ART DEPARTMENT, he Bee Publishing Company OMAHA, NEB for appeal bonds in foreclosure cases, com- monly known as waste bonds. The recom- mendations cannot be considered a victory for the supporters of the bill, however, for it was not done until the bill had been so amended that the law will not apply to contracts which have already been made. The opponents of the bill contended that tho law would work a hardship on the poor homesteader of Nebraska and passion- ate appeals to protect the poor children of Nebraska from belng turned out of their homed, to protect the homesteaders agaiust the hard times and grasshopper years have been common while the bill was under dis- cussion. They found they were not strong enough to defeat the bill in a straight vote and for this reason the efforts of the op- ponents have been In the direction of offering amendments and “talking the bill to death." The supporters of the bill ave presented equally as strong arguments in behalf of the measure. They assert that it would work no hardship on harvest debtors and advanced the argument that the honor and development of the state demanded a law of this kind. It would protect the money lender, but it would not give him any ad- vautage over the borrower. It would, they | claimed, make interest cheaper and would be a benefit to the honest borrower. Senator Mliller's amendment, which it adopted would bave practically invalldated the law, was the {ssue for discussion on three different days, and the vote upon its adoption today was a tie, the chalr voting against the amendment. When it was seen that this amendment had been lost Senator | Racsom offered one which provided that the law should apply only to contracts made after its passage, which was adopted, feventeen voting for it, after an interest- ing discussion lasting nearly two hours. A motion that the bill be reported back for passage prevalled, and the commities arose. *Senutor Ransom immediately offered another amendment, which would excopt homesteads from the provisions of the bil, which was the cause of more oratory, but which was adopted by a vote of 17 to 14, four republicans voting for and oue fu- slonist against the amendment, Bills Passed by Senate, To the semate the following bills were read for the third time and passed H.

On motion of Jordan the salary of five grade nanagers at the Industrial school at Kearney was ralsed from $720 each, as recommended by the committee on finance, ways and means, to $800 each. The salary of matron and physiclan for the Jndustrial school at Gemeva was low- ered from $1,000 to $800. In the section relating to the Home for Feeble Minded Youth at Beatrice an appros priation was added for a physictan and the salary was fixed at $1,200 per vear. The salary for surgeon for the Soldiers' home at Grand Island was raised from $i20 to $1,000. A motion, by Hathorn, to make the salary $1,200 per year failed to carry. The salary of $300 recommended for the superintendent of the .Soldiers' home at Milford was raised to $1,000. The salary recommended for farmer and coachman for this institution was raised from $360 to $600. The actlon of last week fixing the salary of Insurance deputy in the auditor's office at $1,600 was reconsidered and the salary placed back at $1,800. The engineer at the Soldiers’ home at Milford was given a raise from $600 to $900. Dahlsten wanted to Increase the salary of the adjutant general and to get a mo- tion to this effect asked for a reconside tion of a former action fixing it at $1,350 The motion to reconsider was lost by a vot of 32 to 43, and the salary was left un- changed. After the commlttee of the whole arose Taylor of Butler moved to reduce the ap- propriation recommended for salaries at the university from $270,000 to $240,000. This motion was ruled out of order, and | he then asked to have. the bill recommitted to the committee of the whole. He moved recommitment and demanded a roll call. The vote was 67 to 27 against his motion. After Taylor's motions were disposed of the report of the committee of “the whole on the salaries bill was adopted and the measure was ordered engrossed for third reading.
