County Option of Liquor Traffic Di
rect Primary Measure Changes In
the Revenue Laws New Apportion
ment of the State Districts.
Lincoln , Jnn. 24. Special to The
News : The landlord Hen bill wns de
feated In the house of representatives
hero this morning by nil overwhelm
ing vote.
The bill wns known ns house roll
No. 13 , nnd was Introduced by Repre
sentative Voter of Cedar county. It
was Intended to HCCIIIO the landlords
In their collection of lents from ten-
nuts and piovldcd for u Hen on the
crops 'to enforce the collection from
tenant farmers.
The state legislature Is now well
uniler way , with n number of Im
portant measures under consideration.
The number of bills , however , Is small
er than usual , Indicating that the mem
bers nio introducing only such as seem
to bo necessary , and are not Hooding
the state with trivial bills for purposes
of buncombe.
Some of the Important matters un
der consideration ate as follows : S.
P. 30 , by Shreck , piovldlng for county
option In the granting of saloon licens
es , so that all the voters of a county
mny vote on the establishing of n sa
loon in any part of the county. It Is
snid that the churches and temper
ance workers over the state have unit
ed In support of this bill.
H. 11. 7 , by Dodge , providing for
direct primaries , along the Hues of
the Wsconsln nnd Minnesota laws.
Also bills to the same effect by Sen
ator Cndy and Representative McMul-
len , these two being different from the
Dodge bill In that they provide for the
nomination of U. S. senator , and do
not provide for direct nomination of
state officials. They , with many other
members , argue that the important
thing Is the direct nomination of sen
ator. The Dodge bill omits that fea
ture.
II. R. 2 and 4 , providing for the elec
tion of precinct assessors. II. R. 12 ,
changing the assessment ratio to one-
third the actual valuation , H. R. 59 ,
providing for the ie-assessinent of real
property in 1905 , and several other bills
affecting the revenue law , none of
which have geneial support except
the one providing for additional power
in equalisation of the state board.
H. II. 49 , by Ernst , providing for a
binding twine factory at the peniten
tiary , and appropriating $45,000 for
the establishment and $50,000 for the
running expenses of the factory. This
proposition is attracting general at
tention , and a bill along the same line
will be pushed forward in the senate
by Cady , who thinks a committee
should investigate the woik of simi
lar factories in other btates. It is proposed -
posed to work the state prisoners thus
without competition with homo labor ,
and at the same time aim an effective
blow at the binding twine trust.
S. F. 19 , by Epperson , providing for
the detention and care of Inebriates
nnd morphine fiends at the Lincoln
asylum at the expense of the state.
S. F. 33 , by Griflin , piovidlng for the
election of prosecuting attorneys In
the judicial district to take the place
of county attorneys.
H. R. 18 , by Kyd , providing that all
bridges must be contracted on compet
itive bids , after the plans have been
given the utmost publicity.
II. R. 72 , by Casebeer , prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes and cigarette
paper.
The abo\e seem to be the bills on
subjects that are attracting the most
general attention. The direct primary
bills easily outrank the others in pub
lic discussion , and it is probable that
they will come up for early action in
both houses. There is also much talk
of new road laws , and it is certain that
some important measure on this sub
ject will get through.
The matter of a new apportionment
of the state is just now much dis
cussed. . The last apportionment was
made fifteen years ago. Now many of
the districts complain that they are
under-represented , and that some
counties in the older part of the state
are too well favored. The representa
tion in the house ranges all the way
from 1,300 votes per member in one
district up to C.OOO votes per member
in another district. Some of the sen
ators represent aa high as CO.OOO
apiece , while others range down ns
low as 18,000. The constitution re-
qulrea a ro-apportionment every flvo
years , but it has not been obeyed for
a number of sessions.

SEVEREST OF THE WINTER OVER
NORTM NEBRASKA.
WIND DRIVES IN CUTTING COLD
Houses are Chilly , Water Pipes Freeze
up and Ears and Noses are Nipped.
Highest Yesterday Was Three Be
low Zero.
Previous low records for the winter
In the temperature line wore equalled
eaily this morning when the govein-
ment thermometer dropped to n point
twenty-six degieen below zero , nnd
other recoids woio benton when the
maximum for a day proved to bo but
three below nnd whoii the barometer
ran up to 30.GC Inches high In UH tiny
tube. Thin Is the highest barometer
ever Known In Norfolk.
And though the minimum toiupcin-
turo was but twenty-six degioon below
/em , meioly equalling that of u few
weeks ago , the suffering was much
keener and much more Intense than
has been kno\\n bofoiu this season.
Coming after a week of mild wonthoi ,
In the llrst place , and coming , too
with a severely ntiong wind to drho
In the rhuiikH of filgldlty. the weather
went thinugh and through and human
Itv suffered exceedingly IIH a icmilt.
The thermometer diopped sixteen
degieesostorday , the minimum on
the day before having been but leu
degiees below /oro.
People who weie out early toda >
found their cars fast freezing If
allowed to remain In the open For but
n single minute. The frost today was
not driven by so floico n wind as last
night , but It wns just ns stinging and
podestilnns remained out of doors
only as long ns wns positively neces
sary.
The sun came out bright nnd yellow
but thnt had little effect upon the tem
perature. The snow still creaked In
n bitter wny under foot , wagon wheels
still crunched the fro/en rends ami
horses still ran with nervous , shiverIng -
Ing steps.
Houses Are Cold.
Houses were bitterly cold. No walls
seemed thick enough to successfully
withstand the piercing wind ami the
Intensely cold draughts that were
blown down from the northwest. Lit
tle brecres found their way through
the thickest brick barricades and
many a house let in so much air that
curtains were blown about Inside In
a small way.
Water pipes froze up and bursted
More susceptible to the freezing of a
windy wave than to the calm , dry cold
of n few weeks ago when the thermom
eter went to twenty-six below , the
pipes In many Instances found them-
sclve.s nil clogged up with Ice this
morning nnd faucets failed to bring
the supply that was needed.
Smoke from chimney tops this mornIng -
Ing curled up blue and In an unwarm-
Ing way , and from the volume of It
all it was evident that every furnace
in Norfolk was choking with all the
coal It could well contain , and that
every janitor was having the time of
his life trying to ward off the line of
tenants with cold feet.
The ice men say that the cold Is
maUing a commodity for them thnt
will sell next summer.
KOCH JUROR MAY BE ARRESTED
Defense Hears That He Made False
Statements While Qualifying.
New Ulm , Minn. , Jan. 25. One of
the jurymen In the Koch trial Is in
danger of being arrested for perjury
on the grounds that his statements
while qualifying as a juror , after being
challenged for actual bias , wore false.
The juryman , whose name Is with
held , was challenged for actual bias
by the defense. He then swore that
he had neither formed nor expressed
any opinion as to the guilt or inno
cence of the defendant. Upon this
testimony he was accepted as a juror.
But as soon as it was learned he
had been accepted , several persons
told the attorneys for the defense that
two or three nights before ho was
drawn as a juror , ho had engaged in a
heated argument at the Woodman
lodge over the Koch case. He main
tained that Koch was guilty , while the
other man said he was innocent. The
argument giew hot and came near end
ing in a serious quarrel.
Defense Aroused.
When the jury disagreed and the at
torneys for the defense reali/ed that
they were to face another trial , it was
decided that it would bo well to make
an example of this juryman so that in
the next trial no man who had been
so radical in his belief as to the guilt
or Innocence of Dr. Koch would have
the hardihood to attempt to get on the
jury. They at once ordered a trans
cript of his evidence , nnd if the re
ports of his dispute can be proved ,
they will ask that ho be arrested.
"I don't know who is worse , the man
who killed Dr. Gebhard or the man
who would perjure himself to get on
the jury to convict Dr. Koch because
of n pro-conceived Idea of his guilt , "
said W. D. Abbott , one of the attor
neys for the defense. "Wo have not
decided definitely to proceed against
this juryman , but wo must do some
thing to protect ourselves. "
Hearing on Ball Continued.
The arguments for ball for Dr. Koch ,
which were to have been heard today ,

If Dr , Koch wore n now member of
congress just taking bin neat , ho
would probably receive no moro

to bin cell todny by loving frlonilii.
Many of the latent mngnrlnos wore
