LINCOLN, Neb., June 22.—(8pecial.)—The valldity of the constitutional amendment under which the legislature has acted for sixteen years In holding sixty-day sessions and the members thereof in drawing $5 & day us their pay, was seriously challenged in district court this morning when the suit brought by Robert Ryan, former su- preme court commissloner, against Auditor Weston to reitrain further payment of vouchers to members calling for % a day came up for hearing before Judge Holmes Mr. Ryan insists that he is acting merely out of duty to his profession in order that the written eonstitution may not be im- paired with fmpanity, but there is a strong suspicion that other motives are behind the action. One of ths theories is that the revenus hill enacted at the last session is aimed a*. It was Introduced at a period later taan the old limit of the constitution permiited bills to be flled, and If the con- tention of Ryan is upheld, the revenue law, together with many otbers, will fall by the wayside. The clalm of Ryan fs that the legisla- ture has no power to canvass the votes cast on conetitutional amendments. The ons ir question was submitted at the reg- ular eiection in 188. On the face of the returns, filed with the secretary of state, the amendment falled of passage. In the stipulation of facts filed it was agresd that by the constitution of 1575 the compensation of members of the legisla- ture was fixed at $8 a day for a session of only forty days duration and that at the general election in November, 1885, there was duly submitted a proposed amendment whereby the compensation was Increa to $ a day for a session of sixty da It was stipulated that the secretary of state's wecords show that there had been cast, according to the abstracts of votes in his office for the amendment 65,712 votes and against it 22,236 and that the total cast at the election was 13851l That the legislature met in joint convention Jan- uary 6, 1887, and canvassed the returns, declaring the amendment lost and as a joint convention adjourned sine die. On February 15 a bill providing for a recount of the votes cast was introduced. It passed ‘both houses and was approved by the gov- ernor. A recount was had and it was de- clared that there had been cast for the amendment 72,487 votes and against it 22.- 135, that of these not voting there were 2178 and of those voted for and against the amendment there were 16,013.

Paroles Defaulting Treasurer, The fact has just gained publicity that Governor Mickey nearly & month ago paroled A. B. Norlin, ex-treasurer of Kear- ney county, who was sent to the peniten- tlary for six years for embezzlement of county funds. Norlin came to the peni- tentlary July 12, 1802 His sentence, with good time deducted, will expire December 10, 126. He is paroled to John Bjorklund to work on the latter's farm near Minden for §20 a month. Norlin's case was peculiar. It was an- no.nced one morning thut the office o the county treasurer had been robbed and the county treasurer assaulted therein. The story looked plausible until Detective Ma- lone of Lincoln went out and investigated, when It was found that certain indications pointed to the probability that Norlin had robbed the vault and then assaulted him- self. After having been In the sweatbox for a time Norlin broke down, admitted that such was the case aud conducted the officers to where a lot of the stolen money was secreted in a cornfield. After he had made a clean breast of the matter he insisted that he wanted to begin serving out the penalty as quickly as pos- sible. He plesZed gullty and was brought CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 22.—(Special.)— At last there is light ahead in the Horn| case and the hundreds aud thousands of people throughout the country who have watched the celebrated murder trial for over a year will soon be rewarded with a final decision in the matter. The state, through Prosecuting Attorney W. R. Stoll of Laramie county, has its brief almost finished, and it will be filed in the supreme court on Wednesday, July 1. It is expected the court will set a date for the argu- ments to be heard early in July. These arguments will consume about two days and it s predicted that the court, while giving the case very careful consideration, will have reached a conclusion some time about the middle of August, when Horn's application for a new trial will either bo denled or granted. If the petition !s de- nied, Horn will immediately be resentenced to be hanged The only thing then left for Horn is an appeal to Governor Chatterton for executive clemeney. The state has prepared its case with great care, as have also the attorreys for Horn, and the outcome will be awalted with deep Mra. Maria C. Bibbs of Boon has been ap- pointed state chairman of forestry for Towa for the General Federation of Women's clubs. 8he also holds the office of chairmun of the state village improve- ment committee and when the second ap- pointment was made Mrs. Bibbs announced that she could not fill both offices. Rather than have the department go from her efficient supervision, it has been requested by the General Federation of Women's clubs chairman of forestry that the name of the village Improvement committee be changed, or added to the forestry mittee so that Mrs. Bibbs might continue to direct ft. This was not deemed ad- visable, however, but resulted in Mrs. Bibbs consenting to fill both offices The Ladies’ Literary soclety of Waterloo, Ia., has recently completed the twenty-fifth year of its study, and now that definite communication between cfubs has been Many at Missionary Meeting.

Rhea Case Troublesome. The executive mall continues to be bur- dened with petitions and remonstrances for and against the execution of William | Rhea and a great deal of maudiin sent- ment is finding expression both around the governor's office and at the peniten- tiary. There are, as usual in such cases, many women who are inclined to gush, and it is exciting comment that among those who vieit the penitentiary to see and sympathize with him are several fem!- nine employes at the state house. The pressure being brought to bear upon the governor, how: is not harmoniously of one mind, by any means. There are many remonstrances against any disturb- | ance of the action of the courts and jury being recelved, and among them was one today from the Board of Supervisors of Dodge county, who represented to the gov- ernor that Rhea had had the benefit of a falr and impartial trial and was not titled to any clemency. Among the communications recelved are several from members of the jury that convicted Rhea. One of these has written | the governor that he had not favored the | death penalty and had hung out against it for a long time alone, but finally came around to acquiesce iIn it because it was urged that to send the man-to the pen- ftentiary for life would simply mean that he would be pardoned before death and the purpose of the jury and the law would thus be defeated. There is apparent reason to believe that the efforts of the petitions for Rhea's com- mutation have not succeeded in convincing the governor that the responsibility for Rhea's death will rest on him. He seems to be reliant upon the conviction that the responsibility rests with the courts and the Jury.
