Xo. 41.1, by Williams, for the compilation and publication of the statutes, was read the third time and passed by a vote of 82 yeas to 3 nays. According to the provisions of this hill, J. K. Cobby of Heatrice shall do the work at his own ex pense and the volumes shall not be sold for more than $2.50 per cop3 V II. R. No. :r2, by Vandeventcr, was passed by a vote of 80 yeas and no nays. This bill provides that no county treasurer shall be entitled to receive any fee or per centum on any money collected or turned over to him by any township, city or village treasurer. II. R. No. 197, by Williams, was passed by a vote ot Ol yeas to tz. nays. This bill appropriates $25,(XXJ for additional buildingsat the insti tute for feeble minded youth, situa ted at Heatrice. V Jl. R. No. 170, by Hreen, was read and placed upon its passage. This bill is an act to incorporate cities of the first class having less tliau 25,000 and more than 8,000 Inhabi tants. It was introduced for the benefit of South Omaha where there is a large amount of grading to do, made necessary by the numerous hills within its limits. The only oh ject of the bill is to allow ten years' time in which to pay grading tax, instead of having the assessment fall due at one time. It will enable poor men to hold their lots. The bill was passed without a vote in the negative. The Stale journal says that the maximum rate bill, II. R. No. 12, will not be sent from the engross ing room to Governor Doj'd before tomorrow morning, and it will re quire the united efforts of the entire force to have it ready by that time, liarly yesterday morning a stir was ma.Ie in that department when the committee on enrolled and en grossed bills found that a Nebraska City man had been appointed to as sist in the work. On account of his affiliations lie was mistrusted by the committee and unceremoniously lired. The committee room is now kept locked for fear some one may interfere with the work of engross i ng. Mrs. Win. Tighe was thought to be dangerously ill yesterday but she js much better tins morning. Gordon Knotts is in the city today from Council UluJfs, on his way to Des Moines, where he expects to at tend school. Deputy Sheriff Tighe took G. I. Smith, the forger, up to the peneten- tiary this morning to serve out Ins 18 months' sentence. The Sutton Wreck. Fuller details of the wreck at Sut ton yesterday indicate that engine 203, with Bob Smith, engineer, to which was attached a snow plow, was coupled ahead of 245, the mogul which was pulling the flyer, and at a speea ot ntty mites per hour. they ran into the rear of a freight which was said to have been run ning at the rate of twenty-five miles per hour. The blinding enow from the snow plow prevented the engi neer from seeing anything in front of him. Twenty freight cars were ditched, the baggage car and mail coach smashed and one of the' pas senger coaches was turned, on its side, yet no one was hurt except the fireman and engineer on the second engine, wnicti was thrown some thirty feet on its side. 'Engineer Roberts was caught under the en gine with his hand on the lever and was not removed until about four o'clock yesterday from under the powerful mogul. His fireman, Mr. Udell, was caught tin der the coil and scnlded horribly so that he cn-tl before he could be removed to Lincoln. A freight car loaded with cattle was thrown on top of engine 203, yet the engi neer and fireman escaped without a scratch. Ttie cause ot the wreck is naid to have been a mistake of the train dispatcher's in his orders to No. 77. It is understood that there mains of Mr. Roberts will be brought here this evening on the ly er. Speaking ot' th deceased the Lincoln Journal says: "The remains of both the unfortu nate men were brought to Lincoln last evening and taken to.Undertakrr Roberts' establishment where they now are. Fireman Udell died on the way to this cit anil when about j two miles out of tovn. ' John G. Roberts is u married man j and his wife is now visiting at t ier- i inaiitowti, this state. .She will come in on the 10 a. m. train and then de termine what she will do with th remains of her husband. Fireman Udell is also a married man. His wife is in Omaha visiting. She has been telegraphed the sad new of her husband's death and will arrive this morning. It is pos sible that Udell's remains will be shipped to Niagara Falls for inter- Pairi( Away. Father Robert II. Polk, an old and dearly beloved citizen of New Castle, aged t years, lias been ill for seve ral weeks, gradually sinking, atid since Saturday has seemed to be hovering over the grave. A the hour of going to press he was very low and his demise was expected at any moment. His son, John F.Polk, arrived from Greenwood, Nebraska, Monday evening, and h is daughters, Mrs. John Newby and Mrs. Jacob Kennard, are at his bedside. Other relatives were expected to arrive from Nebraska last evening, and the family felt that the good old man, whose faculties continued bright and clear, was exerting his vitality to keep alive until he could say farewell to all. New Castle (Ind.) Courier. . Since the above was printed, Robt. 11. Polk has passed to the great beyond. He visited Nebraska annu ally for the past fifteen years, and his kindly face was known to many of our citizens. He was born in 1N00 and was a young man grown when his grandfather died, he having been born in 17(55, so that by word of mouth he was familiar not only with the revolutionary war, his father being an officer therein, but with all the acts which lead up to it. Mr. Polk's mind gave no indi cation of his great age; his recollec tion was perfectly clear as to events of yesterday or nearlj'a century ago It had been his fortune to live al most to the end of a wonderful cen tury, the most progressive the world has ever known, and to hear him relate the opinions that were prevalent in the early years of the century was indeed interesting. Kidney troubles, superinduced by a bad cold, were the immediate cause of his death, as otherwise his health was quite good. He died as he had lived, peacefully and happi ly, though deeply mourned by scores of people who realized that "Uncle Robert" or "Grand Pa" was called away and that his great kind heart had been stilled forever. He was buried with imposing ceremo nies by the Masonic fraternity, having been a member for nearly three-fourths of a century. From Friday Daily Reassuring. A prominent citizen of this cit' called at the C. R & O. headquarters in Chicago the other day and en quired as to the company's inten tions as to Plattsmouth. He was very positivelj' assured by the man ager that the sh.ps would be full of men in a very short time, and that the Havelock plant would not re duce the Plattsmouth pay 'roll a single dollar. That the Havelock shops would be new, and that no work would be moved from Platts. mouth up there. Such positive as surance from the vice-president of the great Q. sj-stem, our informant thinks, ought to have great signifi cance attached to it. He believes from his talk with officials that Plattsmouth has a right to expect some new shops here this year. F. II. Ellenbaum was an Omaha passenger this morning. Bird Critchfield went to Lincoln today. Elder J. A. Williams, of King City, Missouri, is visiting his cou sin Mrs. Bird Critchfield. He goes to Lincoln today and will occupy the pulpit in the Christian church in this city Sunday. W. L. Browne has gone to Minne apolis, Minn, on important legal business. Colonel J. A. Connor cashed up over $8,000 yesterday as his profits on some corn deals. For a ten days profit with a small investment, we would like to know who can beat it. The snow, although wet and heavy all over Western Nebraska is from eighteen inches to two feet deep. As most of the wheat is sown in Western Nebraska tin's will bring it up with mo:titre enough to keep it growing for several weeks. The remains of Fireman Udell, ac companied by his wife, his brother and a delegation of Odd Fellows from the lodge to which he belonged in Omaha passed through yester day evening on the flyer, bound for the former home of the deceased at Niagara Falls. New York. Mrs. J. G. Roberts came in last night ami will accompany tier Hus band's remains to his former home in West Virginia. They go east on the flyer this evening.

The prize is well worth the eifort and if some business man or the mayor would go down to St. Louis we might get i round $100,000 for this city. A Pon Mortem. A post mortem examination of the body of Mrs. Donat was made by Drs. Schildknecht and Humph rey yesterday afternoon. It weenis Mrs. Donat had been sick for .some time and the physicians could not agree as to her trouble, hence, Dr. Schildknecht desired to if possible confirm his belief of the existence of cancer of the stomach, that being the result of Dr. Huinphrei-'s diag nosis also. On investigation their theory proved true as she was found invested with a large cancer of the stomach which was the immediate cause of her death. New Laws, The following measures have passed the legislature and only await the g-overiior's signature to become a part of the statutes: S. F No. 23, by Moore, was passed tn the house without an emergency clause by a vote of 02 yens to Onays. This bill reduces the fees of county treasurers by striking out the 5 per cent for collecting delinquent tnxe's. 11. R. No. 83, the bill apportioning state into congrressional districts, was react the third time, and passed the senate with an affirmative vote 24. H. R.
