At a meeting of the citizens of Ruttt a reorganization of the central relief committee to conform with the re quirements of the state commission was effected. County Commissioners How ard Waro and Charles Hoffman, and (1. T. liastedo and C. 11. Critchficld were selected to fill vacancies, and the mem bers of the old committee were unani mously re-elected. At the election held for the purpose of voting bonds to aid the Co/.ad Irriga tion company In the construction of the ditch north of Cozad the bonds were defeated by nineteen votes.

He was out driv ing with the same team when it ran away the second time, throwing him violently against a tree. A serious stabbing affray took place at a school house about four miles northwest of Ashland, between two boys, Patrick Dalton and Fred Calvert, who are about 14 years of age.

Tub attorney, general served notice on the Standard Oil company that fees for inspection of the ten carloads of oil which ex-t'hief Oil Inspector liilton had inspected, but not collected for, should be paid to Chief Oil Inspector Edmis ton. This oil was inspected at Kear ney, Grand Island, Lincoln, Hastings, York and Omaha during the latter part of January, and for some reason the fees were not collected by Hilton. Uy this move of the attorney-general the fees, amounting to from 8100 to 8150, will be saved to the state. Owing to the shortage of relief sup plies and the entire exhaustion of the eoal, coupled with a fear of such weather as this time of the year fre quently brings, Haydn Strong of North Loup, left last week for Lincoln armed with the necessary credentials to inter view the management of the state re lief commission, with the design of ex pediting the shipment of further sup supplies to that place. The local com mittee has been attempting to fill all reasonable demands to the best of its ability, but the stock on hand is get ting quite low. VVuat might have been a serious fire at Ashland was averted by the heroic action of a child only 13 years old. During the absence of Mrs. ltoy Brush her four small children were all alone when a lamp was knocked off the stand and broken. Fire was set to the sat urated carpet and in a very few mo ments the entire house would have been ablaze had not tho eldest daughter seized the lamp and threw it out the door, and then seized a blanket and threw it over the burning carpet and .smothered the flames. She received a badly cut hand and a severely burned arm. • ihe streets oi Shelby, says a dis patch, were more crowded yesterday than at any other time this year. The town people were out enjoying the warm weather, while those from the country came in to partake of and wit ness the distribution of two large wagon loads of provision that had been sent by the State Relief commission. It was noticeable that very few residing in the immediate neighborhood applied for aid, but many a home in the rough lands of the l'latte north of here was made happy by the sack of flour, the jug of molasses and the bundles of sec ond-hand clothing. A. F. Ai.lk.v, one of Elkhorn’s oldest settlers, ended his life the other day by shooting himself in the head. Mr. Allen was in his 72d year, and for sev eral weeks past he had been bedridden with an attack of pneumonia. He was in the last stages of the disease and his dissolution was a question of but a week or so, at the furthest. It has developed that Carl Roth who lost his life in the sinking of the steam ship Elbe, was not the Carl Roth who resided at Holdrege. Mr. Roth of Hol dregie is still missing, but the man who went down with the Elbe was a resi dent at Hungary, and was bound for Philadelphia. U.YLES6 the governor intercedes, Harry Hill, the Cass county murderer, will be executed March 1st. Hill’s counsel and friends are endeavoring to secure a commutation to life imprison ment, bnt advices received from Lin coln are to the effect that the govAnor has made no move in the matter, it being the usual practice to seek the views of the members of the supreme court and the trial judge, and as the governor has made no request of the judges mentioned, it is generally pre sumed that he is disposed to let the death sentence stand. The commuta tion of the prisoner's sentence would be accepted with considerable regret by the people of Cass county. STATE LEGISLATUBE. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH HOUSES.

House roil No. 31, by Uobiuson, providing for a rate of 7 per cent on county, city, town or other municipal warrants, was recom mended for passage. oRNAJCt—in uie senate on uic iym me forenoon was devoted to routine work.

The bill giving the state university a special levy of H mill on every dollar of real and personal prop erty in the state was passed. Akers offered a resolution directing the appointment of a committee of three to investigate the re port that W. H. Webb, one of Oil Inspect or Edmiston’s bondsmen, had been receiv ing aid from the State Relief commission. Campbell offered an amendment providing that the committee should also inquire into the sufficiency of the official bond given by the state treasurer. The amendment was accepted without a dissenting vote. House.—In the house on the 19th the oleo margarine bill came up. Burch moved that the rules be suspended and the house pro ceed with the order of bills on second read ing. Robinson objected to going out of the regular order. He said that as the friends of the bill had a majority In its favor they should not be afraid to take up the regular order. Senate file 78 had not been read the second time, and as the special order was consideration of house roll 168 and senate tile 78, identical in language, the latter could not be considered In committee of the whole until It had been read twice. The reading continued until senate file 78 had been reached. Then Harrison moved that the house go into committee of the whole on house roll 168 and senate tile 78. The motion Srevalled and Harrison went into the chair. long and animated discussion followed, participated in by many members. A num ber of amendments were offered, but all were rejected.

The bill was amended in a few minor Particulars and recommended for passage. enate file No. 67, by Pope, making a slight change ih the law regulating the fees per mitted county sheriffs was recommended for passage.

The com mittee took up and recommended to pass Graham's bill, providing for the counties paying for the clothing of inmates of the state institute for the feeble minded by ad vancing W() per year for each Inmate sent from the county. Senator t russ' bill, re lating to the manner o/ building and maln ing county roads In counties not under township organization, was also recom mended to pass. The following bills were read the first time. Senate file 324, bv Pope rk of the session can be completed within the legal limit, but ■v a few doubting ones, n importance must come the appro i bills. These must originate in and rough the house before the senate otticial coflnizanee of them. These hleh must pass if the legislature _r__ every other bill, have not yet Eeen^roijorted from the committee on ways and meains. Representative Crow of Omaha, chairmap of that committee, says that the bills will, be ready for introduction Monday or Tuesd ay. If they are not introduced by Tuesday they can only be sent to the house by the governor in a special message, as the chief executive alone Is empowered to introduce bills after the fortieth day has passed. * There a^re two large appropriation bills to be introduced by the ways and means com mittee. These bills will call for a total ex penditure of about $2,00',00 >. If anything, the total amount will exceed $2,000,000. It is, in the judgment of many of the older mem bers, practically Impossible to pass these bills inside of twenty days. In the first place, both bills will have to be considered line by line in the house. They will be con sidered in the same tedious manner in the senate. Every item of the several hundred proposed expenditures will be fought over inch by inch. The friends of each state offi cer ana of each state Institution will fight vigorously to either increase the amount given them by the ways and means commit tee. The same fight will be made in the senate, but not to so great an extent, as there are many good reasons for the belief that the unwieldy republican majority of the upper house will arrive at its conclu clusions much more readily. Twenty days will hardly suffice for the two houses to get together on the two appropriation bills. Relief Supplies About Gone. There was a meeting of the state relief commission on the 22d, for the purpose of considering the future conduct of business and to receive reports as to what has al ready been d ne. All the members of the commission except i)r. Duryea and McClay were present. The reports showed that, ex cept a few barrels of molasses and small quantites of other supplies, there is nothing to distribute There are requests for sup plies, though, and to meet these demands the commission decided to purchase with such money as is available from the legisla tive appropriation and sen d out to the i counties where needed. It was ordered by the board of commissioners that all pur i chases should be made after proposals ! have been asked for, and only sealed bids are to bo considered. The preference in making purchases will be given to Ne braska manufacturers, price and quality ; being equal. All purchases are to be made and bids received by a purchasing commit tee. which was named for that purpose. This committee is composed of W. N. Nason, S. B. Thompson and J. \V. Hartley. Several | bids to furnisii, liominy, oatmeal and rice have been received, but these were not opened, as other bids are expected. The auditing committee reported that bills and vouchers covering $21,3ril.94 have been audited and allowed. Of this amount $2,460.76 was for supplies purchased, $17,704.64 for transportation, $400.65 for sending sup plies into counties, $398.90 for salaries and $387.99 for office expenses. The commission ordered a requisition made for $20,000 of the fund appropriated by the legislature. There had been previously withdrawn $10, 000. This le ives $20 000 of the appropria tion still remaining with which to make the purchases and pay transportation charges. Investigating Standing of Bondsmen. i Oil Inspector Ed mis ton has addressed tht j following to the senate committee appointed ! to investigate his bondsmen, accused of having drawn relief: To toe Honorable Committee of the Sen- j ate of the State of Nebraska, Appointed for the Purpose of Investigating the Official I Honds of J. H. Edmiston and J. S. Bartley, Present State Oil inspector and State Treas- ! urer, Respectively: Gentlemen—Whereas, the honorable senate has taken cognizance of the alledged insufficiency of the bonds of the parties named, and has appointed your honorable committee, without any official notice to either principal or bond>men; therefore, in order to protect the tax payers of the state from the cost of a proposed jun keting tour, to carry out the politital ambi tions of a removed official, I hereby offer an additional bond to be filed with the secre tary of state, making my bond good in a total sum of $40,000, while the law provides only $30,000. I would further suggest that should my bonds, after the acceptance of the one now presented, be deemed at any time insufficient, I stand ready to turn sn additional security for any amount. While I cannot approve of the measures inspired by partisan rancor or to vent personal spleen, I am sure the people of the state will thoroughly appreciate any effort of the senate to protect their interests by requir ing public officials to furnish bonds of un doubted worth. I desire to meet the com mittee in any demands it may make and will gladly furnish bonds in any amount it may indicate. Respectfully, J. H. Edmiston. Co-operative Insurance. The house insurance committee is consid ering house roll 223, providing for co-opera tive life insurance companies. There is some objection made to section 7 of the bill and it is proposed to strike out this section and Insert the following; “No corporation nor assessment organiza tion operating under this act shall i>sue any certificate of membership or policy to any person under the age of 15 or over the age of u5, nor unless the beneficiary under such certificate shall be of the estate of the per son insured in some one who has an insura ble Interest in his or her life, nor shall any certificate or policy be assigned without the consent of the beneficiary named in the pol icy or certificate, nor shall any such corpo ration or association Issue any endowment nr other form of certificate or policy prom ising any definite sum at any stated time prior to death, but nothing herein shall be construed so as to prevent such corpora tion or association from paying equitable surrender values or payment in certain contingencies of disability.” . It is proposed to amend by inserting In the fifth line, after the words “paid agents in soliciting business,” the following. “And it shall t o the duty of the auditor to examine the plans and modus operand! of all the assessment associations seeking ad mission or authority to transact business in this state and he, the auditor, shall be the judge as to whether such association is a se cret .fraternal organization in fact, or whether it shall be governed by this act.” bill is being vigorously opposed by the old line companies, who fear Its results to their business. To Release the State Treasury. Senator Pope introduced a hill yesterday, says the Lincoln Journal, to release the state treasury from loss caused by sus pended state depositories. It recites the loss of $241,36!.83, but the plan of relief seems to simply be the transfer of that sum to the funds that sustained loss. Where the money is to come from is not stated. The state treasurer and auditor may settle the transfer to suit themselves by taking what ever funds are available and crediting it to the four impaired funds. Januarv 21, 1893, the C apital National bank collapsed with 301.83 of state funds on deposit. The Buffalo County National bank of Kearney taiied October 11, 1894, with $5,0 0 on deposit. i5®;„uJl®8 Pn. deposit were: General fund, fo~.41b.69; sinking fund, $80,101.75; temporary school fund, $5,00); live stock indemnity fun $4,843.:.9: total, $241,361.03. As no part of these amounts have been re covered to the state, notwithstanding ti e Tact that proof of the claims were duly filed, the mu provides that the state treasurer Is empowered to credit $241,361.83 to the above funds in the amounts iost, and if any of said iunds are recovered by receivers, dividends or otherwise, they shall be credited propor tionately. Tim auditor is authoi ized to co operate with the state treasurer in charging and crediting as specified. Will Tackle Silver.
