A Saloon for Fort Crook.

Fort Crook gets a saloon, or more
than one as the little village of two
hundred people known as Crook, shall
designate.
This was decided Tuesday in a
senate committee of the whole when
the Gates bill was approved and rec
commended for passage. That is it will
get saloon unless Governor Shall
enberger should see fit to veto the
measure.
The bill in question was that of
Representative Gates providing for a
few changes in the license laws, and
primarily for the permission of the
state that Fort Crook should be given
the saloon privilege that was taken
away from it two years ago. A letter
was read from Col. Gardner, the COM
mandant of the post asking for the
permission to be granted for the es-
tablishment of a saloon there, and a
few petitions were sprung from Om-
aha citizens asking that such act be
passed for the benefit of the metrop-
oils. 1t was claimed by the Omaha
triumvirate that drunken soldiers are
a menace to the city and that if they
could be kept at Fort Crook they
could be better controlled by the army
officers.
When the vote was taken on the bill
two county optionists, Senators Don
oboe and Bodinson voted for it, while
Hatfield and Meyers. who have been
considered doubtful, also approved the
bill to give Fort Crook the privilege

New Company Enlarged.

The Jenz Automobile company,
which some time ago contemplated re-
moving from Beatrice, has decided to
remain in the city, having closed a
deal by which it secures the funds
necessary to operate it's business. A
trust mortgage for $4,000 was filed
in the office of the county clerk Sat
urday, the mortgage being given up
on the property of the company for
the purpose of securing bondholders
who have promised to purchase $1O,-
900 in bonds to be issued by the COM
pany. The bonds will be disposed of
by the Commercial club.

NettIeton's Bill Failed to Pass.

The long campaign between Dan
Nettleton and the insurance lobby
over H. R. Sc, resulted Tuesday morn
ing in the defeat of the measure, it
falling seven short of the required
constitutional majority. This meas
ure provided that all premiums should
be non-negotiable until the signer
should have endorsed thereon his re-
ceipt and acceptance of the policy.
The measure was mashed fiat in
committee of the whole a couple of
weeks ago. Nettleton moved that the
house refuse to concur in this action
and the house duly refused. After a
momentary victory the lobby was put
fiat against it by the unexpected ac-
ton of the house in refusing to con-
cur in it's own report. The insurance
lobby went to work with blood in it's
eye. The hundred or more agents and
managers who had been working
against the bill redoubled their eff
forts. The result of this energetic
far-reaching campaign showed this
morning. While it is probable that
the resources behind some of the lob
bies operating at the state house were
greater than the support behind the
insurance lobby there is no uestion
that this lobby yields wider and
more diverse personal influence than
any other.
The Nettleton bill was aimed III
fraudulent practices but many of tie
members were clearly of the opinion
that the passage of the act would in
terfere with the transaction of bust
ness by honest, well-intentioned
agents.

XIII County Option.

By close vote the state senate
Tuesday afternoon defeated Senator
Millers county option bill. Sixteen of
the thirty-three senators voted for the
bill and seventeen against it. One
vote in the negative turned to the af-
firmative would have sent the bill
through the senate. Ketchum of Thay-
er, man who never took drink of
intoxicants in his life cast the decid-
ing vote against the measure. The
membership of the senate is supposed
to be determined in the stand it took
on the test vote Tuesday and the
friends of the bill have given up all
hope of getting such measure passed
at this session. No effort will be made
to reconsider the vote of Tuesday, ac-
cording to friends of the bill. In
fact the opponents allege that they
could pull one or two more votes over
on their side if necessary.

The house began the consideration
of the big maintenance appropriation
bill Tuesday afternoon.
The appropriation for the govee-
nor's office was allowed to remain as
the committee proposed, amounting
to $500. The budget for the board
of public lands and buildings was also
allowed to stand at $4,000. Pool OBJ

The appropriation for the payment
of state treasurer's bond was cut to

bonding companies were practicing a
holdup and that the amount should be
cut to $3.50. Other members feared
however, that if so large cut was
made that the bonding companies
might refuse to supply the bond and
that the treasurer would be forced tic
secure a personal bond. Personal
bonds were not at par in the estilna-
ton of some of the members. Cases
