Member after mem- ber asked to be excused for #n hour. There was also a shower of mo- tions, and finally the reading was deferred until after the consideration of the appropri- mtion bills. The senate adopted a resolution by General Connor directing the commissioner of labor to embody in his next report a chapter on the cultivation of sugar beets and sorghum, the anufacture of sugar therefrom and statis- cs thereon, \ Chairman Raymond, of the special com- mittee, reported that the joint committee of the two houses had agreed on Friday noon as the time of adjournment.

M. Cameron, chairman of the committee Bppointed to confer with the senate in regard fo the hour of final adjournment, reported fixing the time at 13 o'olovk (noon) to-mor- xow, Raynor thought that if so early a time was fixed the house must necessarily concur in the reductions made by the sénate i the opriations, ly dl? not believe the house should tie Ats hands in this way, and Barker took the same view of the matter. + Delaney thought it was time the house Was getting ready to go home. It had better honest and confess that it had been reck- and extravagant in allowing these ap- propriations and concur in the reductions made by tho senate. ’l;'ho resolution was lald over subject to Bills on final reading were taken up.

Lixcory, Neb., March 28, —|Spooial to Tirn Ber.]—Representative Hungate's bill giving the state's consent to the purchase or oon- demnation by the United States of a site for Fort Omaha in Sarpy, Washington or Doug- 1as counties came up in the senate to-day, and Senator Cornell offered the following amend- ment, which was adopted: Provided further, That nothing in this act shall be 8o construed as to deprive the state of Nebraska of the right to tax any property of civilians situated upon any real estate, which the United States may acquire under this act, or to deprive the state of the right to tax any railroad running over and nacross any such roal estate so acquired, or to de- prive the state of Nebraska of the ' right to tax, rogulate, license or restrain any business which might be attempted to be carried on, on any such real estate where such business is, or may hereafter be taxed, licensed or restrained in other places within the state under the goneral laws of the state, or to deprive the state in any way, from enforcing the provisions of its revenue laws, against any person having property upon such roal estate liable to taxation or seizure at tho hands of the agents of the state; nor shall any of the provisions of this act be construed 80 88 to pravent the opening and keeping in repair public roads and highways over and across said reservation. —_— 3 Of Interest to Warshousemen. LiNcoLN, Neb., March 28.—[Special to Tur Beg. ]—Following is the section of the statute entitled “‘warehousemen,as amended by Representative Berlin's bill to put the owners of flaxseed and linseed oil on a foot- ing with other parties: ‘‘Any packer of pork or beef, or any manu- facturer of distilled spirits or of linseed oil, having a warehouse for the storage of his own products; and any keever of an eleva- tor, warehouse, crib or tanks wheroin he stores his own grain, flax seed or linseed oil, may 188ue receipts for his own meats, spirits, grain, flax seed or linseed oil which he actu- ally has so stored, in the usual form of ware- house receipts, which shall have the same force and effect as the receipts issued by the Kkeeper of a public warehouse, to parties hav- ing property so stored therein,which receipts shall be negotiable by indorsement, and en- title the bonu fide holder thereof advancing money on the credit of the same to a lien upon the property so stored and described therein, for the money so advanced, as to all subsequent purchasers and creditors of any person interested therein from the issue of such receipts and the advance of such money."” The Normal School Combine. LixcoLY, Neb., March 25.—|Special to Tar Bae.]—The normal sochool combine utterly failed to carry their point, notwithstanding the “unholy alliance” they entered into in order to achieva this result. At one time Chadron, Stromsburg, Neligh and Superior stood a splendid chance of securing the loca- tion of a normal schiool, but the gang who were pushing the Stout, Butler and Ken- nard claims succeeded in drawing Represen- tatives Coleman, Gilchrist and Hanthorn into their net, but the combine went to pieces on the failure of these claims and the normal school bills were all postponed to-day by a rousing vote. A tremendous pressure was brought to bear on Scoville and Farley of Hamilton, ‘Who were anxious to secure a normal school at Aurora, but they resisted every effort of the boodle combine and voted steadily against every bogus claim, They did not succeed in securing a normal school, but they came just as near it as those who went into the boodle combine. e The School Law Amendment. LixcoLx, Neb., March 28.—[Special Tele- gram to Tz Ber.]—Following is the text of Representative Herlin’s amendment to the school law governing Omaha: ‘‘That all accounts shall be audited by the secretary, approved by a committee to be styled the committee on claims, and no ex- penditure greater than $200 shall be voted by the board, except in accordance with the provisions of a written contract, nor shall any money be appropriated out of the school fund, except on a recorded afirmative vote of & majority of all the members of the board, and said accounts and the records of sald board in all metropolitan cities shall at all times be subject to the inspection and examination of the comptyoller of such oity, whose duty it shall be each month to examine 8aid records and check smd accounts, and from time to time as may be required by ordinance or resolution of the city counci, re!mrl- to said council the nature and state of said accounts, and any facts that may be re- quired concerning said records,” pratvoebbiiy The Farmers' Combine, LixcoLy, Neb,, March 98.—[Spooial Telo: gram to Tuk Bee.]—The farmers of the house met to-night to consider the senate's raductions on the appropriation bills. All but Corbin favored the proposition to conour in the senate amendments, and his concern was chiofly as to the state university, The other representatives held a meeting and de- cided to oppose concurrence in the hope of gm.unf; bigger allowances from a conference committee, Each party claims to have about fifty members and the result cannot bo fore- told. The joint committes on adjourn- ment oannot agree on a date, but the general impression is that the legislature will adjourn Saturday at the latest. The senato has a few blls to read in the morning and the proposition is bemg seriously dis- oussed to then take a recess from time to time, without doing any more business, until the house also gets ready to adjourn. el Oaught in His Own Net. LiNcoLy, Neb., March 23, —([Special to Tug Ber.]—A practical joke was played on Field- grove this afternoon, and one which he will not fail to appreciate. About two weeks ago At an evening session a call of the house was domanded and about thirty members who ‘were a little tardy in coming in, on motion of Fieldgrove were each flued $1 for the benefit of the home of the fripndless. *Dick" Berlin of Douglas, who was® the first man caught in Fieldgrove's net, got excused to- day, and calling Fieldgrove out, invited him 10 go over to the senatq and watch the solons in that body slaughter the appropriation bills. In their absence a call of the house was demandoed and some one answered to every name except “Fieldgrove.” The ntleman from Buffalo was then brought n, aud not having a satisfactory excuse was od 85 for the benefit of the nome for erring women at Milford. Fieldgrove pmd the money and at once went lflmnlnz for the bandsome member from Douglas who led him into the trap, e e Signed by the Governor.

LuxcoL, Neb., March 23, —[Spocial to Tae Bes. ] —High-five has been cultivated to such an extent in the senate that four or five tables in full blast were a common sight when the senate was not in session, Cards have been barred, and prohibition now pro- hibits. Petition and subsoription papers for pres. ents are now running a neck and neck race, with the exchange of photos a close second. School directors and others should take notice that the new laws change the annual meeting from April to June, and make many minor changes in the present order of things. Senator Raymond tried to inject a £30,000 item into the expense biil for insurance on state buildings. He was defeated with the argument that the stato had bettor carry its own Insurance. An allowance of 8380 was made to pay current insarance, and the gov. ernor 18 expected to cancel oxisting policies, The irrepressible photographer took a shot at the senate while in session this morning. ‘The solons are disturbed by the report that tho inmates of a disreputable house have an autograph album with the signatures of many legislators. The book has been traced to a prominent employe, aud many members think it a scheme to blackmail them or im- ‘;nlr their influence if returned two years ence, The cry has been raised that there will be big deficicncies two years hence on account of the senate's reductions in appropriation Dills, but a house amendment to the expense bill provides ‘‘that no oMcer shall incur any indebtedness bevond the amount appropria- ted in this bill except to prevent disaster.’ Representative Cady took ground against the practice of permitting deficiences. Ho said the state institutions might as well be allowed to run without check or appropria- tion and send in their bills for payment. The banking bill l|‘1r{)\‘ldx‘s the appointment of the banking clerk shall be by the auditor, treasurer and attorney general. Tho appro- priation bill classes him as an auditor's clerk, to be paid by tne auditor. Senator Funck got in a motion for ad- Journment iu time to allow the senators to oin in the rush and take a claim in Okla- oma, The newspaper correspondents have been ‘‘took” in a group, and there is a fairly ac- tive demand tor their photos. Senator Sutherland is a fighter and a hard hitter and more than one of his cal- leagues has nad reason to be thankful vhat he has an impodiment in his speech. He took the lead in organizing the senatorial al- liance for retrenchment and he and Senator Keckley have pushed the measure through, 1t was these two gentlemen that discoverod the data with which Representative Corbin knocked out the Kennard claim after its passage in the house scemed sure. Suther- land put in last Saturday and Sunday in looking up old records and found enongh to kill the claim several times over. He was assisted in his documentary researches by Senator Robinson. Among other things they found a long lost printed copy of thoe statutes of 1873, It has the original resolu- tion under which Kennard was appointed claim agent, and the resolution was found to have a forgotten proviso that was fatal to the claim. Captain Gillespie, doorkecper for the sen- ate, is a candidato for the [laco of “special agent for the Valentine land oftice. Senator Norval was chairman of the sena- torial alliance on appropriacions and rendered good service. ‘The hilarity that generally occurs during the closing days of the legislative session will not be 8o boisterous this session. The state property will not be confiscated, either, by the wholesale, as has been usual on theso occasions, Ex-Reprosentative Carr of Seward, was a ;islullve caller to-day. ‘What is the matter with Whitehcad?" asked a member to-day. “In the beginning of the session he stood in with the farmer combine, and now he seems to be wandering after strange gods and voting for the print- ln%lteal and other questionable measures.” he house amendments to the Keckley anti-trust bill were concurred in by the sen- ate, and the bill only requires the signature of the governor to become a law.

Some Facts for Farmers and Others Interesten. OMAHA, Neb.,, March 27,—To the Editor of THE BEE: Two articles in your paper this morning attracted my attention, and with your permission I desire to offer a word on the subjects considered in them.” The first was the lester written by Mr. Powers oun the memorial of the alliance, which ap- peared some time since. I noticed several criticisms on it some days ago in Tue BEE. Now, Ibelieve Mr. Powers to be partly right and partly wrong. During the past five months I have had ocecasion t0 look up the subject of mortgages,and the result will,I think, justify the asser- tions of the ;memorial in some other states. I have not the exact figures with me just now, but can get them, to sustantiate the stateinents I make, as I had them in my possession. They in- clude all mortgages. In Kansas the mortgages are about $235,000,000 on an assessed valuation of between $400,000,000 and 8500,000,000 of property. In Illinois the mortgages are about $450,000,000 on an assessed valuation of between $700,000,000 and-$800,000,000, In Minnesota these facts cannot be ascertalned from state records, but from five average counties the records showed mortgages of from eightesn to seventy per cent of the valuation, aver- aging about forty per cent, being about $150,000,000 on assessed value of $500,- 000,000, In Towa, the auditor had no means of knowledge. g Now, it is not probable that this state has any advantages over the ones named, and hence the $150,000,000 of mortgages may be, probably is, near the truth. Aund, as Mr. Powers says, suppression of truth ends soouer or later in disaster. When men know how they stand, they know, or ought to know, what to do in the premises. Assume this state of affairs to be about the truth, and I think Mr, Powers is wrong, in not putting part of the blame, at least, where it belongs— on the farmers themselves. As a class 1 think, farmers are the most car less, imprudent, and unbusiness- like men of the country. The same rules—or want of rules—which they follow, if pursued by the business men of Omaha would ‘‘bust” seven-tenths of them, in less than three years. It is naturally so with farmers, ‘as a olass. They are vt brought info such lively competition with other men as are the business men of civies and towns. The business man wmust fightall the time, men on all sides of him, next door, or next block to him, to hold his own. Not 80 the farmer, He has a piece of land and it is almost sure to give him some- thing, if the sun shines and the rain comes. So he sows, builds on hope and buys on credit. If crops are short—a mortgage falls on him. Fifteen years ago even, the condi- ’.ion of the farming class was guite dif- erent to what it is now. en, not one in ten owned a buggy or carriage. THE OMAHA DAILY BE FRIDAY. Now there is hardly one in ten who doos not own one-n luxury, become, perhaps, a necessity. The same way with machinery. All of these things cost cash—or mnrtgnfcs. For the same reason that they are thriftloss and c are- less, farmers never got their ‘‘rights,” as Mr. Powers calls them. They can- not and do not organize and hang to- gether, and fight for their rights, and vote for them as other classes do. Where is the famous ‘‘Grange,” that was going to ‘‘deliver” the poor farmers from all evils a few years ago? Mostly gone to fvo‘. because its membors were too careless to get upand do anything. How will the Farmers’ alliance end? Wait and see. I have spent years on a farm, so I am not altogether { gnorant o these matters. The other article referred to, was the item of news which showed that the profits of the Bell Telephone company were 24.45 per cent on the stock It comes in very ‘“‘pat” with this memorial business. It shows how, while the farmers can barely make two ends meet, with no hope of paying more than inter- est on their debts, rich monopolies, who loan them their mortgage money, are growing fat on ill-gotten gains. This is only one of hundreds of the octopuses that curse our land. And every man, who is more than superficial, "knows that, primarily, the farmer—the only producer—has to bear the whole load. Twenty-four and forty-tive one-hun- dredth per cent per annum, und stock noarly trebled in assots! And yet this is the patent protected body that fights every attempt to regulave 1ts extortion- ate charges by all the means that stolen wealth can use, and *‘squeals” that for less charges it can't m 1ku business pay expenses! Where wis itden vears ago? But this is, as I ssid, only one of hun- dreds of such companies, monopolies, trusts—legal robbers—in this country. Well, it will continue to be this way till revolution comes. That will be the ultimate end. Let the allianuce koep up its good work. H, M. Witk SRR A e 2 Proof Better than Assertion. With such proof as the following letter from W. H. Dean, of No. 278 Seventh street, New York, it is not necessary to malke the bape assertion that Allcock’s Porous Plasters cure lumbago, Mr. Deau says: “Somo ton days ago I was taken with a very violent pain in the small of my back. 1t was 80 severe that I conld hardly breathe ; every movoment caused great agony. I fl- naily found out that it was lumbago. Bsing entirely helpless a friond sent to a druggist and got two Allcock’s Porous Plasters; these were well warmed and applied to my back. one above the other. In half an hour, to my great surprise and delight, the pain bogan to abate. In two houra T was able to walk out and attend to my busiuess, the pain being almost gone. Next day I was all right, but continued wearing the plastors for a week." RICH SOIL THIS. Prices Upon O Tenden E. F. Seaver, speaking to-day of present said: “The business situation seems to possoss more of the elements of a large. healthy and permanent growth than at any previous time in the history of our city. 'he boom period- of @ fow years ago which pervaded the ontive west struck us mildly snd died away hefore we knew it was upoit us, leaving uo unfavorable effects, and the summing up of all branches of business at the closo of each year has shown a ma- terial increase over thatof the year prey- 1ous. Real estato has steadily increased in price, and choice residence or business prop- erty is almost without oxception firmly hold.

Eastern apital [n conse. quence 18 not slow in withdrawing itself from tho vaults, where it has been wont to repose ata profit of two or three ver cent. per annum to its owner, and taking hold of property here that can easily be made to pay from seven to ten per cent. Outside proper- ty, especially along the transportation lines, has much more than held its own, as is amply demonstrated by the constantly increasing patronage of the roads running suburban trains, 1 predict that before the close of the present year every railrond running into Omana will have suburban train service in operation, and that thousands of clerks, mechanics and laborers, who arc now renting houses from fifteen to twenty minutes ride from thew place of business by street cars will be living 10 cosy houses of their own a littie farther away, but about the same num- ber of mirutes ride by steam cars. The number of our jobbing houses has been largely augmented, and the capacity of many of the older houses greatly increased during the past yenr. Notwithstanding this fact, the volume of business has met with a cor- responding increase, and all jsbbers appear to be dving a satisfactory business. This shows conclusively that Omaha is reaching out aud competing successfully with Chicago, St. Louis and.other of the old jobbing cen- ters, and her capital and brains are com- petent to handle her tributary territory. “We are, however, lacking in some re- spects. Much of the territory muumlllvJ trib- utary to us is shut out and given over bodily to oulr rivals for want of adequate railroad facilies. ‘We need an independent briage across the Missourl that will permit, for a roasonablo consideration, any and ail rail- roads to eross immediately into our city. ‘This, I am satistled, would result in vwo and possibly three of the great truni lines, now ending at Council Bluffs, crossing over end making this their terminal point and the base of important extensions into the state and boeyond. - We necd, equally as bad, a di- rect line of raflrond to the northwest.” The accomplishmoent of these two great objects will doubtless insure a thirda also of great importance, viz., the construction of a union dopot thaf will at least overshadow anything we now have in that direction. ““Wo need these things badly, and every man, woman and child owning a foot of real estate in the oity shares in the need. All are within our reach, and by a strong and united offort we can get them. There are few citios of tho sizo of Omaha, in the United States, whose bonded indebtednoss s so small, and we can well afford to pay liberally in the way of bonus orsubsidy, for the attainment of these advantages, ‘vhe inducements offered by our large- hearted and deep-pocketed citizens to secure the location of manufacturing industries are fast bearing fruit, and we have many large, sohd and thrifty institutions to show for their efforts in that ‘direction.
