FIGHT TUB FISH COMMISSION .
j
A determined effort was made to ntrlko
out the entlro appropriation for the Stata
Fish commission. At flret the motion , which
was made by Wright of Nuckolls , was
looked upon as a Joke , hut there proved to
bo a most determined effort to do away with
the commission by refuolng the appropria
tion for Its support. Woostcr of Merrlck
led the opposition , ho declaring that It
would bo a good policy to let the fish remain
where they are In the hatcheries and "hatcl
tiy themselves" for two yeara. Young ol
Cass and Shull of Ncmaha supported the
efforts of Wright and Wooator. On the
other hand Roberta of Douglas warmly de
fended the fish commission and when thereto
rote was counted the appropriation was
agreed to by a largo majority.
The house , also voted to strike out the ap
propriation for the Visiting Hoard for the
Soldiers' Homed.
Toward the close of the session Wlmberloy
of Lancaster moved that an Item of $1,000
bo Inserted for the State Library board.
Dobson of Flllinoro moved as an amend
ment that $1,000 bo appropriated for the
State Farmers' alliance. On a viva voce
vote Dobson'o amendment was declared car
ried , but on dlvlslon.lt was lost. The re
publicans voted solidly for the proposition ,
while It was opposed by all tho' fuslonisls
except Doboon , Gramlotaff and Eager. Wlm-
berley's motion was also lost.
The bill , as It was finally agreed to , car
ried the following miscellaneous Items :
Revenue books and blanks , $8,000 ; abstract
Of lands from United States land office ,
$1,000 ; advertising proposals for state printIng -
Ing , $300 ; prosecuting unauthorized com
panies or their agents , $500 ; laws , Journals
nntl other printing required under contract ,
$12,500 ; support of State Hoard of Agricul
ture , $1,000 ; support of State Board of
Horticulture , $2,000 ; refunding state taxes
Illegally levied , $1,000 ; county treasurers'
fees and mileage for collecting state taxes ,
$100,000 ; fugitives from justice , officers' fees ,
etc. , $30,000 ; support of State Poultry asso
ciation , $2,000 ; support of Nebraska Dairy
men's association , $2,000 ; for State Board
of Health. $200 ; total , $103,500.
The only business transacted by the house ,
nslilo from the general appropriation bill ,
was the action taken early In the morning
session In refusing by a vote of 45 ta 46 to
order to a third reading the bill appropriat
ing $20,000 for additional buildings for the
utato experiment farm. The bill went to the
general file. No attempt was made to hold
a night session , as a fusion caucus was on
the program and the house , therefore , ad
journed until tomorrow morning.

HI.1C1IOII.V l.OSKS A TAX CASE

DASSETT , Neb. , March ' 11. ( Special. )
The March term of tbo district court for
Rock county convened hero yesterday with
Judge Westovcr presiding. Tbo docket was
very light and all cases which were ready
for trial were disposed of during the day
and evening.
B. T. White of Omaha , assistant general
attorney for the Elkhorn roaO , was hero In
the trial of a case between the county and
the railroad company , Involving the question
of 'the collection of aomo taxes assessed
against the company's line of road In this
county for school purposes. The Nowporl
school district and another school district
near that place in November , 1895 , had at
tached to them the territory of a depopu
lated district which contained some of the
ci&ipany's.llno of road. . The company refused
to pay the school taxes for 1S9C on the portion
of the road which was In the depopulated
district , claiming that tbo territory of the
depopulated district was Illegally attached
to the other districts. The county treasurer ,
for the districts , claimed that the attach
ment of the territory was legal , and a'so that
the statute of limitation had run against the
company , no action by tie company having
been commenced within one year from the
tlmo the depopulated district was disorgan
ized and 'Its territory attached to the other
districts. The matter was submitted In an
agreed case and the court held that the facts
did not show a legal disorganization of the
district , and that the statute , of limitation
did not apply to the disorganization or
changing merely of the boundaries of school
districts.
Another legal question which was before
the court for determination was the question
of whether or not sureties on an official bond
are llablo for the wrongful acts of the official
where the oath of office was taken and the
bond delivered to the obligee within the
tlmo required by law , yet the bond was not
approved for a number of months thereafter
for the reason that the principal , being his
own successor In office , did not make a re
port of the money and property In his pos
session as such officer at the beginning of
the term for which tbo bond In question was
given. Judge Westovcr held that the sureties
were liable.
There were no criminal cases on the docket
this term.

ST. PAUL , i Minn. , March 11. It has
snowed furiously all day In' St. Paul , sev
eral Inches being added to the tremendous
pllo already on ; th'o ground. The cars of the
street railway are moving with great diffi
culty and the steam railway lines are In a
etato of demoralization. At several points
north and west of St. Paul trains are wholly
abandoned and little effort Is being made to
move rolling stock.onbranch lines. So cer
tain Is It that there will be a big flood when
the snow disappears that residents on the
lowlands are beginning to prepare- for It.
The present storm , extending over the en
tlro Mississippi valley. In the shape of either
rain or snow , will further handicap railway
traffic. The railroads that had not yet suc
ceeded in getting all thtlr branches opened
'or travel are again .set back In their work.
Before the present storm came floods were
predicted In1 the Hed river valley and towns
were reported suffering from want of coal
and provisions on account of the lack of
railroad communications. The storm has
prevailed all day throughout South Dakota ,
Minnesota , Iowa and Wisconsin , many places
reporting a full-fledged blizzard , and all tell-
ng of heavy snow , the lightest fall being

Mrs. Nora Moyera , who lives at 1708 Cali
fornia .street , and la employed In a dress
making establishment in thcy.Karbach block ,
: "
Is In a quandary regarding -j/ip/ sposltlon
to make of a husband. Pern ? J V solution
the man , D. R. Meyers , Is being held at tlio
pollco station on the charge of "disturbing
the peace by loud and profane language am
tumultuous and offensive carriage on the
street. "
The difficulty between the husband am
wlf9 has been of long standing. It reachec
a sensational climax some- weeks ago , when
Meyers appeared In the establishment where
his wife was employed and with a revolver
In sight made a demand tliat shs return to
him. The woman was , fortunately , away
at the time. Complaint was made to tbo
pollco , but the matter was allowed to drop.
Meyers and his wife were married some
years ago In Memphis , both having been In
the matrimonial harness before , and both
having chldren. Meyers made so much
trouble for his wife that the latter finally
left and came to this city and secured em
ployment. Meyers followed her shortly after.
Ono day ho met his wife on the street walkIng -
Ing with another man. Ho at once began
to pursue her , and repeatedly urged her to
give up her employment. She refused to do
this , because they would then have no means
of support , as the husband had no employ
ment. Ho told her repeatedly that he would
kill her , and she says that she fears that
some day b.9 will put his threat Into exe
cution.
Wednesday Meyers visited the dressmaking
establishment In the Karbach block In scarcli
of his wife. Ho was loud and threatening ,
and one of the tenants of the building offered
protection to the woman. The couple went
to the pollco station to make complaint , and
Meyers followed. When tlio story was told
the husband was put In jail and the charge
was booked against him , Mra. Meysrs does
not care to prosecute her husband , but wishes
him to bo placed In a position where ho can
not do her harm or Interfere with her.
Yesterday afternoon Meyers was allowed
a continuance of a week and was released
on his own recognizance. Ho was at once
rearrested by n constable from Justice of
tlio Peace Foster's court , where steps are
to bo taken to place him under bonds to
keep the peace.

Yesterday , for the first time In two
years , every man who wanted work on the
streets was given a Job. The street com
missioner was directed by the Hoard of Pub
lic Works to push the street cleaning as
rapidly as possible and to glvo work to
every man who was waiting at the tool-
house. Kvcry man who appeared at the
city hall during the forenoon In quest of
work was given a note to the foreman , di
recting that official to put the applicant at
work. The entire force thus started on the
streets aggregates something over fifty men.
The marked falling off In applications for
work Is considered by Chairman Munro an
Indication that Industrial conditions In
Omaha have decidedly Improved during the
past few months. At tills time last year
the city liall was literally Inundated with
men who wanted work. Thcro was scarcely
an hour of the day when there wore not
fifty of them somewhere about the building.
Many of the applicants were In genuine dis
tress. They had wives and children who
were without the necessaries of life and
many a sad s'ory ' was told in support of
their plea for oven a few days employment.
If every man who came had been put to
work as was done yesterday there would
have been enough of them to clean up u
dozen cities like Omaha. Hut now the en
tire list of applicants la exhausted and no
more men have been employed than were
actually desirable In order to carry on the
work. This Is taken to Indicate that there
Is not one unemployed man Jn Omaha now
where thcro were ten a year ago. Some of
the men who were idle last year have found
work and others have loft the city. The
result t a material Improvement In the
conditions that Is considered very encourag
ing ,
