LINCOLN. April 14-(Special.)-Governo
S~hallenberger. Food Commissioner S. l..
Mains and about fifty representatives of
the various creameries Of the state met in
representative hall this afternoon TO dis
cuss the new legislation affecting the
diaries and creameries Of Nebraska. Gov
ernor shallenberger made a short state
ment in which he told the creamery men
he has signed a bilf prohibiting the rushing
OF the can after 8 o'clock, but that had
no effect upon the milk cans, which were
good things to rush all the time. The gov
ernor gave a short talk on the future of
the dairy business of Nebraska and then
excused himself
Food Commissioner Mains informed the
convention he had ruled that under the
law providing for the registration Of can
marks with the secretary OF state, IL is
unlawful for oreameries to loan their cans
to the farmers. but that they must at all
times be in possession of the creameries
or their agents. He ruled also that all cans
must be marked and one of them to be in
the possession of other than an agent OF
the ersmery would be a violation Of the
law.
This ruling forces the farmers to have
their own cans. Mr.. Mains said it was
inspired by a desire to compel the cream
10 be handled in a more sanitary manner.
Some Of the reamery men said they had
several thousand cans scattered out over
the state and that they had been forced to
loan them by competition.
AT the conclusion Of the hearing the
creamery men passed q vote of thanks to
Mr.. Mains for his assistance in getting
the bills through the legislature and prom

One More Fire Escape.
Another sample of tina incompetency of
the late legislature is found in H. r.. 2s.
which permits the construction of cylinder
fire escapes. The bill signed by the gov
ernor provides that buildings over two
stories in height shall be equipped with
one NOR fire escapes The bill should have
read, no 'doubht, with one or more But
the little word cor" is left out OF the
enrolled bill and now all buildings which
have a fire escape must be equipped with
"one more"
Civics Active In Lincoln.
notwithstanding the, possibility of no
election in Lincoln this spring, the Civic
league is getting busy for a campaign the
like of which the city has never seen be-
fore. il is the Intention of the civics. de-
cided on at a meeting held last night. to
have Governor Hanly of Indiana and other
prominent speakers address the voters be-
fore the election in an effort to put the
saloons out of business. The Civic league
expects to get results by reason of the
fact that the people nave three PROPOSE
tons to vote on-prohobition, z O'Clock clos
ing and $50 closing. The two propositions
relative to the hours OF closing are ex-
peeted at least to partially divide the
forces who favor saloons and thus give the
prohibitionists an opportunity to carry their
point by less than a majority vote.
The temperance forces expect to wind up
the campaign with a monster parade Just
a day or two before election. In the mean
time numerous meetings will be held.
TyrreII's Eye ON Congress.
County Attorney Tyrrell is getting some
roasting just at this time because some
of his friends have spoken OF him as good
material for congressman for the First dis
trict. While the. county attorney probably
has not heard of the reports and cares
less about them, the mention Of his name
as a congressional possibility has stirred
up the friends of other candidates to dis
credit him. It is charged that the owner
OF a hotel, restaurant and saloon combined
permitted the sale of beer to lunch GUS
toners and the same was served In the
dining room, and the county attorney has
failed to file a complaint. No complaint
has been made because the city attorney
or city prosecutor has taken no action m
the matter, but Mr.. Tyrrell comes in for
the abuse simply because he has been mem
TONED as a congressional possibility. And
