It is said that tro guards at’the state house, the employes of state institutions and clerks in the various departments at thestate house have nearly all boen asked to contribute their ure nies for one or more 0 lots his ~ Texas land is said to havo cost the railroad syndicate only $2.50 an acre and the sales made to ien here averaged $120 an asre, In tho special train that loft here with “the king and his court” there were from twenty to thirty hen who had purchased lots and were going down to see whother the laud was still thore. The story 18 drifting around the kotel corridors heére that the state officers who have beon named as having a business connection with the land ndicato have in veality no propriotary interest in it what ever, but are acting as figuroheads for a railroad corporation which owns the land. No one has anything to say derocatory of the land, whicli is understood to bs of av erace fair value, but thero is a kick coming from those who wero given to understand that iv would be to thoir interest to buy a Ixsey. The report written in Omaha that Frank R. Morrissoy would be appointed private secretary to Governor Boyd was received hero with dissatisfaction. Dewocrats and republicans who are conversaut with Morris- sey’s legislative record are surprised and chiagrized to think that the governor would make such an appointment. The report lacks confirmation, but a democrat who ex- pressed himself decidedly opposed to the appointment says tonight that there are sowme grounds for the report It is said that World's Fair Commissioner Greer is soon to retire from the board to give way to an_appointec of Boyd's.

Kaxsas Crry, Mo., Feb, 9. —Ex-Governor Thaver of Nobraska who abdicated yesterday in favor of Governor Boyd at the request of the United States suprome court, pussed through this city this morning, surrounded by most of the mombers of his detuuct court, rotreating toward the gulf. Upon the side of his car was a flaring banner reading, in letters a foot high: ‘‘Governor Thayer and party enrouto for La Porte, Texas.””” There was no ex before the governor and it was evident that the sign was a relic of yester- day morning. La Porte, Tex., is a town only forty days old. Itisone of tho numorous places along the Texas const that is being boomed us a probable future great seaport. The special cars bearing the misleading pign and the Thayer party came in over tho Burlington at 8 o'clock and left over the Santa Fe at 9 o'clock. Ex vernor Ibayer was asked the somewhat unusual question, had a man refused to shake hands with him, The man referred to was Governor Boyd The ex-goveruor replied: What Thay “W @ Governor Boyd entered my office yester@ay afternoon I approached him and extended my hand.

There was nothing personal in it as far as] was concerned, and I om suro the people of Nebraska will see nothing to commend 1 his actions, I do ot think that the fight has hurt the republican party in the state at least. 1 has not hurt it, but'if Boyd carries out his plan as ho is understood to have formed them, that will be a bad thing for the republican party of Nebraska.

Judge Higgins arnved from Columbus late last night aud this morning assumed bis duties as Governor Boyd's private secretary. 1t is not likely, however, that he will long ocoupy the position, as his law practico is said to be worth more than the salury at- tached to the private secretaryship, He was obliged to roturn to Columbus this avening on logal business, His successor wil) proba- bly bo Frank R.

Thus it is that General Vifquain, Louis Heimrod, Philip Andres and others have already returaoed to their desks and are already at work, Mr. Mallon of r'remont arrived last evening and ussumed his duties as war den of the state penitentiary this morning.

A change is also looked for in the grain inspection and weigh ing departments at Omahs, The personnel of the govarnor's staff will undorgo but two changes, and these will be announced within aday or so, Extra Session Talk. Governor Bovd was asked by Tue Ber rap- rescutative today in regard to the probability of an extra session of the legislature. He re plied that ho had not as yet given the matter the slightest consideration. Before taking any steps he will consult with promiuent mombers of his party in differont parts of the state as to the necessity of an extra ses sion.

He stated that his compauy would complete the pictures within a few weoks, when they would be forwarded to the owners. A short time afterward the St. Paul end of the swindling concern would send cataiogues of high-priced frames to the persous order ing the partraits, with the request that they select i frame,. varying in price from 5 to &, whioh they could” pay for on receipt of portrait. Noone, of course. would ovder a frane at the high price churged, and after that notning further would be heard from the swindlers. The agent is now said to be operating in Nebraska.

Loomis, one of the engiueers in chargo of the work, said today: ‘“Instead of trying to foment trouble the enginecy corps has always been a staunch friend of the company in its various difiicuitios since work upon_its line commeuced. Since last June but a little over one month's pay has boenvgivon any member of the corps, and at prosent there is duo the engincer corps, §13,230; the bridge con- tractors, £22,000; due tho merchants of Rapid City, £.500, and to the subcontractors—well, they nave ot received onc-fourth the sum due them. So you s from this, that instead of Mr. Coad having a griovance ' against the cugineer corps it is just tho other way, and thut thoy have taken action agaiust the road, not for any spite they may hold against Mr. Cond or any of his employes, but morely to protect their own intsrasts, and the facts they claim will bear tbem out when they stato that they have Ueen nmong ths truest and best friends of the road. ne's Divorce Suit.

C, Feb, 0.—The house today entered actively upon the loglslatiye work of the session, and in the brief space of tive hours more practical busimess . transacted than in any provious day of the congress. The president's message, with its various suggestions and recommendations legislation was referred ts the vurious ap- propriate committees without a single con- testover the questions of jurisdiction, and materiul progress was made in the considera- tion of the military academy appropriation bill. Mr. Mutchler's resolution directing inquiry a8 to the failure of the Keystone and Soring Garden banks of Philadelphia and the Mav- erick National bank of Boston was adopted. A resolution was introduced directing the committee on judiciary to iuguire into the right of the secrotary of the treasury to em- ploy $100,000,000 of the gold reserve for cur- rent expenditures. Refecrad. Mr. Hatel's bill, piacing the secretary of agriculture o 1ine of presidential succession alter the secretary of the interior, was passed, The house then went into committee of the whole on the military academp aporopsiation bill. It appropriates $105,4i9, which 1s larger than last year's appropriation, but $114,072 less than the average amount of the appropriations for the past three years. Mr. Dockery of Missouri inquired whether the appropriation for the incrensed gas plant had been included in the estimates of the war department. Mua. Wheeler replied that though it had not been included in the estimates, because at the time the estimates were sent tho depart- ment v/as doubtful whether the plant should bo onlarged or an electric hght substituted, since that time the seorctary of war had usked that the appropriation be made, and in his letter to the committee e had referred to the inefliciency of the preseut plaut. In con- clusion, Mr. Whneeler soid that the fcople de- mauded economy, but that they did not de- mand and would not. tolerate ~cheese paring in appropriations for the support of the great military academy. Eforts t Mr. Wheeler of Alabama briefly expluined the bill's provisions, bearing testimony at the same time to the cfforts of the com- mittec on military affairs to reduce the ap. propriations as far as it was consistent with the we!l being of the academv. The vill, he aid, apprepriated $405,795. which was £38,52 less than the estimates of tho depart- mont. While it carried a larger appropria- tion than the bill of last year, it was $114,- 217 less than the average amonnt of appros priations for the weademy for the past three years. The reasou for the increaso over tho expenditures of the present fiscal vear was the necessity for certain permanent improve- ments, incliding the enlargement of the gas plant, improving the sewage of the post and furnishing the new gymnasium. The present gas plant was put in thirty-live years ago and, owing to tho deterforation of ‘the pipes, was o menace to the health of the cadets. Extravagant Democrats, Mr. Dockery of Missouri said that every man on the démocratic side jomned in a de- nunciation of the appropriations mads by the billion dollar congress. He did not behove thero was a democrat on the floor who on- dorsed tho mighty aggregate of appropria- tions of the last congress. And yet tho first appropriation bill to come from the demo- crats carricd £4,000 moro than tho similar oill caused by the 'Fifty-first congress. The question with the domocrats was, whether they wtended to keep their pleage of econ- omy or approve this bill, which added #34,000 to the burdens of the taxpayers of the country. Ho was opposed to the increasel appropriations, not only bocause they woro uot ' estimated for by the secrotary. the treasury, but be- causo the condition of tho treasury did not justify them. On the first of the calendar yvear the expenditures of the gov ernment had exceeded the revenucs more than £200,000. He procoeded to critizise the appropriations made by the last congress, and onded with an appeal to the democrats, who had been olected on tue platform of re- form, to strike from the pending bill every provision which was not absolutely essential 10 the support of thoe academy. Confronted by a Deficioncy. Mr. Blount of Georgia said this houso had come into power with a deficiency confront ing it, and with the declaration of the treas- ury that thero should be no more contribu- tions to the sinking fund. Mr. Sayer of Texas opposed many of the provisions of the bill as being extravagunt Mr. Dingley of Maine, defended tho ap- ropriations made by the last congress, characterizing the charges of extravagance as mere clap-trap. Tho Fiftieth congress had incrensod tho expenditures mado by the Forty-ninth congress just as much as the Fifty-first congross had incroased the ordin- ary oxpenditures of its predecessor, The incroase in appropriations was only com- mensurate with the growth of the countr; he depisted glowing torms, and s preor- ation in which he culogized the heroes who had graduated from West Point, was warmly applauded. The committee then rose and the house ad- journed.

Never in tho history of Colorado was there & more re- splendent scene than that witnessed by the tromendous crowd at the Broadway theater, The magnilicent interior of the theater was one dazzling vista of electric lights and wav- ing palm loaves. From the balconies the view of the beautifully appointed tables was one to be remembored.
