itself Into committee of the whole

roll No 37 by Broderick The re
mainder of the day was devoted to the
discussion of this measure Senators
Young and Owens speaking against it
SENATE The bill 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
Crounse pleaded for economy and read
from figures given him by Senator
Arnds which showed that with this
100000 appropriation there will prob
ably be a deficit of 415000 at the

pealed to the republicans to oppose the

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 show that the state was
already paying over 500000 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 r 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 which cut
out of the bill all reference to districts
and which would leave the board free
to locate them at any point in the
state should the bill pass He had
been accused he 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 Ransom 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
and at one time President Steele or
dered the floor cleared of all but
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 108 a
bill by Martin to fix the salary of the
clerk of the supreme court at 2500 a
year and to require all fees to be
turned into the state treasury Mr
Martin privately declared his intention
of testing the right of the clerk to
retain the fees of his office Regardless
of the disposition of this bill he said
he would bring a suit to test the con
stitutional provision which fixes the
clerks salary at 1500 a year He
said he placed the salary In the bill at
2500 knowing that 1000 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
tins 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 on the report
LEGISLATIVE NOTES
The big item in the appropriation
bill is that for 589000 in favor of the
State university which is larger by
nearly 100000 than the appropriation
two years ago when it was a tremend
ous record breaker eclipsing all for
mer efforts This colossal
tion is the outgrowth of the extra 1-
mill tax levy imposed by the last leg
islature which it is now proposed to
make permanent
The educational committee of the
legislature will In a few days receive
a petition which is very much out of
the ordinary It will consist of 8402
ballots signed by parents of children
attending the Omaha public schools
Of them 7438 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 and 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 born
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
yedrs 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 impeachment 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

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 2000 it cost him
to furnish a guaranty company bond
the last two years of his incumbenc
The same committee however in the
same report recommends the appro
priation of 3000 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 Greenfield Ind was instantly kill
ed by the Pennsylvania fast mail
The destruction of the penitentiary
by fire 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 given 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 fire A resolu
tion was adopted in the house asking
the State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings to employ a competent ar
chitect at once to examine the walls
of the 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
