for the SUno 1'ulr.
LINCOLN , Sept. 1. ( Special to The Dee. )
The governor on being asked whether ha
had fully decided not to convene , an extra
session of the legislature said that after
much correspondence and consultation such
was his decision. To call one , ho said ,
would bo exceptional among the states
similarly aflllct3 < l and would give Nebraska
nn advertisement jvlilch should bo avoided
If possible. What an extra-session would
cost the state ho could not say. The last
regular session cost tlio state over (118,000 , ,
The state could hardly afford to take upon
Itself the expense of on extra session at
this tlmo , and If In the end the state should
decide to grant any aid , it would be better
to aava this money for that purpose. The
cprdltlon of the state , finances Is not such as
to gtvo much promise of aid. The constitution
Axe : the limit ot state Indebtedness at ftOO-
090 , which limit was reached by the- Issue
of that amount of bands to relieve distress
In 1S91. There is no money in the general
fund with which to meet any appropriation
tor relief. In fact , that fund Is many
months behind In meeting current demands ,
and a large state Indebtedness Is growing
upon us , bearing 7 per cent Interest , be
cause' of the Inability to pay warrants as
presented. The governor further said that
but a. few months would elapte before a
Tegular convention of the legislature , com
posed of men fresh from the people , well
prepared to consider the wants of. tbo sev
eral sections , and what would be lieat to do
under the circumstances. lie said he was
well . \varo ot the extent and degree of dis
tress , both present and anticipated , on ac
count of the unprecedented drouth , but
thinks It the duty of the several counties
and precincts , with the aid of the charitable
organisations and the kindly disposed , to
undertake to provide for the distress till the
next legislature shall conveneat length.
Replying to a latter of the governor's , the
attorney general responds as follows :
"Chapter GS , pngo 2G3 , session laws , 1SS5 ,
Is an act to authorize precincts , townships
and villages to vote bonds to aid works of
Internal Improvement. Section ono ot said
not provides ( hat an/ precinct or township
organized according- law U anthoriz.nl to
Issue bonds In old ot works of Internal Im
provement to an extent not cxcebillni ; 10
per cent of the assessed valuation ol taxable
property at the last assessment within such
township or precinct. Section 9 , chapter
93 , provides that canals constructed
for Irrigating or water power purposed are
declared to b ; works of internal improve
ment and all laws applicable to works of In
ternal Improvem'lit are declared to be ap
plicable to such canals. From the
above It follows that a township
can vote bonds for the purpose of aiding in
the construction of Irrigation canals and
ditches within Us territory , I am con
strained , however , to the opinion that ,
while the townships can vote bonds In aid
of canals and ditches and can impose con
ditions , yet the townships cannot own and
operat the canals and ditches. "
STATE FAIH PREPARATIONS ,

quarters of the State Kalr association to

The hosts that gathered at Columbus on
the third saengerfest of the Nebraska sacn-
fjertmnd have iiow dispersed and the joyous
merriment that rang in the air Is only a
pleasant recollection. The gads certainly
favored this carnival of festivity , for on the
cvo prior to Its Initiation the heavens poured
down their myriads of messengers In little
drops ot rain to ocol the broiling air and
transform , as It by magic , the thick coat of
dust that covered everything.
On the opening day the arriving quests
were welcmcd with loud huzzas , and as
each society stepped off the train It was ac
companied to the hall of the homo associa
tion with stirring strains of "music , and the
entire afternoon was passed In welcoming
the new arrivals who came on every train.

the first nations of c the : earth , lie assured
them that as guests xjf the "Maennerchor , "
who were the rrldt' of Columbus , ho felt
both pleased and honoratl In throwing open
to them the freedom iot > the town. No less
hearty was the welcome accorded by their

German's spirit , hist language and his song ,
and made some toi6hlng allusions to tha
eld homo , and his own ? fatherland , beautiful
Switzerland. fl s

able leadership ot Director Peterson , de-
Itehted the audlendtl "XfTlh the pretty song.

EXETEH , Neb. , Sept. 1. ( Special to The
Bee. ) A very peculiar and a somewhat sus
picious looking article was picked up In the
road some four miles southeast of this place
by a couple of young men. It Is i piece of
Inch gas plpo , and about eight Inches long ,
Ono end seems packed with gunwads , the
other end , the edge ot which has been ham
mered to fcrm a rim , Is packed with some
thing unknown to those who have exam
ined It except that right In the center ot
the plug Is a llttlo knob a quarter of an
Inch thick that seems to be rubber. The
suspicious resemblance to a ruda dynamite
bomb prohibits anyone from examining It
very closely. It Is now in charge of the
city marshal , who will test It to 11 rid out
what It Is.
