LINCOLY NEWS AND NOTES. The Burlington Does Not Oppose the Candidacy of MoBride. TRYING TO INT‘MIDATE HILL, New Incorporations—The Question of Suomission Very Doubtful -Meets ing of the State Prohibition Clubs—New Notaries. 1020 P StekT, Laxcown, Dec. 27, “The attack of the Burlington organ on General MoBride,” suggostively remarked a wel itician this morning, ‘'is ve sign “Why sol tive. “You newspaper fellows take it that it is because the Burlington opposes his candi- dacy forthe spoakership. That's all non sence. The Burlington and its organ have no fears whatever of McBride's intentions on the honors of the house of representa- tives.

The statutes of the Btate are pretty cold on some questions, especially on loaning a certain class of the state's uiative fund, aggregating now nearly threc-auarters of a million dollars, But, notwithstanding the clause in the con- stitution, clearly defining the manner it is to be disposed of, some, it not all of our past state treasurers have been in the habit of de positing this fund with responsible banks, here and there; and the interest on the de deposits has gone to swell the treasurer's income. It is natural for banks to wish to > & portion or all of this fund olitical attitude of tho First National bank was not such as to bo likely to court the favor of Captain Hill; and, realizing this, John R. Clark secks to compel him to make his peace with the bank by covert threats. MeBride's unfortunate muddle furnished a splendid text. While no one believes his action or course to have been criminal, it gave a splendid opportunity for the paper to print the section of the consti- tution governing tht disposition of the fund. Clark hopes to compel Hill to come to him with a provositien to deposit a portion of this money in his bank. It would, of course, pre- clude the possibility of kicks from that quar- ter.” 1 *‘What de you think that Hill will do about £ “He will say by contemptuous silence'—go to h—1' He is no chump, and will safely and wisely guard the trust that has been reposed i him, Clark will fume and_froth, but that is all the good that it wili do him. NEBIRASKA ENTERPIISES. Articles incorporating the Nebraska Gas Fuel comvany and the Ashland Mill and Electrie Light company were filed in the office of the seoretary of state to-day. The principal place of business of the first named company is at Omaha, and the author- 1zed capital stock is 8500,000. Article second stutes that the object of the corporation anufacture of gas from uch other material as may be de- sirable, The existence of the company will date from February ™1, 1880, to February 1, 1989. The initiatory members of the company and the incorporators are, Casper E. Yost, Edgar M. Morsman_and sEugene P. Newall. The Electric Light company dates existence from December Lith, 1858, and continues twenty years unless dissolved by consent of + & majority of its stockholders. The company associates a general milling Business with tho right to purchase and dispose of electric ight, dynamos und all other priviliges be- ongitg to the same. A capital stock of $30,000 is author and subscribed for the purpose of successfully operating the busi- ness. The following gentlemen are the in- corporators, viz: W. J. Bryan, E. C. Pan- carst, Willism J. Durken, S. G, Bryan, J. S. Tewksbury and W. R. Vaughn. SUIMISSION VERY DOUBTFUL. The submission question has been dis- oussed in Lincoln more or less for the past six weeks. In some quarters the opinion has prevailed that'the great bone of conteation wouid be submitted to the people for final ndjustment. It has been repeatedly stated that the house would favor the necessary mot. Doubt, however, has always been ex- ressed as to the attitude of the Senate, but nowing ones, favoring submission, have not been slow to express the conviction that the Benate was even more sure than the house on the question. It now seems from a careful canvass that the house is doubtful, and the senate securely against any act that tends that way. $Soineof the shrewdest politicians of the state, however, will advise a thorough revision of the license law, and a Lincolnite of prominence says that the law makers of the state can not do a better thing than to put the whole question into the hands of an excise bogrd. But it is given out that the submission question will be held over the head of a class of legislation, vital to commercial Interests, and liv times may be antioipated. Submssionists are bent on conquest at any hazard. The license boys, also, will be found in the fight until thedast dog is hung. STATE PROMINITIQN CLUBS, The state league of prohibition clubs met in conforence ut Temple ball to-day. There were twenty-four persons present, eleven of whom were ladies, and the object of the meeting was to perfect and strengthen the state league for future work. It is cvident that the prolubs of Nebraska die bard. It is understood that the object was not wholly accomplished, but that a pretty 00d commencement was made, considering he attendauce. The league proposes to get in somo work during the session of the logis- lature. But what claim the prohibition party has upon the legislature-elect is not alto- gother clear. It might be well for tho cold water party to consult general ethics before makiog u further dash for cheap notoriet This is the r\mn way Lincolnites and many other sensible citizens put it, irrespective of party.

CURTIS PUBLISHING CO., Philadelphia, Pa, HAS A ROMANCE OF HIS OWY Strange Hvents in the Oarcer of Robert Louls Stevenson. HOW HE SECURED HIS BRIDE. Her Husband Cheerfully Gave Her to the Great Novelist and Then Acted as Best Man at the Wedding, An Author's Wooing. Robert Louis Sterenson, who pected back here from his unsucc cruise for health among the South islands, San Francisco corre- spondent of the Chicago Herald: has been discussed a good deal by the eritic but many facts in regard to his perso history have never been published. Stevenson first came here eight years ago to get married. When he was tak- ing that teip that bore fruit in his book, An Inland Ve 2,”” he met in Paris Mrs. Samuel Osborne, of San Fraucisco. She had married young Sminuel Osborne, who was private secretary to Senator Stanford. She was a brilliant brunette, Her husband had gone with her on a vacation, but he had been recalled. She and Stevensou fell in love at first sight. Their literary and personal tastes ran in the same channels, and the author spent much time in her com- pany. When she left for home it was understood that she was to get a divorco from her husband by means of the processes of the California courts nd when this was accomplished Stevenson would come out to the golden te and make her his wife. When Osborne was told of the desire of his wife he made no objection, and even gave his wife all the'aid in his power. The result was that she obtaned her freedom, Then the tidings were sent to the dis- tant lover and he prepared to come out to the west for his inamorata. Steven- son engaged passage in the steerage of one of the great ocean lines, with the design of writing up his experience. He had a sorry time among the emi- grants. This experience, however, didn’t cure him, as he took passage in an emigrant car, and crossed the plains in that fashion. This worsoe than the steerage trip, and the journey con- sumed two week Whes Stevenson reached n Fran- cisco he was a_sorry object. Foul air and poor food had reduced his strength and he was a semi-invalid. He was re- ceived, however, with open arms. As soon as he was cleaned up by a series of sulphur baths, the wedding s held. Osborne gave away the bride, his ex- wife,with the heartiness of manner that might have been expected in the most disinterested person, while he capped the climax by introducing to the bride and groom & handsome and stylishly dressed young woman as his afiianced wife. The marriage feast was very gay Soon after Stevenson went with his bride to a deserted camp on Howell mountain to recuperate his health, There he wrote the book which he called “*The Silverada Squatter: It isa curious fact that Osborne, to whose good nature Stevenson i debted for his wife, disappe after his second marriage, and no one has ever heard of him since. The dash- ing young woman whom he wedded re- 1ed here several months after So uel deserted her, when she, too, packed up her belongings and departed as mys- teriously as her spouse. Neither of them has ever been seen or heard of by their old friends. —_——, Very Sensible “Japs." In Japan the old-school physicians are permitted to' wear only wooden swords.

Of course, each month the amount of money in the hands of the treasurer increases until at the end of the year he has much move thun enough to cover the demands of the clerks for loans. - Then he sets aside a certain amount as a fund, and the balance he divides into equal parts to be paid to the clerks asdividends.

New York World: The illegal vot- ing of women 1n the recent exciting city election at Boston has been dis- covered. It came out during the alder- manic recount of the votes in a numbe of wards. The very firsy precinet ri counted, No. 1, in ward 8, showed nin votes in excess of the registry, and there is no doubt that all or nearly all of this was due to the votes cast ille- gally for mayor by the women, Hart carried the ward by 700 votes. Numer- ous other precincts showing a smaller excess over vhe check list were found. and the recount was not yet half com- ploted, This illegal voting is undoubtedly due to the fact that the women voted the straight oity ticket, including the school committee, instead of voting simply the school committee, as required by the statutes. The question is, how did the women come into possession of the straight ticket, and was the voting iu all cases dome unsconsciously? It FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

Pittshurg Dispatch: A prominent m nical engineer of Pittsburg, while talking about the ecable roads of that city, said: “From the experience which I have gained asan enginecr of all kinds of motors 1 feel confident that the cable road tem will not last longer than five yoars. In fact, I will make a pre- dietion, and pi it to every man satis- factorily, that the present cables will be supplanted by an electric cable. Mind you I do not say that the cable road is not a success and an improvement upon the old kind of street car traffic with horses, No, the cable road system 1is v good, and there is no doubt that it would be the best system of street travel were it not for one thing. and that is electricity, There are now so many experiments being made by some of our greatest clectrical engine in the country that the electric motor will within a very short time supersede any- thing of motor power that is existing now. “The one trouble of the cable-road system is- that the cable itself is of greater weight than the car, which is against all engineering principles. But the greatest fault of the cable road is the amount of friction which has to be surmounted, and which makes an item in the expense account of the cable road companies that will prove the system to be impracticable afterawhile. Of course, at present everything is all right and the thing ‘pays ‘an immense dividend, but when electricity comes along and offers to do the same wor th less ex- pense, and makes, in addition to that, travel more safe, then you will see that the cable has to go. “Idonot think that the machinery and the road, as it is built now, will lose its value, bnt I mean to say that the condutts in which the cable runs now will be fitled with au electric wire in- stead.” bal- ! A Canadian Cable On Ottawa (Ont) dispateh to the Bos- ton Herald says: A wealthy syndicate of Canadian and English capitalists has been formed for the purpose of laying a purely Canadian cable across the At- lantic, from the straits of Belle Isle to a point in Scotland. The Canadian end will be at Blane Sabion, on the Lab- rador coast, just outside the limit of which the Anglo-American holds a fifty years' monopoly. The Dominion government propose handing over its Tine running along the north shore of the St. Lawrence from Murray bay which will be completed to Blane St bion next year, as a subsidy to the new company, leaving, therefore, only 2,000 miles of cable to be laid. One of the leading English cable companies has offered to lay the deep-sen cable com- plete for $1,800,000, while the Anglo- American combination now represents $10,000,000 capital. A charter will be n})]rliml for during the coming session of parhament. The Dominion govern- ment has decided to ask parliament for an appropriation to meet the cost of constructing a line of cable between Halifax and Sable Island, a distance of 100 miles, at which point it is under- stood the Bermuda cable will land to form a connection with the proposed goverament cable and Halifax. The Telegraph Construction and Mainte- nance company, of London, has sub- mitted o proposat to the government, offering to lay the cable and take £2,000 per annum for ten S as payment, which proposition, ‘being the lowest offer, it 1s believed the government will aceept.
