Sovr-ti ballots wore tnkcn. Three votes each

riiiidlilaio received more than one vote.
Tommy Hcntoti , ( lie Binoolli-fnccd auditor ol
Mate , cast his vote seven conspeullvo times
for Mr. Alcxmitii'r ' , of inswunco fame , while
other members of the board alternated be
tween the Kimlloincn recolviiiR the highest
number of votes and their personal favor
ites. At UiP eloso of the seventh ballot Mr.
.Steen moveil that the board wnivo the ulce
tlon of a board of aorretnrios until the
llrst regular incotltiK in April , staling
for his reason tliat It was
apparent tlint no election could bo reached.
TStr. IK'titon seconded the motion. There
was a sudden pause. The motion took the
breath of nt least two members of the board
away , for the truth was at once apparent
that the railroads hud the under hold on tliu
new board of transportation , and would
throttle any honest efforts tlmt might bo
made to relieve the people of the state from
oppression and extortion. Henton and Hteen
wont on record lor the roads , nnil Joined
hands with Mr. Laws to continue the Kflml
and keep tip the old-time bitterness on the
board. Nothing more , however , was expected
from Bcnton.
The attorney general .stated his reasons
for wishing the election to proceed , mildly ,
franklv and fiilrly. Ho said that he desired
to wont In harmony with the board , and that
Ager and Munger were specially objection
able lo him ; that there weru antagonisms
that could not bo removed only by tlio election
of u now board , and bo personally appealed
to the members to make It possible for him
to do this. He said thai allegiance to the
state demanded a change , and an effort for
redress from grievous wrongs.
Mr , Hill Htntod that the appeal of the at
torney general would receive this sanction of
his vote , and asked the opinion of the board
as to the legality of the board of secrotarics
holding over until the 1st of April.
Commissioner Steou produced an opinion
from the supreme court , procured by Mr.
I Henton to protect him in his course , declar
ing that the continuance of the board would
bo perfectly legal. Stccu then stated
that ho thought a postponement of
f the election would bo for the
public good because the legislature
would want n deal of information that a now
board could not give as well as the old.
Locso retorted that ho aid not propose to
vote for a man who could not give any In
formation that the assembly might seek.
Laws said that the fcolinga ot it majority
of the new members would govern his vote ,
and as there were no further remarks the
vote was taltcn , and the election of the board
of secretaries was postponed.
Ttio vote , however , for clerk showed the
rottenness of the game. After thrco ballots
H. M. Waring , ono of the moat negligent
workmen of the clerical force at the state
house , was re-olcctpd. Loose and Hill voted
against him. It must bo remembered
ibat Wnrlnir la one of the
most notorious railroad spotters in
the state. He is from his post of duty at
least half his time , and although competent ,
no ofllcial room nt the eapitol is ao much neg
lected. Hisro-olection is a burning disgrace ,
llcuton and Stcen showed their allegiance to
him by giving him their votes. It is now the
feeling hero that the attorney general has
been slapped squarely in the face.
AN KXl'intlMKNT.U. , COMMITTCK ItKUC.
The committee sent out by the government
to investigate hog cholera in tills and other
states , consisting ot Prof. K , O. Shakespeare ,
Prof. Hurrill and Dr. Meade Bolton , repre
sentatives of the universities of the states of
Pennsylvania. Illinois and South Carolina ,
respectively , arrived in the city this morn
ing. Their investigation will bo conducted
at the experimental laboratory of the state
university , now under the direction of Dr.
lillltngs , so well known in But
ler mm Richardson counties , and will com
mence immediately. Circulars . have been
scattered broadcast throughout the state ,
calling upon hog raisers and breeders to fur
nish the "squealers" for such experiment as
may bo doomed necessary by the committee
during the work of investigation.
Dr. Billings courteously tendered the com
mittee the use of the laboratory and such
oilier accoutrements ho possesses throughout
the days of the invcs'igatlon. This , however -
over , is but a common countosy. It Is under
stood that the committee will take Billings'
labrntory and Instruments and proceed In
experimental work as in the Judgment of the
members of the committee may bo deemed
best. Porkers are wanted , both siulc and
well , and It Is fair to presume that they will
come in by dozens and scores. The work of
the committee will certainly bo watched
with interest throughout the state , and es
pecially because it Is expected that the com
mittee will endorse or condemn Billings'
past pretensions. For the past few days ho
of cholera fame has boon very quiet. Ho
< ias quit playing at "Farmingof the Shrew. "

Ex-Secretary of State E. P. Hoggon ox-
JresRos himself to Tun HEI : representative
tin the HUbmlftsIon question us follows :
" ' 'I am Infavor of giving the prohibitionists
of this state n iloso of their own medicine on
the submission question by submitting an
amendment to the constitution , wherein high
license would govern in the place of an
amendment precipitating absolute prohibi
tion. The foregoing tactics would , in my
Judgment , put the prohibition cranks of No-
brnslcn on the run ; the least effect this move
could possibly have woulu bo to place them
on the defense , Instead of aggressive , the
position they now occupy. The majority of
the electors or this state without doubt favor
high license , and the game amount of energy
and influence which has boon used
heretofore to defend prohibition would
insure HID passage of a high license plank at
this session of the legislature. You can put
inodownas being a subinisslomM , on the
high license plan. I lay claim to originating
this Idea , and after Its introduction through
the columns of Tin ; Hiu I expect to see my
nuggcation meet the approval of the clearest-
headed minds of the state. If prohibition is
to be forced upon us nt this session of the
Nebraska legislature , then I favor a dual
plank submission on the ono hand and high
license on the other. This course would for
ever nettle the matter , and If the prohibi
tionists nro honest , of which I have some
doubt , they will willingly submit to the plan
proposed. "

fcOMB QOSSll'Y HUMOUS.
Some ot the members of the senate and
house nre bout on making u "record" during
the present session of the legislature. What
It will bo bo , however , remains u matter that
the future alone can determine. Whether
good , bad or Indifferent , the various constit
uencies will pass their Judgment by and by.
During the past day or two u number of
wild , wlord and romuntlo rumors have been
current on the streets of Lincoln , A few of
them , however , are sensible , and the people
of the state will not only give them endorse
ment , but a hearty iiyo and amen. It la
stated that Investigating committees will bo
appointed both from the senate and house , to
especially inquire into the work of
the veterinary department and the
state board of railway transportation.
It is especially intended that the expundlt'
urf of the live slock commission shall bo
looked into and reported upon. It is further
Intended that the board ot transportation
shall snow cause for rescinding the frolih
rate order of July 5. The boftrd will bo nskcc
to furnish the schedule rates for Illinois nm
Iowa , with reports from other states , alleged
to have been thr basis ot the flop from the
people to the railroad cor | > orntlons of the
state. But the good work li not to stop bore
All of the departments of state are to receive

Denmark" it must como to the sur-

in the interest of good government.
In reference to the investigation of the
work of thf board ot trnnsporlalinn' , it oilitln
to bo remembered that the concurrent reso
lutlon ol the aunato and house , asking for the
seheduln of Iowa and Illinois freight rates
of ivhirh so much has been sr.id , could not
bn furnished by the board. This is signlll
cant , considering a clause of the biennial re
port of Secretary Laws , nml the outcome of
tlio contemplated Investigation ought to be
watched with interest.

Complaints wore made about the increase
of Ilia commission on a car of hogs from $5
to ili to tuko effect January 15. Complaints
were also made of the injustice of the weigh
ing by the Western Weighing association ,
the burden of tlio charges being increased
rates and advantages alone to the railroad
companies. James Danley said that ono of
the objects of the Live Stock Exchange was
that the packers and commission men are
combined against the raiser and shipper ;
Lhat the packers will not buy from any ex
cept commission jnon nnd if a shipper
brings in his own stock that he cannot sell it
as there is a pledge among the packers and
commission linns not to buy stock except
through the commission channels. Many
commission linns were compelled to join the
exchange for self-protection and not because
they wanted to. The speaker thought they
would raise the commission to $10 a car on
tiogs. President ICehoosaid that the agent of
or a shipper to the commission llrm whose
idvcrtiscmcnt ia on the back of the associa-
1011 pamphlet. , came to him nnd threatened
to put In a buyer against him unless he
would ship to this firm ,

lorts in the evening Bnc. It was said that
ihoy mislead buyers and sellers by giving

day.Messrs.

nlttce mot at ti o'clock Thursday nfter-

anil PoI'nclnR ol'Itriuulft.
The corridor of the Paxton house was
filled yesterday morning with broad-brltumct
white felt haU , and their wearers spoke in
undertones and looked bored as they were
buttonholed mul turned by lawyers repre
senting respectively the contesting parties
In the great Kit Carter-Harlem Cattle com
pany suit which is at present occupying the
attention of the fcdornl grand jury. Many
of these cowboy attired man were bo-
foru that body this morning , and
told what they know concerning the nllegtx
lions of fraud , burglary , the destroying of
brands on cattle nnd many other unpleasant
charges and counter charges.
The long looked tor Ben O'N'oil , the ox-
secretary of the Harlem company , circulated
among the crowd and was expected before
tlio grand Jury yesterday. The latter ,
however , wore not ready for him , and in re
sponse to questions put Ufhim by n Bnr. re
porter Mr. O'Nell said :
"This whole business from beginning to
end is a picco ot wilful malice on the part of
men who nre in sympathy with the Carter
people , nnd who want to gobble up the Har
lem concern at their own figures. The
charges made against moot burglarizing tlio
oflleo and stoallnu the books from the safe ,
nnd knowing of the erasing and destroying
of marks on cattlu are simply malicious and
without foundation. When Mr. Webster , as
receiver , came to mo and told mu that the
affairs of the company were in his charire ,
ami that ho had given a bond of $00,000 , J
asked him how 1 was to know
of that , as I had received 110
lutlco from the court. Ho told mo to go and
find out , nnd put his son In thcoftlcc , to
whom I gave a key , but not the combination
of the anfo as has bcnu clmrpcd. I went to
McCook to consult with my lawyer ,
Hon. Thomas Coolfer , nnd ho sug
gested tlmt I get the books and
take a copy of them. 1 went buck to Stratton -
ton , and reached there at midnight. Young
Mr. Webster was asleep , nnd not wishing to
awaken .him I unlocked the safe and took
the books to McCook , copied
them and returned them. I told
Receiver Webster of my action , and twice
afterwards I got the books just by telegraph
ing thorn. It was by these latter means that
1 secured them for Leo Frank , representing
Claflln Co. , of Now York , and it was ho
who gave them to Montgomery , the lawyer ,
and not I , "
"How about the destroying of brand * on
live stock 1"
"I know nothing of that , and if anything
of the kind has been done it was while I was
in Now York , where I have been on business
for weeks. "
Mr. O'Noll , G. M. McMillan , of Champion ,
In. , and William Barry , of Stratton , former
umnloyos of the Harlem company , wont be
fore the grand jury and were heard this af
ternoon. _
