- LNCoN , March 2.-Speclal.-The ( )
house employe volcano wal ngaln In al
eruptve stage this mornIng. A great deal
of bad blood wns engehlerrll during the lIe-
bate and over the rtult , The trouble orlg. , ,
Inntell over 1 resolution whIch Thomas askec
ulnnlmous consent , to Introduce and han 1m.
_ mediate action tIIOn. When It was read by
the clerk It Ilevelopell ( ( that J. E. Cook , ni old
t soldIer , who has ) ! becn acting ns custodian ,
desired to be placed on the pay 10\ tram
January 1. I 1805 , and continued In luch ser- ,
vice during the rest of the session. This '
waR the substance of Thomas' resolution.
- There are two stories In regfl to the mata -
a ter and there Is quite n variance between
; the statements of Speaker Wchards and Mr.
i _ _ Cook. Cook says , and this position Is sub-
stanlatCI by Secretary of State Piper , that
tim later appointed him nt the openIng of
the session , subject 10 the future action of
the house. lIe says that ho applied to the
speaker and was tel that he might , 1)05-
_ _ _ _ _ slbly , not appoint any one else to the pos- !
tion. Upon this basis he had remained insole
solo charge of the room , and had done nil
the work.
Speaker Richards Says that when Cool
nppled ! to him he distinctly told him that
. .u _ _ . . , Ilslncty
Lie WOUI not nplIOlnl nun , und that he could
not reconlze his claim In any particular.
Upon this point the question vent to the
house and thc resolution was carried by n
vote of 4 : to 33. Burch was In thc speaker's
chair , nli the speaker was on thc floor opposing -
posing with all the Impassioned eloquence at
hIs command the resolution. Durch made
the pecular ruling that he should hold that
the resoluton ! was 1 motion to reconsider ,
reqnlrlng a two-thirds majority of all voting .
und was , consequently , lost. In time m\sl
of considerable disorder the house adjourned.
The old soldier clement nre very Indlg-
nnnt. They say that the end Is not yet , but
that the man who hns worlll faithfully for
the state through two months and has never
been ordered away shal be Paid In full for
such servIce.
When , during time reports of standing com-
mitees , house roll No 490 was reached thc
bill to locate the state fair permanently It
Lincolil was before the mombers. The measure -
uro was 'Introduced by Lamborn of fled Wi-
low. There were two reports , majority and
minority , from the committee on ngrcul-
ture. The minority report was signEd by
Chnco of Stanton , who recommended In-
donnlo postponem Time majority favored
" time general file when It could be discussed
In commitee of the whole. Sutton and
Johnston of Douglas and Chnce made strong
arguments In favor of the minorIty report.
The mlhorlty report was voted down but
the vote Is by no means 1 test of strength
; In the hOlse , but simple courtesy to the com-
mItee on agriculture. A majority of those
: Voting against the report of Chace say they
' only deslro to have the measure discussed
In commIttee of lhn wholo. Therefore they
'I voted to place the bill on general me.
House roil No. 494 was ordered to the
general mo this morning. This Is the meas-
ire appropriating $80.000 to complete the
library building for the state university.
Colo's bill , house roll No. 370 , appropriating
$20,000 for the Stratton Home for Aged
Women also landed on the general file ,
mainly through the efforts of Cramb who
made quite nn extended speech In Its favor.
Aside from the two head clerks In the
house engrossing . and enrolling room there
Ire eight Dr .ter : others , alleged assistants .
who have pract ally , nothing to do. Time
man who 1 few years ago did the work
alone Is now nn employo of the house In
another capacity , but he claims that the
way bills have been passed so far In time
session ho could have completed , single
banded , all work which this dozen or so
employes have been engaged upon. This
means , at least , an unnecessary expense to
time state of $30 a day , or $1.200 for the forty
days of the sessIon expired.

under her carl receivEd the advice or a
mother until they almost felt that she gave
them the motherly love they so much needed ,
and many have gone out 10 purer , happier
lives because of her care all sympathy. She
watched the boys , too , and by many an nct.
a hand on the shoulder here a word of advice
there became to them the mother they
should have had to guide them. "

FOR TRAIN \VRECKING.
ConsIderable Interest Is being manifested

cused of wrecking the Hocl Island train
last summer and causing the loss of eleven
lives. Davis will be placed In the prlsoner's

wreck and as to his movements on that

In open court , and recommendaton of colored
citizens of Lincoln , appoInted George A.
Adams , assistant counsel , to act with Alex

fenso. What course time defense will take Is
not m'nlest. but I Is considered certain
that no effort wi be spared by the colored
people or thIs vIcinity to secure hIs ac-
quittal.

RELIC OF A SCIOOLDA Y 10 IANCE.
Time termination of 1 school day romance
developed today In time district court when .
Miss Lulu Harrington by her mother , Mrs. !
Olive A. Ilarrington med n suIt for breach I
of promise agaInst Philip Manger , and nsk-
Ing for $5.000 dnmages. Miss Harrington Is
1 minor between IG and"lli , years of nge.
She alleges that she became englged to
Manger November 17. H04. Itelring upon
this engagement she had remained single.
Manger , however , had jilted her and married
another lady last month In Doonvle , Mo.
The young lady refused to talk voluminously
about the cafe , but saId that PhIlip bad ap-
prised 'her of his contemplated marriage , but
that she had refused to release him from
his engagement to her. Miss Uarrlngton Is
a tal , good looking brunette , thid has re-
sided In the city about six monthis.
CASE OF MENTAL ABERRATION.
A mysterious case of mental aberration
nberrton
has developed nt the State university. Miss
Louise Laurizen Is a student who has
been intermittently registered for abolt th' ee
years For some tme the faculty and stu-
dents havO been exercIsed over her peculiar
actions. On various times she has occa-
stoned disturbances In the classes Her pe-
cularites have been most noticeable on
windy days , or when the clements were
turbulent. Occasionaly she persists In taking -
Ing down her hair and dressing I during
class time. Chancellor Canneld II\s lt last
been compelled to ask her to wihdrw
from the classes hopIng to lear the , , hereabouts -
abouts of her frIends "In order that they
might be advIsed In the premIses. hitherto
she has steadfastly refused to give their
names or place of resldenco. They are sup-
posed to live at or near Grand Island. Lt
plght MIss Lauritzen visited the chnncelor
nt his office and became frantic over what
seemed to her unwarranted perzecutiomm.
Apparently she thought that time hand , of every -
cry one was against her and hinted at sui-
cIde. For over an hour the chancellor reasoned -
soned with tier and had consIderable dlm-
culy In persuading her to lenve. Much
sympathy Is manifested for the young lady
by students and faculty.

circulated among the citizens praying the
board to take such acton as may bring
about that result. All portions of the tawi-
site can be readily Irrigated , but the I/ues- /
tons growing out of tIme right at way for
laterals on streets , bridges , etc. , are , ot
course , all quIte new to the citizens of time
munIcipality , no ICES than to the estmabla
gentemen who are occupying posiions on
the village board and during whose Ine\m-
b.ene' the questions have first been raised
Whlo the board Is justIfied In acting wih
time caution due In cases where action must
cauton
bo taken wihout time benefit of special statute .
ute or specific precedent , time citizens of the !
town are almost a unIt In their desire for I

wi no doubt soon be found.

amities will meet again next wrek to gIve
