This makes elghty-thres employes so far alithorized by the senate, which number, of course, includes the elected officer: MADE IT AN EVEN HUNDRED The names of seventeen additional clerks | to sorve in the enrolling and engrossing | room were quietly handed to the sscretary of the senate this afternoon. This Is a much lirger number than has generally been ap pointed, and brings the number of se officers and employes up to an even 100, Thero is tome quiet little talk over the necessity of having thesa appointments con firmed by the senate in open session. T names will not be reported to the senate unless it Is consid 1 strictly necessary neither will the names of the twenty-eight committee clerks. Thera is scme fear ex pressed, however, that Auditor Moore may refuse to honor the vouchers of any en Moye not_appointed and confirmed in op seasion, The early appointment of the sev- enteen enrolling clerks is creating some com ment, for the reason that while they are expected to draw | from the date of their appointment thes is nothing fot them to do, as the senate has not y reached the pHint where it has begun to think of con sidering a bill in committee of the whole, to | say nothing about ordering one engrossed for a third reading The senate proceedings were of the briefst and most routine character this morning. An invitation from T. S. Clarkson, Inviting the senato to Omaha to attend the reception to be tendered to Senator Thurston, was formally accepted By request of the secratary of the senate the following appointments were made and confirmed by the eenate: W. M. Erwin of Harlan county, custodian of supplies; I. A Baker of York county, fila clerk; Mrs. Lillie M. Grant of ine county, copyist; Robert Lynn of Knox county, bill clerk.

HOUSE READY RELIEVE, Bill to Enable Counties to Furnish Seeq Grain Recommended for Passage. On motion of Chairman Conaway of the rellef committee the house this morning went into committes of the whole on house roll No. 1, Lamborn’s bill. Rouse was called to the chair. On motion to adopt section 1 of the bill Higgins offered an amendment to include townships and precincts in the power to vote bonds. - Prolonged discussions ensued con- cerning the limitations of the amount which, under the provisions of the bill, could be voted in the various countles. The report of the relief committee recommended that counties be permitted to vote 10 per cent of their valuation as assessed. In direct con- flict with this recommenilation, it also re- ported that counties should be limited to $100,000 each in bonds, and this was amended to read $50,000, but eventually both amend- ments wero defeated. The first two sectidns of the bill having been passed, Munger raised a point of con- stitutlonality in regard to section 3, which provides. a tax-on the land as security for grain delivered ito farmers for seed. He imed that it avould invalidate the rights V< mortgagees,” and moved a Ssweeping amendment that - apparently knocked out tho very essance of the measure. Howard contended that so long us it was impossible to pass a constitutional relief bill it was necessary to adopt this bill as it stood. Barry opposed Munger's_amendment. Mc Nitt supported it, and said that after relief had been grantsd the rights of the bona- holders would come up for adjudication, and then the constitutionality was bound to be attacked. In the midst of discussion the committee of the whole rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. The committee on joint rules reported in favor of the adoption of the joint rules of 1893, with an unimportant amendment.

Barry, leader of the populist contingent, took the floor, and in a neat little speech begged that the courtesy asked by the re- publicans ba granted by a unanimous vote.

AS TOBIAS S 1T, “Straight Out” Democratic Central Com- mittee In Session at Lincoln, LINCOLN, Jan. 15.—(Special Telegram.)— The straight-out democratic central commit- tee met at the Lincoln hotel in this city this afternoon, with an attendance of twent: eight members present of a total of thirty- three. Present among the shining lights of democracy as it is preached by Tobias Castor and Euclid Martin were: Buclid Martin, J. B. Sheehan and W. J. McHugh of Omaha, N. S, Harwood of Lincoln, Milton Doolittle, Dan Cook of Beatrice, A. S. Campl of Hastings, Jacob Bigler of Imperial, R. P. Dunphy of Seward, Henry Koehler of Blue Hill, D. H. Rolf, Judge Crawford of West Point, J. F. Crocker of Kearney. In addi- tion to all these there were present Toblas Castor of Lincoln and .J, Sterling Morton of Washington, D. C. The. conference lasted for several hours, but proved to ba of little moment. The one noticeable feature was the general in. sistence that the democrats present were the real bourbon party of Nebraska, and that no others were worthy of recoguition. It was resolved that the committee should is- sue a call for a state convention when the proper time comes later in the year. The fellowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has been suggestcd throngh the press and by persons wot_authorized to speak for the democracy o Nebraska, that the democratic party should be conziderad in the distribution of public patronage by Governor Holcomb: and Whereas, The democratic party regards the election of the governor as an event to FEW COMPLAINTS TO MAKE Annval Meeting of the State Board of Agriculture at Lincoln, | NO VOTE TAKEN ON THE FAIR LOCATION Subject Will Probably e Dronght Up at This Morning's Meeting — Hegrets Expressed that No Crop Balletin Nervices is Possible. LINCOLN, Jan. 15.—(Specal.)—The twenty- ninth annual meeting of the State Board of Agriculture convened at the chapel of the State university at 4 p. m. There was a full re sentation in the hall, although a number were absent on committees. Members of the board from seventy-two counties of the ninety in the state responded to their names. There ro 101 members of the board all told President R. H. Henry called the meeting together and the call of delegates by coun- tles was made by Secretary Robert W. Fur- nas. A short address of welcome was made by Chancellor Canfleld. He said he was glad to welcome them to the university, not only on account of what they wero worth to it, but also what it was worth to them. As illustrative of this he directed attention to the great benefit of the university to agriculs ture. He cited the works of varlous scien- tists connected with the institution, and alled attention to thelr valuable contribu- tions in the line of geology, entomology and chemistry, The speaker held that desifite the fact that this was a wonderful age, an age of invention, the electric age, in fact, there were lost arts which we have never been able to recover. The spirit of the age of anclent Greece, with her sublime archi- tecture, was only faintly reflected in the White City of the Columblan exposition. But all the ancient arts were for the public, all the history written was for the public and the peopld. And the progress and in- vention of today fis for the public, and no man 18 debarred from the enjoyment thereof. The chancellor held that such organizations as the present one before him could not have existed ages ago. The cohesive power of self-interest today held men together closer than brothers. Before him at the present he saw a newer and a larger life. Ho w pleased to welcome the menibers of the board. FAIR COMMITTEE NAMED. President Henry called attention to the fact that the importance of location of the state fair demanded a committes on credentials, and on_motion he appointed as such com: mittee Messrs, Dinsmore, Brown and Can- ten.

LUDDEN, After taking the vote on United States senator the house took a recess till 8 o'clock, at which time it continued its investigation of the destitute condition of the people in the drouth stricken districts of Nebraska and placed L. P. Luddon, secretary of the Statc Relief commission, on the witness stand. For upwards of an hour Secretary Ludden answered the numerous questions put to him from every part of the house. His answers may be epitomized into the following general statement: The State Relief commission has insisted that in every county where ald has been meeded & county central rellef committee Do formed. In the more thickly scttled counties precinet committees have been formed. Every upplication for relief must recelve the endorsement of the ounty cen- tral relief committee. In nearly every eounty in the drouth district such county re- Mef committees have been formed. These county relief committees have made their wants known to the state commission and the demands for supplics are filled as rapidly as possible. The commission has up to the present time been able to meet every demand made upon it. The greatesy trouble the commission has bad to contend with Is in the wumber of offers that are made but mever filled. For intsance, the commission has been notified through the Assoclated Press seven or eight times that a mmm.mi;m,u Gemocrat, — two votes, . Both of wheat was to be sent.

This does not contemplate the pay- ment of salary to any member of the com- miesion.

With the jnduction of Governor Hastings Into office all the departments of the state government again passed into the con- trol of the republicans, after four years of partial loss of political power.

Then followed a magnificent parade. A banquet was given by Governor Pattison to his suc- cessor this afternoon. The ceremonies will be continued at 8 o'clock this evening, with a display of fireworks in Market square and the reception at the executive mansion.

The resolution was adopted by the senate a few days ago. The the state holds out many advantageous in- ducements to home seekers and home build- ers, legislative appropriations for the support of the boards in this line of work are more than 100 per cent less than for any other state. The board has the sum of $2,000. Of this it gives the State Horticultural society $1,000 and $500 to scientists, which enabled it to present an annual report, which other states classed as one of the best published. This being done the sum of $500 was left. Kansas, lowa and Illinols gave their State Boards of Agriculture annually from $11,000 to $24,000., The_official report of the secretary of the New York board shows an annual appropria- tion of $228500. California is still more liberal. She gave agriculture and horti- culture alone in ten years $365,805, and to these and all kindred societies’ within the same time $2,503,323. Secrotary Furnal di- rects attention o these figures in order to enable the Nebraska Board of Agriculture to more nearly approximate the expectations and demands of the public. By reason of the financial conditions con- fronting the board of managers, as shown in tho statement of the treasurer, it was deemed adylsable not to hold the usual winter corn exhibit in nnection with this meeting. It is hoped by the sccretary, however, that this factor In the work will not be abandoned. Tho annual fair and exposition of 1594, whil held under the most adverse circumstances ever before undertaken in th history of Nebraska, was, all conditions considered, without a superior in the record of her ex- hibitions, The purely agricultural presenta- tion was far superior to any preceding fair. AS TO CROP RESULTS, While the 1894 crop results in Nebraska were disastrous without precedent, the secre- tary assures all that this fact should not disparage, not reflect upon ability to produce maxima in the opposite direction. The state | has the same unsurpassed productive soil, the same indomotable manipulators of soil, and they will, as heretofore, continue In un- bounded confidence in the agriculture of Ne- braska. In relation to a speed ring factor, the secre- tary says: “Pardon me If I suggest that, in consid- ering the question of relocating the state falr, that attention bs given the matter of a mile [ track. This is cesential, it it be your inten- tion to retain and maintain the speed ring as an adjunct to your fair The progressive | spirit Is abroad among horsemen, as in all | things el My experience in correspond ing with and soliciting horse owners Is that | no longer will good horses patronize a | mile track he decline in our speed celpts is au incontrovertible evidence in sup | port of the recommendation.
