In the house 543 bills were 1ntroduced and fewer than fifty passed. These bills if piled one above the other would reach to the top of the Eiffel tower. One bill alone, the New- berry maximum rate measure, made a pile in the printing ofico twenty-four feet in neight.

But now we havo the credit of voting for itand the other fellows must bear the blame of defeatiog it.”” Represontative Stevens of Fillmore sald: “Yes, itis better forus that1t did not pass, Tam personally glad that it did not pass this year as the supreme court would have been agalnst it, and if thero had been any wiscar- viage in the beneilis the peoplo expected from it we would be blamed, We can go on ourrecord to the people and n two years from now we will Sween theentire state,” Senator Fill of Hasti ngs, on his way to the capital Saturday afterndon, said: “Yes, I think the Newberry bill was too severe, “That was the trouble with 1t.

Plans Ready for a Grain Elevator to Be Lo- cated in Omaha. OMAHA WILL MAKE A GRAIN MARKET, Gramn Men Discuss the Warchowse BIll as Passed by the Nobraska Legislaturo—An Emporte ant Measure, For some timo enterprising citizens of Omaha have felt that a great grain produc- ing state like Nebraska should have some market for her cercals nearer home than Chicago or St. Louls, When the stock yards were opened at South Omaha the idea that a market could be built up for live stock so far wost of Chicago and inthe faco of the competition of that great market was scouted, not only by the stockmen of other states, but even many Nebraskans had very little faith in the scheme, T'he marvelous growth of the Omaha live stoclk market has been a matterof en- couragement to ghain men who see no reason why Omaha cannot be made a market for grain as well as for cattlo an hogs. This idea has beon growing vory rapidly of late with the result that a bill was prepared and presented to the legislature providing for the regulation of public warenouses, which was regarded as the first step in the building up of a Nebraska grain market, pub- lic warehouses being as essential to a gramn market as yards aro to a live stock market. ‘I'his bill has already been outlived in these columns and is similar in its essential foa- tures to the laws already in force in IUinois and Missouri, which are familiar to all grain men. It provides for tho estublishment of public warehouses, wher grain can be stored at small expense to the owner, and lays down the rules and regpulations governing such warehouses. The bill pssed the senate with very little opposition but in the house it was regarded with suspicion from the fact that it camo from Omaha and that it was fav- ored by the grain men, It required no little amount of work on the part of its friends to exnlain its advantages before tho country legislators could be won over, and even then it did not pass the house until al- most the last thing be fore adjonrnment, Pertiaps the best way to judgo of the im- portance of the bill is to hoar what those best informed have to sny on the subject. C. H. Fowler, treasurer of the Fowler ele- vator company of Oraaha, said: *“I'rogard this bill as one of the best bills, for the farmer aud for every one elsein N braska, that tho legislature could have passed. One of its greatest benofits will be to enable Omaha to reach all warkets, north, sauth, east and west, and, furtherinore, to sell direct to exporters on our own grade. £ the Galveston harbor is opened it will make a good outlet for our cereals, he bill will admit of the establish- ment of warchouses in the state, where local dealers can store their grain and_horrow money upon the receipts issued by such virrchonses, as well as in the elovators in as all receipts are issucd on tho basis of grades us shown in the inspection law just passed. We look for Omahu to be- comc one of the best grain polats west, of Chicago. Our eastorn correspondents say that they will gladly buy our grain, at Omaba weights and_inspection, in preference to buying at Chicago or St. Louis, as our grades will be worth more for consumptive purposes, with a fair crop. Ne- braska corn generally brings a premium over otherstates.” Now that the bill ha passed we would like to seethe Omaha board of trade open an exchange hall and the business men of Omaha put their shoulders to the wheel and make this a great grain- center.” It may beadded to what Mr, Fowler said that theé passage of this bill will bo the means of anumber of warehouses and elevators being. builtin the state. The Fowier clevator com- pany has already drawn plans for tho - largement of its elevator from a capacity of 200,000 bushels to a 500,000 or 800,000 bushel capacity. This will necessitate the expenditure in Omaha of between $60,000 and 75,000, The addition will be completed in time to handle the crop of 1801, E. E. Cyrus, also of the Fowler elevator company, spoke still further onthe same sub- ject, ns follows : “All other boards of trade have an ex- change hall for the benefit of active traders in different products. Such hall has branch wires from all telegraph companies and the expenses of running are assessed on all mem- be: of the board. Under the provisions of the warehouse bil, local dealers and farmers will be enabléd to ship and store their grain at points whero thero is a resident inspector and a public warchouse, Thereceipts issued by ware- houses for grain thus stored are recognized as negotinble paper in all markets, and whero in the past foreign capitalists have advanced money and derived the revenue, our local bankers and capitalists will now be enabled to secure the advantages from such loans. Arguments were used to defeat, this bill that outside grain men could derive no benefits from its passage; that it was simply a measure in the interest of Omaha. The fi’wu do not justify the position thus taken, A local dealer at any point in the state, with an elevator or warchouse of small capacity, can shipany surplus of grain coming into his point to larger centers, receive a warehouse receipt for the same and negotiate such re- ceipt with his local banker, or through him, with larger financial institutions.” The Omaha elevator company also took great interest in the passage of the ware- house bill, as was evidenced by conversa- tious with A. B. Jaquith, manager, and E. P, Peck, secretary, who expressed themselves very much the same as the two tlemen previously mentioned. They said in sub- stance : “The idea of grain inspection to a dealer is this: Tfwe have a law regulating weights and inspection we can sell grain to go to other markets and our weizhts and inspection are reccived without question, but without such a law we are at the mercy of the purties to whom we sell. If it is claimed that our weights are short, for exumple, wo have to make up the difference and, in orderto allow for these losses, we must buy oun a wider margin. The new law, by providing for oficial weights and grading of cereals, does away with all disputes on that aueal,‘mn and grain men can operate on @ smaller margin, which is of just so much advantage to the producer, - It puts Nebraska on the same basis with Minnesota, IHmois, Kausas and Missouri, which have similar laws. The new law must result in con trating more business in Omaha, and inside of ayearit is safe to predict that a grain ox- change will be formed here, something simi- lar to those in other cities, which wiil bring a great many grain dealers into Omaha from other points.’’ L. D. Fowler, cashier of the German Sav- ings bank, who was made chairman of tno commitiee to draft the warchouse bill and have it presented, spoke of the value of the measure passed from a financial point of view. “The banks regard warehouse receipts as first class security, and during the fall when 1arge amounts of money are required to move the crops this oill willdouble tha collaterat security of our state. In a purely agricul- tural state it is very essential that we have the farm products in_such uhnfw s t be avallable as collateral in case of a stringent money market. n thowayof a benefit to the farmers it enables them to place their grain in a public warchouse, for which & re- ceipt will be given, and on these warehouse receipts they can borrow money at any -bank at s low rate of interest, instead of being forced to pay 2 per cont per month, as has many times happened with no such law in existence, Mr. Dean, of Swartz & remarked: “I think very well of the warehouse bill as passed by the legislature and it will be & good thig for Nebraska. It will tend to grain brokers, make a grain market of Omaha and will en- | able capitalists to build big elevators here, | where farmers can hold their grain, instead of being forced to sell or to store it ut outside points. * In other words they can store their grain bere and discount thelr warehouse re- coipts at the banks. 1f the Omaba board of truda would only wako up now they might make a mariet o grain Bere similar to the market already estabiished for live stock.” James Walsh, for seventeen vears u farmer in Douglas county, said that he wisned to give @ farmior's approval of the bill. He sald: “Ihe presout warchouse bill is one of the BEE: TUESDAY, | best the logls1f®M passed. Herotoforn the farmers of this state were ata 1ows to know what grade of grain they were solling, as they had to take the grading of other st Now thay can soll their grain under Nobraska s pection, and purchases will be made on this bas W. N. Nason, secretary of the Omaha bosra of trade, said : *“The 'fdea is to open an exchange some timo this sunmer, nu few days o meeting of the directors of the board will bo held to conside¥ the subject, The full meaning of he bill is o teansfer to this state n very 'ge amount of the grain business of Chionge and § uis.

Ho suggostod that a special meeting of the board be called to tako theso matters nto consideration and elect the teachers nooded. Mr. Poppleton moved that this matter bo referred to & special committeo and the superintendont. ‘There aro half n dozen eities 1 know of,” said Mr. Popploton, “where tho teachers havea great many moro pupils in the rooms than we havo here in Omaha.
