h use, of the Weeping Waier public
schools, will be opened in Weeping
Water, Neb., June L'O, lS'Jl.
'run tkioi.
T'ne term will begin June 29, and
continue for six weeks. This term
will be followed immediately by
the county institute.
The wrk will be of a character
which the experience of the con
ductors shows them is needed, and
will be two-fold in its object.
I'irst It will be such as to greatly
Lenetit those who have never taught,
and
Second -It will be an excellent re
view for those who wish some sup
plemental work to what they have
had in their schools?.
ft Special attention will be given to
theory and art in teaching and to
.school management.
' -j For those who may want to take a
term of vocal or instrumental music
arrangements will be made.
TUITIOX The tuition for the term
of six weeks and the institute fol
lowing will be six dollars, for the
normal alone five dollars.
The music will be extra but the
tuition will be very reasonable.
BOAKDlxii If a number of ladies
desire to furnish their own rooms
and board themselves, we feel war
ranted in saying that houses can be
rented very cheaply. And if others
prefer furnished rooms and board,
either in clubs or private families.
we know that this can be had at very
reasonable rates.
It is a popular theory at Lincoln
that residents ot Missouri river
towns live principally by catching
clriit-woou and seiningcatnsn. ine
following from the Lincoln Journal
therefore explains itself:
Lieutenam-Oovernor Majors is
out half a dollar on an April fool.
The following telegram was handed
to him yesterday with charges col
lect, which the urbane president of
the senate very obligingly put up:
"Peru. Nebraska. April 1. 1891.
Hon. T. J. Majors, Lieutenant-Governor
The Missouri river is on a
high with drift-wood flowing rapid
ly. Howe has his torces organized,
consequently you will have to get
home d quick or you will get
very little bark. WlLS."
Died.
Last evening at 8 o'clock, Mrs.
Emma L. Vass, wife of Robert Vass
of this city. The deceased was the
daughter of Mr. S. C. Smith, a prom
inent citizenjjof Hutchison, Kan.,
and was scarce 23 years of age in
the prime of life when heart trou
ble, superinduced by an attack of
grippe, caused her demise.
She was taken only a week ago
and Wa9 not known to have been
dangerously ill until last evening.
Deceased leaves no children to
mourn her departure, but a loving
husband to whom she was married
In August, 1888, ia left to realize the
loss of a kind and devoted wife.
The remains will be taken to
Hutchison to-morrow morning,
where the funeral will occur.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Parmele hand
somely entertained quite a large
party of friends last eveningat their
cosy home on Gospel Hill. After
playing a dozen animated games of
high five a bounteous luncheon was
served. Then followed an interest
ing game between the contestants
for the ring prizes which resulted in
Mr. and Mrs. Clel Morgan carrying
off the honors, a dainty basket of
sweets for the lady and a watch cape
for the gentleman. Miss Fulmer
and Mrs. Frank Morgan were
awarded the booby prizes each a
minature pack of cards. The affair
was a very pleasant event coming
after the quiet Lenten season and
proved Mr. and Mrs. Parmele charm
ing entertainers, and high five still
the all interesting game of all times
and seasons.

a spectacle ot lteu mat win re
dound to itH credit for ability and
independence. The fact that this
matter goes over for live weeks
more when it Hhould liave been
Hettled weeks ago, i.s one that
causes many unpl t-asa u t commciiUs
on the actions of the court which I
are not without merit. If the court i
i wollI(I unceremoniously fire the I
-1,1 j.dvisers" in attendance and :
decide the question upon the law
and the facts as presented with- J
I o.it jugglery the people could have
: 110 ground for criticism, let the de-
cision be what it miht. The fol- !
lo.ving from the Lincoln Journal of j
yesterday is a statement of the
matter as it pppeared at thecnpitol:
Visitors at the state house j-ester-d.iy
were somewhat more numerous
than upon any previous day for
some time past, and the one ques
tion uppermost in the minds of all
related to the probable action of
the supreme court in the guberna
torial case, for it appeared to be un
derstood l3" all that the court was
likely to render its decision at some
time (hiring the daj Kvery trip of
the clerk or bailitt into the consul
tation room was watched with the
utmost anxiel' throughout the day
and prying eyes were bent at all
times upon the doors of the room
wherein the court was quartered.
-o one seemed to doubt that the de
cision would be forthcoming, and
therelore when the announcement
was made that the court had ad
journed until Nay 5 without having
reached an opinion, it spread
through the capitol like wild fire
and created a great deal of surprise.
In fact, it was the one great first of
April surprise for all present. Nine
oat of ten to whom the fact was
told promptly expressed their di
belief of the statement.
Lven General Thayer, who was
silting in the Mate library in consul
tation with a friend, when told of
the court's action, remarked that
that could not be true. He evidently
thought that his informant was
springing and early April joke upon
him. tor he appeared surprised and
a shade annoyed by the announce
ment.
V hen the news was carried to
Governor Hovd he was in his pri
vate office. He did not appear
much put out bv the information.
although it was evidently a surprise
to him.
tiundreus or conjectures were
promptly set niloat as to the reason
tor the failure 10 reach a decision.
One conjecture was that no two
members of the court could agree
upon a decision, which it will lie
seen, could readily be the case were
one to hold Isoyd to be a citizen, an
other that IJoyd is not a citizen and
should be succeeded by Lieutenant-
Governor Majors, while the third
should hold IJoyd not a citizen and
Thayer entitled to the seat. This
theory would readily account for
the failure to reach a decision, but
should such be the situation it is
difficult to see what might be gain
ed by postponing action.
Opposed to tins theory is the
somewhat authentic rumor prevail
ing that the opinion is already
written and that it is a voluminous
document; tnat me liocly 01 it was
written by Judge Maxwell; that the
other two judges have each written
portions of the opinion and that it
is an agreed opinion. It is claimed
that the court deemed it advisable
to lender 110 opinion until after the
adjournment of the legislature. It
is well known that ludge Norval
has been so unwell for several days
as to render him unfitted for the ar
duous duties involved in the com
pilation of the opinion and that
Chief Justice Cobb is in very poor
health.
The delay is generally looked up
on as a favorable indication for
Governor Boyd by such as have
been heard expressing an opinion,
including some of General Thayer's
partisans, but no one appeared to
be fortified with any substantial
foundation for the inference.
There are 68 school districts, 106
school houses and 7,937 children of
school age in Cass count3r.
Miss Florence Richardson is at
home for a few days' vacation from
the state normal school but will re
sume her studies again next week
at that institution.
C. L. Hall was yesterday appoint
ed as the third judge of the Lancas
ter county district court by Govern
or Boyd. Mr. Hall was the attorney
of Lieutenant Governor Majors, and
nis appointment oy the govornor
will occasion some surprise to out
siders.
Mr. Killen, principle of the Louis
ville schools, accompanied by the
assistant teachers there, passed
through the city this morning on
their way to Peru, where they will
attend the meeting of the South
eastern Nebraska Teachers' Asso
ciation.
A. Good Law.
S. F. No. 174. a bill to amend
sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 21, 22, 23, 24,
20, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38, 39, 40, 41
42 and 61 in article 77 of chapter 1 of
the compiled statutes of the State of
Nebraska, entitled revenue, and to
repeal such sections, was read the
third time and passed with the
emergency clause.
The bill provides for the assess
ment of property subject to taxa
tion, at its actual cash value, and
specifies the classes of property
that shall be exempt from taxation.
This measure will have to receive
the governor's signature without
delay or much of the assessors'
work will have to be done over
again.

THE SENATE SUSTAINS THE VETO-
The House Immediately Refused to
Concur to James E. Boyds
Veto by a Decisive
Vote.
From Fridays Daily.
Lincoln, Neb., April 3, 3.30 p. m.
(Special to Tjiii Hi-;kali.J-Gov
IJoyd returned the maximum rat
out to me house this morning with
a veto message. He assigned as his
principal objection the fact that
the law was based on the Iowa rati
and was, owing to different condi
tions in Nebraska, a dangerous
measure, endangering the welfare
and prosperity of the state. The
governor also claimed that the bill
was unconstitutional, and gave his
reasons therefor at some length.
On receipt of the veto message in
the house, the independents grew
wrathy and several personal alter
cations took place; one member re
ceived a black eye. Action on the
bill was immediately taken, and by
a vote of 75 to 15 it was passed over
the governor's veto.
It was then sent to the senate, and
at this writing, 3.30 p. m., the senate
is having a call of the house for ab
sent members. The chances are
that the senate by a close vote will
sustain the governor's action.
Later, 4 p. m. The senate has
sustained Boyd's veto. The law re
quires 20 votes in the affirmative to
pass the bill over the veto, and
only received IS, thereby killing the
maximum rate bill.

Miss Anna Hubbard went through
the painful operation last week of
having the bone removed from the
first finger of her right hand. There
has been a sore on the finger for
nearly a year, and the doctors only
expected to 6crape the bone, but
they found it so diseased that it
was necessary to remove it between
the palm of the hand and the sec
ond joint Miss Anna was gritty,
going through it without the use
of chloroform. She is doing nicely.
Drs. Hall and Hungate performed
the operation. Weeping Water Republican.
