The state board of public lands and
buildings has rejected all bids on the
construction of the proposed bjller ,
engine and pump house at the home
of the deaf and dumb at Omaha. This
action was taken by the board on ac
count of a misunderstanding as to
whether the contract for the construc
tion of the house Included the onck
work around the boilers. The specifi
cations , the bidders held , Indicated that
the work was not Included , but waste
to be done by the parties who set the
boilers In place. As the appropriation
of $7,700 made no extra provision for
the work , all bids were rojecto ; ! by
general consent with the understand
ing that they should bo changed to in
clude the brick work.

Congressman David H. Mercer re
turned Tuesday afternoon from Wash
ington , Hays the Omaha Boo , having
been detained there Bovoral weeks after
the adjournment of thu house by busi
ness of a political natuie necessitating
Ills attention.
"Sovuiul plums fell In Nubraska'H
lap when the appropriation plum tree
\va shaken , " Mr. Mercer remarked.
" 1 think wo received our Hlmru of the
dlHtrllmtlon. Omaha was given half
a million with which to complete the
now poHtollk-o and Blair got $13,000
for the erection of a public building.
HastlngH and Norfolk wore given $10-
000 each for the purchase of cites.
"This liiHt session of the hotiso was
a busy one , more appropriations hav
ing been made than at any previous
time nt a single Hitting. Seventy pub
lic buildings In different parts of the
United Statim were authorized , and In
this distribution thirty-five states were
represented , some of them for the first
time In the titulary of legislation.
Thirty-four cities wore given money
for public buildings , the total appro
priation being $14,000,000.
"Tho neighboring Btatce wore well
taken cnro of , Iowa having received
four appropriations , KansaB two , Colorado
rado one , and South Dakota one.
"On the committee on public build
ings and grounds many of the mem-
bora wore from the cast and south.
As I was chairman they gave me al-
moHt exclusive charge of ttie appro
priations , an opportunity to look out
for Individual intercuts.
"Among the buildings authorized
was a custom house for Now York to
cost $3,000,000 , also one for Baltimore
to coat $1.000,000 In phrco of the struc
ture that has been occupied by the
ciiBtoms ofllco since 1810. Indianapolis
received $1,500,000 and Cleveland , O. ,
which has received nothing since 185G ,
was given $2,500,000. There wore four
capital cltlea without buildings and
these wore provided for.
"Before leaving Washington I HO-
cured an order from the assistant post
master general for the establishment
of two rural delivery routes In Doug
las county. I tried to have routes of
this kind tried In Sarpy and Washing
ton counties alao , but the government
surveyors who located the routes re
ported last fall that the plan had bet
ter bo tried first In tills county , be
cause of tlio good roads and few
bridges. The centers of distribution
for these routes will bo Elk City and
Hanson. From each town 200 miles
of territory will be covered.
"This system has been tried In ether
states with great success. There IB no
reason why farmers should not have
as good mall delivery service as busi
ness men. I have been working for
the proposition for moro than a year ,
but there have been no available funds
"There Is no prospect of an extra
session of congress because the presi
dent Is opposed to such a move. With
respect to the speakorshlp everything
Is In the dark. No one lias definite
Information from Mr. Reed that ho
intends to withdraw from the race
for the speakorshlp or from member
ship In the house. The only hint on
the subject from an official source Is
one dropped by Mr. Rood's private
secretary , Mr. Alton , and that hint is
Indefinite. If Mr. Rood desires to be
speaker he will bo elected by common
consent , as all republicans realize that
Thomas Brackett Reed Is the greatest
speaker In the history of congrefla.
"I know that Mr. Reed has been
desirous for a long time of being In a
position to make more money. I would
not be surprised If he decided to en
gage lu the practice of law , as rumor
haa It. If he has made such a decision
the contest for his vacant chair will
be the most complicated and the most
Interesting one that ban taken place
for a good many years , for neither the
east nor the west IB united upon a
man for his successor. "

Governor Poynter has received in
formation from the war department
that the First Nebraska would sail
from Manila sonic time during the lat
ter part of the present month or early
In Juno. Several days ago the war de
partment was requested by telegraph
to allow transportation home for M.
W. Woodward of company D , now sick
in the hospital at Manila. This request
was not granted , as General Otis had
already been Instructed by the depart
ment to send homo wounded or sick
soldiers as soon as they are able to
travel. The reply of Acting Secretary
of War Melklojohu to the request loi.
lows :
"Dear Sir : I beg to acknowledge re
ceipt of your telegram of this date re
questing the discharge or M. n. vrooa-
ward of company D of the First Ne
braska volunteers , whom you state to
bo in the hospital at Manila. In reply
you are advised that I should be ex
tremely glad Indeed to comply with
your request In this matter wcro it
not for the fact that this soldlor Is
probably on his way at this time , General -
oral Otis having boon directed to send
homo sick and wounded soldiers ad
soon as they arc able to travel. In
any event , as the First Nebraska reg
iment will bo one of the first organiza
tions to embark from Manila ; having
sailed with the second expedition Juno
15 , 1898 , It is thought that if this young
man Is discharged now transportation
cannot be furnished him on any ves
sel leaving Manila prior to the date
fixed for the departure of his regiment ,
which Is scheduled to start for the
United States the latter part of this
month or early In June. "
Crop Summitry.
. The past week , says the last crop
report , has been dry and windy , with
about normal temperature. The aver
age dally temperature excess has been
ISOH than a degree. Frost occurred
In northern counties on the 12th , but
little damage was done.
Ino rainfall has been below normal ,
except In a few of the southeastern
counties , where It wns about normal.
Severe local rain storms occurred In
northeastern counties , covering , hrt\ >
over , but small nieus. In most parts
of the state tlio weekly rainfall was
less than a tenth of an Inch.
The dry weather and high winds of
the past week have been unfavorable
for the growth of oatB , wheat and all
vegetation , but excellent for the ad
vancement of farm work. Wheat , oats
and grass need more rain , but no seri
ous Injury has resulted as yet. The
stand of small grain Is uneven and
generally rather thin , and the growth
has been slow because of the dry
weather. Corn planting has progressed
rupldly , and Is Hearing completion in
southern counties and IB about half
done In most of the central and north
ern counties. The severe winter , fol
lowed by the dry spring , has been harden
on fruit trees and many have died.
Peach trees are damaged the most , and
ninny cherry trees huve been killed
also.
