scar. red and mangled, you must bring it back to it's normal appearance.

Therefore I say that your ealing is one of the nob,est, if properly filed in the world.

Not on.y because there is bred winner taken from tho home. but because of the expense a funeral entails upon his family. l know that caskets and carriages and flowers cost money, but at the same time am sure that there is some way of giving poor man a respectable and beautiful fulf ei'al. and an inexpensive funeral.
