The senate also expedited a hi having for
Its object the construction of wagon brlcge

boulilary river of the state or Nebraska anti
- ale
to- provide for levying a tax for Ilyllg the
same and the Interest thereon. Whie the
1)111 Is general In its provisions , It Is intended -
tended to lit the exigencies of tw Sioux City
case. I Is asserted that there Is a crylug
cemane for a bridge between the two points
Ilamed. Congress gave a charter to a com-
Jlany to build such a bridge , but the com- :
] any never built the structure. At the last '
tebllol of congress a charter was granted
to the Iowa and Nebraska Urllge company
for the constructol or a wagon bridge. I
Js this company that has interested Itself
II the bill pending II the enato. I Is Itsel
posed to ImlL a 75OOOO bridge across the
river , arid the Dakota county people are expected -
pected to vote hands to aid In the work. As
an argument II favor of the bi I has been
urgell that al the day following the removal -
movat or the temporary pontoon bridge two
: : weeks ago no : : wngons were massed on the
Nebraska side and 10 over In Iowa waiting
for the establishment of a ferry.
The commmittee on highways and bridges
recommended that the amencments to the
bill be printed and I ordered engrossed for
third reading. The senate agreed
. Among the reports from sanding committees -
tees was ana from the judiciary commtlee
recommenclng the indefInite postponement
of senate file No. 332. Senator Wright the
z author of the bill . protested against the
recommendation and explained the bil I
provides that "when widow
a shall bo en-
titled to dower out of any land which shall
shal
! ave been alienated by the husband In hIs
Jletme , such lands shall be estimated In
setting out the wldow's dower according to
their value at the time they were alienated ,
and this law shall apply to all sales under
Cxccnton or order of court heretofore or
11ereCer made. " Wright explained that the
bill appled particularly to the estate of the
late ex-Governor David Butler. The widow
of the ox-governor had recovered dower In
a large numbcr of lots In the city of Lincoln
, whIch had been aliened by her husband
twenty years ogo. Some at these lots were
Bohl for a3 low as $80 , but Mrs. Butler has
commenced Eult to recover dower to the
k t amount of $3,000 01 each of these lots The
cults arc now pending In the district court
of Lancaster and It Is
connty , expected that
more will be filed. Under WrIght's bill the
Cower Interest on the lots In controversy will
t be estmatec at their value twenty years
ago Instead of at theIr present valne. The
judicIary committee recommended the In-
de/nll postponement of the bill for the rea-
aol that the bIll II not only retroactive In I.
effects , but that It h i contrary to tIm broad
rInciples ) of the English common law Under
the present law the widow Is entitled to
( lower based 01 the value of the land at
the tme the snit I brcught. The Butler
cases have been pending In the courts for
reyeral years . Mrs. Butler claimed a dower
interest In the lots based upon theIr value at
tht date of her hmband's death , on the
ground that her dower Interest accrued at
that tIme. The district court upheld her
claim and the SUII'cme court tUfirinod . The
' bIll was placell on general file.
