RAILROADS GAIN THFIR POINT The Election of Secretaries Postponed Until the April Meeting—A Direct Slap at Leese—Mr, Roggen On St wsion. Lixcorx Buneav or Tre Ovama Baw, 1020 P Srueer, Lavcoux, Jan. 10, ) The state board of transportation met as per adjournment to-day at 8 o'tlock, for the cting a new board of s rman Laws cailed the meet On motion balloting at once com board.

Bryan were taken, Three v cach th r Harlan and Beatty. received mor ny Benton, the smooth-faced S vote seven consecutive times der, of insurance fame, while than one v auditor of for Mr. other members of the board alternated be tween the gentlemen receiving the highest number of votes and their personal favor At the close of the seventh ballot Mr., Steen moved that the board waive the ele tion of a board of accretaries until the first regular moeting in April, stating for his rcason that it was apparent that 1o clection could be reached Mr. Benton seconded the motion, There was a sudden pause. The motion took the breath of at least two members of the board away, for the truth was at _once apparent that the railroads had the under hold on the new bourd of trausportation, and would throttie any hLonest efforts that might be made to relieve the people of the state from oppression and extortion. Benton and Steen went on record for the roads, and joined hands with Mr. Laws to continue the grind and keep up the old-ume bittorness on the board. Nothing more, however, was expected from Benton The attorney general stated his reasons clection toproceed, mildly, ly. Hesaid that he desired 100y with the board, and tha Ager and Mur were specially objection anle to him; that the were ¢ Zonisns that could not he removed only by the eleetion of u now board, and he personally appealed W the members to make it possible for him w do He said that allegiance to the hange, and an cffort for Iress from gricvous wron . Hill statod that th torney general would receive the sanction of his vote ked the opinion of the board as to the legality of the bourd of secretarics holding over until the 1st of April. Commssionar Steen produced an opinion from the supreme court, procured by Mr. Benton to protect him in his course, declar ing that the contin of the board would for wishing th frankly and fu to work in hu speal of the at be perfectly legal. Steen then stated that he thought a postpouement of the clection would ~ be for ti public good because the legislatu ‘would want a deal of information that a new board could not give as well as the old. Lecso retorted that ho did not_propose to vote for o man who could not_give any - formation that the assembly might seek. Laws said that the feelings of a majo: of the new membors would govern his_ vote, and as there were no further remarks the was taken, and tho clection of the board ctaries was postponod. ote, howover, for clerk showed tho rottenness of the game. After three ballots H. M. Warin, one of the most negl workmen of the clei 1l force at the state house, was re-elocted. Leese and Hill voted against him, It must be remembered chat Waring i one of the most notorious railrond spotters in the state, He is from his post of duty at least half his time, and although competent, no ofticial room at the capitol is o much neg: lec His re-clection is a burning disgrace. Beuten and Steen showed their allegiance to him by giving him their votes, It is now the fecling here that the attorney general has been slapped squarely in the face. AN EXPERINMENTAL COMMITTER TIRE, The committee sent out by the government tigato hog cholora in_this and other , consisting of Prof. I5, 0. Shakespearo, ill and Dr. Meade Bolton, repro! of the universities of the nia, Tilinois and South ( vely, arrived in the city this morn. “Their Investigation will be conducted ing. at the experimental laboratory of the state univorsity, now under the direction of Dr. Billings, ' so well lmown in But- ler and Richardson counties, and will com- mence immediately. Circulars . have been scattered broadcast throughout the state, calling upon hog raiscrs and breeders to fur- nish tho *'squealers’ for such experiment as may bo deemed necessary by the committee during the work of investigation. Dr. Billings courteously tendered the com- mitteo the use of the laberatory and such other accoutrements he possesses throughout the days of the inves'igzabion. This, how- ever, is but a common countesy. It is unde stood that the committee will take Billings labratory and instruments and proceed in experimental work as in the judgment of the members of the committee may be decmed best. Porkers are wanted, both sick and well, and it is fair to presume that they will come in by dozens and scores, The work of the committee will certainly bo watched with interest throughout the state, and pecially because it is expected that' the com- mittee will endorse or condemn Billings' past pretensions. For the past few duys he of cholera fame Las been very qu He Aas quit playing at “Farming of the Shrew.” ROGGEN ON SUBMISSION. Ex-Secretary of State E. P, Roggen ex- prosses himself to Tue Ber representative bu the submission question as fotlows: “1am infavor of giving the prohibitignists of this state a doso of their own medicine on the submission question by submitting an mmendment to the constitution, wherem high license would govern in the place of an amendment precipitating absolute prohibi- tion. The foregoing tactics would, in my judgment, put the prohibition cranks of Ne- raska on the run; the least effect this move could possibly have woula be to place them on the defense, instead of aggressive, the position they now occupy. The majority of the clectors of this state without doubt favor high license, aud the same amount of energy and influence which has beon used heretofore to defend prohibition would insure the passage of a high license plank at this session of the legislature, You can put me downas being a submissionist on the high liconso plan, I lay claim to eriginating this idea, and after its introduction through the columns of Tur Brs | expect to see my sugizestion meet the approval of the clearest- headed minds of the state. 1f prohibitiou 15 to bo forced upon us at this session of the Ncebraska legislature, then 1 favor a_ dual plink—submission on the one hand and higl icense on the othier. This course would for ever settle the matter, and if the prohibi- tionists aro honest, of' which I have some doubt, they will willingly submit to the plan proposed."’ NEW NOTARIES PUBLI The following Nebraskans were avpointed notaries public by Governor Thayor to-day: Clarles Atohisou, Alliance, Box Hutte coanty; Byron H.

SOME GOSSIPY KUMOKS, Sowe of the members of the senate and house are bent on muking & *‘record” during the present session of the legislature. What it will be be, however, remains a matter that the future alone can determine. Whether good, bad or indifferent, the various constit- uencies will pass their judgment by and by. During the past day or twoa number of wild, wierd and romantic rumors have been current on the streets of Lincoln, A few of them, however, are sensible, and the people of the state will not only give them endorss ment, but a hearty aye and amen. 1Itis stated that investigating committees will be appointed both from the senate aud house, to especially inguire into the work of the veterinary department and the state board of railway tramsportation. It is especially intended that the expendit- ures of the live stock commission sholl be Iooked into and reported upon. [t is further intended that the board of transportation N sha w cause for rescinding the froight rate order of July 5 board will be asked to furnish the schedule rates for Iilinois and Towa, with reports from other states, alleged to have beon tho basis of the flop from the people to the railroad eorporations of the state.

Many commission firms wore compelled to join the exchange for self-protection and not because they wanted to. The speakor thought they would raise the commission to $10 & car on liogs.

At the time thero were some thirty licouses representing 30,000 that were still in the hauds of the excise board to be acted upon, and therefore the money was not available, " If these licenses are passed upon favorably the money will go into the fund, and will be reported in my next report to the school board.” —— All danger of drmking impuro water is avoided by adding 20 drops of the genuine Angostura Bitters, manu- factured by Dr. Siegert & Sous. e Medical Club, The Omaha Medical club met at Doctor Biart's office, the purpose being for scientific and literary purposes.
