Corn »s. t'oal.
Washington Special: The present
abundance of corn and its low price
ha* occasioned inueli speculation ns to
It* full value. There is Midi a diver
sity of opinion as to the actual knowl
edge regarding the profitableness of
buying corn instead of coal that it
seemed desirable to conduct a compar
atlve test that would show the relative
heating power of the two materials.
Whether it would pay to raise corn for
fuel ia a question not contemplated in
this investigation, hut the interests of
the large number of people living in
the region of cheap corn call for the
determination of its most profitable
use after it U u|M>n the market, from
investigation it is stated that if a cer
tain quality of itial were selling at
lc«* than 80.00 and corn were bringing
13 cent*, it would not i>ay to burn corn,
while coal must sell as low us S.V41 per
ton to Is- as cheap fuel as corn at 10
cent* a bushel. A very complete and
thorough investigation of this subject
Is being conducted at the university.
It was thought desirable, however, to
publish Mie results already obtained,
itllhqng'll they were based upon the
performance of hut one quality of coal.
This Coni is well known and largely '
usevt in the state.

A Scrap In the Senate.
(luring discussion of the penitentiary
hill iu the senate the usual serenity of
that august body was disturls-d by u
fracas at the senate gate and u rush of
senators and employes to the scene of
action. It was observed tliut Senator
Farrell of Merrick county and C. J.
Ilowlby of the Crete Democrat were the
combatants. The belligerent* were
parted before serious damage was done
to either party. The difficulty grew
out of an objectionable article pub
lished iu Mr. Ilowlby s paper, of which
tiie following is an extract: “Why is
it that the state senate should lie
looked to for any dirty work needed
by the lobbyists? * * * This re
port was signed by Caldwell of
Nuckolls, republican, uud two pops,
Johnson of Clay and Farrell of Mer
rick. There is nothing strange about
tlui actions of republican members
of the committee, hut the two pops
who pretend to represent the men
who produce 10-ccnt corn and a ton
hay, to make such recommendation,
one can come to no other conclusion
* linn that they have been ‘seen’ by Dili
itixton and liabcock who are ever
present lobbying against a reduction
of the charges. Johnson of Clay is a
twin of Sum Elder of that county and
Farrell is a deformed ignoramus whose
'double' probably was never before
seen in the state senate. * * * Sen
ator Hearing of Cass and one or two
populists voted against the indefinite
postponement of tlie minority report
and thus helped the republicans to
give it consideration a lien the bill is

some queer acting senators in the legis

depended upon to fly the track when
they arc most needed to pass Mils

Some of Those Who ore Tem-iorsrlly In
WashlnRiOn.
From the Stale Journal's special ror- I
respondent: The Nebrn ka contin- |
gent who are willing to serve their
country are all here and strictly on
deck. They are r. little blue this e»,-n
ing over the announcement that ap
pointments may not lie made very
shortly, and that the tariff, rather than
patronage, is at present prominent in
the president’s mind. Every eve is
turned to Senator Thurston, who is
looked upon as the Moses to lead them
to the promised land.
The presence of Hon. Church Ilowe
in town for a week or so past has
caused the gossips to speculate upon
his chances for securing something
under this administration. Just what
he lias his eye upon is not certain, but
it is believed that he came to Wash
ington cocked and primed with an ap
plication for appointment os third
assistant postmaster genera!. Senator
Thurston, it is understood, has Mr. |
Howe's claims for recognition under
advisement.
Nominations for office have not yet
begun to come into the senate in force. ,
When they do several holdover post- I
offices in Nebraska are likely to lie
ill led bv nomination of Major McKln
ey. Mr. Cleveland made the nomina
tion of Charles A. Huck of North Bend,
Dodge county; T. W. Deeper, Oakland,
Burt county; John M. Smith. Cozad,
Dawson county; H. W. Ivellev, Beaver
City, Furnas county, anti Francis A.
Mimonds, Cetlar Bapids, Boone county.
All of these nominations lapsed by the
expiration of the Fifty-fourth congress
without nnv action heimr taken ursm
them. All of them occur in counties
that will be represented in the next
house by populists and it will conse
quently fall to the lot of Senator
Thurston to recommend appointees for
these positions. As the vacancies in
the offices have now been waiting for
some time the nominations will doubt
less be among the first that President
McKinley will send into the senate.
A. 1). Peebles of Pender is also in
evidence us an applicant for the Omaha
and Winnebago Indian agency now
held by Cupt. W. II. Beck. Peebles is
said to have Senator Thurston's hack
ing.
It is rumored that Representative
Kugene J. Ilaincr of Nebraska is to be
pushed for one of the assistant secre
taryships of the treasury. Mr. Mainer
has been in bed for three weeks and
the report cannot be verified.
The comptroller of the currcney
recognizes tli following changes in
Nebraska national banks: First
national bank, Fremont. M. J. Lee,

First national bank, Orleans. M. F.

A special to the Omaha World-Herald
says the Nebraska relief commission
has given out the following:
After much correspondence and other
labors on the part of the Nebraska
relief commission, arrangements have
at last been completed to transport all
donations of corn from Nebraska for
the famine-stricken people of India
free of charge from the .Missouri river
to the shores of India and the liometof
famine.
Last month the committee notified
•the public through the newspapers of
these arrangements. We again appeal
to Nebraska people to make generous
contributions for this great and needy
charity. Let it be known to the world
not only tbut Nebraska abounds in
productive fields and abundant crops,
but also that its people are able to
appreciate the in sis and sufferings of
their fellow men everywhere, and are
prepared to give from their own abun
dance. We appeal also that such con
tributions as are made. Im* made
promptly. The ravages of the India
famine bring hundreds every day. men.

to Nebraska—Senator Thurston's
Attitude — Congressmen to
He Consulted With.
Nebraska Not forgotten.
The special Washington correspond
ent of the Lincoln Journal telegraphs
that Senator Thurston already has a
worried look, lie proposes to do the
Itest he can, bnt is quite willing to
postpone the critical decision until the
last moment. Postponement is to he
tlie order of the (lay in the matter of
appointments to office. This Ls tlie
word which comes from the white
house. President McKinley desires
time to consider applications. Such
offices ns expire hy limitation of tenure
will Ik; promptly tilled. Others will ho
carefully considered. It will he found,
in the case of a large number of the
most prominent offices of national and
not of purely state importance, that
the president lias already made his
selections. Most of the prominent
foreign appointments have already
licen wiped off tin- slate. A large
number of those offices in the depart
ments at Washington not covered by
the civil service rules have been prom
ised in advance of the inauguration.
With respect 1<> others President Mc
Kinley proposes to ta- guided by the
advice of the republican senators and
representatives from tlie variousstutes.
Senator I nuntton will in* tin' controll
ing force in Nebraska if Representa
tives Strode and Mercer make no ob
jection, as they possibly wilt not.
Should they decide that as the rep
resentatives in tin- ]K>piilar branch
of tlie government chosen l*y the
republican party in their districts
to voice republican sentiment at
Washington, they are entitled to
a hearing and consideration in matters
of republican :ip]*>intments. an issue
might be raised which would embar
rass the president in his determination
of matters relating to appointments in
our state.
in other states the delegation* have
been called together to determine upon
questions of patronage and the view s
of representatives have been given con
sideration by the senators. The par
ticular condition of affairs in Nebraska
by which an anti-administration state
ticket was selected last November and
a majority of the delegation in the
house, with one of the senators in
opposition, renders tin- situation a
peculiarly interesting one. Incase the
two republican representatives should
demand a share of file state patronage
it would compel President McKinley to
make a decision w hich would 1/e ex
tremely disagreeable to himself.
There are indications tiiat.ludge Strode
and Representative Mercer arc not in
clined to euneede the entire patronage
of the state, outside of the J/ost offices
in their districts, to Senator Thurston.
It is quite possible that they will ask
of the senator that their views upon
certain matters shall 1/e given consid
eration and that in the absences of such
consideration the matter will be laid
Is.-fore the president. It is believed
that Senator Thurston does not pro
pose to ignore his two republican col
leagues in the Nebraska delegation
and that he will yield something of the
patronage which he is supposed to
absolutely control in deference to their
wishes and to their l/t-lief that the in
terests of the party and the size of the
Nebraska delegation in the house of
the ne\t congress will be conserved by
such concession.

PUSHING FOR PLACE.
Nrbraskuni in Evidence for Public
Pneitionv.
Washington special to the Omaha
Bee: Senator Thurston today saw no
less than twenty Nebraska citizens
who are applicants for positions under
the new administration. All the morn
ing he was besieged with candidates
and when he left for the republican
senatorial caucus, called at 2 o'clock to
determine the future action of that
party so far ns reorganization and fill
ing of committees urc concerned, lie
looked jaded and thoroughly worn out.
But his troubles have only commenced.
I ndcrstnnding that the legislature of
Nebraska passed a resolution directing
him to send all his seeds to the legisla
ture for distribution, he stated that
the legislature would have to direct
resolutions to senators and representa
tives in accord with the principles of
the party dominating Nebraska at
present. That he would continue to
send seeds to people of the state, irre
spective of purty, who might need and
appreciate them.
Now that Washington is settled
down to quietness a great exodus of
Nebraskans is noticed. Many of the
inauguration visitois from the Ante
lope state left late last night and many
more left today, some going to New
York, while others are hurrying home
ward us rapidly us trains can curry
them.
It is generally understood that out \
of courtesy to Ins colleague Senator j
Thurston will permit Senator Allen to
nuine the postmaster ut Madison. Ncl>.,

publicans in the house could hold

There are several bills in the legis

Howell, voids marriage between nnc-h
and niece, and nephew and aunt. Just i
what the object fo lie gained is. unless ;
it is to release some property that has
been tied up by such marriages, is not I
discernible, because if the near rela
tionship were the objectionable feature. 1
it would suffice to prohibit nurriages ,
within that degree. Yeiscr has a hill,
too. that empowers the court on appli
cation of either one of the parties to
declare a common law marriage of
persons who have cohabited. Another
bill fm this subject is senate tile N'o

Payabie Quarterly.
Attorney General Smyth gave an
opinion, on request of State Auditor
Cornell, relating to the time of pay
ment of deputies and clerks employed
in the different state departments
Hitherto it has lieen the custon of the t
auditor to pay the deputies in the
offices of the secretary of state and
superintendent of public instruction
monthly. Accordingly tlicir vouchers
were made out and presented for the
first months of the time during which
the new deputies had been employed.
All other officers, deputies and clerk* i
hud been paid quarterly. The attorney i
