LINCOLN Dunr.Au or THB OMAHA UKB , 11WJ 1 > Srnncr , Ltxcoi.v. Jan. 23. I Tlio so-called controvcrnv between the Rovcrnor and the supreme court over habita tion rooms at the state house now seems to bo In a fair way for atnlcnblo settlement. It is nald , at least , that the board of public hinds nnd bnlldtncs can net lu the matter \vithout fear of wounding the feelings of cither party to the muddle. Architect \VI1- cor Is hero , Ho sustains the governor In the matter and says that "squatter rights" were not unwarranted under the circumstances It Is now uivcn out that the board sent a rep- rcscntntivo to St. Paul to ox.imino Into the matter , to prevent , if possible , any unpleas ant duties that might devolve upon it , nnd It Hccint to have been a wise move on Its part. The putlt'on ' of the supreme court was not uncnrtain in tune , nnd the complication was peculiar In this : ( Governor Thayer had taken possession of the rooms In controversy , and upon the assump tion that they were Intended for the ovecu tlvo department. Ho hod thn word of the architect nnd plans on Ille In the ofilco of the commissioner on public lands nnd buildings to guide him In his action. The supreme court based Its chum upon an alleged Inten tion of thucnlglnal plans of the capltol build ing , scaled by the legislative enactment , nnd Altogether the situation was particularly em barrassing ! to the board , Thuio was but > no way to settle the controversy intelll- jrently , mid the alleged oilglnal plans , if any , wore called for , mid upon thorn the board docldcd to Imso HA llndings. Lot Itbu nmler- fitood that the word of tlio board of public lands und buildings Is law hi all such mat ters. ters.But But the whole story Is told In the language of Mr. U'llcox in a word : "Tho governor now occupies the rooms Intended for him In thu original plans and specifi cations. They are on Illo In the com missioner's ofllcc. While they nro not the competitive plans , they are the plans origln- ully adopted , and It was the intention then imu now to put thu supreme court and the jirlncip.U law library on the third Hoot" There is an Item or two in connection with the competitive plans that might lead to a nlight misiindci.standlng about this mutter , but It amounts to nothing hero or there. I fihiiUtako pleasure In explaining the whole nubjcct to all persons most Interested in it. In the architectural HPIISO thu governor is on the llrsi story floor , mid this would put the supreme court on tlio second lloor. The en- tiunco to the capltol building is on the base ment lloor , which is not the first floor , as generally understood , and this loads to con fusion and possibly the misunderstanding that has existed. This Is all that I have to say about the matter. " HT. rllVNClS1 TOfAl , .MISTINUNCI ! SOCIHTV. The regular monthly meeting of St. Fran cis' Catholic Total Abstinence society was hold yesterday in Fitzgerald's hall , and was well attended by members and others in H.vmpathy with the objects of the society. The Hon. Patrick Kgan occupied the chair nnd strongly recommended the members to vso their united and individual efforts in strengthening tlio organization. Ho thought ono of the chief obstacles which withstood the success of the society at this tlmo was the fact that since the transfer of the Uev. Father Kennedy , they had no siiiritual di rector , nnd suggested the advislbllity of ap pointing a now committee to wait on the bishop with the views of obtaining his co operation and Inllucnco in aid of the society ; und also taut ho may assign one of the clergy as spiritual director. The chniriurn up- pointed us such oommittps diaries Mcilav , James Farrell , L. S. Gillick , Miss Waters , nnd on special invitation the lion. John Fitz gerald expressed his pleasure to accompany the committee , notwithstanding ho said that he was not \et n member of this society , but would Join at the next meeting. IIo would lend all his influence to encourage the growth of U.ls society. Ho had been an ardent counsellor and a strict practitioner of temperance since ho was seven .years old. Mr. McOlaro , who has n long and prac tical experience as n temperance advocate , vividly portrayed the sorrowful scones ho hod witnessed la the tcmpoinl ruin , brought on by frequent relapses into this predomi nant vice , but the ultimate rescue of the vic tims by persevering in the renewal of their pledge. Tlio chairman announced that nt future meetings there would bo a diversity of entertainments - tortainmonts apart from the regular routine business of the order , and for that purpose ho would appoint n committee , consisting of Miss Flanagan , Miss Hughes and Mr. Con nolly. There was much applause and enthusiasm manifested when the secretary road a long list of propositions for membership , among whom were the Hon. P. O'Cassidy , Dr. O'Ciorumn , P. W. Tarpy , J. SV. Mullen , Donnls Hyon , fi. O. Cassidy , Dave Fit/gcr- nld , E. J. Flaherty , Neil McDoruiott and John Fit/gorald , of the League of the Cross , n5tor which the meeting adjourned to meet Febiuury 10.THIS THIS FEnniitL COUIITS.

Tliaycr , Governor of Ne braska Dear Sir : As commissioner from the state of Nebraska , I attended a meeting of the commissioners from the various states hold in the cllj of Now York January S , to make arrangements for a | roper representa tion of all the states ami territories at the centennial celebration of thu Itrst meeting of congress and of the Inauguration of George Washington us president of the United States , and which event takes place in the cltv of Now York on April 'to , noxt. It Is the general aim of the persons having the celebration in charge to make it purely u national affair and a celebration of the in auguration of the present form of our gov ern incut under the federal constitution. As it is the hist In order , so It is to bo made the greatest of our national centennials. The president of the United States Is to bo received in the city of Now York on the " 9th of April , to meet with n proper salute from the naval vessels in the harbor of Now York and afterwards to hold a reception. On the evenlntr of tlioanth a grand ball Is to bo given to accommodate 8,000 persons , On the Mill of April tliero is to bo had a military piirnde , to bo participated in by the army and navy and by a pro.wr representa tion of the military orgnm/atior.s of the re spective stales and territories. On the evening of that day there is to bo bo given a banquet , with plates--for 8,000 persons , nnd on this evening is also to be a mugnlltcoiit pi rotcchnlc display upon the waters of the harbor. The president of the United States with his cabinet , the Judges of the supreme court of the United States , und the members of both branches of congress are to review the military display. To this celebration are invited the gover nors with their staffs , the lieutenant gover- 1101 sand the legislatures of the rcspoctivo states and territories. It is oxpcctcd that the governors of the respective states and terri tories shall ric'o in this military parade under the Hag of their respective states and es corted by the national guards of the states. This affair fs t } bo one of such great na tional importance as to appeal to the patriot ism of all the people. The end to bo desired can only bo nccom- nhshud by the legislatures of the respective states appropriating sufficient of the public moneys to enable the states to bo properly represented. I xvould suggest to your excellency to re quest the icgislntu.ro of our state , by proper message , to make an appropriation of snfll- cient money to enable the state of Nebraska to bo creditably represented on this great oc casion. .TollV L.

The Paston rotunda Sunday was nllvo with vlMtors , amonR whom were many back- number politicians , as well as ] > olitlclans of the projcnt tlmo. Among thorn was Urnd Slaughter , the present Clark of the house in the legislature at Lincoln , Ho was in on n flying visit , ono of the objects of Which was , of course , to look after his little boom for United SUtcs miirfllml. Mr , Slaughter has boon looking for this little ofllco over since he received the information thai General Harrison had been elected president. Ho has fortified himself with a petition which contains n number of names , whichtogether with the assistance whicti lie Is supposed to have rendered Senator Manderson Is sup posed to have made him solid for the position , Ho considers , however , that ho has some op position , nnd enumerates among those who would like to wear his scnlp.Jnko Dow , of To- cumsch , who was formerly u county clerk of Johnson ; Willlnm McHricr , of Sterling , who is stvk'J the old soldier candidate ; Major Hastings , cf Hastings , who is well known not less because of his connection with the csoipo of the murderer , Mat /.Immermnn , Rome time ago , at ICcarnoy , through thu machinations of n certain attorney who was afterwards punisticd by the courts ; Ed Allen , Marshal lllorbowcr's present capable deputy , whom Slaughter considers his most formidable opponent. Mr. Slaughter s.iys that Mr. Ulerbowcr , the present incumbent , is not n candidate for reappoiutmont. The position Is ono In which tha incumbent Is paid bv fees , the maximum allowed being $ > ,003. , The income , nt present , owing to the cutting off of a certain class of cases from the United States courts , now falls to reach half that sum , but Slaughter wants It , not withstanding .1. C. Swartley , n member of the house from Columbus , was also a visitor. He is u farmer living n few miles from the town , and n member ot the committees on county boundaries , llsh culture nnd appointments. Ho has not yet been able to give very much attention to the work usually devolving upon such committees , because that all-Important subject of submission has engrossed the at tention of nearly nil the members. Ho Is osperially Interested In the subjeet of fish- culture , upon which ho has some information mation , because in the vicinity of his town there are several ponds noon which In winter ice is raised , while in summer they are utilised for the raising of ilsn. It was the ice from these ponds which , Inst gum- broke the Ice combine In this city , which en deavored to run up the price to.50 per hundred pounds. The proprietors of these ponds have overcome the difllculty they at ono time had of keeping xvator in them , owinc to the sandy nature of the hot torn , and are now hopeful for an excellent supply of llsh for next season. The showing for last year w.is excellent. Those ponds were originally supplied bv the flsh com missioner. Mr , Swartly considers that through the agcncv of the stuto association , llsh raising In Nebraska mav become a cront industry , Mr. Swartley is a democrat and iinrompromisingly opposed to prohibition , nnd will vote against submission lu the house. Mr. Hraucht , the house member from Clnikson hi Coif ax county , n stock raiser , was also seen. Ho is opposed to prohibition because ho is satisfied It does not prohibit. .John Novatny , county treasurer of Colfax , with residence at Sonuyler , was also on hand , on his way homo from Lincoln , whore ho had paid to tlio state treasurer $24,000 of the ' 87 tuxes. Ho says that ho has collected for that year 93 per cent of the tax , which ho considers , under the circumstances , a verv good showing. Mr. tfovutny is the gentleman who succeeded John La Pache , who , it will bu remembered loft his bondsmen to pay up his dcllclts , which amounted to about eight thousand dollars , this sum , however , was divided among so many bondsmen that none of them felt the duty of paying a very heavy one. The evening train brought in a number of other legislators , among them the stately Hansom , of Nebraska City , whoso chair is in the senate ; Bill Canada , who hustled around with wonted activity Representa tive Towle , of Niobrara , and Speaker Wat son , of the house , who seemed to bo greatly In demand by half u dozen people at the same moment. This was the penalty ho paid for the honors of Bpoakcrshlp which had been thrust upon him. Besides those Senator Ijams , Representa tives Berlin and Snyder mingled in the swim. THE OASTM3 IN THE AIll. Which the UoomortViuit cm Jefferson Square. An air of quiet luxuriance and lassitude , in equal quantities , hung und about the cas tle in the air of the Jefferson square boomers , In the Ware block yesterday. A BEG man made several visits there , but the utmost diligence failed to dovolopo anything startling or sub stantial. The chamber of secret consulta tion , room No. 3J , was well littered up with scraps of letters and secret documents , nnd pieces of Lone Star and Spear Head , while the atmosphere is still heavy with the fumes of cheap clears. There is every indication that some mighty transactions have boon wrought hero , but this afternoon the chamber was painfully silent and deserted. Mo , oven Jim Creighton , who It is said is never happy now unless ho is engaged here in depicting the beauties of Jefferson square , or patroliug the sacred precincts of the lot itsulf , failed to show up. The reporter , however , caught frequent glimpses of his graceful llguro as ho hobnobbed around Boyd's corner , button hol ing everybody tnat passed. The keeper of the Joffeison Square Alaska Seal , custodian of the castle in the air , and Lord High Exe cutioner , F. W. McArdlo was found at his desk in the reception room , intently engrossed - grossed in sticking clippings from TUB BEE in n big scrap book. "How's she going , my lord duke ? " ven tured the scribe. The Great Seal glanced up , nnd failing to rccognlro his caller he said : "Oh , lovely ; we're sure to win pvcry- thing points that way. " "How much of a vote will it require to give us the hall on the square , lord ! " "Well , 'that's hard to say , " said ho. "Thoio's 18,000 voters in the city , but it do- pcnds on which side has the rustlers to get out the votes , and I think wo control the gang. " "On a voluntary vote , then , wo couldn't win. " "Hardly , hut wo ain't a cola" to take no chances : we're out for " "Tho stuffl" suggestlugly interrupted THE UEU. "Not exactly , but wore out for the city Imll on Jefferson square and we're goln' to get them. " "Whore is Mr , Pnrayl" "He's rustlin , ' ' 1 be back though soon and you can talk to him. " Hero THK Bui : bid the seal keeper good day and rotiiod , "Nino times the space that measured dav and night to mortal man , belay vanquished , " thus quoted J. B. Fumy to-day as ho stopped to shake hands with a nowspuper reporter "What's that got to do with the city hall business ) " asked the news gatherer. "Two fold , " answered the Jeffersonian ex pounder , "In the first place , wo may nuoto It 'eight times the space , ' etc. , and apply it to Mr , llobowator. It's only eight days , you know , until tha election. Perhaps you dna't know it , but the little learning I have ac quired I ioarned from Protestant schools , nnd thoio wo were taught to quote poetry I so learned of the beauties of poetry and art tliero that I am now ublo to make a practic able application of it nnd point out the artistic ndv > intagcs of the Jefferson square site over the ono on Farnuin street. " A Biii reporter in conversation with n well known Insurance man this afternoon In quired what ho thought about the probable location of thu city hall. . "It should remain where it Is beyond any doubt , " said no , spiritedly , "but I don't ' think clti/cns in my position should have any voice in thu matter. " "Why not ! " "Simply because I am not n taxpayer , don't own u dollar's worth of property lu the city , and It is nn Injustice to those who do. " "But I hardly think your class of citizens will bother thomselvca inuoli about the com ing election. " "Oh , don't you fool yourself. Out of ovary ten nion who vote for Jefferson square , about nine will bo men who haven't a dolhirM worth of Interest In the city. I know this to ho true , from the people tbo boomers are. working upon. " Tlio Jury S.
