Neb., to Tue Lixcor¥, Telegram devoted itself to routine business during the morning session. The re- ports of standing committees on bills that had been under consideration occupied th first hour, and the first reading of a scorc of new bills consumed the greater part of the remaining time House roll 82, Crane's bill givin in counties with a population of over 150,000, otherwise Douglas county, aathority to arrange trial d cases as they fit, « to give another trial docket, was placed on {ts passage, but failed to carry. This was the third time that it had come up, and the fntroducer was not in the house on this o casion. His colleagues from Douglas oncd more averted impending disaster and s cured unanimous consent to have the bill re committed in order that necessary amend ments might be added House roll 1, Howe's bill providing for the submission of an amendment relating to the fnvestment of the permaneut school fund, was also recommitted pending the result of the recount now in progress in the office of the tary of state.

Kessler corrected a statement as to the amount of stock shipped out of the yards to eastern and southern markets, Lockner wanted the members to under- stand that no charge was made for re-ship- }ilng in such cas s the only charges were for feeding, the unloading and loading being done free. Van Duyn ented and said further in response to auother query that shippers could sell their own stock if they so chose, and did not have to patronize the commission men. Barry asked if it was not a fact that a rule of the Live Stock exchange at South Omaha virtually prevenedt the shipper from selliug his own stock, and Van Duyn said that he had been given to understand that such was not *he case, but he did noit know about it. ‘The house then went into committee of the whole, with Higgins n the chair, to con- sider the substitute stock yards bill pre- pared by the committee. The first and second sections were appar- ently s; but after’ cons discussion section. The ause relating to cken out, and in place of it put a line making it the duty of the inspector to say which were stags and which were piggy BOWS, dockage was Regulating the Charges. A long debate ensued over section 4, which rovides for the charges that may bo made y the stock yards company for the handling of stock. Kossler led the fight for reduced rates, and made a speech that elicited hearty ap- plause. Elder championed the cause of the stock yards company ave it as his opinion that the bill was unconstitutional Dobson said that he had experienced a change of heart, brought about by Kis trip 1o South Omuhi. He was in favor of a raa- dcal reduction in rates previous to that time, but now he was vel anxious that no in- ustico be done that corporation. His trip had been o revelation to him, and he felt much more kindly toward the company than hehad before. Trwin wanted to know Dobson had managed to find out all about that groa ratio®in a couple of hours. Dobson retorted that he could have told more about it before ho went theve than Irwin ever knew. Kesslev said that he based his statements ou ten years experionce in the yards, rather than on ten minutes experience, as did Dobson. Smith of Holt spoke srevelations” that had en made o vin member subsidi iven by the company to the packers were fotiohod upon, and. .’ ditorence. of opinion Big commissions, watered stock, robbery Kindred words wore freely used on one si fuir troatment, great benefit to the state and better things to come in the future were the points strongly sct forth by the oth Elder saxd that he another who had TUD ACTOSS B T and he wanted the house to “figge .

He knew that the bill was inspired by the feeling the always animated some people and induced them to Jump onto everything that looked like a big corporation, and he believed that 1t was drafted for buncombe.

Senator Darner contended t ple were not yet in a frame of mind to adopt a new constitution. He believed that a settling and disintegrating process was going on in the political parties of this st und this process should be fully completed before a new constitution was framed.

The form of the present constitution made it almost im- possible to amend it. Senator Tefft believed that the people of the state demanded a new constitution. He believed that the people could be safely trusted to send delegates to a constitution convention who would do their work properly. The people should be the judges of the necessity for a constitution, not the senate, Senator Pope also favored the bill, He pointed out the fact that constant efforts are being made in the legislature to get a the present constitution.
