URP.Botno ] men are born great and other *
have greatness thrust upon thorn. Now that
thu so-railed Nowberry Dill has passed both
houses It may bosomowlmt Interesting to tbo
people or Ncbrosfca to know the paternity of
this measure mid how the bantling was
palmoii off us NowDorry's baby.
At the very outsat of the session Mr. Now-
berry , n tnnn xvho knows nothing about rail
roads , transportation or commerce , for rea-
noni boat known to himself , iiskod
that ho bo permitted to Introduce
the maximum rate bill In the house.
This favor was conceded to him and ho
trnlghUvny proceeded to Introduce the max-
mum rate bill prepared two years ago by
lion. Charles Hall of Lancaster county.
After a casual Inspection and examination
the bill was pronounced dofoetlvo In some re-
epocts by sovornl members of the railroad
committee , especially Mr. Moan , who lias
taken a very prominent part In all railroad ,
telegraph and telephone legislation. There
upon It was decided to drop the original Now-
berry bill and let out the job of drafting an
entirely now bill to Lawyer Strlchler , who
I lias ( .mined some notoriety , If not fame ,
as otic of the prohibition law
yers In the late contest. Strlcklcr's
oxperlonco In railroading Is confined chiefly
to his employment as a sleeping car conduc
tor on a Pullman line , but what ho lacks In
knowledge bo maku.1 up In fall. ? Undaunted
Blrlckler sot , himself at once to work , pro-
needing straightway to copy the schedules
cntnhMshcit by tlio Iowa commission. Those
Lchedulos dlv'do Into three classes the vari
ous railroads of Iowa , according to then1
length and volume of business. Strichler
copied the loxvest rate of the thrco classes
mid formulated tlio mass of figures Into what
Is now known ns tbo Nowborry bill.
When the work had been HiushodStricklcr
nskcd the commlttoo to pay him 50 for tbo
Job , which caused a great neal of Indignation
and kicking , Finally Mr. Moan forked over
the fji ) out of his own pocket. But Strlckler
was not content with the money. Ho also
wanted the glory and the renown that Is
expected to attach to this iti-cat measure In
futuroagos ,
Tnero is now said to bo in course of publi
cation In tlo city of Omaha nn Illustrated
volume of eminent and pro-eminent No-
braskanB , In which Mr. Strlckler Is to BO one
of the most prominent figures. Ills biog
raphy la already In typo an din thomodost , re-
tlrltiR way peculiar to Mr. Strlckler ,
ho has Inserted the fact that ho
fa the father of Now berry's baby and
prides himself upon thu achievement or copy-
IP B from the Iowa schedule rates. "When tie
landed this llttlo biographv to the printer
ex-Pullman Conductor Stricklor wrote :
"Tho bill It now pending In the house , but Is
almost certain to go throueh the senate and
Will bucoino a law. " Ahem I
Strlckler Is determined that posterity shall
not remain entirely hi Ignorance of the fact
that ho , and not Mr. Now berry , Is the author
of the bill. But meantlino Mr. Moan insists
that ho Is the sire of this bill and that ho
merely paid Strhkler as a clerk to copy the
Iowa schedules. Thus the plot thickens.

Lixcor.x , Nob. , March 24 , ( Special to Tun
M KB. ] Yesterday Senator Poyntor presented
his voucher to Lieutenant Governor Majors
lor his signature. granting him n part of his
alleged salary as president pro tern over the
donate. Tlio voucher was signed by Mr.
Majors , after telling Mr. Toy ntcr that the de
mand was un Illegal ono. The amount cov-
ever In the voucher was $150 , which Is ouly
part of what Mr. Poyntor thinks bo Is en
titled to , claiming $1 per day over and above
what ho receives as a member of the senate.
The illegality of "tho demand has boon de
cided by an opinion of tlio attorney general ,
rendered to the state auditor.
The attorney quotes section 13 , chapter 48 ,
of the compiled atututcs of 18S9 , which de
termines the , number of employes of
the sounto and the salary which
they shall receive. Among those Is
sot forth the fact that the president
of the seiiato shall receive S3 per day. Ho
also shows that this section Is section 3 of an
net of the same kind , approved Juno 21 , 1807.
Tie then siiys that the present constitution Is
the result of the convention of 1875. Prior
to that convention and the adoption of the
present constitution tbo utato had uolloutcn-
nnt governor , but It did have a president of
the sonnto. Under the provision of the
constitution the lieutenant , governor Is
mode president of the senate. His com
pensation Is found In suction 24
of the sanio article. There Is now. ho holds ,
n president pro torn of the senate , but the at
torney says that section 13 of chapter 48 can
not mean president pro tcmporo oocauso it
Bays president ofN the Bonato , and he con
cludes that It means what It , says. Ho soys
further that ho has not boon able to llnd auy
law which will Justify the payment of any
'money to the president pro tempore over and
nbovo tno amount ho receives for his services
as a member of the senate.
Mr. Poyntor , however , proposes to bold his
money.
