THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUR slon of the suprome conrt. of no great con- corn to anyone but the independents. 1f the court says the resolution under which the Joint convention met did not need the govern- or's signature, it will justify the independents in their action and enable” them to go ahead without recognizing Governor Boyd, The republicans and democrats are ready to pro- ceed with the contest, and they have nothing of vital consequence at_stake in the question before the court. Their protest was a tost of the powers of the Independent leaders to club their members to subtmit to unreasonable and unjust caucus dictums against their con- sclence and their judgment. It served its purposo, and all parties are now ready to enter upon the contest There will be another fi for the conduct of the convention in the line indieated in Tie Bee this morning. Some of the independents admit the unfairness of the rule which is clearly aimed to rate the €ross-o tions from the direct examin tions. They will probably concec 10 tha contoste The main fight will be over tho proposition to limit each side tonine- teen hours in this contest. 1 the contestees succeed in getting all the evidence admitte an effort will probably be made to the two houses meet mornings for legislative business, giving up the afternoons and per- 'haps evenings to the contest Tho conslituents of the outs aro sending up letters demand- fng results. They want certain legis- lation and their representatives are getting nervous under tho pressure, Both sides are more disposed now than heretofore to make concessions, and if all the evidence bo admitted the contests will be rushed to a conclusion. 1t is not likely the supreme court will render its opinion vefore to- morrow _noon, and perhaps not until Friday. In the meantime the logislature, under Speaker Elder's ruling, can do no busi- uess. The senate has been lost. 1tadjourned yesterday morning and its journal doesn’t show that it has been in the sonate chamber rht over the rules indepond- Iatest Prohibition Scheme. Lixcot, Neb., Jan. 21—(Special to Pue Bee, |—John | Jonn delivered one of his usual prohibition harangues in this city to- night toa fuir sized audience. HWe declared himself an out and out free trader, and fa- vored a national law fixing the rate of interest at 4 per cent. Ho spent a good share of his time lecturing and advising the indevendent members of the legislature,” quite a number of wi n were prosent. The cold water army will swoop down on Lincoln in force toworrow and hold & so-called con- ference. George R. Scott, a leading prohi- bition agitator, says they 'believe that sys- tomatic frauds were pract b vote on the amendment, and that they will demand a recount of the ballots, and expect the independent members of the legislature to fail in line and do their bidding. This 1s one of the chief objects of the convention tomorrow. THE THIRD HOUSE, 1t Organizes by sting Judge Sahler Speaker. Lixcory, Neb., Jan. 21.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee]—Squatter reignty holds sway at the capitolpight, and the Third house has possession of represeutative hall, The announcement of their session brought out an audionce of 500 persons, including many Jadie ited States Marshal Hastings seized the reins by appointing him- self speaker pro tem, aud he made a speech in which he hit oft some of the style and re marks of Speaker Elder in a very happy man- ner. ‘Walt Secly was made temporary secre- tary on the ground that be had given ten years of ineflicient service to the state, The honor of permanentspeakership lay between Frank White ana John Sah The solon from Cass declined, and the honorable mem- ber of the Third house from Douglas was de- clared unanimously elected. The judge was roatly surprised, but rallied sufticiently to Sraw an impromptu speech from his pocket. J. P. Murfin of Superior was made perma- nent secretary, but couldn’t read, and Walt Seeley had to deliver Governor' Pearman’s message, while the governor and the speaker discussed a fine point in high five. After laughing oyer the message tho house went into committee of the whole and ground out several score of bills and resolutions, besides several appropriations, Following is Judge Sabler's speech “Ladies, Gentlemen and Solons of Ne- “braska--This is the fourth time consecutively T have assumed to call you toovder. As we arethe only house with full power direct from the people and no supreme court, the responsibility is great, and we have over one million constituents and are bound to report o cach individual and_cannot leave any per- son_without convincing him we have done the right thing at the proper time and thus become like the gods of ancient lore. “The responsibility you have each assumed 1s wonderful und heroic. Bo men now; arse, follow your leader and know no dan- ger, 'no order or mandate can reach us, no sheriff dare present his face atour citadeland receive the least attention. Our governor, Hon. J, W. Pearman, has no contest, no old ladies dare attempt his - prerogatives, besides ladies know better than try- ing to Ml a man’s place. After an interregnum of one term our governor will very shortly appear on the rostrum and deliver himself in eloguent terms to your understanding and greatly to his benefit. I have read his message and one great point is mado—‘We are the people and must be re- spected.’ *The railroads, banks and currency, trust companies and all other corporations w herein there is great centralization of capital, must reccive your grave thoughts, ana wisdom must be brought to bear on all thesesubjeots, 80 that the final legisiation will redound to the profit of the masses. Iam told the fol- lowing telegram was received by the under- ground wire: *‘Dear Governor: [ am for the people. T possess millions of railroad and other cor- poratioa stocks. Fix rates for freights ana passengers so low that 6 per cent per annum can be realized on all stocks, especially if well watered, This part is my best layout, and do not worry, I will not be left. JAY GouLp. “So mote it be. (Music by the bana). “Tunderstand that every member of this greatest of legislative body has received an- nual passes good on all railroads in the United States, notwithstanding the interstute com- mission orders, We bow to no constitution, wemakeno mistakes; please return such passes aud in red ink in a plain manner write across its face, ‘*“We will not receive bribes.’ “Glory be to God. “As the journal of this assembly does not show who did preside at its deliberations, so the journal of the late unpleasant joint ses- slon shows no lieutenant governor was in it. Letjoy bo unconfined—a dance without a fiddle. ‘‘As Chairman Watson is frem Nebraska City the inhabitauts thereof are always on on the lookout for succors—no other fish need apply. The other members being from Doug- las county, where such game as buffalo, deer, deer, antelope, prairie chicken and quail ave legally protected and have undisputed sway, therefore the members will only look for the tiger in lus den aud high-fives.” Either game is o luxury and costly. ‘“Now in conclusion lot us do our work earnestly, speedily, so that when we return 1o our constituents we will be welcomed with banners and brass bands and the joyous masees with full praise. ‘Well done, faithful servant." e Nebraska, lowa and Dakota Pensions.

The plan 18 to carry a roll of rubber tubing 1u the pocket, and, when tired of this life's weary grind, to attach it to the first convenient gas fixture, He then touches a button and the gas com- pany does the rest.

How a Merohantable Probibi Bartered Its Soul. fheet fon ITS CROCODILE TEARS FOR THAYER. The Independents Are Expected to Give the Concern a Cold, Wide Berth-A Few Hard Facts, Lixcory, Neb. Bee.1—F been afflic has ostensib , Jan. 21.—[Special to Tne number of years this city has 1with a blackmailing sbeet that, beon republican and more re- cently rampant prohibition. It is an open secret here that the coucern has been simply in tho hands of a brace of road agents who hold up everybody who wiil atlow himselfto bo bled. Decent people hold the concern in utmost contempt, and they fully justify the course of Tur Bek in ignor- ing its dirty warfare and paying no attention to the slimy sneaks and hypocrites who are constantly keeping up their mud slinging, Everybody here knows these rogues and their methods, They are bankrupt in morals and bankrupt in pocket. While t or member of the firm is notoriously a fre- quenter of saloons aud gambling houses, the columns of the blackguard sheet have been pulverizing the rum power, as old Nasby would say. But I am digressing. Just now these scoundrels are shedding crocodile tears over General Thayer, whom they have vil- lified, ~ abused ' and slandered most shamefully ~year in and year out. It may not be generally known, but [ happen to be on to a little sto Two years ago last summer, after Governor Thayerhad been enominated for a second term, the editors of this spurious republican paper went up to Omaha after McShane hoodle, How much they got for betrayig their party and sclling out Thayer is only surmised. ~ Common rumor has it that the price asked was $1,500, and the amount. prid was §1,000. Suffice it to say that the traitors got their price, and carried out their bargain by waging the most dis- reputablo war on Thayer through the bal- ance of the campaign, And nobody detests the outtit more heartily than Thayer, Under pretense of great devotion to anti- monopoly principles, the evening Road Agent kept up a redhot war against Auditor Ben- ton, but last fall the senior proprietor turned up defaulter to the Knights of Pythias for tunds in his possession, And it is currently reported that &t this stage Tom Ben- ton was induced to adv enough money to the deficiency and the good deacon d to let Tom Benton severely alone hercafter. That may explain the entire ab- sence of all reference to Benton in our Even- ing Road Agent. The intense sympathy of the concern for theinterests of the independents is on a par with its zeal for the cause of prohi- bition £ 8 . The testimony in the contest shows that £1,500 was the price asked for op- posing prohibition and the professional black- mailers only flopped when their tender was refused. How much they got from the pro- hibs I can't guess, but everybody here knows that their support was paid for, The paper would have gone to the wall after the clection if it had not been for the plunder to be gotten out of the contest and the divy with theshysters who have worked up the case. Ihope the independents will have sense enough to steer clear of this gang and give them a wide berth. LooKING BACKWARD, A LITTLE PANIC, It is Caused by Fire in a Ohicago Office Building CuitcaGo, Jan. 21.—[Special Telogram to T Bek.|—What threatened to be a serious fire broke out shortly before noon today in the Potyin building on Washington street, opposite the city hall. The building 1s occu- vied priucipally by lawyers and real estate men for offices, The basement 18 used s & restaurant. An overheated stove in the dry- ing room, adjoining the kitchen, caused a board partition to ignite and the flames shot up through the elevator shaft with alarming rapidity. The occupants of the offices in the building were apprised of their danger by the smoke that entered through the crevices in their doors. They rushed to the hallways only to be coufronted by huge ~ volumes of stifling smoke which made retreat impossibie. There are o fire escapes on the building and the people shut up in their offices became frantic with fright. Visions of a horrible holocaust came to the minds of the helpless lawyers and terrifiad typewriter girls as they beheld the clouds of smoke accumulating about the win- dows of the ofices i which~ they were im- prisoned. The windows were rmsed and tho now thoroughly frightened men and women climbed ont on the window ledges to escape being smothered by the smoke, wHich now filled the rooms of the building, The fire de- partment arrived and ladders were raised to where the terrified people were clinging with a deathlike grip by the ledges. One by one they were rescued from their perilous “posi- t10ns until they were all landed safely on the ground. The pecunia s was smail. Sl A WIFE BEAT+R'S ESCAPE.

Cuicago, Jan, 21.—[Special Teiegram to Tnr Bee|—Henry Miller narrowly escaped being lynched in a court room in the village of Lombard Monday evening.

Justice Fischer came up and finally persuaded Miller to go with theofficer. He was taken to the office of the justice, followed by the crowd. Once there, the rage of the people became so intense that ropes wero secured and a_desperate effort was made to hang Miller in tho court room.

On the road a second ineffectual attempt was made to se- cure and hang the wife-beater. Muscular Christianity. Porrsmourn, O., Jan. 21.—Rev. C. 0.
