About Over A Cautious Abstractor Personal and ' General News. LINCOLN BUHKAU ov THIS OMAHA Bcu , 102 ! P STKEKT , LINCOLN. Jan , 30. The board of public lands aud buildings mot again this morning to consider the llnal cortlllcate of the architect , as to the comple tion of the capltol , pertaining to 11 mil settle ment with the contractors. It was decided after duo deliberation to accept the building , but to waive no rights of the party of the first or second part , pending such investiga tion as the board may doom it necessary to make , to reach a proper understanding of the true condition of everything connected with the contract and the plans and specifi cations , Contractor Stout's statement , vert- Hod by the estimates of the architect , show that the sum of 103'JOO Is still due him from the state. The further sum of $30 , < XX ) has run for extras , nnd the legislature will bo naked for an appropriation , to foot the bill. It is understood that those extras were run without law. or order from the board , and that the responsibility rests upon the self- imposed authority of the architect. While the board accepted the building In a Bdise , the rights of both parlies 10 the con tract remains Intuct , and there must bo a proper showing upon the coaling inspection nnd investigation before llnal settlement will bo made with the contractor. The fOS.OOO must , under the Intentions of some members of the board , and possibly all of them , pay and receipt sub-contractors and material men in full , according to the requirements of tpo statute laws of the state. This exaction ims been secured by the passage of proper resolutions on the part of the board. With this done , nnd reasonable compliance with the plans and spoclllcations found , llnal settle ment will bo an easy and smooth matter. 1 Architect Wilcox was somewhat nettled „ whan the board deferred 11 mil payment of his bill for professional services. It amounts to 9T49.'iS ( , mid ho evidently hoped to got his money and have done with his contract with the stato. lie was reminded that the board hud not yet had sufficient time t. go to the bottom of everything , and ho mod- cstiy said" ! can't wait."but his actions were such that a careless observer could see that bo had lost his usual poiso. The board seem to bo Inclined to go for loose work if it can bo found , nnd have hold In reserve back pay and original bonds , provided half-driven screws are discovered. In the matter of the controversy of the governor and the supreme court over the rooms now designated us tha executive do- partiwnt , the hoard has taken no dotlallo action , but It Is given out In a quiet way that no change will ho made. Governor Thaycr and Judge Maxwell had a sharp passage or two in the presence of the .board regarding the matter , but they inalut'ainod their dig nity ui\d \ tempers. Architect Wilcox , how ever , was quizzed unmercifully by the JuOge , nnd nt times ho seemed to bo In a bigger muddle than the ono the board Is trying to settle without bitterness or hard f colmRs. The board Is master of the situation , and there Is no doubt but what its decision will bo final and gen erally satisfactory. It Is said that the board will not publicly decide this matter until after settlement with the contractor. Stout is quoted as having said : "Tlio state is Joylnfi the use of my money and labor , and Is quarreling over a portion of it bofnro It has a logr.l right to. " And It Is suirgastcd that there Is more truth In the statement than might appear on the surface. A ciUTioua > i)3TiucTon. The state deeded a picas of ichoollaod to a cltizon of Sauuders county a wcoK or so ttinco , properly signed by Governor Thuyer , whose signature was attached by Secretary t , uudor the great seal of the state , aud also by Commissioner Steen , when the deed was duly recorded in the oftlco of the com missioner of publio lands ami buildings and then sent to the fee simple owner. Presum ably it was recorded a second time in the county above slated. At least an enterpris ing abstractor of Ashland , who is preparing a very exact set of abstract books , wrote down .yesterday for notarial attest to the governor's signature. The amusing incident was too rich to keep , and some of the boys of the cointnissionor's ofllco gave it away this morning. The idea that a notarial seal is of higher testamentary authority than the great seal of state is just alittlo biUunny. "Hut It illustrates , " re marked a member of the senate , "that while it is embarrassing to become too cautious , statutary laws can not bo too simple. The position of abstractor is an important one , and no person ought to serve in such capac ity unlosa ho thoroughly comprehends the law under which ho works , and is otherwise thoroughly competent. A penalty ought to be flxod for impori'oct and defective abstract- Ing. But there is no danger that the Ash land man will go wrong.

CRESTON , la. , Jan. 30. [ Special to TUB CUE. ] Since THE BEE'S expose of the liquor joints hero , the police seem , to have been awakening to a sense of duty , and to the fact that unless they bestir themselves and make a showing their heads will forthwith bo lopped oft by the mayor. Last Friday Layer's south side restaurant was raided , but no liquor found , however. Three mon and an empty glass were discovered in a back room. It is nonsense to suppose that the keepers of liquor joints don't "keep cases" on the po lice , and one might as well endeavor to catch a weasel asleep as to walk In the front door in full view of the proprietor and his picket. "Poker" is a very fascinating game , es pecially whoa there is somotqlnir to play for. Small boys play the game hero for from ono cent to ton cents ante , and larger ones for from thirty cents to fifty cents ante. Not withstanding It is against the law , there are several places of business wlioro young men gather daily and nightly , Sundays included , and play at the game for money. At a certain tain hotel it is claimed the gaiuo is "played nightly for high titakcs. In a certain bil liard room , also a liquor joint , bil liards are played for money A certain doctor nnd a young blood of the town fought over a came of billiards that they were playing for money , but no arrests were made , although at least a dozen persons witnessed it. In a certain cigar store poker is played regularly night nnd day for stakes. If a man drives an uniuly cow through the streets and applies a whip the police stop him , but if u "gang" parade the streets , too full to refrain from trying to shout , no policeman comes near. "If the mayor closes our front doors wo will show him tnat 'boot-logging' is more dangerous , " said a dive-keeper. 'There will bo more drunks In a day than there are now In a week , " said ho , and ho meant it. Several of the smaller places have closed their front doors , but continued knocking and pat'ent ' waiting will open the back door every .time , provided you'ro "all rignt. " If you are in company with a policeman or a "squealer , " you might knock till doomsday before you are admitted. At a certain joint , approached from the back way , you pull a bell cord , aboil Is heard inside , and up above your head ton feet a bead pops out. If you "sizo up" nil right the latch Is lifted. If not , In goes the head and i'pu might us welt wait for the last day as for the door to open. At another "joint1 ; a stick or chunk of coal thrown upon the ropf. informs the inmates that "ono of the gang'J desires admittance. After a short wait , i/tbo , coast is clear , ho Is admitted. Let a stranger or a policeman rap on that same doorflye minutes after , and ho may rap till his knuckles are sera , but it never opens. , Mayor Taylor has publicly sworn eternal vengeance upon n\\ \ \ liquor dealers. The common council liua , passed rlgjd ordinances- against them , declaring all houses disorderly where liquor selling , gaining nnd other vices are permitted , and Ipiposing $10U line on keepers of disorderly houses. Still barrel after barrel of whisky aud case upon case of boor are shipped la , hero weekly both by fi eight and express , nnd are hauled by reg ular teamsters to tieso ) joints In the broad open light of the dayrn Orders for stock are sent by mall and telegraph , aud empty bottles tles returned in bdfrela and cases in the usual way. Several cases of beer are kept beside a stove in some places durlag cold weather. "Give mo ten minutes' notice , " said a alvo- keeper , "and I will defy mortal man to itud a drop of liquor on the premises. " I found some on the promises , I take notice , yet the authorities have not yet proved themsulves equal to the task , nor exerted themselves in any extraordinary manner. The fuct is , there la no desire to close the "joints" so long as they ure conducted quietly and peacefully , and the feeling Is general. The police are not prone to make arrests or search the "dives" unless It is pos itively necessary to preserve their uood rec ord and the Impression that they are doing tholr whole duty. I have talked with many , and I have yet to hear it presumed that the prohibition law will over bo other than a "dead-lottor" In Crcston. I dare say only a few expect it to bo anything else , while the majority claim It an Impossibility. "Boforo the ' Prohibition' 'plrato ahlp en tered our port. " said an old , gray-headed citizen , "Creston was a booming city. To-day she is dull , weak and featureless not the shadow of her former solf. Rid her of this scourge , prohibition , and ere tha year has passed she will resume her old-tluio vigor in n largo degree , and eventually bo the le.idiug city of southwestern Iowa. " His words were but the echo of the voice of the majority. Pears' is the purest and best soap over made. In Social Session. The headquarters of the Elks were alive with youth and beauty lost night , the event being tuo social session for the lady friends of the Elks. The affair proved a great suc cess.
