Mr. Grnthan of Howard then offered a joint

Journcd till 2 o'clock.
WAUMS UP ON STOCK YATIDS.
After recess the senate put In the mos
exciting afternoon ot the present ses'slon
the contest coming over the first btruggli
over the bill to regulate the South Omihi
block yards. As soon as the senate had heel
called to order Mr. Miller , chairman of tin
committee on agriculture , reported bad
senate file No. 33 , Grothan'a bill to regulati
the stock yards , with "the reeommemlatioi
that It bo passed is amended. Mr. John
son of Clay offered a minority report slsne <
by himself , Farrell and Caldwell.
Mr. Ritchie moved that the majority re
port of the committee bo adopted.
Mr. Feltz moved that the minority repor
be adopted.
Mr. Gondrlng moved that the minority re
port bo Indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Caldwell moved as a substitute fo
all three motions that both reports and tin
bills accompanying them bo sent to the general
oral file.
After several points of order against thi
latcr ( motion the chair ruled that it wa :
In order and would be placed before thi
senate as soon as Mr. Gondrlng's motion t <
Indefinitely postpone had been disposed of.
Mr , Hansom said he hoped that the motloi
to Indefinitely postpone would not prevail
Why , he asked , was an effort being made t <
press the stock yards bill ? No telegraph
telephone or express bills had been , pressed
Why crucify this one Industry ? The sen
ate should act fairly. If the bill offered b :
the majority report was just , It would bi
passed. If it was not just , it ought not t <
be passed. Ho hoped that both report !
would be sent to the general file. Hanson
then proceeded to expose a few secrets froii
the committee room. He declared that twc
days ago the committee to which the stocl
yards bill had been referred had decided t <
report the minority bill by a vote of 5 t <
2. For some reason unknown to him tw <
members of the committee had changed theli
minds.
Mr. Farrell , ' one of the signers of thi
minority report , said that it was true tha
two days ago five of the seven member :
ot the agricultural committee had agrcei
to support the bill presented In the minor
Ity report. He did not know why two members
bers ot the committee had changed thcl :
minds. Ho wanted the minority repor
treated fairly. He represented a farmln ;
continually , but he was not sent to the legls
laturo to cripple any Industry that addei
to the prosperity of the state. He favoret
regulation of the stock yards , but ho woule
not support a radical measure.
Mr. Grothan , author of the stock yard :
bill , assorted that at.one time thethrcosen
itors who signed the. minority report hac
voted to support the bill prepared by the
majority. Ho did not know what means hat
been employed to Induce them to chang ;
their minds.
Mr. Ritchie explained the action of tht
committee. He said that It had been agrcei
to draw up a substitute bill , to which al !
3ovon members of the committee at firs !
lent their support. Afterward the three
members who signed the minority reporl
> bjected to section 3 ot the new bill , which
section fixes .the prices which may be
: harged for hay and grain at the stoch
, 'anla.
Mr. Deal slid that ho had always ob-
icrvcd that when It was desired to defeat a
neasuro desired by the people the opposl-
: lon always resorted to dilatory tactics ,
The adoption of the minority report , he
leclared , was a part of a scheme to de-
eat a stock yards bill. Thousands of shlp-
> ers were sending their ' stock to South
) maha , ho said , and If the charges there
voro unreasonable the loss falls upon the
armor. The farmers were demanding the
lassago of a stock yards bill and there was
10 necessity of considering the minority re-
) ort.
ort.HARHIS
HARHIS DAZES THE SENATORS.
At this point Lieutenant Governor Harris ,
ilthough the question had ' not been raised
ly any senator , made 'the announcement
hat ho would hold that If the majority
oport should eventually bo adopted the
ill ! could not bo considered In committee
if the whole , but must at once bo engrossed
or third reading and final passage.
The announcement seemed to daze the
enato for a moment. Then half a dozen
enators sprang to their feet and asked
ho president of the Donate to repeat his
ullng. Ho did so several times. The sur-
rlsa occasioned by the ruling was so gcn-
ral that for a time the motion under dls-
usslon was lost sight of nnd the senators
; athered together In little groups In dlf-
ercnt parts ot the chamber , to talk over a
ullng which , It enforced , overturns a
recedeut of twenty-five years' standing
, nd practically revolutionizes legislative
roccduro. After the senate had In n meas-
ire recovered from Its surprise Mr , Ilow-
11 spoke strongly against the motion to
definitely postpone and utgcd that bills
resented by the majority aud minority rc-
orts go to the general file without proj-
dlco.

IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
The bouse then went Into committee of tin
whole with Wooster in the chair. The com
mittee resumed consideration of house rol
No , 9G , which was laid over yesterday. II
Is an Insurance measure providing that nnj
association doing business In this stati
which provides for the payment of deatli
losses by assessment shall be deemed mutual
benefit associations and subject to the gen
eral Insurance laws of the state. There were
membero on the floor who believed that the
bill was aimed at fraternal associations ,
Soderman was one of them , and he made B
vigorous speech against the measure. Gaylord -
lord desired to know what was to be gained
by the bill. Burkett of Lancaster Introducer
at the measure , explained that ex-State
Auditor Moore had taken up certificates
which had been granted mutual companies
because the word "sickness" was not In the
law granting the privilege to foreign com
panies to do business in Nebraska. Burkett
said the bill did not In any way affect secret
snd fraternal societies. Following extended
lebate the bill was Indefinitely postponed
t > y a vote ot 39 tc 35.
House roll No. 131 , by Byram , Is an act
lo punish hog stealing , and provides for a
; ) onltontlary Imprisonment of five years.
Hull moved that the committee report the
sill for indefinite postposemcnt. Clark of
Lancaster eald that the majority should be
: areful how they voted , as there was a bll !
lending to repeal the law against horse
stealing. Hull's motion prevailed by a vote
if 53 to 23.
House roll No. 72 , providing for an ap-
jroprlatlon of $1,392 to reimburse the county
it Hurt for expenses incurred in the trial of
.ho persons charged with the killing of
Icorgo Phillips , was recommended to pass

House roll No. 211 , by McGec , provides for
he establishment of county poor houses.
Slmmerman moved for Indefinite poatpone-
nent. It failed and the measure was rccam-
ncnded for passage.
House roll No. 221 , by Eager , provides that
chool district boards shall have general
ihargo of schools and have the power to
; rade and classify the scholars , and that
iftcr July 1 , 1S9S , vocal music shall be
aught In all public schools. The question
v&s rained by Robertson , how a teacher
ould teach vocal music who knew nothing
.bout U ? Sheldon replied that there were
ew teachers capable of teaching who were
lot competent to Instruct pupils In the
udlments ot melody , Grosvenor and Fer-
low liearllly supported the measure. Hor-
ler did not believe It would bo right to re
use a certificate to a school teacher simply
iccauso he or she did not understand music ,
Clark of Lancaster drew out from Eager ,
ntroduccr of the bill , the fact that the music
iroviso was the only change from the pro-
Islons of the old law. 1IJ11 denounced the
illl as vicious. Behind Its provisions he
ould see a lot of singers running over the
talc and literally compelling school boards
o hlrn them to the exclusion of these well-
ducatcd teachers holding second grade cer-
Iflcatcs , who had no car for music.
The bill was recommended for passage by
5 to 12.

The Swedish Quartet company gave a
very Interesting and creditable perform
ance nt the Young Men's Christian associa
tion hall last evening In the presence of n
lamentably small audience. The quartet
consists of Mr. Charles A. Skoog , first tenor ;
Qcorgo Laur.on , second tenor ; A. E. Skoog ,
baritone , and W. E. McPhcrson , bass. Mr.
McPhcrson has the best voice In the organi
zation and would make a flue soloist with
study and experience. The club wns nn-
jlstcd by Miss Bertha Webb , violinist , whoso
playing brought forth enthusiastic applause ,
and Miss Jennie Shoemaker , a reader of un
usual excellence. She was dressed In a
most becoming gown and recited with a -XJ
skill that won for her the admiration of all -
jresont.
The work of Iho quartet was very cred
itable , but the first and second tenors are
ndt heavy enough for the baritone nnd bass.
The blending of the voices , the Intonation ,
the unity and general conception of expres
sion show careful training.

The railroads' claimed still another victim
ast evening In tha person of little Katlo
Uawlcz. A few minutes before 4 o'clock
i southbound Milwaukee freight ( rain struck
: ho child with terrific force , nnd after ca'rry-
ug the body for a distance of ninety feet ,
leposited It midway between the rails. The
iccident occurred near the crossing at
Pwenty-nlnth and Walnut streets , Sheeloy
station.
No ono was an eyewitness to the affair ,
iut a few minutes after It happened Albert
Jsmpauck saw the remains lying upon the
oadbsd and hastened to remove them.
Dath was instantaneous , aa the ontlro
ipper portion of the skull was removed by
he contact with the locomotive. The sec-
ion severed hung to the corpse merely by i
; shred of the scalp which remained , and
ho .fracture was performed as neatly as If
one by a surgeon's saw. The bralna and
lair of the unfortunate child were strewn
long the track for a considerable distance.
The manner In which the accident oc-
urred Is not known , but It Is supposed that
he child wna on the wny to her homo ,
/hluh is located at Twenty-fifth nnd Ban-
roft btreets , and was walking along the
racks , when aho met with her death. It
las learned that Katlo had been sent to
lie grocery store of Joe Clch , located about
wo blocks away on the west sldo of the
rack , nnd was on her return when overtaken
y the train. A lid belonging to the tin pall
rhlch she carried was found , and also some
Iscuits and bread , for which she had been
cut.
