(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb.. Juno 2Z-8peclaI.)-The
validity of tba constitutional amendment
under fhich tho legislature haa acted for
alxtcen years In holding a'.xty-day sessions
and the memtcrB thereof In drawing 15
a day aa their pay, waa seriously challenged
In district court this morning when the
ault brought by Robert Ryan, former su
preme court commissioner, against Auditor
Weston to retrain further payment of
vouchers to members calling for 16 a day
cam up for hearing before Judge Holmes.
Mr. Ryan Insists that he is acting merely
out of duty to his profession in order that
tna written cons' It alien may not bo Im
paired with Immunity, but there is a strong
suspicion that otlier motives are behind the
action. One '.f the theories Is that the
revenue Mil onacted at the last session Is
aimed s. It war. Introduced at a period
later tnan the old limit of the constitution
permitted bills to be filed, and if the con
tention of Ryan Is upheld, the revenue law,
together wlUi many others, will fall by the
wayside.
The claim of Ryan Is that the legisla
ture has no pownr to canvass the votes
cast on constitutional amendments. The
or.e 1r question was submitted at the reg
ular e.eol'on In 18X6. On the face of the
returns, ss filed with the secretary of
state, the amendment failed of passage.
In the stipulation of facts filed It was
agreed that by the constitution of 1875 the
compensation of members of the leglsla
ture was fixed at 13 a day for a session of
only forty days duration and that at the
general election n November, 1RS6, there
waa duly submitted a proposed amendment
whereby the compensation was Increased
to $5 a day for a session of sixty days.
It was stipulated that the secretary of
state's records show that there had been
cast, according to the abstracts of votes In
his office for the amendment 65.712 votes
and against It 22,236 and that the total
cast at the election was 13S.SU. .That the
legislature met In Joint convention Jan
uary 6, 1887, and canvassed the returns.
declaring tne amendment lost and as
Joint convention adjourned sine die. On
February It a bill providing for a recount
of the votes cast was Introduced. It passed
both houses and was approved by the gov.
ernorl A recount was had and It was de-
clared that there had been cast for the
amendment 72.497 votes and agslnst It 22,
1X3, that of these not voting there were
27.771 and of those voted for and against
the amendment there were 16.01 J. The total
waa declared to be 13S.CS, and the amend
ment having received a majority of that
number was declared adopted. The amend
ment has thence forward been a part of
the constitution.
Basis of Contention.
In his argument, as well as that of Mr.
Whedon, It was claimed that this was spe
dal legislation and as such Inhibited by
the constitution; that there was no aa
thorlty tn law to give the legislature the
right to canvass the votes; that this act
waa Intended as an amendment of the gen
eral election law and did not specifically
state what It sought to amend; that It
was retroactive legislation and therefore
- ungntoryf IfcA W legislature, -while It may
change the law when It pleases. Is still
bound by the law as It exists before any
tinkering Is done, .and that therefore it
exceeded Its power and was In contraven
tion of the law when It sought to act.
Deputy" Attorney General Brown for the
stato defended the action of the legislature.
He said that the amendment was carried
by the people and the legislature had the
right to prescribe a method by which It
could be exactly found out. The legislature,
he said, had a clear right to pass a law
which provided for the canvassing and
counting, and that It was not special leg Is
latlon because It was not of a character
tnhtblted by the constitution. The legis
lature waa the people and this waa a light
retained by the people. Tu-r? (being no
procedure for determining how an amend
rnent had carried, other than by comput
ing the returns from each of the counties.
the legislature could, even by resolution,
gather In the ballots. When there Is no
general law, he claimed, there waa no In
hlbltlon agalnat a special law when the

case required It. and In this case there
wb nothing applicable
Judge Holme took the matter under ad
visement. He aald the question hinged en
tirely upon the authority of the legislature
to pass such a law. If It had the right it
ended the controversy. He realised that
the case Involved more than the mere
matter of saving Mr. Ryan his taxes, but
his evident suggestion thst he would like
to know what the case was really begun

stitution from Impairment.
Wants Writ of Habeas Corpsi.
Raymond Smith, sentenced In the district
court of Sheridan county to a year In the
state penitentiary, 'applied today to the
Lancaster district court for a writ of
habeas corpus, claiming that Warden
Beemer was unlawfully restraining him of
his liberty. Smith once pleaded guilty to
an Information against him, charging that
he broke Into the house of J. N. Morrison
In Gordon precinct with the Intent to as
sault a domestic, but his attorney at once
filed a motion In arrest of Judgment, urging
technical point of no preliminary, ant by
this means secured a reversal of the case
In the supreme court.
It was urged by Smith's counsel that
thero was nothing for the local authorities
to do, after the supreme court acted, but
to release the man. The district Judge
thought differently, and ordered an Infor
mation charging him with burglary filed
A plea In bar was entered, but tho court
Instructed the Jury that the plea was of
no avail, and sentenced him to a year In
the prison. The man was hurriedly brought
here and this explains why the action was
begun In this county. The grounds alleged
are that he Is being held without any lawful
authority or legal commitment. The hear
ing haa been set for June 25.
Paroles Defaaltlna; Treaaarer.
The fact has Just gained publicity that
Governor Mickey nearly a month ago
paroled A. B. Norlln, ex-treasurer of Kear
ney county, who was sent to the penlten
tiary for six years for embezzlement of
county funds. Norlin came to the peni
tentiary July 12, 1902, His sentence, with
good time deducted, will expire December
10, 1306. He Is paroled to John BJorklund
to work on the latter's farm near Mlnden
for 120 a month.
Norlln's case was peculiar. It was an
nounced one morning that the office or the
county treasurer had been robbed and the
county treasurer assaulted therein. The
story looked plausible until Detective M
lone of Lincoln went out and Investigated,
when It was found that certain Indications
pointed to the probability that Norlln had
robbed the vault and then assaulted him
self. After having been In the sweatbox
for a time Norlln broke down, admitted
that such waa the case and conducted the
officers to where a lot of the stolen money
was secreted In a cornfield.
After he had made a clean breast of the
matter he Insisted that he wanted to begin
serving out the penalty as quickly as pos
sible. He ples-ied guilty and waa brought
to ths pe-.itentlary without unnecessary
delay. He haa been a model prisoner and
has for some time been a trusty at the
prison. Meantime his father has paid back
all of the money taken which waa not
found In the cornfield and the resentment
of the people of Kearney county has been
allayed. There was a large petition from
the people of that county asking thst he
be paroled.
Governor Mickey has not been very lib
eral with his parol power. There are. how
ever, two others who have won considers
tton In that respect. One of them was a
young Bohemian from Saline county who
had stuck a knife Into a brawling ad
versary In a drunken row. This young
man wss paroled to a man 'who la not a
patron of saloons upon the pledge of the
prisoner that he would not go near
saioon. nmnr Denenciary was young
snarp or arpy county, convicted of rob
blng freight cars of the Missouri Pacific
by scattering goods therefrom along the
track between stations so that confederates
could pick them up.
There is another case that la now being
inveaugaiea py ine governor and which
may result in an absolute pardon. It Is
that of Mike Mrkvlcka or Makvlcka, an old
Bohemian whose home Is In Howard
county and who was sent up for one year
on conviction of having received stolen
prcperty. A petition for his pardon has
been signed by the presiding Judge and ten
members of the Jury. It Is claimed that
the old man was not guilty. In that he be
lieved the property, which was In the form
of hogs, was his own property when he
received It He Is said to be the father
of fourteen children, tnost of whom are at
home and needing his attention.
Rhea Case Troablcsom.
The executive mall continues to be bur
dened with petitions and remonstrances
for and against the execution of William
Rhea and a great deal or maudlin senti
ment Is finding expression both around
the governor's office and at the peniten
tiary. There are, aa usual in such caaea,
many women who are Inclined to gush,
and It la exciting comment that among
those who visit the penitentiary to see
and sympathize with him are several femi
nine employes at the state house.
The pressure being brought to bear upon
the governor, however, la not harmoniously
of one mind, by any means.. There are
many remonstrances agalnat any disturb
ance of the action of the courts and Jury
being received, and among them was one
today from the Board of Supervisors of
Dodg county, who represented to the gov
ernor that Rhea had had the benefit of a
fair and Impartial trial and waa not en
titled to any clemency.
Among the communications received are
several from members of the Jury that
convicted Rhea. One of these has written
the governor that he had not favored the
death penalty and had hung out agalnat
It for a long time alone, but finally came
around to acquiesce In It because It was
urged that to send the man-to the pen-
tentlary for life would simply mean that
he would be pardoned before death and
the purpose of the jury and the law would
thus be defeated.
There la apparent reason to believe that
the efforts of the petitions for Rhea'a com
mutation have not aucceeded In convincing
the governor that the responsibility for
Rhea's death will rest on him. He seems
to be reliant upon the conviction that the
responsibility rests with the court and the
Jury.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
It la something at leaat, that, in barring
the women from Armour Institute, the
faculty haa not announced that It wss
done for the benefit of the women them
selves. On the other hand, Dean Howard
M. Raymond Is credited with saying: "The
scholarship of the young men will be bet
ter with the girls out of here." Now if
the scholarship of morale either of college
men had decreased any since the estab
lishment of co-educatlonal institutions,
there might be some reasonable excuse for
objecting to women In such Institutions,
but as statistics show no decrease In these
respects among men, but only that the
women have on the average outstripped
them a bit, their objection looks more like
an excuse than logic. It Is certainly an
admission against the stability of college
men that thelt association with the highest
type of cultured educated womanhood
should retard their best efforts and one
cannot help but wonder If It Is because
college women have recognised thia fact
that they are so slow to marry; also, what
Dean Raymond, President Harper and the
rest of their belief are going to do to these
fellows when they get them alone.
The week'a meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance union will be de
voted to the work of the franchise depart
ment and will be lead by Mrs. Patterson,
superintendent of the franchise committee
of the state organisation. Mrs. George

club, has Issued a call to all mmebera of

which will be held at t o'clock Wednesday
afternoon li. the Young Women's Christian
association rooms The combined effort
of the women's organizations of the state
In behalf of the women's property rights
bill defeated In the legislature last winter,
has stimulated a fresh Interest In their
enfranchisement and the Importance of
this department Is being emphasized In
unions and cluba all over the state.
Mrs. Maria C. Bibbs of Boon has been ap
pointed state chairman of forestry for
Iowa for the Genersl Federation of
Women's clubs. She also holds the office
of chairman of the state village Improve
ment committee and when the second ap
pointment waa made Mrs. Bibbs announced
that she could not fill both offices. Rather
than have the department go from her
efficient supervision. It has been requested
by the General Federation of Women's
clubs chairman of forestry that the name
of the village Improvement committee be
changed, or added to the forestry com
mittee ao that Mrs. Bibbs might continue
to direct It. This was not deemed ad
visable, however, but resulted in Mrs.
Bibbs consenting to fill both offices.
The Ladles' Literary' society of Waterloo,
la., has recently completed the twenty-fifth
year of its study, and now that definite
communication between cTubs has been
established through federation it develops
that women's clubs are not ruch a recent
Institution after all, but that all over the
country there are such iissoclations that
have been quietly at work for a generation
or more. Nor is It longer considered a
coincidence that such clubs are Invariably
found In towns that bear other evidences
of progress and culture. Though while the
stamp of the cultured, refined woman is
easily recognised about everything In her
own home. It took a long time for people
to make like deductions In the case of com
munlty refinement. In the towns and cities
of Iowa and many other states the women's
clubs that have been In existence tor from
ten to thirty years are by no means scarce
Twenty-eight years ago Dubuque had a
literary association that enrolled a number
of women who are now among the foremost
workers of the Iowa federation, among
them Mrs. D. N. Cooly. And to how large
an extent have these same clubs been re
sponsible for the advancement of their re
spectlve communities.
On of the officers of the sixth division
of the railway mall service has recently
expressed his appreciation of the work of
the Woman's auxiliary for the uplifting of
the service. He said: "I believe the work
already done and that planned Is worthy
of the most cordial commendation on the
part of every officer of our service." Mrs.
F. H. Cole of Omaha la serving her second
term as president of the national auxiliary.
The annual convention will be held In

Or if you suffer with sleeplessness or if
