MODEST PAUL VANDKIIVOOUT.
I saw fnt und ambitious P.iul Vnndcrvoort ,
1 of Nebraska , at the cnpltol this afternoon ,
and asked him if it were true as reported
that ho wns an applicant for the general
suiwrlntcndcncy of the railway mail service.
tie replied that ho had nuulo no application ,
nor had ho lormulatod any paper * to bo lire-
Bontecl for the position , but understood that
n number of congressional friends and poli
ticians throughoul the country , seeing his
name mentioned in the newspapers for Iho
place , wore fulrly dying In endorse and
assist him If ho should ask for the position.
Nothing has been dona so far ail can learn by
the Nebraska delegation in the interest of
Vnndcrvoort , and ho himself has not determined -
, mined whether ho will have any chance.
Jlo Is simply pulling strincs und hoping that
lie can force himself to bo chosen. He will
not make formal application until ho finds
"Whether or not ho has a ghost of a show.

House.
Lixcot.v , Nob. , Feb. M. [ Special to THE
linn. ] A resolution was Introduced Hxlng
the hour of mooting at 0:30 : n. in. , and was
adopted.
Mr. Collins' motion that nil speeches bo
limited to ton minutes wns amended to make
It five , nnd adopted.
Hills on the third reading were taken up.
The following were passed :
A bill by Hill of Butler Hxlng the fees of
county treasurers and providing that only
ono commission on taxes should bo collected ,
A bill authorizing the issuing of Injunctions
and ordcra of a similar nature on Sunday ,
and a bill for the appointment of a stenogra
pher of each district court , nnd prohibiting
him from practising law In the district.
The Gilbert usury bill wns reached.
Leo moved to fttrlhcouttho enacting clause
but afterwards withdrew the motion.
Cady moved to recommit the bill on the
ground that the law would not apply to
banks chartered by the national government.
Ho said the bill declared nil commercial
pauer for which Illegal Interest had ut any
time been taken to bo not voidable , but abso
lutely void , and that as the national banking
net could not bo changed bj n state regula
tion that paper In the hands of individuals
would bo void , but notes of exactly the same
character held by national banks would ba
collectable.
Caldwcll wanted the bill recommitted In
order Mint he might propose an amendment
reducing the legal rate of Interest.
Towle wanted to know where the borrower
could get money If this bill passed and capital
left the state.
( Jllbcrt said It wns the same old story
nbout capital being driven out of the state.
Ho did not believe the bill would have any
such effect , and wanted to put the members
on record.
Cady withdrew his motion to recommit.
Mr. Helper hoped the bill would puss. Ho
said that whenever any meastiro was pro
posed which took an advanced position there
was always a cry of disaster which would
ensue in consequence of Its adoption. But
in this ease these speeches of disaster were
only hallucinations of a Hnancial delirium
trcmcns , ao to si > cak , of those who opposed
this bill. The state of Minnesota has n more
severe law than this would be. The law of
that state would order n note upon which
illegal interest had been , exacted to bo can
celled by thelcourt , and returned to the giver ,
yet with u climate moro vigorous than Ne
braska's , it had made u most phenomenal
growth in prosperity , nnd the two most prosperous -
porous cities in the union are in that state.
An All Wise Providencewould rather smile
upon that state that dared bo right nnd stand
between the oppressor nna the oppressed
than upon that state that had that moral
paralysis to encourage thn usurer in this
illegitimate raids upon the necessities of the
people. lie wished Nebraska to tuice , an
advanced position in this matter and come
up higher.
The bill was lost , receiving 2 nycs to W
nays.
Al'TKIlNOOX HES'-IOtf.
The h&use resumed consideration of bills
on third reading.
Tlio following bills were passed :
House roll 105 , to prohibit the publishing of
all lottery advertisements.
House roll HO , declaring dogs to bo "prop
erty , " and levying n tax against all mule dogs
of 81 and females Si. . -
On motion of Mr. Berlin , the Omaha char
ter bill was taken up as a special order.
Minor amendments were proposed and
adopted.
When section U was reached sevsral im
portant a"mondments were proposed. The
question of paving wns the ono under consid
eration.
Spccht said the street car companies had
been granted a franchise worth several
millions of dollars and they ought to app e-
ciato it.
Knynor moved to strike out eighteen and
Insert twelve miles , in line 00 , so that the
companies should bo required to pave all
space between the tracks and twelve Inches
outside of each rail. The amendment was
adopted.
Mr. Hall moved to strike out of the same
section the provision forbidding any court to
crant an injunction restraining any levy , as
sessment or collection of any special tax.
Ho said that only last week the supreme
court had declared this language In the
present charter to bo unconstitutional.
The amendment was adopted.
Section 15 wns amended so as to require
the street car companies to repave twelve
feet outside of each rail and adopted.
Sections 1(5 ( , 17 and 13 were passed without
objection.
Section 19 was amended in a minor point
and In section " 0 the assessment for the Rup-
port of the fire department was raised from
4K to 5 mills.
Sections 21 to " 0 , inclusive , were , passed

Minor amendments to change tlio plmis-
elegy of section 33 wore made ,
Sections 20 to 81) ) were passed.
The charter bill was completed without

unlnry of polled judge and city controller

The house then took up the Weber bill ,
compelling railroads to list their property
for taxation. The substance of an umcnd- ,
inent proposed by Mr. Cady was incorporated
In the bill , the amendments ordered printed
and the bill mndo a special order for Feb
ruary ! > 3 , ut 2:1U. : !

LINCOLN , Neb , Feb. 20. [ Special to Tins
BEE. ] The senate passed four bills this
morning without noteworthy debate.
Ono provides for the distribution of copies
of the laws among county attorneys , re
corders and clerks of the district court.
A second provides that when the last day
of grace on n note or other commercial paper

Another makes it unlawful for an oftlcor of
a city or a vitlago to bo or become interested ,
directly or Indirectly , In any contract with

of rtounty surveyors. Thabill was framed
for the socclal benollt of the county sur

slated in the urruat of a burglar known us
"Kcddy'iVljson. . The bargUr shot him in

abled for life. Several similar allowances
have been made In years pant for citizens In

criminals , There is no law on the subject ,
nnd , as Senator Chnrch Howe put It , tno
legislature is supreme in measuring out
chanty In such cases.
Raymond' * railroad linn bill , which has
been under flre several times , reached its
third reading after many vicissitudes and
on the vorfio of pnssago was sent back to the
engrossing committee to correct a clerical

linnsom's ' oil Inspection bill was approved
In committee of thu whole.
A committee will bo nppolntcd to consult

pression prevails that ttio government foots

r
7lio State Knrm.
Ltxcoi.jf , Neb. , Feb. 20. [ Special to Tits
Br.i : . ] The committee appointed to investi
gate the state farm and the experimental
station have no well defined object In view ,
nnd are groping in the dark. The state uni
versity Is mndo up of several Institutions
whoso relations ore somewhat complicated.
First , there Is tho-unlvorslty proper ; second ,
conies the Industrial college , with the stnto
farm as a part of Its apparatus , nnd , lastly ,
the agricultural experiment station , which is
to bo operated in connection with the nidus
trial college. The latter is in the nature of a
department of tlio university , as now man
aged. It was established under au act of
congress In IbO'J , making a grunt of lands to
sucli states ns should maintain an Industrial
college for Instruction In agricultural and
mechanical studies. The station Is based on
an act of 1877 , granting f 15,000 , per your for
the conduct of agricultural experiments in
connection with the industrial college.
Ex-Chancellor Manatt , who \vas before the
committee last , conilncd Ills testimony to tha
history and achievements of the industrial
college , nnd his conclusion was anything but
encouraging.
Mr. Manatt came to the university in 1884.
At u meeting in March of that year the re
gents declared tlio slate farm a failure , und ,
in the language of the day , fired everybody
connected with Us manpgcmcnti Chancellor
Manntt was authorized to engage a compe
tent person to take cimrgo of the agricul
tural alfalrs. Ho first tendered the place to
William I. Chamberlain , then of Ohio , but
now president of the Iowa agricultural col
lege. IIo declined , nnd Prof. Blunt , of tha
Colorado agricultural college , was invited to
enliven the corpse. He also declined , and
Prof. Beasey was sent east on a voyage of
discovery , with authorltyto get the best man
ho could. Ho engaged Prof. Wing , xvho
served until July of 1SSS , and gave it up as a
hopeless task. Those statements were made
to show that au earnest effort had been
mndo to give the Industrial college -
lego the benent of competent in
structors. In addition , special in
ducements were held out for students to
enter that college. There was a standing
offer of free lodginc , reduced rate of board
and mi opportunity to earn money by work
ing on the farm.
The industrial college has been in opera
tion for fltteen years , and the net , result of
all these years of effort nnd expenditure Is
fourteen graduates. During the past Hvo
years there has not been a graduate , nnd
not ono student has reached the junior year.
Of the fourteen graduates eight were in
civil engineering , and only six graduated in
agriculture.
In 18S4-5 there were sixty-two students In
the university. Thirteen were in the indus
trial college , Bis of them taking the course in
agriculture , In order to conceal the weak
ness of the university in-tho latter depart
ment the names of the students were pub
lished in one list Instead of being so separ
ated as to show thn small number In the in
dustrial college. The same course was pur
sued in the following year. In
1SSO-7 the faculty mustcicd its
courage and published a list show
ing 157 students , fourteen in the indus
trial college. The register for 1887-8 reported -
ported 184 students , fourteen In the indus
trial courses. The book for 1883-9 resorts to
the concealment practised three and four
years before. In 18S4-5 , therefore , the in
dustrial college had one student out of every
live in the university. In 18S7-8 the ratio
tiad decreased to one in thirteen. There was
no evidence to show the number of students
in the Industrial collece at present. The ex-
chancellor was very emphatic in announcing
Ills conclusion that the industrial college had
been a successful failure. He said the ex
periment had always been a failure where-
over conducted In connection with a regular
university. In Iowa , Colorado , Kansas and
Michigan the industrial colleges had been
separated from the .stato universities and had
proved successful. The education of the
ordinary unlvcrsiti Is to lit the student for
fine living , and in Nebraska it Is brought
into two seductive a proximity with the
course that trained men for hard work.
The atewart of the university estimates the
income of the industrial college from No
vember. 1838 , to November , 1S93. at 540,000 ,
which will bo derived from tlio rental nnd
sale of lands granted by congress. Ex-
Chancellor Mannatt argued that that was
not a fair indication of the cost of maintain
ing the Industrial college. The university is
composed of the college of literature , science
and arts and the industrial college. They
are copartners , and it * is only fair , he as
sorted , to hold that they hud a equal interest
in the fund raised by taxation. The state
ax for the current period is estimated at
$1:17,000. : One-half of that , or $03,500 , should
DO charged to the industrial. To the $40,000
from lands , and the ? Gj,500 from taxation
should bo added to the allowance of the gov
ernment of $ iO,000 for the experimental sta
tion , making a grand total of $ l&j500 ' charg-
iblo to the industrial college for two years ,
i'lio point is strained , but is hero given for
what It is worth.
Dual SulunisHlnn ,
LINCOLN , Nob. , Feb. , 8C.-rSpccial | Telegram -
gram to Tin : Bnn.l The supreme court's
opinion on the dual submission bill has been
prepared , and Tin : HUE'H correspondent is
enabled to conlidently predict that the court
will declare the bill valid and sufllcicnt. The
opinion underwent scrutiny _ this afternoon ,
and will be Illcd in the morning. The docu
ment covers several patios and reviews in do-
: ail the written arguments submitted at last
Wednesday's hearing. Tlio court will hold
-hat the constitution ia obscure in its direc
tions as to the methods and form of propos
ing amendments , and in thu abionco of Hpu-
clilc directions the intent of the legislature
should govern ; thattherefore , the substance
nnd purpose of son a tolie / Ul , rather than its
Form , should woigh. It has been intimated
that the members of the court , as indvlduals ,
regarded the question us largely political ,
and were disposed in such cases to weigh
public sentiment us an clement in forming a.n
ipinton. Judge Hcoso wrote the opinion , and
it is thought that Cobb will dissent.
Judge Maxwell was seen at 0 o'clock to-
tight , and ho stated thut the supreme court
was a unit in the op'ntan that tlio sub mission
bill , senate Hie HI , wan constitutional. The
opinion of the court will be Illcd to-morrow
morning. It Is un exhaustive review of the
subject * raised by Judge Webster in Imargu-
nent to the court. Judge Maxwell says that
upon careful examination * the court found
.hat most of the states provided for constitu
tional amendments by bills , introduced and
mssed In the regular way , and that such
iroceduro in Nebraska was in no way in con-
Hut with the constitution of the stato. Both
HCOBO and Cobb concur with Maxwell In his
opinion.

The State Printing Btll.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Feb. -Special [ to THE
BEE. ] Senator Pickett , who introduced the
bill for a state primer , rcscnls Ihe charge
that the move was inspired by the State
Journal , and thatji covers a job. Ho says
the bill is his owilldeii , though the Lincoln
concern mav havd'Itsljcye3 on the oflico it
seeks to create. Ho li ls H cures to show that
the bill will save the ! State many thousand
dollars , and that'yt'nslfis object in presenting
it. The report of the secretary of state
shows that SI 2,500'vvas paid for the publica
tion of 3.000 copies'of the compiled statutes.
Mr. Pickett figures thi\t \ under his bill the
same work could bo done for $ t5,259 , exclu
sive of the cost of compiling. The latter
work is estimated pt $200 to § 300. This ratio
of reduction could n6t be maintained through
all the state printing , but Mr. Pickett thinks
a big saving might bo Inade in that depart
ment. The secretary'pf atato reported the
cost of printing fbr'thd last two fiscal years
at about $24,000. iTho'balances on hand No
vember 30,1888 , nV recated f22,00o. ,
The Pickett bUfylldws 05 cents per thou
sand cms for setting straight book work in
leaded type. Tho'rate for press work is 40
cents per 210 impressions for eight-Dago
forms. As the printer would run sixteen-
page forms , this is equivalent to a little more
than 1.20 per thousand , which ought to sat
isfy oven Nebraska printers.

wnlks the earth to-night n vindicated man.
The Jury after sitting upon his case for nearly
twenty hours , had their vision cleared by
new Instructions from the court this mornIng -
Ing , and after a llttlo moro reflection came
back and reported "not guilty. "
The jury went out nt 2:15 : yesterday after
noon. They were expected back from hour
to hour during the afternoon and evening ,
but came not. The judge waited until 10:30 :
and then went homo to bed , leaving in
structions that if they reaohed an agreement
during the night they could leave a scaled
verdict with the bailiff. But that function
ary's slumbers were not disturbed as the
night were away. After court had convened
this morning was no word from the Jury
roam , Judge Conrad thought it about time
to llnd out whether the jury had forgotten
what they went out for ; so ho sent thoballlff
out after them. The twelve autocrats tiled in ,
looking as though they rather enjoyed the
greatness thrust upon them.
"Gentlemen , have you agreed upon n ver
dict I" asked .fudge Conrad after Dotmty
Clerk Jordan had called the roll.
"We have not , " answered DoMoss.
' What is the trouble ! " Inquired the court.
"It appears to be n disagreement in refer
ence to the instructions of the court , " re
plied Mr. DcMoe.s.
"As to what ! As to the paper marked 'ex
hibit A. " '
"Yes ; as to the effect of that , In regard to
Its being n privileged document or not. "
"Is that the trouble with you all ? "
The solid looking foreman bowed his head
In assent. The court then asked for a copy
of the instructions furnished the jury. It
was handed to him , nnd Judge ConraJ , In
structing the bailiffs to keep all persons from
the Jury , and remarking that he might modify
tlio instructions so ns to make thorn clearer ,
retired to his private room to look them over ,
while the crowd , somewhat smaller than on
previous days , waited expectantly and dis
cussed the pros nnd cons of the case. After
n period of disappearance nnd reflection.
Judge Conrad came back with some moro in
structions , Ho dwelt upon the privileged char
acter of the publication or pamphlet known
ns "exhibit" " A. " They stated In language
unmistakable that the governor had the right
to give the public the papers that were on Illo
in his ofllcu , affecting a pardon case , as these
did. Furthermore , that in order to establish
lioel under the Indictment the prosecution
must have shown wilful malice on the part
of the governor in circulating the statements
alleged for the purpose of provoicing Mrs.
Turnoy to wratn or exposing her to public
hatred , contempt orrldicule , "and whether , "
said tho-court. "you llnd said statements per
tinent , material or not before you convict ,
you must ilnd that they we're maliciously
circulated by the defondnnt in the manner
and for tup purposes hereinbefore directed. "
With this clear understanding of tlio case
it did not take Ion ; ; for the Jury to reach a
conclusion. At 11 o'clock n sharp knock at
the door of the jury room produced silence.
Thu bailiff went to the door and heard the
word that there was n verdict , and notincd
Judge Conrad that the jury had agreed.
Judge Conrad sent out for Judge Bnrcroft ,
the attorney lor the prosecution , and the
spectators awaited in breathless silence the
result of the trial. The Jury , at precisely
11:05 : , filed into the court room and took their
scats.
"Gentlemen of the Jury , " said the judge ,
"have you agreed upon a verdict ? "
"Wo have , " said Foreman DeMoss , with a
sigh of relief.
"Pass it to the clerk , " sal'l Judcc Conrad.
"Listen to the reading of the verdict , " said
Deputy Jordan.
"Wo , the jury , find the defendant , William
Lurrabee , not guilty. "
"Is that your verdict ? "
"It Is , " said the jur.v.
"So say you all ! " inquired the clerk.
The jurors all bowed. Judge Conrad then
excused the Jurors for the dny. There was a
clapping of hands , which the court promptly
suppressed , nnd then the crowd filed out of
the room. Neither Mrs. Turnoy nor Mrs.
Gillette were present when the verdict was
announced. Consequently the dramatic nnd
emotional features which some had antici
pated were wanting.
The governor was in hln ofllco at the state
house when the telephone announced his ac
quittal. Ho seemed greatly relieved nnd
somewhat surprised , for he rather expected
that the jury would hang after it had stayed
out so long , but the difficulty with the jury
seemed to bo as to whether a copy of n privi
leged communication was also privileged ,
and could bo given to the public the same as
the original papers could be. When that
point was cleared up a verdict wns soon
reached.
AH the rest of the day the governor was
busy receiving congratulations from his
frionds. He starts for Washington to-night
to attend the Inauguration , although after
the jury had been out a few hours , und a dis
agreement nnd a now trial seemed Inevitable ,
ho had abandoned his intention of making
the trip. Public sentiment is well pleased
with the result of the verdict.
More Evictions Threatened.
FT. DoiKiB , Ia. , Feb. 20. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BUB. ] James B. Weaver , a
member of the firm of Gatch , Connor &
Weaver , of Des > Moines , the attorneys con-
trollitrg the LItchlleld river land estate , was
in the city to-day making arrangements pre
paratory to the eviction of all bottlers on the
Lltcltfiold lands. Weaver stated that 700
judgments of possession of lands In Webster ,
Hamilton and Boone huvo been Issued
against 000 farmers. In the first week of
March every one of them will bo served and
evictions made. The selection or this early
date Is to prevent settlers putting in crops
and thus having u lion on the property , The
Litchllcld possessions form the largest portion
tion of the river lands , and comprise
thousands of acre * of the ilnosl farming
hinds In the counties named. Nearly all are
occupied with well cultivated farms. The
announcement of the commencement of this
wholesale batch of evictions creates great ex
citement among the rivorlunders , who ,
although expecting evictions , did .not antici
pate this sweeping serving of writs. Weaver
says that the threatened passago.ot the river
land bill over the president's veto hastens
the evictions , and has made land owners de
termined to regain entire possession of the
land before such un , occurrence. Lively
times nro expected.

considered sufllcieut to do the tunneling.
The tunnels will bo ISO feet below the sur
