Nebraska Legislature An emergency appropriation meas ure in the house of the finance com mittee provides for an appropriation of $600 at once to tide Gov. Shallen- berger over until the regular appro priations are available and to prevent , HS the author says , the executive going Into his own pocket to pay his incident al expenses and those of the office. Clark look occasion to point out that the retiring governor had been liber ally provided with funds for the bien- nSum and had spent it all before he stepped down -and out. leaving the in coming governor poverty stricken and the end of the biennium still ten weeks away. Mr. Clark said he would ask to have the rules suspended and the bill advanced and passed so that the execu tive wheels can roll smoothly on for a while. Clark would have the legislature ap propriate $275 for books , stationery , telephone bills , etc. . in the office of the go\ernor , $100 for the contingent fund , and $225 for the maintenance of the governor's mansion and servant hire. This is to last until'the biennial appro priation is available. It takes the place of the ordinary deficiency ap propriation that is passed for almost all the offices and "state institutions. * * * Senator Ollis got in again Tuesday. He would abolish the office of county assessor in all counties with a popu lation under 20.000. He would also change the salaries of these officials so that in counties with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 he may receive J700. in counties of 30,000 to 50,000 not more than $ SOO. in counties of f.0.000 to 100.000 not more than § 1,800. and in counties of 100,000 or more not to exceed $2.400. One of the problems to be figured out is hov the law. if passed , will get rid of the county as sessors .elected in 1907 for foui-year terms. They were se'ected under the revenue law passed in the legislature in 1.905 and can hardly , it is said , be legislated out of office by the present legislature. r * * Pygland of Boone would have the state engage "i the business of manu facturing aJng lines that were consid ered last summer when the state board had the split with the contractor at the pententiary over wages to be yaid tre convicts. Mr. Bygland has in- ) du-ed a bill providing- that the state sluil' manufacture binding twine at the peritentiary using convict labor for the factory. He asks that $50.000 be ap propriated to equip a factory with nec essary machinery and that $150.000 be set aside for running expenses and operating expenses. This latter sum he would have spent for nothing but raw material and such help as is need ed outside of convicts. To secure this appropriation the bill authorizes the issuance of $200.000 in bonds , to run ten years , with an option of payment after two years , and to bear 3 per cent interest. The bonds are to be bought out of the permanent school fund , and the profits of the factory are to be used to wipe out the bond issue. The use of convict labor by the state itself instead of hiring them out. has been a ques tion of legislative debate for many The State Senate. The senate met Tuesday in the fore noon after a three-day adjournment o\er Sunday. Little was done other than to introduce new bills and have them read. Several ot these bills caused some interest. That of Senator Bartos of Saline county asking for a committee to consider the advisability of moving the state capital to Kear ney since the present capitol is too far east and the present building is in bad state of repair. He picks on Kear ney , not because it last session landed IL normal school , but because it is of ten spoken of as "the hub of the na tion. " His resolution went over one day under the rules , and will be con sidered if lie calls it up. Between them , Ollis of Valley and Donahoe of Holt worked out a revised primary law that will make politics un known in the race for certain offices , and will make all primaries open , elim inating the embarrassing situation of it a man having to state his politics be fore he can vote. . Xo discussions took place in the senate. Oratory is on the wane after the spasmodic effort of a week ago. * * * House Proceedings. The house met ofter the week-end YTujournment at 2:30 Tuesday and took up routine business. The bills intro l ! duced Friday morning were read the second time and referred. 1 Clark's two appropriation bills for the session , the one for $20,000 for in Bi cidental expenses and the other for $80,000.for salaries of members and employes , were taken up. They had by agreement never been referred to a committee , but had come up for third reading as soon as printed. Until these two bills , have been passed by both houses and signed by the governor it will be impossible for either members or employes to be paid , or to have incidental expenses settled. Neither bill received a negative vote in the house. In amounts they are the same as the appropriations made last ses sion. sion.Wilson Wilson moved that 1,000 copies of his banking bill be printed for distri bution. Already a resolution had been passed authorizing 500 copies of- the bill. He said that he had so many calls for the document that he feared they could not be supplied. Taylor ot Custer opposed , saying that particular attention would be given to two pledges of the party , the bank guaran ty. , and physical valuation of railroads. J5e understood that whatevel- bill was j&hally framed which had a chance of //passage would be the work of joint committee work. He did not think ' copies should be strewn .broadcast throughout the land until something more definite had been accomplished. Other members , both democratic and republican , favored the larger number printed , and the resolution passed. The G. A. R. post of Elm wood peti y tioned the legislature to loo& with fa vor on the bill to appiopriite funds for the erection of a monument to Abraham Lincoln. Thy pointed out in the memorial that they had sub "i scribed liberally and hoped the bill would receive favouble attention. The petition wns adopted as a resolution. All bills up to and including No. 91 were read the second time , sent to committees , and ordered printed. Twelve new bills were introduced and advanced to lirs-t reading. The house adjourned at 4 o'clock until Wednes day at 10 o'clock. Xo bills except the legislative appropriation have been read the third time , or have been re ported from committee. Clark of Rich ardson gave notice that he would ask to have an emergency bill just intro duced advanced to third reading and passage without waiting the three days or having it referred to a committee. He intimated that the emergency was great indeed. * * * It was a woman who first signed her name on the lobby record in the office of Secretary of State Junkin. Mrs. ranees B. Heatd , of Osceola , lobbying for the cause of "temperance and re form , " as shu puts it , was recorded 'Vednesday. She represents the. wom an's Christian Temperance union , which has headquarters in the Farm ers' Siiid Merchants' building in Lin- coir. . The ice having been broken by a woman , the register soon bore the names ot Edson iiich. attorney for the L'nion Pacific railroad , ana C. C. Wright , attorney for the Chicago and Northwestern road. The three are registered as required by the antilob- by law adopted by the last legislature. A 4 A Col. P. G. Cooper , , J. M. Brner , Rep resentatives Chase and J. E. Porter of Crawford ; Senator J. E. Meyers and Col. John ( . ; . "llaher called on Gen. Hartigan Wednesday and the claims of Cra\\ford for Uie next encampment of the Xational Guard. King of Polk ha's .introduced S. F. Xo. Hi I. This measure provides that in all cases where a person is con victed of a crime other than murder the district court before whom the trial is iuui shall make inquiry as to the age.helher or not this is the first olieiu-e. If , after full investigation , the judge believes that the one for uhich the defendant has been convict ed is the lir.st olt'eiuse and that no other crime will be committed , he may sus pend further proceedings and parole 01 * allow tiie defendant lii.s liberty on bail Irom t'-nii to term. The whole time of the parole. ho\e\er , must be as long as the maximum sentence provided for the crime of which defendant has been coin icted. At the end of this time the action against tin defendant may be dis missed. Shutiid the parole be violated or other crime committed the court ma\ order the real-rest of the offender ami hi. ; sentence may be pronounced by the court in v. hich he was found guilty. M * * Both houses of the legislature ad journed before noon Wednesday to rest up tor a trip to th state farm in the alternoon. They had been invited by the managers of'the faini. by the re gents and byV. . It. Mellor. secretary of the state board of agriculture to take the trip and see what they \\ere supporting with their good money lor the aid of agricultural communities. About 100 of the posMble 1X3 members of the t\\o houses availed themselves of the chance and took the trip. f. i : f Wilson's bill for testing those undei sentence of death to see if they may be insane , and providing the method of this examination directly affects the proceedings \\hen Curker. ofVeb - ster county , was tried for insanity in Lancaster county , and a dispute arose over \\ln > should pay the bill. Wilson's bill provides that the superintendents of the three asylums , Lincoln. Hastings and . \orfoll : . shall be the commission to examine into the canity of the con victed criminal. The cost of such ex amination is to be borne by the county in which the accused was tried and convicted. When Barker was tried on the insanity charge the trial took place in Lancaster county , although the con demned man was convicted in Webster county. Lancaster county had no par ticular interest in the case more than any other county in Which a crime had n < t been committed. * * Chief Clerk Cone , of the house , fail ed in obtaining cash from the state treasury to pay for stamps allowed daily by the house to representatives. He had obtained the consent of State Auditor liarton to draw a warrant for the money , but State Treasurer Brian said he never had and never would countersign a warrant on the state treasury when no appropriation had been made by the legislature back of it. The house provided for stamps by resolution , but a resolution does not suspend the constitution so far as the state treasurer is concerned. * * The senate listened with interest to the reading of .S. F. 131. by King , of Polk , a bill introduced for the pur pose of enforcing the Lincoln system of saloon regulation. "The bill makes it unlawful for any one to sell or give away intoxicating liquors between the hours of 7 p. in. and 7 a. m. . or any time on Sundays or election days , in cluding primai y elections. The pen alty is a fine of $100 or revocation of the saloon keepers' license. * * * Urown. of Lancaster , put in a bill providing an emergency appropriation for the ho ; ie for the friendless at Lin coln. He asked that $ -i , . " 00 be appro priated to run the institution unril April 1 is reached and the next bien- nium's appropriation is made. This bill is of the same nature as the one providing for appropriation for Gov. Shallenberger's office and mansion ex pense because the appropriation made to last through the biennium was well nigh exhausted when the new governor arrived to take his seat. Exclusive to the I.nnt. An instance of exclusiveness main * rained under difficulties is reported from the ladies' cabin of an Atlantic liner. All wore sick except one lady find a cat. which wandered uneasily about.

" IN IHE 1111 Cost of Alaintenzrtce $7 < iooo Out side of President Roosevelt's Salary. BILL WAS $10,000 IN 1885. Expenses of Chief Executive , Except Board Bill and Clothing- , Borne by the Government. Washington correspondence : VERY four years a "suggestion" origin- a t e s somewhere that the $ .10,000 per annum paid by Uncle Sam to the chief magistrate Is inadequate ; that the salary should be increased to $100,000. President Roosevelt , n o w to retire , advocates doubling the pres ent stipend. Will iam J. Bryan , who has had three shots at the White Hou e bull's-eye and missed them all , combating the Presi dent's view , declares that $ r > 0.000 a year is ample. The expenses attached to the White House have enormously increased dur ing the past twenty years , and perhaps the greatest increase ha * booh witness ed during the Roosevelt administra tion. By this is meant the expenses that Congress pays have jumped from $10.000 in ISSTi to $ : > 3.000 in 1000. ex clusive of an appropriation of $2f ,000 for traveling expenses. The total ex penses of the President's home and other expenses amount this year to $78.000. as compared with S10.COO in ISSo. This is in addition to the $30,000 salary. Prior to 1873 the salary of the Pres ident wts : $25.000 a year. It was in creased in that year. Andrew Johnson retired from the Presidency with a comfortable estate , and there was never a suspicion that ho made a dollar lar except legitimately , lie saved from his salary , which was only half of what William II. Taft will receive. Practically every expense , except his board bill and tailor , is borne by the government. For ordinary care , repair and furnishing at the White House and for the "purchase , maintenance and driving of horses and ve'iicies for official purposes" the sum of $33,000 was appropriated for the current fiscal year. This estimate is made for 1010. and in addition an estimate is made of $13.000 for interior decorations , etc. , which will be enjoyed by the Tafts. What the Government Furni.she.s. The government heats the White House at an annual cost of $ b'.000. It provides greenhouses at a cost of $0.000 a year , in addition ( o annual re pairs and improvements amounting frequently - quently to $ . " . .000 or $4.000 additional. It pays $23.000 for the traveling ex penses of the President , his family and any persons he may choose to take with him when ho travels about the country. It pays for the lighting of the White House and grounds , at an annual cost of about $20,000. a part of rhis money being taken from the revenues of the District of Columbia. The government pays the salaries of the President's secretaries , all the clerks ami White House officials. It pays the expenses of most of the house hold servants. In addition to the breakfasts , din ners and luncheons which come with daily regularity , the President gives about three state dinners in the course of the season , one each to the cabinet , Supreme Court and diplomatic corps , lie must pay for these dinners from his own pocket , and frequently is call ed npon for similar functions for the entertainment of distinguished guests of the nation. When a President leaves the White House and goes upon a journey all the expenses of the trip are paid from the traveling fund of $23.000. The Presi dent's only expense is the amount which he may give in tips. When a President has a summer home and spends part of the year away from the White House the expense which he must boar is necessarily increased. Other Onic-tnls' Pcr iii .ile.s. The Vice President receives SI2.000 a year , but practically no perquisites , not even house renl. The cabinet of ficers receive the same stipend , but they get carriages free and a few other minor perquisites. The Chief Justice of th'e Supreme Court receives $13.000 a year : the Speaker of the House $12.000 , together with mileage and the ustia'l perquisites of a Congressman. Byarefnl economy cabinet officers can live within their $12.000 a year , provided they do not engage ton ex pensive ? a house in Washington.

The lynching record for 100S shows that the practice of talcing summary of certain guilty vengeance on persons forms of crime is increasing rather than diminishing. The figures for the twelve months beginning Jan. 1 , 100S , are larger than for several years past. Thousu the most of the lynchiugs oc curred in the South , they were not con fined to that section by any means.
