LINCOLN'S STREET RALLWAYS Rome Prospects of Lively Extensions by Two Rival Companies SEPARATE LINES TO BE MWAINTAINED resent Status of the vorsy t Bronght Collwot Bl —~ vol Andres’ Report=Lincoln News, Frinting Contros to the missioner Lase Neb,, Nov, 2 Ber.| - There is a prospact stroet railway extension stroets of Lincoln in the The prospe en tho Home and systems, The Home time Special to Tus for somo lively in the principal immediate future. st arises from a disagreoment be Lincoln Street railway ympany has for some beon endeavoring to consummate an avrangoment with the Lincoln company wheraby the former would bo allowed to run its cars over several linos already in opera- tion by the latter comp The effort ha proven a failure and tho comy proposes to some Ing on its own account.

Home build- now do The Printing Controversy. At a risk of wearying the reading publio by coustant allusions to the controversy be- tween the State Journal company of Lincoln aud Governor Bovd in regard to sundry items of printing charzed up to tho oftice of the chiel executive, it may be statod that tho printed statements in regard to tho mat- tor have so far been wrong. The printing was ordered by Governor Boyd daring his fraguentary admigistration beforo he was onsted oy the decision of the supreins cour Governor Thaver afterwards deciined to Jssuo a the bill, believing hat Governor Boyd had no authiority to ordor it. After Governor Boyd haa been r instated by the decision of the United States supreme court tho Journal compauy again presented the bill, Tho fund from which the ill should have been paid had boen ex- hausted ana the governor samd so. The Journal brings the suitin an endeavor to compel the governor to pay it outof another fund. The controversy is over the lalter fact. The statement that the printing wus ogdered by Governor Thayer, and that Gov- ernor Boyd refuses to puy it on that acconnt, 18 purely a figment of an imoginative re- portorial intellect, Commissioner Andres’ Report, The biennial report of the chief of the burean of industrial statistics was com- pleted this afternoon. and will go to tho governor Monday.

For thu first time in the istory of tho state an attompt has been made to show the amount, of farm products wa manufactured articlos shipped from tho averal counties and the report is not only ery completo but acourate.
