It is not supposed that a jury ca be completed inside of several days. The defense is making a very siren uous fight , but there is reason to believe liove that new evidence surroundin ; the tragedy itself has been held bad and will for the first time be presentei on the trial , which will prove the orig inal theory to be correct. The self-defense theory is apparent ly the one on which the defense wil rely , although there is still a rumo of sensational allegations to be madi in the defense. There are over fift : witnesses subpoenaed. Kennison is on trial for the killin ? of Samuel D. Cox. WORK OF THE CLUB WOMEN. Nebraska Child Labor Law Before the Governor for Signature. The child labor bill has passed botl louses of the Nebraska legislature anc ? one to the governor for his signature While the actual work of seeing tht bill through the legislature has neces sarily been confined to a few , the clut women may justly take much credit tc themselves for this progressive legisla tion begun at their instance. Of those who have been untiring in their efforts in behalf of the bill Mrs. Draper Smith , of Omaha , deserves especial recognition. As chairman of the in dustrial committee of the Nebraska Federation of Momen's Clubs , Mrs. Smith was largely instrumental > n bringing about the concerted action of the clubs and subsequently in gaining the active support of the state and Omaha Bar associations , the State Teachers' association and others who contributed their influence. Two years ago Mrs. Smith gave the same valua ble assistance to the juvenile court bill and it was her continued interest in it ifter it became a law that convinced tier of the necessity of the supple mentary legislation embodied in the : hild labor bill.

Brink will.ask the authoi ties to allow him to place the youi man under the care of a private phy : cian. instead of sending him to one the state hospitals for the insane Lincoln or Norfolk. Mr. Brink believes that his son wit out doubt was insane on the day the shooting of Bessie Newton. I believes that he was insane for son days previous to that fatal day.

No Twine Plant , in Pen. rhe house indefinitely postponed the appropriating $200.000 for estab- ling a binding twine factory at the te penitentiary. In a lengthy opinion written by- Judge Letton and concurred in by th- other members , the supreme court ha - sustained the demurrer filed by the at torneys of Gov. George L , Sheldon Ire the suit wherein the attorney general , at the governor's request , sought to- collect $100 rent for the governor's mansion for January. The court holds-- that the occupancy of the executive- mansion by the governor , during tim term of ottice. is , not a perquisite of office or other compensation as pro hibited by the constitution. On gen eral principles the court says that when the legislature has construed : L provision of the constitution in an ad ministrative matter in one or u\ < > - equally reasonable ways it will n it take the opposite view , but will adopt and follow the legislative construction. Judge Letton goes on to say that there- is nothing in the constitution which , provides that the legislature shall fur- n'sh ' a state eapitol building or that it shall fucnish any office for the execu tive , but there is no limitation on its- power to do so and the creation of the office implies the power and the duty * to provide means , accessories and in strumentalities for the purpose otV'ar- rying into effect the purpose for whie-h > .he office was created. * * * Special Assistant Attorney General 5. R. Rush , who , with Assistant Attor ney General Burch , will have chaige- of the mineral land fraud investiga tions and prosecutions in Colorado ami Wyoming , are busily engaged in drau- Ing up their plans of work. "Wliilc- we cannot now name the men who will be caught in this act , they will be- big fish , " said an official connected with this work. "I can tell you the- recent prosecutions in Nebraska , which caught such men as Bartlett. Richards and W. G. Comstock , two off the biggest cattlemen of the state , will be mere child's play us compared with , the upheaval in Colorado and Wyo- iiing. When the names of the do- 'endants are known it will shake the- ivest with sensation. And there ilt je no let up. Attorney General Bon'a- larte personally is determined that ; his shall be the most swcreping an : horough of all these land investlira- ions. With the president he is hope- 'ul of putting an end to such frauds" his time. " In the case of Rock county agaiiL -lolt county the court holds that th iection of the statutes providing for he care of non-resident paupers by he county wherein they are found ard eimbursement therefor by the county > f such pauper's residence applies t r .11 counties in the state. Holt county laJ contended in the lower court that he provisions of the statute did not .pply to It because it had never e'stab ished a poor house. The lower court uled that this contention was goo < V < > ut the supreme court did not ajree\ ith this view. Gov. Sheldon did not make the ex- ected appointment of a police com- ilssion for Omaha to succeed Com- ilssioner Spratlen , whose term has spired. Said the governor recently : "I elieve an entire new board should be- ppointed. I have had for some time- le resignations of two of the po'Jee- Dmmissioners , subject , to acceptance- t pleasure , and I am deferring the- ppointments in the hope that the- mrth member also will retire volun- irily and enable me to reconstruct thc- hole board at once. " . * * The passage by the Nebraska Iegi - .ture of the bill for taxation ot rail- > ad property in cities and villages .or cal purposes , on the same basis or ? hich other property is taxed , marks- ie end of the fight that began in thc- gislature of 1901 and has beers aged by bitter spirit in every stc- ; eding session.
