LINCOLN, Feb, 27.—(8pecial)—Today was the thirly-ninth working day of the senate, and the next to the last on which bills might be Introduced. Eleven prospective laws were added to tnhose already Introduced at the present & bringing the total up to 358, With one more day to come. Senator Tefft fntroduced a measure calculated relieve | the State Board of Public Lands and Build- ings of a great many of its onerous burdens by providing for a new state official, to be designated as the supervisor of public b Ings. This official is to bo paid an annual galary of $1,400, and it is made his duty to | wisit all state institutions, oversee all needed Jepairs and exercise general supervision over - the physical condition of all buildings belonging to the state. He s required to report quarterly, giving in detall the nature of all repairs, the of | material and labor, and such other facts as | the Board of Public Lands and Bulldings may require | The subject of immigration to the hos- | pitable confines of Nebraska was brought up | by two new bills, one offered by Senator | Smith and the other by Senator Pope. The bills are identical and provide that the secre- tary of state, auditor of public accounts and commissioner of public lands and buildings ghall constitute what is known as a State ( Board of Immigration. The actual work or | the board is to bo performed by the inev- ftable secretary at an annual salary of $2,000. The bills appropriate $25,000 for the purpose of dlsseminating alluring advertising matter throughout the east. Kach of the six con-| gressional districts is (o have a repres tive to advise the board of the needs of ¢ district n the state, but these representativ are to receive no compensation. Senator Smith offered a bill in behalf of the | motormen on the electric street raflways, r quiring strect railway companies to provide enclosures for motormen and gripmen. Sec- retary Hitcheock introduced a bill having the same object in view. Senator Pope introduced a bill to provide for the education of children confined in the homes supported by the state, and for the payment of the expenses therefor. Another bill in the intere:ts of the youth of the state was-introduced by Semator Me- Kesson, It provides for free county in- telligence offices for boys and girls, for the restoraticn to their homes of truant and tramping youths, for the imprisonment of youthtul malefactors apart from all criminals, and for the protection of children in dissi- pated and immoral homes. This is the bill drawn by Alexander Hogeland, the “‘news- boys' triend,” and it has been introduced in nearly every state of the union. Senator Stewart offered the most unique Dbill of the day, and it will be recognized as peculiarly important to the citizens of the frontier countles of the state. Its somewhat lengthy title recites that it is the purpose of the act “to provide protection from prairie fires, to com| county commissioners, county supervizors, road overseers, railroad companies, property owners and occupants to provide fire guards for the protection of the people and the county against damage by prairie fires, to provide for the extinguish- ment of prairie fires and to empower county commissioners or county superviscrs to adver- tise for and accept bids for the plowing and burning of fire guards.

LINCOLN, Feb. 27.—(Special)—The com- mittee on penitentiary appear to have had some rather queer experience with W. H. Dorgan, at present the managing factotem of C. W. Mosher out at the “pen.” Mem- bers of the committes say that Dorgan has filed a strong protost against the parole of twenty-olght prisoners, whose labor, he as- sumes, he s entitled to at all times under the provisions of Mosher's contract with the state. A member of the committee says Dorgan was told that no radical deflection from the letter and spirit of the law would be made for the purpose of accommodating| his pecunfary interest in the prison con- tract, Thore are a number of stories afloat con- cerning Dorgan’s position as relating to his subcontract. One s that he has offered to sell or transfer it for §60,000. Another is that he is willing to part with the alleged sinecure for §20,000. But it is difficult, under the present unsettled condition of affairs con- nected with the penitentiary contract, to form any reliable estimate of the value of Dorgan’s lien on the labor of the convicts. There are a number of bills now pending in the house to repeal the law of 1877, trans- ferring Stout’s contract to Mosher. The passago of any one of them will naturally bring Dorgan into the fleld on an equal baais with all other bidders for a new contract. One of the bills, however, provide for an appropriation of $35,000 to conduct the peni- tentlary without the adjunct of a prison con- tractor. 3 It is understood that Dorgan's present es- timate of the cost of the eighty stone cells, which, undor the Mosher contract, he is Tesponsible for, and which are now uncom- pleted, is far below the sum at which they Wore estimated undor the Stout regime. Then it was thought that $300 apiece would be the ullimate cost of them. Now Dorgan talks about §40 apicce, or §3,200 for the cn- tire job. There is another rumor afloat that Dorgan has become tired of life and business at the “pen” and is anxious to close out his deal NOT READY TO PUSH THEM Senats Declines to Take Tmmediats Action DILE'S | Short Debate on the 1. | resolution offered by ing against to recover the interest popularly supposed to | have been officiats. mate of the annual balances fn the hands of the state treasurers for the past and averaged the amounts at $1,156476 per | annum, Dale mee The resolution contained a simple proposition to call on the attorney general to look into the could sce no reason why the resolution not be immediately adopted. was not a new one to the senators. they finally fully consider section 24 of article 5 of the constitution, showing that state officers ceive for their ow terest upon public moneys In their hands or under their control.” stituiton not only salary of the state treasurcr, but went fur- ther and distinctly declared that the state treasurer shall not receive the asked that the matter be referred to the attor- ney general, It the attorney general found good cause for action ex-treasurers and their hondsmen the troasury. committe on finance, ways and means, was agreed to. duced and read for the first time. introduced yesterday time, munication ecutive sess tho doors were opened the bills on third reading and passed the follow- ing: m sellors-at-law by the supreme court instead of by district courts, as under the present law. law relating to fees allowed fo county sher- iffs. an arrest under a search warrant and 5 cents a mile for all distance traveled in processes. senato today, gives them §2 for serving the warrants end 6 cents per milo for the first five miles from the court house and 10 cents a milo for each mile thereafter. the same penalites for daylight burglary that tho present law prescribes for burglary com- mitted in the night, and joint resolution, reading as follows: the congress of the United for the ceding to the state of of all the government lands within the borders of sald state the title to which stitl remains in the United States: and bring_all ‘sald the market and encourage the development and settling of unoccu state and property of sal of sion assembled, That our senators in con- gress are hereby instructed and our rep- Tes able and reasonable cfforts o accomplish and hasten the pass school distriets with less than $5,000 assessed valuation to levy a higher rate of tax for school shall not in any case exceed 35 mills on the dollar in any one year. the law governing ths admission of inmates to the State Institution for the Feeble Minded Youth the several counties of the state are required to pay their own children, but it fixes no time when the passed today, provides that each child con- fided to county shall be accompanicd by $40 in cash, to be used In purchasing clothing for such inmate for one year.

HOUSE BUSY KILLING OFF BILLS, Committes of the Whole Kldetracks a Num- ber of Proposed LINCOLN, Feb. 27.—(Speclal.)—Slugging of bills in committee of the whole was the principal order of business of the houss dur- ing the afternoon. Seven of them went by the board at the hands of the members, and they were sent to the graveyard with con- siderable hilarity, The fact that a majority were measures introduced by mem- bers of the Omaha delegation may cut no particular figure, but stili it was thought somewhat significant, Cole, In tho chair, tricd to imitate some of the rulings indulged In periodically by yeaker Richards, and, in the opinicn of a| number of fair-minded members, achieved a glittering eucc:ss.

Macean Effective speech and Got Off wiih Threo Years, Kan., Feb. The case of sdell, alias Hartwell P, Heath, known mewspaper man who at- to pass fraudulent drafts on the tizens bank on the 18th instant, took a sudden turn late this afternoon. Truesdell came into court and pleaded guilty to attempt ing to obtain money under false pretenses, but mot to forgery as charged. The charge of forgery was therefore dropped by the prosecuting attorney and Truesdell was im- mediately sentenced to three years in the state prison at bard labor. Wien asked if he had.anything to say, Truesdell made a most affecting speech. He taiked fluently for more than fifteen minutes, glving a review of his life and his newspaper career, His voice trembled and tears came 1o his eyes when he refered to his family connections, His purpose in speaking of his he said, was to show that he was not a :ned criminal. After sentence had been pronounced, Truesdell again arose and arked that his remarks be kept out of the papers. As 4 newspaper man of twenty yer's ex- erlence, he declared that, were another man in his place, he would not ask the stenog- rapher for a transcript of that speech. At the conclusion of his remarks the prisoner shook hands with the judge and his attorncys and was taken back (o jall. The quick dis- position of the case was & surprise (o the public and the defendant’s lawyers. Its con- clusion had not been looked for so soon and but few attorneys or spectators were in the court room at the time. — Ex-Chilef Justice frigham Dead. SALEM, Mass, Feb. 27.—Lincoln Flagg Brigham, ex-chief justice of the supreme court, died at his home here today. He was EMPORIA, Frank H. Tru the el tempted Double Murder, Both Deliberately Slaughtered by D Redsking In a Canyon ~One Criminal Commite Soleide Before the Day of Trial, anken CHAMBERLAT ~The crime for D., Feb. 27 which the Sioux (Special.) Indian, a term in the Sioux Falls penitentiary as the result of his trial at Deadwood, was one of the most atrocious in the annals of crime. The story is an interesting one. Sarly in the morning of December 13 last John Lance and his boon companion, Thun- der Hawk, arrived at the home of an Indian named Catch-'Em-Alive, on the Rosebud res- ervation, The two Indians had been to Crook- ston and Valentine, Neb., and while there had procured more than a dozen bottles of in- toxicants. Upon arriving at the ome of Cateh-'Em- Alive they produced the liquor, and, after a number of warriors and squaws living in the vicinity had been called in, the company p pared to enjoy an old-time drunken debauch. Among the invited guests were Yellow Bull, his wite, Her Good Horse, and their son, Charging Enemy, a lad of 6 or 7 years of age. Testimony produced at the trial of John Lance proved that an illicit love existed be- tween himself and Her Good Horse. Tae company finally became uproariously drunk, and Lance le(t the house in company with Her Good Horse and started toward a ravine in the vicinity, ostensibly for the purpose of escorting the woman lLome. Before they had proceeded far the little son of the woman left the house and overtook them. Reaching the ravine, Lance and the woman sat down upon a bank at_the niead or highest point of the ravine. The woman, from her position, could look back in the direction from which they had come, and after sitting there a few moments suddenly Jumped to her feet, and with an exclamation of fright ran down' the ravine. TWO DID THE WORK. Almost immediately Thunder Hawk rode up on horseback. He was very drunk. Asking where the woman was, and_receiving an answer, he jumped from his forse and fol- lowed in the direction she had taken. As to what occurred from this time on, the state- ments of Lance .and others conflict. There is, however, little doubt that Thunder Hawk overtook the woman, grabbed her, and while attempting to accomplish his fiendish pur- f was beaten off by the now desperate woman, who fought nobly and like a demon to preserve her life and honor. Thunder »Hawk, realizing that in his drunken candition he was no match for the muscular woman, ran back to where Lance was, told him of is failure to overcome the woman, and requested that he come and assist. Thunder Hawk, naturally a fierce and domincering Indian, was now in a perfect frenzy and ready to commit any crime. The two fiends returned to a wash-out, where the poor woman had taken refuge, and Thunder Hawk again grappled with her. In the struggle the woman again emerged as th victor. At this juncture there is little doubt that Lance went to the assistance of ‘ais comrade, and the murder was the result. During the struggle in the canyon the boy escaped unnoticed, and had succeeded in nearly reaching the top of the hill on his way to give the alarm, when he was csped by the two red-skinned rascals. Marks on the_ground indicated that tne boy was fol- lowed and when near the top of the hill was overtaken and hustled to the depression where the struggle with the woman had taken place. Footprints along the path lead- ing to the top of the hill showed plainly Caat the person who followed and caught the boy wore moccasins. Thunder Hawk wore shoes that day, while Lance had his feet encased in moccasins; thus it is certain that he was the the one wio overtook the boy. KILLED THE BOY. In the meantime it is supposed the squaw had been killed, and when the captured boy was taken to spot where the crime was committed he was taken by the hecls and his brains deliberately dashed out against the wall of the canyon. The bodies were then laid side by side, and the murderers fled. When found five days later the body of the boy showed no bruises whatever, but his head was pounded to a pulp. The woman's head and body were covered with bruises, showing that she made a desperate fight for life. Marks about the head and upper por- tion of the body bear out the supposition that he was killed by means of jagged stones held In the hands of the murderers. The lower portion of the body was horribly mu- tilated. This was undoubtedly done previous to the taking of her life. The ground in the vicinity was saturated with blood and rocks with blood upon the sharp edges were lying near by, showing the manner of death. Under all tae circumstances, the bringing in by the jury of a verdict of manslaughter was @ surprise to many of those who heard all the evidence in the cage. Thunder Hawk, had he not committed suicide soon after his arrest and while o prisoner in the Hot Springs jail, would certainly have been hung for his part in the dastardly crime. With- out question the crime was the most blood- thirsty, and the least excuse for it, of any crime ever committed on any of the Indian reservations in this state. e ey Rejected the Increased Tobacco Daty. CHRISTIANA, Feb, 27.—The Storthins hes rejected the government bill providing for an increase of the tobacco duty. N0 SURGERY, A Discovery Which Will Inter- est and Benefit Thousands.
