SOME DEI.lEIATE EXTRAVAGANCE.
;
' In this connection there Is n good story
about the extravagance er the house In purchasing -
I chasIng flies for holding the bills In the
: two fes : The house roll tiles provided
this session cost $2.76 apiece In a large
JobbIng lot They can be bought at retail In
almost every large stationery store for less
than hal that sum. But no files have yet
been furnIshed the house for USe In tem-
porarily bindIng the senate fIles sent In to
the house immediately after passage. In
consequence or this , for nearly n week no
bills passed by the senate could be acted
upon passel house because the members did
not have copIes or he t bills before them to
act upon Intelgenly , The matter was
brought up about ten days ago , and some or
the members objected to paying ! such eX-
travngnnt prIces for pasteboard bInders for
Bennie flies. Howard or Sarli said ho could
fes.
give the names of n dozen houses that would
r sell suitable binders for GO cents nplece. On
Eel
motion he was appointed a committee or one
on the mater or files. "Time wore along "
but for some mysterious reason no tIles ap-
peared. and on Thursday last he was called
upon to report howard Isld that he had ,
on hIs appointment , Immediately given the
clerk or the , house the names of parties from
whom the files could be Purchased for 50
fcs
cents nplece. But no acton had been tnken.
' , On the contrary , a dlsposilon had been
manifested to Ignore his economic suggcs-
tions. The upshot or the mater was that the
house voted to Instruct tie clerk to procure
the flies at $ 2.75 apIece. Members say that
' , b thIs Is the reason why no cheap files were
* purchased , and why the members have been
obliged to await action on important busi-
oblgee or the house to afford some supply
house nn exorbitant price for gools.

G. W. Hngo , a highly respect farmer liv-
lag three miles southeast or this place. The
officers came wIth a search warrant , and went
through his barn and unearthed fifteen sets
of harness . three top buggies and one sprIng
wagon , which they loaded up and took to
Omahn.
For a year or more farmers In this neighborhood -
borhood have been missIng harness and other
artcles , and have searched high and low for
them , but all In vain. The unexpected find
In Mr. Rlugo's barn solves the mystery Mr.
lingo was not nt home when the ofcers
came and the only obtainable Information
regarding the preseree of the stolen property
was received from his eldest son . who told
the officers that n man named Drown had
len the ( gods there from time to time during
the last year.
Brown has been camping along the Plat
bottoms with several women or questionable
character for some ( line , but six weeks ago
he sUddenly disappeared. He was regarded
with suspicion while here and generally
wih suspicon whie generaly
looked upon ns a bad 1 an. During the fore

on the Hinge rnneh. Ringo's character has
always been above reproach. He was In
Omaha today , and his side of , the story could
not be obtained but It Is not believed that
he has knowIngly been Implicated with Drown
