A .laniiary 7 special from Fremont
says that the murder of Herman 'aim
at Sn.wler was the sole topic of con
versation, ntul that on almost every
corner little groups of men could bo
seen congregated and earnestly talk
ing upon the subject.
Sheriff Kreader believes that all
(lunger or hncliing is past, since all
three of tlie desperadoes have been
placed behind the walls of the county
jail.
Sheriff Kreader and Chief Lytllek
arrived froin.Nest Point at t'::i(i this
morning with the third man who was
connected with the murder. This
bandit ausweis to the name of Wil
liam llurton He Is about twenty-four
years of age. and, to nil appearances,
Is well educated, and is entirely out of
the class in which he has been found.
William Rhea, the,oniig man, made
a rcw statements last evening, when
(itestii)ued by Sheriff Phlllpps of Com

men. (lardner has maintained silence
ever since his capture, and refuses to
talk about the affair or what part he
had in it Sheriff Kreader stated
this afternoon thai- Khea had finally
admitted to htm that he was the muu
who tired the fatal shot.
The police give full credence to the
story that at least six or eight mem
bers of a well organized gang of thugs
are still at large. No one expresses a
doubt us to the relationship L', itween
the Williams woman and the mini who
was sentenced to the penitentiary a
few days ago. Facts have been
hinught to light which prove conclu
sively that the rendezvous was all that
it has been reported to be. (1ms or two
farmers in the ncighliorhood have also
been Implicated and other arrests arc
expected The gang is undoubtedly
one of the toughest in the state, and It
will be a good riddance if a change of
(quarters is taken.

A notable speech was delivered
the benate yesterday by Mr. Iiodge
ill
of
Massachusetts. Addressing the sen
ate on the amendment of thu military
committee striking out the provision
of the reorganization bill for a veterin
ary corps, he discussed brlelly and
principally in the form of a colloquy
with Mr. Ilacon the Philippine ques
tion and the necessity for an nriny of
100.000 men. In conclusion he drew a
brilliant wonl picture of the commer
cial future of the United States, de
claring that the trade conflict with
Kurope, already begun, could result
only in the commercial and economic
supremacy of the entire world. In
this industrial conflict he apprehended
no danger from a material contest with
any nation of the world, but he urged
the necessity for a strong and scien
tifically organised army and a power
ful navy in older that the (Jutted
States might be prepared to defend
Its' rights against any possible foe.
During the afternoon the senate rati
fied the committee's proposition to
eliminate the house provision for the
establishment of u veterinary corps In
the ntmy.
Senator Teller of Colorado gave no
tice of n substitute he will offer for the
entire pending measure, continuing in
full force and effect the act of March

for three years from duly 1, HUM.

Tuemlay, January M.
The animated debate in the house on
the reapportionment bill is near its
close, it being agreed that a vote would
betaken Friday. It was expected there
would be a sequel to the exciting clash
of Saturday between Mr. LlttleJield of
Maine nnd Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, but
tho latter made no effort at rejoinder
nnd contented himself with the de
cision for the final vote. He expresses
confidence that the bill hoiring his
name will be passed tomorrow, al
though there may be a blight change,
giving an additional member to Flor
ida, Colorado and North Dakota, bring
ing the total membership up to UOO.
The notable speeches were by Mr.
Crumpaekcr of Indiana, dealing with
alleged disfranchisement in the south;
by Mr. Hepburn of lown, severely ar
ranging the present house, nnd by
Kir. Grow, of Pennsylvania, comparing
tho old system in the house with that
of the present.
Mr. Kitchen, North Carolina, the
first speaker, supported the Hopkins,
bill, but said he would voto against tho
amendment requiring the congression
al districts in tlie several states to be
'continuous and compact."
Mr. Crumpccker of Indiana, who
favors reduction of membership from
the south because of disfranchisement
advocated the llurlelgh bill us against
the Hopkins bill because it kept pace
vith the growth of tho country. He
agreed that during recent years the
inlluenco of the house in legislation
had gradually diminished, n condition
due to the fact that the members of
thu lower house allowed themselves to
be dominated by tho senate and chief
executive. If the membership was to
remain stationary as the years wenton
its influence would continue to de
crease. Ho then developed his argu
ment in favor of reducing representa
tion in certain southern states along
the line of his report.

The senate was In session a short
time yesterday afternoon. The mem
bers were all piesent, after having en
joyed a short vacation at their homes
or in Lincoln, and were ready for busi
ness. The business took a turn toward
the introduction of bills, the selection
of a few employes and discussion of
policy In caucus.
(Meson, of fuming. Introduced one
providing for the elimination of that
part of the law which now permits
pei sons to contract for the payment of
Interest at the rate of 10 per cent.
The bill will leave the rate at 7 per
cent. Interest on loans shall be 7 per
cent, and Interest on judgments shall
be U per cent., provided that where u
different late of Interest has been
agreed upon in the contract upon
which the decree or Judgment Is
founded, not greater than 7 per cent.,
thu rate of Interest upon such judg
ment or decree shall be the same, as
provided for by the terms of the con
tract. Hills for a constitutional con
vention and a constitutional amend
ment for the referendum were Intro
duced, Itaiisom, of Ilouglas, introduced
a bill to protect feebleminded women
from designing men. The present
law protects insauu women, but feeble
minded women, are not so piotecteil.
The friends of Mr. Hansom say this
bill Is of more importance than one
would suppose, ns it is evidently In
tended to cover a specltlu case that
ocuurrrd in Omaha.

ers to register and exhibit hides 1h
again before the senate, having been
introduced by Van lloskirk of Hox
Hutte, The net Is desired by the stock
raisers of the west who suffer from the

believed that thu exhibition and
registry of hides will answer the pur
pose. Other bills introduced provided for
the repeal of thu barbers' examination
act. defining u legal newspaper and to
authorize counties, townships and
hohiol districts to pay thu picmlum on
olllclal guaranty bonds given by
ollleers of such subdivisions.

Delicate experiments arc now going
on in the green houses tit The Univer
sity of Nebraska under the supervision
of Professor Emerson, of the Depart
ment of Horticulture of that institu
tion, in thu creation of new varieties
of ctirnutions by the crossing nnd
propagation of thu old standard plants
which they have on hand with newer
and more delicate varieties. Tho
method of doing this is quite novel
antl there is qnito a little speculation
as to what the outcome of these exper
iments will be. Thu buds of one plant
are fertilised by others and in this way
a graft is niude. Some of the ortlinary
hardy pinks arc used in these experi
ments and soma valuable varieties of
carnations tiro expected to be the out
como of those investigations.
