No county, township, mu- ( nicipal or school board others shall contract with nor be interested di rectly or indirectly in any contract | with tiie corporation of which he or they are such officer or officers, nor shall they permit any supplies or ma terial for the use of, nor be interestel directly or indirectly in the furnish ing of any such supplies or materia'.

This is to permit two or more county superintendents, with approval and co-operation of the state superintendent, to organize and con duct joint institutes. SENATE.—The senate on the 21st indulged in the wholesale slaughter of insurance measures by adopting the report of its i .surauce committee re commending three bills for indefinite postponement. Representative Swan son's bill to permit the state treasurer ! to transfer the sinking fund to the general fund was ordered engrossed for a third reading. It is house roll 204 and has already passed the1 house. Senator Steele's bill, senate file 91, drawn and recommended by officers of the national guard, establishing a military code for the state and to pro vide for organization, government and compensation of the organized militia, was recommended for passage. H. C. Lindsay, private secretary of Governor Dietrich, read a message to the Btate announcing that the governor had at tached his signature to house roll 49 and senate file 49.

SENATE—By a vote of 18 yeas to 12 nays, which lacked the necessary two-thirds, the senate on the 20th re fused to permit to he engrossed for third reading Senator Liddell's reso luiion reqnestii g all employers of more than ten employes to pay salaries once a week and in cash. It was con sequently ordered to the general file. Senator Harlan's bill, senate file No. 1*), providing imprisonment in the penitentiary for not. more than twen j ty years nor less than one year for kidnaping a child under the age of 18 ; years, was placed on third reading and ! passed without a dissenting vot°. An emergency clause is attached. Senate ! file No. 74, by Harlan, amending the i laws relating to cities or the first class, was considered at length and recommended for passage. Senate file 153, by Oleson, permitting residents in the center of a section of land to have a road to the outside world, was indefinitely postponed. House roil 61, by Broderick, was indefinitely post poned. It related to “roads’" and the same subject is more thoroughly cov ered by house rolls 56 and 58. which are recommended by ths county com missioners of the state. Senate file No. 150, by Steele, to provide for the licensing of persons who operate l steam engines, steam boilers and steam generators, and to establish a , commissioner of engineering and a board of examining engineers, was in definitely postponed. Senate llie 180, . by Miller, was recommended for pass age. It provides that the electors of j any town at their annual meeting may levy an additional tax of not more than three miils to be used exclusively for grading and repairing roads. SENATE.—The following were read the third time in the senate on the 19th and declared passed: Senate file 34. by Ziegler, to restrain male animals from running at large and to repeal section t of chapter 4 of the statutes as they now exist. Senator Berlet was the only one voting nay.

Senate file 140, by Young, providing that the board of managers of the State Poultry associa tion shall he empowered to decide their annual January convention shall he held. Senate file —, by Young, amending the present statutes relating to punishment for vagrancy. At the afternoon session, after passing house roll 49, declaring in favor of election of I'nited States senators by direct vote, tlie senate 'went into committee of the whole, with Senator Liddell in the chair, to consider hills on general file. House roll 49, a joint resolution asking congress to call a constitutional con vention for the purpose of considering an amendment which will permit of election of United States senators by direct vote, was recommended for pass age. A number of hills were intro duced and the senate then adjourned. SENATE.—la the senate on the 10th senate files Nos. 122 and 1S7, both by Cummins, were indefinitely postponed. Both proposed an increase of the state tax on peddlers of watches, clocks, jew elry, patent medicines and other wares, making the license for each vendor $100. One had an emergency clause at tached. Senate file 23, by Hansom, relating to deseendents aud providing that certain relatives may institute proceedings for loss of life in event of the next of kind not bringing it, was passed by a vote of 29 to 0. Sen ate file 112. by O'Neill, providing that assessors shall return a list to the county clerk each year of the soldiers in their precinct, township or ward who served in the war of 1812, the Mexican war, the war of the rebellion, the war with Spain and the war in the Philippines, was passed by a vote of 25 to 2, Senators Johnson and Miller voting against it. The following res olution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, by the senate of the state of Nebraska, That the death of the Hon. Samuel Maxwell closes the life of one of Nebraska's most upright citi zens. His long years of public service in various departments proved his abil ity as a lawyer and his integrity as a citizen. He brought ever the test of light to the discharge of duty and1 with a purpose only for justice. His: career as a judge reflected credit upon himself and the several courts of which he was at various times a mem ber. Duty was well done, an upright life, a conscientious judge, a kindly man, a useful citizen, a man loved by those who knew him—these are mem-; ories recalled of Samuel Maxwell. The state has lost a good citizen; human ity a friend. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. The senate rommittee on public lands and buildings, composed of Sen ators Allen, Young, Trompen. Arends, Berlet, Owens, Steele, Lyman and Krumbach, went to Omaha for the purpose of looking into the needs of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, located in that city. The house held but a half day ses sion on the 22nd. Most of th° time was devoted to a discussion of the merits of Representative Fowler's bill relating to the redemption of laud sold for taxes. In committee of the whole the measure was recommended for indefinite postponement, and this recommendation was afterward car ried out by the house. It was urged that the bill conflicted with the terms of another measure favorably pa-sad upon by the committee of the whole and awaiting final consideration. Senator Crounse introduced a bill which provides for the sale, either at auction or private sale, of the prop erty belonging to the state and known as the governor's mansion, the bill providing that the money shall be turned Into the state treasury. Senator Miller's bill, providing for stipulated sums to be paid county commissioners provides that county commissioners and county supervisors shall each be allowed for the time, they shall be actually and necessarily employed in the duties of their office, the sum of $3 per clay, and 5 cents per mile for each mile necessarily trav eled; provided, however, that in coun ties not having more than 5,000 in habitants their per diem shall not ex ceed $100 per year. By a vote of 84 to 7 Van Baskirk’s hide inspection bill passed the house, and the governor's signature is the only thing lacking now to make it a law. It contains an emergency clause and will therefore become effective as soon as signed by the governor. Four bills introduced by McCarthy and indorsed by the State Bar asso ciation were taken up by the house and passed without debate. These were numbered 2150, 282, 23 1 and 234, and all were recommended for passage by the committee of the whole. They affect supreme court procedure, espe cially in the manner of appealing and disposition of cases. Among new tolls introduced is one by Senator O'Neill, providing for the appointment of a deputy auditor for the insurance department. The bill provides that the auditor of public ac counts shall have power to appoint a deputy for the insurance department of his office, who shall give a bond to the state in the sum of $5,000. The deputy, wnen authorized or acting for, or instead of the auditor, in all mat ter pertaining to insurance, shall have and may exercise the same power and authority conferred by law upon the auditor of public accounts. The Mail Under Arnst Undoubtedly Implicated in the Affair. fit IS IDfNTIFIfD BY A WOMAN Firm in Her Decision tlmt Cnllaluni !§ the Mini Seen In the Neighborhood of the lIouMe Where Young Cudahy Wat Confined. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 25.—The strong est identification thus far as one of the Cudahy kidnapers was that of Mrs. George F. Wittum, who picked him out of a line of five prisoners as they marched by her at the city jail. Two days before her husband, Attor ney George F. Wittum, had identified Callahan under similar circumstances. Tlie identification made by Mrs. W*^ turn is considered especially good, as \arious means were employed to con fuse her and shake her judgment, but she remained firm in her decision that Callahan was the man she saw in the neighborhood of the Melrose Hill pris on house ten or twelve times during the two weeks immediately preceding the abduction. Mr. and Mrs. Wittum live at 3641 Boulevard avenue, within a few hund red yards of the house in which young Cudahy was held prisoner. Their at tention was attracted to Callahan then by reason of his uncouth appearance. They regarded him as a suspicious character and scrutinized him clcsely whenever he showed himself in the vicinity. Having taken special notice of him on these occasions they were able to identify him positively. “The last time I saw him," said Mr. Wittum, “was on Monday, December 17. the day before the kidnapping. It was between 12 and 1 o'clock in the afternoon. 1 happened to be home that day. I was sitting at the front win dow when my wife came in from the yard and called my attention to a man who was passing. walking slowly southward in front of the house. He was looking in at the window, and. not being more than twenty feet away, 1 had an excellent opportunity to study his face. I remember he impressed me as 'sizing up' the place. He had the appearance of one who takes in every detail of his surroundings, and I re marked te my wife at the time that he was a tough looking character. 1 remember, also, that lie had his coat off and was carrying it on his arm, as the day was quite warm, despite the fact that it was the middle of Decem ber. My wfie said, 'I have seen him several times before hanging around here, and he acts suspicious.' I think she was a little afraid of him. “We watched him that time until he passed beyond the house of Henry Malchen on the corner, which cut off our view. He was then going toward the Schneiderwind house, as we call it —though 1 believe, it is better known as the Melrose Hill prison house—but we didn't see him enter it, as the Mal chen house was in the way. That was the last time we ever saw him in the neighborhood. lint termukeri rick No Town. ST. PAUL, Feb. 23.-The National Buttermakers’ convention adjourned this afternoon, leaving the choice of a place for the next convention entirely with the executive committee, which is to be appointed by the president. Kan sas City and Milwaukee are favorably considered. It is estimated that 4,000 ♦^legates have attended the conven tion. which is sntld to have been the most successful in the history of the association. Studying American Farm*. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Baron Hermann, agricultural expert of the German embassy, has received word from the German governm* nt that a specialist, designated by the agricul tural socities, will leave Berlin soon for the United tSates to make a care ful inquiry into the uses of American agricultural machinery, with a view to its introduction into general use in Germany.

Found Guilty of Argon. BEATRICE. Neb., Feb. 25.—The jury in the ease of the state vs. John Lutz, charged with arson, reached a verdict after being out for some hours. They found the young man guilty. The crime of which Lutz was convicted, was committed last May at Cortland, when a barn, containing, among other things, a stallion which was heavily insured, was burned. Convicted of Liquor Selling. DAKOTA ITY. Feb. 25.—James C.
