The report of Secretary McDonald of the executive committee showed that this body had not been ldle since its formation a month ago. Jt told of the efforts of the committee to jnduce the South Omaha pack- ing houses to establish cooling or supply stations in this city in place of delivering meat by open wagon from Omaha. Bat one of the packing houses has agreed to com- ply with the wishes of the dealers in this city, the others protesting on the ground of expense. The committee in its report states It has several enterprises in view, among the number being a horse collar tactory, which will emplo§ from fitty to seventy-five people; a shoe factory, which will give employment to 500 hands, and other projects which the committeo is not prepared to make public at this time. It told of the steps taken to form a manu- facturers’ and jobbers' assoclation for the purpose of organizing trade excursions. It also referred to the abandonmen* of Coun- cil Bluffs by the Union Pacifiic as its terminal and urged that (he city take the matter up at onoe, L. M. Shubert brought the matter of inde- | pendent teléphome lines before the meeting and suggested that the club take steps to induce the independent companies in this section of the state to establish an ex- change in this city. Dr. Macrae also spoke on the ame matter, urging the necessity of connection with these independent com- panies. A communication was read from the As- soclated Charities in which that organiza- | tion told of its need for a suitable bullding and suggested that the Commercial club erect such a bullding and lease it to the assoclation until such time as it can raise the money to pay for it. Such a bullding as was needed, the assoclation wrote, would cost bout $8,000. This and the matter of the independent telephone companies were | referred to the proper committees.

The inquest over BEddie Madsen, the 18- year-old boy who was clectrocuted Tuesday afternoon as a result of climbing one of the electric light ~ompany's poles, resulted in the jury bringing in a verdict in which no blame was attached to the company. At the same time the jury recommended that the Electric Light company place dan- ger signals on its poles carrying heavy voltage wires. It aleo discussed a recom- mendation that the company be required to place its wires underground, but as the members were not agreed on this subject it was not included in the verdict. Charles Swalne, Ovide Vien and Willilam Roper comprised the jury. , Horace Greer, L. Harle, Kenneth Harmon and Earl Hart, the lads who were playlng with §ddie Madsen at the time of the acci- dent, testified. Their stories corroborated the statement made by Greer shortly after the accident. Alderman Israel Lovett, who is an electrician, testified that he was a* the scene of the accident a few minutes after the death of the boy and made an in- vestigation. He found that the pole steps etarted eight feet from the ground, so that the boy must have climbed on the fence or adjoining shed to have reached the first step. Electriclans, he testified, considered any wire with a volt of 1,000 or more as a live wire regardless of insulation. E. A. Sweet, electrician of the Citizens' Gas and Electric company, testified that the wires which voung Madsen caught hold of carried a current of 2,300 volts. He de- scribed the manner in which the two wires were scorched at the points where young Madsen grasped them. The funeral will be held this morning at 11 o'clock from Trinity Methodist churck. Burial will be in Falrview cem- etery. Rev. A. E. Burift will conduct the services. Matters in Distriet Court. In the suit brouht by J. P. Greensheilds as administrator of the estate of Mrs. Martha Fox against the motor company a Judgment for $300 was entered. She was run down and killed by a motor car on Avenue A about two years ago. In the personal injury suit of Henry J. Joseph against Charles A. Machan judg- ment for the plaintiff in the sum of $75 and costs was entered by agreement. Joseph sued for $1,50C for iajuries alleged to have been recelved from a wagon driven by the son of the defendant colliding with the buggy in which plaintiff was riding.

JAMES WALKER GETS LIMIT OF THE LAW Judge Given in Passing Sentence Makes Severe Stricture on Both Walker and Harry Levich, (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 4.—(Special.)—The board of directors of the State Department of Agriculture held a meeting today for regular business, and among other things appointed a committee to confer with the board of trustees of the State college at Amer In regard to the selection of a presi- dent for that institution. The committes appointed consists of ex-Governor Packard, Marshalltown; C. W. Phillips, Maquoketa, and John Ledgerwood, Leon. It is the sentiment of the State Board of Agricul- ture that the president selected should be Prof. 8. F. Curtles of the chair of animal husbardry of the college, and this com- mittee was appointed with a view to urging upon the college board the selection of Prof Curtiss. The trustees have made no progress whatever in the selection of a president of the college to succeed the late Dr. Bearshear. The committee of tho | board assigned to investigate has never { made any kind of report on the subject, | for no person has been found whom the committee would care to recommend. The name of Prof. Curtiss was suggested at the outset, but at that time it was be- lieved he would be more useful in his present position, where he has given the college a nallonal standing, and he pre- ferred to remain there. But the sentl- ment among the agricultural classes ot the state has been {urning toward Prof. Curtiss and it is belleved now he will be selected. Walker Gets the Limit. In the district court today Judge Given sentenced James Walker, colored, to eight years In the penitentiary for the murder of Isaac Finkelstein, on conviction for man- elaughter. The judge, in passing sentence, was especlally severe on the defendant, declaring his belief that the evidence had shown him to be gullty of entering into a conspiracy with Harry Levich to kill Finkelstein and to have actually done the deed. The judge scored Levich, who has already been acquitted on the same charge, and declared that the evidence in this case showed beyond any doubt that it was Levich who employed the colored man to kill Finkelstein, and the motive for it was found in his unreasoning hatred of the dead man. These declarations of the court created a sensation, as they were unex- pected and somewhat contrary to popular belief, and there are Indications that some effort will be made to prosecute Levich in some other way for his part in the crime. Exposition Commission Meets, The lowa commission of the St. Louls exposition met this afterncon and trans- acted general business. 'the commission divided up the money that was left after the contract for the state bullding had been approved and made appropriations for the different departments. The reports of the chairmen of the different committees were read and considered, and each member ated what was desired f the way of specisl features. The contract for the. building at $34,000 was approved and signed by the contractors. New Fraternal Company.

D, March 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—With the closing days of the see- slon at hand the senate is passing up talk and rushing bills. It, unlike the house, has nO measures to resurrect, as It passes everything which comes along and does it without talk cleared that body of the necessity of morn- Ing sessions. At today's session the senate passed the senate bill to create county and town boards of health; the general appro- priation bill; an appropriation for a sewer at the deaf mute school; a deficlency ap- propriation for employes of the senat empowering boards of charities and of re- gents of education to expend money for in- surance of buildings in course of erection. House bills passed as laws by the senate were the appropriation for the deat mute school; for the Madison Normal. The Spearfish Normal bill was tangled in some manner yesterday and again taken up today and given first and second readings and made a special order for tomorrow, when it will pa: It also passed the Springfield Normal; State university; Yankton asylum the penitentiary, and the St. Louls fair ex- hibit. Besides these appropriations house bills were passed carrying deficiencles for Spearfiish, the penitentiary and other insti- tutions. The Ninth circuit bill was passed after defeating several attempts to amend and that circult is pow assured, containing the counties of Beedle, Kingsbury, Spink and Miner. ‘ The house at fte morning session passed house bills authorizing the Board of Charl- ties to purchase certain lands at Redfield asylum; appropriating $2,000 for a cottage at the penitentiary; to prevent the unlaw- ful appropriation of stock on the free range; fixing terms of court in the Fifth circuit; providing for election of road overseers; ballot law; Inceasing the penalties for burglary. At the afternoon session of the house, on motion of Allen, the adverss committee report on the taxation of prod- ucts of mines was changed to a favorable report. A bill was introduced by the irrigation committee granting to the United States government a tract of land in Aurora county for artesian well purposes. Governor Herreld returned a veto on the bill which attempted to amend the liquor law by providing a penalty for buying liquor for a minor or inebriate, which veto was based on the ground that by changing words and punctuation the law would be a meaningless jumble of words and the effoct of the present law killed. The veto was sustained by a veto of 75 to 1. The bill to appropriate $10,000 for build- ings on the State fair grounds at Huron was called up and discussion cut off by the previous question. It failed to pass for lack of two-thirds majority, but reconsid- eration was reserved for tomorrow. The house went into committee of the whole on the general appropriation bill, in which Gross made a fight on several minor provisions, but the bill was adopted as re- turned by the committee with the exception of an addition making provisions for the Woman's Board of Inspection of Charitable and Penal Institutions. Price made a hard fight to secure an increase in the appropria- tion for the Yankton asylum, but failed. The bill passed by 74 to 2.
