ument us signed by the executive. Ho
chuckled not n llltlo at the discomfiture of
the faction that had tried unsuccessfully to
legislate him out of office. Ho gleefully remarked -
marked that ho thought It qulto proper to
Impeach people out of ofllce. but ho droxv the
line at being legislated out. Ho could not
help a self-congratulatory mlle over the
thought that the very ones xvho had
attempted to legislate him out had
vonly succeeded In legislating themselves out
into the balmy spring sunshine minus a job.
Couldn't .Miike the III 111 ? .
Every heart-beat in tin nntl-Hosoxx-ator
breast tonight sends several ounces of liquid
grief cavorting through the arteries of an
intensely disappointed Individual. The ene
mies of TUB BCK had fondly hoped that
house roll2t. : ! would become u loxv , In order
that their desire for revenge might bo grati
fied. Everv ruse known to the skillful
parliamentarian xvas called Into piny , but
without avail. Every move In the senate
* durlng the twenty-four hours preceding the
defeat of tlio bill xvas made solely xvlth refer
ence to assisting tlio bill. When bills on
third reading xx-cro before the senate
last night It xx-as the sole intention of the
nntl-Uoqewatcritca to keep the body In ses-
"slon niiil pass tlio measure before the sena
tors xvcrc alloxved to disperse. When the
bill was reached , its promoters xvero fearful
' that they could not muster sufficient x-otes
and a recess xvas taken. This morning all
clso wns lost sight of In the attempt to se
cure the necessary seventeen votes to pas
the measure. The 1)111 xvas placed on its pas
sage , but a single roll call did not satisfy.
The roll was called over repeatedly and the
announcement of tlio vote xx-as delayed
fully a quarter of an hour in order that tlio
proselyting might continue in the hope that
the lacking votes might somoxvhoro
or somoboxv bo found. The final an
nouncement of the result. made
kno.vn the fact that three months of per
sistent olTort and Innumerable columns of
journalistic gush and slobber ox-er supposedly
HUsceptlblo senators , had been recklessly
throxvn axx-ay. The pill was a bitter one ,
but it had to go ( joxx-n. Tlio nausea It cre
ated in tlio internal economy of tlio foxv xvlio
sought revenge and fouii'I it not , finds re-
llof tonight in tlio hearty and xvholesalo
abuse of such senators ns xvero counted on to
lend themselves to the sohemo , but failed to
stand up and bo counted to gratify personal
spleen.
Commences .Monday.
The Impeachment cases nro set for trial
before the supreme court on Monday , but it
is understood that the defendants xvill
simply bo arraigned nt the present time ami
rules adopted for the government of the
trial , and that the defendants xvill then bo
given time in xvhich to prepare for trial. It
is not believed that the trial proper will
begin for several days.

shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. Hut
little business xx-as tr.insictoJ : during the
forenoon , oxvmg to the confusion which is a
time honored feature of the last day of a
logislatlx'o session. Savcral members suc
ceeded In having favorite measures pushed
through. The resolution providing for the
payment of the expenses of the Douglas
county contest x\-as adopted , but not until
the senators had a little goo.l imtureil fun at
the cxppuso of Senator L/jbeek , xvho x\-as
called to the chair to preside over the com
mittee of ttio whole xx-hilo the resolutions
xx'ero pending.
Senator North offered the folloxving ;
I move that tliu senate express to the pro-

In the discharge of his duties as the pru.sldlni ;
olllcerof this body during the txventy-thlrd

his strict enforcement nt parliamentary law
and his impartiality , has commanded the rc-
xpcct and admiration of tlio mumbcrs of this
honorable body , and In bidding him adieu wo

suirrages of tils fulloxv citizens In Nebraska.
IiiflcpoiutiMits Itctusttd to Kiulnrso It.
The roll xvas called upon the adoption of
the motion and it rocei\-ed the votes of all
the republican and democratic i members.
The Independents present refrained from
voting , except Htoxvart , who voted ' -no" in a
voice xvhich left no doubt as to the Intensity
of Ins feeling against the lieutenant gov
ernor.
Finally Senator Thomson , who had been
selected as the special champion of house
roll No. 2i : ! : , succeeded in having that bill
placed on linal passage. It was read and the
roll call commenced. But three or four sen
ators voted on either side , and Thomson de
manded a call of the house.
IlllstUllt ; Tor Hitchcock.
Fix'o friends of tno bill seconded the de
mand and the doors wore closed. For nearly
half an hour Walt Seeloy and others
skirmished the corridors and did their best
to drum up a constitutional majority.
Finally when they thought they had enough
the call xvas raised. A fexv more senators
voted for the bill , until nine in all had
arrayed themselves on Its side. The roll
call xx-as repeated time after time , until by
entreaties and expostulations thirteen voted
for the bill. Hut thirteen was all , and tlio
lieutenant governor announced the result.
The bill failed to receive a majority , and the
measure for xvhich the enemies of THE IJnn
had labored so painfully and so assiduously
for six xveeks lapsed back into the oblivion
from which it emerged.
Those xvho voted for the ' bill were : Camp
bell , Correll , Graham , Hale , Mattes , Mo-
Carty , North , I'ackxx'ood , Pope , Saundcrs ,
Scott , Stoxvart , Thomson 13.
The following senators voted against the
bill : Darner , Dysart , Eggleston , Kvcrett ,
Gray , Iliihn , Harris , Loxvley , Moore , Tcftt
Senators Babcock. Clarke , Dale , Loboek ,
McDonald , Mullen , Smith and Young were
either absent or refrained from voting.
< ! : v < i Up III Appropriations.
The long delay in the adjournment was
occasioned by the diflleulty experienced by
the txvo houses iu agreeing upon the amend
ments to the three largo appropriation bills.
Up to II o'clock this afternoon the senate
steadfastly refused to recede from its amend
ments. Tlio conference committee held re
peated sessions and xvas able to agree upon
everything except the amendment appropri
ating tlio money necessary to finish the noxv
library building for the state unix-ersity. At
about 4 o'clock Senator Moore moved that
tlio senate recede from its amendments , and
tlio opposition , wearied by the constant pres
sure , gave in. The liouso llnully concurred
in the senate amendments to tlio salary ap
propriation bill , and ono more obstacle was
removed.
Still later another agreement was reached
on the miscellaneous appropriation bill and
nothing remained but tlio clerks to enroll tlio
bills , The xx-ork consumed tlio balance of
the afternoon and the greater part of the
evening.
Trnubln Ovrra Hotel Kill.
During the afternoon considerable ill-feel
ing was engendered between some of the In
dependent senators and some of those repre
senting republican and democratic constitu
encies. The trouble arose over the action of
the senate committee on accounts and ex
penditures in allowing the bill of ono of the
local hotel keepers of ; ? ! ) . " > for meals and cots
furnished the independent senators during
ilio deadlock early In tlio week. Tlio senate
this forenoon adopted n resolution directing
the auditor of public account not to draw u
warrant for the amount.
J ate Uii&rvfVeiiioon Moore moved that this
vole bo reconsidered , but the senate refused.
Senator Paclexvood xvas the special cham
pion of the claim , and ho xx-as therefore sin
gled out for attack by a number of senators
on the other side. Graham , TolTt and North
claimed that tlio independent senators had
no right to ask the state to pay their board
bills. The debate grew rather acrimonious ,
and a doien senators gathered in the aisle
and continued tlio discussion.
Over MiiJnrV .Unnl.
Some ono on the Independent side made
the assertion that at least one republican
had eaten with the independents and noxv
refused to pav his bill. The republican re
ferred to xvas Lieutenant Governoi
Majors , xvho had accepted an invita
tion to ilino at the independent board. Miller ,
Graham and others at once called the lieu
tenant governor's attention to the state
nient , and ho promptly offered to pay for the
dinner to xvhich ho had been invited. The
hotel keeper refused to accept the money.
Senator Packxvood came Ic for a great aea'
of censure from the republican senators , and
for a while It looked as if a personal en
counter would take place botxvccn hlnisoli
and Graham. I'ackxvooil took the matte ;
very much to heart and xx-as visibly afTeotec :
by the severe and undeserved stricture'
passed upon his remarks. With tear ;
stro.tming from his eyes ho protested- thai
ho had made no remarks derogatory to tin
presiding ofllecr , and that the obnoiou !
statements xx-ero falsely attributed to-lilm.

LINCOLN , Neb. , April 8. [ Special Tele

some additional information this morning re
garding the action of State Auditor Moor
In refusing to pay enrolling clerks 75 cent

opportunity to make n statement and sali
that his refusal xvas based on the action o
the house , taken early in the session , p'-c
hlblting the paying of more than the rcgula
price for over timo.
Hhodes then denied that ho had Impugnc
the motives of the auditor in his speech o
the floor of the house last night , but th
statement xvas flatly contradicted from a
parts of the house. Hhodes then inslstc
that It xvas the statement of another part
and that ho had been misrepresented.

had pursued.
llurns moved that the speaker and chief
clerk be presented with the inkstands which
have figured so prominently. Hums put the
motion , und It xvas declared carried on u
clo o vote.
IIoxvo arosn and protested against this ac
tion. HP thought It a deserved complimentbut
stated that the house had no rliiht to vote

said the members mUht properly make the
present and announced that ho xvould tnico a
collection for the purpose of luylng for the

The investigating committee submitted
another report regarding the Beatrice Insti
tution for the feeble' minded It xvas a
reiteration of the Connor report and com
mended the system there In vogue.
Tlio Hetiato then appeared for the Joint
convention.
On the reconvenlngof the house Sheridan
introduced a resolutlan calling for an in
crease in tlio iKind of the auditor of stato.
Kliodes loudly seconded It as the last
chance offered him to smirch that olllclal ,
but the resolution xx-ns laid tin the table by
the vote of all ttio members but the pair from

ItortolntloiiH of Tliilllis. :

complete reports published. It received tlio
hearty endorsement of till but Ivyner , who
loudly yelled his disapproval.
( 'ratio , on behalf of the house- , presented
the chief clerk xvith a leather covered easy
chair.
At seven minutes before noon an assistant
gate keeper passed iloxvn the hall xvlth a
long step ladder. The members immediately
realized that ho had serious designs on the
house clock ox-er the speaker's desk and
a chorus of yells at once arose ,
'Let that clock alono. " The ladder was
raised beside the clock , hoxx-ox-er. and a dozen
independents croxvucd forxvard to pull It
iloxvn ,
Watson , who xx-as In the chair , insisted on
order , saying that no ono xx-ould go up the
ladder xviille lie xx-as there.
The roll call xvas ordered on a resolution
ilxing the amount the chief clerk xvas to re-
ceh'o for making up the journal , but before
it xvas completed the senate again appeared.
Somebody Changed the Kriiuliltloii.
The chief clerk asked permission to make
a statement , which was granted. Ho said
that a morning paper had printed xvhat
purported to boa requisition gix-en by him
for the inkstand and engraving thereon.
He said that the stand was brought to him
by 0110 of the Shilling Bros , as a present
from tlio secretary of state , and ho xvas
asked to issue a requisition for
the engraving of the OHO for
the speaker and for himself. Ho
gave this requisition , but learned afterwards
that the requisition had subsequently been
changed so as to make it an order for the ink
stands as xvell as for the engraving. Ho
wanted the explanation to go into the rec
ord. The request xvas granted.
McKesson entered a partial defense of the
action of the secretary of state and asked
that ho bo not censured too severely.
The liouso then considered the senate
amendments to tlio salary appropriation bill
just passed by the upper house.
( lot Tlrett of Waltlni ; .
IIoxx-o said ho had information Ironi the
senate that that body xx-ould probably concur
in the action of the house on the general ap
propriation bill , and that if the house would
bo patient for a short time it was very prob
able that an extra session could bo avoided.
Information xx-aareceived [ that the senate
refused to concur in the general appropria
tion bill and the house stopped further con
sideration of the salary bill.
Watson moved to adjourn sine dlo.
Hoxve asked the house to xx-ait a fexv min
utes and gix-o the senate another chance , fern
n foxv minutes might sa\'o an extra session.
On motion of Stevens a committee xvas ap
pointed to no'ify the senate that tlio house
had completed its business and xx-as about to
adjourn sino dio. Another committee x\-as
directed to wait on the governor and see if
ho had any further communication to make.
The house ordered 200 copies of the blue
book printed for its members. J
Finally They Got Together.
The house refused to concur in the salary
bill amendments and the motion to adjourn
xvas defeated by a vote of 1'J to 118.
Tlio secretary of the senate announced
concurrence in the action of the house on
the general appropriation hill. Tlio house
immediately reconsidered its action on the
salary bill and concurred in the senate's
action on the same.

CAsrEit , Wyo. , April 8. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : BEE. ] The presence of the immense
croxvil of sheep shearers and the mysterious
actions of the corps of surveyors made a
great Hurry in Casper real estate today. The
toxvnsito company sold fifty lots and thcro
xvas a largo number of private conveyances.
The survey that the present corps is hero to
cross-section xvas made several years ace by
Major Wilkes of Ogden , UT. , and was during
the past year , according to the records of the
United States land ofllce , sold to the Wyo
ming Central railway , supposed to bo a North
western branch. It extends .xvest from
Casper up the Platte river via Eagle Canon
over tlio Uattlesmiko mountains and thence
west up the Sxveet Water valley to some
point above Ogden.
Some twenty-live mlles of grading has al
ready been done in tlio south pass country
and about live miles of rails laid. This was
done to hold a valuable pass in the Green
I'lx'er mountains. The present corps of sur
veyors is under the charge of Colonel A. M.
Gibson of Denver xvho hail charge of the
surx-cying party that located the line of the
Cheyenne & Northern. S. II. Kogors of
Grundy Center , la. , ami Ed Kystom of Port
land , Ore. , each liax'o charge of a gang of
men.
About half the party loft this morning before -
fore daylight to reconnoiter the country
xx-cst of hero. Ono street report is that the
Eagle canon route will be abandoned and a
preliminary survey made from Casper via
Lost Cabin and the famous Oxvl crook hot
springs on the Shoshone and the Indian res-
erx-ation to Lander. This seeics reasonable
as it is fully fifteen miles nearer and
through a more productive country. The
air is full of rumors and the day lias , indeed ,
been ono of excitement and guessing. To
night's train will bring iu some nioro sur
veyors , and on Monday the wagons and
camp fixtures xvill bo here.
The toxvn is crowded with strangers and
beds nro at a premium , the hotels not being
able to accommodate moro than one-half
that are seeking hotel accommodations.

canto quickly to the center. Da xx-son began
business at once , and gave Uvan n hot lett
in the eye , which Uyan returned and rushed

Remedies ? They are the best in the world. " They cleanse the system
by internal and external medication of every eruption , impurity , and
disease , and constitute the most effective treatment of modern times.
Hence , since a cake of CUTICURA SOAP , costing 25 cents , is sufli-
dent to test the virtues of these great curatives , there is now no reason
why hundreds of thousands should go through life tortured , disfigured ,
and humiliated by skin and scalp diseases which are speedily and permanently -
manently cured by the CUTICURA REMEDIES at a trifling cost.
