Without regard to politics, mem bers of the thirty-second legislatuie are fielir.g pretty well satislled with lesults up to date. It is conceded by all that the session Just coining to a close will stand the scrutiny of the most captious critics. The first veto message of the ses sion was the Nature of the past week In the hou.se. Governor Aldrlch re fused to sign what is known as the Tayior-Dolezal stock yards bill, and gave reasons for his veto in positive terms, l'.riefly, the governor contend ed that the Tayior-Dolezal bill, house oil 82, sought to give the state rail way commission power to regulate it, and thin escaped any such restriction because the bill declared It a public: market. The governor said the con stitution gave the railway commission no power to regulate public markets. Right on the heels of this veto, which the house sustained, came the Ollis bill, senate file 115, as a natural sequence, and the house passed It with a whoop. Of course this means tho Ollis bill will be written in the statutes and It will be the first regu latory measure passed by the state with regard to the stock yards, not withstanding the attempts to do so for the last sixteen years. Incidental ly, it means that the stock yards will be out of politics, in all probability, at future sessions for some time to tome. When shall we adjourn? That is the question which no one can answer Just now. The senate has set April 4, and a report of the Joint com inlttee on adjournment, setting that date, was promptly tabled by the house. Of course this means that there are many sensible members in the house who realize it would be a physical Impossibility to dean up the grist In any decent manner by that date. The indications are that the house will not adjourn Bine die until at least Friday, April 7. Most of the members in both branches seem to understand the Importance of giving this their attention. too rapidly. The Jolly guests had brought the necessary fixings for a delectable lunchton, which was prepared during the; evening and to which all did ample justice. It was a late hour when the gees' s departed for their homes, having had a most enjoyable time and wishing Miss Mourey many more happy birthdays.

WILL THE COMBINATION - NOW "FESS OP" THE TBI) III It is a very easy matter for a man when he has no other defense to put up to say that the other fellow 'lied," as the combination paper did in their issue last evening in regard to the Insulting manner in which one of their solicitors talked to one of Plattsmouth's most highly respected ladies. They are aware of the truth of the matter now, as they have been apprised of the lady's name, also the name of the witness who heard the remarks, by the gentleman of the house. Now see If the combination paper will, in tonight's issue, state who has been the falsifier. We are so well ac quainted with the lady and gentle man that we know neither of them would state the case to us wrongly, and we stated the facts Just as they were given to us. Will the circulator of the Omaha News see that the fel low Is removed? For the past three months It has been the custom of the combination paper to endeavor to make the people believe that they are In the right In every Instance by put ting up a defense that the Journal falsified. They know now that we told the truth. See If they will "fess up" and we may give them a few more chances to "get In right." A Question in the Matter of Frank Neuman, Candidate for Mayor "By Petition" It seems to be a question as to whether the name of Frank Neuman, who is a candidate for mayor by peti tion, (an be placed upon the official ballot legally. The law states that such petition shall, besides contain ing the names, shall also bear the place of residence, address and place of business. Consequently, the city clerk deferred placing the name of Mr. Neuman on the printed ballot un til he could hear from the city at torney regarding the matter. Mr. Wurl simply wants to be right in the matter, and so addressed a letter to City Attorney B. S. Ramsey for his opinion. The city clerk has evident ly pursued the proper course, and by being cautious in the matter may save considerable trouble In the future, as to the legality of the en tire election Married by Judge ISeeson. From Wednesday's Pally. A wedding party arrived from Louisville on No. 4 this morning aud fo'jnd their way to the county judge tt office very shortly. The party was composed of Joel Johnson and Mis Anna Benson, the groom and bride, and .Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Benson, parents of the bride, and Albert John son and Miss Johnson, brother and sister of the groom. The affidavit and license were soon made out and Judge Peeson requested to proceed with the ceremony. The happy couple are popular Louisville youii people and will begin housekeeping there. They departed for their hom at 3:20 this afternoon. NO LONGER AS A For a great many years past the land lying just east of the B. & M. depot has been used more or less by the people of the city as a dumping ground for all cast-off rubbish.

The Indications are that the thirty-second session wlll be accused of having squandered unnecessarily the people's money In the way of ap propriations. Henry Gerdes, the ma jority leader, and Speaker John Kuhl have both strongly opposed at every turn what they considered unneces sary appropriations. Members of the democratic ma jority are feeling pretty well satisfied so far as party pledges are concerned. Most of them have been kept to the letter, and all have promise of going through. Of eourse the first of these Is the Initiative and referendum bill, and then there Is the agricultural school for southwest Nebraska, the apportionment bills, etc. . AND MRS.
