The senate went into committee of the whole on bills on general file, with Caldwell in_tho chair. Watson's bill providing that the charges for a telegraph message of ten words shall not be more than 25 cents from any point in Nebraska to any other point in Ne- braska was taken up. Pope moved that the bill be recommitted to the committee on miscellaneous corporations, Dale sald he could see no objeet in sending the bill back to a committee room. Any amendments necessary could be made by the committec of the whoie Pope replicd that personally he was against the bill and would, if the senate desired it, move that the bill be indefinitely postponcd. He sald (hat thero was no necessity for the passage of such a bill. The telegraph com- panies had furnished the state thousands of dollars worth of telegraph messages during the past few months, all the telegraph work of the Senate Relief commission having been done free of charge. It would certalnly be an act of ingratitude for the state now to turn around and pass the bill undor consider- ation, AU Watson's request the bill was sent back to the judiclary committee, FIGHTING THE PAPER PIPES, The cigarette bill then came up for a lively discussion. The bill was introduced by Hahn and prohibits the sale or manufacture of clgarcttes. It Is quite comprehensive in epite of its brevity. The entire bill is con tained in the following paragraph: Hercafter no_person, firm, assoclation or corporation in the state shall manufacture, sell, keep for sale, give or furnish (o any perfon cigarcttes or the material for their composition; that ny son 10 this state wviolating the provis of this act a1l be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, 1 shall, upon conviction by e Jurisdiction, h> fined for cach offense $100, of which §#5 shall be paid (o the informer. A lengthy debate took place ever the prop- osition advanced by Grabam, He claimed that the bill as it stood prohibits the xale of tobacto. He offercd an amendment which he thought would obviate the difficulty Pope favored the bill, but he wanted it so amended that it would be effective instead of a dead letter upon the statute bLooks. Akers spoke vigorously in favor of the general provision of the bill, and told the senate how many thousand young men in Nebraska were rapidly becoming mental and physical wrecks because of the use of clg arettes, Mekechy opposed the bill as it stood. He did not approve of clgarette smoking, but he did poi believe in striking another blow at the busiuess interests of Nebraska, when by 80 doing no benefit to the people of the state would accrue. He wanted the bill amended s0 to permit Nebraska firms to sell the article for ehipment to other states. During the debute Akers brought foto the senate chamber small, weazen-faced bootblack, who, grinning broadly and pufing vigorcusly at a clgarette, walked up the center alsle, Akers placed his hand on tho boy's head and called attention to him as a horrible ex- ample.

The com- mittea will repert tomorrow, and it is said that it has agreed to favorably report house roll No. 417, a bill by Hairgrove, which as cffectually knocks out the valued policy law as did the one rejected by the committeo a few days ago for fiat repeal. But the present house has @ way of paying slight attention to the report of a committee on important meas- ures. The house will turn down houss roll No. 417 as effectually as did the committee the bill for straight repea. The claims committee met tonight, but did ot decide to make any report tomorrow. It has been wrestling this evening with legislative supply bills. Accord- ing to onc of the committee, ex-Secretary of State Allen appears to have put almost every man to work cleaning up the state house who applied to him. No price was named, but when the laborer put in his bill Grennell, the head janitor, O. K.'d it, and Allen did the same.” The committee has had a number of these workingmen before it and made them swear to their clalms. A reduciton has been made in a number of cases, There is some talk among the members of the committee about passing a resolution by the house appointing Secretary uf State Piper custodian of the great amount of property in tho shape of furniture bought by Allen with instructions to take charge of it and lock it up after adjournment.

It all went to show that the wreck was caused by human agency Sensational evidence Is expected about Wednesday, when the state will attempt to connect the defendant, George Washington Davis, with the wreck of the Rock Island train in August last and the destruction of eleven human lives. 0. D. Ramey was the first witness examined this morning. He is agent of the United States Express company at Lincoln. He said that the condition of the rails as he found them indicated that they had been tampered with. W. E. Painter had made an examination of the rails 1 was positive that they had been dis- 1 by human agency, but would not swear on cross-examination, that they might not have been removed subsequent to the wreck J. H. Humpe corroborated all of the preced- ing testimony. R. L. Gardner, a guard at the penitentiary, reached the wreck about an hour after it happened, and saw and talked with the de- fendant there. Witness said that Davis had a wild-eyed look and asked witness what would likely be done with the right man should he be caught. Gardner had told him that no punishment, in his opinion, would be too cruel for such a person. He thought, from his demeanor, that the negro W very rest- less and nervous though uneasy in his mind. Prior to that night witness had never scan Davis. On cross-examination witn id he saw a number of men standing around with no coats on, as it was a hot night. Some were working, others were standing around. Among the latter was Davis ONE OF DAVIS' STORIES. WVilliam Wernas, laborer, said that he went to the wrick in a back with Cha les Raymond, Had scen Davis, and asked for Davis returned with them in the and had said he was riding in the smoking car vhen the wreck occurred. Davis had told that he had brought the lantern from ney. Cheyney, of the Hub clothing house, d in the afterncon. Ilc said the Ce- it had come into the store to buy a shirt on the morning after the wreck. The defendant said he had been working all night at the wreck with Harry Foote. He told Cheyney that he would like to have had a riflo and shoot the man who caused the wreck, and that nothing was too bad for him. Davis had said he came from tne wreck on a hand car. Louis Ryan said the Unlon™ Pacific August 8, and had 300 feet 'from the man had a crowbar be a gunny sack. that he was walking on track on the evening of overtaken a party about penitentiary road. The and what appeared tc He could not swear whether it was a crow or a clawbar. The man resembled the defendant and had a slow, shambling gait. The man had turned off the road and moved away to an old house. THEORY OF THE DEFENSE. George Botts said that he, in company with Attorney Altschuler, had gone to this old house and found a basket, some chicken ads and a gunny sack. Court adjourned at 4 o'clock, as other witnesses for the state were not present. It is said that Halton, the ex-section fore- man, who was arresied by the Rosk Island company for fraudulently carrying the name of his brother on the company's time books, will be brought back and subpoened for the state to deny any imputations of the defense that the Rock Island wreck was caused by carelessness on the part of any of its em- ployes in allowing the track to get out of re- pair. The defense, it is sald, will account for the presence of Davis at the wreck on the theory that he was on a chicken stealing expedition with the sack in which he is sup- posed to have carried the monkey wrench and other tools with which the bolts were drawn. NORTH LOUP BAPTISTS CELEBRATE Old-Time Soclable to Be Held at the Church Next Saturday Evening. NORTH LOUP, Neb., March 11.—(Special.) —One of the most pleasing social events on the boards for the comirg week is zn iaformal, old-time sccial, to be held at the Baptist church on next Saturday evening. The peo- plo of this denomination were the first to settle in this beautiful valley, over twenty-two years ago, during which time but few, if any, interruptions have occurred in the regu- lar preaching service or Sabbath school, the attendance at the latter alone averaging, for a long time past, over 100 members, A continued cause of congratulation among the people lere is the almost unexampled openness of the winter up to date, as noth- ing could so well have suited a locality suf- fering from so great a shortage of rough feed and grain. There have been, it is true, a number of light snows, but the greatest of them disappeared in a few hours and left the ground in a condition so that the horses and cattle, which are depending on the wild or netive pasture, could get sufiicient to answer as an excellent substitute for cured and cked hay. Few countries can show a record mere favorable than this in that re- spect. There are a number of considerable herds in this vicinity now that have not had a mouthful of hay nor a pint of any kind of grain all winter, yet are now looking sur- prisingly well, and, if the open weather con- tinues, will go through the winter without a cent’s worth of expense save the necessary attendance. The Loup Valley District Medical society, of which F. D. Haldeman, M. D., of Ord, is president, and C. B. Coffin, M. D., of this city, is seerctary, will hold its ninth regular meeting at St Poul, Neb., at the office of Dra. Grothan & Grothan, on Tuesday, March 12, Afternoon and evening sessions will be held, to which all’ regular physicians are in- vited. The members of this socicty make thelr meetings desply interesting to the pro fession by the discussion of live and current topics relating to the various departments of medical science, and they are not at all aver. to winding up their meetings with a banquet, at which many viands strictly forbidlen to their dyspeptic patients play an important part.

Father Sylvester Malone of Brooklyn, has just reached fere from Rome. It comes in a letter written to a state officlal by Gen- eral George S. Batchelor of oga, for- merly minster to Portugal, in which General Batchelor detalls a most noteworthy inter- view with the pope. In this interview Pope Leo spoke in the most grateful way of the election of Father Malone as regent. General Batchelor saw the pope the last week in February, when his holiness was represented as being in feeble healtn, but says that he seemed not to be en- feebled at all General Batchelor writes that the led the conversation to America and said that his encyclical was at that time in the United States, and would on that same day be given to the public. He sald he himself had care fully revised the English translation. The pope expressed regret that certain newspapers and public men fn America had objected to his tending a delegate to Washing ton or sending out an encyclical as tending to meddle with the affairs of a foreizn gov- ernment or with institutions with which he ympathy is an error sald the pope. “I do not seek to meddle with governments except to admonish my people to obey the civil law and to conform to the authority of the land in which they dwell. 1 sent a legate to America in order that T might be better s formed as to the character of American in« stitutions and the peculiarities of the national nd state governments, and above all, to cconcile any conflict, it there be any,’ bes tween my church and’ the government of the Land, I cor country.
