WORK OF THE FORENOON. Jones opened the ball this morning by ling with the chief clerk a petition from 100 residents of his county (Richardson) ask- Ing that immediate relief be extended to destitute .people in the drouth stricken dis- Rricts of Nebraska. Referred to the relict committee, : The committee on appointments reported, haming another lot of employes nceded by the house. Adopted Roddy presented a petition relating to the Interesis of the annual county fair in his distriet. The committee on relief reported progress and recommended that all other business ®lve way (o such relief measures as may from time to time be laid before the house, Suter offered a resolution that no action e taken on bills until the introducer of the Dill has been notified that such action is pending. Chapman moved that 1,000 coples of the messages of ex-Governor Crounse and Gov- ernor Holcomb be printed in German, Bwedish and Bohemian for distribution in the the house. Durns of Lancaster offered an gmendment to include the Irish, and the Tesolution of the gentleman from - Saline was quictly laughed out of the house. Speaker Richards announced the order of business, the introduction and reading of Dills, and called Brady of Buffalo to the chair. - The report Of the committee on house om- ployes found that in order to properly con- duct tho business of the house the following -Would He necessaty, comprising sixty-eight fmiployes: One Bhief clerk, three assistant ~elerks, ten enroliing and engrossing clerks, elght committee ¢lerks, one sergeant-at-arms, one assistant, two door keepers, three cus. todians, one "clerk to speaker, four proof readers And dopy holders, one messenger, two engihdrs and firemen, one postmaster, three watchmen, one mail carrier, one time- keeper, ‘two t¥pewriters, eight janitors, one chaplain, cleven pages, and .two bill clerks, The committee further recommended that the house might, by resolution, increase the number of employes if found ' necessary to do so. none of them, however, to be em- ployed until their services are necessary. Following the reading of ‘bills a recess was taken until 2 o'clock p. m. WILL HAVE NO FREE PAPERS. After the announcement of committees in the afternoon .Allan introduced a resolution autherizing the secretary of state to supply members with six daily newspapers, or their equivalent In weeklies, together iwith 19 cents in stamps per diem to each member. The resoluti-n was opposed by Howard, who sald that further on in the session he should Introduce a_bill making the pay of each member $1,000 a term, Burns of Lancaster combated the views of Howard and suggested that he would better take his ten 2-cent stampe per day than trust to a bill Increasing his salary to $1,000. Haller also opposed the resolution and said that six o'ples of a dally paper in a district would bo but a drop in the bucket so far as purveying information to the people. Rhodes claimed that the resolution was not constifutional, and quoted to sustain his polnt. The speaker ruled him out of order, und, with consent of the house, Howard was permitted to spenk again on the resolu- ion. Cocley moved that the resolution be tabled. “The ayes and nayy were demanded. When the name of Chapman was called ho re- quested to be excused, because, as he stated, he was a publisher <f a weekly at Crete. The point ¢f o:der was made that his re- quest should have been made prior to the oall and sustatned by the spoaker. Chapman voted no. The motion to table the resolution was carried by a vote of 50 t- 44, Obapman called up his resolution to print tho governor's messago in a_varlety of languages, and it was voted down aimost unanimously. Allan offered a resolution to furnish the house with ten 2-cent stamps and wrappers. A motion to lay on the table was lost. This was amended to read five 1-cent stamps and carried, Chapman offered a resolution the names of the employes of ‘the house, and the relationship It any, to members of this heuse, and tha the 1ist be attached to the desk of the chier «clerk for public perusal. The ayes and nays were called for. Burch said that there were reports of mepotism being cireulated in the lobbies and such reports were doing an Injury fto the members, He was in fayor of the utmost publicity of such action, and said that no member should lie under the imputation of having wrongfully acted in the matter, Ho supported the resolution. Burns of Lancaster said that he was in “favor of employing mauy more people than Wwere now engaged for the purp se of aid- ing destitute people. Already, he said, the employes wero less by fifty than what they were six years ago; less by fifty than four years ago, and less by fiteen than they wero two years ago. ’ Munger called for the business and the speaker ruled with him and knocked out a number of points cf order ratsed to keep the resolution on the carpet. ‘The speaker announced the regular order bills on second reading. calling for regular order of FIXING TO PAY BOARD, During the progress of passing bills to second reading the speaker called attention to house roll No. 71, appropriating $85,000 or such of it as may be necetsary for th payment of members and employes, He sald that if the house so0 desired the bill could & to the engrossing clerks and be im- mediately printed and passed, thus enabling such as needed their money 40 pay board bills 1o secure it. The house voted unanimously for such action. Chapman renewed his motion calling for a st of employes of the hiuse and their re- {ationship to members, and called for the ayes and nays, The resolution was adopted, only even votes being against It. Chapman then moved that the work be done t:morrow and 1ald on the clerk's desk. A motion to table was lost and the original motion carried A communication from the secretary of Was re: fo the effect that the old chairs In use in 1893 were stored in the bill ro m In the basement of the capltol building.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 9.—(Special.)—In the senate this morning, after the presentation of a few petitions asking for immediate relfef for the drouth sufferers, Senator Pope pre- cipitated a little discussion by making the usual moticn that the secretary of state be requested to furnish each member of the sen- ate, the lieutenant governor and the secre- tary of the senate with ten 1-cent stamps and twenty 2-cent stamps each day during the session. McKesson amended by making the number ten ent stamps and ten l-cent wrappers, A great deal was sald about economy by McKesson, Pope, Wright and Teftt, aud “after two roll calls McKesson's amendment was adopted. The motion glyes each member the opportunity of mailing 600 letters during the session at the state's cx- pense. Later Caldwell moved that each member be permitted to subscribe for ten daily news- papers or their equivalent in weeklies, He withdrew the motion before a vote was taken, The practice of supplying the members with reading matter will probably be continued, but the number will dobtless be limited to five dallies per day. Campbell registered a protest against the removal of Captain Masterman from his old place as custodian of the basement by offer- m;\ the following: Whereas, In the m akeup of the list of sen- employes we find that the name of Masterman, a worthy and honorably old” solider, has been droppeil pay roll as an under custodian and a civilian’ placed in his stead; therofore, e it Resloved, That a reconsideration appointment be had and that our president I8 requested to restore Mastermah (o his old place of service unless serious charges are sustained against him, The resolution went over upon objection belng mado to its immediate consideration by McKesson BILLS ON FIRST READING.

The first two bills were handed to the committee this after- | noon, and one of them tells a story of velvet carpets and leather upholstering for cloak and committee rooms that will make the average taxpayer's hair stand up when he reads of the luxuriousness of the Nebraska legislature. A glance at the itemized bills will furnish food for comment, Here is the first bill, pre- sented for carpets, etc., by the Greutler & Joers Furniture and Carpet company of Lin- coln. The bill is for furnishings for the house wng of the capitol, the supplies being ordered by- ex-Secretary of State John C.

The bill for the furnishings supplied for the senate wing has not yet come in. Neither has the bill for cleaning, painting and decor- ating the interlor of the capitol. The State Journal's bill for the tons of supplies ordered has not yet made its appearance. Here IS an- other bill, however, in itemized form, sub- mitted by Ross L. Hammond of the Fremont Tribune: 250 reports of house to senate . 250 reports from committee on b P 20 reports from joint committees on 2100 3100 .$ 4.0 4.50 bills ., 2 house To| 100 desk cards . 100 coat room cards 20 reports from Wwhole ......... ¥ 1,000 committes reports 250 roll calls ....... 250 condensed rolls ... 500 orders on secreta 250 orders for newspapel L000 salary vouchers 1,000 vouchers, incidentai . 6,500 No. 10 envelopes i 500 note heads for each member 2 Webster's unabridged dictionari 8 dozen letter files Total None of the supplies furnished as per the two itemized bills were orderéd by the legis- lature. There was no ‘constitutional warrant for thelr purchase. No competition was'/per- mitted, for the secretary of state made his purchases as an individual. - That ‘a. strong pressure will be brought upon the: claling committee to allow these immense and unau- thorized bills Is not to be doubted, but there is a strong fecling that the time has come for the legislature to sternly rebuke expenditures made without authority of law. Destitution at the Industrial School. LINCOLN, Jan. 9.—(Special)—In his De- cember report of the workings of the State Industrial School for Boys at Kearney, Su- perintendent Mallalieu states that during the year 1894 there were received from the courts and returned from parole, furlough, pardoned or discharged, 103 boys. During the same time 111 boys were paroled, There were present at the beginning of the year 226 boys and at the close 218 boys. The capacity of the school is about 200. The highest en- rollment during the year was 235 and the average attendance 220, There was but one death in.the institution during the year. The superintendent then goes on to say: In making my estimates for the ensuing two years, T was obliged to ask for a_de- ficiency fund, This was due to the fact that the farm produets, which have entered so largely into our living in the past, amounted to but very little during the past'two years. On July 8 184, we had a hail storm which destroyed the entire crop on the farm and also that on some rented land (which was under irrigation), entailing a loss of about $12,000. We immediately replanted as much as we could, but the dry weather and the fallure to get an adequate Supply of water caused our experiment to result with very little good to the school. Had we got the crops this year our institution. would have come through the blennial period without deficiency. We would have had ample veg- etables for a population of 210, al=o feed for the stock, and could have aisposed of a som. plus to make up the shortness of several funds. As it is, we are obliged to purchase everything for the entire school, including feed and hay for stock, and to kéep this up until the next yield from the farm. Bids for the State Falr Openea, LINCOLN, Jan. 9.—(Special Telegram.)— The bids for the relocation of the state fair were opened at the Hotel Lincoln tonight. Bids were received from Omaba, Lincoln and Grand Island, Al bids were practically the same, Omaha offering somewhat larger fa- cilities than Were exacted by the board. All bids are made to conform to the specifica- tlon adopted by the board providing for per- manent bulldings, ete. Lincoln offers her present state falr grounds with the ad- ditional facilities In the way of buildings required by the board. The committee, con- sisting of President Henry, Secretary Furnas, Dinsmore of Sutton, Stewart of Blair, Barker of Silver Creek, Bassett of Gibbon and Hay- ward of Nebraska City, will start on a tour of inspection tomorrow, golng to Omaha on the traln which leaves Lincoln at 8 o'clock In the morning. Hayden Bros'. ad. is on page 6. — Des Moines' Suloon Cases Consolldated. DES MOINES, Jan. 9.—(Special 'Tele- gram.)—A stipulation was entered into in the district court before Judga Spurrier this morning consolidating the thirty or forty liguor injunctions suits. The defendants in agree to' make the fissues the same as in the Pressman, case now pending on trial, the question being only as to the eficiency of the petition filed under the mulct law, on condition that they be allowed to appeal from the rulings of the court in sustaining | the demurrer of the prosecution, putting the burden of proof on the defense, the stipulation, If the case goes against the saloon keepers, Pressman’s saloon will be the only one that can be closed until the supreme court passes on the rulings of the district court. s —— Escaped Prisoner Captured, ST.

TOPEKA, Jan. 9.—As the Kansas legisla- ture must meet on the second Tuesday in January and tho governor be inaugurated on the second Monday it so happens this year that Governor Lewelling's administration does not end until nearly a week after the legisla- ture convenes, because the second Tuesday of January this year comes before the second Monday. This session will thus have a mes- sage from the present governor and one from the governor to be Inaugurated next week. Governor Lewelling has taken advantage of this fact to present a very long document amounting to about 15,000 words, Governor Lewelling starts out by saying he shall speak as the governor of Kansas to the chosen representatives. “Devotion to the whole people of Kansas, not regard for party should control us here, however widely we may differ in our allegiance to party, where party allegiance may honorably control.” He recails the financlal affairs and states that about $700,000 in bonds, issued mainly for construction of public institutions, will mature during the next four years, leaving but $100,000 state bonds then outstanding. Of the total amount the state institutions showed a large proportion. In view of the necessity of making preparations for the payment of such an amount of indebtedness within so short a time, and in view of the prevailing business depression, no appropriation should bo made at this session for which a great immediate necessity does not exist, Whatever can wait should be made to wait until we shall have paid off our state Indebtedness or until times shall have improved. Property should be assessed at its real value, says the governor, who gives in detail his plan for this result. He recommends legislation to restrict fee grabbing and mak- ing fixed salaries. He favors excluding for- eign insurance companies from the sfate. Continuing he says: “The people have no longer the isolated saloon to combat, but must grapple with a gigantic Whisky trust. Pub- lic sentiment in our principal cities nullifies the prohibitory law; business men believe the liquor traffic helps business; taxpayers be- lieve licenses from saloons would lighten taxation; landlords believe saloons would fill now_tenantless roome; fashionable clubs are established where liquor is dispensed. “It is not whisky but money—business— with which the war has now to be waged. Such a war can only be waged by taking all profit out of the liquor traffic; and this can ba done only by having the government be- come the sole dispenser of liquors, selling them at actual cost. Prohibitory methods may be the best methods for the present but recent experignee indicates that this law was not intended;to operate upon ail classes alike, Sheriffs andgcounty attorneys within whose jurisdiction ‘gre Ahe principal cities of the state seem tohave entirely forgotten the ex- istence of a ptoliipitory law until during the recent politigal gampaign and when they acted at all did 5o as a rule in hostility to the police instead of acting in harmony with them. Instedd of having the support and as- sistance of colfnty' officers in the enforcement of the laws,,the police of the principal cities have had to confend with their open hostility. “But the peohibitory amendment will re- main part of tur constitution until superseded by nationaliz#ion of the liquor traffic.

CHEYENNE, Jan. 9.—(Specfal Telegram.) —The Wyoming legislature met at noon, The nominations of officers made by the respective caucuses were ratified. Judge Jay L. Torrey was elected speaker of the house and George W. Hoyt president of the senate, The senate and house met in joint ses- sion this afterncon to listen to the reading of Governor Richards' message. The message is prefaced with a statement of the financial condition of the state. The revenues for the two years were stated to have been $544,492.01, including the balanco of $114,080.02 on hand at that time. The expenditures have been $396,156.85, leaving a balance in the treasury of $148,335.16, The bonded indebtedness of the state Is $320,000. The financial interests of the state, he declares, have been well man. aged, but the pressing times demand a re. duction In the rate of taxation. In 1893 the total assessed valuation of all kinds ot property subject to taxation was $32,356,801, and in 1894 §29,198,841, showing a decreasc in_value in one vear of over $3,000,000. The governor disposes of the subject of extravagance among state officers thus: “There is_no greater check upon extrava. gance than to make public all accounts re- lating to the adminisiration of state affairs. Our constitution provides for the appoint- ment of a state examiner, whose duty it is ‘to enforce a correct, and so far as prac- ticable, uniform system of bookkeeping by state and county officers, so as to afford a suitable check on thelr mutual actions, and insure a thorough supervision and safety of state and county funds.’ It is earnestly recommended that the law governing the state examiner be amended by conferring upon this officer guch additional powers as will render the office more useful and of- fective in its administration The escape jof “Kinch” McKinney, the notorlous Nebraska rustler, from the Wyo- ming penitenthiry, is made the subject ot discussion by -the “governor, concluding with the recommendation that a stone wall be erected aroungd, the institution.

The commissioner recommends that bur fish and game laws should be mafe, ty conform with those of adjoining states,. as by this means the de- tection and prevention of all violations of law would be materlfally aided. It is also reeommended '#hat a ‘braneh hatchery be established at o rear Sheridan, furnishing northern Wyoming the same advantages that are now given 1o the southern portion of the state,” The report of the insurance. commissioner shows that $6,000,000 of life insurance Is carried by Wyoming citizens, on which an- nual premiums of $133.000 are paid, while $8,000,000 is carried in assessment com- panies, The governor recammends that the laws governing insurance corporations be so amended as (o allow insurance companies to be organized in the state with a paid up capital of $100,000, and that foreign coms panies with a paid up capital of $200,000 be admitted to the state upon complylug with the other existing laws. It is fur- | ther recommended that it be made unlawful for insurance companies doing business in Wyoming to enter into any compact to govern or_control insurance rates.

An elaborate report of the re« sources of the territory was widely dise tributed, but no settled policy was adopted to encourage immigration, It f& recoms mended that an ex-officio board of state of+ ficers be designated to look after the general Interests of immigration, A moderate appropriation is recommended for the establishment of a State Historleal soclety for the preservation of all books, records and papers relating to the history of the state.

World's Falr Oficlals Expose a Pretender to an Award. CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 8.—One of the odd re- #ults of the World's fair is the claims now made to awards by some who were not even exhibitors. Officials of the exposition have not as yet taken final action in the matter, believing the quick wit of the people will de- tect the spurious claims. But to the case of a New York baking powder, that has been widely advertising an award, the attention of the chief of awards for agriculture, has been directed. He brands the claim of this pre- tender as false, declaring ‘‘Neither the records of this department, nor the official catalogue of the World’s Columbian exposi- tion, show that this New York company was an_exhibitor; consequently it could not re- celve an award at the World's fair.” Those who fairly won their honors at the fair seem disposed to treat this fraud as any other fraud should be treated. The Price Baking Powder company of Chicago, having recelved the highest award, say they are convinced their claims and those of all other holders of rightful honors, will be fully vin~ dicated by the public, HUSTLING ¥OR A JOB. Remarkable Rivalry of Undertakers lo o “One day last week," said a Camden, N. J., physiclan to the New York Tribune, “I was called to attend a baby who had some in- fantile complaint, The young parents were naturally alarmed about it and insisted upon me seeing it twice a day. The child was in no danger, and when I received a sum- mons to come a third time I was busy and postponed my visit for about an hour, When I arrived at the house I found an under- taker there, and the thought flashed over me that perhaps the child had grown worse and died during my absence. My fears proved groundless, however, and T found the little one doing nicely. ‘The undertaker lingered about for a while and then left. While bending over the child's erib I noticed a plece of pasteboard stuck in the bed clothing, and pulling it out, T found it was the undertaker's card. Just as I was leaving the house 1 met another man at the door whom I recog- nized as a rival funeral director. A couple of blocks down the stroet I met still another undertaker, who seemed in a hurry. ‘Hello!" I exclaimed, ‘where are you going? ‘Just up to Mr. Soandso's,' he replled; ‘I hear his baby isn't expected to live.' —— Yet Sho Had, Chicago Tribune: *I never supposed, Lobe- lia," sald Mr. MeSwat, stifly, when the argu- ment had become somewhat personal, *that you married me with the idea that I needed reforming."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—R. Ellery Ander- son, one of the government receivers of the Unlon Pacific railroad, made a statement be- fore the senate committee on Pacific rail- roads with special reference to the possible foreclosure of the first mortgage and its effect upon the government's interest. After hearing Mr. Anderson it was decided to take 1o action until after the honse shall act, but It 1s understood that the committee will then be prepared to deal with the question. The members of the committee are generally of the opinlon that the question s of sufclent urgency to Justify its immediate considera- tion, and there is little room for doubt that it would be taken up at once but for the feeling that any action of the senate com- mittee or the senate itself would be futile unless the house had already acted. It was stated that bills were already in course of praparation for the foreclosure of the first mortgage on the Union Pacific road because of default in the payment of Interest, and the opinion was freely expressed that unless €ome action should be taken at this session the United States would fail to secure any return for its investment in the road. Efforts will now be directed toward securing action by the house, and it is stated that the house committee on rules has virtually agreed to glve the Pacific railroads committeo a day in the house soon after the disposition of the currency bill.
