Autliori/tng the governor to pardon two

Considerable time has been spent In dis
cussing and perfecting the Kaymond bank
ing bill , tlio features of which were given in
Tin : UIB : two weeks ago. It will probably
pass Ibis week. .
Much of the time of tlio scnato lias been
consumed In killing ou * bills. Among tbo
nioro important to meet this untimely fate
were Roche's bill to abolish the death pen
alty : Fuiick's bill prescribing tlio form and
Bi70 of election ticlfola ; Linn's bill to uliow
women to vote at niuulcip.il elections , and
TngKiirt's bill prohibiting the voting of
bonds to am in the construction of railroads.
The last named piovoked the sharpest de
bate of the session. This was ttie third time
woman suffrage bad : uet Its fate iu thia
senate.
Tbo herd and fcuco bill , which caused such
a lively tussle In Iho house , has been put on
the senate's ' general Jllc , which iusurot its
consideration.
Tlio soiiute committee has recommended
an appropriation of $1,003 for the state dairy
man's association.
The investigation of tbo state farm and
agricultural experiment station has con
tinued , but without making any develop-
lucuts of a sonsatioual sort. A bill has been
Intioduced lo separata these institutions ami
the ugrlculturul department from the stuto
university unrt establish an Industrial college
outside of the First congressional district ,
modeled sou owhatafter the plan of the lowit
agricultural college.
The liouso sallied down lo work the nast
week and transacted a largo amount of bus
iness. The most important measure that
passed the liouso was Senator Ransom's
valued policy insurance bill. This bill pro
vldcs that in all cases of total loss , tha
amount stated Iu the policy , and not the
value of the property destroyed , shall bo
the measure of damages , nnd whoir the In
sured or jwllcy holder is compelled to go to
luw to collect the insurance lie may also col
lect a reasonable altornoy fee as part of the
costs. Hoth of thesq provisions were
strongly opiwsod by a powerful Insurance
lobby , who persistently argued Umt the
passage of such a law would put a premium
ou arson and "light the torch of tlio Incen
diary In every corner of Ibo slatu. " The
members turned n deaf ear to such argu
ments and passo-1 the bill bv the strong vole
of 70 yeas to 7 nays. The negative voles
were e.isl by Herlin , Gardner and Cashing
of Douglas , Itunihum of Koya Pahn , Rayner
of GMieyeimo. White of Cass , and Hull of
Lancaster. The credit of putting tins bill
through belongs largely to tbo fa.nners. At a
special meeting of a , largo number of this
class ou Tunsiltiy evening , It was resolved to
bring this bill up and rush it through , nud
on Wednesday afternoon the programme
was carried out to. tlio letter. The fourteen
members who wore absent when the bill
passed , or dodged the issue , were Messrs.
Neve , O'Urlou , Snyder and McMillan of
Douglas. Hays of York , Hooper of Hall ,
Mattes of Otoo. Sweet of Merrick , Trucsdop
of Tliaynr , Ulller of JufTorsou , Klliott of
Ilarlun , Oiecn of Nanco , Collins of Cumliig ,

Tlio Hampton committee , consltlng of
Messrs , Hampton , Hunna , Johnson , Hirucy
nnd Cushiug , who were appointed to investi
gate thn iiuesiion of Miper-borvlro.iblo help ,
uiado thulr final report on Friday. They
llled n lengthy and detailed stntnmont of
abuses that have crept into the legislative
non-loo. Among other things they found
that about thiny clerks luul been appointed
in the cm-oiling mid engrossing rooms uttho
ucRlnnlnir of the session , when there was IU.
tloor notliiiif ; to do , and bovorclv criticised
Chairman JJrlnlr , of tills committee , for
yielding to the clamors of the horde of aspir
ants for positions , and making so many un.
Ki-cosbury appointments. The report closed
with n recommendation that forty clerks bo
iliuehargod , including cloven committed
cl-irks , mid seven from the enrolling and en-
BDsMiig rooms.

The house UccoueratoJ inlo a good nuturoil
iob. nud no nouibuucu of uru'cr was uum *
talncd for hours. The policy of the friends
of these holding sinecure positions appeared
lo bo lo wear out the reformers , but tin allj
they discovered that this motion would como
up under the rules the very llrst thing when
tuc house resumed business nnd concluded
to break the deadlock. Shortly nf tor 'J o'clock
the blockade was raised on motion of Culd-
well,1 nnd the question of discharging the ex
tra help put to n square vole ami carried by
n vole cf 71 lo 17. The seventeen members
who voted against discharging nuyof the
forty persons holding ninecure positions were
Messrs. Halter , Drink , Christy , of Dodge ,
Christy , of Clny. Kloldgrovo , Hanna , Hamp
ton , Home , McHrido. O'lirien , O'Sulllvan ,
Scovillo. Towlo. MeNlckle , Meeker , West-
over nnd Mr. Speaker. Hiuina and Hamp
ton voted "no" because they were members
of the committee ! on whom the disagreeable
tluty of dischnrglng the employes would de
volve.
The squabble over this queslion has given
a decided Impulse to the Yut/y bill
limiting the number of employes to
less than llfty and prescribing their
duties , nnd some luw of tbU kind will doubt
less bo enacted.
The opinion of Ihe supreme court aillrmltic
the constitutionality of the double-headed
submission bill , has set that question at rest.
Tlio bills now before the liouso proposing to
regulate or prohibit the liquor trafllo will nil
bo allowed to die n nnturnl death. Had the
submission bill been ilcrlaiud void n dcs *
pcriito effort would have beep made to pass
an iron-cl.ul prohibitory bill , modeled after
the Iowa luw , and such a measure was ac
tually Introduced by Uoprotcntnttvo Kverett
of Hurt. No bill of this character could have
been passed , but the effort would have demoralized -
moralized legislation and might have pro
duced n tie-up of Indefinite length.
Gilbert's usury bill , providing for tbo for
feiting of tlio principal of all notes drawing
Illegal interest , was killed. It only received
twenty-seven votes on llnal pass.ige , of
which twenty-one were farmers.
An cflort to extend the tlmo of payment on
school laud to January , 1000 , wns defeated in
the house. The bill passed the senate , but
the fanners gnt an idea U was going to
benefit speculators and the bill was lulled by
a vote of 74 to 19. Among the most Import
ant bills recommended for passage nro the
following :
Hy Ilnyncr Fixing rate of toll on all
bridges owned by private parties or corpora
tions. Tbo rates named by this bill are as
follows : One team IU cents , with n cents ad

The stage setting nt the Orfiml opet
liouso last night was materially difleroi
from that witnessed by audiences Iho pn
vlous nights of the week. Instead of th
Uthcopian comlque , the Shakespearian lrn [
cdlan , or Iho horse comedian , there were ei
circled upon tbo stage half a doren mluistci
of the gospel and literary pjopio of the citj

nua assembly , whioh was established last ful
Upon the stage were Rev. i > r. Durycn , of th
First Congregational church , Rov. Hurshr
of the First Presbyterian church ; Rov. 'I
M. House , of the First Methodist ; 0. 11
Hitchcock , of the Kvenlng World , J. 1-
Harkuess , of Council HlulTs.
The audltoriumof the theater wnsthroiige
with pcoiilo who were evidently Interests
iu the Cliautauqua movuiucut. It wus
literary mass mooting.
The Rov. T. M. House presided and lulrn
iluccd Ur. Duryca , who nmilo n vor ,
ublo and forcible address coucirning th
movement. Ho talked of the various asseui
lilies in the United Stales , ami said tha
there were some llfty-four in existence
that they were being extended throuchou
kuropo , and thut preparations were belni
made to introiluco and establish thorn h
Asia and Africa. Ho described the origitm
assembly at Cliautauqua Lake , Now York
told how it was established and how tin
grounds were purchased. The speaker nisi
g.ivo n vivid description ot the benefits of i
knowledge of literature , science , history , lau
guagc and art through the medium of the us
suuibllcs. The school teachers , during tlieii
summer vacation , required a pleasant spot ii
the woods where they could got n breath ol
fresh air , and be near a broolc or n
Btroam where their leisure vacation
days could bo advantageously devoted
to normal nnd bibical study ;
whore they could study good fellowship nnd
help each other in bettor accomplishments.
In order that , light might bo gotten out ol
the scriptures it was necessary that light be
upon the scriptures. The Chautauqua move
ment put light upon nearly ull tha good ac
complishments. Chnutauquu meant to give
people knowledge by inspiring manhood mto
youth and muking youth think. Ho uad met
two young girls nt Chnutnuqua l.iko who
were attending the assembly gathering ,
They were shop girls at Linn , Mass. They
had saved tholr pennies In order to got a
little knowledge by attending the assembly ,
It pleased him to grasp their coarse und
rough feminine hands. Ho found them to
tic brighter and truer than many ot
the delicate and dnliily. pwcet and
loyous appearing femininity that is fringed
n what they call society. Tlio speaker put
mch sarcastic stress on the last four words
> f the sentence that the applause was tu-
nultuous.
Rov. Mr. House then Introduced Rev. W.
f. Hnrshu , who spoke m glowing terms for
.he success of the ehuutauqun. He said thut
Dmuba and Council Uluffs had not lived In a
ovlng , matrimonial way that he desired , but
loped that the assembly woula bind them
sloser together. It was with great pleasure
.hat ho welcomed all good movements hero ,
ind wanted everything that was good to
: ome hero. Ho welcomed tlio chautuuiiua
m account of its intellectual tendencies ; i > e-
: ausc It stimulated intellect and friendship.
t was teaching men and women to improve
.heir minds by reading excellent books , iu-
itead of going to theaters and playing cards.
Mr. Hitchcock was the next orator Intro-
luccd , Ho said that ho was omj of tbe
.rustces . of the assembly , but felt lilto he had
> ecn a truant for ho hadn't done anything
nuch in the liioveuicnt , though he had
) oomcd it in his paper. Ho drifted upon the
lUbject of the mighty dollar.
' 'I am glad the mighty dollar has been
ipenking. " said the Rev. Mr. House. "I'll
; lve you people a. chance to got rid of some
if your surplus dollars. Will the gontlo-
nanly ushers please take up a contribu-
lonJ"
The contribution was asked to defray the
ixpcnscs of holding the meeting.
J. 13. Harkness , of Council Bluffs , gave a
ow facts in regard to the establishment of
ho assembly without much money. IIo
tated that It was virtually done on check
, nd on the reputation of the trustees. About
10,000 had already been oxpenued ; $15,000
is on hand anil $20,000 more was needed.
'ho trustees wanted an ampituoator which
/ould seat 0,000 people. It would cost
10,000. Water supply was needed and also
, restaurant building. All thcso improvo-
iicnts would cose money : For the fall season
athcrlng the trustea-i , ho said , had secured
ho best talent attainable , and would have
mo of the most attractive Htc-
ary and 'scientific meeting In the

ness of thn leather's gloiy , the express
imago of His person" Is spoken of by Hob-
orison as the "one perfect bit of melody from
heaven. "
Hut notwithstanding the admiration which
ml unite m puytlig Christ , the injunction ol
tholext Is not thereby fulfilled. The ex-
mnplo which Ho lias left is not alone to bo
admired , but to bo followed.
The dean then divided his discourse of the
examples of Christ into three parts.
First The subordination of Christ in his
lowly birth uml life In the vlllaeo homo
nnd the shop ut Nazareth teaches the duty of
obodlnnco not only in the laws of God , but
also to tbo Intuition of our destiny.
Second The example of Christ's sympathy
Is u perpetual Incentive to those who dwell
In this weary , wicked world.
\Vo wonder where the soctl of this beauti
ful flower of sympathv came from ? It came
from God through Christ. It is planted In
human hearts und lives In human lives and
bi lugs forth fruits of character.
Third The example of Ctilrst's endurance
Is noteworthy. Think what Ho endured in
ttie fulfillment of righteousness and the
doing of His leather's will. All should learn
to endure ns good soldiers of Christ ami so
like Him Und a homo ami happiness eternally
in heaven.
A few words wore then spoken bv the
dean In exhortation lo the Guurds that they
might be valiant soldiers and victorious in
the Holds of moral and spiritual endeavor.

"Tha people have not been fairly repre

the press , " said a large real estate holder
nml proniinont citizen , as ho buttonholed
Tun Hue representative , ' 'and I want thu
people to know just the plain , naked facts
about It. There is not u person living east
of Twenty-fourth street , and between J
street and Syndicate park who wants
any grading done. We have n natural
level particularly suited f.or residence prop
erty , ami accessible lo ull streets leading to
nnd from us. Just think what they intend to
do. Away over across that hole , nearly a
hundred tcet deep , where the county com
missioners graded Twentieth street , thu
engineer nnd citj' council want to cut it
down eight fcotnnoro , Just to fill up that
hole nnd then miiKo us pay for it. Thev
won't ' ilo it If 1 can help it. and I think
I can Follows \vho \ have worthless lots at
thu bottom of a hole m the ground , have pe
titioned the couticll for u grade on the streets
cast of Twenty-fourth street and extending
from N to Syndicate park. The object of this
is to compel us viho have good lots north of.I
street to pay for filling in uml grading the lots
between J ami N streets. A grade such
as is intended 'would ruin our lots , will
amount to absolutA'conllscation of much of

1. T.
T.Liberal
Liberal is in Kansas , and its twin sk
tor , Boor City , is just over the line 11
No Man's Land. Kansas being n pro
lubition state , the thirty citizens went
over to Beer City to "irrigate , " and tin
consequence was that inuny ' 'tender
feet" wore planted in this portion o
the country. The Post-Dispatch corrc
spondent was at Liberal when the boon
was at its height , and when there won
. ' 1,000 inhabitants in the place. A visi
to the pluco a few weeks ago revealed
the fact that the then booming town is
now but a forest of emptv houses am
bhwtedihopes. . The town ( lied ubornin' ,
but while she lasted was a great one.
During the month of May. 1S83 , am'
for several weeks in April , Liberal wa :
the best advertised city in Kansas. Tin
Itoek Island railway had just built in It :
the town , mill the Rock Island Land
Townsito company boomed it for all il
was worth. The consequence was thai
hundreds , aye. thousands of people
from all over the country flocked to the
new cldorado of the west. It is needless -
less to say that most of them returned
wiser , but by far poorer than when
they wont to that place.
The one great drawback to Liberal
was the luck of water , which had to be
hauled in wagon or cars from the
Cimarron river , and on HH arrival at
Liberal was worth live cents a bucket
This one fact ruined the city. The prin
cipal trade of the place was with over
land freighters , and the men who
brought in bullalo bones and bold them.
Tlio teamsters had to pay five cents a
bucket for water to water their stock ,
and they quit the town on this account ,
and thus virtually ruined it. But while
il lasted Liberal was a "dandy. "
'
Some crank urohiuitioiiiBls'in Liberal
caused the liquor law of Kansas to be
rigidly enforced , and this built up Boor
C'ity. Beer City is about two and a
half miles from Liberal , and over the
line in No .Man's Land. During Iho
boom days of Iho Kansas lown from
fifteen to twenty hacks and busses did a
thriving' business hauling passengers
from Liberal to Beer City at5 cents a
head. On their arrival at the hitler
place , to use a western expression , they
could "irrigalo" in beer at 50 cents a
botllo. Being in No Man's Land the
liquor dealer did not pay license either
lo Uncle Sam or Kansas , and thus Iho
profit was immense , and as the place
was wholly nrndo up of saloons and
bawdy houses , it derived its name of
"Beer City. "
The result was nightly revels ,
drunken struct nghts , highway robbery
mid all other sorts of lawlessness.
There was no law except the law of
might , backed up by six-shooters and
Winchesters. Cowboys raced madly
lown the street shooting revolvers and
veiling like fiends , and although many
nf the buildings of the lown arc riddled
with bullets there were not so many
sudden "takings off" as u person would
naturally suppose. Boor City was not
? atislied , and to bo a , well regulated
nestorn cyclone of u place it was nec
essary to start n graveyard or "planting
ground'as the unlives termed it and
, heir first victim was a cruxy painter.
During the early days of the boom
Charley Myers , an opium cater , u mov-
) hino ( lend as well as a whisky gurglur ,
iViis attracted to Iho place. His homo
vas at Wiehila , , and lie was considered
.ho finest landscape painter in the
vhole stale of Kansas , bnl his bad
in bits ruined him.
Soon after his arrival at Liberal ho
iriftcd over into Beer City\vhero liquor
vas olenty , nnd there ho became a puL-
ic nuisance. Ho haunted the saloons
ind bogged drinks from every one ho
not. Ho was a regular "bar lly , " and
is tiuoh became noted. Finally , dospilo
ho warnings of iho proprietor , Myers
oltlod down to simply inflicting his
irosoneo on ono biiloon , and thereby
net Ins death.
Ono day , getting tired of the cra/.y
Milliter's company , this bartender shot
he whole too of Ills head olT as ho stood
oiling over the bar. When questioned
.s lo why ho done this murderous act ,
ho liquor inr.n said :
"It was an accident. I was looking
, t my revolver nnd t wont oil. He
fiis a nulfcnni'o. anyhow. " The lust
untciicu expressed nil. Myers was a
iiitsanco and was killed lo gel rid Of
ils importuning for drinks and opium ,
iofitartod the list for Iho new grave
ard , and the next day all the people of
lie lown , including the thirdly from
liberal , Hie gamblers , the miloon men.
, 'oinon of loose morals , and cowboys
urncd out on mtisso to colobrnio Iho
rut killing and help to "plant" Myers
: i the now graveyard. Il would not do
j lot him stay lliero alone , no sovonil
lore worn MJiit to Uoon him company.
"Broncho Charley" was a nice young
mn and linilcd from Texas. Ho was
ulo. but luul peculiar habits. Ho
rossod well , from a gambler's sland-
olnt , rode well , shot well , and lalkod
K > much. He was haiulnoino and a
mshor. Ho soon had a 'Volid" girl ,
ho kopl him in spending money , flo
blowed" himself in the btiluons and
ilkod loudly of his "bad record" bunk
i Texas. One night lliero wns a couple
I pislol hhols hoard in Iho house in
hich Charley' * girl resided. The
iixl day the populnnco turned out and
lined 'tho Texas sport , line toggery ,
istols , boolrf and all. No ono over
now who killed him and very few
ired lo inquire.
Amos Bush was Iho boss "lorror" and
in Iho lown. Ho had a killing record ,
id was painfully uneasy for four that
Is ono talent would bo overlooked. On
1 possible occasions ho paraded his
oat prowess before the people apt !
rrorlzod the town. Thori no took to
Iglnvay robbery , nnd many was the
ndorioot he made "hands un" while
3 robbed him.
This now * coming to the oars of a

About this time Liberal began <

The recent unfortunate complication !

ius and Ilcckols instead of by mon win

Iho bcundals of European court life in
recent years American women have
played no inconspicuous part.
In the winter of 1871. at a ball in St ,
Petersburg , Iho Grand Duke Nicholas
Constantinowich , a cousin of the csKir ol
all the Russius , met and became des
perately infatuated with Fannie Lour ,
one of the most dashing and unscrupu
lous adventuresses that over turned the
head of a sill.v prince or set up n job on
u wealthy bnronot. He was a big ,

full ot romance and adventure , and no

ccsbful in turning the heads of

Though their principal business seems
lo bo tlio belling of liquor to the un-

means tlio most censurable character
istic of thn Covlngton riiinsnllcr. lie is
not content with draining the last dime
of the victim who frequents his den ,
but seems lo delight in doing his dupes
personal Injury after having secured
the lust dollar of which ho may bo
possessed ,
But a few days ago an attorney of
Dakota Clly visited this town , and after
spending what few shekels lie had in
ono of the "dives" for such is the
appropriate name of Ihe best of thorn
ho was pounced upon without cause or
provocation and brutally beaten by a
keeper of ono of the hull-holes that
answers as a "business enterprise" of
Covington.
The county attorney was consulted in
regard lo issuing a warrant for Ihoarreet
of the scoundrel who made the assault ,
but the same trouble that is oncnuntorcd
in all olforts al punishing the evil-doers
of this place was mot. There wasnoovi-
deneo obtainable that the allornoy had
been molested , more lhan iha fact lhat
his optics wore draped In mourning.
Tills might have resulted from coming
in contact with a stray lamp post for
aught the courl knew or Iho attorney
could prove. Ho was able and willing
to swear that ho received the injury tit
"Barney's place. " Barney , ns well as
half a score of boats anil bums who
loaf about his place , wore equally able
and willing toswcur lo the contrary.
What could be donoV
Nothing.
This fully accounts for Iho deplorable
condition of things hero to-day.
There is no way of reaching and pun
tailing the dare devils who to-day de
grade and down Dakota county. In-
slead of showing Ihe slightest regard
for law , by which Ihoy arc supposed lo
bp governed , lliojopenly boast of their
disregard. Thisj' perhaps , is duo to
their ignorance , for in all my travels , 1
have never mot a more ignorant and
mulevalent class of wrotchcb than will
bp found dcalitir ( out the poison at the
different dens i i the pluce.

what steps would probably be luken to
call a halt on these followoikHod the
information that so far us that genllc-
man was concerned no ' 'desperate" '
moans arp likely lo bo resorted to.
He claims that t > oiuo uf Iho "lop fam
ilies of Ihe town , " who have inatorially
contributed to Covington's notoriety ,
are guilty of hypocrisy. Ho buys that
he can name several of the so-culled
"good" mon of the town that tire to-day

ngo they would have gladly disposed offer
for & ( ( } ( ) . He openly declares that not-
wilhriiunding their prolondod aversion
Lo saloons and houses of ill-fame , Ihoy
secretly glory in their daily increase.
The atlornoy further stated that
ivhile he , as well us ulinost everybody
jlse. is well aware that the saloon men
jf this plueo violate the Sunday law. ho
egurdod the violation of no greater
mporlunco than numerous other vlola-
, ions of which the best people nro
