The Investments of the defunct hank were
jiot of the chiiracter that will commend
themselves to hankers of shrewdness and
experience. Kor instance , the hank was
known to have held iOO.lXX ) stock in a com
pany owning pedigreed stallions , organl/ed
by , f. W. Small in Clay county , and which
afterward turned out to ho steel ; of the
most ordinary description. Then Moshcr
uud Outcalt held -iC.0.000 of { ho stock of
the Western Manufacturing company ,
which is the company engaged ju
handling convict labor at the
state penitentiary. The hank also
held Sy-i.l.MX ) of the gas and electric light
Block , the vice president of the hank being
president of the gas company. The hank
nlso hold .f'.i2r > 00 of its own stock and 28,000
in the Farmers and Merchants Insurance

capitalists in this city , 'the Southern Stave
and Lumber company came in for another

smallest amount of. stock held by the
bank was in the Nebraska Stock Yards com
pany at West Lincoln , the holdings in this
company amounting to $ T > , OCO. In addition
to all thc.su the bank is believed to , have hold
Hlock in timber lands in the south , in the
pri on contracts 'and In several other von- "
tnrcs nil well enough in their way , but of
scarcely the nature to bo handled by a bank
which has the intorcsts-of so many people
In Its keeping.
About the HtlUo Deposit.
State Treasurer Hartley desires to make n
correction as to the misunderstanding that is
prevalent regarding the liability of Ills bond
for the amount lost by the failure of the
bank. lie says that the special bond given
liy the bank is intended to cover just suuh
cases as this , and that the state will have no
recourse whatever against him or his bonds
men. Kn stated further that the bank's
bond was not approved by him , as ho has. .
nothing whatever to do in that connection ,
the approving board consisting of the gov
ernor , attorney general and secretary of
stale. If the bond given is not sulll-
cient the state will have to whistle Tor what
ever amount it may bo unable to realize from
the assets of the bank. Inasmuch as the
bond was for $700,000 ho was authorized to
deposit there a sum equal lo one-half of
that amount. When the onlco was turned
over to him the amount on deposit there was
RSS.iloT.Wi. During the week that ho has
been in ofllco ho has checked against that
to the amount of about $00,000 , which would
leave the state's interest in the deposits in
the defunct bank about $223,000 at the pres
ent time , as ho had made no deposits there
himself. lie says ho was reducing the deposit -
posit there because ordinary business
prudence and sagacity demaaded it , although
under the law ho could not have been cen
sured had ho increased it to $ 'iT > 0,000.
Only Stiitu Depository.
Ho said further that the Capital National
Is the only state depository in the city at
the present time , as none of the other hanks
had as yet llled their bond , and he could not ,
therefore , make interest drawing deposits in
any of the others. ' There wore slate funds ,
however , in the vaults of other banks of iho
city of Lincoln , hut it is for safe keeping ,
lu'cause of the inadvlsahlllty of leaving so
much money In the vaults of the treasurer's
ofllee.
The now law which became operative only
two weeks ago is being severely censured
because of the unfavorable light in which it
has been placed by the development In this
case. The treasurer expressed the belief
that had the bank continued solvent and the
legislature discovered that ho had with
drawn a portion of the state funds from
deposit , he would have been censured for
that action.
TrciiHiiror Iturtley's llond.
It may bo interesting in this connection to
print the bond of State Treasurer Hartley ,
which was approved by ( Jovernor Boyd .lamr
nry 5 and ny Governor Crounso January lf > .
The following are the bondsmen and the
amounts for which they qualified :

Ital National bank covers $ * r > 0,000. nnd Ills
stated that some of the remaining bondsmen
are not any too peed for the amount foi
which tho.V have qualllled.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 23. [ Special to TUB
Ilnn.J Immediately after the joint conven
tion had been called to order this morning
and the presence or absence of the members
indicated by the roll call , Senator North In
troduced a resolution to the effect that it
was the sense of iho Joint convention that
Inasmuch as there was some confusion In re
gard to the law governing the election of a
senator , that It bo the sense of the Joint con
vention that In order to Insure the legality of
the election of a Untied States senator that
sixty-seven votes be required for a majority.
Crane of Douglas raised the point of order
that if the law makes sixty-seven votes
necessary IJio resolution was unnecessary ,
and that If a less number could elect the law
could not bo changed or set aside by a ( nero
resolution.
Casper of Butler was of the opinion that
it would bo perfectly proper to adopt the
resolution. The adoption of the resolution ,
ho said , would avoid all question as to the
legality of the election.
Senator Pope staled that the United
States senate had , in several Instances ,
decided that it required a constitutional
majority of both branches of the legislature
to elect a United States senator , and In
reply to a question from Porter of Morrlck ,
the senalor cited the contest cases against
Warner Miller of Now York am' ' Trumbull
of Illinois.
Wiinted to Drier ( lie Mutter.
Senator Moore wanted time to investigate
the matter and claimed that no harm would
bo done if the consideration of the resolution
went over for one day. and made a motion to
that effect.
This gave Church Howe an opportunity to
make a vigorous suggestion. Ho was op
posed to the procedure contemplated by the
motion of Senator Moore , and wanted the
matter settled theu and there. The mem
bers of the Joint convention , ho said , wore
not afraid to meet the issue like men. The
majority ruled.
Senalor Everett was not only opposed to
deferring the matter , but ho was equally op-
iwsed to the adoption of the resolution. It
seemed to him that the law was so plain
that it could not bo misunderstood. If the
joint convention sot Itself up as a body to
construe the constitution of the United
States on so important u matter it would
soon make Nebraska the laughing stock of
ho entire nation.
Senalor Ciraham puggcsted lhat if the law
ays that u majority of those present at the
oint convention may elect it was certainly
mpropcr for the joint convention to make
ny other ruling.
Senator Moore still insisted upon his mo-
ion to defer , but the convention by a vote
f 0i ; to 110 voted not to defer the matter.
Only n .Majority ICeitulrvd.
Then the discussion was resumed with
nero animation than over. Senator Tofft
irought to the clerk's desk a copy of the
onstitution of the United States and re-
liieslcd that the provision relating to the
ilection of United States senators be read.
\fter the clerk had done so the senator from
} ass asserted with a great show of confl-
dcneo that the provision of the statute -just
cad was so plain that there was no excuse
'or the further consideration of the resolu
tion. '
Porter again took the door. lie assumed
.hat none of the gentlemen were discussing
, ho matter from the standpoint of politics.
Ho was pertain that . .hoyas not. . Ho felt
certain that it was of as much advantage to
the independents lo decide that thirty-live
ncmbcrs should elect as that slsty-soven
should bo required.
The lieutenant governor then read from
the report of the committee on privileges
uul elections in the contest case against
Warner Miller in New York and expressed
.t as his judgment that it required but a
Majority of the Joint convention to elect.
CJoss of Douglas moved that the entire
nutter bo referred to a committee of three ,
who should report upon the matter at the
: ioxt meeting of the Joint convention.
Indellnltely rontponed.
Elder raised the point of order that a
notion to defer hud been voted down only a
few moments previously. The point of order
wns sustained and the resolution indefinitely
: x > stponcd.
Povter of Merrick then raised another
luestion. He wanted to know if , under thn
opinion of the chair , the minority could pro
tect Itself by refraining from voting. Wat
son referred him to the ruling of Tom Ueed ,
and Porter retorted that it was for the pur
pose of getting a ruling from the chair on
that Infernal precedent that he made his
lnt of order.
Senator Dysart regarded the whole mat
ter as a sort of "now you see It , now you
don't hocus pocus , " and ho wanted the mat
ter dropped.
Speaking upon the qucstlon.of information
raised by Porter , McKesson declared that in
his opinion the chair could not be asked to
make u ruling on a hypothetical question ,
and the chair agreed with him.
Stevens then moved a recess until 3:00 : ,
but the chair decided the motion out of
order for tho. reason that the roll call had
been ordered. Barry appealed from the de
cision of the chair , and the chair reversed
himself under protest. The motion to take
a recess was then put amV overwhelmingly
defeated.

The roll call for United Slates senator was
then ordered , and resulted :

Votrd I'pon ' lloutlno Work.
LINCOLNNeb. . , Jan. 23. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BCB. ] In the house this morn-
ug , after eighty-seven members answered
rollcull , the following were appointed a com
mittee to employ experts to Investigate the
books of state oflleers : Fcllon , Rhodes and
Casper.
On motion of Johnson the house went Into
committee of the whole , with Oakley in the
chair , to consider house roll 112 , providing
for the recount of the votes cast for the con
stitutional amendments at Iho lust , general
election.
Jensen spoke urgently In favor of the bill
and u general discussion followed.
Horst believed that a recount would result
n the discovery of 100.000 votes.
McKesson favored a roeanvassof the votes
> y county boards in order to save the time
of the legislature.
Stevens created something of a stir by remarking
marking that the fact that the bill came
from the republican side of the house was an
evidence of fraud.
Jensen Hushed angrily , but contented him
self by saying : "I have no remarks to make
in answer to the gentleman. "
Then ex-Speaker Elder poured oil on the
troubled waters by sta'tim ? that in his
opinion Slovens was off his base.
Barry deprecated the personal turn the
discussion hud taken and then Porter
clinched the matter by saying that it would
bo cheaper to have Iho voles recounted than
to have the amendments resubmitted to the
people.
The committee then arose and , on motion
of Krusc , the report of the committee to tlio
effect that the bill bo engrossed for passage
was adopted.
I > lHuiitt.slii | ; Adjournment.
Barry staled that owing to the absence of
many members it would bo only fair to all
parties to take an adjournment until 10
o'clock tomorrow.
Oakley raised the point of order that the
motion was not in order , us it would be
necessary to take a ballot on United States
senator.
Barry claimed that ho was influenced
solely by a desire to bo fair , and that the
absence of several , members , of each party
made it advisable to adjourn.
Sodormun and Sheridan seconded the mo
tion , - ' . . - . . . it *
Howe nnd Cornish supported Oakley , and
Porter , who was in the chair , sustained the
point. '
"What if the call should show no
quorum ? " asked Barry , who was still light
ing."Then
"Then the vote for senator could not be
taken , " answered the chair.
'How about a call of the house and orderIng -
Ing the sciveant-at-urms to bring in the
members ? " suggested Howe.
The chair said ho know of nothing under
the Joint rules that provided for a call of the
house and Howe fainted. '
Speaker Gaflln resumed the ctiulr nnd
Barry determined to try It over again , for as
soon as Sutcr moved u recess until 11:50 :
ho amended with a motion to adjourn.
Horst raised a point of order on the sena
torial ballot , while Hhodes raised the point
that no intervening business had been
transacted since the prior consideration of
the mutter. Between the two , the chair
ruled Barry out of order , and the house took
a recess.
After Joint Sesfllon.
At the afternoon session of the house , res
olutions were Introduced by Elder requiring
the state house Janitor to clean the snow and
ice from the walks so that it would not bo
necessary to trample down the grass.
It was carried , after which bills were in
troduced and read the ttrst time as follows :
By Lockner , to regulate tlio size and shape
of common brick to bo used in the construc
tion of buildings In Nebraska ; by Elder , to

1IIIU Now I'emllni ; .
LINCOLNNob. . , Jan. 23. [ Special to
TUB BKI : . ] Quito a number of bills have
already been introduced to amend the laws
relating lo revenue and taxation , and it Is
moro than probable that many more yet re
main to bo brought up. The first one Is by
Church Howe and Is intended to prevent
the undervaluation of property by
assessors and the State Board of Equaliza
tion. It provides that any assessor who pur
posely assesses real or personal property at
less than its cash vuluo shall bo deemed
guilty of u misdemeanor and shall be Hubla
to u line in addition to damages to bo col
lected by the slate , county or local corpora
tion. It Is nlso made the duty of the Stale
Hoard of Eqnullzutlon to assess all railroad
and telegraph property at Its cash value ,
Uopresenlutivo Diekerson has borrowed
an idea from the Ohio cede and incorporated
it in house roll No. 88. It provides that every
person or company claiming to have funds
Invested in United States bonds must exhibit
thorn to the assessor , who shall make a record
of the number , value , denomination , oto.
Also thnt every person holding promissory
notes , mortgages or other evidence of credit ,
must exhibit the same to the assessor , who
Is required to stamp the same with u 'stamp
provided for the purpose , and any such evi
dence of credit shall be noiiTncgotiablo.paper
under the law. .In addition , every person
who fails to exhibit notes , mortgages , etc. ,
to the assessor shall be deemed guilty of per
jury nnd punishable as provided by law.
To Asslit the Niiirf < mo Court ,
Representative Van Housen has Intro
duced a bill , officially known as liouso roll
i\o , 22 , which provides for the upjiolntmcnt
of three commissioners of the supreme court.
The intent of the bill Is to relieve the supreme - '
premo court of n largo amount of
the work which now encumbers
the docket and to facilitate the
transaction of the business of the
court. Three commissioners are provided
for , all to bo appointed by the supreme
court , all to servo t/Muar ) ) / * nnd to draw the
name salaries ns arc- mud to the Justices of
the supreme court. < JVneV are to ho provided
with suitable rooms nt the state capitol and
to them will bo referred such cases as the
supreme court tnayrileeni proiwr , providing
that In all cases' ' submitted n written
request must llrstbu. . tiled with the
supreme court by the parties to the suit.
The commissioners 'will' carefully consider
the cases assigned Jo-.them , make brief and
concise statements.jf. ( , all the facts In the
case and of the points nnd citations.of
authorities of counsel'ahd nlso file a written
opinion ns lo the proper determination of
the case. This opinion shall bo signed by

ami , shall also sliow.yvhother the other com
missioners concur or. dissent , The supreme
court may then adopi' til o report of the com
missioners with sucli changes or modlllco-
tions.ns may seem proper.
To Amend thn llnllot Luw.
Hepreseiitnlivo Heal of Custer county has
introduced n bill , house roll No. 8 , intended
lo facilitate the casting of votes at general
or special elections in this state. After
describing the form of ballot fo bo used ,
which , In general , Is the same as used under
the present system. Mr , Beal adds a pro
vision that the candidates of all parties
participating In the election shall
be printed In columns by themselves
with a distinct line between. The name of
the party shall ho printed at the top of each
column , and any voter "desiring to vote th
straight ticket may place a cross murk op
posilc Iho designation of the party at the
top of Iho colunn. It Is made Iho duty of
the Judges nnd clerks of election to
count all the candidates under the heading
marked In this manner. Or , If the voter
does not desire to vote for all of his party
candidates , ho may nlaco u mark afler the
name of the party at the top of the column
nnd also a mark after such candidates in any
of the other columns , and n ballot so marked
shall bo counted as cast for all candidates
SII
named under the party appellation except
IIu lo such candidates marked in other col
umns , The law Is based upon a simtlur pro
vision In the lown law , nnd If passed will
greatly facilitate the counting of votes ns
well as promoting the independence of the
voter.
Against th Kmploymunt of I'lnliertoiiB.
Another measure which has been culled to
the attention and consideration of the pres
ent session is one introduced By Representa
tive Irwin prohibiting the employment of
"Pinkertons" within the boundaries of Iho
slnlo. Ills bill provides that any and
all persons not authorized by the

GETTING MORE COMPLICATED
Affaire in Kansas Becoming Decidedly Mixed

PLENTY OF CANDIDATES FOR SENATOR
1'optilUt.t Undecided ait In Whnt ConrKc to
1'iirmie JosepliV. . Ally Nominated by
the Republican CHUCK * on the
Third llullot Taken.
TOPEKA , ICan. , Jan. 23. Although the vari
ous branches of the Kansas legislature will
ballot separately tomorrow for senator , no
candidates have up to this hour ( H p. in )
been decided upon by the three parties.
The jiopullsts went into caucus at 8
o'clock. They have lo decide llrst whether
they will nominate a middle-of-the-road i > op-
ullsl or a dom'ocrjit , and then to select from
the various candidates the nominee.
There is no telling what they may
do. John Martin of Topuka is tiio only
democrat toward whom tliu populists seem
well disposed. Having unseated eight re
publicans they have a majority of all the
members of the populist house , and the sen
ate can elect a populist if it want to.
They believe , however , a democrat with
populist tendencies would bo moro likely to
receive recognition by the federal senate in
the event of the republicans electing a man
and sending him to Washington with cre
dentials , Among the stalwart populist can
didates are Judge Frank D' Osier , John F.
Willels and Dr. MoLallln , editor of the Alli
ance Advocate.
Watching tlin Popullstn. '
To checkmate this move by the populists
the republicans have alwut decided to throw
Miclr strength to a stalwart democrat as
against John Martin , who represents the
fusion whig of thedcmoeiacy. The sixty-
four republican members of the lower house ,
with the republican senators and llvo demo
crats , make a majority of both houses in
Joint session , and could elect a senator if
they can Ifx upon a man. So many stalwart
democrats , however , have their rods up
for senatorial lightning that it would
bo a dinicult matter lo concentrate
upon one man. Balloy P. Watrgcner ,
of Atchison , Edward Carroll of Leaven-
worth , A. A. Harris of Fort Seolt and Henry
Watkins of Lawrence1 are some of the demo
crats who hope to bo sent to the senate by
the republicans. The republicans , however ,
will take no dollnlto action until they learn
what course the populists intend to pursue.
The republican friends of Senator Perkins
are at work to prevent any.election by the
republican house in the hope that the iwpu
list house will bo declared to bo Illegal and
that Iho federal semilc will do--lino to recog
nize their senator , thus allowing Senator
Perkins to retain his seat and till out .tho uu-
cxpired portion of the term of the Into

PiuitiiB , S. D. , Jan. 23. [ Special Tele

session today and little of Importance tran
spired. Senator Thornby of Custer , who
has shown a disposition to got after Iho cat
tlemen of the Black Hills called up a bill to
annex XlobaOh county to Pennlngton , Meade
anfl'Custcr'colinty : ' Ho claims that the big
cattlemen who live In Deadwood , Rapid City
and other towns and who graze their great
herds largely ' in the three last named coun
ties , and really partake of all the benefits of
their courts schools and other results of
organisation escape paying taxes by erecting
u small cabin in the unorganized lands across
the river and claiming those cabins as their
homes. Thus they pay on their immense
possessions only the stale tax of 2 mills ,
while residents of the counties whoso privi
leges they enjoy pay 30 mills. Mr. Dollard
interposed the constitutional objection that
no county lines can bo changed except after
a vote of the people.
A joint resolution passed the senate for a
memorial to congress , praying that veterans
bo given preference in public employment ,
and against the repeal of pension laws ; also
praying that the lands of the Sioux reserva
tion be given to settlement under the homestead -
stead law without the payment of $1.25 per

MILWAUKEE , \Vis. , Jan. 23. Not in many
years has there been so much Interest taken
in the election of a Uniled States senator for
Wisconsin as is manifested at the present
time. From many parts of the state reports
come of growing sentiment in favor of the
election of General Bragg , and members
from some localities who had given their
support in the caucus last week to other
candidates have been sharply criticised by
their constituents and every possible effort
has been made to drum them into the
Bragg column. In Milwaukee the demo
cratic powers are equally active in the in
terest of Congressman Mitchell's candidacy ,
and there has been practically no end to the
hustling done today In his behalf. So great
Is the Interest felt here , and so persistently
uro Mr. Mitchell's supporters working for
his interests to secure all Influence possible ,
that they secured an adjournment of the
common council this afternoon , all the demo
cratic members of which went to Madison in
a body to work in Mr. Mitchell's interest.
Nearly every democratic politician of the
city is in Madison tonight. It will likely bo
near midnight when balloting in the joint
caucus will begin and an exciting scene Is
expected ,

the democrats In that state. Senator Gor
man Is confident that the democrats will or
ganize the senate whether the troubles in
Montana are settled or not , but ho wants the
state just the same. It was thought nt one
tlmo that the matter was settled , hut it has
broken out again alnco the legislature mot.
Senator Gorman and Mr. Whitney will

WHY SCOTT IS IN JAIL.
In Went on a iliitnbnren with the I'muM of a
Dead Woman ,
Last night Sergeant Ha/.o of the dolecllvo
'oreo arrested Theodore Scott , a brother or
ho notorious safe blower , who recently died
n the Kansas penitentiary. Scott was
booked for grand larceny ami locked up.
The police claim that Scott was a member
if the Murray gang of safe blowers which
vas broken up hero last spring. For some
.line past ho has been putting up with a col-
) red woman named Victoria Howell , who
Ivedat 1103 Chicago street. The woman ,
, vho has been known to the police for years
is "Mother Vie , " was a well known fence
md generally disposed of the plunder of the
Slurray gang , besides sheltering them when
'n the city.
About two weeks ago "Mother Vlo" was
: aken sick and removed to St. Joseph hos
ital. Before going , however , she doiKislted
M50 in the First National bank and took a
ccrlillcato of deposit in favor of a brother In
Missouri , in case she died. She also gave to
i Mrs. McNoul , a neighbor , a small buck
skin bag containing Jewelery worth about.

A day or so ago the woman died , and was
aken to the morgue. The money in
he bank could not bo drawn upon
o pay her funeral expenses , and
Coroner Maul asked Scott if ho could not
also enough money to pay for the woman's
"imeral. This the prisoner promised to do.
ilo wont to Mrs. McNenl and claimed that
the coroner hud sent him for the Jewelry ,
( presenting that the contents of the buck
skin sack would bo returned when the
irothcr In the south arrived and paid Iho
) ill. Upon this representation Mrs. McNenl
.urneil the Jewels over to Scott. Then the
.rouble commenced. Scott puwiied the
ewelry and turned himself loose to paint the
town.
The matter came to the attention of the
wlieo and as a natural consequence Scott
ww counts the burs of his cell door Instead
) f counting a stuck of chips In some gambling
liouso.
The woman will bo buried today in Forest

BOSTON , Mass. , Jan. 23. In the United
States circuit court today , in the case of the
Edison Electric Lighting company , to re
strain the Beacon Lamp company of this city
from manufacturing incandescent lumps ,
alleged to infringe on Mr. Edison's palcnt , the
Beacon company filed about thirty nfllduvits
alleging lhat tno incandescent lump was
not Invented by Mr. Edison In 1879.
as has been alleged , but by a Gcrman-'Amorl-
oan named Henry Gobol. The affidavits
show that Mr. Gobel , after having experi
mented for several years , finally devised
somewhat earlier than 1800 substantially the
form of Incandescent lamps now In use and
on which Edison claims the patent. . The use
of this lamp was necessarily limited by the
fact that the dynamos had not been invented ,
but Mr. Gobel made many of these lamps for
several years prior to Mr. Edison's alleged
invention and used them moro or less con
tinuously.
