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

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

Jail.

A. 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.

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

Iloiv l > r. 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

NEW DEPARTMENT.
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.
