S——— - T0 PROMOTE - IRRIGATION Arrangements Mado to Secure an Appropri- ation for That Parpose. WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE EXPENDED Nobraska and Adjacent States Wil o Ben- efited by the Experin During the Civil War re- ed—Washington Gossip, nt—Cinims for Serv A Wasmixarox Bureav or tir Bee, ) B13 FountreNtn S WasniNaros, D. C., April 26 teprosentative Pickier of South Dakota today had a conference with Chairman Hol- man of the appropriations committes relative to the amendment in tho sundry civil bill which would give somothing for artesian trrigation investigations, Holman promised that in the paragraph of (the bill which ap propriates §240,000 for the topographical sur vey undor the weological survey he would accept an amendment providing that $00,000 of that amount be expended between the ninoty-seventh meridian and the crest of tho Rocky mountains for investiga tion of subterranean waters and ‘he best methods of ireigation for that section of country. This is quite a concession. Hol man does not care whether the money comes out of the appropriation already provided for in tho bill so that this country gets it. Here- tofore the investigatious of tne geological survey for irrigation purposes was carried on west of the 100th meridian and that was of no advantage to tho wostern ball of what is kuown as the sub huwid country. Major Pickler says that in tbe agricultural appropriation bill, as nans boen anticipated in Tui Bre specials, provision will also be made for a sum to in vestigato the artesinn weils in westeru states wherc othor irrigation is impracticabie. Itis oxpected that thero will be another fight about the geolovical survey by thoso who desiro that all monoy looking toward ir- rigation shall bo exponded under the direc tion of the Agricultural departmont. But representatives of the country where tho money is to be expended will try and smooth over evervthing, as they will count them solvos exceodingly fortunato to got any money out of the present congress for this purpose. ReJeeting War Claims. Notwithstanding tho fact that tho late war has been closed twenty-soven years, several persons have applied to this congress for re waras for services in that conflict. Tho sen ate committeo on military affairs, in report- ing advorsely today through Senator Man- derson upon tho bill proposing to give ser geant Thomas O, Harterof company 1, First Ingitua cavalry, §10,000 and a gold medal for scout and spy services undor General Franz Siegel, says: **Your committee has roached the conclusion that Harter should have mado application at tho timo to those who had personal kuowledge of all the facts and not left it to congress to voto a lump sum & quar- ter of u contury or more after the war had ended.

A petition has beon recoived by Senator Mandersou from 800 citizens of Sheridan and Cherry counties asking congress to appro- priste monoy to suppross a discase which a3 broken out tkero and svpposed o be mal du coit. Accompanying the petition is a lettor from tho sheriff of Shoridau county which indicates that the disease is especially viruleat within o radius of twenty or twenty-fivo miles avout Gordon.

Becauso tho discase has spresd over and into the Sioux reservation tho petitioners ask that the secretury of agricuiture take cognizauce of tho matter. Senator Manderson will en- deavor 1o prevail upon the authorities to de- tail a special agent to do what appears to_bo necessary in the premises, tho theory being that even if the stato authorities grappled with the disease within tho confines of the stato it would yet romain to be stamped out at tho reservation. Miscellancous, Senator Paddock today presented 1n the senato & petition from the members of Eureka allisnce No. 1,639 of Indianola, Nob., officially signed, urging that the genernl auti-option bills now before congress bo passed without delay. Tho Tressury department has uotified Seuutor Paddock that it accepts the account 1ug of the Interior department of the amount due Nebraska on account of the sale of pub- lic lands in the stato and that the drart will be issued soon.

Commissionors Practic the Nebraska Central Proposition, It is announced semi-oficially that the members of the Board of County Commis- sioners have accepted the proposition of the Nebraska Central Raiway company, aud tuat when tho session is held next Friday morning a vesolution to submit the question of voting §500,000 of county honds to aid in the construction of the bridge at the foot of Cass street will be adopted. Everything hav- ing been agreed to, this session will be merely for the purpose of puiting the matter in legal form. Tuesday's meetine was a very satisfac- tory one fo tho railroad officials, as well as to the county commissioners. It \was proposed to have the committee on the arbitrution of differonces that might arise consist of on» momber of tne oard of County Commis- sionors, one momber of the city council end one of the district judges. The railway ofi- cials objected to such a combination, arguing that the member of the Board of County Commissioners and the member of the city council would bn interested parties. Such being the case it wou!d have a tendency to defeat the sale of the compuny’s bonds, as would-be purclasers would have an idea that the road was tied hand and foot. The ioners looked at the matter in the ght after 1t was thoroughly explained. Then an amendment was adopted, by which the board of arbitration is to consist of three members and be composed of three of the judges of the district court. The proposition to incorporate in the con- tract a clause that the railway company could not sell any portion of its rond without the consent of the Board of County Commission- ers was defeated. 1y Agree to Submit Those Federal Indictments. Advices from Topoka are to the effect that the federal grand jury has found indictments against Mellon, late traflic manager of the Union Pacific, J. A. Munroe, general freight agent; B. Campbell and J. G. Wood- worth, assistants at Portland, and W. S, Barr, agent at Salina, Kan, They aro charged with violating' the interstate com- merco uct. Mr. Munvoo when interviewed yesterday said he had no moredefinite 1nformation than swas published in tho morning pavers. His un- derstanding, however, is that the charges grow out of tho fight between the interior jobbers and thoso on thoriver. It began with tho sugar rate. Tho railroads had been charging iterior points tho rate trom Cal fornia to tho Missouri river plus the local1ate back to the iansas point of deatination. The Kansas railroad commission threatened the railronds with punishment aud the river jobbers got injuuctions rostraining certain railroads and the commission from changing the status of affairs. Tho 1o- terior jobbors also got ont an injunction re- straining other lines from advancing rates that had been reduced under threats of the commission. Tho case now 1s very badly wixed up. Thero aro said to bo seven counts against the officials, but the specific charges aro not known outside the jury, which was ot o re- turn its bills until this evening, Union itie € ges. The annual meating of the stocknolders of tho Union Pacific railway will bo held in Boston at 10 o'clock this morning, fand its results will determine the future mavage- ment of the road. At headquarters in this city it is conceded that Gould and Suge aro the under dogs in the contest and that thore will be a change. I is accepted as dotor- mined that Captain R. S. Hayes will bo choson prosidect and that General Manager Clark has decided to remain with the Mis souri Pacitic. The latter, if report be truo, has even gone so far as to tender Lis resigaation in order to relicve the aew bourd of directors from embarrassment, ‘This has started speculation as to his suc- ceasor, and naturally rumor fixes upou As. sistant Geaeral Manager Edward Dickenson as the fittest man for the place. 1t is also belioved in railway circles that General Freight Ageat Monroe will ve mado trafiic manager and that the present operating force will be retained. hs directors, who will be elected at the 10 o'clock metting, will probably organizo to- morrow, and Presideat Iimball of the Union Depot company thinks thoy will give the proposed depot compromise a spoedy consid- eration.

Lixcory, Neb., April 26.—|Special to Tne Bee.] —State Superintendent of Public Tn- struction Goudy has issued a call for o state couvention of the.eounty superintendents to mect at s office in the state capitol on May 188t 8:3) p. m. for a conference on tho following topics: (1) The Columbian Exposition, (2) The Department of Public Instruction.

Other matters of interest and importance will prob- ably come up for discussion and county superintendents are cordially invited to write to Superintendent Goudy and sugigost other topics for consideration. With refer- once to the important matter of expense, the call for the convention says: *Ono difficulty 1 tho way of attendanco at such a meeting as this is the expenso_of tho wip. 1 believe it is customary for tho county o pay tho expenses of its officers when thoy are called away from the county upon public business in connection with their ofices. You aro county officials; the business that calls you to this meeting is pub- lic business. Other county ofticers have in charge matters involving doliars and cents; you have tho oversight of all that makes dollars and cents valuable—the education of tho children, I feel sure that your county boards will not refuse to ailow your bills for necessary expenses incurred by attending this meeting if tho matter is properly called to their notice. « eful to Governor Boyd, Captain A, D. Yocum of Hastings has written the following letter to Governor Boyd acknowledging the receipt of the par- don recently 1ssued by his excellen “His Excellency, James E, Boyd, Gov- ernor, Lincoln, Nob.: Dear Sir: During fifty years of lifo experionce, much of which has been active and in close relation with the real rather than with the imaginary affairs of life, I have been brought face to face with events emanating from the souls of men, rather than from sinister and pootic sources.

There will be fun at the court houso when County Commissioner Paddock returns from New York, whore he went a few days ago to attend a meeung of the board of directors of the Union Pacific railway. Just what this fun will be and what it will consist of no ono around the building will venture an opiaton, though several parties who ara on the inside do not hesitate to remark that some of Mr. Paddock’s co-workers have broken faith aud gone back on him in his efforts to appoint nouo but democrats to county positions. They aiso say that there was an implied understanding that no appointments would be made ouring Mr. Paudock’s absence. Mcunday when the board re-elected Mike Leahy to tho position of superintendert of tho court house the knowing ones state that tho plodges wore broken aud that that act will mean war, with Mr. Paddock the attack- ing party. Leahy was not Paddock’s man, simply be- cause Leahy was not a_democrat, but he suited Van Camp and ‘Trmme, so with the aid of Berlin ho got what he went after. Mr. Paddock had a man picked out who was a dyed-in-the-wool Jacksonian, a Mr. Potter of South Omaha. The othér aemocratic mem- bers of the board statethat Paddock favored Potter for political purposes only. He thought that by naming Potter he could capture the South Omahna voto for his ro- eloction, but as the two democratic members had no particular interest in Mr. Paddock’s political futuro they councluded to nip bis aspirations in the bud. 1f Paddouk returns befere the next meet- ing of the board all he can do will be to roar. Ho will be powerless, as he was not present to vote upon the proposition. As Berlin, Van Camp and Timme voted for the appointment, they declare that they will not move to re- consider. Mr. Stenberg voted in tho nega- tive and of course cannot move a_reconsider- ation of the vote. This then will leave Mr. Paddock to fight his battles alone. e SOUTH OMALA. cles.
