They filed out, and after the lapse of Aifty minutes returned, and the fore- man stated that they could not arrive at an agreement and that there was no possibility of thelr reaching one. The = foreman asked that they be discharged. To this the judge demurred, and told them to go back to their deliberal tions and stay out all night. These instruc- tions were excepted to by one of the jurors, who spoke up and said: ~ *I'll not stay out al- night,” and questioned the autlority of the court to compel him. Judge Groft was evidently taken aback awith the juryman’s bold a: o, but said nothing, and again put them under the care of a bailiff and sent them to their delibera- tions. Personal Paragraphs.

To the Editor of the Omaha BEE: A oall is just issued for the sixth annual meeting of the National Law and Order League of the United States, to be held “at Philadelphia, on the 21st and 22nd of February next. 1t is earnestly desired that this state may be well represented. ’lyhc National league embraces in its membership a large number of the best men of the country, prominent for patriotism, philanthropy, morality, ha- manity and christianity; who are united upon the broad principle of the enforce- ment of the laws; and maintaining the doctrine that the perpetuity of frce government depends on the supremacy of the laws, and the safety of the people on their efficientenforcement. They assemble upon the broad plat- form of the Law and Order league, ask- ing only obedience to the laws; sinking ll(nnrfimm and sectarian differences; ngreeing to disagree about all questions as to what laws would best accomplish the suppression of the evils which it is their aim to remove, but firmly united in favor of upholding the laws now etanding on the statute books of the na- tion, and of the .several states, and of cumpcll(n¥ obedience to their provi- riunls, while they remain the laws of the and. The specific object and work of the Jeague is to secure obedience to the laws enacted, to restrict and suppressess the liquor traffic, to suppress gambling and licentiousness, to prevent Sabbath dese- eration, and all other offenses against the well-being of society, and for the prevention of pauperisi, insanity and crime, produced by the sale of intoxicat- '"51 liquors. It aims also to encournfo :u assist the authorities to enforce the aws, The league antagonizes the most pow- erful and malignant enemies of social order, of the state and of morality. In furtherance of the work, request is made this year, as it has been in pre- ceeding years, that all clergymen of all denominations will speak upon the sub- ject to their congregations, on the Sab- th immediately preceding this annual meeting; and I desire, through your columns, to repeat this request to the clergymen of Nebraska. All'law and order leagues of the state are requested to send representatives to this national congress of law and order workers; and individuals not associated with such leagues, but interested in puch work, are cordially invited to at- tend. Persons desiring information concern- Ing the league, and those proposing to nttend the meeting at Philadelphia, are requested to communicate with L. E.

Life Scholarshipas Presented to Two Blizzard Heroines. SUPERINTENDENT LANE'S FUND. . Contributions From Over the State—A Unique Legal Document on the “*Age of Consent" Law— Lincoln News. [PROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] The fund that State Superintendent Lane is receiving from the schools in the state for the relief of the teachers who suffered in the storm is increasing. Yesterday Mr. Lane had some $300 on hand and the following new contribu- tions were received: From the state normal school, $125; Pawnee City board of trade, $25; Edgar publie schools, #115 pupils of the ninth grade, Omaha high school, 85; Herbert Myrick, editor of the Farm and Home, Springfield, Mass., 81 for Miss Royce. Prof. Farnham, of ¢ the state normal school, has offered to give Miss Freeman a full course of in- struction in that school, board included. The North Nebraska normal college, of Madison, Neb., has forwarded to Super- intendent Lane two life scholarships for Miss Royce and Lena Woebbecke, The certificates state that the parties named have paid tuition in heroism from Feb- ruary 10 to the end of their lives, and are entitled to full college instruction, art, musi¢, comme 1 studies and short-hand. The state superintendent has received a letter from Valley county reciting the good work in the storm of two teachers, both of whom have their postoffice at Vinton, Valley count; One Mary Powell, whose age is sixteen and who was teaching her first term, staid with her children at the school house until the fuel gave out, when she safely took them home, distance of a half mile. The other teacher, Mrs. Jane Powell, took her school a half mile facing the storm and in keeping the wraps around one child froze ]mr hand severel; When she reached a place of safety she was so exhausted as to be unable to speak. THE GRANT-WRIGHT CASE. The Grant-Wright case, which brought out Judge Morris’ celebrated decision on the age of consent law passed at the last legislature, has been appealed to the supreme court. Yesterday Judge Mason, who appears for the court below, filed his brief in the supreme court which, to the court, will be an interest- ing document. The brief goes over all the points in this case and dwells especially on the criminal code as amended in regard. to rage and the age of consent the point Seeming to be whether the law arbitrarily stating that a female under fifteen is a child, or whether proof is necessary that the per- son of such age is yetachild. The brief holds that proof is necessary, and in commenting upon this go t the leg- islature is discussed in the following highly entertaining way. The brief says: ‘‘Some things the legislature of Nebraska can do. There are some things it cannot. They cannot reverse the laws of nature or the decrees of di- vine providence. They cannot make a woman a female child, nor make the child a woman, If she has reached the period of life when nature puts on for lmr the bloom of womanhood. she is a woman whether the age betwelve, thir- teen or fifteen. Any other construction than that insisted on in the courtbelow, or that which is hereinafter contended for, makes the statute a rape on nature, an absurdity, and brands the legislature with the folly of attempting to instruct God.” INCREASE IN CORPORATIONS., At the secretary of state’s office the number of articles of corporation filed during the past year have been compiled, and they show both in num- bers and 1n the amount of capital stock over double the amount filed the year previous. Up fo December 1887, the close of the year, on the record there had been filed 225 miscellaneons cor- porations, including banks, manufactur- ng companies, street railways, water works companies, building associations, ete. These miscellaneous corporations have in their combined capital stock $54,000,000, although in but few 1in- stances is the entiresstock of a corpora- tion paid up in full. It is, however, a great showing for new business in Nebraska for a single year. During the same year thirty-two railroads, real and on paper, have filed articles of incor- poration, the combined capital stock of these roads being fixed at $71,350,000. Some of these roads, which are branches of old roads previ- ously contracted, represent a large cash outlay, but by far the greater portion of the 571,0(1).0&) has been expunded on paper only. Another evidence of the increase of both wealth and business in the state is shown by the returns of banks that are made annually to the auditor of state. These returnsshow for the year ending Jnnunr{ll. 1888, that there are over seven hundred banks in active business operation, against 420 reported for the year end- ing January 1, 1887, There is a great deal of practical worth in the showing of the increase of banks for, unlike many of the new corporations, they do not exist on paper and, almost without exception, their capital is largely paid in. A compilation of the capital in- vested in the banks would show figures representing o great deal of money. ADDITIONAL NOTARIES. The following notarial commissions were issued from the governor’s office yesterday: William A, Bodine, Reed, ‘}{ux Butte county; Ralph A. Weslon, Alliance, Box Butte county; Edgar S.
