LINCOLN , April 4. Tlio following is the full text of Governor tThnycr's i reasons for vetoing senate lllo No. 10. STATE OP NKIIIUSKA , Kxr.ctnivn Dr.rjmi- wr.NT , LINCOLN. Nob. , Aprils , 1830. On this Bd ilny of April , 1S > S9 , I lllovltli the secre tary of state of Nebraska , senate ilio No. 10 cnlltcd , "An net to rcK ] > ni chapter 4 of tha Inws of 1887 , designated In the compiled statutes of 18S7 ns articles 2 , of chnpcr 4 , ana to provide for tbo protection of the health of the domestic nnlmals of the stnto from con tagious nndjnfccllous diseases , " without my npprovnl , nnd fllo hcrowlth my objections to the Runio , which nro ; 1. Article 2 , chapter 4 , compiled ( itntutcs of 5SS7 , provides un effective quarantine against the shipment into this stnto of southern cuttle. This net repeals Unit stntuto and In n tmbslltuto for the sumo , nnd purports to give quarantine protection which It falls to do. U'ho statute of 1837 llxos a iienalty in the Bum ot Irom 5100 to $5,000 for nny persons or corporations which violate the quarantine established by Inw. This provision Is en- tlroly omitted in this hill nud gives the stnto votoriiinrlim uo power to enforce tlio govern ing quarantine against persons or corpora tions , leaving the railroads frco to Hood the ntato with southern cattle to infect the herds of Nebraska , That this provision of the law of 18S7 has boon a public blessing , nnd that its repeal would bo a public calamity , needs no argument. I nm certain that tlio effect of tills unforturato chance in the liuv must Imvo been overlooked by thn lecisluture or it could never hnvo received its sanction. 2. ] ( / authorizes tlio lulling nnd destruction of private property nnd makes no provision for compensating the owner , lu tills respect it is In direct viola tion of ucclion 21 , of article lJof the con stitution , which provides that "tho property of no person slmll be taken or ( lamngcd for B jiubllo use without Just compensation thoro- lor. " 8 , There is n section in this bill approurlnt- ing the suia of 310,000 for cnrryingout its pro visions. If this not were otherwise valid , It Vrould bo wholly inopcratlvo.unless this appro priation is nvaiiablo to carry it Into effect. SJut the most cursory examination reveals the fact that the section appropriating this money is wholly void , nnd for two very good reasons , viz ; ono of which Is , that the appro priation is not clearly expressed in tlio title , in fact , it is not expressed at nil. The other is , that this bill originated in the senate - ate , and under the constitution nil bills ap propriating money mustorlginato In the house of representatives. In this rospect. therefore , this -not Is in contravention of the provis ! ions of sections 0 and 11 , of article 3 , of the constitution , of which section 0 reads as fol lows : "Any bill inny originate m either house of the legislature , except bills appro priating inonoy , which shall originate only In the house of representatives. " If it bo claimed that the amendment making this ap propriation , put on the hill by the house , originated in und was treated by the house ns n bill , I answer that it was introduced in the liouio in violation of article 8 , section 4 , oLtho constitution , which declares that after the expiration of forty days of the session no bill or Joint resolution of the nature of a bill shall l > u introduced , unless the governor shall by special message call the attention of the legislature thereto. But it is a senate bill. It comes to mo ns sonata Die No. 10 , with the following cortlllcato.upon it. "I cortlfy that the within act originated in the senate , und passed the senate March 23 , 1SS9. " WAI.TBII M. SHELBY , Secretary of the Senate. " If I approved this bill , it takes its place ntnony the statutes of the state with the evi dence upon It that It did not originate in the liousu of representatives , and yet it docs ap propriate inonoy. Hero is this glaring and I incontcstiblo evidence of the inconsistency of the bill , nnd its plain , palpable violation of the constitutional provision already quoted. It originated in the senate , and yet it makes mi appropriation of money. Again , if it was regarded as a bill , ns It came from the house , It was uot read on three separate- days in the senate , and Is therefore a violation of the constitution. 4. This bill makes no provision for the penalty of violation of its provisions. The veterinarian created by the measure is en tirely powerless to enforce any order which lie gives ; ho can call on no ono to assist him. Ho may give orders , but his ardors may bo treated with derision. The present llvo stock commission law which this bill pro poses to repeal , declares * "tbo llvo stock ngcnt or veterinarian shall have the power to call upon any sheriff , under sheriff , deputy sheriff or constable , to execute their orders , end such ofilcor shall obey the order of said ngonis or veterinarian , " etc. , nnd "any ofllcor may arrest without n warrant and take before any magistrate of the county , nny person found violating thn provisions of this net , and such ofllcers shall im mediately notify the county at torney of such arrest , and ho shall prosecute the person so offending according to law. " Section 22 of the same act provides as follows " who shall violate disregard lows : "Any person , regard , or evade any of the rules , regula tions , orders , or directions of the llvo stock ngents , establishing nnd governing quaran tine , ! ) hull bo dcomnd guilty of a misdemeanor nnd on conviction thereof shall bo lined in nny sum not less than J100 nor moro than f.'i.OOO. " These stringent orders with the powers conferred , and. the penalties pro vided have proved most effective nud salti- titry In preventing the Introduction Into the Btnto and the suppression of contagious dis eases , nnd m preventing the introduction of cattle bearing the germs of Tcxns or Spanish fever. All these provisions arc repealed by the measure I am considering. Tlio present rigid quarantine laws prohibit tlio Introduction of Texas cattle Into Nebraska , ejvccpt Texas beef cattle for Immediate slaughter , In which cnso they are taken direct to the stook yards , where they uro placed In separata pens nud run through separate chutes , from which all other cattle nro excluded , The Texas cattle may bo perfectly healthy and sound nnd killed for beef , nnd yet they boar with them the germs of n disease , perfectly harmless to them- Bclvet ) , hut which Is deadly to our native cattle. I hnve to-day positive nnd direct evidence from Texas that parties there are holding several thousand head of cattle to bo shipped into and through Nebraska to JJiikota , They are only waiting for the rais ing of our quarantine law. Ono party has already applied to mo for permission to ship 0.000 head to the northern part of this itnto. If wo once open tlio doors , Texas cattle will cover the range of northern Nebraska , Dakota nnd Wyoming. I hnvo reason to bolltwo that there is a purpose concealed In this bill to which reference has not boon tnailo. I bo- llovo tlio parties themselves who desired the passage of this bill nro awuro that It will not etund the test of constitutional scrutiny. 'J'bey olin to take the bill to the lunrctno court , and trusting that that tribunal will declare the law , except the repealing clause , Unconstitutional , but leaving the repcallug law us valid. That will wlpo out the llvo lock law of 18S7 , when the restrictions ogainst tlio introduction of Texas cattle will bo removed. 5. Section 20 , which senate fllo No. 10 pro- POJOS to repealread as follows : "Thutttio live Block agents bu authorized nnd directed to co-opcrato with tha commissioner of agricul ture of the United States , or nny authority of the government , in the suppression end extirpation of any and all con * tnglous diseases among domestic animals and In the enforcement and execution of any and nil acts of congress to prevent tbo importa tion or exportation of diseased cattle , and the spread of infectious or contagious dis eases among domoBtln animals. " The sec tion Just quoted was n legislative acceptance on the part of Nebraska of the provisions of Bcctlon 3 , chapter 00 , of tbo United Btatos Etatulos of Ibtt4 , which reads as follows ; That It shall bo the duty of the commls- loner of agriculture to prepare snch rules nud regulations us ho may doom necessary for the speedy and effectual suppression nnd extirpation of said diseases , and to cortlfy uch rules und regulation * to the executive of each Btnto and territory , and to ivltp said authorities to co-operate in tlio mcuUon nnd the enforcement of this act , whenever the plans and methods of the com * missloncr of agriculture shall bo ac cepted by nny tate or territory In which plcuro-pnoumoma or other contagious or In fectious diseases or communicable disease Is declared to oxlit , or such stnto or territory shall have adopted plans nod methods for tha suppression nnd extirpation of said diseases , and such plans mid methods shall bo ac cepted by the commissioner of agriculture , end whenever the governor of n stole or other properly constituted authorities sig nify their rcadlnoss to co-oporato for the ex tinction of nny contagious , Infectious or communicable disease In conformity with the provisions of this net , the commissioner of agriculture Is hereby authorized to expend so much of the money appropriated by this net as may bo necessary in such Investiga tions nnd in such infection and quarantine measures as may bo necessary to pre vent the spread of the disease from ono state or territory into another. " It will thus bo seen that by the acceptance of the rules end regulations which the commis sioner of agriculture has laid Jown , wo nro entitled to , and should receive , all the aid nnd co-operation which the government could extend In cxtorpatlng contagious nnlnml dis eases , nnd that the government would pay its own expenses Incurred In suppressing the contagious diseases. Hut the hovcrnrnont will not extend to us that aid unless wo ac cept the rules and regulations ns required. This stnto has by law accepted them , but if scnnto fllo No. 10 becomes a law the accept ance Is withdrawn , and wo cannot call upon the government for assistance. I nm com pelled to believe that this branch of the sub ject was wholly overlooked by the legisla ture. 0. The veterinarian , provided for * in the first section , Is required to execute n bond with good and suflicicnt security in the sum of tT ,000. Suppose hokillsdisoascd animals ; this bills prohibits the payment of nny in demnity of the animals thus slain. Docs not the veterinarian render himself liable for the value of the animals killed by him , in cnso owners should decide to bring suit to recover the value of the animals thus slaughtered , and what Is to prevent their recovery of such damages for the loss of the animal ! nnd will the veterinarian place himself in that posi tion ? Where nro tno responsible mon _ who would bo willing to go upon his bond under such cucumstanccsl Ho Is liable for any animal ho kills , if the parties choose to bring action , and they undoubtedly would. Many will recall the fact that some four or five years ago droves of Texas cattle wore shipped to Brady island , a few stations this side of North PI at to , ulao toOgalnllaand Val entine , and ns the results during the year , over $100,000 worth of natlvo cattle died of Texas fever Imported by these herds. On thoBlst day of March , 1637 , the day before the quarantine including Texas cattle was to go into effect , a herd was shipped Into Ne braska und taken Tekamna ; ns a consequence , some IIOO head of native cattle died there from Texas fover. These facts prove how vigilantly the state must guard against the introduction of cattle from that state. Section 13 , of senate lllo 10 , provides n pen alty for nny person who brings cattle afflicted with contagious or infectious disdascs into the state , but as 1 have already shown , Texas cattle have uo contagious or infectious dis ease , like , for Instance , pleura-pneumonia , und are therefore not included by this sec tion. tion.Section Section 15 of the same bill , senate file No. 10 , authorizes the governor to declare n quarantine against infected districts in other states- , but provides no penalty for railroads disregarding the quarantine , and the gov ernor has no power to cnforco any oonalty against them ; therefore , Texas cattle could bo brought into this state withoutlot orhind- ranco , end the state would have no power to cnforco nny penalties for such violations. There are parties having very extensive contracts with the government for furnish ing beef to the various Indian agencies in Dakota. They can lay down Texas cattle at these agencies at about $7 or $3 a head less cost than they can deliver natlvo cattle thoro. To disclose this purpose moro fully : Sup pose they are required to deliver at the different agencies during the year 25,000 hoail ; $7 a head on his number would yield the large sum of $175,000. If they could fill the contract with Texas cattle they would de rive this enormous profit. Hero is the se cret of the whole business unmaskcd.t Here till1 } villainous scheme is laid bare. The vast cattle interests of Nebraska are to bo in part sacrificed to the spirit of greed and pain. I should regard myself as culpublo in tlio ex treme , did I not use every power nt my com mand to prevent such u calamity from com ing upon the great cattle interests of Ne braska. This bill , senate fllo No. 10 , as originally drawn , repealed the live stock law of 1857 in its entirety , ana provided nothing in its place. It opened the barriers completely for the admission of cattle from Texas. The bill passed the senate , but did not faro us well in the houso. It was defeated. Some thing must bo dono. A now scheme mustjbo devised. The substitute , which I have al ready discussed was prepared and was car ried by the house , nnd was agreed to in tha senate. This substitute was most adroitly framed , so much so , that most persons would be deceived in reading It , as upright and faithful members ot the two'houses , and with honest inten tions , voted for it. With no disrespect to anyone who sup ported the measure , I am compelled to say that It is a medley of.contradictlons and ab surdities from every point from which It Is considered. It is conspicuous with its incon sistencies nnd is obscure with its real inten tions. It was conceived in iniquity outsldo the legislature bcforo the session of the same began. It has been managed so artfully , and has been pushed through with such energy and such plausible reasons , that honest legis lators did not discover the purpose concealed within it. This is vicious and pernicious legislation , for Its effect , should it become a law , will strike n disastrous blow at ono of the greatest , most important , and most far- reaching interests of the state , the cattle interest. It needs no argument to convince any 0110 of the actual necessity for protect ing these Interests at all times and under all circumstances. For these reason * I withhold my approval and signature from this bill , being scnato file No. 10. JOHN M. TIUVEII. Wellington' * Crime nnd Capture , The necessary papers for the return of Guy Wellington , alias G. A. Mitchell , to Council Grove , Morris county , Kansas , wcru signed by Governor Thayer to-day , and E. I' . Perkins , deputy sheriff , departed with Wellington for the scone of the crime this afternoon. Wellington Is wanted at Council Grove on the charge of murder. It Is learned that ho shot his step-father , 13. 13. Crandall , on-tho 2Hh of February last , who dlod on the aist day of March from the effects of the wound received at the time. The history of the crime Is told in a few words. Oil the day of the shooting , young Wellington , who Is n railway brakeman , visited his mother nnd al leges that ho learned from her lips tbatCran- dull abused her. und that during the day of his visit an altercation took place between his mother and step-father , and that ho struck her with hi" fist , whereupon ho pulle.l his revolver and shot him down. This story , the deputy sheriff says , his mother verities. Just prior to Criindail's death , however , his nnti-mortcm , statement was taken nnd ho alleges that Wellington "shot hl i down with out any provocation whatever , " It seems that his word goes further with the citizens of Council Grove than the combined word of the mother and son. Crandall , the deceased , was a railway engineer. The day Crandall was shot .young Wel lington was placed under arrest and put In charge of a supposed reliable guard. Uut it Is given out that the guard ac cepted a bribe and that tbo prisoner was permitted to escape. Hut , though cautious , ho loft the oars down that led to his recapture. Ho assumed the uaiuo of G. A. Mltoholl , and shortly after arrlvln ? In Cheyenne county , where ho has relatives , ho wrote to his mother. In this he inadn Ills mistake. The postmaitor know the hand writing of Mrs. Crandall , and when sbo ua- sworcd the letter , addressed to G. A. Mitch- oil , at Sidney , Cheyenne county , ho con veyed bis suspicious to the sheriff and he acted upon It with the result already known. Sheriff Kubank was notlflod by letter and he watched the poitofilco at Sidney from day to lay , nnd finally got on to his man by the mcrott accident. C , J. Smith , who lives In the brakes , some thirty miles northwest of Sidney , happened to display two let ters ho had addressed to Mitchell whllo In a grocery store in Sidney , ami , Ilka a sleuth hound , lie kept on his trail until well en route homo , whun the shorlft of Choyounu county made hlinsolf Uuowa to him and told him what ho wanted. Smith was surprised. Ho knew nothing of Mltohajl , g.ivo the oflicer t'ae lo'.ters ana told him whoru the owner could bo found. It teem * that Mitchell had heard that Smith was going to Sidney on tmt ! day , April 1 , and ho gave him anordor fur bit mail. In showing the letters ho hod taken from the office ; to a companion In a casual way , the sheriff wni enabled to pain the clue that subsequently led to the prisoner's rearrcst , Eubank lost no timein reaching young Wellington's temporary abode , which was with his mint , n Mrs. Cramer , and two or thrco cousins , In ono of the wildest portions of western Ne braska. There was n commotion when the sheriff made his wants known , Mr * . Cran\cr VIM wild with prlef. The cousins , though indignant , offered no resistance and Welling ton gave up without a word , The prisoner is n fine looking young man about twenty-seven years of age. There Is nothing of the ruftlan about him in manner or oppcnranco. Ho possesses moro than or dinary Intelligence nnd his bearing U that of a gentleman in ovcrv scnso of the word. The deputy sheriff says that ho was under the Influence of liquor nt the time of the shooting and first arrest. Ho declined to give the route ho would take homo for the reason that Wellington's friends might again attempt to snirlt him nway. Wolllncton spent last night in the Lancaster county Jail.

Ginnco at Omnlio. nnd a Proplicoy of tlio Future. General E. F. Test , the statistician sends the following to TUB UEC : A glance at the school census just com pleted , shows a population of 121,453 in Omaha estimated as follows by wards : First Ward 20,333 Second Ward 21,103 Third Ward 0'JUJ Fourth Ward 14.113S Fifth Ward 1 ! ,22 Sixth Ward 10'J14 Seven th Ward 10,200 Eighth Ward 10,122 Ninth Ward 8,550 121,453 This shows an increase of nearly 07 per cent in four years , nnd 2S5 since the United States census of 1SSO. For the four years this will make an annual increase of about 24 per cent ; for the nine years , an annual av erage increase of 32 per cent. Taking the smaller as the more conservative standard of increase per annum in cloven years this will bo equal to an increase of 204 per cent. But as the city grows in size the percentage of Increate must naturally decrease. Therefore a consevativo estimate will place it about 200 per cent by 1000. This will give Omaha a population of nearly 803,000 people by that time which is much too small when taking into consideration the astonishing develop ment of the states and territories west of the Missouri. Whllo Omaha has grown rapidly in the past , the future presents a far moro hopeful outlook. Wo must not stand "Idle all day long , " looking to this thing and that , or wait for somebody to come in and help us. Tlio people of Omaha have made the city what it is , and there is virtue und energy loft to carry it forward to its manifest des tiny the great inland city of the continent. As a city wo must assort ourselves. There nro still thousands upon thousands of square miles of territory that must bo made tribu tary to us. Among those are the oil regions of Wyoming nnd Colorado , the undeveloped mines of the west , tlio anthracite coat re- gloiis of Colorado , Wyoming nud Dauotn , the wheat fields of Dakota and the great stock ranges of the northwest , south and west. The fertile ilclds of Kansas and Ne braska are at our door , and some of these , the most desirable have yet to hoar the whis tle of the locomotive hauling their valuable freights to and from the Omaha markets. When Omaha , South Omaha and Albright come together as ono solid city , which can not bo accomplished any too soon , here will bo the empire city of the west , with n future so prolificIn prosperity and intluoncu no man of the present generation can foretell. Still Increasing. Secretary Pipoj ; says that the school cen sus for this year represents the actual resi dent pupils , whllo that of last year included the families of 250 campers who wore hero only temporarily. This year there nro only about thirty , The Increase this year over last year is therefore actually between 1,500 and 1,000. In Central Parc { addition there are are now n great many empty houses which will be soon filled with families as worlt opens up.

Goorco U IMIIIor Proposes to Pcrpcttinto Ilia Memory. Gracing the top of n wooden box resting on ft porch of the temporary homoof Dr. George L. Miller , nt the rornor of "Twenty-first nnd liurt streets , Is n bronze Ijust of the late Horatio Seymour. It is of heroic mold and magnificent outline , and Is nu exact reflex of the subject In his later years. The bust stands on n base ot bronze lighter lu color than Itself. The owner of this work of nrt , Dr. George L. Miller , glanced admiringly at it , mid said : " 1 nm trying to find n suitable temporary exposure for the cast nnd If the people will consent I will place it down strcctwhero the publlo can view it conveniently. I regard this cast as rather a possession of the public than inlnu , for Mr. Seymour was n public wan. Ho was governor of Now \ork and n candidate for the presidency In It03. "Of course 1 hnvo a lively personal Interest In the man. Ho was my associate In political life thirty-flvo years and supported mo very nrdcntly for the postmaster generalship un der Cleveland. I named the park out here which covers about ilvo hundred acres in his honor. "Tho strongest motive in so doing was , on behalf of the people of Omaha , the commer cial center of the pralrlo rcgUui , to express the great appreciation of the. service of Mr. Seymour In promoting the growth of timber. For more than twenty-live years ho wiw the counselor of the cultivation of trees on the plains , nnd was ns familiar with Wisconsin , Iowa nnd Nebraska , nnd the pralrlo states generally , as ho was with his own. During the twenty-four years of my editorial lite on the Herald I was In constant correspondence with him on the subject of tree plant ing , nnd visits to him two or three ttmos a year resulted always in the discus sion of thu commercial , healthful nnd nrtls tic value of tree planting in country nnd town. Tlio whole subject was covered by him. Ho was a great student of this qucs tlon of nature. I hnvo walitcd with him Into the forest adjacent to his homo nt Dcorguld , N. Y. , ( ho was known as the sngo of Ucor- field ) , nnd heard many discourses on tlio characteristics of the different trees nn 1 their o dices in the economics of nature , how the deciduous trees fed nt the surface and others wcro nourished below . "I consider this bust n work of art , " con tinued tlio doctor , "and it stands In my esti mation among the finest I over saw. Its nrt appeals to everybody who looks ht it. It presents the features of the face , contour of the head nnd brain nnd the expression of the eye as If it were n painting. The artist was David Richards , a Welshman who was chosen for tho. work by Hon. John F. Seymour , of New York , nt my request. It has received thn warm approval nnd admira tion of Mr. Seymour , Mrs. Hoscoo Conklinir , Governor Seymour's sister , nnd Mrs. Uutgor 13. Miller , another sister , and all the mem bers of the family nntt the people of Utica I hold that this bust Is of more than per sonal Interest , " concluded the gentleman , "and that such n specimen of art in honor of n distinguished American ns has boon brought here should decorate the park that boars the name of Soymour. I intend when the ilmo shall come to place it noon its pedestal , which will bo of the most durable stone obtainable , to ask , Rome of the loading spirits of Omaha to assist mo in formally dedicating the bust and honoring the memory of the great man.

This train loaves Council Bluffs daily at 4:45 a. m. ; loaves Omaha ' at 5:05 : a. m. , and runs through .without change to Manhattan , Kan. , making direct con nections there with the Kansas division of the Union Pacific railway for all points in Kansas nnd Colorado west bound , and for Topokn , Lawrence , Kan sas City and points cast and south via Kansas City. Returning , train leaves Manhattan at 12:23 : p. in. ; arriving at Beatrice at CU5 : p. in. , Lincoln at 7:60 : p. in. , and Omaha at 11:20 : p. in. , Coun cil Bluffs 11:40 : p. m. , making direct connection with Kansas division trains from Kansas City , Lawrence , Topokn and the east , and from Denver , Salinn , Abolino nnd all points west , enabling passongSrs to visit the principal points iu Kansas and Nebraska in the ohortcst possible timo. These trains have flrst- class equipment , consisting of smoking cars and first-class day coaches of the latest pattern. The now train will fill a < long felt want , and is bound to bo popular.

Our new Shoe Department is now ready. It ia located pn the soo. end floor of the new addition , and you will find there the largest and boat assorted stock of Men's Shoes in the city . Wo will take occasion here to remark that it is our intention to lead the retail Men's shoo trade of Omaha just as we do the Clothing , Furnishing and Hat trade. The introduction of our popular prices produced a revolution in the olothin trade , and we propose to accomplish the same in the shoo trade , by giving at all times The Best Shoes for the Least Money. In buying shoes you have to rely more upon the house that sells them to yon than upon your own judgement. You can not tell the quality of the leather after it is made up into the shoo , nor can you tell how a shoe is made , as a cheap shoo can bo finished to look as well as the best. You can only tell after the shoe has boon worn how good or how poor it is. In the preparation of our now department wo have employed the most expert knowledge and experience. Our stook is selected from the boat jmd most tei : liable makers , and so sure do we feel of the quality of all shoes which we are soiling above $2.50 that we offer to every purchaser. Iii case of any unreasonable defective wear ox these slices , P MW Has any other house ever made such an offer ? - You will find our prices from 25 to 50 percent lower than those of any regular shoe house. Our $1.25 , $1.65 and § 1.85 shoes are honest and trusty shoos for worldngmen. They are sold in every shoe store for considerable more money. Corner Douglas and Fourteenth Streets , Omaha.
