SMALL CHANCE FOR AMENDMENT. After recess the contest was renewed. Kechy offered a bill embodying Governor Hol- comb’s suggestions, and it was read the first time, according to law. McKeshy endeay to make the bill, together with the message, a special order for tomorrow afternoon. His motion to that effect was vigorously com- batted by Sloan, who insisted that, under the motion agreed to this morning, the present afternoon should be devoted to the sions of courtesy toward the chief executive. The vote on MeKeeby's motion stood 16 to 10. The lieutenant governor held that, as the motion took a bill out of its regular order, it would require a two-thirds magority to change the rule. Sloan tho wholo matter was droppel. Under tho present situation the bill intro- duced this afternoon by McKeeby will be read the second time tomorrow and referred to the commiltee on agriculture. When that committes is ready it will report it back to the senate, and it will have to take its place at the foot of the file, where it will have to remain until it is reached in the regular courso of business or taken out of its reg ular place and advanced by a two-thirds vote of the senate, Dale, Hahh, Hitcheock, Jeftriea, MeKeeby, Saunders, Srmith, Sprecher, Stewart, Fatson, W Wright-=19, Eloan, Steufer, P § Temt—10, Rathbun, L OF TOE NEW LAW, Provisions of tho Bill Intended to Protect the Churas of Nebraska.

Senator Smith’s Plan to Protect the Orig- inal Flections in Cities. LINCOLN, March 6.—(Special.)—Senator Smith of Douglas county has been extremely fortunate in securing the passage of the measures he has fathered at the present session. None of his bills have been more important than the ome providing for the registration of voters for primary elections In cities of the metropolitan and first classes. This bill is designed to surround the primary. elections with the same safeguards thrown around the regular city and state elections. Uuder the proposed law every- elector wish- ing to vote at a primary election must either register before a regular appointed board or establish his right to' do so by af- fidavit. The registration books shall show the name of the elector, his place of resi- dence 50 clearly stated that it may be easily found, the date and place of his birth, date and place of naturalization, term of resi- dence in state, county and ward. If any elector shall fail to register he may be en- titled to vote at the primary election if he cant prove by two witnesses, residents of the same ward and of well known character and £ood repute, that he was prevented from registering; 1, for the reason that he was absent from the city on business; 2, that he was sick; 8, that he was detalned by sick- ness in his family; 4, that he was in at- tendance upon court as an officer, witness or juror; 5, that he is a public oficial and his dutles prevented him from registering, or 6, that he 1s a physician or surgeon, and was in attendance upon patients at the time of registration. Seed Grain for ri unty Farmers. M'COOL JUNCTION, Neb, March 5. (Special.)—The §10,000 worth of county warrants assigned by the county commis- sioners to T, W. Smithe of this place for the purpose of purchasing seed grain and grain for feed to be sold to York county farmers who are unable to provide themselves with grain, will, judging from large numbers of applications ‘received, only supply one-fifth of the amount asked for. No applications will be recelved after March 10. York county is one of the banner agricultural counties. The 1894 crcp exceeded that of a number of counties and equaled nearly that of any county In the state. It will take $20,000 to 860,000 to supply farmers of thix county who are unable to purchase or pro- vide themselves with grain. Tn Memory of . M. Marquett. LINCOLN. March 5.—(Special Telegram.)— Memorlzl services in honor of the late Hon. Turner M. Marquette were held today ln the supreme court room.

BARRETT SCOTT BILL ALSO CARRIES Vote on Both Measures—Pe- culiar Fentures of the Passage of the Latter—Rellef Bill Succeeds Only In Part. LINCOLN, March 5.—(Special)—The sugar bounty bill passed the house today by a vote of 69 5. As in committee of the whole, populists and democrats voted solidly against It. The proceedings were delayed for a while by attempts at fillbustering on the part of the minority, but the speaker out- played them at every point, and their amend- ments and demands for the roll call were useless, Howard wanted the permanent fund to realize 50 per cent of the bounty, and he didn’t want any save Amer- loan citizens to reap the bemefit. Barry wanted countics instead of the state to pay the bounty, but all these wishes we: The rellef bill appropriating §200,000 for the ald of destitute farmers in the state failed to pass today with the emergency clause, This was the second attempt, and nearly two hours were ronsumed in trylng to engineer it through the house, Strong arguments were made by its friends. They pointed to the fact that committees were now and had been traveling through the eastern states begging alms, and that they were being asked “‘what are you dolng for yourselves?’ An attempt was made to reduce the amount to $100,000, at which point it might have carried, but it was belleved by its friends that it would pass at $200,000. It failed and was put upon its passage without the emergency clause and passed. “BARRETT SCOTT" BILL PASSED. When senate file No. 259 came up for pas- sage today one of the most remarkable oc- currencea in the history of Nebraska legie- lation took place. The bill was introduced in the senato by Watson. It provides that when, In tho estimation of the attorney gen- eral, a fair or impartial trial cannot be had of a prisoner within the county in which he has been indicted, he may be taken therefrom and trled in another district. Hitherto the law has granted the privilege of change of venue only to the defen The bill, when it came over from the senate, was put through its various stages of advancement without a word of endorsement from the majority, which finally enacted it into law. No one spoke in its favor, but all of its opponents argued against it. Today it was passed by a vote of 69 to 5, a strict party vote, with the exception of Robertson of Holt county, a populist. He voted for the measure and gave lis reason for so doing in writing. He said that the exepenses fncurred in the case of the murder of Barrett Ceott had already been over $110,000 to Holt county. His not, read by the clerk, was: r. Speaker: visions of this to the &chool 1 am opposed to the pro- bill for the reason t I believe the same to be in direct conflict with the constitution of the state of Nebraskn and contrary to the principles of a republi- can form of government. But as this bill fs espocially designed for the benefit of Holt county, as it provides that the state shall ay all costs when hange of venue is asked, and taking into consideration the fact that the sums of money stolen from Holt county, added to the amounts expended in returning, prose- cuting and convicting the thieves, Wwill ex- ceed the sum of $110,000, and believing it would be to the interest of the taxpayers of Holt county for the state to pay all further costs and thus relieve Holt county, T vote yes. It is sald by old members of the house and by old residents of the state that never before has a measure been passed in either branch of the legislature without one word having been uttered by its friends in its support. Robertson is the man against whom a resolution of inquiry was directed, charging him with belng a member of the band of vigilantes which Iynched Scott. That resolution has never been yet reported, although several members have tried to have it done. But the committee took the seriously questionable position that it would nefther arraign Robertson for Investigation nor exonerate him of the charge. In house roll No. 600 Rhodes has a bill aimed at thé ‘“‘mashers.” It provides that a man who shall fraudulently represent him- self to be unmarried-and make a proposal of marriage to any unmarried female of good character, or keep company with her upon such false pretense, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shail be fined not more than $200 or imprisoned in the county jail not more than six months. ROUTINE OF THE DAY. Governor Holcomb this morning returned the anti-oleomargarine bill, senate file No. 78, signed, but accompanied by a special message recommending important amend- ments to be incorporated in another bill. Unanimous consent was secured by the committee on finance, ways and means to report house roll No. 531, by Grifith, ap- propriating $25,000 for the payment of in- cidental expenses of the legislature, for passage. The house committee on rules reported a rule which provides for a change in the man- ner of demanding a call of the rol, and one for changing the method of call of the house. Under the new rule a domand for the ayes nays must be seconded by two members, and five members must demand a call of the houge to secure it. House rolls Nos. 534 and 530 had been made a special order for today, and 534 was put upon its pas:age, receiving 92 votes to none against. The bill authorizes county boards of the several counties in the state to use the surplus general funds, road funds and cotinty bridge funds in purchasing seed and feed and to distribute the same among the destitute. House roll No. 530 passed by a vote of 88 to 2, Delaney and Guthrie oppos- ing. This bill authorizes county commis- sloners to use the surplus precinct bond funds for purchasing seed and feed. By resolution of the house, senate file No. 259 was called up and put upon its passage. This 1s known in the house as “the Barrett Scott change of venue bill," providing that the attorney general can take any prisoner out of one county for trial in another. By almost a strict party vote the bill was passed by a vote of 69 to 25, Following is the vote in del i i, irgrive, Orton, Verkins, Poblman, Richardson, Ticket e, Robertson, Rob/nso Sehieckedantz, Sinson, Spen: Button (Douglas) Button (Pawnee) Hurkson, Hinds, nkins, nness, Johnston (Douglas), rns’ (Dodge), urns (Lancaster), can, Campbell, Kaup, Lamborn, Langhort, Mattison, Rouse, MeFadden, MeNitt, ber, Wilder, Zink (Jonwn), Mr. Speaker—09, Rothleutner, Smith, Bute Delaney, Dempsey, ¥ritz, Goar man, Housen, (Nemaha), kman, McVicker, Remington, Havlick, odes, herman)—26.

The following bills were passed: Senate file No. 9, authorizing the appoint- ment of supreme court commissioners. Houso roll No. 383, by Munger, granting Lincoln real estate to the German Lutheran congregation. House roll No. 60, by Jeukins, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of clgareites in the-state of Nebraska. House roll No. 116, by Lamborn, relating to the service of summons upon corporations, The house then took a recess until 2 p. m. ©On the call for bills on third reading after receas the following were passed: House roll No. 117, by Lamborn, relating to the payment of warrants and the form of warrant registers. Tho committee’s substitute for bouse roll oy s e ignored. | No. 1, b,“\m s of Dodge, providing tor the payment 8t five-cighths of 1 cent a pound to the manufacturers of sorghum or other sugar, and three-cighths of 1 cent additional o encouragegthg prection of new sugar piants and also to “tofffpel the payment of at least | $5 a ton to!ghe:producer for beets. Howard | attempted to amend by making 50 per cent of the bounty payable to the permanent school fund, but wag defeated. Barry wanted to re- | commi the B for the purpose of amendment | to the effect that counties, instead of the | state, shall pay the bounty, but a majority | of the house falled to agree with him. How- ard moved ap amendment that no bounty should be paid ofher than to American citi- zens, and upoh‘this he demanded a roll call. This was soconded twice by Van Housen, but the speaker fgnored the latter entirely, | and, putting the question, declared the amendment lost. The bill was then put upon | its passage, and passed by a vote of 69 to 26 House roll No. 151, by Cramb, authorizing county boards to Institute proceedings to have orphaned and abandoned children adopted. House roll No. 110, by Conaway, providing for books of registration for cities of the first and second class, having over 7,000 in- habitants. House roll No. 365, by Robinson, appropri- ating the matriculation fees of the Nebraska State Normal school, constituting a library fund for the use and support of the library of said school. The sum appropriated Is $2,396.89, House roll No. 264, by Harrison, to pro- vide for the incorporation of cities of the first class having less than 25,000 and more than 8,000 inhabitants and amending section 38 of the act of incorporation. RELIEF DILL WAS PASSED The house then went into committee of the whole to consider house roll No. 525, the re- lief Dbill introduced by Conaway at the re- quest of the relief committee, and which was last night recommitteed for the special pur- pose of amending it to read $190,000 instead of $200,000. The an.endment did not prevail, and on motion of McNitt the committee of the whole arose and recommended the pas- sage of the bill carrying an appropriation of $200,000. The report of the committee was not con- curred in. Lamborn moved that the amount of the appropriation be made $100,000. This motion was lost by 53 to 38. The bill was then put upon its passage, carrying with it $200,000 appropriation. The bill failed to pass with tho emergency clause by a vote of 55 yeas to 40 nays, a two-thirds vote being required. It was then put upon it passage without the emergency clause, and passed by 64 to 40. This, however, makes the law inoperative until July 1, 1895, If the legislature should adjourn in March. The house then adjourned. HE CANAL. Senato Gives Its Oflicial Assent to the Prop- osition to Issue Bonds. LINCOLN, March 5.—(Special.)—The senate transacted a great deal of actual work today. Before recess several bills were read the third time and passed, among them being the following: Senate file No. 182, by Akers, providing and prescribing regulations for the appropriation, distribution and use of water for the purpo of frrigation, ete, This is the second irri- gation measure passed by the semate at the present sessign, the one being the comple- ment of the other, and both being asked by the friends of irrigation. Tho Omaha canal bill was read the third time and passed. The bill is especially designed for the purpose of enabling Douglas county to issue bonds for the construction of the proposed power canal. In the afterncon the senate, after disposing of the oleomargarine bill, went into committee of the whole to eonsider bills on general file, and in so doing “Incidentally slaughtered a few measures, which have been carefully nur- tured since the -beginning of the session. One of Crane's bills was the first to fall. It was senate file 'No, 5, and was a measure de- signed to increasé the salary of the county judge of Douglas county from $2,500 per an- num to $3,000, SPECIAL 'PLEA FOR BAXTER, In asking for the passage of the bill Crane said that the judictary committee had almost unanimously favored the bill. When the present law was passed, he said, fixing the salarles of county officers, Douglas county was thinly populated and there was but littie for the county judge to do. It was shown to the committee that at the present time the county judge of Douglas county was required to Issue papers on from three tol five estates every day in the year. He not only looks after the probate business, but s required by law to hold a law term In each month of the year. Three-quarters of his time is taken up with criminal cases, and the bal- ance of the time he is continually employed in probate work. He also gives free legal ad- vice to widows and others not able to em- ploy counsel. Crane urged all the arguments at his command in support of his bill, but he was followed by Hitchcock of Johnson county in a speech eo polnted and vigorous that the bill was thrown clear over the sen- atorial ropes. Hiteheock sald that he had yet to hear of any one in Douglas county who favored the bill except the county judge. He pointed to the fact that the county judge of Douglas county made mo account whatever of the fees he collected for issuing marriage li- censes or for performing marriage cere- monies. The present county judge admitted that in 1894 these fees amounted to between $700 and $800, and the senator said he had learned on good authority that the present county judge of Douglas county at a state convention of county judges boasted that these fees amounted to more nearly -$1,500 per year. Now this judge, continued Hifch- cock, not only wants a salary of $3,000 per annum, but he wants the marriage license fees and the interest on the funds under his control. He wants practically $5,000 per annum—double the salary paid to the judges of the supreme court. he committee of the whole, by a large , indefinitely postponed the bill. DISCUSSING LEGAL HANGING. A lengthy discussion ensued over the bill Introduced by Smith providing that all ex- executions of criminals condemned to death shall take place within the walls of the state penitentiary. Despite the gruesomo nature of the bill, at times the discussion drew away from the propo:ed law and took a few turns bardly contemplated by the author of the bill, Wright vigorously opposed the bill. He objected to the city of Lincoln being con- verted into a slaughter house for the con- venience of the entire state. Smith, the author of the bill, spoke briefly, but earnestly, In its favor. He sald that there were many excellent reasons.why legal exceutions should take place In the pen- itentiary. Execution in the several counties of the state had glyvays had a bad effect upon the populace, roof of which he alluded | to the executi Ed Neal in Omaha, which was followed the same night by the lynching of a negro. He felt certain that the lynch- ing of the negro would not have occurred had not the people been excited by the legal exeoutlon & Ig¥ hours previously. He safd that had a mdn like C. W. Mosher been In the Douglas county Jail that night he would undoubtedly haveibeen hanged by the mob. “On, well, it.this is a bill to provide for the hanging of Mosher,” said Wright, ‘“‘that is another mafter.” MeKesson opposéd the bill because of its pernicious effécts upon the convicts at the penitentiary. Pope favored: fhe, bill and ch with a lack of singerity. Sloan favorad. the bill because measure introdéesd, by the junior senator from Douglasii and, it was the first thing that Douglas county had ever offered to the city of Lincoln. Watson objeoted to the use of the words “Junior senator” as applied to Senator Smith Ho thought the term should go to the bach- elor member from Douglas, Crane. Sloane explained that he had used the words “junior senator” by request. He certainly did not mean to infer that Crane was not o be classed among the eligible members. Crane arose to a question of privilege. desired to kunow whether Sloane meant infer that he was eligible for hanging, something else. Sloan protested that he had used the word only in its matrimonial sense. JUST A LITTLE PERSONAL. McKesson brought the discussion to a more serious level by resuming his argument ugainst the bill. He closed by saying that Lancaster county was proud of the fact that in her entlre bistory she had never been called upon to execute a criminal Watson took ¢xcertion to the last remark vots rged Wright it was a He to or was a Lancaster eounty murderer, but that county had sent him to Otos county to be hanged, “But you didn't hang him!" shoutel Me- Kesson. “Well, 1t wasn't torted Watson “No, it was more likely the fault of the Nebraska City lawyer who prosecuted him,” sail McKesson, and the senate laughed at Watson. Sloan said that, as ho remembered history, there had been several vile murders in er county within the past few years. suggested that the county had probably failed to hang the murderers because the lawyers had hung the jurors. Stewart proposed to strike out everything after the enacting clause, and substitute a bill abolishing capital punishment. His amendment was rejected, Tho bill was then recommended for passage The committee rose at 5:30, and the senate adjourned, Lancaster's fault,” re- ROBINSON'S CAUSE LOR ACTION, Quoer Condact of a York Man Followed by a Sult for Damage: Neb,, March pecial)—The suit of Robinson against Brown is tried in the district court of this county today. The action is a suit for $10,000 damages for allenating the affections of a wife. The facts of the case scem to be about as follows: Robinson and wife reside near the village of Gresham, this county Robinson having deserted her and family, which consisted of two small children, they had no visible means of support, and went to live with her mother. Brown, who resi near their place, employed Mrs, Robinson to come and keep house for him, he being an unmarried man, and having several em- ployes staying at his home. Mrs. Robinson went to his home, taking with her her chil dren. Things ran_along smoothly for a time, when Mrs. Robingon commenced a di- vorce suit against her husband. He having returned, the suit was dismissed and th went to living together again. He again de- serted her, and she was again taken up by Brown. Robingon having once more re- turned, he raised a great deal of trouble, which ‘preyed on the mind of Mrs. Robinson to such an extent that she became insane and was taken to the insane asylum at Lin- coln. Robinson then commenced the above suit. Mrs. Robinson has since been re- turned, and s apparently well. She is a mere girl, and it is no wonder that all this trouble affected her mind. The affair has caused a great deal of comment, espectally in the village of Gresham, where both parties in the controversy formerly resided.
