It was stated today that already Represen
tative McKcighan nas hearing from his con
stituents upon the subject of Us Urifl speech
in the house yesterday , wherein he defied
the wishes of those of bis sugar beet pro
ducers Wio had asked him not to press his
proposition to repeal the s-jgnr bounty fea
ture of tLo McKinley tariff bill and mane
ucar absolutely free , Mr McKeighan re-
Tuxes , however , to be Intiuancod in that re
spect by any ot hit constituents. Ho says
be will not support a sugar bounty tu tbo in
terest of his constituents or anybody ol o ,
und no amount of threats fron :
D et growers or sugar manufacturer *
will turn him from his position.
In short , Mr. McKelgnan doe % not propose
to represent tbo specific interests of Ne
braska or anybody in it. He fools that ho
owes a duty to tbe country at larre first , and
that the country is opposed to any encourage-
-tnent n taatover to the beet sugar industrv.
Thus the representative of tbf old Second
district of Nebraska has grown in his views ,
and thus he becomes a representative at
large for the United Stales per so instead of
the humble state in which bo resides.
Slllrncr for Un eateil 'i
A very unusual bill has Just been reported
favorably to the senate from the committee
'on ' claims by Senator Vllos , and boars the en
dorsement of at least a majority of that body
It is to pay the mileage of on unseated mem
ber of a territorial legislature. It probably
bas no parallel and is thus interesting for
rjuoro reasons than ono. William H. Hbott
, nnd George M. Shearer wore candidates lor
the county of Idaho , in the then territory of
.Idaho , for represontatlvo to the legislature at
the election held in November , 1S74 , and the
canvassing board gave Shearer the certificate
Tbo legislature assembled on tbo 7th of
December. 1SS4 , and the claimant re-con
tested the seat succesifuliy , so that on tbe
ICth of December , the tenth day of tbo ses-
, _ ion. be was seated in place of Shearer. The
bouse of representatives , however , by a resolution
elution passed on that dav. declared Shearer
entitled to the mileage and ten days' per
diem allowed by law , and the territorial sec
retary paid such mileage and per diem to
Sbearcr accordingly and ithheld the amount
from the claimant HhetL
Theory of the Subject Explained.
Tno senate committee through Mr. Vilas ,
In reporting the bill , says "Not only ac-
oordinc to the general usage of legislative
bodies in uch cases , but according to tbe in-
utruction to territorial secretaries by the
Treasury department Mr Hheltvas entitled
to tbo per diem from tbe beginning of the
session and to his mileage , as was also Mr.
Snearer to what ho received. The territorial
secretary made the mistake of supposinc
that he could not pay two for the same ser
vice. "
A letter from the first comptroller of the
treasury addressed to the sub-committee
\rho bad tne bill particularly under consid
eration , shows the facts of the cose to bo
that bo w as clearly entitled to the sum of
F-'SS , the same amount which was paid to
Shearer , being 522S for mileage and fGO for
per diem. According to tna circular letter
of instructions to territorial sfecretaries is
sued Iroa the first comptroller's office and
accompanying the first comptroller's letter.
Heir Prohibition Prohibit * .
Mr. B. F. Tllllnghast , editor of the
Davenport flowa ) Democrat , now here ,
ays : "Prohibition will D-S Just as much an
issue as ever in Iowa , because tbe legislature
has made it so by refusing to take action
Prohibition U a failure in Iowa. In Daven
port thcra are 250 saloons open , and in Du-
Duquc , Burlington and Dei Motiics saloons
, re running all the time. Most of them in
Des Moines are run as blind tigers , but it is
no trouble to get a drink The silver ques
tion and tbe tariff will be the other issue.
Tbe state will be for Boies first and Cleve
land second for president. They are opposed
to Hill. If Hill should be nominated the
state would go republican by 30,000. "

That the manufacturers had acted with rea

L. frtrans to pay any and ah balances in his

The following resolution , presented by Mr.

inp vote
Whereas , President A. I , Stmns has per
sistently fulled to perform his duties as presi

for a period of more than tnree months and

A committee on the revision of the by-laws
was appointed. Messrs. Mobley , Weiss and
Gale \\cro appointed as such committee and
they were instructed to make their report at
tbe next meeting.
The matter of the adoption of plans for tbe
state building was deferred until the nest
meetint : in order to allow architects who
have already submitted plans to complete
their specifications and estimates.
The commission then adjourned to meet at
Omaha at a date fixed upon by the commis
sioner general.

in a telegram received from Houston , Tex. ,
PresidentStrang of tne Nebraska Columbian
commission tenders his resignation to Gov

How a Kearney liank "as Wrecked.
The failure oftho Commercial and Snvincs
bank of Kearney has already been recorded
In tbo e columns itccoiver GlbBons filed his
first official report with tbe dork of the su
preme court this afternoon. It disclo-.es the
peculiar methods which were in vogue at the
Kearney institution and shows the manner
in is hich the business of the defunct bank
was conducted. In his reporttho receiver
savs.
In comnlianco 1th the order of the court I
be ? leave to submit the follow Inc report for
your consideration Tne following amount in
notes and other nominal assets have been
turned over to me-

The original notes Include those of John

ment company by fa , S. St. John us
secretary to tbe amount of EQ.1H9.
nil da ted January 3J , ISUi due in June and

Herrand , assistant cashier , to the amount of
JJ.MS.
The Burnt ! notes are secured by 100 shares
of stock. In tbe "Nebraska. Land companv. "
which company is owned almost , if not alto
gether , by John Barnd , and two notes are
endorsed by L. N. st. John , secretary of the
Security Land company " These two notuc
amount to IVi j. I do not consider the
security or endorsements any better than the
not-ei
The notes of tne Mutual Loan and Invest
ment company have no security behind them ,
while Uertrand's notes are virtually un
secured. The "notes on Judament" I consider
of little if ot any account The "oxerdrufts"
are about half bank errors that have been
accounted for in this way instead of proUt
und loss , and the other half , with tbe excep
tion of a ( ew dollars , is overdrafts by stock
holders and ofllcers of the bank The "fur
niture and fixtures" probably can realize
about one-half ot tbclr nominal value.
Of the f 1J.W1.4J ( balance of notes after do-
ductlmr notes of officers of the bank ) 1 find
f7.'MO past due. Of this amount t. are past
due over one your , and of the balance fl.275
are past due over six month * . These notes as
a whole I consider the poorest kind , and it
seems incredible that men with any business
capacity or who nnd arijr desire for the safety
of other people's money could pretend to loan
il as seems to have been done.

named above by which the latter were

who evidently had a premonition ot the com
ing disaster , unloaded their bunk clock upon
Barnd and received in return a block of the
Mutual Loan and Investment company
stock as well as a large amount of
tbeir notes which had been held by tbe
bank. According to Receiver Gibbon's peti
tion the investment stock is of con Ideraolo
value , while tbe bank stock is comparatively
xvorthlesa After tbu panics named in the
petition bed transferred their load of bank
stock from tboir oivn shoulders to Barnd's
they very prudently resigned and left tbo
latter to carry the responsibility of tbe bank
failure ,

The secretaries of the State Board of
Transportation were at Uulo yesterday and
today to investicate the complaints of tbe
citizens of that place , which have been pend
ing before tbo board forsomo time. The Hulo
people complained that the B. , k M. rail
road , in constrnctinc its line tnroutrh their

found upon tbeir arrival that tbe matter was
in a fair way to bo amicably adjusted with
out further legal proceedings They also
found that it would ba perfectly imnractica-
"
bio to open thn street as demanded" by the
'
citizens' as it would necessitate a deep cut in
the heart of the town and make an exceed
ingly dangerous crossing to the public.
