Thu house wiis continually leaving off of appropriation bills Items necessary for the currying on of tlic departments or items which wcro obviously correct and proper. If such items were added by thu scimto.clinr'-cs of extravagance would be niaelu aguinst It by the house and elaborate tables uml memoranda ho got up ut the enil of the session to show that thu ex travagance existed in the senate and not in tlio house. Such a state of thin- * * Wits intolerable erable and the sunnto committee on appro priations liiul thought It proper not to supply omissions of thu house but to leave to the house tlio full responsibility for not making necessary and proper appropriations. It was for the senate to decide- whether , under nil the conditions nnd circumstances , items which should be appropriated for , itnel speeelily would ho put In this bill. Finally , after debate , the amendment was agreed to , Mr. Halo offered nn nmenelment tipprnprl uliiiK $21)1,101 ) to complete- the construction and armament of the three steel cruisers , the Chicago , Hoston anel Atlanta. A Ion- ; discussion ensued , Mr. Hale defending hi ? action in offering the amendments on the grounel that the senate hnel just overruled the position which the appropriation commit tea had taken on the subject , not to aihl unj items to tin ; hill us It came from the house oil the ground that tlio secretary had not statee : that the appropriation was absolutely needed Mr. Allison , chairman of the committee or appropriations , made a long speech in con trudlction of the statement made in thu house to the effect that the failure of the state incut bill last session was owing to delays It : the senate and to tlio senate havhifr put upoi the bill amendments which the hduso coule not assent to. Mr. Hutlcr asked Mr. Allison what tin committee on appropriations desired the sen ntu to do in the matter. Mr. Allison I will tell you what I propose to do. I shall vote against the iimemlmcn offered hv the senator freitn Maine , althoug ) I should bo glad to vote for it under othei circumstances. I shall also vote against UK proposition lo insert an item for a tunnel t ( increase the Washington water supply , al though I believe that is the most pressiiu public service ) for which money can bo tip preprinted at the present time. I have sail this much for tlio purpose of showing to tin Bcnato and to tlio people elsewhere who tnnj bo interested In the subject , that this bill ii not before the senate now 01 account of any fault in the son nto ; that it is hero because last year Itwtu deluycd elsewhere until it was Impossible tx have passed It intohuv : and that wherove : or 'whcnesovcr comes the statement "Unit thi bill failed last'year because of the conduct o the senate I repel It' add deny that the senati Was in any sense responsible. Mr. Heck said since the debate began hi had , taken pulns to Inquire nnd had asccr tulued that another deficiency bill , contain ing all the important items of appropriation would bo before the senate within u wool from this timo. Mr. Halo withdrew his amendment. Mr. Kvarts moved to strike out of tin item $500,000 for the payment of duties nni imports collected , thu provisions limiting th rateof interest thereon to 3 per cent. Ue jcctcd. Mr. Evarts then moved to add to th < proviso the words , "Hut this nmendmen shall not effect existing suits or demands. ' Agreed to.

SOUTH OMAHA'S ' TROUBLES , A Lively Tlmo nt tlio Invostlgntlon of Lqpfechor. _ -f y - LONG TALKS V ATTORNEYS. JO' 1 The Conclusion I'lnhlly llcnolictl Thnt the Councllnm'iihnll ' Uo I'lib- lluly Censwrcj-'i ; ' ' Contliict Unbecoming Mis Position. Councilman. I.eiescher Investigated. There wat an air of subdued dignity about the South Omaha councilmcn , ns one after another they dropped Into the cellar that nt present is doing duty ns a council chamber , nnd to'ok their plades In the stilt wooden chairs that were ranged along the walls. The quietness , though somewhat unusual , was quite becoming , und tvns no doubt caused by the fact that two leading legal lights were present ope Charles Ogden , appeared to de fend Councilman Loescher from the charge of bribery ; nnd the other Deputy County At torney Edgcrton , who wns present to conduct the Investigation. It was nearly 8 o'clock ' when all the members , except Councilman Whlttlesey , wcro on hand and meekly answered to the roll call of the clerk. "Is this to be an open or close session ! " asked one member. "Let it bo open , " said Councilman Lees cher , and open it was. Councilman Geary was appointed chairman pro tern , and ns City Attorney Grico was ab sent a messenger was dispatched to find him , and after a solemn silence of u few minutes Councilman Smith reported that a member of the police force was lying seriously ill in St. Joseph's hospital , and that as the treasury was about empty the proper thing to do was for each member to "go down" und make up a purse. Heforo any action was taken Attor ney Grico came in , and as he was suffering from u severe cold , Attorney Edgcrton was deputed to take his place. Dy permission ot tlio chairman , Attorney Ogden took the floor and claimed that , as ho had -read the charges against his client , they were somewhat indefinite , und that if ho was only accused of taking money on election day , there was no bribery in that. "It is done at every election in Omaha , and If it Is a crime ) to accept It , Pat Ford und many another of Omaha's poli ticians would have been In the penitentiary long iigo. It. is all right to receive money so long as you don't bribe n voter with it. " If the testimony went to show that money had been recelveel by Councilman Looschcr to in fluence his action us a councilman , it would bo quite different from the charge of merely taking It for services rendered on election day and would bo a serious matter. Attorney Edgcrton pointed out , In reply , that Councilman Loescher had made an opeu light against both tlio projected lines of street railway , that ho was ehargeel with having recived money and nt once commenced tc work for them ; that us a councilman ho had considerable inlluene-e with his constituents , und that it was thus that councilmanic inllu encc had been bought and paid for by the money in question.'Up - thought this was borne out by the fact thti't Loeschcr , at the close of u council meeting , had told n fellow councilman , "There's money In it if its handled ' ' dled right. " , ' , Councilman Loeschejr. was then called It his own behalf , and on being sworn said thai he had resided in Nebraska for about three years , anel that ho was elected a member ol tlio council April 5 , 18 7'j that ho had novel recclveel any money utAlhy time to influence his vote in tlio council ; tout that Ed Johnson had paid him about ? H Tor peddling ticket ! on election day. Ho thought the story hat originated in the fact } lut ) ho had purchase ! u new buggy , und had'1 ' J6kingly said "yor1 when asked if it had. been bousht witl motor line money. . . ' At first ho hae worked against the me or line because lit thought the company w/ts / trying to steal the city territory , and against the South Omahi Street railway because.ht ) thought it was i fraud. When ha saw.tlio , .other councilmci working for the lines IIQ thBught ho might ni well elo tlio same. Ho ndhiltted that a mai naineel Smith had put some money in hi : pocket on election'day In payment of a $4 ac e-ouiit , but did not recollect whether ho hae told anyone it wns $ ' - > i ) , or ? ( > 0 or $ ( i5. Ed Johnston was then called and said lie was interested for not in tlio motoi line at the election mentioned. Al no time-did ho give Councilman Loescher anj money to influence his vote in the council Ho had given him cither ? 20 or $25 to worl for him as a citizen , but not as n councilman This brought the evidence to a close am Attorney Edgcrton spoke on the definition o bribery as given in section 175 , criminal code He considered the charge 'made to bo full ; sustained , and referred to the suddci "change of heart" that followed the rcceip of tlio fc-U Attorney Ogden made u lengthy replh which he repeated the argument given in hi' ' opening addrctt , nnd claimed , that so long a : the money had not been received for the pur pose of influencing hit vote us a councilman tlio charge fell to thu ground. Everyone , except the members of tin council , was then requestcel to leave tin room , and the marshal went on n still him after the reporters. He located and cjcctei two and once mores quietness reigned , bus ! ness being susemled for a few minutes unti some of the anti-prohibition members cunn back from the nearest restaurant. Thei each member was asked for an expression o opinion. Otic called attention to the differ cnco iu the sworn statements of Councilmai Loeschor that night and the previous week another noted that Loeschcr claimed to have received only * 10. while Johnson swore t < ? 2 ( ) ; another said if ho was not guilty of brib cry ho was of perjury , nnd if Loeschcr re maiued in the council ho would resign. An other thought that it was very clear ho wa guilty of the crime at charged , am another thought from' tlio way he had givci liis evidence it "looked bad. " Then came the question as to what shouli they do , and it was moved that Loeseho should bo severely censured in the ope : council , and that the record of the cas should bo placed in the hands of the count , attorney. This vote was by ballot and re suited in six voting in favor of it and on voting against it. Then an open vote wa taken , and there was a unanimou vote iu favor of finding that "frot liis own testimony and oilier evidence , thi committee of the whole believes that th charges against Councilman Loeschcr hav been sustained , and that at tlio next meet in of the e-ouncil ho ho severely ( -ensured fo conduct unbecoming a councilman. Tlio committee then rose , Marshal Mi Crackin'put out the lights und locked th door , and the reporter came fjack and too notes. _ THE COUNTY COMMISSIONKIIS.

I don't object to the occasional use of an oxpi-essive piece of slang.

" Not long after this the reporter hup- ) oned to bo passing a school house at ecess. A group of girls from elovan to sixteen wore standing in front of one of these small confectionery stores which ire found near every public school. A ittle miss of twelve or thereabouts with i face like an angel and u voice like rippling water , said : He's a la-la , and don't let it slipyour nomory.

" This was the more intelligible part of , t there were scores of words even the iiirdened reporter did not comprehend , tnd the possibility of whoso meaning nude him shudder to think of. In some of the binderies down town whore girls nro employed , the speech is so conlam- nuted by the slang of the slums , earned from the young fellows who work with them , that .sometimes the conversation is awful to listen to. Hut slang , as was intimated in the first of , his article , is not confined to the miel- llo or lower walks of life , but it is in frequent use in that umlefinablo world embraced in the word "society. " There is i fashionable academy for young ladies lot far from Ashland avenue , the mis- , resso [ which wus horrified to discover , liat the pupils wcro conversing with each other in a language that , &o far as she was concerned , dolled tianslation She was dismayed to iind it was u code of slang invented by u no less distin guished philological authority thun "Blinkoy" Morgan during his recent service nt the state institution in Co- iutnbus , O. Some years ago the pupils at another seminary , also on the west side , indulged in what wa ? known as Mt.dison street Greek. Two of the girls might bo riding in a street car , when one , looking at a man on the opposite seat , would exclaim to the other girl : " the udc-day. " "Ht-gay on gayoo-tap The young man hearing this might think she was making a rumarlc in Cop tic or Hindustani to her friend , whereas she said : "Got on to the dude ! " Her companion would reply : "I'll ga ash-may im-hay. " "Which wus nothing else than a declaration that she intended to mash the dude aforesaid. One day the girls in the astronomy class were ad dressed by a young professor introduced by the spinster at the head of the school , During a temporary absence of the latter a Monroe street miss whispered loudly to a companion : "F/s-pay h-nay ood-gay.

IX,000 ( ) busliels at onetime time this morning the force of the rumor wus broken. It was thought that Cuelahy hud boon buying nuideratoly , but the amount of his purchases compared with the quantity of short wheat ho was supposed to hnvo out win Insignificant. At first , l > wover , the facts mentioned wcro sulllelent to create a demand from the smaller shorts and prices advanced. Hut when these wore. sat tailed It wus n dull market , with only a moderate amount of business coming from the outsldo and with out a tendency cither way. Later the decline - . cline appeared to bo brought about by the break In pork. With recent cxDoricnccs fresh In mind , wheat tratlors were looking for another raid on pork by the bear combination and another consequent break in wheat. Accordingly the local trad ers turned sellers iigaln and down wont the price. Instead of the o.\pected raid In pork the originators of the last raid wcro busy covering their shorts on the decline nnd there were several there , but wheat did not follow and closed within 'ff ' of the bottom price of the session. May wheat opened at MJc , which WHSff ( - J4 higher thmi last nlght'a close , and sold up to S'J dfSc , hold above We for some time , then fell to Hlffc , and closed at 1 o'clock at Sl"o.

Tnci o appeared to bo a considerable number of buy ing orders on the Iloor for country account at the opening of the session , and the market , being relieved of the pressure of long corn which had been coming out for a day or two , showed life and strength. When these de mands were sat tailed , however , 1.01110 heavy selling by professionals sent prices down again. May corn opened at lWfrfr ; ) ( > 2.J < o1 which was ' ( .C' c higher limn lust night's close , and soon advanced to ftllc.

[ Special Telegram to the DKEJCATTM : To-day the run was sur prisingly light and the supply shows a falling oft of 3,000 as compared with the same time last week. This In itself amounts to little or nothing in the facu of the fact that nearly every market is full of dressed beef out of the big run of the past two weeks , The least indication of an advance seems to send in cattle in such numbers as to act prices back , and even lower than boforo. There are too many Texans to get anything like a substantial advance on native butch crs' and canning stock. The stocker and feeder trade remains quiet.
