of any Hock yard to take, make or chance
any other or further charges or rates to the
owner or shipper of live stock than In this

then offered an amendment to the hill to the
effect that the provisions of the hill should
not apply to yards which for the twelve
months preceding do not have ati average

plained that the object of the amend
ment was to exempt the Nebraska t’lfy

Nebraskan* at the White House.
Washington special: Residents of
Nebraska and their friends sojourning
in Washington were given a chance to
meet President McKinley today through
the courtesy of Senator Thurston, who
conceived the idea that as many of the
sojourners here would he leaving for
their homes tomorrow, it would be a
gracious thing to introduce them to
the president. Accordingly u telegram
was sent to the white house asking if
the president would receive the Ne
braska delegation, und visiting friends
at an hour to be named by the execu
tive. At o'clock a number of Ne
braskans. including Church Howe,
Attorney Atkinson of Lincoln, I'. A.
Collins, Henry T. Oxnard. General C.
J. Hilis of I'alrbury, L. L. Lindsey of
Lincoln, and W. L. Peebles of Pender,'
with Senator Thurston as chief of the
delegation, called upon the president
and were presented to him in his pri
vate room. There was a cordial inter
change of courtesies and chat on cur
rent events. Senator Allen was in
vited to attend with the party, hut he
declined. Many of the Nebraskans
are already leaving for their homes
and by morning but few of the old
campaigners will be left.

down ten feet further that day and
the next morning there was about ten
feet of water in the hole, with over a
foot of oil floating on the snrfac. The
oil is as clear as refined oil, and a rag
saturated with it burns up as brill

grades shipped in. English was in
town yesterday and took out some ap
paratus for gathering a quantity of
the oil, which he will send to the state
university. With the apparatus at
hand here it is almost impossible to
measure tin-amount of oil floating on
the water in the well, hut some re

THE SCHOOL FUND.
Tenor of the Joint fti-Mil nt Ion rnMfil In
the Semite.
Joint resolution No. '.‘0 was relit) the
third time ami passed in the senate on
the 4th. it proposes an ummeiidment
relating to the investment of the per
inanent school fund. The amendment
proposed contains the following gen
eral provisions:
All funds belonging to the state for
•'durational purposes the interest and
income whereof only are to Is- used
shall lie deemed trust funds held by
the state and shall not lie invested or
loaned except on United States or state
securities or registered county or school
district. i>onds:pri>vidfd that, the hoard of
educational lands aud funds is empow
ered to sell from time to time any of the
securities lielonging to the permanent
school fund and invest the proceeds in
any of the securities enumerated
above hearing a higher rate of Interest
whenever an opportunity for better in
vestment is presented; providetl fur
ther, that when any w arrant upon the
state treasury regularly issued in pur
suance of an appropriation by the leg
islature ami secured by a levy of a tax
f< r its payment shall lie presented to
the state treasurer for payment and
there shall not be any money in the
proper fund to pay such warrant the
hoard of educational lands und funds
may direct the state treasurer to pay
the amount due on such warrant from
the moneys in his hands lielonging to
the permanent school fund, and lie
shall hold said warrant as an invest
ment of said permanent school fund,

The usmil spring demand for horses
says a South Omaha correspondent, lias
set in and it appears much larger than
for three years. The continued de
pression in business for several years
has caused people to economize by
using old. worn out stock while wult
ing for business to revive. Owing to
Hie low value of all horse stock pur
chasers ull want tin* best and
the present boom is only in ten
grades. The demand for cheaper
grades is good hut there is no advance
in values. Heavy horses of quulity,
vveigiiing 1.400 and upwards, have
made a substantial advance, which has
tiie appearance of being permanent.
Killing nf Attorney (ienernl.
Miss Viola Collin, secretary of the
Omaha civil service hoard, has received
a communication from the commis
sioners at Washington, enclosing an
opinion by the attorney general, te
eentiy made, in which he passes upon
the question whether the deputy S.
marshals are under the protection of
the civil service Jaw. According to
this decision, the office deputies and
members of tin clerical force are so
protected, hut the other deputies are
subject to removal at the whim of the
marshal.
Death by Suicide.
Louis Johnson, a Danish farmer liv
ing about five miles northwest of
Kennard. committed suicide by hang
ing himself in a grunary on his farm.
In the evening he left his home saying
he was going to see a near neighbor
and would return in a short time.
About midnight his wife, becoming
alarmed at his prolonged absence, in
stituted a search for him. and about 7
o’clock next morning found him bang
ing in a small back room in his gran
ary. _
Exposition Knock**! Oat.
The failure of President Cleveland,
says a Washington dispatch, to sign
the sundry civil bill knocks out the en
tire appropriation for the Trans-Missis
sippi exposition.
The failure of three general appro
priation hills settles beyond question
the immediate calling of a special ses
sion. The ground will have to Is* gone
over again, but the Nebraska senators
and house members are confident of
their ability to get the appropriation
for the exposition restored.
Editor (i I veil a *lol>.
Judge Munger has appointed T. J.
O’Keefe, editor of the Hetningford
Herald, as I’nited States court commis
sioner for Hiix 1’nttc county and the
adjacent territory. This makes a total
of sixty-two of these commissions in
Nebraska. Cinter a recent act of emi
gre" tin* terms of ull of these commis
sioners will expire June III) next, and
new appointments must lie made for a
term of four years, dating from July t

IOWA PA t ENT OFFICE REPORT.
Dks Moines, Feb. A. M. L., of
Bertrand, Nebraska, asks: "What is
meant by a limited degree of inven
tion'.”’ Answer:—This is a common
phrase in patent office parlance and
the question can lie best answered by
giving an example. After using bluut,
screws for centuries and gimlets to
bore holes for them in wood, a gimlet
pointed screw was invented and the
labor of making holes in wood for the
reception of screws was dispensed
with. After using gimlet pointed
screws for half a century and cutting
away wood with a reaming tool to
countersink the head of a screw, the
slot across the conical head was ex
tended down at the side to produce a
cutting edge so that the rotating screw
would cut away wood and the reaming
tool made unnecessary. Both these
examples show limited degrees of
invention, in view of the fact that s.,
little change was made in the art as
first represented by a screw having a
blunt end. Such sinipl i changes were
of limited degree in comparison with
the great Improvements made in steam
boats since one of the crude originals
was destroyed by a mob in HitlJ. But
notwithstanding the simplicity of the
improvements in screws and the lim
ited degree of invention illuatratcu
thereby, such improvements uro of
vast importance. A limited degree of
invention, when a new or improved re
sult is produced thereby, isa patentable
invention ami in many instances
