iJnn.l The mannnr In which the state is bo-
Infl bled by the leeches Is Illustrated by a
coso that 1ms Just coma to light. Among tbo
bills before the house Is ono to approprlnto
C14,203 to pay 130 persons for animals Itlllod
liy order ot the live stock commission In the
years 1835 , 1830 and ISSTjalso several individ
ual claims of a similar character. It seems
that a couple of Lincoln , attorneys have been
busily at work drumming up claims of this
Iclnd to proBccuto on n " < llvy , " and nro now
at work lobbying for their passage. It seems
that they have found enough of those cases
to make It necessary to have their proposi
tions printed In circular form. A constitu
ent of Senator Lindsay has oont him printed
documents received from the Lincoln Job
bers , and the following copies tell their own
Btory :

Boaa 8 tout's Impmlenco.
LINCOLN , .Nob. , March 20. f Special Tele
gram to TUB EKE. ] The senators who have
pledged themselves to stand for retrench
ment arrived at an understanding in time to
defeat the Beatrice appropriation of fJO.OOO
this afternoon. It has been decided to sub
ject the Hastings appropriation of $30,4.00 to
heroic surgery also. The Hastings hospital
( or tho'insano has ono building and Norfolk
Jiospital two now wings , making three-
buildings available for insane. When fur
nished they will relieve the Lincoln hospital ,
nnd the exorbitant demands of the hitter
\vlll bo put under the knlfo when their turns
come. The senators have no disposition to
cripple these institutions , and such minor
buildings or appliances as nro absolutely in-
ilispensiblo , will be put Into the general ap
propriation bills.
The action of the bouse In restoring Boss
Btout's claim for $33,800 for interest on war
rants , has arouscM Intense Indignation , and
the opponents of this rank Jobbery threaten
to defeat the whole appropriation Dill rather
than pass this Item. It now appears tha
Stout had this claim in a bill by itself , anil
risked Cady to introduce it , but ho declined
to have anything to do with it. Cady says
the claim then was $32,000. The bill
disappeared , but the claim bobbed up in tbo
finance committee as $35,800 , and by some
unknown hocus-pocus the committee put it
Jnto the general appropriation bill. Tha
scheme Is a shrewd one. If approved in com
mittee of the whole itvvill require only a
majority of the members present to adopt
the committee report. There Is a big sired
suspicion that quite a number of members
nro likely to bo absent at that tlmo if cot
pheckumted , but the foes of this job will
frustrate the scheme by a call
of the house and a vote that
will put ovcry member on record. Stout
was stationed out In the corridor during iho
ilght and by n well regulated system sent
for member after member. On tholr return
from the interviews , thcso members were
Stopped nt regular distances by other lobby
ists with with seductive tales.
This Is but a sample of the disgraceful
scones being enacted hero. The onslaught
on the sonata has already begun , prominent
nmong the assailants being ox-Governor But
ler , but Senators Kecltloy and Sutherland ,
who nro leading the repelling force , believe
they can depend on twenty or twcnty-flvo
votes to meet the assault with n soliu front.
Baker's Hharp Practice.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 20. [ Special to Tnn
BKI : . | Bakor's sharp practice while occu
pying the chair in committee of the whole
to-day is u matter of muuh comment. Hall
moved to take up the maximum tariff bill ,
which has boon a speninl order in control of
the author for several weeks , and Bukor put
the motion and while the ayes were much
louder and stronger than the noes , Bukor
arbitrarily declared the motion lost. Loud
calls for division were beard from all parts
* f the house even before the result was an-
'Jouhccd , but the chairman said it was too
late and refused to reverse his ruling. When
tbo house adjourned an excited crowd of
farmers gathered uround the member from
Jefferson nnd expressed tholr opinion of bis
arbitrary action in most emphatic terms.
Protection Against Itoodlors.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Maroli 20. | Spocl.il to TUB

heroic measures to protect themselves fron :
being bored and trampled under foot by the
hungry boodlers , Ono of them has warned
the doorkeeper not to admit ox-Governor
Butluv to thu floor without permission of the

rule will bo enforced as to other hungry
vandals. _

LINCOLN , Nob. , March 00. fSpuclaltoTni
IEK.J Tha ilrst effect of the senatorial cau
bus In the Interest of retrenchment was tin
defeat this morning of a bill passed by tin
bouse to allow the claim of Pawnee count ;
fur $170 for expanses In collecting cnrtali
taxos. The several bills amending the lav
povurnln ? counties under township orgnnlza
lion were pasted , and the senate wont iati
Committee of the whole to consider the pro
posed constitutional amend mont permittini
the Investment of ihoBtntapermanent suhoo
fund In registered school district bonds.
Cornell championed the measure am
tatcd that within two years tlu'ro would bi
tluo ou school lauds anil payable to this fum
About fS.OOO.OOO. The state has found dial
cully In pluulug these funds profitably In tin
fttBt , und the proposition now is to open i
now avenue oJ investment.
Nosbitt I would like to know how man ;
district school funds Iho ( juntleman fron
Crorry Is interested In.
Coiioll I inn not Interested In ono lota
directly or Indirectly , but I am interested U
the welfare of the 5100,000 school children o
Nebraska.
JCorva' said there was no money In th <
/mid , r.inl there would oou bo county bcud
for sale. Ho bollovod it unwlso to fritter
away the school fund In Insecure district
bonds.
Conoll said the reason there was no
money in the fund was because the ntato
treasurer had gone east , bought up Nebraska
bonds nnd allowed the eastern holders to
slip off Interest coupon * to the amount of 1 , 2
or per cent , which Is now going Into their
pockets without dollar Invested.
Ncsbltt explained that the framers
of the constitution nlmod to limit
the investment of the school
fund to such securities as would bo finfo. Ho
bollovcd It a wlso policy , and. ho protested
against the attempt to break down the safe
guards. Thcw school district bonds are
bnlng hawked about for purchasers , and are
being sold at 75 to 80 cents on the dollar.
This measure socks to hold up Nebraska by
the throat and say It must take securities
which Wall street will not accept except at a
heavy discount.
Conner was a mcmborof the constitutional
convention and know that only after a long
struggle was it tnado possible to invest the
school fund In county bonds. Ho asked if
the Btoto had over lost a dollar Invested In
county bonds. Ho asked if any gentleman
know of a dollar lost by an investor in regis
tered school district bonds. Ho had boon in
formed that the late state treasurer had re
fused to buy county bonds on the plea
that ho could not pay the premium
asked. That treasurer , said tbo senator ,
had tha money In bank paying nlm interest
nnd ho walked out of oOlco with $100,000.
What Is the object of registering school dis
trict funds I Is It to glvo authoritative ovl-
donco that , they have boon issued In compli
ance with all the legal requirements ! Tha
speaker defied the opposition to point to n
dollar doposltcd in registered school district
bonds if properly issued. Ho challenged
any member to show that a lobbyist nas
been urging the passage of this bill. On the
other hand , lobbyists have been persistently
asking for the defeat of this bill. Wall
street prefers city bonds because they can
bo had in largo blocks , but tbero is no class
of bonds so eagerly sought by small dealers
as these registered district bonds.
Cornell denied that tha school bonds of
his district were being hawked about , and
assorted that they could bo sold at par.
Ncsbltt opposed an amendment ta
uubslltuto the bonds of metropolitan
and first class cities In the place of regis
tered school district bonds. Ho asserted that
an Omaha lobby had been urging the pas
sage of this bill , while a syndicate of Lincoln
bond purchasers had pushed through the bill
to change the law as to who shall issue
school bonds. The bill under consideration
is to unload upon the state the private in
vestments of individuals.
Nosbitt's amendment was lost by a tic
vote , and an amendment by Conner was
adopted barring school bonds issued prior ta
the passage of the act. The bill was recom
mended for passage by n vote of 14 to 13.
' AFTEUNOON SESSION.
The senate passed the bill to let the state
printing on contract In .Job lots and wont
into committee of the wholo. The first thing
reached was the bill to appropriate $39,030
for land nnd now buildings for the Beatrlco
Institution for feeble-minded children.
Senator Keckloy moved the Indefinite
postponement of tbo bill.und asserted that
the time had coma to discriminate more care
fully in making appropriations for state In
stitutions. Ho would not favor a measure
to cripple the Institutions In their proper
maintenance , but almost ovcry institution
comes to oaoh successive legislature with a
demand for now buildings , und it is tlmo to
call a halt. Hera Is a request for $17,000 foi
a 170 Ocro farm. The children of Beatrice
are not qualified to engage in farming , and it
will bo a losing investment to buy higl
priced land to employ children.
Senator Ncsbltt took similar ground , sayIng -
Ing that all these imbecile children needed
was a place to make mud pics , and ho fur
ther argued that when the parents of sucb
children were able to provide for them they
should not be made a burden upon the
state.
Senator Funck of Beatrice made a gal
lant fight for the bill , explaining the
work and the needs of the institution , and
was supported by Senator Lindsay.
Senator Wolboch , of Grand Island , tried
to delay conclusions by moving that action
bo postponed until tha committee on finance
should report the aggregate of the approprla
tion bill as directed by yesterday's rosolu
tion. Senator Raymond , at Lincoln , who is
chairman of that committee , promptly seconded
ended the motion , but it was almost a !
promptly defeated. * Raymond then moved
an amendment to strike out the $17,000 foi
land.
Senator Ransom said ho was not surprised
at Raymond's course. It lias got around tc
that time in tbo session when Lancaster ha ;
a hand in tha basket and trying to pull oul
all she can. In addition to this $59,000 the
Beatrice institution asks for 133.000 for main
tenance. Hero is nn item of 82,000 for furni
ture. Why , the way things have been done
that's not enough to make the acquaintance
of the dealers.
The amendment was voted down and the
bill was indefinitely postponed by a vote ol
21 ayes.
Ransom then moved that the senate consider
sidor no more house rolls until the npproprla
tions bills nro all in.
Lindsay raised the point of order that tha
committco of the whole could not take thli
action , and the chair sustained the point.
Runsoui appealed from the decision , dcclar
ing it an outrage in the senate , and a nolsj
squabble ensued between Ransom , Lindsa ;
and Raymond. The chair's decision was re
vorsed. The senate wont into an acute spasn
of filibustering , during which motions am
points of order rained thick and fast wlthou
receiving attention from the chair.
Raymond rose to a point of privilege an <
repelled the Imputations cast upon his in
tcgrity by Ransom when ho insinuated Lan
caster county was trying to raid the state
treasury.
Ransom said ho had been hero before nm
had a right to say that Lancaster countj
filches moro appropriations "than any othe
county in the state. .Ho said Raymond couli
take down his words if ho pleased and tr ;
him before the bar of the scuate.
The gentlemen were rapped to order am
cooled down. Ransom's motion was defeatec
and the committee resumed its work.

llousn.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 20 , [ Special toTn
HER. ] The morning session was largely cot
sumcd In discussing senate Qlo 10 , a bill t
abolish the live stock commission. Atnonc
mcnls Intended to retain tUo veterinary sui
goon , the clause relating to quarantine an
llvo stock Inspectors at stock yards , as no\
prescribed , were hi the hanas of the printer
und the bill was made a special order for th
afternoon.
Tlio following senuto bills wcro passe
without amendment i

clnisu or condemnation by the United State
of snub u block of hind In the city ot Omah
as mny hereafter bo selected by the gencm
government for tlio site of a postofllce an

A bill by Linn providing for the taxing <
sleeping and dining cars.
Ail effort to brim : up the Hall mnxlinui
tariff Dili for discussion was defeated.
Hall's ' maximum tariff bill was taken up I
ooinmitUxi oC the whole.
Hall moved an amendment , empowerln
the railroad commission by a foar-iLfths vet
to raise the established ralo whenever it I
proven that tbo existing ralo U not rernui
crativo to the roods , but authorizing a mot
majority to reduce the rate when found to I
excessive or exorbitant ,
The amendment was adopted and the bl !
reported back with u recommendation tun
it do pass.
Senate flic 10 , the bill repealing the llv
stock oomtnis on , was taken up.
An amendment by Cor bin providing for re
Ulnlng tUo itaui veloriunry surgeon , ti
quarantine feature nnd the clause tn the
present law providing for llvo stock In-
spcclprs at stock yards , was under considera
tion , nnd after being amended ln < i few par
ticulars of no special Importance , was
adopted nnd the bill as amended was ordered
to n third reading ,
Tbo committee nroso nnd reported the bill
back and Rnyncr moved to Indefinitely post
pone the bill , claiming that the provision
authorizing the state veterinary surgeon to
go on the farm of n citizen and Kill his
"block without compensation , Is clearly un
constitutional ,
Baker took the same vlow.
Corbln snld that It did not appear to him
m that light. Whlla the state could not
take property for public uio without com- ,
ponsailon , there was no constitutional ob
jection to the state destroying property that
is dangerous to the public wcllorc.
Rnyner's motion to postpone tbo bill was
lost 11 to 80.
The report of the committco was adopted.
The house again took up house rolls 4S3
nnd 434 the appropriation bills.
Caldwell moved to insert the Item of
$35,781 for Interest on state warrants in the
general appropriation bill in favor of Boss
Stout , nnd a llvo hour debate ensued.
Cady denounced the schema as the osscnco
of dishonesty , and declared that ho would
vote against the entire appropriation bill if
this item was Included , and was answered by
"Hero , too , " from nil over the bouse.
Scovlllo made a powerful and convincing
speech against the motion ,
Caldwell nnd Baker defended the claim ,
Gilbert charged Baker with always being
on the sldo of the lobby , nnd nn exciting col
loquy ensued.
Tlio final vote resulted , yeas 49 , nays 42 ,
and the amendment carried.
The opponents of the measure hope to bo
able to strika it out on n roll call to-morrow ,
nnd a stubborn fight is sure to follow. The
issue Is uncertain , but bound to bo close.
The appropriation of $80,000 for the ex
penses of the llvo stock agents was stricken
out and $10,000 for expenses of the state
veterinarian substituted.
Hall moved to ndd $ ' 10,000 for Insurance of
state buildings , which was lost , and $320 to
cancel existing policies inserted.
Adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow.
Legislative Gossip.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 39. [ Special to Tun
Ben. ] Hall's maximum tariff bill , as modi
fied , wont .through the house without any
opposition except from Olmstcad , who
wanted the bill road. As the measure cov
ered about ono hundred pages and was httlo
more than n classification of articles of com
merce , the request was not granted.
Baker tried to get in Tom Konnard's claim
for $11,000 for alleged services rendered the
state in collecting certain sums from the
general government years ago. Cady , as
usual , was ready with a little substitute ,
which included other claims , and the ICcn-
nard claim was lost in the deal.
The sonata killed the Corbin bill to punish
assessors for undervaluation of property , and
the companion bill limiting the basis of taxa
tion to one-half the prevailing rates.
By striking out the stock commission the
house saved the state a round $00,000 besides
the innumerable "claims" that would soring
up to vex the future legislators.
THE KOYAD JAPS.
They Attract Considerable Attention
and Scorn to Ijiko It.
The announcement made by the morning
papers yesterday that a party of Japs of
royal blood would pass through Omaha in
the afternoon , on route from San Francisco
to Washington and Now York , led many
people to stroll down to the Burlington
depot nt the hour for the arrival of the train.
They were not disappointed. The pilgrims
from the hind of the mikado were ou board ,
and during the few minutes the train stopped
in Omaha strolled about the depot and plat
forms , clvlng the sight-seers ample oppor
tunity to satisfy their curiosity.
In dross the men were very English , being
clad principally in tweed suits and fore and
aft caps. They smoked cigarettes inces
santly , and so far from being displeased with
the gaze of the "vulgar herd , " took it good-
naturedly , and even seemed to enjoy It.
The four ladies of the uarly were dressed
according to Rcdfcrn , although an Omaha
girl who stood by declared that the dross of
the princess was an atrocious fit. They
dressed their hair A la Psycho and looked en
tirely American except as to their faces.
The party consisted of the Count and
Countess Sowa , the Marquis and Marchioness
Maoda , Mr. Baitan , master of ceremonies to
his royal hichness and nis wife , the mikado ,
Lieutenant Yoshio , commander of the navy ,
and his wife , Mr. Kato , of the royal house
hold. Dr. Mlaura , physician to the mikado.
' Lieutenant Yoshio was the only member
of the embassy who can speak English in
telligibly , but ho speaks tho. language flu
ently , and took great pleasure in answering
tt > o questions put to him la a continuous
stream by the newspaper reporters.
Tlio party , bo said , sailed from Japan on
the 10th of February und arrived in San
Francisco on the dth Inst. After a pleasant
visit in the city of tbo Golden Gate they
came on cost The party is traveling princi
pally for pleasure , incidentally examining
the navies of the different countries they
vis't. ' From Omaha they will go to Wash
ington , and from there to Now York , whore
they will board ship on the Oth of April and
sail for Paris , where they will visit the ex
position.
Lieutenant Yoshio has visited America on
'several occasions , but the other members of
the party breathe the ozone of Uncle Sam-
uol's domain for the first time. They are de
lighted with what they have seen and greatly
surprised to find that "tho people of these
United States have reached such a high de
gree of civilization. "
On the llth of last month the mikado , by
royal decree , gave to Japan its first constitu
tion , which entirely changes the form of
government , making it similar to that of
England.
The men of the party are all small la stat
ure nnd very ordinary-looking people , in
deed.

The mayor was also soon and asked what
ho thought of the present situation , and ho
replied that ho saw no change , everything
was gliding along ns placidly and smoothly

bended no change or trouble.
When nskt-d whether ho would moot the

"And you decline to give mo an idea of the

"Yes Just now , but you coma along nnd

spoke In a peculiarly impressive way
that presages a very black eye for the saloon
keepers when they meet him.
ns Whisky Sellers.
Mayor Broatch has Issued the following
which is addressed to License Inspector
Turubull , and which is calculated to cover
the liberal sale of whisky by druggists :
"I am In receipt of complaints from saloon
keepers that some druggists are selling liq
uors by the drink , nnd are not complying

"Wo sympathize with the fooling1 which
often leads citizens' to boast that no
children born in this country need grow
up in ignorance , , nnd yet it is a fact that
many people who have learned to road
and write have navor taught them

from catarrh , consumption , bronchitis ,

read till his eyes dropped outhow these
and many other diseases have been

lesson to himself and test the virtues
of this great medicine , liis time would
bo thrown away.
, Major Dennis * HorseBlanket. .
Bailiff Newburg , of Judge Hope well's
court , sawed a horse with Major Dennis yes
terday morning and rather got a way with
the old gentleman. . The affair Droko out in
open session and proved to bo quite an amus
ing episode. It seems that the door
obstinately refused to stay closed ,
and every tlmo it swung ajar the major
could fool a tiny draught filrting with his sil
ver locks. Ho would motion the bailiff to
protect him by keening the portcullis shut
tight. Four or five times the operation was
repeated. Finally , Nowberg became
weary of walking back and forth
Just to fiIcaso ) the major nnd
humorously remarked with a Swedish
twinkle in his cold blue cyothatho would got
him a horse blanket to put on.
Suddenly Dennis jumped to his feet and
addressing the court said : "Your honor , I
have been insulted by this bailiff. "
"In what manner ? " asked the Judge.
"Ho says that ifldon'tliko the draught

About Boiling Clothes'
and Disease-Breeding Germs
pr > pj. M. Lassing , in an
article in American Analyst ,
says : " The dirt and all
soap must be'entirely re
moved from th'e ' interstices
of the clothesf09nd all mi
crobes must bo destroyed.
The only and easiest way to
do this -is by heating the
water in which the clothes
are contained to the boiling
_ point. The boiling water ,
by constant self-agitation , is forced through the inter
stices of the fabrics , and thus cleanses them from dirt and
disease-breeding microbes as they can be cleansed in no
other way , and wwin any manner injuring the fabric. "
James Pyle's Pearline will wash in hot or cold ,
hard or soft water , and by any of the so-called " new
labor-saving methods ; " but for the easiest and best way
'of washing , refer to the directions for washing by boil
ing given on back , of each packar/c of Pearline.

TELLING FIGURES > H
are the arguments we have always used to influence trade and these
telling figures have always brought us the customers , and we will al
ways depend on them for the biggest share of the clothing trade. Our
business has been built up on the plan of low prices and we mean to
continue on the same plan , Our stock this season is unlimited and this
gives the buyerij unlimited choice. We display hundreds of styles of
spring suits. Here are a few of the bargains we start the season with
.
One lot of nice all wool Cheviot Suits , lined with good farmer's satin ,
at $4.75. This is an honest suit , well made. At no time has such a
suit been sold at less than $7.5O.
One lot of really nice cassimere suits , a neat dark mixture at $5.9O.
This suit is lined with good serge , made substantially and we recom
mend it for excellent wear.
Wo have always had the reputation for the bo3t line of woll-mado medium priced suits
say at $8 , 59 and $10. Knowing that the great majority of cuatomors prefer that price , we
have always taken pains to give the greatest possible value that could be put into a suit
at that price. The line of $8 , $9 and $10 suits which we display this season is far ahead
of anything shown formerly. Wo unhesitatingly claim that with every suit you buy of
us at that price you save at least from $5 to $6. Wo have this season added to our line of
§ 10 suits an extraordinary bargain in the shape of a splendid corkscrew suit. The mate
rial is all worsted and of very fine quality , lined with best farmer satin. Wo have them
in sacks and frocks , all sizes , from 35 to 42. The suit is of good weight and will make an
excellent dross suit. ' At ten dollars wo pronounce it the greatest bargain ever offered , and
we guarantee it is in every respect as good as any suit for which other houses are asking
$16 or SIS.
Price means nothing until you see the goods. We want every careful buyer to take time tc examine our gat
nients and note every detail o lining , trimming and finish.
MAIL ORDERS Receive prompt attention and \va send samples and rules for measuring on application.
