The State IIolsk Bill Pas3ed.
The t'enate bill iutrodued by Senator
Terrell to provide means for the erec-
tion of a new Capitol and other neces-
sary public buildings passedthe House
Monday with several amendments
attached to it. The amendments will
no doubt be adopted by the Senate
and the bill become a law within a
very few days. The Statesman feels
like congratulating the whole State on
the passage cf this bill by such an
overwhelming majority and in this
connection it takes occasion to mention
that Representatives Finlay and Cole-
man championed the bill with great
zeal. But for their valuable services
the good work of yesterday would not
have been accomplished so soon possi-
bly not at all. But now Texas is to
have a new State house to cost not
less than one million dollars and that
too without the expenditure of one
dollar of the State's revenue. Every
Texan feeling a just pride in the State
will hail with pleasure the action of
the Legislature on this important mat-
ter and the announcement in the As-
sociated Press dispatches that Texas is
to have a new Capitol will be an ad
vertisement worth millions to our no-
ble State.
It is proposed in tho Legislature to
amend the present code of criminal
procedure and as there is no scarcity
of lawyers in the Legislature the peo
ple have a right to to expect that any
change in a law will be an improve-
ment upon it. The present law and
the amendment proposed to it makes
no provision for the payment of nec-
essary expenses incurred in conveying
witnesses under attachment from one
county to another It often happens
that shrewd lawyers employed in
murder cases have witnesses summoned
from distant parts not because they
expect to get any evidence from them
bearing upon the facts of the case but
for tho tole purpose of getting a
continuance thinking and hoping that
said witnesses cannot be found. The
circular ofJSherill Corwin president'of
sheriff s convention which was print-
ed and laid on the desk "of every
member of the Legislature sets forth
some valuable suggestions. The
people want legislation that will lessen
litigation and put the costs of courts
and government down to the lowest
posible figure. They want no foolish-
ness or humbuggery in government.
Taxpayers farmers mechanics and busi-
ness men do not wish to be dragged
away from their business to give
evidence in a dirty little courtroom
every day in the year Sundays only
excepted. In revising and amending
the code let nothing be overlooked and
no mistakee made.

The excessive corpulency of a cer-
tain United States Senator has long
been the butt of editorial wit and spicy
Ion mot from the pens of Washington
correspondents. Few persons have
suspected that bis obesity was a disease
and liable to prove fatal. Yet this is
the sad fact. Exccsiive fatness is not
only a disease in itself but one liable
to generate other and more serious ones.
Chemistry has at last revealed a safe
sure and reliable remedy for this
abnormal condition of the system in
Allen's Anti-Fat Distinguished chem-
ists have pronounced it not only harm-
less but verv henf-final to thn tmirm

tion. Sold by all draggists.

Dave Melasky And Charles Reed
Arrested. The Omaha llerald of a
week ago has the following:
"An officer arrived in this citv from
the west last evening having in charge
Daye Melasky and Charles Reed alias
David Douglas' two Tcxans who are
charged with numerous murders and
who have been keeping themselves in
obscurity in Central Nebraska for some
time. The men were captured last
Siturday evening at North Platte.
They rode into the place at about 4 p m.
and were captured at about 9 o'clock
in the evening by two men who had
gone there especially for the purpose
and whose names it is desired for the
present to keep quiet. The captured
men had gone into an eating-house at
North Platte for supper each having
a needle-gun and carrying two revolv
ers. On entering the dining-room
they placed their guns in the corner of
the room nearest the door and walked
toward the table. The officers entered
behind them and standing between
them and their guns called upon them
to surrender at the same time leveling
revolvers at their heads. They surren
dered and were lodged in jtil at North
Platte until yesterday morning when
they were placed on board the U. P.
train heavily ironed and brought to
Omaha. They are both young men
Melasky appearing not more than 20
years of age. A llerald reporter visited
them at the nil last night but they
declined to make any statement. The
sheriff at Austin Tex. was telegraphed
yesterday and replied that Melasky
was wanted there being already under
indictment for murder. A brother of
the young man also telegraphed
inquiring for particulars of the arrest
and what disposition is to be made of
the young man. They will be held here
until a requisition from the Governor
of Texas ia received and granted by
the Governor of Nebrska.

before completing the reading of tho bill
the Senate adjourned.
'Wasuixgton' February 15. The Senate
Committee on Railroads heard to-day the
conclusion of the argument of Mr. Lowry
counsel for the Western Union Tolegraph
Company against Senator Jones's bill
authorizing railroad companies to construct
and maintain telegraph linos for commer-
cial purposes. Mr. Lowry said the act of
18C6 gave the Western Union Company
nothing which it did not already possess
except tho right to enter a State with its
lines in opposition to the will of the State
Legislature as was done in the Pensacola
ease and that there was no reason why
other tolegraph companies should not build
their lines along railroads on the opposite
side of the track from the Western Union
lines if they so desired.
Gen. Butler then addressed the committee
in favar of the bill dwelling on the difficul-
ties of controlling such a great corporation
as the Western Union on account of the
immense power which it possessed of cor4
rupting the legislatures. lie enumerated
the advantages that would accrue to the
public from tho passage of the bill and
said the buying up of rival Hues by the
western Union Company as soon as they
began to be successful Was proof that tele
graphing could be done more cheaply than
it is now done. At the conclusion of But-
ler's remarks the committee adjourned un
til Monday when Mr. Simonton will ex
plain the nature of the relations between
the Western Union Company and the New
loric associated press.
WASHiXGToy February 17 Sexate-
Windom of Minnesota presented a pet
tion of the negro co-operative association of
bhreveport Louisiana favoring the passage

number of ministers who represented the
colored congregation or that place.
The Senate resumed fhe consideration of
the unfinished business being the bill to
amend the internal revenue laws which
contains an amendment to reduce the tax on
tobacco.
Dorsey of Arkansas moved to postpone
the further consideration of that bill for
the purpose of taking up the postoffice ap
propriation bill. Kejected by a vote of ?5
yeas to 37 nays and the Senate proceeded
to consider the bill to amend the internal
revenue laws.
Hocse During the morning hour Ilale.
