Party Managers.
Re
in the HonseWdnesday.
Io the afternoon session yesterday S.
F. 173, a substitute for a bill taxing
state banks on deposits to create a fund
for security of depositors, was placed on
the general file.
8. F. 14, Ransom's bill to reduce the
number of commiaioners in Douglas coun
ty from H?e to three and to reduce the
salaries from f t.800 to l,500, was re
committed for amendment.
The Ransom resolution to direct Sen
ator Thurston to work for bimetallism
was the subject of a protracted and ear
nest debate during the latter part of the
afternoon. Murphy of Uage led the op
position to it. He said its purpose was
to humiliate the greatest man erer
elected to the United States senate.
It was an insult and an indignity. It
was not offered with any serious, honest
purpose, was full of dissimulation and
false premises and conclusions. It sought
to direct the vote of a United States sen
ator on the money question, and that,
too, after the people of the country had
by nearly a million majority, rendered a
verdict against the pernicious financial
doctrine which the resolution seeks to
defeud. He denied that Senator Thurs
ton had ever favored the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver at 18 to 1. The
resolution was unfair, ingenious and a
disreputable way of instructing a
senator.
Caldwell wanted it amended to include
reciprocity and took occasion to criticise
Senator Allen for having supported the
Wilson bill.
Ransom spoke for the resolutions, re
citing against Senator Thurston many
utterances and writings in favor of bi
metallism. Talbot and Conaway spoke against
the resolutions and denounced Ransom
for having left the republican party.
At the close of the debate the resolu
tion was adopted by a strict party vote.
In the House Thursday.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, Pollard of Cass offered a reso
lution directing the appointment of a
committee of three to draft a bill to en
courage the establishment of new beet
sngar factories in Nebraska.
Soderman moved to lay the resolution
on the table. The ayes and nays were
demanded, and the motion to table was
carried by a vote of 54 to 42.
When the secretary of the senate ap-
neared and announced that the senate
had passed the resolution directing Sen
ator Thurston to work for the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver, the
announcement was greeted with a round
of applause.
A memorial was read from the citizens
of Omaha asking that no legislation be
enacted effecting any radical changes in
. the fire and police commission law of
Omaha. It was referred to the whole
house, as each member had received
conv thereof.
The committee on engrossed bills re
ported back H. K. 5 as having been prop-
erlv enirrotwed.
Roddy of Otoe took occasion to in
veigh loudly against the method of
holding up a bill in the rooms oi the en-
grousing committee.

ments reported for passage H. R. 164,
for drainage of swamp lauds, and the
report was adopted.

12 of the law relating to county agricul
tural societies, was reported for indefi
nite postponement, but the author had
it recommitted.

indefinite postponement II. K. 40, by
Snvder of Nemaha, to prevent railroad
companies from giving parses.
Snyder at once movea non-concur
rence and that the bill be passed to the
ireneral tile. This led to considerable
discussion and Zimmerman of the com
mittee said that other better biiis on the
- subject were coming forward.
Dm vem tnd navs were railed on Sny
der's amendment to place the bill on
general file. It was defeated by a vote
of 79 to 15. Those voting for the mo

der of Nemaha, Morrison, Wooster.

der of Sherman, Soderman, Welch, Win-
slow, Cronk and Hamilton.
The report of the committee was

cials by the railroads. The report was
adopted.
The same committee reported for in
definite postponement H. R. 46, to re
duce the salaries of secretaries of the
state board of transportation to $1,500
each.
Shull moved that the report be non
concurred in. The ensuing discussion
brought out the fact that a sub commit
tee had been appointed to ascertain
whether it would be best to abolish the
stnte board or give it more power. At
the close of the discussion the bill was
ordered to the general file by a vote of
45 to 35.

ported for passage H. R. 27, to prohibit

culture; by Ransom, to encourage immi
gration; by Canaday, to require rail
roads to maintain union depots in cities

The chair ruled that a bill may be in
definitely postponed upon first reading.
This was a disputed point Involved in
disposing of one of Spencer's concurrent
resolutions the previous day, upon
which the chair withheld his ruling pend
ing investigation.
Ransom at once moved to indefinitely
postpone Spencer's resolution commend
ing Senator Allen for bis defense oi tne
credit of Nebraska, and demanding that
the state fulfill its beet sugar bounty
obligation.
Talbot s motion to make tne lesoiu-
tion a special order for 2 p. m. tomor
row was defeated on roll call by a vote
of 14 to 17.
Talbot then spoke in favor of the res
olution and against the senate placing
itself on record as in favor of repudia
tion of contracts of the state and a re
fusal to pay the state's honest debts.
He read the statement of senator Alien
in the United States senate, wherein he
said that aid would not be withheld
where necessary to encourage the devel
opment of thesugar industry of Nebras
ka.

tor Ransom's closing argument against

In the Senate Thursday.
In the senate Sykes presented a peti
tion from Adams county for the payment

pages printed as possible. On objection
by Ransom it went over under the rule.
On motion of Sykes the committee on
soldiers home was excused Friday and
Saturday to permit them to visit the
insitutions.
The object of the republicans was to
hold the house to the regular order.
Under the regular order the house must
soon reach the order of third reading of
bills. The first bill on the general file,
which must then be necessarily taken up,
was house roll 5, which provides for a
recanvass of the vote tor the amendment
to increase the number of supreme jus
tices. The majority, owing to the ab
sence of two of its members, whose votes
are necessary to the passage of the bill,
were not ready to act on this measure,
and therefore proposed to go into com
mittee ot tne wnoie to worn on otner
measures. This the minority did not
want them to do. Hence the objection
of Paul Clark that to go into co.nmittee
of the whole would be a suspension of the
regular order and would require a two
thirds vote.
Of course Speaker Gaffin overruled the
point, and the house went into commit
tee of the whole with Gerdes in the chair.
H. R. 29, by Phelps, to repeal the
Russian thistle law, was reported back

to the committees:
H. R. 46, to reduce salaries ot the sec
retaries of the state board of transpor
tation. II. R. 27, for the protection of game
for five years.
When the committee arose and re
ported back its report was adopted and
the house adjourned.
' ' In the House Friday.
In the absence of Chaplain Mailley,
who had been called home to David City

Shull said that he had heard it stated
that the republican party in the south
since the war had stolen 1,500,000,000
chickens. He was not iu favor of the
bill, as the penalty is too severe.
After discussion Phelps withdrew the
part of his amendment relating to the
penalty.
Clark of Kichardson moved to insert
the word watermelon. It was declared
out of order.
The amendment including turkeys,
ducks and geese wan adopted, and on
motion of Paul Clark the bill was re
ported back for passage.
n. K. 26 by Kich.to authorize publica
tion of notices of application for liquor
licenses of any paper of general circula
tion, the old war between the World-
Herald and the Bee was taken up. It
also authorizes the same power that
grants a license to authorize a transfer
of the same to another place or person.
Clark of Lancaster opposed this, and
pending the controversy the committee
arose and the house took a recess until
senator Hansom resumed his remarks
on Senator Spencer's resolutions favor
ing the payment of the sugar bounty in
the senate this morniug. W bile he was
still willing to endorse Senator Allen, be
was not ready to extend Ins endorse
ment to include the sugar bounty. He
declared that the minority was not hon
est in the matter and had no sincere
e m-
tention of endorsing Senator
Allen ex-
cept for the purpose of countenancing
and endorsing the sugar bounty.
At the close of the debate the resolu
tion was indefinitely postponed by a
vote of 24 to 8.
Those voting in the affirmative were
Beal, Canaday. Dearing, Dundas, Farrel,
Feltz, Fritz, Gondring, Graham, Groth
an, Heafy, Howell, Johnson and Lee,
Miller, Muffly, Mutz, Osborn, Ransom,
Ritchie, Scbaal, Syxes. Watson, Weller
24.
Those voting nay were Caldwell, Con
away, Evans, Haller, Murphy, Spencer,
Steele and Talbot 8. '
Absent McGann.
Several senators explained their rotes.
In explaining his, Spencer set up an ex
planation saying that he had no aim or
desire by the resolution to commit the
senate to any future policy or bias it on
any propose measure. There is no hid
den sting or concealed venom in its con
struction. Its adoption simply means
that it is the sense of a majority of the
senate that Senator Allen is' a broad-
minded, level-headed, public-spirited Ne
braskan, who is willing to throw aside
petty party prejudices for the good of
the commonwealth he . represents.
Spencer said he saw no reason why any
democrat or populist should oppose the
resolution, although there was a reason
why Ransom should not, as he was
neither democrat, republican or populist.
He is a political what-itvit.
r Senator Howell objected, saying that
Spencer'tt explanation was lacking in
due courtesy to Ransom, and asked
that it be expunged.
After an exchange of left-handed cour
tesies between Ransom and Spencer the
explanation was withdrawn.
S. F. 25, relating to revenues, and S.
F. 64, to cut down the salaries of sec
retaries of the board of transportation
were indefinitely postponed on reports
of committees.
In the house Frierday afternoon the
bill by Clark of Lancaster to make
chicken stealing a penal offense was
indefinitely postponed.
II. It. 5, for recounting the vote on
the amendment was on motion of Hull
of Harlan recommitted for the correc
tion of an error in its engrossment,
against strong republican protests, by
a vote ot oi to a.
Jenkins' motion to go at once into
committee of the whole to correct the
bill was lost by a vote of C2 to 32.
The effort of the republicans to get this
bill disposed of before the republican
contestees from Douglas county could be
unseated had failed, and the committee
on elections at once submitted majority
reports on the contest.
The majority report set out the evi
dence at length and the findings of the
signers to the effect that the naturaliza
tion of voters as done in Douglas coun
ty in the late campaign was bribery,
and that when all votes of voters thus
bribed were thrown out on both sides,
the contestants had received the largest
number of legal votes and were there
fore elected.
The minority report, signed by Shel
don and Eager, populists, and Rouse
and Byram, republicans, held that it
was admitted that a $30,000 corruption
fund had been spent by the republican
managers, a large portion of which re
mains unaccounted for, and that the
man charged with the management of
the republican campaign, notably the
chairman of the county committee, when
on the witness stand, had com
mitted downright perjury, as shown by
their own evidence and the evidence
of their associates, in trying to keep
tne actual conduct irom the light of
public scrutiny. This report denounced

methods in Omaha, but concluded that
the evidence did not positively show
that the contestees had profited by it,
nnd was not snfhcient to justify un
seating them. This report was written
by Sheldon.
Consideration ci the report was made
a special order for 10:30 a. m. today.
In the House Saturday.
In the bouse this morning a number
of new bills were introduced and read
prior to the arrival of the hour when
the Douglas county contest was scheduled
to come up as a special order.
Hull of Harlan moved the adoption of
the majority report on theconteet roses,
and Felker moved as a substitute that
the minority report be adopted.
The aye aud nay vote showed 41 vot
ing for the measure and 56 against it.
Those voting aye were Alderman Ber

Snyder of Sherman moved that the
votes of the contested members be not
counted, but the motion was not enter
tained.
Immediately Clark of Lancaster asked
that his vote be changed from aye to no.
The other members from Lancaster did
likewise. The reason for this move was
because the minority did not wish to
remain on record as having voted for a
report that showed republican corrup
tion unless their was something to gain
by it.
When the changes were all announced
there were 11 ayes and 87 nays.
Jenkins at once moved that the ma
jority report be indefinitely postponed,
ancLspoketo the motion some fifteen
minutes, denouncing the proposition to
unseat the republicans as part of a par
tisan scheme to pass H. R. 5 to seat con
tingent supreme justices elect.
Loomis responded for the majority of
the committee briefly and Clark of Lan
caster followed him. He also denounced
the movement as a partisan measure
designed to enable the majority to carry

DREADFUL DREAMS DRIVE SLEEP
AWAY.
For Eight Tears a Lady of Emporia, Kan
sas, Suffers Unspeakable Agony
She Relates Her Ex
perience. From the Republican. Emporia, Kansas,
Mrs. Jennie Carlow resides at 713
Merchant street, Emporia, Kansas, and
is the wife of W. R. Carlow, proprietor of
the Carlow Wagon and Blacksmith
Works, who is so well known as the
"Past Grand" and as one of the . most
active members in Lodge 1 5, 1. 0. O. F.,
of Emporia.
The distress of a condition of chronic
sleeplessness is so terrible. Mrs. Car
Idw's sufferings from it so well known,
our readers, we feel sure, will welcome
the good uews that she is now well, and
will be glad to know how the cure was
accomplished.
Mrs. Carlow's statement is hereto ap
pended in narrative form:
"For many years I was a confirmed
invalid, sufferingconstant pams through
my breastand back, of the - most excru
ciating type, rendering me absolutely
helpless. I was unable to rise up or lie
down without assistance, and was sub
ject on the least exertion to flntterings
of the heart and such shortness of breath,
or dyspepsia, that I often thought 1 was
dying.
"Peaceful slumber was unknown to me.
I would fall into a doze only to be awak
ened by the most horrible dreams, of too
frightful a character to describe, and in
the morning instead of being refreshed
and rested, I would be utterly exhausted.
"I was attended at various times by
every physician in the city, but none of
them could do me any good, though I
spent hundreds of dollars in my quest of
health. About three months ago
Mrs. Elizabeth Drake, whom you
perhaps know, spoke to my hus
band advising atrial of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, stating that
they had permanently cured her after
years of suffering from milk leg, and he
at once procured a supply for me.
"By the time 1 had taken two boxes
according to directions, for the first
time in two years, I was able to enjoy
peaceful and restful sleep, and as I con
tinued to take them my health improved,
so that now while using the fifth box, I
feel quite recovered and my health is en
tiroly restored. 1 still take two pills
every night just beiore retiring, and
wake up every morning perfectly happy.
"I advise every one whom I hear com
plaining to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
for although I recoguize the fact that
medicine that will cure one, will not an
other, still as most disease are due to a
bad condition of the blood, Pink Pills in
such cases will prove a certain cure. It
is but natural that! should have the
most unbounded faith in them. I am
only too glad to bear testimony through
your paper as to what they have done
for me."
The above is an exact report of Mrs.
Carlow s statement.
Charles Harrrw,
(Signed) Reporter, Emporia, Kan
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
pie are now given to the pnblio as an un
failing blood builder and nerve restorer,
curing all forms of weakness arising
from a watery condition of the blood or
shattered nerves. The pills are sold by
all dealers, or will be sent post paid on
receipt of price, 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in

house roll No. 5, and said that the evid
ence showed that the election in Douglas
county was simply a contest to see
which could buy the most votes.
Dobson of Fillmore declared the move
ment to be one in the interest of purity
of the ballot. His vehement and pointed
remarks brought repeated rounds of
cheers from the gallery and the lobby.
Burman of Douglas, one of the con
testants, charged that overtures had
been made to him that if he would vote
for the judicial amendment bill he would
not be unseated and charged that Clark
of Richardson had so informed him. He
also said that he had not sought the
office, that a friend had induced him to
run by bp offer to pay. his assessment
and that he had not spent any money to
secure bis election.
Clark of Richardson at once declared
that the overtures came from Burman.
The latter had stopped him at the door
of the house and inquired about the con
test. Clark bad replied that there was a
rumor that unless tbey would agree to
vote for H. R. No. 5 they would be un
seated. Burman bad expressed a will
ingness to vote for H. R. 5, end Clark
suggested that the rumor said he had
made a similar promise before aud failed
to keep it, and that he would probably
be unseated unless he was willing to
make a written promise. Later Burman
bad witten a note to him calling him
out oi a caucus, and had offered at that
time to vote himself for the measure,
and that Alderman would also do so.
Alderman was present at the time. Bur
man wanted Clark to work for the deal,
but the latter declined. Burman desired
to know if the speaker could effect such a
deal, and Clark referred him to Gaffin,
who was standing near. Clark called on
the speaker to make a statement.
Speaker Gaffin said the only proposi
tion be had heard of came from Bur
man, which was that he and another
man would vote for H. R. 5 if be was not
unseated.
Alderman said that the conversation
ho had heard between Clark and Burman
indicated that Clark had first proposed
the deal, and when summoned from the
caucus had said that it was too late for
him to deliver the goods.
Burkett spoke at considerable length.
He said that Clark of Richardson bad
for a long time labored earnestly to
keep the Douglas county republicans in
their seats, and his sudden change indi
cated that he had been subjected to the
party lash. He also said that Clark in
timated to him that if seven or
eight of the minority could be secured
for H. R. 5 the republicans would not
be unseated.
After a few remarks by Sheldon, who
characterized the majority report as a
measure of retaliation, the house took a
recess until 2 p. m.
In the Senate Saturday.
In the senate a petition from residents
of Dundy county asking assistance in
securing seed wheat was referred.
A petition from Brownville for an ap
propriation to make a state exhibit at
the trans-Mississippi exposition was also
referred. i
Bills were introduced by Dearing, to
provide for reorganization of the bank
ing department; by Howell, to amend
the law of attachment; by Conaway, to
cede to the government certain lots in
York.
Beal moved a reconsideration of S. F.
14. He had yesterday decided a tie
vote on this measure and desired to
change his vote.
Talbot wanted a call of the house and
said that this was a movement to cut
out an amendment of S. F. 14, which
permitted Lancaster county to elect
county commissioners at large as at
present. He moved to table the motion,
but the motion did not prevail, and the
motion to reconsider was agreed to.
Beal then moved to strike out the
amending clause, but this was with
drawn and the measure was made a
special order for 2 p. m. Monday,
After a brief session in committee of
the whole, the senate adjourned until
2 p. m. Monday.
