Too Late With the Bill.

A peculiar coincidence between leg.
fsfation and the Sunday tornadoes was
noticed Tuesday. The senate passed
the house bill permitting villages in
which no newspaper is printed to ad.
vertise proposed elections for voting
bonds by posting notices in place OF
in newspaper advertisements. The
bill was intended for the relief of the
village of Ralston, a suburb OF
Omaha, which wanted to vote bonds
for public improvements. but could
not do so legally because no news
paper is edited in the village. The
bill is now ready to go to the gov
ernor. But the village is a thing of
the past. 1t was wiped out of exist
ence by the tornado which also swept
across the city of Omaha.

No more berries are to be sold In
Nebraska in boxes with false bottoms.
Wholesale fruit dealers must purchase
where false bottoms are not used or
