The Work That Was Not Done By the Towa Solons. Probability That the Depart- ment of Industry Bill ‘Will Oarry. tion Under the New Apportionment. Legislative Matters and Things Generally. Corrospondence of T bk, Des Moixnes, March 11.—The be- ginning of the end of the legislature is at hand. The record already made up isbarren of results. Not.a seore of laws of a general nature or of great value has been enacted, while there is an abundance of legalizing acts, Not a single measure of any importance to the great agricultural majority of the people has been put into a law. The most prominent measure of this class was that establishing a department of industry, which would give farmers a representation among the several branches of the state government, co- cqaal with the judicial, educational and executive There was a universal demand that tnis should be, and therefore two of the foremost farmers in the senate, John Russell, of Jones, and Pliny Nichols, of Muscatine, toth also well known as reprcsentative men, prepared bills on the subject early in the session, since when they have been discussed and considered by members of both houses.

Dubuque and Scott are are each shorn of one representative, and given only two, while several other districts are reduced to one. Of course these counties all opposed the bill, the increasing northwest was de- termined to be represented and was strong enough to enforce the claim, The following is the apportionment on a basis of 16,860: Pt A COUNTINE, N N COUNTIRS . cxuscawen| WA oN ture was made an unusually large body, and in it were severa’ persons of antedeluvian notions, ho were averse to progress. ‘I'hero were enough of then to hinder and obstruct the work of the others, so that it was not until last Tuesday the bill came up for action, and after prolonged discussion it was defeated, most unex- ctedly, and it was uupi)oned to be g:ld. But Tama Jim Wilson turned up here yesterday and made a quaking among the dry bones. He, in polite language, told the farmers of the leg- islature, who are in the majority, to look over the record of their three months' work; that they had better go to hades (re- yised edition) than go home without enacting a solitary law for the o0od of farmers. They could do no ess than go to work and enact the department of industry law, as some compensation for raising the state tax levy one-half mill, refusing to reduce the rate of interest, and voting nearly one million dollars to state institu- tions. In fact he set them thinking, and to-day it is the general beliet the bill will be started again, this time in the house, and pushed through.

The Shooter Allowed to Cool Off in Jail, John 8wabe, who keeps a saloon on 51 | upper Broadway, had a narrow cscape from getting a bullet fairly lodged in his head. A young man named Fan- ny Woods, who has been tending bar in MeCarthy's saloon, was a little full and in his perambulations struck Swabe's place and there raised a dis- turbance, when Swabe proceeded to throw him out the front dcor, Woods immediately pulled a revolver and fired at Swabe. The latter stood just inside the dieor and the bullet lodged in the edge of the cosement close to the glass, and at just the height of Swabe's head. Had it gone an_eighth of an inch to one side the bullet would have lodged squarely in his cranium. Woods was promptly arrested by Officer Sid Stenling, and on being nabbed threw his revolver down, and submitted. On bein| searched a dirk knife was also foun on his person. Justice Abbott issued a warrant for assault with intent to murder, and the young man was com- mitted tu the county jall. — THE BRIDGS BILL. It Has Been Drawn Up Ready for the Committees to Consider. The joint committeds of the two cities, and the incorporators named are expected to meet in Omaha next Wednesday afternoon to consider the bill proposed to be introduced into congress for the building of a wagon bridge across the river. The bill has been drawn up and provides simply for a wagon bridge, without any refer- ence to having it used for railroad pur- poses, The bill provides that incor- porators shall open books for sub- scription and when an amount sufficiently in their judgement to warrant proceedings with the enter- prise, they shall call a meeting of the stockholders, who shall proceed to b i S T i e e S B S SRR o S 8 70/1da and 20!

For three consecutive sessions this measuro has been defeated in the sen- ate. For some cause, the lawyers have come to the conclusion that a peripa- thetic supreme court is not o}”muoh nocount, 8o they have decided to re- move the wheels from under it, and ghnt it to stay, at the capital. A ill to this effect has passed the sen- ate, which also requires the courts to hold five terms year, and each term to continue until all cases docketed for the term aro disposed of. Tf it becomes a law, the court will com- mand the dignity due to such a body, which it cannot now, itinerating about the state to accommodate a few law- ors. For years thero has been an outory among the farmers against the scarcity in thoughts, not breaths, but who must count time' by heart-throbs, and whose lives, like domes of many-colored glass, stain the white radiance of eternity.” It's 00 bad, ~—An eloping party from Pittafield, IIL, are expected to pass th:oug!l this city, and fhe officers have been notified to watch for them. The man’s name is given as Charles Snadgrass, and the woman’s Mrs. Carnes. ‘They haye Leen traced to Kansas Oity, where they spent Friday night, and are of money and hiEh rate of interest. The other day a bill came before the met county in bed with O’Brien and Dickinson. She asked the house to put her: back in the old district, which was done. Throughithe night, after the passage of thisbill, Dubuque, Beott, Mahaska, Wapello and other shorn counties, ' nursed their wrath, and the next morning made an effort to reconsider the bill, on the ground that it was unconstitutional. The debate developed unusual interest by the democrats in the matter, so the ‘majority decided not to reconsider. It 18 probable an effort will be made to change the bill in the senate, but legislative courtesy would hardly per- mit it, as the hoase passed the sena- torial bill as it cawe from the senate. Representatives Pickler, Holmes and Davids have been appointed by the house to prepare a bill providing for the education of Kate Shelley, the Boone heroine, at some of the state institutions at the expense of the state. She earnestly desires to get an education; and she ought to have it, though she is poor, as she has to house to reduce the lezal rate of in- terest to 8 per cent. The committee recommendedits passage, and, strange- ly, the leading farmers on the floor opposed the bill and it was defeated, on the sophistical ‘ground that as the 1aw now 1s, money can be borrowed at 8 per cent., but reduce the legal rate to that, and it will drive all the money lenders out of the state.

The bill provides for either a low bridge or a high bridge, as the stock- holders may decide; certain couditions and specifications are attached to each, When it is decided which it is best to build, the plans and specifications are to be filed with the secretary of war, and to be subjected to his approval. The bill further provides for the condemning of such land as may be meeded for the securing of proper approaches, the con- demnations on the western side being under the laws of Nebraska, and the others under the laws of Iowa. The bill also provides that the company may establish offices in Council Blufts or Omaha or both.
