tion of House the report was received ami
placed on file.
Clark of Ulchardson , from the special com
mittee to Inqulio why the reports of the state
departments had not been printed ten days
prior to the opening of the legislature , re

diers' and sailors' homes , sent up a written
request that his committee be excused from

until Friday morning in order that it might
go to Grand Island and Milford and visit
the homes. Jenkins raised the obj3ctlon
that there had been appointed a general
committee of six to visit all the state Insti
tutions and that he did not favor any moie
Junketing commissions. Grandstaff said that
the committee simply asked to be excused
and proposed to pay its own expenses. Per
mission was granted by the house.
ENCOURAGEMENT TO BEET SUGAR.
Pollard sent up a resolution that a com-
mltteo of flvo b'e appointed 'by ' the speaker
to Investigate the sugar beet industry and
report a. , bill along the lines of encourage
ment to new factories. Speaking to his
resolution Pollard said that when he had
previously Introduced this resolution he
had been told that there wns a bill then
pending for encouragement of the Industry.
Since then that bill had been indefinitely
postponed. He now again presented the
resolution.
Wooster wanted the "bill" provision
struck out , but his amendment to this effect
was defeated , and Pollard's resolution car
ried.
Eastman had read a petition asking that
the legislature appropriate $10,000 for en
couragement of farmer's Institutes. The
potltlon was referred to the committee on
manufacturers and commerce.
Jenkins moved a resolution that no money
be paid out for visiting committees until
tholr. blJiijjjad "been audited by the speaker
and" allowed by the houses In a bill appro
priating1 funds vforj.th.Is > pu.gpose ; ' agreed to.
In accordance' "With" Pfallard's , beet ugar
resolution , SpoakeY' Gatlln appointed the fol
lowing committee to Investigate and re
port concerning the heet sugar Industry :
Pollard of Cass , Sheldon of Dawes , Soder-
man of Phelps , Woostcr of Merrlck and
Roddy of. Otoe.
At this point a spirited debate sprung up
concerning a resolution passed last Fri
day to the effect that a committee pf six
ba named to visit all the state Institutions
and report to the house. Jenkins claimed
that It had been revoked. Clark of Lan
caster declared that it should have been
reconsidered which , he claimed , had not
teen done. Ho held that the appointment
of the committee of six did not , and could
not. Interfere with the work of the com
mittee on asylums. The matter was left
In this shape after extensive readings from
Roberts" Rules of Order , and sharp verbal
exchanges between Jenkins and Clark of
Richardson.
A number of bills were read for the second
end time and referred to committees , and
the speaker announced bills on third read
ing
IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
The committee's substitute for house roll
No. 37 was first on the list. It amends
section 53 of chapter Ixlx , Session Laws ol
1S95 , mul provides that the owners ol
ditches crossing public highways shall
properly bridge the same at their own ex
pense. It was found that the amendments
had not been properly printed and the bill
was laid over for the same cause. A num
ber of members complained that a great
many hills were missing from their flies
mid that they were In a bad condition gen
erally. Speaker Galiln pledged his word to
the house that ho would personally see
that the matter was investigated and the
much needed reforms In the fllo room ef
fected.
House roll No. 174 was at last found In
a proper shape for consideration , although
imo or two members complained that It was
not to bo found In their files. The act pro

IIAI-F A DAY OP IIAHIJ TAMCIXG.
.SiMiutorn Spenil tin ; Afternoon In
I'nlrlotlc Oratory.
LINCOLN , Fob , S. ( Special. ) The senate
commenced a now week at 2 o'clock this
afternoon with most of the members pres
ent , The Sunday recess was evidently a
day of rest In real earnest , for no reports
from standing committees were received
and few new bills were ready , for Introduc
tion. The greater part of the afternoon
was spent In commltteo ot the whole.
Mr. Lee Introduced a Joint resolution au
thorizing the commissioners of public lands
and buildings to select the school lands ac
cruing to the state In the old Fort Randall
military reservation.
The house bill for the appropriation of
$40,000 for the payment of the Incidental
expenses of the- present legislative session
was read the third time and passed.
The bill to 'ax all state and private banks
In order to create a fund for the protection
o ; depositors of Insolvent banks was read
the third time , but It was then discovered
Ih'it ' not only had' ' serious errors crept Into
the engrossed copy. but that the bill Itself
would , If passed , practically repeal the state
depository law. After a desultory discus-
don , In which It was easily seen that un
less It could bo radically amended It was
doomed to defeat , Its author , Mr. Johnson ,
moved that It bo recommitted to the com
mittee ot the whole and the senate agreed.
The senate , having completed the regular
order , went Into committee of the whole to
: onsldor bills on general fllo , with Senator
Watsou of Sallno In the chair ,
The only hill considered was senate fllo
o , 11 , to authorlflo county attorneys to cm.
ploy assistants In certain cases. The bill
was recommended for passage and the com
mltteo rose.
Mr , Canaday , from the committee on edu
cation , reported senate file No. 110 , provld-
ng for the display of the Un'ted States
flag on every school building In the state ,
with the recommendation that It be Indcll-
iltely 'postponed. The , report of the com-
nlttco was adopted , no effort apparently be-
ng mode to ascertain the nature ot the
bill to be postponed.
Later .Mr. Caldwell moved that tbo' vote
by which the bill was postponed .bo re
considered ; but the- motion was declared out
ot order by the lieutenant governor , for the
reason that It bad not been made by one who
voted affirmatively. Finally. Mr. Haller
stated that ho had voted atlirmatlvcly and
therefore moved 'that the > oto bo recon
sidered
EVERYBODY A * PATRIOT ,
The scnato then found Itself in the midst
of the liveliest kind1 of a debate on the sub-
ect of patriotism. Mr. Ransom stated that
10 favored the indefinite postponement of
ho bill , Ho declared that the people of this
country were going "flag crazy , " Ho was
opposed , ho said , to this buncombe way ot
running the schools. The flag wns the cm
' blera of the power of the United States r.ni
appropriately belonged to the forts , tni
army and the nnvy. If It wns to be ills
plsycd over Infants studying their prlmrr' '
, It would soon lose Its Importance ns nt
I emblem of power. If the flag was made s <
i common It would soon lose the respect o
the American people. Ho closed by de
clarlng that the bill had been Introduced I ;
1 the Interests of the bunting trust that hne
1 In the last campaign contributed $60,000 tt
i the republican party and In turn drew oul
$122,000.
Mr. Conawny of York spoke briefly li
reply to the remarks of the senator froir
Douglas.
Mr. Caldwell replied to Hansom with some
heat. He stated thnt ho wns not surprised
, at the opposition of the senator from Doug-
Ins. Ills opposition wns to be expected of a
man who was born In a state that had beci
hold In the possession of the rebels , lit
was not surprised , ho Bald , that a man wh <
came from a state whoso people had op
posed the marches of the union arml1" :
would have the nightmare whenever th <
flag was mentioned.
Mr. Murphy asked In the brief remark ;
ho made that the vote on Indefinite post
ponement be reconsidered In a spirit ot fair ,
ness to the author of the bill.
Mr. Ransom made a lengthy reply to the
senator from Nuckolls , prefacing his re
marks with the statement that he dosplscc
the patriotism that attacks a matt because
of the state of his birth. He ridiculed the
pretensions of patriotism advanced by the
republican party lu the last campaign , nnc
claimed that the genuine patriotism was
displayed by the men who with hlmsell
voted with the common ncople In nn cfforl
to save the free Institutions ot the republic.
Mr. Muffly of Madison stated that the people -
plo of Nebraska wore too poor to buy Hags
and claimed that In his own school dis
trict the taxpayers were so poor that they
wore compelled to run In debt for a fo\v
coplca of n text book on history. The mo
tion to reconsider was lost. The senate then
nt 5:45 : adjourned until tomorrow morning.
LINCOLN'S CHAUTUIl ,
Kreo Silver ForccN MnvliiK < < > Olitnln
a Hold oil City AITnlfH.
LINCOLN , Feb. 8. ( Special. ) The free
silver leaders In the city of Lincoln
have mixed up a noxious dose for their
republican brethren , and the legislature has
been called upon to see that It Is duly
administered. The republicans are largely
In the majority In Lincoln , and have gen
erally controlled all departments of the city
government , as well as the fire and police
departments. The free sliver men propose
to take possession of some of the offices
In splto of the many republican protests ,
and to this end have complied a new char
ter , which has already been Introduced in
both branches of the legislature. One ol
the provisions of this new charter calls for
a board of fire and police commissioners tc
be appointed by the governor. Under the
present law the fire and police dcpartmenta
are under the control of the excise board ,
the members of which are elected. Under
the new charter the ponullsts would be
placed In the control , ana a man Is already
watting for every place In both depart
ments.
But , throwing the politics of the proposed
'new ' charter aside , there Is ono feature
which Is at least Interesting to more Inter
ests than ono In , the capital city. The new
charter. If It becomes a law , will authorize
the city council to purchase the street rail
way system of Lincoln at tax or Judgment
sale. The Lincoln Street Railway company ,
of which Brad D. Slaughter has boon re
ceiver for more than two years past , la
delinquent In Its taxes due to the city for
an amount closely approaching $100,000.
There seems to be no Immediate prospect
of more prosperous times for the street rail
way company , and the taxes continue to pile
up at an "astonishing rate. The city of
Lincoln may yet be the first In the United
States to operate Its own street railway
system.
FUSION PAIITY 1IOLIJS A CAUCUS.
CoiiHlilerx tlie 1)111 1'rnvlillim ; ( or INMUL-
of Sircli > l WiirrinitH. "
LINCOLN. Neb. , Feb. 8. ( Special Tele
gram ) . The fusion party held a caucus at
the Hotel Lincoln tonight , ' remaining in
session from 8 o'clock until nearly 11. The
purpose of the caucus was to reach an
agreement If possible on Representative
Soderman's bill , ' house roll No. 117 , to pro
vide for the temporary Issue of warrants
on the state treasury of small denomination.
This bill was prepared by C. W. Stewart of
Hastings , who has been at work In Its
favor ever since the session opened. Mr.
Stewart was invited to appear before the
caucus and explain his measure. Ho said ,
any person holding a claim against the
state duly adjusted and allowed by the
auditor of public accounts may , if ho de
sires , receive from the auditor a special
warrant on the state treasurer. These spe
cial warrants are to be negotiable and re
ceivable for all taxes duo within this state
the Hotel Llncvoln tonight , remaining in
Its citizens and when held by any state
or private bank in Nebraska may constitute
a part of their legal cash reserve. This
special warrant shall be received by the
state treasurer from county treasurers lu
payment for taxes due the state. Special
warrants may be registered and are to
draw Interest at the rate of 2 per cent per
annum from the date of registration to date
of payment. If purchased for the permanent
school fund the special warrants are to
draw 5 per cent from the date of their pur
chase until their redemption. After Mr.
Stewart had finished his remarks Represen
tative Fclker of Omaha read a 'letter re
ceived by Congressman-elect W. L. Stark
from W. A. Nash , attorney-general of the
state of Mississippi , who wrote favorably
of the operation of the law In Mississippi.
CUTS OFF A FAT FEE OFFICE.
II1I1 to Put lliv Supreme Court Cleric
on n Snlnry.
LINCOLN , Feb. 8. ( Special. ) If the
present session * of the legislature has
ItH way about the matter the office of clerk
of the supreme court now considered ono
of the most lucrative In the gift of the
state will be reduced to a level with the
clerkship ot an ordinary county. Under
the present law the clerk of the supreme
court counts his salary In the fees that he
draws. He accounts to no ono but himself.
At the same time ho Is compelled to employ
at his own expense several clerks and
stenographers , whose salaries would other
wise have to be paid by the stato.
Senator Heal of Custer has Introduced a
bill providing that the clerk of the supreme
court , who also acts as state librarian and
reporter , shall ba entitled to pocket but
$1,500 per annum from the fees , and that the
balance shall bo turned over to the state
treasurer la quarterly Installments. In ad
dition the bill provides for one deputy clerk
at an annual salary of $1,200 , and a deputy
librarian at $1,000 per annum. If more
clerks are found to be necessary , they arc
to bo appointed by the governor and the
Board of Public Lands nnd Buildings.
At the present time- Clerk A. D. Camp
bell Is assisted by a deputy , ono clerk and
tlvo stenographers , while the two bailiffs of
the supiemo court are also constantly cm-
ployed In the library. The work of the
ofQco is also constantly Increasing.

LINCOLN , Jeb. S. ( Special. ) The split in
the populist and free silver democratic ranks
seems to bOjgro\vlng wider as the corre
spondence between Chairman G. F. Wash-
burn of Boston and Secretary J. A. Edger-
ton of Lincoln1 grows longer. In an .Interview
today SecretaryDdgerton openly charged
that Chairman Wshburn { had allied himsell
with such mou as'Vandervoort , , Dunning anO
Matthews to disrupt the populist party. He
asserts that these men were open to the Im
putation that , they were the friends. If not
the paid servants , of the republican national
committee.
It Is a matter 'of record that Chairman
Washburn of' ' the executive committee and
Paul Vandervoort'have called a conference
of party leaders to meet at Memphis on the
22.dJnst. , ( Cljalrroajij Djttler ot tjia-natlonal

Edgerton sall'joday that 05 per cent of the
party leaders and populist editors will bo at

Secretary Edgerton today replied to Chair
man Washburn's latest epistle , pubilshed In
this morning's papers , and makes a few
charges of a sensational nature , reiterating
that the populist party he represents will
not consent to the abandonment of silver at
1C to 1 as an issue.

Great Moisture lit the Ground .11 alien
Farmers Feel Gluil.
NORTH LOUP , Neb. , Feb. 8. ( Special. )
The annual summary of the state weather
service records , kept at this station , shojvs
that the precipitation from August 30 , or the
close of the growing season , to December
31 , was 5.74 Inches , exceeding that of the
same months preceding the notably heavy
crop season of 1891 by 1.65 Inchea. Gener
ally speaking , thlg Is Indicative of a re
markably promising condition of the soil at
the present time , especially since but llttlo
wind has occurred to evaporate the mois
ture , and , Indeed , the surface of the ground
has been more or less frozen a large part of
the time , making evaporation Impossible.
With this , amount of moisture stored In the
ground during the autumn , It may confidently
be expected that the coming season will be
one of abundant crops and many are- pre
dicting a repetition ot the enormous yields
of 1891. Whether or not their hopes shall
meet with full realization In this particular ,
It cannot be disputed that present conditions
are very promising Indeed for the agricul
tural outlook for 1897.

time and then shot down some distance anJ
zlg-zaggcd to the north and south , finally
disappearing in a northwesterly direction. The

Much Interest Is being taken here In tin
subject of thcosophy. About three yean
ago Claude Falls Wright , a lecturer of th <
Thcosophloal Society ot America , gave i
series of lectures which marks the beginning
of the thcosophlcal movement In this Sec
tion ot the state. Sir months Inter Allci

scries of lectures on the same subject am'
organized a regular branch of the Thcosophl ,
cal Society of America with twelve chartci

1897 are : President , Mrs. N. A. Groucho ;
vlco president , Miss Jennie Hopkins ; sec
retary , Clalr Smith ; treasurer , Mrs. Mary

on the "Theosophlcal Crusade , " "Is Theosophy -
phy Practical , " end "Reincarnation. " Mr ,
Harding Is a fluent speaker and has a ready
and Intelligent answer for every question ,
Undoubtedly his lectures will remove much
of the prejudice existing In the minds of
many persons who knew little or nothing
heretofore of the teachings of the society.
It Is the purpose of the Hartlngtou branch
to fit up a public hall In the very near
future , and organize a Lotus Circle In order
that the pure and simple teachings of. thcoso
phy may bo brought to the minds of the

AMUSEMENTS.
The annual plauo recital of Muie. Mueuto-
ferlng's ' pupils , given yesterday at the
Woman's club rooms , attracted an audience
which filled the large hall to overflowing.
Music lovers have learned from past experi
ence to expect much In the way of artistic
gratification from thepe public exhibitions of
Mme. Mucntefering's efficiency as a teacher
of the piano-forte , and they were not disap
pointed in the entertainment of yobterday ,
which was fully up to the high standard set
by former recitals. The program was an
enjoyable one. In which tne names of con
temporary Slavonic composers were notice
ably prominent , three out of the eleven num
bers being by Moszkowskl , and one each by
Paderewskl and Dvorak. The new Stolnway
grand piano , recently chosen by Leopold
Godonsky and purchased by the Woman's
club , was publicly heard for the first time
on this occasion , and was generally admired.
Mine. Muenteferlng disappointed her
friends , to whom her solo performances are
always a source of pleasure , by not permit
ting herself to be heard except In company
with others. Her admirably subordinated
accompaniment to the violin concarto , how
ever , the sustaining force of her work at the
second piano in the duets with her pupils ,
ind the Inspiring brilliancy of her leadership
In the quartet , all showed her the genuine
irthto she never falls to be. With Mme.
Muentoferlng , Mr. FranAdelmann played
the drat movement of Mendelssohn's violin
: oncerto , nnd In response to an enthusiastic
recall played the andante movement of the
same great work. Each public appearance
3f Mr. Adelmann as a solo performer shows
in advance toward a place among the maa-
: ers of the violin. Sympathy and right feei
ng he has always had In a marked degree ;
ind technical skill in abundant measure la
} elnpr rapidly added thereto.
The program began with a pretty "Couii-
.ry Dance" by Kevin , very acceptably played
jy Misses nthol Morrison and Marion John-
ion. Miss Johnson was also heard alone
ater In the afternoon in the quaint "Kin-
lerscenen" by Kullak. Another Knlluk
lumber was "L'etolle du Nord" for lour
lands , played -with excellent expression and
luent technique by Misses Susie Drady and
larlean Curtis , Miss Grace Leonard offered
i very Intelligent Interpretation of
aderewskt's dainty "Cracovienne Fantns-
: lque. " Miss Ellis and Miss Morse played
i "Danse Rustlqtio" by Mason and a
iloszkowskl polonaise , respectively. The
wo duets in which Mine. Muentefering tool ;
) art were admirably done , the- first , with
dhs Lomax , being MocxKowskl's familiar
'Italy , " and the second , Salnt-Saens' wild
nd solemn "Danao Macabre , " superbly played
ly Miss Woolworth at the first piano. The
ivorak quartet , being numbers 6 and S
if the "Slavonic Dances. " Ijarij a well-
ilgh faultless rendering at the hands of Mme.
( lueutefering , Miss Kquntze , Mrs. Crofoot
nd Mrs , Llnsey.
In her solo playing of the Moszkowekl
raltz ( op. 34) ) Miss Susie .Brady . showed nblll-
les which were not surpassed by any other
lerformer on tha afternoon's program. It
s rare to find so young a pianist with so
omplete a command of the keyboard and so
ull a development of thfl artist soul. With
ttrlbutes such as these , she may go very far
ndced.
So far as the audience was observed , not a
'otnan ' , except the players , took her hat off.
'o bo sure , the assemblage wan overwhelm-
igly feminine , and doubtless the contcmpla-
lon of a rear view of so much headgear
as rather agreeable than the reverse to the

Central Lnlmr Union Deeiileri tn Send
ti Committee to Lincoln.
At n special meeting last night the Cen
tral Labor union decided to draw up n
protest against the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Expo
sition appropriation bill as It has bce-n In
troduced , In thu legislature. A commltteo
of three , consisting of Grabach , Clark and
Bell , was appointed to draw up this protest
and have It printed. Copies to the number
of 260 were ordered printed nnd these nro
to bo taken to Lincoln by two members
of the committee for distribution.
This committee Is further empowered to
see that the friends of labor In the legisla
ture work for the amendments which the
Central Labor union desired to be Incor
porated In tbo appropriation bill. Thcso
amendments provided that labor on the ex
position shall be employed but eight hours
a day at a minimum scale of $1.50 a day.
The fact that these amendments were not
found In the bill Introduced called forth
the special meeting.
It was also determined thnt this com
mltteo should attend the meeting of the
board of exposition directors today to In-
vlto a committee from thnt body to a con
ference In the labor matter. It this confer
ence should be held the labor union would
endeavor to persuade the board commltteo
to recommend the adoption of the union's
ilesired amendments by resolution. It Is
not expected , however , that the Invitation
will be accepted.
In case of a refusal to confer , the union
committee will then go to Lincoln to lobby
ngalnst the bill as now prepared. The mem
bers will try to have It so arranged that
the appropriation shall never leach the
hands of the board of exposition directors ,
but shall bo expended by a state board of
managers. At least one-half of this board
shall consist of laboring men. -
This plan ot campaign was decided upon ,
after a discussion that lasted over thrco
liours. It was practically the only matter
: onsldcrcd , although a motion was made
that the action of the union In rccqm-
: nondlng the selection of the poor fa'rm
site for the exposition be rescinded' . The
notion was not allowed to come up on tha
{ rounds that the meeting , bqjng apbcln.1 ,
: ould not consider It.
