THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. THIUKSPAY. JANUARY 24. 1880. THE STATE HOUSE SQUABBLE Some of the VIowa Expressed In Howard to the Matter. STATEMENT OF THE GOVERNOR I'1 'I'0 StiUo Supreme Court Donlli of John McGoimlfT Nrw Corporations I coin News Notes. LINCOLN Ucnr.Au or TUP. Chnru UBB. ) lO-J'J I' STRUCT , [ LINCOI.V , Jan. 23. | Tlio pending squabble- the stnto house for tlio rooms nt present occupied by Gover nor Tlmycr provoltcs n good deal of comment in Lincoln nt tills time. Until yesterday , no ono Itnow that the Judges of tlio supreme court wanted the rooms in question , but Deputy Clcik Whcclcr hiul long since cx- jiri'iscd his jiroforcnco for thoin and through lilm U became common talk that they were originally Intended for the supreme court , mid by some it was understood that thu board of puullo lands mid buildings would assign thnm to Unit body. It seems , however , that the governor took possession of thorn ti few d.ys ajro , or about the ttmo that the petition of the sumenio court was piesuntul to the bonid. Tills was tlio signal for the coniiiicnipnicnt of whatever mnddlo umj rxist , and Tin , Hen icpresontativo h is sought to obtain the I'Ottom fads regarding the matter. The plans of the i.ipitol , on Hie In the oftlco of the commissioner of public lands and buildings , show th.it the not Hi looms on the second Hour of the main build * Ing worn disigneil for the executive depart * input , and the rooms dlici.ll ) above them for the supreme I'ourt. These looms aie on the flooi of thog.dlriy of tlio state library which is intended for the volumes of Uhiokstona mid Ills disciples , and to which two cosoy leading rooms mo nttaihcd Not satisfied with tlio knowledge obtained dlicct from tlio plans , an mtumcw was sought with several fcntlcmcti who ought to know , as to the orlgin.il intentleii foi the disposition of the rooms In conti ovursy. "If my incniorv serves me , " said evTie.is liter Hnrtlclt , "therooms now occupied by Oovernor Tlmjer wcro oiiglnally intended for the chief executive of the state I have tome means of knowing , for 1 was a member of the boat d of public lands and buildings when the plans and specifications of the cap ital litillding wcro adopted. The looms on tlio third Iloor , diicetlj above the executive dcpmtment , weio intended for the "Upiemo court. I nppiehcnd , however , that the bo.ud v ould hiivo a right to change them if in its Judgment it seems best. 1 know nothing about the muddle between the govci 'ior nnd the inembeis of the supicmo court regaiding the rooms the alleged trouble is ovci. " A stuto onici il snld "It has ulwavs boon my undcisl.inding that the noitli rooms of the main building , on the second end floor \\cto intended for the governor. It is my opinion that the kick o\or the rooms oiiginates with Deputy Cleilc Wlicoler and not with the supreme judges , and that when they piopeilj imdeistand the matter oil could not lloat inoio smoothly upon the tioublcd waters , and the unpleasant subject will sud dcnlj diop. " An ex Htntc olllciul also said : " J here is no doubt but what Go\einoi Tluijor now occu pies the looms ongmally intended for him. It would bo a bail mo\e to nut him on. the llrst door. lie is locateu midway between the two houses of the legislatmo , and can bo reached In a moment forconfeicnco when- o\or nncossciry. 'L'ho supiome court will have easier access to the law librar.on the third than on the second iloor , anil I am of the opinion thut this is a great blow about nothing It would bo a mistake to put the gencial library on the thiid llooi. " To the query of Tin : HUD representative , "What have vou to say icgarding tlio con- tio\crsyi" 'Iho governor icplied : "I have no contio\eisy whatever. Neither of the Judges hao ever spoken to mo on the sub ject. Nearly two years ago Mr. Wllcox , the architect of the capital building , informed me that these looms on the second llnoi , that is the Jlrht Iloor above the giound Iloor , were designated foi the govei nor. Audi am in- foi mod by a member of the board of public lauds and buildings that on tha anginal plat , these rooms arc mat kcd for the governor's ofllccs. The rooms diieotly above thcso rooms have been titled up and partitioned off for the supreme court looms. The law library would naturally bo placed in the alcoves of the new llbiaiy room and they mo on the same floor of the room which has been fitted up as a supreme court room , and could not bo moio convenient than they are. ' 1 ho lower Iloor of the library is on the sumo level as the new rooms which the gov ernor now occupies , and are on the same Iloor with the hall of the senate and house of icpicsentatives. The law libiary should bo placed in the alcoves which nro on the same level w ith the room designated for the Biipicmo com t room , and could not bo moro easily accessible by any other arrangement. Furthermore , there aio elevators so that tlio supreme court loom can bo reached without any trouble or olfoit. The supreme court room ought always , and always is , the most rethcd pnit of a public building. " SUl'ItLMC COIUT I'llOGLCIllVOS. W. P. McUieary was admitted to practice.

Ho retained consciousness to the last , and passed nwny surrounded by his family and mends. The cause of his death was lioinorilmgoof the stomach. Ho leaves a Wife , two sons mid three daughters.

FEW OF THEM FIND ANY FAULT. The Kallronds to Illamo For Deficiencies The Yimlg ns Glenn ns ThoHO of Other I'lnccQ. i Opinions as to the condition of affairs nt the South Omaha stock yauls are being freely expressed , aud appear to bo greatly diversified. There seems to he two sides to the question. The publication of complaints of some of the commission men doing busi ness at South Om.ih i h is opened the vv.iy tea a free and full discussion of the subject Mondnv afternoon a mooting WAS hold In foouth Omaha and the alleged irregularities considered nt some length. Kosolutions were passed and steps hiwo boisu taken to the end of bringing about a spaitly remedy for anj abuses th.it m iy o clst. Tin : Unu to day mesents a numuor of in- tervicus fiom prominent commission men doing business nt the exchange , as follows ! John D. Davidson-1 think the policy of the Stock Yards company has boon as liberal towards the com mission men us It hns boon towaids the packing houses , and fuithor it has troited us as faiily ns any company I have over done business with , and I have handled stock In yards at New York , Pitts- burg , Hufmlo and Chicago The yards here furnish ns good feed as any stock yard in the United SI ites , and at n lower price than nt any other pi ice except ICins is City , where the pi ices are the same. The comp-iny gives full weight in hay nnd corn bought of them 1 think this yaid Is kept cleaner thiiu any yard at which I over did business The ac- eomiiioditioiis are ample for the stock ic- coiv cd hero In lefeicnco to the statement that stock Is held on the sidetracks and scales mi unreasonable length of time , I can say that f never knew stock to bo held on tracks or scales tor longer than two liouis , and that was tluough the fault of the weigh ing association anil not of the stock yaid company. As far as ndvei Using is concctncd I think that it is doing its share of the advertising. It has men tnveliiig over the country all the time As for tlio giade of stoclc hero , it is better than the uver.iiro of any yard in the United States. The com puny has been doing all in Its power to make this a stocic point. J. A. Jfi. uier As to whether the company is mote liberal to the picking houses than to the commission men , 1 couldn't say , ns I don't know how liberal it is to the packing houses The \aids hoie nro now and need in.mthings which the > have not , but as then men iu o working all the time I think these requisites will soon be supplied. I don't ' approve of this "kick" that is being made bv some of the commission men. 1 think the j.uds hero mo cleaner than the average , and the only fault I have to find is with the quality haj fuimshed. I3ut some times the company can't help this , as the hay ciop will bo poor throughout Where I have done business the puce h is always been 51 pci 10J , and jou never get 100 pounds of hay to the bale. I couldn't suy how extensively the compinv advoitises. It is to its interest to advertise libei.illy and I think it does If the compaay had not ad- voitiscd and worked hard , the yauls would not have attained the prominence they have in two years. Some etToit should be in.ule , I think to induce the eastern roads to make better time coming west James Polev Uieio is no discrimination made against the commission men in favor of the packing houses ; they have their yards and wo havooins. I have been in the Chicago cage yards for sixteen years , and I say that the yards here are much cleaner. The com pany is very accommodating , and whenever wo need anything all wo have to do is to ask for it. The cliaigcs for feed are just the same as in other markets , and while sometimes hay will run less than 100 pounds to the halo , other bales will run considerably over that amount. The yards are sufficiently largo for the business. This summer the company Inc reasod the capacity of the yard onc-fouith. I am as hard to please as any of them and I have no cause , whatever to find fault. S. J. CofTman I don't ' know anything about the hog yaids , but the cattle yards are largo enough , and are kept fairly clean. Air. Coffman was called away and his partner , Mr. Grantham , continuing said : "When this weighing system was first begun ship pers were hoaid to complain that their stoclc had been held on the side tracks on unrea sonable time. The charges for feed are tlio same as anywhere else , but as to quality wo have had shippeis complain > that thi hay was poor. I have never seen any very extensive udviTtUintr done by the stoclc yaids com pany. A. Waggoner I think the statement that the yaids heio are more filthy than other iaids is Incorrect and as far as their capac ity is conceined wo have no fault to find , ns the company has always h nulled our stock all right. The stock yard people have treated the commission men about as faiily as possible under the circumstances , The cliaigcs for feed are the same us elsewhere , and in weight and quality the hay furnished is as good as furnished by any yards with which I have over had anything to do. There has been considerable complaint made over the fact that stock is held an unreasonable time oa the scales and sidetracks. I don't know whether the stoclc company has any thing to do with this or not , but the tioublo 13 owing to the weighing system wo have in vogue here. About the only fault I have to find with the csmpany Is the fact that it does not expend enough money in advei Using. I think it should defiay a good propoition of the ex pense of advertising ami should use every offoit to uring shippers to this mnikot , J , G , Mai tin Wo have always been treated very well by the company and have no complaint to inako of discrimination m favor of the packing houses. I have done business In the Chicago yards and I don't think the yards hoio are atiy dirtier than tlio ones thoro. They are sufllcicntly larero to handle the receipts Ono of the woi t tilings wo have to contend with Is the fact that stock is sometimes permitted to lay on the side tracks too long , but that is the fault of the railroads and not of stock yards company. The hay furnished is sometimes poor hut us a nile I think the company gives us good hay. Dressed beef men kill as good stoclc hoio as they do in Chicago. W. II. Alexander I have never seen any discrimination In favor of the packing houses. I was In business In Chicago eleven years , and the yards hero are kept as clean as these In Chicago. It is not always possi ble to keep yards In a first class condition on account of the weather. The yards are largo enough for the avci.igo business , although at times wo have been short on room for cattle , but have had more room than we needed for hogs this season. Thcra'a no question but that cattle are allowed to lay on the side tracks too long botoro they are unloaded , but that is the fault of the railroads. The puce of lions here is the B.imo as in Chicago , while the pi ice of corn Is lower. The hay last year was poor heio , ns It was throughout the country , hut this year the company has had good hay , D , lloppo When I have got no i omcdv I have no fault to Had , I don't refer to the in ess but to the stock yard company , I don't caia to say anj thing more. J. U Smllov 1 thliiK the yards here are cleaner than the Chicago yards , and their ca pacity Is sufficiently largo for the ordinary receipts It Is true thut stock is held too long on 'ho side tracks , but I don't think the stoclc yards company Is to blame for that , but that the railroad companies are responsible , I have novorheard any complaints maila about the feed fuinlshcd , except the quality of the hay. Thut has often been very poor. 1 have nothing to say regarding the other chaigcs , as I know nothing about them. .1. H. Hlanchard My observation is that the policy of the stock yards company to wards the commission men has boun the same as it Is towards the packing houses. I have been lu the Chicago yaids , anil I think the yards ho re are kept cleaner than these at Chicago. They are sutllplently largo to ao- comiaoJato the average iccoipta , although there are times when they are overcrowded. Tlio charges for feed are the same as at Kansas City and less thai ) at Chicago and Iho weights are the samo. It Is not true that ourMmycrs purchase inferior Rrnde of cattle * The cattle killed hero nro Just us good ns those killed in Chicago. I don't know whclhor the company keeps its advertising men out , but I do know that It advertises consldbrablo east nnd west. I don't know what the company has done to wards securing belter rates on railroads , but 1 do know that uiothlng 1ms been accom plished lately. U is true tnnt the stock is held on the sldetraoks nnd scales an unreas * enable length of time , but this is the fault of the weighing association , Special IilvoStotik nxolinn o MectlnR.

To secure the concensus of opinion among the legal fraternity upon the relocation of the city hall , a BKE representative was de tailed to canvass the office buildings of Omaha and interview each attorney. AH of the office buildings were visited in the busi ness center , and every attorney found in his office was asked to state his preferences. The gist of the replies is given bolow. The vast inajonty favor the picsont site The ratio is ono in favor of removal to five in favor of the present location : The city attorney : I am convinced it would bo a gieat mistake to relocate the city hall on Jefferson square. My experience has boon such that I kaow that the city officers have a gi eat deal to do constantly with the court house. There is scarcely a day that I am not compelled to go down to tlio city cleric's office or to the city engineer's offices , which are now located in the couit house basement , for records nnd papers necessary for the trial of a case at the bar , and if the city hall were located at Joftei son square I would have to send or go thut distance every titno a record was required , which would in volve a great deal of inconvenieuco to nil concerned. Out of the sixty-live cases that I have tried this year , m every other case it has been necessary to call the city en gineer , or the chairman of the board of pub lic woiks , or tlio city clerk , and also quite a number of the records ol these ofllecis into court. It is just seven blocks from the court house to JolTorson square , or about half a mile , and to make us go that distance with the booics of the city , and to walk half a mlle to get the officers , would bo nn imposition , Then , again , the heads of these dopai tinents would have to leave their oflleos in clmrgoof their deputies , to say nothing of the incalcu lable loss of time to those officials U they are compelled to go that distance , and of the in convenience to the city attorney , who is sup posed to bo ready always , or , at le ist , near nt hand , when city cases aio cilled for tiial. Then , the looking up of the dockets and the records iu the trcasuroi's oftleo , which have also to bo compaii'd with tlio county recoids , nnd the taking of the tax lists fiom ono building to the other would bo intolera ble. "Tho truth is , " added Mr. Webster , "tho court house and city hull should bo un der one roof , and I would have it so could I have my way. " Paul Chnrlton I prefer Farnam street. Anybody who has business to transact in public buildings would naturally pioler it. I am in favor of any site near the court houso. JelTurson square is too .far uway fiom business. M. V. Gannon Furnam street by all moans. It Is in the present nnd prospective business center aud convenient to the court house. Besides these conslderationo I think it would bo a gross violation of faith If the citl/ens of Omahn should change the loca tion now after capital has boon invested in the vicinity of the present slto on the suppo sition that the city hall would bo located there. It would detiact from thu excellent reputation Omaha now enjoys in the eastern monny centers. F. A , Brogan I favor Farnam street em phatically , U'lmtu favorable Impiosslun it will create on the stranger vlsltim ; Omaha to sec so many imposing structures clustoi ed together , Jefferson square should bo kept as a bi eathing placofor tlio people. I1. \Voavor-rI object to going up to Blair when I want to visit the city building on business I want the city hull on the present site. E \Vhipplo-I own property In the northern pait of the city , but prefer the present slto for the gooil of the taxpayos , John J Points Prefer the present Mtc , but think the plans should bo clmiigcd and a larger building provided for John P. Davis The Faraam street site is the most convenient for the general com inanity and legal fratci nlty. Judge J. Fuwcetl Fiinmm street Is mv pro fin en co. I bolieva the court house and city hall should bo us near together as It Is possibU to get thorn It would ba a waste of money to ah union the piosout site and locate it on JclTcison squaro. Patrick O , Hawes I want the city hill on JetTerson square.

II , H Holsman Hulld the city hull on the present slto. There It will bo convenient to everybody , It Is the best available location C. J. Smyth I consider the present loca tion moro sightly. The money already spent there should not bo wasted. Uosldes , all public buildings should be close together fur general convenience. T. li. Mlunhan The rVirmun street silo is the most preferable. T. J. Mahoncy Uy all means erect the city hall on Tariiam street. George Chrlstoplierson I am for Tarnam street every time. r. L McCoi I prefer the present slto for numerous reasons. U. H. Olmsteail I am n Jefferson square advocate. I like It bettor as u slto for a pub Ha building. The city is giadually growing north 0. W.

Sheridan Ono of the things to con sider in the selection of n slto for a public building is plcnti of loom. Jefferson square is the site for room George W. Ambrose I am decidedly in favor of Fainam street. W , M. Giller I favor the present slto on general principles. V O Stiicklei I am a iccrult iu tlie Far nam sticot phalanx , Ware iXOioh nigh Wo have recently lo cated In the city. What wo know of the mat ter leads us to favor JcfToison square. George H. Place Furnum sticet fiiiinshes a sighttv and convenient location , and u far belter ono than the Sixteenth sticot paik. W. H. Ten Hick I favor tlio present slto The money already spent thcie should not bo wasted. JohnL. Carr I live In the northein end of of the city , but picfcr Fuinutu stieet as a location. Andiow Hovins Farnam street affords the most sightly location , is no ir the court house and is better for all purposes , .loller- son square is low and away fiom the busl nuss center. I don't want to have the city and county buildings half a mile apirt. J. T. Moiiaily L'.iiiiam street subserves the best interests of the people who have business to transact in the citi and county buildings. W. r. GuileJufleison squiiro is my prefeicncc. ItnlToids moio rooms and gives grcatoi oppoiluiiities to cicct a majestic building. O. P. Soxv.ud Futnam stieet for piofes- Bion.il convenience J. S. Morrison I prefer the picscnt site for general convenience. GeoigeO Colder If the city intends to keep faith with invcstors.thocity hull should bo elected on the piosent site. II.

Martin Langilon The city hall should bo near the center of business. Jefferson squaie is not in tl'o business center Eighteenth street is as near the center as we can get. The taxpn\ers should not lose the money al- icady expended on the foundation. II. U. Coehrin Tlio Fain.im street site is central , moro convenient , ind neai the couit louse.

A speclea of Amorlenn pond lily , or wild lily , thut glows everywhere in AinoruM , has been recently rocojjni/ed b.y a Chinese botanist to 1)0 ) a famous Chinese food delicacy , whose pottito- like root is considered liner and rielicr in tustc than the best of jams. A httlo over u jojir airo the doctor discovcicd it , ho stiid , in si creek in A&tocia. Its roots \\oio very small , but upon clobo examination he found it to l > o theory identical goonn of China , whoso valu able roots \\oia sold ut about 10 cents apiece. Ho took out se\oial and sent them to a Chinobc farmer in California for careful cultnalion. Tlio latter rumcd them iu a hot-hoiibo near his farm until ho had secured a suflleiont quantity of seedinfjs , and then planted thorn in a Held which was immersed in water la-ut spi injj. Thib spcciot-of lily , when euiofully cultivated , produces ( jioat quantities of jeliowish loots that resemble the regular Irish pot-itoos , hut are smaller in si/o and louyer. Yester day afternoon two ban els of them came f i om the farmer in question in San Fi an Cisco , who i.iisod nearly a ton of thorn , tills season from the soediugs that ho received from this city. They were sold in less than an hour after their ur- mal at HO cents a pound. A Mlnot'H fjiicky Fiiul.
