Tho Inst of the leslslatlvo contest cases
were disposed of this morning when the
house, practically by a unanimous vote,
adopted thb report of tho privileges auO

that tho fusion members from Douglas

The flndlngs of the committee, prepared
by Chairman John A. Whltmore. treated

It was found that Hunt received n majority
of 2C1 votes over Youngs, nnd Johnson a

by the houso Representative Hunt showed
his Joy by treating ft 1 1 members to cigars.
It hnd been rumored that a minority re

HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 20. (Specinl.) A
railroad project has been under wny In
this city for a year past which It Is cal
culated will be of great benefit to tho poo
plo of the great com and wheat belt of
the north nnd tho cotton producing couu
try of the south.
Tho proposed lino Is tho Nebraska & Gulf
railroad, organized under tho laws of thu
stnte of Nebrnska.
Tho plnn of thu promoters of this road
Is to build and equip n first-class lino from
Mnnltobn to tho Gulf of Mexico, the south
ern terminus to bo Port Arthur, Galveston,
or both of these points. The rond, so far
as at pnsent surveyed, starts from near
Running Water, S. D., and extends south
in an almost direct line, tho present ter
minus being near Concordia, Kan.
Tho continued lino will toucji many of
tho most Important points south, astdo

This lino will glvo to tho raisers ot
wheat, corn nnd live stock upon tho great
plains of Kansas, Nebraska and tho Da
kotas the advantago of several hundreds of
miles shorter rail haul of their products
to tidewater.
It will open to the northwest tho vnst
coal fields of tho south, together with its
great resources in lumber nnd ores nnd
its tropical fruits and manufactured
products.
Ry reason of the short haul to tide
water for export, it 1b estimated that tho
farmer will receive a hotter price for all
products of tho soli and for fatted flocks
and herds.
Marked encouragement has been extended
to the promoters of this road nil along tho
proposed lino so far ns tho survey has
