HOUSE.—By a vote of ~>2 to 12 tlie
house in committee of the whole on
the ">th recommended passage of Mc
Carthy's bill to authorize 'he appoint
ment of a h ipreme c out commission.
An amendment w as atr; h 1 requir
ing the court to select five of the com
missioners from the political party
casting a majority of the votes at the
last general election and four from
other parties. There was very little
opposition to tlie bill in general, but
on McCarthy's amendment the mem
bers were divided strictly on party
lines. Under the order of third re;qj
ftig several hills were takn up and
speedily disposed of. The South Om
aha charter, introduced by Wilcox,
was first on the list and, as amended
by the committee on cities and towns,
the measure w as passed, with an emer
gency clause, by a vote of C9 to C.
Mullen had an amendment to the tax
ation feature of the hill, hut it was
declared out of order beacuse the bill
bad been announced by unanimous
consent of the house. By unanimous
\ote the house passed Vamh grift's
till to reimburse Sherman county for
ftilO expended for care and treatment
of smallpox cases, and Warner's meas
ure to reimburse the German Evan
gelical church for $5o0 expended for a
I uilding site in this city. At the close
of yesterday’s session Whitmore had
nn amendment to change the name
' supremo court commissioner” to ' su
preme court referee.” When the hill
was again brought up in committee of
tli? v,hole today Mr. Whitmore witn
drew the amendment, spying that he
would oppose the entire measure c:i
constitutlcnal grounds. The amend
mcnt introduced by McCarthy pro
voked a discussion that lasted nearly
all the afternoon. Loomis of Dodge,
a warm supporter of tho bill, thought
the selection of the commissioners
should be left entirely with the su
j preme court.
HOUSE—The bouse on tho 4th ree
' ommended for passage the bill provld
i i ig for a system of free public travel
ing libraries and male some headway

promise or dismiss ail suits now
pen ding wherein the state reeks to re

official bonds for indeflnito postpone
ment This report was not concurred
in, and the lull was placed on the
general file. Bills ordered to the gen
eral file were: Senate flio No 265, by
Martin, to determine and locate dis
puted section und boundary tines of
1 adjacent lands. Senate file No. 272,
liy Hansom, on reipiest. to repeal sec

in hands of county treasurers under
direc tion of county boards. Senate file
No. 296, by Martin, to permit officers
of (he state relief commission to pay
into (he state treasury $400 unexpend
ed funds. The senate then resolved
itself into committee of the whole,
with Senator Trompen in the chair, to
consider the normal school MU. house
roll No. 37, by Broderick. The re
mainder of the day was devoted to t.he
discussion of this measure. Senators
Young end Owens speaking against it.
SENATE.—The hill to create two
new normal schools was again taken
up. Its opponents gained a point
when they secured an amendment by
the narrow vote of 15 to 14. But this
was in committee of the whole, while
Senator Trompen, a supporter of the
measure, was in the chair and not vot
ing. The amendment, adopted pro
vides that the schools shall be located
in the Fifth and Sixth congressional
districts by the board of public lands
and buildings, instead of the normal
board. It was proposed by Senator
Young, who, together with others op
posed to the measure, have a number
of amendments to offer later Senator
Crounsa pleaded for economy and read
from figures given him by Senator
Arnds, which showed that with this
$100,000 appropriation there will prob
ably be a deficit of $415,000 at the
end of the next biennium. He ap
pealed to the republicans to oppoae the
measure as a matter of party principle,
if for no other reason. Senator Arends
also spoke again the bill, quoting
freely from the statistics estimating
the incoming and expenditures, of the
state for the next two years. He, too,
wanted economy. He could see no de
mand for even one school, much less
two. Senator Olesen also spoke in op
position to the measure. He declared
that every member of the senate, re
gardless of politics, should by his
voice and vote announce that the peo
ple's money Khalil not be frittered
away. The matter was not disposed
of when the senate adjourned.
SENATE—On the 4th senate file No.
01, Van Boskirk’s bill providing for a
state veterinarian, was recommended
for passage with but a few dissenting
votes. Senator Trompen's bill propos
ing to increase the fees of the office
of sheriff, senate file 123, was recom
mended for indefinite postponement.
The senate went into committee of
the whole with Senator Martin in the
chair to take up the state normal
schools bill, house roll 37, out of its
regular order. Its consideration oc
cupied the entire time of the afternoon
session. Senator Harlan was against
the proposed appropriations and quot
ed figures to chow' that the state was
already paying over $500,000 a year
for educational purposes. “Why place
these schools in the Fifth and Sixth
districts," said the senator from York,
“where the population is annually de
creasing and where they have no rail
road facilities to speak of? Why not
consider the Fourth district?” Sen
ator Miller, who lives in Buffalo coun
ty, spoke in favor of the bill. He
thought the western part of the state
should be recognized. Senator Har
lan sent up an amendment w-hich cut
out of the hill ail reference to districts
and which would leave the hoard free
to locate them at any point in the
state should the bill pans. He had
been accused, l.e said, of being sus
picious of the action of the locating
board. The amendment was lost. Af
ter further discussion the measure
went over.
SENATE.—A wave of anger swept
over the senate on the 2nd culminat
ing in several wordy encounters, dur
ing which Hansom of Douglas gave no
tice that he would ask for a time for
the trial of Owens of Dawson for
words used on the floor of the senate,
ami at one time President Steele or
dered the floor cleared of all hut
members of the senate. All this tur
moil grew out of a report signed by
three members of the judiciary com
mittee recommending the indefinite
postponement of senate file No. 1C8. a
bill by Martin to fix the salary of the
clerk of the supreme court at $2,500 a
year, and to require all fens to be
turned into the state treasury. Mr.
Martin privately declared his intention
of testing the light, of the clerk to
retain the fees of his office. Regardless
of the disposition of this bill, he slid
he would bring a suit to test the con
stitutional provision which fixes the
clerk's salary at $1,500 a year. He
said lie placed the salary in the hill at
$2,500 knowing that $1,000 of it would
be unconstitutional, but hoping that
the clerk and all future clerks would
be willing to accept it without ques
tioning the constitutionality of a law
both fixing the salary at that figure
and requiring all fees to be turned into
recommended for passage. It is to
the state treasury. This was Mr. Mar
tin’s reply when some one spoke of
testing the constitutionality of his bill
if it became a law. The senate ad
journed until Monday without taking
action cm the report.
LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
The big Item in the appropriation
bill is that for $589,,000 in favor of the
State university, which is larger by
nearly $100,000 than the appropriation
two years ago, when it was a tremend
ous record breaker, eclipsing all for
mer efforts. This colossal appropria
tion the outgrowth of the extra 1
miU tax levy imposed by the last leg
islature, which It is now proposed to
! mike permanent.
The educational committee of the
' legislature will in a few days receive
i petition which is very much out of
the ordinary. It will consist of 8,402
ballots signed by parents of children
■ attending the, Omaha public schools.
Of them 7,438 are in favor of allowing
the board of education to continue un
der the present law to make the tax
levy for school purposes; 752 are in
favor of having the city council make
the levy, aud 212 are unmarked or so
marked that their meaning is doubt
ful.
Owing to the death of Representa
tive David Brown, which occurred at
his home in Nebraska City, the legis
lature adjourned on the 8th until the
following week In order that the mem
bers who so desire might attend tho
funeral Saturday.
Representative Brown, whose death
occurred at Nebraska City, was l>orn
in Pennsylvania and came of the plain,
rugged Quaker stock. He came to
Nebraska City more than forty years
ago. He has been engaged of late
years in farming, stock raising, real
estate and insurance, and has amassed
considerable property. He has been
postmaster of Nebraska City, was a
member of the legislature at the time
of the impeachmpnt of Governor But
ler and was elected last fall to repre
sent the legislative district of Cass and
Otoe counties. He leaves a widow and
oue son aged 14 years.
If the report of its committee on
claims is adopted by the senate J. B.
Meserve. ex-state treasurer, will not be
reimbursed for the $2,000 it cost him
to furnish a guaranty company bond
the last two years of his incumbency.
The same committee, however, in the
same report, recommends the appro
priation of $3,000 to pay the premium
of State Treasurer Stuefer for the year
1901. The bill, with this committee
report attached, was placed on the
general file.
Calvin Ballows, aged 45, an employe
of the Trees Manufacturing company
at, Oreenfleld. Ind., was instantly kill
ed by the Pennsylvania fast mail.
The destruction of the penitentiary
by Are and the largely increased ap
propriations which its rebuilding will
necessitate discourages some of the
enthusiastic “normalites" who have
been workng hard for the passage of
a bill making appropriations for two
additional normal schools. "We have
not gtveu up the fight by any means.”
said one of the more enthusiastic
members, "but we are afraid that the
changed conditions brought about by
the burning of the penitentiary will
have an effect on some of the senators
who were indifferent as to the normal
school bill, but on whom we were fig
uring to help us out by their votes, if
not by their active support.
Some complications are apt to arise
out of the penitentiary fir*- A resolu
tion was adopted in the house asking
the State Board of Public I.ands and
Buildings to employ a competent ar
chitect at once to examine the walls
of th9 burned building and submit an
immediate report as to their condition
whether available for rebuilding, and
an approximate estimate of the cost
of reconstruction. It is certain an ef
fort will be made to retain the peni
tentiary at its present location, the
principal factors enlisted to that end
being the convict labor contractors.
The only feature of the balloting for
United States senator on the 2nd was
the appearance of N. D. Jackson of
Neligh in the list. He received the
votes which were cast the day before
for Wethereld and in addition those of
Jouvenat, Oleson and Cuming, Smith
berger and Swanson. The position of
none of the leaders except Meiklejohu

WRITES OF SUICIDE.
Peroantage of Meir-Destructloa InerMP
In* Fast In Kurope
Iu a paper printed in the American
Journal of Insanity, Mr. G. Styles pre
sents statistics regarding the occur
rence of suicides. Forty years ago it
was shown that only four out of 10,000
persons rated as paupers died by their
own hands, while seven coachmen or
other servants, five bankers or other
professional men, nearly eight soldiers,
seven tailors, shoemakers or bakers,
and only 1 3-10 carpenters, butchers
and masons out of 10,000 were suicides.
Sweden had the lowest average of all
the ■■ountrles considered, namely, one|
suicide to 92,000 persons; Russia had
one to 35,000; the United States one to
15,000; Saxony, one to 8,446. In St.
Petersburg and in Ixjndon the propor
tion was one to 21,000. If we take the
statistics of the fifty years Just passed
for France the following results: For
every 100,000 inhabitants of Franco
there were in 1841-45, nine suicides;
in 1816-50, ten; in 1861-70, thirteen; in
18 1-. >, fifteen; in 1S76-80, seventeen;
in 1889 alone, twenty-one; in 1893,
twenty-two; in 1894, twenty-six. Dur
ing the years 1826-1890 the porcentago
of suicides increased in Belgium 72
per cent; in Prussia, 411 per cent; in
Austria, 258 per cent; in France, 313
per cent; in SaxcSy, 212 per cent; in
Sweden, 72 per ceut; In Denmark, 35
