In the Senate The free high school bill, senate flit 41. by C'uri'le of Custer, the measure which is considered the connecting link between the common sohools and the state university , was passed yes terdav by the senate without a aingl vote in opposition, A similar bill wsi passed two years ago, but was found to be defective and the supreme court declarep It invalid. Two bills failed to pass. One was a bill extending tin mechanics, lien law to windmills and wells. The other was simply a cura tive bill, but when it came up for pass age the senate concluded that the old law was bad, and instead of doctoring it, wiped it from the statutes. It was a law authorizing road overseers to plow along the side of roads for the purpose of preventing the spread of prairie fires. A bill declaring bicycles to be bag- gage ana requiring railroads to carry them as such whs indefinitely post poned on recommendation of the rail road committee.

The senate is tired of waiting on the contracting printer. It is claimed that some bills are held ten days, whereas the statutes permit them to be held by the printer only three days. A reso lution was passed yesterday morning for the purpose of holding the contrac tor liable for the penalty of $26 tor each failure to return a bill within the limit ' ..r- ----- w- - friti., rttirurr i o. Something out of the ordinary run was presented yesterday in the senate , by ITarrell of Merrick, I iislonist, in the ' form of a plan to hold an election to decide the senatorial contest. lie wanted the governor authorized to eall a special election sometime be tween March 1 and March 1ft.

THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. In the House The house put in the time on educa tional matters. In the morning near ly the whole time was consumed in listening to reports of standing com mittees. A great number were placed on general file. A resolution commend ing the two Nebraska senators for their efforts on the peace treaty and also mentioning Colonel Hryan as com ing in for a share of the praise for his support of the administration on this, measure was tabled. Thompson of Clay secured the passage of a resolu. tlon memorializing congress to see that pay was given to the volunteer soldiers who were dlseharired and reaulred the services of physicians after their dls-' charge because of diseases contracted in the army. The afternoon was spent in commit tee of the whole. Another heated de bate occurred on "curative" measures which ended with no more definite un derstanding than prevailed at the commencement. Two library bills were recommended for pussage. One pro vides that school districts when the electors of the dist ricts desire, may es tablish libraries and make a levy for the same. The other bill provides that the state shall make an appropriation of 13,000 ror the estabiialiracnt of a circulating library, lioth measures brought forth long discussions. Friday, February 1 0.

The house responded with a resolution showing complete willingness to far nlsh the money, An important measure considered In committee of the whole and agreed upon was a bill by Olmsted of Douglas county, modeled after the law iaefxeoe in Ohio, to prevent corrupt practices' at elections. The measure was amend ed to prevent candidates tinder penal ty from distributing cigars or drinks or from expending money in several otbee ways to further elections. It prescribes the amount of money which may be spent for a given number of electors. At the close of each cam paign tho candidate is to file a sworn statement of the expenses and state la this for what purposes the funds were used. The measure elicited consider able opposition at first but the mem bers who had had varied experiences in campaigning believed there should be some protection from leg pullers and demanders of hush money and for that reason the law was agreed to. The house passed three bills also yes terday. One was to lower the tax on dogs In cities of tho second class. An other was to eliminate from the sec tion of the statutes that portion which permits the Investment of the perma nent school fund in general f nnd war rants. It is not understood that this roessure prevents investment of state school money in state securities, how cvsr. A third bill passed legalizes ac knowledgements and oaths taken and administered by commissioners' of dseds.

After the joint convention the honse adjourned immediately till Monday at U o'clock, Taasday, February 14, Dr. Fletcher Wharton pronounced the invocation in the house yesterday morning. , A petition was read favoring the passage of the joint resolution relat ing to the submission of the woman's suffrage amendment by congress, Petitions from the western part of the state were read favoring the ap portionment of money for payment of bounty on wolves, coyotes and wild cats. House roll No 70, Evans' banking bill, was recommended by the stand ing committee to be postponed. Prince of Hall stated the objections to the bill. It would tie up 6 per cent of the deposit, which was too large an amount of funds. The sinking fund deposited with the state would place the unstable institution on the same level with those which have been con ducted on thorough business princi ples. From the standpoint of the de positor, Mr. Prince thought tho bill would carry down all the banks with the others. The bill draws on solvent banks to keep insolvent institutions la a crisis which, it was thought, was a vital objection. At I o clock the house went into committee of the whole to dlscnss Pol lard's revenue bill The bill wse amended, making the time for assess ment from April 1 to June 1.
