[ Special to THE BP.K.J There nro Just three days raoro loft for the Twenty-fourth general nssombly of Iowa to make laws by which to govern the people of thl * great commonwealth for tlio next two years. Tno committees on np- liroprlatiotis have completed their duties nnd nearly nil the appropriations to bo made have passed the senate nnd house. The appropri ations asked for amounted to nearly S2.000- 000 , and the amount granted thorn Is about $ OiO,000. The work of this commlttco is generally considered satisfactory. On Friday the senate Indulged In a llttlo lovlty at the expense of the Iowa State band. This musical organization desired to become o protogo of tbo slate , mid soURhtnn appropriation or1,000. . When this bill came up nn amendment wns Intro duced to Include m the personnel of the band two hand oritans and a monitor , svith nn able bodied Italian attachment. The appropria tion was defeated , but the name of the band was localiznd , which Is small comfort. The defeat of the Gatch bill In thohouso on Tuesday was n blttor disappointment to several largo cities which are controlled by a republican government. Since the action of the house upon this bill Sioux City and Council Bluffs have ocouly protested against tbo action of the house republicans In voting down a measure which they claim would have boon of vast Interest to their general welfare , from a commercial standpoint , Could Not Ho llccnnsldorod. A movement was made among certain lib eral republicans to try nnd sccuro a recon sideration vote on this mil , but it was too loto. There may bo nn effort made , however , to pass a rcsubmlsslon resolution and call a special election in May. Should the people so docldo that prohibition Is n failure a spe cial Hosslon of the legislature would bo neces sary In Juno. An editor of n prohibition paper In Musca- tlnc , who was here during the passage of the Oft tch bill in the senate , was filled with an ger when two republican senators voted for it , and after hiring ono of Dos Molnos' notori ous searchers named West ho went home , nnd between the editor and the searcher they have saourod evidence against twenty saloon keepers. The saloons In that city nre H- ccnsod and glvo the citv a revenue of about $13,000 annually. The tax payers nro now up in arms and have called a meeting for next Tuesday tilght at which they will express their Indignation and take stops to send this searcher bark to the city where bis record still loaves an odor not pleasant. Their IntcrcHts Well ( iuurilccl. The railroads have had sway this session oi the legislature and not n single bill in the intorcsts of the people has boon passed. The Birk commission bill which only applies to os Molncs nnd Sioux City has boon passed and is now a law. It will glvo the people of tbcso places an opportunity to provide public breathing places. Another legislative scandal Is likely to re sult after tbo report of a quiet Investigation is made known. It is said that ono clerk of a commlttco has drawn $ -100 worth of sta tionery when less than $40 would have boon sufficient. The chairman of this committee is xaid to have had so much faith in bis clerk that ho signed blank requisitions , and the clerk ordered stationery In wholesale quantities. None of it can bofound'and it is supposed that the stuff has boon shipped nWay. i The senate Is getting down to hard work and proposed to clean tha calendar with a rush. Ycstoi day "President of _ the Senate Bestow appointed a sifting committee as follows - ' lows : Kelly , Boltoi- . Shields , Cleveland , Yoomans , Gobble , Kent , Gatcb , Perkins , Brewer nnd Mack. This committee began work this morning nnd they hope to fix the calendar so that It can bo cleared before high noon , Wodiioboav , March 80 , when the legis lature will stand adjourned.

About twenty member * of the pcoplo's in dependent party mot last night nt Gate City hull fertile purpose of ratifying the platform adopted nt the St. Louis Industrial confer ence. ence.Mr. . J. Joffcoat was elected chairman nnd Anson E. Blgolow secretary of the mooting. The plnttorm was road and after some dis cussion was ratified. During the season of oratory Mr. Anson E. Blgolow said iu great aarnoitnosa and a sten torian tone of voice that the keynote - note of success In the organization of the people's party was sounded in the very first plank of the conference plat form. Thut was the plank which sot fo rth that all the Industrial and labor organiza tions in the country bad nt last united for mutual hclo and for the overthrow of cor rupt und tyrannical laws and lawmakers. Wniuleroil 111 the Corridors or Tlmo. Mr. J. Joffcoat then adllrossnd the mooting. Ho began b ick in 144 and came along down the corridors of time , knocking out great chins nnd chunks here nnd there from politi cal policies that ho did not approve of at the time nnd lias found no excuse for tiuco. In Mr. JclTcoat's estimation the whole pith and point of the present situation and n great deal thitf has happened politically la Iho past hinged upon just iwo points , vl/ . , the interests or the debtor and the creditor classes. In short , tbo moat in the political nut just at present was the llnancinl problem. Mr. Cfoorgo W. Browster was present , and although ho was not a member of the pcoplo's independent party ho requested the nrlvilogo of saving a few words. Ho was given the privilege. Mr. Browstor then proceeded to announce that the American people were slaves. When the negrooi were made frco Iho whole American people , with the excep tion of tbo bankers and capitalists , became slaves to tbn money power through the blun ders that were made in securing funds to carry on the war and meet the necessities of the trying time through which the country bad to pass. Ho was glad to sco thnt the people were setting their eyes open upon the money question. Ho proposed to go with that party which presented the most rational and honest solution of the financial problem. The Government should create all .tho raonov needed for building .railroads' nnd developing the country , in stead of permitting foreign capitalists to loan their- money to the people and make slaves of the oorrowing classes. The gov ernment should lend Iho moooy and the people should pay tno interest to the gov ernment rather than to foreign capitalists. If this plan had been adopted years ago every toiler in the United Stains might now bo un- joying the luxuries of life and there would not be a tramp in the country. Mr. Browster then announced tbat on next Thursday night there would bo a club organized for the purooso of discussing the financial prob lems of the day and ho hopca to i > co a largo number of the independent party people in attendance at the club. It would bo com posed of people who wished to see financial reform no manor what their party aflllla- tions might bo. Every financial reformer would bo welcome at the club. Hut Do" n on Mr. llro\v tor'H Scheme. And then about half a dozen of the most energetic members of the people's party took turns in sitting down hard on Mr. Browster's scheme 10 organize a financial club. Mr. Fawknor said the people's - independent ent party wns making a specialty of financial loform. The people's party had tbo idea copyrighted and these who wished the latest und best wrinkle in that particular Una should simply atop right into tbo people's independent party. The organization of clubs and side shows upon that issue was , in his opinion , simply o was to of timo. Mr. Joffcoat then shot a long string of reasons at Mr. Browster all tending to show that ho ( Jeffcoit ) and the people's Independ ent party were the only and originallinuneial reformers. "Wo are simply the old orlglual greenback party with a now name , " said Mr. JolYcoat , ' Wo are following up the original ideas of financial reform a * begun by the loaders of the old greenback party. Finance is our shibboleth and our battle cry , " Mr. Blgolow thought it would do the Inde pendent party good to have its members join finance clubs and enter Into a general discus sion. Members of the people's party , ho thought , were wasting too much wind at homo. They should got out and do some missionary work. Mr. J. M.Taylor hold tbat all honest nnd.In - core financial reformers should join tno pco plo's party. There was no excuse for any such remaining outside the party. Chniion to ( let ICnurultH. Mr. Browser replied to these numerous flings ut bs [ finance club fldiemo by saying that there were a great many republicans and democrats who really wanted a financial reform , buttbey were not yet persuaded that the people's Independent party would plvo them what they wanted. If the loading members of tha people's parly would moot these dlcsatlstiod republicans and demo crats half vrny und lot taora fully understand tbo alms and oojocts of the now party , In all probability tbo people's party would recolvo material benefit by absorbing this dissatisfied clement of the two qld parties. Ho hoped tbat the people's party represented u principle , and if it did its members couM not bo injured by n mutual exchange of views with houost , earnest men of other parlies wbo were sock- log to promote financial reform. But Mr. Brewstor's efforts to create an interest In tbo organization of n now financial reform club outside of tbo party mot with a Hat failure. A motion was. put and carried to adjourn tha ratification meeting until next Thursday night , when moro oratory will bo uncorked. The committee appointed to loon after the pcoplo's party national convention will also hold a meeting next Thursday night at Knights of Pythias hall. There appears to bo considerable dissatis faction among tbo members of tbo Independ ent party with the citizens' committee of fifty appointed to make preparations for the great July convention , A indbot time is expected at the mooting next Thursday nlijht , II.

The promiscuous dcs < ruction wroaght by the wind and snow was shown to a few bravo firemen Sunday morning by rod light tbo glare of the Omaha Hardware company's blazing six-story pllo serving In lieu of a calcium light. And , not to bo outdone - done In ruination by his brother elements , Fire made for himself In a few moments n record on the mouth of March that will stand long unexcelled In Omaha. At 2:15 : o'clock yesterday morning an alarm from box 10 brought the department to the corner of Jones nnd Tenth streets. Hard Itldo of the 1'lroiiicii , Although the storm of the few preceding hours had played havoc with the 'electric light system and loft the town In total darkness , the pace of the diflerent compa nies to the scene of the II ro was a rapid ono. Dangerous pitfalls hidden by n cover of darkness , swaying wires stretching across the streets , or piled In tangled masses in the route of the running horses , made the rldo of the flromon a perilous ono. But never for a moment was the mad pace slackened , and soon numerous streams of water from front.and roar were playing on the flames , which were reaching out of every door nnd window of thn six- story structure occupied by iho Omaha Hardware oompanv. Was ii Ilurd Tight. Chief Salter , upon his arrival , immedi ately caw the fire was a dangerous ono , und a second alarm was sent in , bringing ether companies to the scene. Their services wore needed , as the burning building was sur rounded by high , towering'structures , filled with vuluabla merchandise. It was la the wholesale quarter of tbo citv. and time was everything. The lurid flames which now lighted up the floating clouds and touched with their reflections the higher portions of the city , told them to hasten. , As companyoTfter-company-scamo rushing to summons , and stream "nftor stream wns added to these already playing on the burn ing mass , the fiery fiercenessof"4 the flames gave llttlo wnv. The firemen braving the terrible boat pressed closer and closer. The flames gave back as they ad vanced , and after a hard fight tbo fire was under control. It was a gallant piece of work , undertaken in the face of greatest difficulties , tbo sur mounting of which adds another jewel to tbo crown of efficiency which is so gracefully worn by Omaha's fire department. WHUN IT WAS Terrible Explosion , Followed by u Durst of 1'luiiio Ironi 1 o rioors. A couple of men passing- the corner of Tenth and Jackson streets at tbo time said that they heard an explosion and a moment later the fiames burst forth from the second story windows at the north end of the build ing , immediately followed by a great crash , caused by the breaking of tbo third story u mdows by the intense boat. Hose company No. 3 was the first on the ground and hnd a line of hose laid In a twinkling. By this time tbo fla'raes .had worked their way upward and burn through tbo roof sending a great shower of sparks , bright as stars , heavenward. As the other companies came up they saw at a > clauco the mighty task before thorn and know the dangers attending the work of extinguishing such a seething , cracking mass of Inflam mable material mixad with cans of powder and cartridges. Here was where the splendid discipline of the firemen came into play , and every ono of the lira lighters turned In and worked like slaves to get every available.stream of water onto the firo. firo.When When the rioorn Fell. The ground floor was the first to give way and fell with a crash. Tha others followed in rapid succession and then tbo roaring flames shot upward between the bare walls of the adjoining buildings nud nearly to their roofs , Heavy Iron floor girders Jay across the rod hot mass , all twisted out of thor ] former shape. Tiireo streams were Kept constantly pouring gallons of water through the win dow-casing at the north end , but , without ef fect , for fully half nn hour. At the Jones street front of tbo building was where the hardest fighting took place. The water pressure was weak and tha half dozen streams onlv reached to about tbo third story and the btrong wind blowing from the wostsont considerable of the water drifting to the eastward In the shape of spray. Chief Barnes , who was m command of tba battalion , hod a Siamese nozzle attached , and thus was able to send a powerful stream up above iho third story windows , or straight ute the heart of the lire.

The resolution nlso Instructed him to report his findings to tbo board at the earliest possible dnto. In reading the bills iho clerk stated tbat when parties hnd several bills before the ooard , In making up the reports , for con venience , nil of the bills had been grouped together nnd appeared ai ono item. Mr. Pnddocu took occnilon to say n few words. Some oi tbo bills showed thnt nn- counts with the same partv had been con- , doused nnd put Into ono bill. * Ho blamed the clerk , but that gentleman cleared his skirts by saying thnt the auditor was the man who made up the reports for the vnnous commit tees. Mr. Paddock said lhat thnt wns shlru- Ing. Ilo made the reports for nil committees of which ho wns chairman nud ho did notseo why ether gentlemen could not do the same. It wns for that work thnt the members of the board wore drawing ? lfiO per month onch. Mr. Berlin did not fool hit by the arrows fired by Mr. Paddock.

The matter was referred to County Attorney Mahoney with instructions to investigate. Charge * Against a Justice. Serious charges were preferred against Frank Shannon , justice of the ooaco in nnd for West Omnha precinct. Duncan Turner was the complainant , nnd in his charge ho stated thnt bhatjnon had taken illegal fees. Mr. Pnddock said it was a matter for the courts. Mr. Stonborg Insisted that the coramiE.- sionors could net ns a coutt to hear the chnrges. The whole mutter was referred to the com- mltteo on judlclnry nnd Instructed to lix a day for hearing evidence in the case. Six hundred of the residents und taxpay ers of the county petitioned and asked that John J. Mahoney bo rct&inod us superinten dent at the poor farm.

In his contract ho ncroes to furnish Nebraska manufactured goods. Mr. Berlin offered a resolution that all dogi outside the corporate limits of the city b ? listed br the assessors. Air. Paddock did not think that the statutes provided any such thing. Air. Stenborg said the taxing of dogs was for the benefit of the farmers. The money arising from such taxation would be placed in a special fund and when any sheep owned by farmers were killed by dogs , they , the farmers , would bo reimbursed by the dumago being paid out of the fund. The resolution was killed and tbo dogs , vill go free. The committee on court house and jail re ported against purchasing call bells for Counly Judge Ellor's office.

The arrangement ot the Lls/t rhapsody is particu larly musicianly , the famous dltcctor of the president's band showing line discrimination in its rounded form.
