A The linkup special of February 7,
says: ynecu Wllhelmina's matriagp,
to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg
Sclnvcnn. who today beeauie Prince
Helnrlch of the Netherlands, was a
Imp-family affair. All llollaml that
could caino to Tho Hague to take part,
1 hose who stayed at their homes in
other citici. and villages of the king
dom celebrated with parades, decora
sons and banquet.
Never was wen a mnip 1mm Hl fill and
happy wedding. The popidar belief
is that it is a love match, like that of
ictona and Allert, aud this gives a
romantio coloring to the event, whleh
1m Keiiorully lacking In roynl marriages.
I nil ceremonies were the same simple
and uurituallstlc rltesof tho reformed
Inn el. by which the humblest of the
queen's subject wete man led. The
whole spirit of the mVnlt- .., it i
democratic, although the costly gowns
and jewels and tho show uniforms of
distinguished crsnnBges, high oflli ials
of the kingdom, the army and the
navy and leprcsentatlves of the people
In parliament and the municipalities,
furnished a regal stage setting.
Tho venerable pastor administered to
the bride and gioom the caution that
their high positions would not shield
them from the common suffciiiigs and
fcorronhof humanity.
Queen Wilhelmina was a verv win
ning and human bride. She blushed
and became confused over the cere
monial with the ring, as all brides are
supposed to do, while her happiness
and pride over the enthusiasm of hei
people were plainly deeper than a mere
matter of form.
Prince Helnrich wao an awkward,
but stalwart and manly figure. Hither
he was forgetful or badly trained in
the iart, for the pastor had to give
hitn Iwoor tluce hints ay to how to
carry himself. Those sitting near
enough to hear the responses describe
him as saying ".lah nieltiherr," when
hftbltould have simply replied ".lah."
The scene as the loyal couple stood
wjth clanged lianda before the chap
lain in a circle of) brilliantly arrayed
parsonages, including their relatives
and people, composing the highest fam
ilies of Holland and the neighboring
Herman principalities, was wonder
fully gorgeous, the'masscs of variegat
ed coloring rendering more effective
the blue, gold and white banked up
against the walls of the chinch. The
building itself is a cathedral in size,
but is as plain as a quaker meeting
house in its furnishing.
The expenses of the wedding will be
borne by the royal family. They
amount to several hundred thousand
guilders. The Court Gazette pnhllfchei
a degree signed by the queen announc
ing that the prince of the Netherlands
will have a seat in the advisory ttute
council.
In asking the bride and groom if
they were willing faithfully to fnlUl
ii uie jiuues or the married state, tho
minister of justice said:
The question Is most Important,
not only to you, but to our beloved
eountry."
The queen and her betrothed an
Bwered In the affirmative, whereupon
the minister of justice said:
"I now declare yon married accord
ing to the law, and I wish you all pos
sible happiness."
Turning to the husband, he said:
"For tho love of your bride you
nave left your land and your people.
Yon have promised to be a true and
faithful husband. The loyalty of all
our people will be assured to you."
Then turning to the queen the min
ister of justice said:
"Tou have seen how all the people,
from the youngest child, have given
.you their homugn at your coionation,
and how they rejoice with yon today,
praying God that all possible bappl
ness may be your portion. Your hap
piness will reach further than youi
honsehold. May God make your mar
riage a salutary one for our beloved
eountry."
The queen and prince consort have
bound themselves by the contract, in
accordance with the statutes, to rec
ognize the husband as the head of the
matrimonial uulon, and to provide for
and educate the children of the union.
The husband assumes the responsibil
ity of representing the wife in all civil
actions, and of administering hrr prop
erty, except as he is restricted by tht
marriage cnutracta, by the terras of
which he renounces any right to sell
or mortgage her landed property.

Lincoln, Feb,, S. The bouss session
yesterday was lively from the outset.
As Noon as the journal was read,
Sprechcr of Colfax, on a question of
privilege, caused to be read an article
published in the Omaha lice iclatiug
to the. position of the minority party
on the bouse bill requiring the allied
printing trades label on all state print
ing. Tho article in question charged
the minority memlH'rs with being in
sincere in their ftiendship for union
labor. As Sprecher was one of the
leaders In opposition to the bill on
pm elj constitutional grounds, betook
exceptions to the article and scored
the paper lu question for mis-representing
the position of the minority.
Mr. Spiecher said he .as a friend of
organised labor and that in these times
of organized capital organized labor
was a necessity, but he said thu bill
was not a good one for it was monop
olistic in its tendency. He said he op
posed the bill and that he would have
the nerve and haeklKiue to stand up
and give his reasons for it. lie also
mentioned that very few republicans:
favored the measure.
Similar comments were passed by
other memlH'rs aud Taylor of Custer
was severe in his remarks again st the
paper in question. Sprechcr moved to
reconsider the vote postponing tlte bill
simply to hare a roll call aud plae u
every member on record. The vote on
this was lost becaiisti the necessary
two-thirds majority was not seemed.
An incident of the day In the house
was the order to the sergeant-at-arms
to exclude the two gentlemen men
tioned us lobbyists fiom the lloor of
the house or the lobby. They had been
t-i'cn about the hall and the speaker
mentioned the fact and gave the order
which the house agreed to ou motion
of Spiecher.
The house passed a number of bills,
among them being the .series provld
ingfortlie appointment of commissions
to act with similar commissions from
Iown, Missouri and South Dakota to
settle the boundary between these
stutes. Sprccher's bill to permit trans
fer of property where the person trans
ferring lias an Insane husband or wife,
passed. House roll No. a, the bill be
manded by Lancaster county, by rea
son of her reduced ponululion, and
permitting county commissioners to
be elected at large In thu county,
passed.
Tho fate of the normal school bill In
the senate remains unknown to the
friends of the measure because it is in
the hands of a committee of which
Crounse of Washington is chairman.
As he is an avowed opponent of new
noimal schools there is much anxiety
expressed by those who wish to estab
lish two new schools, one In tho Fifth
congressional district and another in
thu Sixth district. It is rumored tin i
Arapahoe aud Broken How are to se
cure the schools in case they are estab
lished. The senate passed four bills, two be
ing unimportant measures intended to
eut'e defects in the statutes. The most
important bill passed was one author
ising the suprcmu court to appoint a
commission of nine members, the ap
pointments to be made by unanimous
vote of the court. It Is reported that
the bill will be amended ln the house
so as to give tho court power to call
on the district judges of the state to
perform the labors of the commission
In tho event this can be done legally.
Owens, of Dawson, Introduced a bill
to appropriate 830,000 to pay the ex
pense of boring four wells in the hope
of finding petroleum, one well to bo
located at or near Lexington, one at
Chadron, one at Culbertson and one at
Omaha. Mr. Owens has been urged by
Mr. Warrington, of Lexington, to have
such a bill introduced, Mr. Owens Is
himself convinced that the bill him

eum and gas have been discovered In
such quantities an to make the cost of
fuel vera small and he, believes Ne
braska can afford to spend something
to make similar discoveries. Tho wells
are to be 8,000 feet deep.

to children not less than seven nor
more than fourteen years of age. They

Lincoln, Nob. Fob. S. -The ppnato
spent most of thp day lu cominltteo of
the whole and succeeded in disposing
of several bills. The bill defining a
legal newspaper was n nip tided ngalusl
the wishes of Its friends and was then
recommended for passage. Quite a
largo number of reports from com
mittees weip received. All the bills
against kidnaping were post Mined ex
cept Senator Hansom's measure, whleh
will be accepted by thp senate for pass
age an representing the best Ideas.
Thp repeal of the law cieatlug a bar-Ik-is'
oNamtulug board Is said to be de
termined on. At any rate a bill to ac
complish that end w'as reported back
after having been, committed for
amendment. The bill was ordered en
grossed for a third reading, a position
it occupied once befoie. It was merp
ly held back In order to givp the bar
bers' a hearlug. Arend's forestry bill
was likewise brought forth again with
amendments ami oidcrcd engrossed for
a third reading. As amended It does
not fix the rate of taxation for forestry
tracts, but provides that the Increase
lu valuation caused by the planting of
tiees shall not be taken into consider
ation for the purposes of assessment.
Hansom's bill releasing thp homUmcn
of L. F. Hilton, former oil Inspector,
from certain inleiest included in a
judgment secured by the stale, was in
definitely postponed ou ireoiumeuda
tion ou the committee on judiciary.
Au undercurient of suppressed ex
citement was noticeable in the hoiiho
yesterday. It was caused by the
knowledge that the eommltleo ap
pointed to Investlgatuthe lobby was at
work and was securing what It was
after. The fact sent a slilver through
some of the inembeis and aroused a
feeling of Intciest in others as they arc
anxious that the suspicion caused by
the Investigation shall be fully allayed.
Thp matter was luxutglit out more
prominently by the consideration and
postponement of a bill which wasopen
ly alleged ou the floor of the house to
le of a hold-up character.
The committee appointed yesterday
morning as the time of meeting, but
all the. members did not get together.
Another meeting has been appointed
for today. Chairman Fowler has been

Thu bill postponed yesterday was
one to cause manufacturers of paints
to print the Ingredients of the paint
on all'can.s of the same used. Whit
more of Hamilton made the open state
ment that the measure was a hold-up
bill. It found many ohuuiplons on its
merits among the fuslonlsts, and for a
time it was doubtful whether it would
be killed. The majority opposed how
ever. Representative Tefft, thuinttoducer,
in explaining this measure said he was
wholly Innocent of any ulterior motive
in introducing the bill. It had been
hamlcd to him, and he put It in, think
ing it was one of the general class of
bills for the prevention of the manu
