DE J MoiNEfl , Mnroh 11 , The beginning -
ginning of the end of the legislature
is at hand. The record already nindo
up is barren of results. Not-a store
of laws of a gonornl nature or of groal
value has boon enacted , while there is
an nbundanco of legalizing acts. Not
a single incasuro of any importance to
the great agricultural majority of the
people haa boon put into a law , The
moat prominent measure of this class
was that establishing a department of
industry , which would giro farmers a
representation among the several
branches of the state government , co
equal with the judicial , educational
and executive There was a universal
demand that tnis should bo , and
therefore two of the foremost farmers
in the senate , John Jlussoll , of Jones ,
and Pliny Nichols , of Muscatino , both
also well known as representative
jaon , prepared bills on the subject
early irt the session , since when they
have boon discussed and considered by
members of both houses. Unfortun
ately the senate committee on agricul
ture was made an unusually largo
body' , and in.it Wore sovorn' persons
of antodoluvian notions , ho wore
averse to progress. There were
enough of then to hinder and obstruct
the work of the others , so that it was
not until last Tuesday the bill came
up for action , and after prolonged
discussion it was defeated , most unox-
Soctodly , and it was supposed to bo
oad. But Tama Jim Wilson turned
up hero yesterday and made a quaking
among the dry bones. Ho , in polite
language , told the farmers of the leg
islature , who are in the majority , to
look ever the record of their
throe months' work ; that they
had bettor go to hades ( re
vised edition ) than go homo
without enacting a solitary law for the
good of farmers. They could do no
less than go to work and enact the
department of industry law , as some
compensation for raising the state tax
levy one-half mill , refusing to reduce
the rate bf interest , and voting nearly
one million dollars to state institu
tions. In fact ho sot thorn thinking ,
md to-day it is the general beliot the
bill will bo started again , this time in
the house , and pushed through. There
ta good assurance it will go.
The senate on Wednesday defeated
the semi-annual tax payment bill ,
per throe consecutive sessions this
measure has boon defeated in the sen
ate.
ate.For
For some cause , the lawyers have
comp to the conclusion that a poripa-
thotio supreme court is not of much
account , so they have decided to remove -
move the wheels from un'der It , and
Elant it to stay , at the capital. A
ill to this effect has passed the son
ata , which also requires the courts to
hold five terms . year , and eaoh term
to continue until all cases docketed
for the term are disposed of. If it
becomes n law , the court will com
mand the dignity duo to such a body ,
which it cannot now , itinerating about
the state to accommodate a few law
yers.
yers.For years there lias boon an outcry
among the farmers against the scarcity
of money and high rate of interest.
The other day a bill came before the
house to reduce the local rate of in
terest to 8 per cent. The committee
rocommondodits passage , and , strange
ly , the loading farmers on the floor
opposed the bill and it was defeated ,
on the sophistical ground that as the
law now is , money can bo borrowed at
8 per cant. , bat to reduce the legal
rate to that , and it will drive all the
money lenders out of the stato.
The house made short work of the
prohibition , amendment to the consti
tution. It was called up on Tuesday ,
and in eight rrinutos was adopted.

road has boon here several days look

which Charles McOluro , clerk of the
house railroad committee knocked so
suddenly in the head by a little stroke
of forgery. Whether it will rocqvor.
remains to bo soon , but the general
impression is that whatever may have
boon its merits , it is beyond hope
Leastwise it rests with the committee ,
and the committee will hardly roporl
it to the house until the conunittoo
appointed to investigate the fraud has
made their report. Should they re
port the act was only that of the jnato
cuaaodnesa of McOluro , it may appease
the house ,

The representative district bill in
creases the number of districts from
78 to 88 and makes an entire now deal
all round. Dubuque and Scott are
are each shorn of one representative ;
and given only two , while sovera'
other districts are reduced to ono. Of
course these counties all opposed the
bill , the increasing northwest was determined
tormined to bo represented and was
strong enough to enforce the claim.
The following is the apportionment on
a basis of 10,850 :
For the first time Audubon appears
as a representative district. After all
.ho districts had boon made up , there
was ono representative loft to bo pro
vided for , nnd the committee Rave
liim to Audubon county , although the
county was short nearly 1,000 in pop
ulation. The comnmtco also put Em-
mot county in bed with O'Brien and
Dickinson. She asked the house to
ptit her- back in the old district ,
whicH was done. Throughltho night ,
after the passage of this bill , Dubuque ,
Bcott , MahasknVapollo and other
shorn counties , * nursed their wrath ,
and the next morning made an effort
to reconsider the bill , on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. The
debate developed unusual interest by
the democrats in the matter , so the
majority decided not to reconsider.
It is probable an ollbrt will b" made
to change the bill in the senate , but
legislative courtesy would hardly per
mit it , as the house passed the sena
torial bill as it catr.o from the senate.
Representatives Pioklor , Holmes
and Davids have been appointed by the
house to prepare a bill providing for
the education of Kate Shelley , the
Boone heroine , at some of the state
institutions at the expense of the
ntato. She can\ostly desires to got
an education ; and she ought to have
it , though she is poor , as she has to
help her widowed mother support the
family , beside herself. It ia reported
a prominent millionaire at the east
has said if lie could bo assured her
reported act of heroism was true ho
would provide her liberal support and
the best education that money .could
secure.
The appropriation bills came up in
the house yesterday and as reported
by the committee are as follows :
Institute for feeble minded chil
dren . 8 51000
Soldiers' orphans' home . 10,200
Deaf and dumb Institute . 10,300
Qlrli' reform school . ' , . 0,500

Normal school. , , , . , , . . . 49,000
New capltol . , . . 528,000
Vlah cumulaslon . . , . . , , , . . . . 5OOQ
All but the last three wcro passed
without opposition , nxcopt that for
the agricultural college , which created
a loner discussion , several members
opposing any appropriation at all.
These are liberal appropriations , and
to moot the expenses the state tax
levy will bo raised one-half mill for
the next two years.
A joint resolution will bo sent to
congress asking that the attorney gen
eral of the United States be instructed
to commence suit to sot aside all re
issues of barbed wire patents. This
will at once settle the title of Wash-
burne , Hoen & Co. to patents they
claim. It is understood the attorney
general is in favor of this plan , and if
authorized will push the suits through
iu the interests of the people of the
west , and it will save a vant amount
of litigation in the several states. A
letter was road from him-in the house
yesterday on the subject , which give
promise that congress would at once
grant the petition of the legislature.

A CLOSE CALL.
A Bullet Sent Whizzing To <
wards JohnSwabe's
Head.
The Shooter Allowed to Cool Off In
, Jail.
John Swabo , who keeps n saloon on
upper Broadway , had a narrow escape
from getting a bullet fairly lodged in
his head. A young man named Fan
ny Woods , who has boon tending bar
in McCarthy's saloon , was a little full
and in his perambulations struck
Swabo's plnco and there raised n dis
turbance , when Swabo proceeded to
throw him out the front dcor. Woods
immediately pulled a revolver and
fired at Swabo. The latter stood just
inside the duor and the bullet
lodged in the edge of the casement
close to the glass , and at just the
height of Swabo's head. Had it gone
an eighth of an inch to ono side the
bullet would have lodged squarely in
his cranium. Woods was promptly
arrested by Officer Sid Stonling , and
on boint ; nabbed throw his revolver
down , and submitted. On being
searched n dt'rk knife was also found
on his person. Justice Abbott issued
nn arrant for assault with intent to
murder , nnd the young man was com
mitted to the county jail.
THE BRIDOK BILL.
It Has Boon Drown Up Beady for the
Committees to Consider.
The joint committees of the two
cities , and the incorporates named
are expected to moot in Omaha next
Wednesday afternoon to consider the
bill proposed to bo introduced into
congress for the building of a wagon
bridge across the river. The bill has
been drawn up and provides simply
for a wagon bridge , without any refer
ence to having it used for railroad pur
poses. The bill provides that incor-
poratora shall open books for sub
scription and when on amount
sufficiently in their judgement to
warrant proceedings with the enter
prise , they shall call a meeting of the
stockholders , who shall proceed to
elect a president , vice president , sec
retary and treasurer. The last two
named officers are to give bonds.
The bill provides for either n low
bridge or a high bridge , as the stock
holders may decide ; certain conditions
ind specifications are attached to each.
When it is decided which it is best to
build , the plans and specifications are
to bo filed with the secretary of war ,
and to bo subjected to his approval.
The bill further provides for the
condemning of such land
as may bo needed for the
securing of'proper approaches , the con
demnations on the western side being
under the laws of Nebraska , and the
others under the laws of Iowa. The
bill also provides that the company
may establish offices in Council Blufla
or Omaha or both.
The toll to bo charged Is for thn
present left blank that being a mat
ter to bo decided upon hereafter.
Such is the general outline of the bill
which the committees and incorp"pra-
tors will bo called upon ID consider
next Wednesday.
