On mo tion of House the report was received ami placed on file. Clark of Ulchardson , from the special com mittee to Inqulio why the reports of the state departments had not been printed ten days prior to the opening of the legislature , re ported that the fault laid at the door of the cx-commlssloner of public lands and buildIngs - Ings , and that the State Journal company had promised to have the reports ready by tomorrow morning. Grandstaff , from the committee on sol diers' and sailors' homes , sent up a written request that his committee be excused from attendance on the liouso from Tuesday neon until Friday morning in order that it might go to Grand Island and Milford and visit the homes. Jenkins raised the obj3ctlon that there had been appointed a general committee of six to visit all the state Insti tutions and that he did not favor any moie Junketing commissions.

Pollard sent up a resolution that a com- mltteo of flvo b'e appointed 'by ' the speaker to Investigate the sugar beet industry and report a. , bill along the lines of encourage ment to new factories. Speaking to his resolution Pollard said that when he had previously Introduced this resolution he had been told that there wns a bill then pending for encouragement of the Industry. Since then that bill had been indefinitely postponed. He now again presented the resolution. Wooster wanted the "bill" provision struck out , but his amendment to this effect was defeated , and Pollard's resolution car ried. Eastman had read a petition asking that the legislature appropriate $10,000 for en couragement of farmer's Institutes. The potltlon was referred to the committee on manufacturers and commerce. Jenkins moved a resolution that no money be paid out for visiting committees until tholr. blJiijjjad "been audited by the speaker and" allowed by the houses In a bill appro priating1 funds vforj.th.Is > pu.gpose ; ' agreed to. In accordance' "With" Pfallard's , beet ugar resolution , SpoakeY' Gatlln appointed the fol lowing committee to Investigate and re port concerning the heet sugar Industry : Pollard of Cass , Sheldon of Dawes , Soder- man of Phelps , Woostcr of Merrlck and Roddy of. Otoe. At this point a spirited debate sprung up concerning a resolution passed last Fri day to the effect that a committee pf six ba named to visit all the state Institutions and report to the house. Jenkins claimed that It had been revoked. Clark of Lan caster declared that it should have been reconsidered which , he claimed , had not teen done. Ho held that the appointment of the committee of six did not , and could not. Interfere with the work of the com mittee on asylums. The matter was left In this shape after extensive readings from Roberts" Rules of Order , and sharp verbal exchanges between Jenkins and Clark of Richardson. A number of bills were read for the second end time and referred to committees , and the speaker announced bills on third read ing IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. The committee's substitute for house roll No. 37 was first on the list. It amends section 53 of chapter Ixlx , Session Laws ol 1S95 , mul provides that the owners ol ditches crossing public highways shall properly bridge the same at their own ex pense. It was found that the amendments had not been properly printed and the bill was laid over for the same cause. A num ber of members complained that a great many hills were missing from their flies mid that they were In a bad condition gen erally. Speaker Galiln pledged his word to the house that ho would personally see that the matter was investigated and the much needed reforms In the fllo room ef fected. House roll No. 174 was at last found In a proper shape for consideration , although imo or two members complained that It was not to bo found In their files.

IIAI-F A DAY OP IIAHIJ TAMCIXG. .SiMiutorn Spenil tin ; Afternoon In I'nlrlotlc Oratory. LINCOLN , Fob , S. ( Special. ) The senate commenced a now week at 2 o'clock this afternoon with most of the members pres ent , The Sunday recess was evidently a day of rest In real earnest , for no reports from standing committees were received and few new bills were ready , for Introduc tion. The greater part of the afternoon was spent In commltteo ot the whole. Mr. Lee Introduced a Joint resolution au thorizing the commissioners of public lands and buildings to select the school lands ac cruing to the state In the old Fort Randall military reservation. The house bill for the appropriation of $40,000 for the payment of the Incidental expenses of the- present legislative session was read the third time and passed. The bill to 'ax all state and private banks In order to create a fund for the protection o ; depositors of Insolvent banks was read the third time , but It was then discovered Ih'it ' not only had' ' serious errors crept Into the engrossed copy. but that the bill Itself would , If passed , practically repeal the state depository law. After a desultory discus- don , In which It was easily seen that un less It could bo radically amended It was doomed to defeat , Its author , Mr. Johnson , moved that It bo recommitted to the com mittee ot the whole and the senate agreed. The senate , having completed the regular order , went Into committee of the whole to : onsldor bills on general fllo , with Senator Watsou of Sallno In the chair , The only hill considered was senate fllo o , 11 , to authorlflo county attorneys to cm. ploy assistants In certain cases. The bill was recommended for passage and the com mltteo rose. Mr , Canaday , from the committee on edu cation , reported senate file No. 110 , provld- ng for the display of the Un'ted States flag on every school building In the state , with the recommendation that It be Indcll- iltely 'postponed. The , report of the com- nlttco was adopted , no effort apparently be- ng mode to ascertain the nature ot the bill to be postponed. Later .Mr. Caldwell moved that tbo' vote by which the bill was postponed .bo re considered ; but the- motion was declared out ot order by the lieutenant governor , for the reason that It bad not been made by one who voted affirmatively. Finally. Mr. Haller stated that ho had voted atlirmatlvcly and therefore moved 'that the > oto bo recon sidered EVERYBODY A * PATRIOT , The scnato then found Itself in the midst of the liveliest kind1 of a debate on the sub- ect of patriotism. Mr. Ransom stated that 10 favored the indefinite postponement of ho bill , Ho declared that the people of this country were going "flag crazy , " Ho was opposed , ho said , to this buncombe way ot running the schools. The flag wns the cm ' blera of the power of the United States r.ni appropriately belonged to the forts , tni army and the nnvy. If It wns to be ills plsycd over Infants studying their prlmrr' ' , It would soon lose Its Importance ns nt I emblem of power. If the flag was made s < i common It would soon lose the respect o the American people. Ho closed by de clarlng that the bill had been Introduced I ; 1 the Interests of the bunting trust that hne 1 In the last campaign contributed $60,000 tt i the republican party and In turn drew oul $122,000. Mr. Conawny of York spoke briefly li reply to the remarks of the senator froir Douglas. Mr. Caldwell replied to Hansom with some heat. He stated thnt ho wns not surprised , at the opposition of the senator from Doug- Ins. Ills opposition wns to be expected of a man who was born In a state that had beci hold In the possession of the rebels , lit was not surprised , ho Bald , that a man wh < came from a state whoso people had op posed the marches of the union arml1" : would have the nightmare whenever th < flag was mentioned. Mr. Murphy asked In the brief remark ; ho made that the vote on Indefinite post ponement be reconsidered In a spirit ot fair , ness to the author of the bill. Mr. Ransom made a lengthy reply to the senator from Nuckolls , prefacing his re marks with the statement that he dosplscc the patriotism that attacks a matt because of the state of his birth. He ridiculed the pretensions of patriotism advanced by the republican party lu the last campaign , nnc claimed that the genuine patriotism was displayed by the men who with hlmsell voted with the common ncople In nn cfforl to save the free Institutions ot the republic. Mr. Muffly of Madison stated that the people - plo of Nebraska wore too poor to buy Hags and claimed that In his own school dis trict the taxpayers were so poor that they wore compelled to run In debt for a fo\v coplca of n text book on history. The mo tion to reconsider was lost. The senate then nt 5:45 : adjourned until tomorrow morning. LINCOLN'S CHAUTUIl , Kreo Silver ForccN MnvliiK < < > Olitnln a Hold oil City AITnlfH. LINCOLN , Feb. 8. ( Special. ) The free silver leaders In the city of Lincoln have mixed up a noxious dose for their republican brethren , and the legislature has been called upon to see that It Is duly administered. The republicans are largely In the majority In Lincoln , and have gen erally controlled all departments of the city government , as well as the fire and police departments. The free sliver men propose to take possession of some of the offices In splto of the many republican protests , and to this end have complied a new char ter , which has already been Introduced in both branches of the legislature. One ol the provisions of this new charter calls for a board of fire and police commissioners tc be appointed by the governor. Under the present law the fire and police dcpartmenta are under the control of the excise board , the members of which are elected. Under the new charter the ponullsts would be placed In the control , ana a man Is already watting for every place In both depart ments. But , throwing the politics of the proposed 'new ' charter aside , there Is ono feature which Is at least Interesting to more Inter ests than ono In , the capital city. The new charter. If It becomes a law , will authorize the city council to purchase the street rail way system of Lincoln at tax or Judgment sale. The Lincoln Street Railway company , of which Brad D. Slaughter has boon re ceiver for more than two years past , la delinquent In Its taxes due to the city for an amount closely approaching $100,000. There seems to be no Immediate prospect of more prosperous times for the street rail way company , and the taxes continue to pile up at an "astonishing rate. The city of Lincoln may yet be the first In the United States to operate Its own street railway system. FUSION PAIITY 1IOLIJS A CAUCUS.

Special warrants may be registered and are to draw Interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum from the date of registration to date of payment. If purchased for the permanent school fund the special warrants are to draw 5 per cent from the date of their pur chase until their redemption. After Mr. Stewart had finished his remarks Represen tative Fclker of Omaha read a 'letter re ceived by Congressman-elect W. L. Stark from W. A. Nash , attorney-general of the state of Mississippi , who wrote favorably of the operation of the law In Mississippi. CUTS OFF A FAT FEE OFFICE. II1I1 to Put lliv Supreme Court Cleric on n Snlnry. LINCOLN , Feb. 8. ( Special. ) If the present session * of the legislature has ItH way about the matter the office of clerk of the supreme court now considered ono of the most lucrative In the gift of the state will be reduced to a level with the clerkship ot an ordinary county. Under the present law the clerk of the supreme court counts his salary In the fees that he draws. He accounts to no ono but himself.

FII03IISC OF A WO.VDEUFUfc CHOP. Great Moisture lit the Ground .11 alien Farmers Feel Gluil. NORTH LOUP , Neb. , Feb. 8. ( Special. ) The annual summary of the state weather service records , kept at this station , shojvs that the precipitation from August 30 , or the close of the growing season , to December 31 , was 5.74 Inches , exceeding that of the same months preceding the notably heavy crop season of 1891 by 1.65 Inchea. Gener ally speaking , thlg Is Indicative of a re markably promising condition of the soil at the present time , especially since but llttlo wind has occurred to evaporate the mois ture , and , Indeed , the surface of the ground has been more or less frozen a large part of the time , making evaporation Impossible. With this , amount of moisture stored In the ground during the autumn , It may confidently be expected that the coming season will be one of abundant crops and many are- pre dicting a repetition ot the enormous yields of 1891. Whether or not their hopes shall meet with full realization In this particular , It cannot be disputed that present conditions are very promising Indeed for the agricul tural outlook for 1897.

Mueuto- ferlng's ' pupils , given yesterday at the Woman's club rooms , attracted an audience which filled the large hall to overflowing. Music lovers have learned from past experi ence to expect much In the way of artistic gratification from thepe public exhibitions of Mme. Mucntefering's efficiency as a teacher of the piano-forte , and they were not disap pointed in the entertainment of yobterday , which was fully up to the high standard set by former recitals. The program was an enjoyable one. In which tne names of con temporary Slavonic composers were notice ably prominent , three out of the eleven num bers being by Moszkowskl , and one each by Paderewskl and Dvorak. The new Stolnway grand piano , recently chosen by Leopold Godonsky and purchased by the Woman's club , was publicly heard for the first time on this occasion , and was generally admired. Mine. Muenteferlng disappointed her friends , to whom her solo performances are always a source of pleasure , by not permit ting herself to be heard except In company with others. Her admirably subordinated accompaniment to the violin concarto , how ever , the sustaining force of her work at the second piano in the duets with her pupils , ind the Inspiring brilliancy of her leadership In the quartet , all showed her the genuine irthto she never falls to be. With Mme. Muentoferlng , Mr. FranAdelmann played the drat movement of Mendelssohn's violin : oncerto , nnd In response to an enthusiastic recall played the andante movement of the same great work. Each public appearance 3f Mr. Adelmann as a solo performer shows in advance toward a place among the maa- : ers of the violin. Sympathy and right feei ng he has always had In a marked degree ; ind technical skill in abundant measure la } elnpr rapidly added thereto. The program began with a pretty "Couii- .ry Dance" by Kevin , very acceptably played jy Misses nthol Morrison and Marion John- ion. Miss Johnson was also heard alone ater In the afternoon in the quaint "Kin- lerscenen" by Kullak. Another Knlluk lumber was "L'etolle du Nord" for lour lands , played -with excellent expression and luent technique by Misses Susie Drady and larlean Curtis , Miss Grace Leonard offered i very Intelligent Interpretation of aderewskt's dainty "Cracovienne Fantns- : lque. " Miss Ellis and Miss Morse played i "Danse Rustlqtio" by Mason and a iloszkowskl polonaise , respectively. The wo duets in which Mine. Muentefering tool ; ) art were admirably done , the- first , with dhs Lomax , being MocxKowskl's familiar 'Italy , " and the second , Salnt-Saens' wild nd solemn "Danao Macabre , " superbly played ly Miss Woolworth at the first piano. The ivorak quartet , being numbers 6 and S if the "Slavonic Dances. " Ijarij a well- ilgh faultless rendering at the hands of Mme. ( lueutefering , Miss Kquntze , Mrs. Crofoot nd Mrs , Llnsey. In her solo playing of the Moszkowekl raltz ( op. 34) ) Miss Susie .Brady . showed nblll- les which were not surpassed by any other lerformer on tha afternoon's program. It s rare to find so young a pianist with so omplete a command of the keyboard and so ull a development of thfl artist soul. With ttrlbutes such as these , she may go very far ndced. So far as the audience was observed , not a 'otnan ' , except the players , took her hat off. 'o bo sure , the assemblage wan overwhelm- igly feminine , and doubtless the contcmpla- lon of a rear view of so much headgear as rather agreeable than the reverse to the ittjorlty.

At n special meeting last night the Cen tral Labor union decided to draw up n protest against the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Expo sition appropriation bill as It has bce-n In troduced , In thu legislature. A commltteo of three , consisting of Grabach , Clark and Bell , was appointed to draw up this protest and have It printed. Copies to the number of 260 were ordered printed nnd these nro to bo taken to Lincoln by two members of the committee for distribution. This committee Is further empowered to see that the friends of labor In the legisla ture work for the amendments which the Central Labor union desired to be Incor porated In tbo appropriation bill. Thcso amendments provided that labor on the ex position shall be employed but eight hours a day at a minimum scale of $1.50 a day. The fact that these amendments were not found In the bill Introduced called forth the special meeting. It was also determined thnt this com mltteo should attend the meeting of the board of exposition directors today to In- vlto a committee from thnt body to a con ference In the labor matter. It this confer ence should be held the labor union would endeavor to persuade the board commltteo to recommend the adoption of the union's ilesired amendments by resolution. It Is not expected , however , that the Invitation will be accepted. In case of a refusal to confer , the union committee will then go to Lincoln to lobby ngalnst the bill as now prepared. The mem bers will try to have It so arranged that the appropriation shall never leach the hands of the board of exposition directors , but shall bo expended by a state board of managers. At least one-half of this board shall consist of laboring men. - This plan ot campaign was decided upon , after a discussion that lasted over thrco liours. It was practically the only matter : onsldcrcd , although a motion was made that the action of the union In rccqm- : nondlng the selection of the poor fa'rm site for the exposition be rescinded' . The notion was not allowed to come up on tha { rounds that the meeting , bqjng apbcln.1 , : ould not consider It. Useful Until as a Fncid nnd as n Alcdlclne. Its Sovereign Medicinal Virtues.
