years of iir.ic-tlcal test have amply demon

"Tho distribution Is of such proportions ,

Reticles of ttio case , as to create a demand for
Immediate relief far beyond the reasonable
bblllty of the state of Nebraska to meet.
From carefully computed reports ofllclally
innilo In tlio Viirlnns counties named above , il
Is respectfully submitted that fully 70 per

rollovo the Buffering of these people , wo fully
realize the imiKiiitudo and thu enormous ex
penditures necessary to clothe , feed and care
for these people. Carefully compiled statis
tics show that they must on provided for
until a harvest can bo icached by them. They
must ho furnished with subsistences for them
selves nnd with pmin ; for both fee'd and need
in order to plant their ilclds and cultivate
their lands. A reliable estimate based upon
returns show that an expenditure appropri
ating 81,000,000 will bo necessary to
supply thu varieties of Heed for planting
nnd a limited supply ns feed for teams In
uso. To meet this latter demand your memo
rialists earnestly and respectfully ask tlmt
congress inako such carlv provision as the
exigencies ot the situation demand and the
business of your august body permit , and
your memorialists will over praj' .

surgount-ut-nrms nnd his dcrHilles vvbcn
Sheriff McClay and bis nosie tried to work
their way Into the house to present the supreme
premo court mandamus 1ms drawn forth the
follow Inp counlcr statement from Sergeant-
nt-nrms Mlsldor of the house of lepresenta-
lives :
"Thrre was no necessity , whatever , for
Sheriff McClav lircaking through the door to
servo the mandamus ujion Speaker Elder.
Ttio main doow had boon closed by order of
the presiding officer to keep out the surging '
ciovvd who could not have been restrained
from bursting through the slender railing1 ,
and mingling with the members , nnd
no member objected to this piocautton.
Had ho presented himself nt the door of the
cloak room , shown his nuthoritv anil de
manded admittance , orders would bavobeon
at unco given to admit him , and the wtiolo
unseemly wrangle would have been avoided.
The sensational reports , set nlloat by axclted
correspondents to the effect that membcis of
thu house took part in the melee Inside thu
i ailing , Is entirely false. Ono member from
Douglas did strike at ono of my assailants ,
nnd nn excited clerk did grab Gardner by
the nrm , but that was the extent of the col
lision. The story , thnt the independents
sprung from their seats nnd engaged In a
band U ) hand stiugglo with the sheriff's
posse , which ono reckless prevaricator tele
graphed to his paper , doe not contain one
grain of truth. The independents maintained
their scats , and not a sin lo ono passed out of
the inside railing. The turmoil nt the door
\vas caused not by any attempt to keep out
the ofllcers , but by our efforts to keep the
ciowd-.fiom pressing In after the sheriff.
.My men all acted very discreetly In tbo tryIng -
Ing circumstances In which wo wcro placed ,
nnd the people ought to know the facts. The
independents may bo wrong , but they nro
not nnnrehlststs , and believe In maintaining
law nnd order. "

WASHINGTON , .Ton , 12. The report of tbo
ballot box commltteojwtilch lust-sesslon mndo
extensive investigations into Ohio political
affalis In eonnection with alleged subscrip
tions by members of congress of stock iua
patent ballot 1m , was today presented the
house oy Chairman Mason. Tlio main re
port , which is signed by all tbo member * of
the committee , finds that the alleged con
tract was prcpaiod cy Htchard G. Wood , thnt
nil the signatures thoioto were forged imd'ttmt
Frank Wilvvard und Frank Davis wcro with
out evil intent in the transaction ; that Wood
uttered the said forgery for the purpose of
securing Governor Forakor's recommenda
tion of himself to the mayor of Cincinnati
for appointment to the oflico of smoke In
spector. The committee further finds that
Governor Fonilier and Murat Hals toad aided
In uttering the said forgery by publishing It
in the Cincinnati Commercial Gnzotto. but
finds that neither Forakcr nor Halstcad , In
uttcrlug the paper knew that the same
was a forgery. The committee finds
that no ono of the persons whose
names appear on the said alleged
contract had or has either dlrectlv or Indi
rectly any unlawful , corrupt or improper or
any other connection with or interest in the
ballot boxes which are said to bo the subject
ot the alleged contract , and there wns never
any other contract relating to the said ballot
boxes in which clthcrof those persons alone
or jointly with the othois wns in any way
Interested.
A supplementary ropoit , signed by all tha
members present , except Chairman Mason ,
tlnds that the conduct , ot Wood during the
negotiations with Forakor disclosed his du
plicity. The high stations attained in public
affairs by the person's whoso names wcro
fonrcd should have suggested a vorilicition of
the corrupt paper before It was utteiod or
published. The publication showing Camp
bell's name and biippidsslng other slgnntuios
was almost as bid as tbc irigitinl fabrication
of the parx > r. The entire incident , the mem
bers say , is an cxnmplo of political methods ,
deserving the condemnation of nil parties uud
all peed cltl/ons.
Chairman MHSOII In the minority report
does not agree with these additional findings.
He does not see that a c.ireful scrutiny of the
paper must havn shown its false character. It
Is ea y now to know In Jnnnnry , 1891 , what
wo ought to have known In Septem
ber , 1839. Whether or not Forakcr nnd
Halstcad treated ' well the gentleman
outraged by the forgery by not seeing them
personally Is a question'of ctbics not In
volved in the investigation , nor does it throw
any light upon the Mibloctns to who uttered
the forgery. BelngiW-clved is the only crime
of Fornker nnd Halstcad. They have each
made a reputation ondf character equal per
haps to any of the ( gentlemen who were out
raged by tno forgery , , i3inco they found they
were deceived thuj'havo done all In their
power as honorable mpu to make amends. To
uslc more soenu to'Mt Meson unjust and ho
respectfully protestsMignlnst the censure of

AUVHKMKXTS.
"Odotto , " ono of Sardou's strongest heart
dramas , was produced last evening at the
Boyd by Miss Clara Morris and a very capa
ble company of ncton.
The play Is by no tnoaim now to theater
goers , for both Modjoska nnd Jeffries Lewis
essayed the part with Indifferent success.
Even Ada Hchiin tried itoncoor twice , hut
Mr. Daly shelved it almost upon its produc
tion. .
Mmo. Modjoska played the part in n cotdlv
Intellectual manner with strength , to bo
suio but the public did not care to oo her
In the role , and so "Odette" was pushed
asldo for tlio lonttlniato.
JolTncd Lewis maJo of Odotto a wanton ,
an adventuress , without a single redeeming
feature whatever , and so It failed with bur.
Hut Clnra Morris makes Odotto what
neither of her predecessors seoned to appro-
elate In the character-a mother ; a vvomim
who has smnc'd , hut who Is ready to sncrlllc-o
herself tor liar child's ' happiness
There Is little In the torv to call out more
than a uiero mention. It Is trllo and conven
tional , but llko nil of Sardou'.s plays It Is ful (
of action and dinmatlc Intercut. From the
rise of thu cut lain to tno closing scours It
holds the attention of the audience to the
cud.
cud.Hullt
Hullt upon accepted Ideas of the French
school , after French models. It teaches no
lesson In moralltv ; It solves 110110 of the
problems which the world cites out to
have solved. It does , however , show the
sacredness of n mother's love tor
her child , tha holv feeling of ma
ternity. And It Is for the ixn'trayal
of this phase of Odetto's character that
Miss Morris has placed the drama In her
repertoire.
Seeing Clara Morris again after an ahsonco
of nearly thrco yoirs , and after , In that
tinio. being entertained by iniiiiy of the now
lights of the drama , is like feeling the broith
of n December morning after having
breathed only the perfumed atmosphere of u
steam heated boudoir.
If there bo today any 0110 artist on the
dramatic stugo who can bo said to possess
genius It Is Clara Morris.
She has triumphed over the conventionali
ties of her ait and In defiance of all Its
canons stands today without a peer on the
'
stage the greatcst'of all emotional actresses.
She sways her audiences as easy as the sum
mer wind moves the buffalo grass on the
nmlrles ; and the chords are played on every
feeling of a woman's hcait.
As S.ilvlnl docs sometimes she seems sud
denly to giip her auilicnco uud sweep them
forward with her in n hurricane of tangled
emotions.
In her great dimnx , at the end of the third
act , last evening , thu audience forgot tint
this woman wns not beautiful , forgot that her
ligui-d was not overly graceful , forgot the
harsh voice , In the sudden awe inspired by a
lovelntton of real art.
In her tiibuto to motherhood , which , by the
w.iy , is beautifully written , her strangely
mysterious and luminous eyes shone with the
light "Unit Is not on land or sea" , nnd
reason fell nt the feet of the woman
whoso heart pleaded so eloquently for
compisslon , fornyinpathy.
And it was through the tiratt Miss Morris
won a triumph last night \vhicb has not boon
rivaled in jenrs.
As a whole the company supporting Miss
Morris is the strongest she has had.
Mr. ,1. M Colvllle , who played Count Clor-
mont , Is an excellent lead Ing man , stionirnnd
earnest , and the possessor of a beautifully
modulated voice
Howard Covcnoy as Uochnmcl was very
oujo.uiblo In light coinedv character , which
Is quite unusual with Surdoti. Although not
a nrc.it part , It is particularlv symp ithotic.
Mr. W. C Kelly played Philtpo , but not In
a manner to cnll out extended notice.
It was a plc.isuio to see Miss Mitten1 * Wll-
lett In the role of Juliette , which she plajod
very piottlly.
Miss Bnrrison nad the ingenue pirt of
of Buraugere , which , liarrinir a tendency to
overact , wns plajed quite well.
The other munibciM of the cast were equal
to their several loles.

'Ills Curious Kxprrlont'o.
Everybody liius hcivrd the old paying ,
"Oivoii away for an old Bonir , " but I
ciiino very nearly bulng given jiwny by n
song a fovv voars ngo. _
At Hint tiino 1 was living In n little
Canadian city within a hundred miles of
Detroit , nml us I was coming to the oily
of the Straits for u visit at Chrlstums J
accepted a number of commissions from
iicijtmliitiincoa to bring thorn hack vari
ous articles tliov , ' noodod. says n
writer in the Detroit l-Yoo Press.
I and a fovv of my friomls desired
to gotsomo Gorman canaries , and their
pricoboing high , wo clnbbod together
to buy a do on at wholoHiilo rates , and
plantiod to osunpo paying any moro duty
than wns absolutely necessary.
Accordingly ono fine morning I
crossed the river on the ferryboat , car
rying my eanarios nnd iirmod with a re
ceipted hill Iroin tlio accommodating
proprietor of tlio bird wtoro for ono
do on fomulo canaries at 25o oaoh , in-
Htead of a do/on m ilos at $12.50 caulf.
Marching into the liltlo ollleo on thu
Windsor dock 1 laid down my bill and
GO cents , the duty hoing 20 nor cent ,
vvhon the olllclal informed motliatuiidor fit ,
u now regulation issued by the depart-
niunt on January 1 every bill had to ho
rortiliotl "coi-rcut" by the dcnlot- before
It would be accepted by them , mul that
1 would hnvo to K o h.iuk to the Htoro and
got that dono. I w.i8 dismayed , for I
onlv had about liftcon miniitcs to catl'li
my train , hut nftor losing about llvo of
thoin in a fruitless etidonvor1 to persuade
the uuatoiii house ollleor to accept
t ho bill as it was , I Htarted baolc to Du-
troit , leaning my block in his olwi'go ,
not without homo misgivings aa to the
wisdom ot my doing MO , but fonring to
arouse suspicion if I took the birda away
with mo.
In about half an hour I was back
again , vvitn my bill duly certified to ,
only to Hml that the olllcious.cuitmn
house man had torn part of thV
wrapper from the cage.s , oitensibly
for the purpoio of giving' tlio birds
raoro air , and that im soon as ho had
done so ono of thorn had commenced to
siiiff , which ho coiibidorod a very BUS-
pioious proeoodinjr foi' a fomulo canary
to indulge In , anil w.intod to invosligato
tlioroughly. Then 1 hail a quarter of an
hour indeed. However , I oiled nuinor-
