Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,

smallest run of cattle for about three
weeks put in Its appearance here Mon
day, arrivals counting out about 253
loads. There were no strictly choice
or prime cattle In the yards here Mon
day, and very few that could be grad

$11.05. The larger part of the receipts
were of the fair to medium grades and
the offerings even of such were not
very large. Demand was very brisk,
however, and fully 10c higher than the
close of last week, and everything hid
changed hands at an early hour. Of

(Continued from page 1)
House Roll 33, the bill which will
compel railroad companies to pay
tehir employes twice each month,
has gone through the House and the
Senate railroad committee and is
now on general file in the Senate. It
will undovihtedly.be acted upon with
in n few days and stands in a fair
way to become a law. Shannon of
Omaha and Thomas of Alliance, the
backers of the bill, have gone as far
as they can with it and final action
U now tip to the Senate. Senator
Adati s has the bill under his wing
and will undoubtedly be able to get
it through.
The Nebraska senate upheld the
hands of Lieutenant Governor Edgar
Howard, when a test vote came Fri
day morning the burst of flame af
ter a smoldering sentiment had pre
vailed for some time in certain quar
ters that the lieutenant governor, as
presiding officer of the senate, had
been too arhltravy In his holdings.
The vote stood 13 to 12 against an
appeal from the decision of the
chair, who held that no members
could under the rules designate who
should preside over committees of
the whole, except the president of
the senate.
Eleven thousand acres of sale
springs land In Lancaster county,
worth probably $2,000,000 on the
market, should revert back to the
state, according to a, report of the
committee on school lands and funds
made to the Nebraska senate.
This land from ten townships sur
rounding Lincoln has been sold in
the course of the last three decades
for approximately $165,000 and
sold illegally, the committee says.
"It is our conviction that these
lands are the property of the state,"
the committee concludes, "and that
immediate action should be taken to
regain and retain possession of the
same."
The report was in compliance with
a special communication from Land
Commissioner G. L. Shumway to the
senate and the house of representa
tives, requesting that these branches
investigate and give him an opinion
as to whether the lands sold should
be still considered as belonging to
the state.
The senate message was referred
to the committee on school lands and
funds, of which Snator John A. Rob
ertson of Holt Is chairman. Other
members are William Soost of Ced
ar, W. L. McAllister of Antelope,
Charles W. Ileal of Custer and Willis
Wilson of Frontier.
The committee found that saline
(lands, selected and confirmed under
: the constitution of Nebraska, totaled
' originally 45,594 acres. About 17,
i 500 acres were sold by Governor
Butler without legislative action.
The Bates bill to legalize boxing
I in Nebraska, House Rcl! 22, was
killed Thursday morning for the
want of only one vote It was killed
in committee of the whole in the
House by a vote of 4 8 to 47. Five
members were absent when the vote
was taken. They were Auten, Deal,
Cronin, Harris of Buffalo, and Todd.
In the defeat of the Andersen bill,
11. II. No. 9, which failed of passage
In the house Thursday afternoon, the
proposition to sell off the state's
school lands, met the same fate that
has alwayB befallen it at previous
sessions of the legislature. This
time, however, It came nearer going
through than ever before.
Had it not been that the house,
Just previously to voting on the An
dersen bill, had passed the Bates
measure providing for a redistribu
tion of 10 per cent of each semi-an-liUal
state Rchool apportionment, giv
ing to each county an amount pro
potionate to the acreage and value
of its school lands, the sale proposal
would undoubtedly have carried. As
it was, H. R. No. 9 lost with 4 8 votes
for it and 49 against.
The Bates bill, II. II. 297, passed
by the vote of 58 to 33. Many of the
Andersen bill's supporters cast their
votes for "the Bates measure, fearing
to antagonize it lest in doing so they
might arouse more antagonism to
their own plan.
! It seemed to be the majority sen
jtlment of the house that the passage
of the Bates hill takes care of the
western and northern counties where
there is a large acreage of school
