A Honeymoon Having a Dark as
well as a Bright Side ,
The Vicissitudes of the Mar
ried Life ot an Omaha
Couple.
In making his regular round yes
terday our reporter dropped , on an
interesting item , at the marshal's
office , of the kind seldom furnished tea
a reporter anywhere in 'the United
States , although not EO nnusual as to
be very sensational.
In Marshal Westerdahl's office evt a
youthful couple whom the officer
Introduced as Mr. Fnd Mrs. George
W. Green. The lady was a brunette ,
very neatly dressed , with clear cut
features and decidedly good-looking.
She was apparently about twenty-Svo
years of agoand undoubtedly had not
a drop of the blocd of Ham flowing in
her veins. Her companion was a young
mulatto of medium height , well-dress
ed , and both intelligent and respecta
ble looking.
Inquiry developed the fact that
they had been married on the evening
of St. Talentine's day , t Red Oak ,
Iowa , by a justice of the peace , named
French , whose name was duly
appended to the certificate of
marriage which the bride produced ,
and from which it appeared that the
latters nama was Maria
Wolfe. The parties are detained
in custody by the authorities , in re-
spouse to a telegram from Bed Oik ,
Iowa , which Is the home of the bride's
parents , her father being a carpenter
by trade. A telephone message to ar
rest the bride was receivod'from Coun
cil Bluffo Tuesday , fcbat was not acted
upon , as it was not explicit. It appears
that the husband is not wanted , but
the wife ia claimed by her parents on
the ground that she was not "of age'1
whan the ceremony was performed.
Mrs. Green save that she was born
In 1861 , as the family bible will show
and that the justice who married
her has known her all all her life.
She claims that up to three years ago
she lived at home and was of good
repute , .but that sao had to go out
and work , and her wages wore taken
by her father for drink , which would
result in the children being turned out
of doors. Atlength , driven to dea-
peration , she leit homo , and supported
herself in a manner to which many
young girls resort under similar cir
cumstances. Sha was known in
Omaha as Jennie Smith , end
while hero made .the acquaintance of
Green , who is only twenty-two yearn
old , and Is employed at the Withnell
House.
A short time ago they made a tri ]
to Red Oak , where the lover viaited
her at her sister's house , and th
bride s ya was treated like a brother ,
On Sunday th'py returned to the
same place , and on Monday
evening were married aa stated. Mrs
Green says her sister remonstrated
with her for marrying a colored man
right nnderthe family's collective nose
and said she ought to have been mar
tied elsewhere , bat did not seem to
have any objection to the match as
not being a good one.
On the wedding night the house in
which it was supposed they were step
ping , was "pulled' ' by the polie and
everybody taken beforethepolice oourt
except the parties wanted who took the
hint and also took the train for Conn
cil Bluffu , where paoplo are not so
sensitive. A telegram was sent after
them and they crossed the line and
got out of the state as quickly aa possi
ble.
ble.The
The only complaint made seems to
be the bride's minority , and whether
the marriage is a violation of the laws
of that sta e we do notHmow. Mrs.
Green said that her father had no
money to jprcsecute the latter case ,
and that ahe had been obliged to rus
tlu for herself so long that he hac
no legal eliim upon her in
any case. She also added that he hac
not spoken to her but once in the pas
nine months , and that on that creep
tional occasion sao met him on the
street , and , having in her posession
a bottle of whisky ( procured of course
for medical purposes ) , she asked him
to take a drink , and the invitation was
not refused.
The marshal telegraphed yester
day for further instructions in the
matter and was awaiting the receipt ol
an answer before taking any fjnal ac
tion in their case.

The Highly Successful Result
of Prof. Meesirs' Work.
Pursuant to appointment , and des
pite the inclemency of the weather ,
the pupils of the Saratoga Sund&y
school , gave their exhibition for the
benefit of their school Tuesday even
ng.1
This entertainment , preparations
for which was in progress for some
weeks previous , has been looked for
ward to with a great deal of solicitude
nud interest by the participants , their
parents , and friends , and it is safe to
say that none were disappointed.
Promptly at the appointed time the
curtain of the stage rolled away , and
from that time to the close , the enter
tainment progressed without mistake
or balk , the audience giving expression
to their "satisfaction and pleasure by
repeated and continued applause.
It is due to Mr. Messier to say of
him that aside from bestowing a per *
manent and lasting benefit upan the
community and each of the pupils who
have been under his care in preparing
for this occasion , he displayed an en
ergy and skill in this direction
which merited for him universal ad
miration and endorsement , both by
his pupile , who personally thowed
him the most implicit obedience and
deepest respect , and by the audience ,
who gave him a unanimous and hearty
vote of thanks and congratulations
upon his success.
For nearly all of the pupils
taking a part in the entertainment , it
was the first appearance before the
public. - They are all young ; all of
thorn , with one or two exceptions ,
still being in childhood. The time
for their preparation had been short ;
the weather had been unfavorable , yet
throughout the entire entertainment ,
without one exception , they did thorn-
solves proud. Child-like earnestness
and simplicity being one of the pleasing -
ing and attractive features of the
whola affair.
For their excellence and attention
Mr. Messlr presented the class with
three beautiful medals , which was
highly appreciated by them.
Hero around the altarjofjtheir Sunday
school hsd gathered the children of
the community , as perhaps they gath
er in no other capacity. They came
without regard to ago , BOX or color ,
and not ono that did not highly ap
preciate the whole.
The Ninth Infantry band furnished
tha muelc. It la needless to say any-
thin ? in regard to the music. The
band furnishes its own recommenda
tion , in the grand , sweet strains of itd
own production. They were among
the moat attractive features of the on-
tertainmsnt. "They had the hearty
thanks of tha audience , and of Mr.
Mlssier and hia pupils.
After the entertainment had closed
I they were cordially entertained at thr.
residence of Mr. W. H. Lawton ,
where also a highly appreciated supper
was served them , by way of compli
ment and regard for their free con
tribution of excellent music. This
affair resulted , besides affording a
goodly amount of amusemant , in a
good , round sum of money for the
Sunday school at thla place.
The verdict for the class , of all
known to the proceedings of the
evenlne Is , "excellent , " and the uni
versal sentiment tc Mr. Measir for his
pains and trouble ia , "Well done ,
good and faithful servant. " *

Now , during the nine years that I

lenge you to .produce any evidence
that I have ever wronged a single in

always paid my creditors a hundred

EXTRA SESSION.
Special Correspondence of The Bee.
LINCOLN , February 14. the grea'
mountain of bills that has loomed up
in the house , embracing many very
important measures , and the fact tha
there remains hut twelve days in
which to level this mountain , has
given origin to considerable specula
tion as to an extra session. I havi
taken some pains to ascertain the sen
timent of the house on this question
Among the measures that almost de
mand decisive action , are those for
congressional , judicial and legislativi
apportionment , and aome railroad leg
islation. Liquor prohibition ant
women suffrage are receiving , am
will continue to receive , considorabl
attention. The various appropria
lions for state improvements have ye
to be voted , and the committee
appointed to visit the severa
atate institutions have not had tim
( nor would the weather permit ) to
make their visits , with the exception
of a visit to the deaf and dumb insti
tution at Omaha. I asked Speake
Shedd his opinion in the promises
He thinks there is little doubt tha
the governor will call an extra session
directly upon the heels of this one , fo
it was simply impossible to get throug ]
with the necessary legislation in
twelve days.
PERQUISITES.
The following notice was nerved thi
marning , and creates no little conater
nation among the officers :
LINCOLN , Neb. , Feb. 14,1881.
Hon. O. M. Bart'ett , State Treasurer :
SIR. You ara hereby notified tha
the legislature of this state has not the
power to appropriate any part of the
public fund to pay for perquisites for
the members or employees thereof
also that the act which purports ta appropriate
propriato 818,000 for incidental ex
penses of the present session of thi
legislature , includes in such so-callec
expenses , postage , postage-stamps
postal wrappers and newspapers nn
lawfully furnished to members of th
present legislature , and ia , to the ex
tent of such appropriation for postage
postage-stamps , wrappers and newspa
pera , unconstitutional and unauthorlz
ed , and will afford you no protection
in the payment of such part of sai (
appropriation. The exact amount o
said appropriation that is unlawfu
con be ascertained from the secretar ;
of state , by whom said perquisite ;
were furnished. As a tax-payer o
this state , and in the name of all other
tax-payers of this state , I hereby pro
test against the payment of such so
called expenses. If yon disregard this
protest you do so at your own risk
and peril. JOHN D. HOWE.
HOUSE.
Mr. Root , of Cass , offered a resolu
tion to confine speeches on any ques
tion to fifteen minutes.
Mr Ransom , of Otoe , objected. He
thought it was offered to cut off debate
on the prohibitory amendment bill.
Mr. B/sot replied that he deslroc
the rnl * to apply in all cases.
Mr. Bartlett , of Douglas , hoped the
resolution would not prevail. Sevora
gentlemen on one side of this ques
tion had relieved themselves to their
heart's content and it was unfair to
throttle those of the other side. I
was a question of great importance
both to the state and manufacturing
interests. He moved the ruanlutloi
be laid upon the table , which was car
ried.
ried.The
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole to consider the pro
hibitory bill ,
Mr. Hansom made the closing argn-
mont on the adoption of his amend
ment to provide for indemnity to own
ers of property used in the manufac
tnre of liquor , where the state prohib
ited the same. The * argument was
very forcible. He sought to sustain
the one proposition that the conatitu
tlcn did not sanction the taking away
of a man's property and business with
out allowing indemnit > therefor. He
ventilated Ex-Chief Justice Maaon's
decisions on this question in years
past. He said , out of twenty six de
cisions only eighteen were sustained
by a higher court He appsaled to
the conscience of the house , and hoped
that every member would votd accord
ing to his judgment of right.
Mr. Root , of Oass , asked for tha
reading of the amendment , which was
done.
The vote was then taken on Mr.
Ransom's amendment , which stood 40
to 28 against its adoption. The ver
diet was greeted with loud applause ,
which provoked the chair to say that
if the galleries didn't keep still , he'd
put 'em out.
A.messaga from the governor was
then read by Mr. Fleharty , of the ex
ecutive office , to the effect that house
rolls 3 , 14 and 15 had been signed by
His Excellency.
Mr. Howe , of Nemaha , moved that
when the committee arise it be in
structed to report house roll 85 back
to the house with the recommendation
that it do pass.
Mr. Holman , of Dakota , objected.
Ho did not see any rules which pre
vented other amendments being of
fered to the bill under consideration.
He resisted the attempt to- gag the
minority on this question.
I inadvertantly omitted Gen . Hoi-
man's speech in favor of Ransom's
amendment , which ho delivered Sat
urday. Ho made a strong appeal to
the house to beware of trifling wita
the individual rights of citisians.
Mr. Howe withdrew his motion
with the consent of his second.
Mr. Whedon , of Lancaster , said :
"Section one of this bill reads : The
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor is forever prohibited within
tbis state except for mechanical , medi
cal and scientific purposes [ and the
legislature shall provide for the en
forcement of this section by enacting
suitable laws with sufficient penalties. ]
He wanted the latter part of the sec
tion ( which I have enclosed in
brackets ) stricken out , but upon put
ting it to a vote the motion waa lost.
The committee then rose and the house
adjourned. Thus as I predicted no
vote will bo made on this bill until
Jackson's highlicense bill comes up
to-morrorr and shall have been dis
posed of.
The Herald correspondent says in
atoleramof February 12th that Sen
ator Howe introduced a bill for a lev ?
of taxes to pay for the sewerage al
ready built. This ia a mis take. The
bill waa introduced by Senator
Doano.
HO MORE WHISKY.
Special Correspondence of Tin Bil.
LINCOLN , February 15. In the ;
house this morning Mr. Howe of Ne-
nubs , moved that house roll 85 ( the
prohibitory amendment ) be engrossed
for third readiner.
Mr. Ransom , of Otoe , amended by
not having it engrossed , but recom
mended to the committee of the
whole. He opposed iha movemen
to apply the gag-law upon the minor
ity in this bill. Only one section o :
the bill had been considered. No bil
heretofore had been ordered en
grossed until every section had been
considered.
Mr. Bartlett , of Douglas : " I am
in favor of the amendment of the
gentleman from Otoe. I have bedn ,
upon principle , in favor of submitting
this question to the people , because ,
as a lawyer and citizan , I could not
see.how a man can consistently take
the question away from the fountainhead -
head of law and authority. This la
my position , and if the people desire
to express themselves upon a qnetiion
of Kthis kind or any other question
let thorn do so. . tie long as there Is
an attempt to gag memberp , or an at
tempt to pass a bill here in this man
ner , I give due notice that I shal
loudly protest. "
The "previous question" ( that o
Mr. Howe ) was thea called fcr am
carried. Thus all debate on the bil
was shut off , and it yet only require
to be voted upon.
A DYING KICK.
Mr. Kyner , of Douglas , wanted to
say as a republican boru in Ohio ; as a
soldier having left a leg on the battle
field of Shiloh ; and as a consistent
republican to-day that he was ashamec
of the republican vote of this logiala
ture. " I want the privilege allowe
me of recording the names of severa
of thete gentlemen in my little mem
orandnm book. "
Mr. Silver , of Gage , also attomptec
to protest , but Borne one said kicking
was out of order , and he wilted.
THE SOULLESS CORPORATIONS.
Mr. Jensen , of Butler , offered a
resolution requiring that all bilh re
ported by the railroad committee up to
date be made a special order for 3:30 :
o'clock p. m. Wednesday , February
16th.
16th.Mr.
Mr. Oorrell , ot Thayer , though
every bill should take its regular
order.
Mr. Case , of Clay , said it was for the
house to say what bills should be con
sidered and at what time. The ques
tion was : Is this house so organize
thkt it is r eady to discuss the ruilroac
question 1 It was tlmo fo ; the mem
hers to come to some conclusion in
the matter. "If we can afford to
give four er five days to the liquor
question , we can afford to give the
balance of the session to the railroac
question. "
Mr. Mullen , of Douglas , movei
that the resolution be laid upon the
table.
The aysa end uays were demanded
Mr. Abbott , of Lancaster was In
favor of laying the resolution on the
table until all the railroad bllli hae
been reported on. He therefore votec
"yes. "
Mr. BroatchjOf Douglas , concurred *
Mr. Kynor , of Douglas , believei
that any more railroad legislation
would cripple the atate. The presan
state of affairs could not be improve !
npon. He was ready to put himaol
on record , and would vote according
to the dictate of his own conscience
He votes " aye. "
The motion to lay upon the tabl
wau lost , and the clerk read the orig
inal resolution of Mr. Jens in.
Mr. Slocum , of Jefferson , amend
ed , by including all railroad bills re
ported by any committee.
The resolution was adopted as
amended.
Among the bills introduced one
provides for the pioper representation
of Nebraska at the New York exposi
tion of 1883 ; another provides for an
appropriation to build a wing to the
insane asylum ; and another to create
a board of immigration.
Speaker Sbedd said that It had be
come necessary for him to take a
short leave , and he wanted tha con
sideration of the uigh'licenso bill peat
poned , as he deaired very much to
hear the case discussed. The house
postponed the same until Friday af-
tornoon.
Directly after the noon hour the
house went into committee of the
whule , Mr. McShane , of Douglas , in
the char.
The most important bills considered
by it were the medical bills one to
legalize dissecting under certain con
ditions , and the other to exclude quack
doctors from the state. Quite an ex
tended discussion was indulged in on
the bills. Mr. Shlck , of Nemaha , of
fercd an amendment to a section o :
the latter bill making the fee of a phy
sician not more than one dollar a vis
it , and half n dollar per mile extra for
visits into the country. A penalty of

! t is easy to see how the Union Pacific
m got ita work in upon the make np
of the majority roporN
The senate this af rrnor ; , In com
mittee of the wholo.Ttithout a dissent-
ng vote , recommended the passage of
Senator Wolla' bill , S F. 52 , to pro-
libit any railroad company or corpora-
ion In the state from cnTging1 more
ban three ceiuu a mild for ono person
nd one hundred pounds of baggage.
Hiera was considerable surprise
among the friends of the bill that tho-
vote proved ro unanimous. It is ac-
redited to tha fact thnt the'opposi-
ion was so weak that they deemed it
idviiable to make a clean sweep of
lie matter.
The special committee appointed by
the senate to investigate the letting
of the printing contract ia pushing Ita
investigations in a way that bids fait to
knock out several plate glasa windows
from the new Journal building. The
Omaha Herald will bo called npon to
explain certain matters , and will
doubtless find it necessary to wash
their rollers.
The committee ot the whole recom
mended the passage of Senator Bal-
lentine's bill to limit the charges of
Pullman palace or sleeping -cars to
one-half cent per mile.
LEGISLATIVE 1ACOHICS.

40 to-day , for the repeal of section 39
of an act to provide a system ef rev
enue , passed In 1879.
Kyner , in the discussion on the bill
to paralyze quacks , pronounced it ma-
teria medy-ca. Smiles.
In the discussion of the bill" to pro
vide for the free passage of fish In
Nebraska waters , one member favored
the measure because he had heard
that fish were good brain food , and ;
npon looking over the bald-heads in
the house , he had concluded that none
of them ace enough fish.
The total amount of appropriations
recommended by the appropriations
committee is about $500,000
The house committee on the state
penitentiary , of which Mr. Bailey , o !
