Ever since Robert Ryan began hla cele
brated suit to overturn the legislative ac
tion of 1887 in declaring carried the consti
tutional amendment .relating to salary and
Sessions of the legislators the politicians
have been trying to figure out what was
behind It all. Mr. ; Ryan has repeatedly
declared that he was acting solely In the
Interest of the law,-believing that the In
tegrity of the state constitution demanded
that such attempts at amendment should
not be permitted. It has been hinted re
cently that aa a matter of fact the cor
porations of the- state were behind the
move. -
The motive assigned la that they think
sixty days too long a time. Forty days la
a pretty fair average for lobbyists. After
that their ways become too open, too many
malcontents are reared up and trouble fol
lows. It la In the closing days that the
railroad agents fiavs most of their troubles
and a' shorter session might mitigate these,
Deputy." Attorney Oeneral Brown Is busy
preparing- for the slate's appeal from Judge
Holmes' decision. He thinks that the de
cision will be overturned. He has found
decisions holding that legislative adoption
of ah amendment and action thereunder
by the state officers deprives the courts of
any tight to go into the matter, since the
adoption of an amendment is a political
act within the sole province of the legis
lature. The theory Is that the legislature Is
supreme when exercising political functions
of accepting constitutional amendments.
One of the Nebraska cases holds that to
permit the courts to go back of the action
of the legislature might in certain cases
be a sort of. state suicide since the state
without a constitution would be reduced
to the state of nature dear to the hearts
Of old times political philosophers.

Llllle Transcript Filed.
A big, bulky transcript and record was
filed by attorneys for Mrs, Lena M. Llllle,
convicted in the district court of Butler
county of murder, with the clerk of the
supreme court today. The record Is one
of the largest ever filed in that court.
There are 1,638 typewritten pages of mat
ter in the record of the trial and the mo
tion for a rehearing, while the questions
asked on the trial as given in the record
number 12,095.
The petition In error urges that there
was bias in the minds of the Jurors who
brought In the verdict finding Mrs. Llllle
guilty of shooting her husband, Harvey Lll
lie,' In October, 1902. Objection is made
also to the weight given the testimony of
persons who had seen Mrs. Llllle fire off a
revolver. It Is claimed, too, that the ad'
mission of testimony showing that Mrs
I.lllfe failed to exhibit grief commensur
ate with the loss she had sustained, was
error on the part of the trial court. The
witnesses testified on that point that she
had been at the bedside of the dying man,
but was Apparently unconcerned.
The experiments conducted by several
local sportsmen shortly before the trial to
determine the effect of the revolver flash
on lace curtains at different ranges are
also' alleged to have been improperly ad
mltted as evidence. The testimony of a
former pupil of Mrs. Llllle that he had
seen his teacher several years before fire
at a hat and miss it is also under the ban
of the defendant's attorneys as being too
far-fetched to show that the defendant Is
In any way guilty of the, crime charged
against her. ' Several of the Instructions
given by the court to the Jury are made
the basis for exceptions.
The sixth instruction as to the charac
terlstlcs of malice Is alleged to be incorrect,
as are the instructions as to the right of
the Jury to base a verdict on circumstantial
evidence where the facts exclude every
other reasonable hypothesis of the condi
tions surrounding the crime. Another in
struction telling the Jury that the verdict
should not be influenced In any way by the
effects which follow a conviction Is cb
Jected to, while another instruction that
the evidence need not show any motive
for the commission of the crime to Justify
a verdict of guilty meets with a similar
objection.
Tho briefs have not yet been filed, but
they are expected at any time and then the
attorney general will begin the work o
preparing the state's brief. The case may
come up at the September sitting of the
court.
Mrs. Llllle is still confined in the Butler
county bourthouse at David City under
guard. In some cases prisoners are taken
to the penitentiary immediately after con
victlon, but in this case, put of deference
to the sex of the prisoner, she will be kept
In Butler county until the issue Is finally
determined in the supreme court. Should
the court remand the case for a new trial
she will probably be released on ball. If
the conviction is affirmed she will be taken
to the penitentiary to begin her life sen
tence. Another trial would probably be
held In some other county, since one of the
allegations rrade by tho defense was tha
local prejuuice against the prisoner made
it impossible to secure a fair trial In But'
ler county.
Will Parana Stir Idea.
Attorney General Prout, State Architect
Tyler and Superintendent Kearna of the
Hastings Insane asylum left tonight for an
tour of several eastern states to glean In
formation as to the "cottage" plan of car
lng for the Insane. The ideas gained on
this tour will be used in the recoustruct'on
of tho Norfolk asylum. The trip will prob
ably last a week. Toledo will bo the first
city visited and then a stop will be made
at Logansport, Ind., and possibly at Kan
kakee. III. Attorney General Prout is
member of the Board of Publlo Lands and
Buildings, which will have the work of
reconstructing the Norfolk institution in
charge, and he goes as the official represen
tatlve of that body, while the state arch!
tcct will secure plans tor the work In the
state.
The members of the board are greatly In
favor of the proposed plan. The Logans
poit institution la said to be one of the
best In the world. It was constructed by
an expert who made a tour of all the Im
portant Institutions of the European coun
tries and It is supposed to embody the lat
est Ideas In raring for the Insane. The
central Idea of the schema Is to keep the
patients In several detached buildings In
stead of In thJaxge prison-like structures
which have been used in the past. The sur
roundlngs are said to be more conductive
to a cure of dementia and the patients are
generally more cheerful because of the
homelike aspect of things. The only objec
tion urged is a slightly Increased cost of
maintenance, although the rrlee per bed la
much lower than under the old system.
The departure of the party for the east
will be good news to the people of Nor
folk, who have been clamoring ever since
the isVournment of the legislature for a
beginning of the work of reconstruction.
The appropriation is 1100,000. This, it Is ex
pected by the members of the board, will
be enough to remodel the old building,
which escaped the fire, Into a modern ad
ministration building and also to provide
for the erection of a few detached build
ings for wsrds.
The Board of Public Lands and Buildings
will try to have the plans completed so
that ths work can be commenced this fall.
Va by the serious illness of his mother, to
tho effect that tho patient is recovering.
Mr. Dodson will visit the old scenes of his
boyhood and enjoy a period of rest before
returning to his duties.
Fight Over School Location.
FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 6. (Special.) A
vigorous fight is in progress In district
No. 72 over the location of the school house.
At a district meeting held June 29, at which
it is said only fifteen voters were presont.
It was voted by a vote of 7 to to move
the school house to the center of the dis
trict. There is a decided difference of opin
ion as to where that point really is, on
account of the Irregular shape of the dis
trict. Contractor William Guetch put a
force of men at work Monday moving the
building, and last night had It half a mile
from Its original location. Thomas Gaughan,
treasurer of the district, last evening got
out an Injunction restraining Guetch and
several other defendants from moving the
building further, on the theory that they
were not moving It to the prpper place. In
anticipation of the Injunction, Mr. Guetch,
under instructions from the other officers
of the district, kept right on at his work
last evening and was 'busy at It when
Sheriff Bauman, who went up to North
Bend on the Grand Island local and drove
north from there to Clyde, arrived and
served the papers. The district court will
have to decide where the center of the
district is. ,i
