There are to be five days of racing, be ginning on Monday, September 16, and continuing until Friday, September 30, inclusive. A revolver in the pocket of the ed itor of the Ewing Advocate "went off” while he was standing in the postofllce and gave the crowd a scare.

Seed Grain for Nebraska* A recent Issue of the Philadelphia Press contains an editorial concerning Nebraska's urgent need of seed grain. It says: Senator William V. Allen on his re turn from Washington finds and reports that large numbers of his constituents are in a most deplorable condition through their unpreparedness to meet the requirements of the coming year. Senator Allen asks that help be given these struggling farmers of western Nebraska, and he asks it of those who can easily afford to assist them. In re ply to a telegram of inquiry from this state as to what form of aid would be most beneficial the Nedraska senator wires the following reply: Madison, Neb., March 31.—What can be done in the way of sending seed grain? There is great necessity for prompt action. William V. Allen. In responsse to the representations of Senator Allen and the other evidences of the immediate needs of the drouth Bufferers in western Nebraska it is pro posed that Pennsylvania shall send at once to these seedless farmers twenty five carloads of seed wheat. With its accustomed liberality and world-famed public spirit the Pennsylvania Railroad company enters into the proposal and offers to do its share, as the following letter to one of the gentlemen who have interested themselves in the mat ter attests: My Dear Sir: Replying to your com munication of the 31st, inst, enclosing letter from United States Senator W. V. Allen, in regard to the transporta tion of twenty-five carloads of seed wheat contributed by the farmers of the state of Pennsylvania to be distrib uted among the sufferers in Nebraska, I would say that the Pennsylvania Railroad company will cheerfully transport ffee the wheat referred to from points in Pennsylvania to Chica go, which point, as you know, is as far in the direction of the destination of the wheat as our lines extend. Very truly yours, Phans Thompson, First Vice President Philadelphia, March 35, 1S95. Secretary Rdge can not do better to signalize his promotion to be the head of tho Department of Agriculture in the state government of Pennsylvania than to take charge at once of the col lection and transmission of seed wheat from this state to the stricken farmers of Nebraska. The need is urgent. Transportation is provided free, for no doubt some one or more of the railroads from Chicago to Nebraska will not con sent to be outdone in generosity to the people of Nebraska by the Pennsylva nia railroad. The opportunity is given to the farmers of Pennsylvania to help their brethren of the west But it should not be left to the farmers alone. These twenty-five carloads of seed grain should be collected promptly, for its transportation and distribution will consume some time, and if it is to answer its purpose it must be in the ground within a very few weeks. This call for help from Nebraska should meet with immediate and generous response from Pennsylvania. I The i oung Men’s Christian associa ; tion of the Third district of Nebraska held tlieir sixth annual convention at \ Kushville March Sit, 30 and 31.

LEGISLATIVE LABOR CEING THAT WHICH APPLIES TO NEBRASKA. A Good Many Measures Being Pat Through In the Closing Days of the State Assembly—The Governor Exer cises tlie Veto Power in Several Bills-— Some Measures that lie Has Signed— Miscellaneous News and Notes. The Nebraska Assembly* •Ffjtatf.—The senate put in the afternoon on tho let in pusllng bills to third reading. '1 ho only bill of importance passed and sent back to the house was the salary bill, appro priating tot ft, ODu for the payment of salaries and wages of state officers, supe» lntendents of state institutions, clerks, assistants, etc. The iiill appropriates £1(1, .0 more than it did when it passed the house und it must j therefore go hark for concurrence. Of the increased appropriations fett.3 0 consists of i niseo salaries for offices already in exist ence and for new offices created by the present legislature. It Is believed that the house will concur In the amendments. '1 lie bill providing for the appointment of lawyers as judges pro tern under certain circumstances was read a third time and passed. Another 1)111, read the third time and passed, amends in very many particu lars the law governing the appraisement of state educational lands, hate in the afternoon the senate took up for third reading senate tile 2.2, the bill which last Thursday afternoon brought about the Stowurt episode. The bill was passed, hut only seventeen votes could be mustered, and the emergency clause was knocked out. The bill was introduced by Noyes of Douglas county, and makes anum berof radical arneiHlmenis to the school law, and is particularly obnoxious m the senators from the western part of ihe state. The provision to which they most particu larly object is the one which recites: "if any school district for the period of one year fail to maintain a school for a term of at least three consecutive months, or keep Its organization of officers, or if there lias been an average at tend since for three consecu tive months of live pupils or less, such dis trict shall lapse and the money in t he coun tv treasury belonging thereto bo divided among tiie other districts of the county.” Another objectionable section was the one providing that the maximum limit of any school district levy shall po 15 mills Inste id of 25, us under the present law. The senate read the third time and passed the joint resolution and memorial to congress asking for the cession of Fort Omaha to the state of Nebraska. Hot8F.—In the house on the 1st the gov ernor sent in a message vetoing the Omaha police bill. I ostponement of consideration for the present was moved. Mr. Barry ob jected, citing the following from the consti tution: rcctlon 15, Article V. Veto.—If he approve he shall sign it and thereupon it shull Leconie a law; but if he do not approve lie shall return It with his objections to the house In which It shall have originated, which house shall enter the objections at large upon its journal and proceed to recon sider the bill, i urry argued that the sense of the constitution was that tho house should proceed immediately to considera tion of the veto measure and vote upon the bill. When the speaker announced tho written motion he as timed the responsibil ity of changing the wording of the motion t«» make it apply to house roll No. l.il). This interference on the part of the speaker was vigorously objected to by Jiowurd and Harry. They claimed that after the motion had been read and had become the property of the house the speaker had no right to as sume the grave responsibility of changing the wording on his own motion. Tho point of order made bv Howard was overruled. Van Housen moved that Ricketts’motion to make the veto messugo a special order for Wednesday be laid on the table, and de manded a roll call. Van Housen’s motion was defeated by nays 42, yeas 22. The fol lowing bill were read a third time and passed: House roll No. 2t>3 by Spencer, amending the Consolidated Statutes relat ing to lncoiporation of street railways. House roll No. 243, bp Rhodes, barring an insane wife’s dower and Interest In her hus band’s real estate. House roll No. 2P, Dy Brady, authorizing cities of the second class and villages to impose a special license on insurance companies. House roll No. 557, by liecher. providing for spring elections in cities of the second class and villages.

House roll No. .'R% by Lamborn, providing for a method of purchasing supplies for tho legislature and to regulate the use and care ox the same. cenate.—In tho senate, on the 2d, the committee on banks and currency recom mended the passage of house roll No. 101. This is the new banking law, introduced in both houses. Each branch of the legisla ture passed its own bill, but as amended the house bill was the more acceptable. Several senators, however, desired to add one or two amendments, and it was therefore made a special order for a o’clock. The senate then rvadjfor the third time and passed nou.'.e roll No. *50, a bill Introd'aced by Da vies, to amend the law defining the manner in which proposed amendments to the con stitution may be voted upon. The gambling bill introduced early in thesession oy Hahn, and which was so radically amended by the senate last week, was read the third time and passed. Senate file No. M), by Graham, to require and regulate tho registration or voters for election purposes in cities of the metropolitan, first and second class, was read the third time and passed. Holorook. from the committee on manufac tures and commerce, reported back the bill passed by the house ana known as the gov ernor’s oleomargarine bill, being a measure introduced by McKeeby upon the recom mendation of Governor Holcomb. The com mittee recommended that the bill be passed and it went to the general flic. The sifting committee reported six senate bills and eight house bills with tho recommendation that they be considered immediately. These are the last s- nate files that will be acted upon at the present session. None of them were of extreme importance. The lieuten ant governor appointed as tho senate con ference committee on the salary appropria tion bill £enuturs Graham, Black and Caldwell. The senate is being importuned every moment of the day to pass this bill or that bill for tho benefit of private individu als. Some of these bills provide places for new officials. Some enable individuals to accomplish their own private ends. Few of them are of importance to the state at larue. The senate has enough to do if it will confine itself to the work of passing the apptopria.ion bills. "House.—In the house on the 2d house roll No. 607, by J udd, providing for the eject ment of Contractor Porgan from the peni tentiary, was passed by a vote of to 2. The bill authorizes the appropriation of .000 for the purpose of buying out Dor pan, the present prison contractor, and for other necessary expenses incident thereto, i hree appraiser* of the contractor's prop erty are to be appointed, one by tho Board of Public lands and Buildings, one hv i or gan and one by the governor. Should Por gan fail to select his appraiser the other two are to proceed and annrai.se the nrnn. erty. i ne toiiowing uuts on third reading were parsed: Providing for a county hoard of equalization of assessments; providing that county assessors shall assess property without reference to the assessment hooks of the preceding year; for the relief of David b.

Fixate.— In the senate on the ad the sift ing committee reported seventeen addi tional bl.ls for immediate consideration, all house rolls, numbered as follows: 6 , SOI. 87, 21*4. 457. 346, 5-6. 136, 28. 392, 585, 510, 232.

Just before the noon recess the senate went into the committee of the whole to consider bills in the sifting file. Senate file No. 128, providing for the government of mutual life insurance companies, was read and then indefinitely postponed. The bill authorizing the secretary of state to designate newspapers in which the pro posed amendments to the constitution shall be printed, instead of permitting the governor to do so, was taken up and passed over the governor’s veto by a strict party vote. The senate then resumed the order of bills on third reading. The first bill passed was house roll No. 1 »1, known us the state? banking act. It makes a number of .material amendments in the present law, tiie principal feature of the hew law being the provision which relieves the supreme court of the burden of the Immense amount of business occasioned by the failure of banks. At present the supreme court has exclusivo jurisdiction over broken banks, and as there are constantly from forty to sixiy suspended banks in the court, at least one-thiru of the time of the supreme bench is taken up in this way. The district courts will have charge of the work in the future. The Lincoln charter was read the third time and passed. House.—In the house on the 3d the follow ing bills were passed: Authorizing the governor to appoint three commissioners to act with a like commission of routh Dakota in ascertaining the correct boundary line between that state and Nebraska, so far as the same may be the line » etween Clay j county in South Dakota and Dixon county [ In Nebraska; to pension firemen of paid lire I departments after a continuous service of twenty-one years, and the widows and or ! nhans of firemen who lose their lives in the line of duty: (elating to contracts for the sale, lease or hire of railroad and street railway equipment: authorizing counties, townships, pierincts, cities and villages to issue bonds 10 aid in the construction of wagon toll bridges across any boundary i river in tho state; providing for the nomi | nation of public officers by certificate; em powering cities of tho second class of more than 5,0*0 and less than 2».U00 inhabitants to purchase or own and improve land for parks and public grounds and to bond such cities for that purpose; the Omaha canal bill, to enable counties to issue bonds to construct and operate canals for naviga tion, water power and other purposes.

The clerk read a message from the governor In which he declined to give his signature to senate file 335, providing that the secre tary of state, instead of the governor, shall name If he papers in which the constitutional amendments shall bo published.

The vote on the bill resulted in 62 votes to 0 in favor of overriding tho governor’s veto. Senate.—In the senate on the 4t.h the im migration bill was considered. The judici ary committee recommended that the bill be passed just as It came from the house, and that It be advanced to third reading. Tiie report was adopted. House roll No. 31. reducing the. interest on state warrants, was indefinitely postponed for the reasou I that it was not an exact counterpart of sen- ! ate file No. 25,which had already been pass- 1 ed by both houses and signed by the gover nor. House roll No.'8S4, known as Benedict’s age of consent bill, was considered. The senate then, by an almost unanimous vote, ordered the bill advanced to third leading after adonting the amendments recommen ded by the judiciary committee. As amend ed, the bill now reads as follows: ‘'if any person shall have carnal knowledge of any other woman, or female child, than his daughter or sister, as aforesaid forcibly and against her will; or if any male person, of the age of 18 years or upward, shall carnal ly know or abuse any female child under tne ago of 18years, with her consent, unless said female child so known and abused is over 15 years of age and previously unchas ed. and every such pereon so offen ding shall be deemed guilty of rape, und shall be Imprisoned in the pen itentiary not more than twenty years nor less than three years.” The Louse county depository law bill was passed.

The bill provides that the Milford Sanitarium shall bo used us a soldiers’ home by the slate, providing that the rent shall be free for two years. The bill was recommended to pass. The appropriation bill wa? passed. Lindsay created a diversion by moving that house roll No. ’TO be ordered to third read ing. Tliis was the insurance bill which the senate had ordered Crane to return. The | opponents of the bill endeavored to force an adjournment, but failed, and Lindsay s motion was agreed to. Before adjourning the senate adopted a resolution of Watson’s cyrecting the secretary of state to hang in the senate chamber a portrait of the late ex-Lieutenant Governor E. O. Cams of Sew ard, the frame to bear a silver plate in scribed with a suitable inscription setting forth the public services of the deceased lieutenant governor. llocsE.—In the house on the 4th the speak er appointed Burch, Koddy and Harris a committee to act with a similar body from the senate, to arrange for the selection of six trustees of the Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City.

After remaining in session for nearly a week the .*tate Relief commission, on the 2d, finished its work of apportioning among the several counties of the state the $2.0,00.) recently appropriated, and the results were this afternoon reported to the senate. In making the report Secretary Ludden says: I um directed by the commission to add this “Exhibit B” to our weekly report, it being the division of the $20 ‘,000 appropri ated to provide seed and feed for the desti tute farmers in this state in accordance with house roll 625. As soon as we had com pleted the pro-i ating, the commission com plied with section 2 and instructed the president and secretary to make the proper requisition on the auditor in favor of the several treasurers of the counties entitled to aid. We have complied with section 3 and appointed county relief commissions In the sixty-one counties. In pro-rating we followed section 7, but in arriving at the number of farmers in need the commission was compelled to use tables prepared show ing the actual number of farmers in the several counties;/he number of acres im proved and unimproved land in each; the actuul number of farmers as shown by the records of the several county clerks; as a xuriner neip we usea me total vote cast In several counties in 1‘1M, and alsQ the school census of 1MH; the number of families fe ported in need in the several counties by their respective county relief commissions, in accordance with section 11: and from the reports made by members of the commission its :v result of their visits to the several counties. These several Items in the respective counties applying for aid were carefully tubulated, and the commission believes a lust and equitable conclusion as to the num ber of farmers actually needing seed and feed in said counties and unable to procure the same was reached. The money was then apportioned in accordance with the findings of the commission, pro-rated ac cordng to the number of farmers in need of aid in their several counties.
