The fury in the $2,000 damage suit of Mrs. Grate against Jacob Neumayer did not take long to deliberate upon the verdict. In about thirty minutes after entering the jury room the members had returned their ver- dict, and although it Will not be opened until district court convenes this forenoon infor- mation from a reliable source Is to the effect that the defendant is winner. There were several incidents during the course of .the trial that tended to show that tho plaintiff was “drawing the long bow, that she had not been damaged to the extent she claimed by Mr. Neumayer’s minis- trations to the drink appetite. Mrs. Grate told a pathetic story of her condition at the time her husband got the drink that was her undoing. She was sick In bed, her nervous system was all run down as the result of the bad words her husband had used toward her while he was under the influence of Neumayer's jags. She described how she got out of bed, and with the ald of her son bent her. faltering steps toward the saloon, where she had heard her liege lord was en- gaged In a drunken orgle. An equally pititul description was given of her tottering back home, there to be lald up for wecks as the result of her exposure. Her physiclan, ‘Dr. Laugel, was put upon the stand, and on cross-examination ad- mitted that on the day when the fateful drink was alleged to have been taken he had told Mrs. Grate that she was well enough to sit up without part'cular danger, and that on the SPECIAL TOWEL SALE. 50 dozen all linen Huck hem towel: borders, size 20x36, Monday 16c each. 10 pleces dotted curtain Swiss, 16c yard.

D., Feb. 10.—(Speclal.)—Half of the leglsiative session s over. Eighteen measures have passed both bodies and re- celved the governor's signature, while the senate has passed sixty-elght measures and the house fifty-seven. The senate has de- feated twenty-three measures, Wwhile the house has killed fitty-three. Mr. Dowdell's joint resolution No. 51, pro- viding for a commission to investigate the commissloner of public lands has become a law and the committee is ngw at work. It is holding open sessions and has an evident intention of discovering evils if they exist. Mr. .Hosmer's bill, 13, provides that no insurance shall be placed except through a 1 | local agency which is subject to all the taxes and other provisions. +| create a fund of $16,000 for hail insurance and $15,000 for lightning. Mr. Gold's bill, 76, providing that the taxes paid by the counties for the maintenance of the insane shall be used solely to maintain the asylum was beaten in the senate, as was Dr. Francis' bill, 78, which provided that the assignment of a mortgage should be re- corded with the register of deeds. Mr. Hokenstad's bill, 6, providing that | | volunteer firemen shall be exempt from pay- ment of poll tax also passed, and Mr. Goid's bill, 200, amending the funding warrant act. In the house Mr. Boyce's bill, 50, provid- ing for the foreclosure of schooi land mort- gages in_which there had been default passed. This measure provides that In case there shall be no bid for the full amount upon the mortgage the county auditor shall - | bid in the same in the name of the state. A number of highly important measures have passed either one body or the other dur- Ing the week. That which attracts the widest attention s probably Senator Aldrich'a bill, 144, des'gned to restore the divorce business the state. It provides that no divorce shall be granted unless the applicant shall have been a bona fide resident of the state d | for at least six months. Until two years ago the law provided that the applicant must re- side In the state at least three months before bringing sult, The necessary routine of the courts occupled from four to six months longer, so that the entire action usually re- quired from seven to ten months. Two years t | ago, under the leadership of Bishop Hare, a strong flght was made upon this law, and it - | was amended so that six months residence f | ghould be required before beglinning suit, or ten to twelve before obtaining a decree. The Aldrich bill will make divorces even easier than they were previous to 1893, since the applicant may begin suit immediately upon entering the state, and may obtain a decree six months thercafter. Its easy = passage through the senate portends its success be- fore the house. Mr. Chambers' bill, 13, has also passed the senate and been favorably reported by the house committee. This provides that a mar- rled woman contracting a debt for herself or her family for necessaries shall be indi- vidually lisble, as well as her husband, for the debt. Senator Doran’s bill, 9, submitting a con- stitutional amendment to strike cut the word male, has also passed the senate by a vote of 27 to 6, but It is quite likely to die in the house. Senator Hebal's bill, 107, providing that ona of the five on the board of charities and corrections shall be a woman, has also passed. Senator Rice's bill, 55, providing that a verdict may be rendered by three-fourths of a jury in oivil cases, has gone through the senate and the same success has walted upon Senator Schlund’s bill, 61, providing that any political party or candidate may pay the expense of and a reasonable per diem to any persons making pelitical speeches or announc- ing to voters in meetings or otherwise the candidacy of any candidate, gnd explaining or_supporting his claims. Senator Foot's bill, 116, has also passed, providing that in any suit against a tele- graph, railroad, express or other foreign cor- poration on service must be made upon the local agent. Senator Howard's bill, providing for the condemnation of warehouse sites, passed the senate this week. It provides that the rail- way commissioners ehall investigate and de- termine the site for the warehouse, and that the persons interested shall then appeal to the clrcult court for condemmation proczed- ings. l Mr. Chambers’ bill, 147, provides for the T e taking of the census in May of the present year. As this measure passed it was largely amended. The work is to be done by the state statieticlan, and $1,500 is allowed for his expense in preparing blanks. The actual enumeration will be taken by the county as- sessor, to be pald for by the counties. Mr. Elliott’s bill, 143, provides that the .governor may pardon convicts who have earned geod time in order to eave their cit- Cuban Agitators Clalm to Have Plenty of Money to Push Their Plans. TAMPA, Fla;, Feb. 10.—Ganzales Quesada, secretary of the Cuban revolutionary party in this country, in an interview yesterday, sald: “A revolution in Cuba s imminent. Byerything is ripe for jt. We have plenty of money already raised in the United States to carry on a successful war against Spain, and we can double it before July 1. The clgarmkers here have already given me 350,000 for the cause, and are ready to raise $100,000 more if necessary, Key West has given even more gencrously. “FFrom here I go to arouse the patriotism of the Cuban [slanders in Jacksonville, r- | Ocala, Philadelphia, and New York, and then fo the Cuban colonies in South’ America, We shall hav 8 ve'al million dollars in hand before the summer is over, and we can strike hard for Cuban liberfy.

Trusty lleutenants have bean dispatched to various parts of the state to fix delegations and set up the “‘clgars” for the boys who are expected to be sent as delegates to the coming convention. It now looks as if all former political deals have been “declared off” and a free-for-all race was to be indulged in. The certainty of election is another factor that will tend to make a lively scramble for the prize. It 1s likely that lines will be drawn along pro- hibition again. The republican party of Towa is a good deal like a family with a contaglous disease, however. It has the disease, but does not like to put out quaran- tine cards, General Francis Marion Drake of Center- ville, who has long had his eye upon the governor's chair, and who is a man with a phenomenally successful business career, i supposed to be first and foremost in the race at this writing, though by no means certain of success. General Drake possesses peculfar elements both of strength and weak- ness. He has amassed a fortune of anywhere from one to two millions in building and managing railroads, and Is the founder and principal “patron of Drake's University of this city. His railroad afiliations will have a tendency to render the farmers lukewarm in his support, but his connection with the last named enterprise and his church re- lationship will give him an active and de- voted following in nearly every county of the state. He is also a prohibitionist of the strictest sect, and will undoubtedly be satis- factory to_the radical element of the party. Senator J. B. Harsh of Creeton, who has bee 1 state senator for several terms, would like to round out his political career either in the governor's chair or in congress, he Is not particular which. Living as he does in Hepburn's district, his chances of securing a congressional nomination is somewhat re- mote, o he has concluded to enter the guber- natorial race. He is a statesman of no mean ability, an acute politiclan, and being presi- dent of a national bank with other large property interests has ample funds at his command. On the liquor question he Is & conservative and will meet no vigorous op- position on this score. Senator Harsh will cut largely into General Drake's strength in southwestern Towa and these two favorites will likely corral all the votes in that sec- tion. This latter statement is based on the as- sumption that Lieutenant Governor Dungan of Chariton stays out of the field. Mr. Dungan {s a man of conceded ability, and a prime favorite with the farmers, but is persona non grata with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy interests, He {5 also in the line of legitimate succession, arid this fact alone, were it not for his age, jyould’ make him a formidable candidate. HE IS THE FARMERS’; FRIEND. Hon. B. F. Clayton, formerly of Potta- wattamle, but now residing at. Indianola, is a more or less active candidate. Mr. Clay- ton won the reputation during. the last cam- paign of the “silver-tongued orator,” is a man of deep convictions @nd a strong per- sonality, with hundreds of devoted friends wherever he is known. He.has not an- tagonized any element of the party, and would be especlally. acceptable to the far- mers, with whose interests he has long been identified. {1 s Hon. Lorenzo S. Coffin:'of' Fort Dodge thinks the nomination should’ come to him almost without the asking. "“Two years ago he was made the candidaté 6f the bolting prohibitionists, but declined the nominaticn and heartily supported Jackson in spite of what he called the ‘“rotten plank.” For years he has been engaged in securing tae adoption of ‘“automatic couplers” on all freight cars, and fondly imagines has so endeared himself to the boys" as to secure thelr united support, will, of course, be backed by the radical pro- hibition element of the north central section— of the “slough water district,” so called—and may make a strong showing. The farmers of the state, however, do not have much confidence in Coffin. ' Several years ago, when a member of the Board of Rallroad Commissioners, he showed such decided lean- ings toward the rallroads that he was “dropped” by Governor Larrabee, largely in deference to the wishes: of the farmers alllance. From Bmmettsburg on the extreme north- ern border comes the announcement that Colonel E. S. Ormsby, a well known banker of that place, will shy his castor into the politi- cal ring at the proper time, along with the others. Colonel Ormsby s a leading Meth- odist, is well and favorably known, and as a sectional candidate will draw a strong follow- Ing. Northern Iowa has had the governor for many years, and the south half of the state is going to demand ' its rights in the coming contest. A 1t is also stated that John N. Baldwin, the Council Bluffs attorney, has placed himself “in the hands of his friends” and s not averse to the nomination. There is one element that will be a potent factor In determining the final result which has not yet been taken into consideration—that {8 the so-called liberal element. This large and influential faction, which has absolute control of the “river counties” and a dozen or more large and populous interlor districts, and which 1s heartily tired of having pro- hibition made a political issue, is determined that the question shall henceforth be elimi- noted from politics and will vote solidly along this line, Tt looks now as if Secretary of State W. M. McFarland will enter the race with the un- derstanding that he will get the solid vote of this element when ho needs it. Mr. Mc- Farland has many elements of strength, and being daily at the state capital will have unequaled opportunities for meeting people, an advantage he will not be slow to improve. Whatever the outcome may be as respects individuals, it is bound to divide along this line, and the long drawn out contest will finally settle down between McFarland, Bald- win or Clayton, as agalnst Drake, or possibly Harsh, uniess an unknown dark horse steps in at the last moment and bears away the honors. RICHMOND MAY GO TO JAIL. A prison cell seems at last to be looming up before W. 8. Richmond, the whilom man- ager of the defunct Union Loan and Savings assoclation. Judge Stevenson of the district court, after being fully adviséd in the matter, has {ssued an order requiriig Richmond to produce the three missing bboks of the asso- tion within ten days. Both Richmond and Secretary Crawford havé sworn that they do not knOw where the hooks are, though they were careful not to, swear they had no knowledgo of the person Who might have spirited them away. Among the missing volumes are the ledger and, the loan books, Yo, iniesa they are finally sroduced, it wii 2 almost impossible for Recelver Wilcoxen to tell who is indebted to the concern. Speculation is rife as to swhat Judge Steven- son will do if Richmond falls to produce the documents. Many think that the ex-man- ager will defy the c@hrt. and file an afi- davit simply that he dges not know where tho books arz. Ho evidently prefers to run the risk of punishment for contempt of court than to have the public, and especlally the stock- holders, let in on the ground floor in respect to his pecullar management of the concern. As the matter now stands, unless the books are produced the receiver will resign, and the stockholders, in order to realize anything out of tho assels of the coneern, will be com- pelled (5 make terms with Richmond. The lattes, however, does not seem disposed to compromize, and if he cin succeed In eyading the order ¢t the court will likely snap his fingers at the stockholders and let them whistle for their money. No more important question will come up for considerati'n at the hands of the next general aszembly then the matter of revising with a high-stunding title, and with an os- tensible capital of $50,000,000.

Upon such a basis he urged the early repeal of that I [l i law. Admitting for the sake of argument that the above amount represents the total paid up capital of the Insurance companies of the entire country, as Nebraska repre- sents less than one-seventicth of the entire insurance business of the country, therefore the capital invested in this state, instead of being 370,000,000, would really bé less than $1,00,000. ' The fact is, however, that the audifor's report for 1890 shows tiat the total paid up capital of the 116 companies doing business in this state was 162,807,000, of which $15.907,00 was credited to companies “from other states,” $,200000 to companies Special Notices-Gouncil Blufs CHIMNEYS CLEANE VAULTS CLEANE Apply at Dee offic GOOD GIRL WANTS SITUATION FOR GEN- eral housework; best of references. ~ Address 6, Bee office.
