GETTING TO BE A NUISANCE. ; The Many Objectionable Features in Iowa's Registration Law. SEVERAL AMENDMENTS OFFERED. Other Legislative Proceedings—Meet- ing of Jones County Farmers— Brilliant Opening of the Hotel Sclma at Ashland. Towa's Registration Law. Des Moixgs, Ia., Jan, 27.—(Special Tele gram to the Beg.|—The registry bill, which haos been under hot discussion in the senate to-day, 18 based npon the gencral registry Jaw passed two years ago. That was Towa's firsb.experiment with the registration, and like all experiments, its defects were brought out by trial. There has been a great deal of clamor against the registry law because of I Bireg principal objections to it. These were the expense it caused, the nuisance of fre- quent rogistration and the operation of tiv law to deprive persons from voting who could not.be present to register on the days pre- seribed by law. Under present arrange- ménts it costs some £1,400 or $1,500 for one registration n this city. The law, as amended proposes to reduce the ex- _pense by cutting down and limiting the compensation of judges and clerks of registration. Under present arrangements are compelled to take the trouble of registering at every election, general or sal, even should the but four ks apart. The amended law requires registration for presidential elections and provides that in other years the lists may be made up from the lists of the your last pre- and adding such names as have never gistered, exempting school elections ¢ from -its operation. — Thus another hardship is avoided and ayother objection re- moved, The new bill also provides that when voters are out of town and so unable to ‘registor on the appointed days they may have a chance on election day by making afidavit to the nece facts. It is believed that with these corrections the registry law will meet with gencral favor and be permancutly + aceepted. The objection to the old law is so strong that unless these defects are corrected there will be a strong effort to do away with it entirely. The debate to-day largely as sumed a partisan character and was quite heated at times, The democrats were op- posed to the bill or sought to weaken its pro- visions with amendments that would give it but little effect. There was u good deal of campaign talk of the stump speech order, ‘which protracted the debate several hours, Des Moixes, Ia., Jan. 2 senate took up the bill introduced by Mr. Hutchison to amend the acts of the twenty first general ussembly relating to the regis tration of voters in cities. The chief features ‘wherein the bill differs from the present are: A provision for registration on the day of election instead of on only stated days some time before, and the requirement of full reg stration only in presidential elections; also allowing the list to be wade from the list of voters at the last preceding election. The prosent registration law was passed by the last legislature and the bill now under discus- sion 18 a substitute for it. The bill was take: up by sections, the consideration of the ond section oceupying the entire afternoon. The gencral changes were in some of th hrascology adopted. The main discussion was over the amendment offered by Kegler, of Jackson, confining the registration to cities of the first class. The constitutionalit of the bill was argued at length by Hutch- ison and Bolter. Those speaking favorab to the bill were Hutchison, Woolson, Sweney, Young and Leeds: opposed, Kegler, Dodge and Bolter. The matter was undecided at o'clock, and an _adjournment was taken until 9 o'clock Saturduy moruning, making the bill the special order of business, HOUSE. ‘The house committee on agriculture re- rted the bill compelling farmers with iseased dogs to keep them enclosed on their own premiscs.

These consisted of a fine silver service, comprising nine pioces, apresent to Mrs. Seavey, and an elegant easy chair, a present to the chief.

But allow us to wish you all the prosperity in the worid, and may bad luck ever Tollow you but never overtake you. Special Officer Hyde also presented a cake basket with his compliments. At 7 o'clock last evening nearly all the of- ficers of the force went in a body to the home of the chief to present their congratulatic to him and his bride. Each was “introduced to Mrs. Seavey and she expressed horself as being dolighted with the fine appearance and manty bearing of the officers.

This is indeed very gratifying to me, and permit me to say that for the kind, ‘courteous and courageous mauner in_which you have 8o thoroughly done your duty, I desire to thank each andall f you very sincerely.

'The good, law-abiding cit- s of Omaha will continue to appreciate our services, and as I feel certain that we will never betray any trust nor shirk from doing our whole duty, they will never have reason to be ashamed of our efforts in enfore- ing law and order.

Above all things make the effect a cheer- ful one as the warm rays of the summer sun melt the snow and ice and awaken to activity the hidden forces of nature, which the cold and frost of winter chill and destroy, as the niild and effective measures banish diseased conditions which eruder and severer measures only aggravate. No doubt but you have experienced the fact that~ the gen presénce of a warm-hearted surgeon will encourage to returning health. ‘The world about us 1s a mirror in which we see but a refleetion of ourselves and our na tive selfishness, love of worldly prosperity, sensuality and wickedness generally cloud our vision with a v of ecarth, through which we catch but glimpses of the higher life we all aspire to and to which so few are able to attain. At the close of the lecture the doctor re- plied to a number of practical surgical ques- tions put by his auditors. Among them wer How_to stop a hemorrhage: the modus op- erandi of cutting off a limh:ithe repair of a fracture; why does the study of medicine lead men over to infidelity; how to dress gun- shot, railroad and other kind of wounds. THE SEWER INVESTIGATION. No One Appears to Complain Against the Inspector. Owing to the failure of the council com- mittee on sewerage to designate where they would investigate or receive complaints against sewer Inspector McLean yesterday afternoon, no formal charges were made. The committee, consisting of Councilman Kasper, Hascall and Bailey,” met in the office of City Engineer Tillson, in the base- men of the county building, and waited for people with grievances, who came not. Finally the committee called upon Mr, Mc- Lean and plied him with questions. He em- phatically deniea that he is neglecting his duties, and represented the sewer system to be in good shupe, outside of the sewer on Harney street between Nineteenth and Twentieth, whieh has been ordered repaired by the council., After an exchange of opinions as to how the sewer system could be conducted, the comm ittee adjourned without saying any- thing more regards a continuance of the in- vestigation.

We did not organize to check boss in position, regulate hours or pri We orga nized to protect ourselves in case of sickness or misfortune, which those four bosses know. One of our members recently lost two chil dren, and he being without a position and without funds, we paid the doctor bills and funeral expenses, amounting to $123. The articles fpoke of the first class boss barber's union, The first class boss barbers have never made such a break as to sign such agrecments as _those four shop proprietors spoken of—A. Morrel, of the Millard botel; W, Magner, of the Paxton hotel; Louis Fast, Fifteenth and Douglas and I, Emmel, Bif teenth and Faemam. These four men have in ery respect tried to break our union upever since we started, and the Millard hotel shop even went 80 far as to discharge a first-olass wan because he would not quit the union; an other has been trying to bribe -one of our wembers to quit our union. Members have 1ot teft tho unton with the oxception of two. One of them deliberately sneaked out of the union without an explanation, and the other was expelled for being drunk and _disorderly during o meeting in session. We started four months ago with sixty mem and have seventy now, all first-class men, as our by-laws don't allow others to join. We have a benefit of £10 per weck in case of sickness, and also an employment agent. We will say n conclusion, in the name of justice to all trades unions, that wo think it a groat wrong the way these four gentlomen have iisroprosont, «d us.
