Prof. Drummond was in Lincoln
yesterday.
A superintendent of schools not a
thousand miles away from Plattsniouth
was reported as being in Lincoln yester
day working against submission.
When the vote on submission was
taken yesterday, it was noticed that
Senator Polk was surrounded by his
supporters, Prof. Drummond, Harry
Ritchie and Win. Weber.
Thos. Daily was arraigned before
Judge Clifford this morning on a charge
of vagrancy. lie was fined$3 and costs,
but being unable to pay the fine was
sent to jail.
Died: John C. Rakes, a well known
farmer, aged 82 years, living about 13
milca south of Plattsniouth, died last
night at 9 o'clock. The death was un
expected and the cause unknown.
A boy and girl, children of Mr.
Ridall, died this week of memberneous
croup. The girl died on Thursday
night, and the boy succumbed last night.
The funeral of the two children will
occur tomorrow at two o clock.
A "White Cap Order' for Platts
niouth would probably fill the bill at
present, as the law has failed to take the
desired effect in many instances. Tramps
of all colors, sizes, shapes and characters,
who liaye been imposing upon this com
munity, are still among us. and there is
no doubt but what they will remain here
as long as they are harbored. Any hole
or corner serving the purpose of a shelter,
is a very desirable quarter for most of
them, but the jail is a palace for them
and that is where they are provided with
lodgings almost daily. They would be
be insulted if asked to work unless there
was a drink in view. Their garments
are hanging to them in many pieces, and
the wind whistles through until they are
obliged to seek shelter, and it seem9, from
their couduct during the last few days,
that they consider the man who can com
mit an act which will open a way for
him to the jail, that he is the luckiest and
best man of the party. Yesterday morn- No. !." was recommitted to the committee

QUR LINCOLN LETTER
Notes From the Capital as Seen By Our
Special Correspondent.
SUBMISSION IN THE SENATE
Thu Submission Bill Passes the
Sonato by the Requisite
Two-Thirds Vote.
The Corridors Crowded.
Lincoln, Jan.-21, lHi'J,
Kimtok Mkkm.d: Today lias been a
roil letter luy for the submissiouists.
When Lindsay s lull was made a special
order for tijsoussion n the committee of
the whole at 2:550 today, every one looked
for an exciting debute. Every one was
disappointed, and none more so on the
final outcome than the "antis." The
morning session had been spent princi
pally on Keckley's anti-trust bill, and
contrary to their wont the senators did
not adjourn until after 12 o'clock. After
adjournment they accepted the offer to
dine at the Home for the Friendless.
Shortly after 12 o'clock the corridors
of the capitol leading to the senate cham
ber were crowded with people and before
that body was called to order eyery
available seat in the gallery, a? well as
the vacant sofas, chairs, and even stand
ing room in the lobby and on the floor of
the senate was occupied. First came
ttavmond's much debated bill concerning
the state board of transportation, which
was finally committed to the committee
of the whole. After this was disposed
of the senate went into a committee of
the whole, Taggart, of Adams, in the
chair' to consider senate file No. 31. An
amendment was offered by Paulson to
J
might become damaged, destroyed or
made worthless by the workings of such
law, sould be recompensed by the state
of Nebraska, and such owners might
recover such damages in any court of
competent jurisdiction in the state in
action against the state of Nebraska: this
Inotion Was lost. Paulson then read
from notcs sayin-' the enforcement of
gu0, a jaw aa contemplated would render
worthless hundreds of tbousmd of dol-
lars worth of property in the state, the
accumulation of many years' bard work.
Nesbitt then launched forth and in sten
torian tones demonstrated from his own
observation the wisdom of the Slocum
law and its effects where enforced in
controlling the liquor traffic, citing his
own town of North Platte, and also
O-jallala. lie said that when the Blocum
taw took effect in 1831. North Platte,
with a much smaller population than
now, had many more saloons, that since
that time the number had decreased,
while much better order was preserved.
Ogallala received much the same tribute
from the senator from Lincoln; then he
pase.-d to Sidney, and gave testimony in
the same line concerning the Slocum law.
Further, Nesbitt said he had no noubt
but that if this prohibitory amendment
should be voted to the constitution, there
would be a retrograde movement in this
state and much property rendered valu
less, but in view of the fact that a num
ber of his constituents had at different
times held conventions, and at such times
had voted for submission; he would cast
his vote in favor of the bill. Following
him, Paulson read in an indistinct
voicj from a manuscrict his views on the
subject, re-asserting his statements of
yesterday that his county did not wish
prohibition in any form; that it was a
county containing more wealth than any
county besides on either Iowa or Nebras
ka: that it would throw out of employ
ment thousands of men, and ruin a
market for ten million bushels of barley
used annually in manufacturing beer;
that it would deplete their school treas
ury two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars a year. He also said he wished to
say a word in favor of a much abused
cla-vs of men, the saloon keepers of the
state, men who, generally, obeyed the
law, and made an honest living for their
families. Vote was th?n taken in com
mittee of the whole that the bill be re
ported back favorably, carried. After a
short recess of five minutes, senate file
pensate property owners, whose property j
woul(i i.e virtually confiscated should ;

haye voted for submission if it had been
necessary. Those who have watched the
corners can see the fine Italian hand of
Howe through the past few days, al
though another acted as his mouth-piece.
There was a tacit understanding on both
aides that no debate should be indulged
in while the committee of the whole were
passing on the bill; and when the com
mittee of enrolled and engrossed bills
pulled the bill on the senate several days
before it was anticipated all the "antis"
seemed paralyzed. There will not be as
smooth sailing in the other house as the
"antis" have the better brains, and we
think there will be one or two yotes short
of the necessary three-fifths, when the
final vote is taken.'

POLK WAS ABSENT.
On of the "Noble Six Hundred."
Cannons to the right of him, cannons
to the left of him, cannons in front of
him and cannons behind him; but he
stood his ground and would not vote.
''Polk was absent."
For some unknown reason the mas
querade ball given at Fitzgerald's hall
last night by Prof. Gaynore, of Omaha,
who has been giving dancing instructions
here to a large class, was not so well
attended as many expected to .see. The
number of maskers was very small, there
only being enough to make up a set. A
good many spectators wlu expected to
be well entertained by a large number of
masked dancers, gathered early and
waited patiently but in vain for a crowd.
When it was discovered that to attempt
to make any kind of a masquerade, ws
a failure, the spectators were all invited
which invitation a good number accepted,
and during the balance of the evening a
very pleasant time was spent in the merry
dance.
"Polk was absent.
An article which the finder was un
able to describe as it was the first thing
of the kind he had ever seen, was picked
up from the floor of the Liederkranz hall
last Thursday night while the dancing
was going on. The strange looking
thing was only shown to the men, and
some very strange questions arase as to
what use it had been applied. It would
doubtless have made quite a '-bustle"
among the ladies had they discovered the
strange looking contrivance. It is said
that if the owner will call on the presi
dent of the Liederkranz society and per
fectly describe the article that it will be
rciuruei, gratis, by him.
There will be no service at .the 51. E.
