The recount of the ballots caot for Ilia amendment h < u been the subject of much partisan contention and bitter ddbato from the very beginning ot the present session. The recanvass was practically aoked for by Governor Holcomb In Ills Inaugural message. A bill for the purpose was pro. pared tha first week ot the session , by J. II. Edmlrton , chief oil Inspector and chairman ot the populist elalo ccnlral commlltco , and J. C. Dahlman , secretary of the Slate Hoard of Transportation. The bill was Introduced simultaneously In both branches of the leg islature , In the house by Mr. Hull of Harlan and In the icnato by Mr. Ueorlng of Cass.

It was then enjoined by Judge Hall of the district court In and for Lancaster county , nt the Instance of O. M. Lambertson and C. O. Wbcdon of Lincoln. Without waiting to test the con stitutionality of the original recount law the legislature promptly repealed It and passed a new ono providing that the recanvass should bo mads by a leglalattvo commission. The now commission was composed of Sena tors Canaday of Kearney , Hoapy of Sher man and Sykes of Adams , and Representa tives Lcomls of fiiitler , Fernow of Adams , Gerdes of Richardson and Dobson ot Fill- more.

( Special. ) The sen ate gave all Us time today to the consid eration of the general appropriation bill. A determined fight was made to Incrcaso nearly every Item as If came from the honso , the etrongeat prosouro being made by the friends of the hospitals for the Insane at Lincoln and Norfolk , the Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City and the Soldiers' Home at Mlltord. Mr. Caldwell- republican of Nuck- oils , and Mrs. Lee , populist of Boyd , led the opposition to every attempt to Increase the amount appropriated "by the house. Mr. iCaldwoll offered an , amendment cutting down nearly cvwry. Uemt > whtleHlrt ; Lee spoke vig or , onsly dnoveryw'r ; proposition. The senate has. had > the bill under consideration since last Friday. It la the first of the large appropriation bills to bo taken up. There are three moro yet to bo considered and ntlH there" arc people who talk about a final adjournment being reached-on Thursday. The Items for the Hospital for the - Insane sane at Norfolk were adopted as follows : For employes' wages the house appropriated $27,000 , and the senate raised the amount to $30,000. For board and clothing , the house allowed $28,000 , and the ncnato made It $35,000. The enalo Increased the house appropriation for fuel and lights from $10- 000 to $13,000. For drugs $200 was added. \ The Item for furnlturo and bedding1 was raised > from $300 to $2,200. .Jinny minor Itoma were raised and ono > or two cut down. The Hospital for the Insane at Lincoln came In for a generous Increase. The Item of omp'oyes' wages was Increased from $39- 000 to $41,000 ; fuel and lights from $11,000 to $12,500 ; furnlturo and bedding from $1,200 to $2,000 ; general repairs , from $3,000 to $4,000. $4,000.FIGHT FIGHT ON THE MILFORD HOME. When the Soldiers' Homo at Mllford wad taken up Mr. .Icffcoat of Douglas movod'that the appropriation for employes' wages be Increased from $1,500 to $2,000 ; maintenance nnd clothing , from $7,500 to $9,000 ; laundry repairs , from $100 to $300 , Mr. Ritchie of Seward , the county In which the Mllford homo Is located , moved to strike from the bill the whale paragraph relating to the Institution. This would practically kill the Institution , for while the law cre ating the home Is still on the statute books , i the lack of funds would compel the state to close It up Immediately. i The motion provoked a vigorous , discus sion , In which the whole question of abolish. Ing the homo was reviewed. The sumo sta tistics quoted several weeks ago when the bill to abolish the Instill.tloti uas undnr dis cussion wore brought out and made to do duty again. Mr. Rltchio suld the old col- dlers of Sew aid county opposed the coutTnu- anco of the homn. Mr. Bcal of CuMpr said that 131 Grand Army posts of Nebraska had petitioned the legislature to maintain the Institution. Mr. Jrffcoat of Douglas , Air. Dundas of Ncmalia and Mr. Graham of Frontier urglied nt length against any ut- tenipt to discontinue the home. Mr. RaiiBom of Douglas spoke at length In favor of continuing the Institution at Mll ford. Ho was followed by Mr. Muflly of Madison , < vho also favored the Mllford home. Mr Feltof Keith and Mr. Fan-oil of Mer- rick favored tha Ritchie amendment and op posed tlio continuance of the 'Mllford ' Insti tution. Sir. Steele of Jefferson asked that whatever Iho state appropriated the amount should bo given cheerfully and without rancor , The senate took a leccss till 7:30 : this evenIng - Ing without action on the Ritchie motion. After recess the senate took up and passed houao roll No. 611 , providing for a coramlt- Is made nncccs- n i > y the im-ivBed seine pure condition of tlio blood nftor win ter's hearty foods , mid breathing viti ated air In homo , ofllco , schoolroom or shop.

Ho explained that this was one. of the most Important bills before the legislature. A. number of members objected for Iho rea son that the bill needed amending. Mr. Baldwin demanded roll call on his motion. Sheldon of Dawivj suggwte * that the best manner to proceed would be to moveto go Into committee of the whole for the purpose of considering the bill , but Mr. Baldwin said ho knew how ho wanted to proeo < jj without any suggestions. On roll call , the motion U > advance failed to secure the neco ary two-lhlrds vote. The vote was as follows : Fernow , McLeod. Mr. Speaker-31) .

The committee on telegraphs and tele phones , to which Jiad been referred senate file 251 , < a bill placing the ? regulation of tele graph and telephone companies under Ibe control of the State Board of Transportation , handed In a majority and a minority report. The former recommended the bill for In definite postponement. The minority report was signed by Gaylord ot Buffalo. Lemar of Sounders and Hllo ot Buffalo , and recom mended the bill for third reading , Wteho moved that the two reports bo at tached and the bill be placed on general ( lie. Sodorman said lo place Ihe bill on general file meant to kill It. Wooster eald that was why ho was In favor of the motion. Ho wanted the bill killed. Put It at the bottom of the file. The slale board had lee much power already. People ought to bo allowed to attend to their pwn business. This bill would bo a good moans whereby to extort campaign funds from the companies. BOAST FOR THE SENATE. Roberts epoko In the same strain. At the first part of the session ho had thought when a sonata bill came over , It was the , duty of the house to pass it without con sideration. Ho had learned different , The eenato scnl some of Iho most rotlen hills lhat over were heard of to the house with the expectalton lhat they would bo killed thero. This -was one of them. Ho for ono would vote to abolish the State Board of Transportation before he would vote for such a hill as this. It was meant to give three men an opportunity lo blackmail the com panies. Sodcrman talked for the hill. The legis lature ought not to go home without doing ftomothlng to rcgulato telephone and telegraph - graph rates. Yolser was for the bill. He told of the fm- menso revenue derived by the Nebraska Telephone company , and thought It was time to pul the company under state control. In answer to a question he said he did not know and did not care how much it coat to establish a telegraph or telephone line. The companies gave newspapers a very small rate , and charged tne common people a hlgb rate lo make up for It. Ho Imi paid fifty contfi this morning lo lalk over Iho wlro to Omaha , and ho did not think It waa any wear and tear on the wire. Hull talked 'In favor of the bill. Ho didn't think there was any such danger as eomo seemed to fear In placing this matter In the lianJs ot the State Board of Transportation. Complaint was to be made by Individuals. Roberts asked him If he thought this bill would work any reform If republicans were on the board , Hull replied : "I am not hero to say that because a man Is a republican he Is dishon est. Some of ihem are Just aa honest aa 1 am. " This was greeted with applause from the minority element , Oaylord moved the previous question , and delmto being cloced , the motion to place on eoncral ( Ho was put nnd losl by a vote ot 37 to 31. The minority report , ordering ths b.Hl to thlrcl reading , was adopted by a vota of 4a to 33. /VNOTIIKR / REVENUE MEASURE , The committee brought In a majority re port on senate fllo No. 371 , recommending that It be placed on general flU ; and a minor ity report to place It on third reading , Day- lord moved the adoption of the minority re port , ThU bill Imposes a tax ot 1 per cent on the gro s and net earnings of express companies , ami provides punishment for mak ing mlEstatemontB , Yolser said thla Idea of-taxing earnings ot corporations waa no now tblpg , aa so many seemed to think. A great many stales have similar laws , most of them fixing a much higher lax than Is proposed In this bill. Rich denied this statement. Ho said ( hit ) tax to bo Imposed upon the companies was In addition to what they already paid on tbo real and personal property poiseejed , and no state had sued a law. Hill made the point that farmers are first taxed for the land and then for whatever grain and produce they may have to keep < Olarlc of Lancaster said there- was no coin- ' parUon between the two cases. This bill rroKtod | to tax not only what the companies cleared but their cross earnings as well. Sheldon said ho vas supposed to support these bills , but he co'uld not do so tlntll ho had some further Information In regard to them. Ho wasn't sure whether the proposed tux was too much or too little , and none ol the answers scorned to enlighten him. The previous question was culled for and roll called upon adoption of the minority re port. The report was not adopted. During roll call Yelser dcm&nded that all members vote , end called for the names of those who refused to comply , Slcbblns was the only ono present and not voting. Ho finally sent up Iho following : "I haVe a bill smolherfd In Ihls house Iwo days. I vote "no. " The majority report was adopted. Dobson of Flllmore reported that the re count commission had finished Ita work and ho moved the appointment of a commltleo ot Ihrcc lo confer with a llko committee from the senate In regard to a Joint session as provided for In tno recount resolution. Tno spcaKtr named Dobaon , Roddy and Kapp as such committee , The committee report on senate fllo No. 375i taxing telephone companies , was a doublc-htader , as In the other bills of this clnss. The majorlly reporl , recommending lhal Iho bill be placed on general file , was adoplcd otler several unsuccessful altempts to amend It. The vote on the adoption was 38 to 39. Mr. Dobson appeared and announced from the conference committee that a Joint ses sion would bo held at once. SENT TO GENERAL FILE. After the Joint session adjourned the com mittee reports on * enato nib No. 378 were read. Eastman moved the adoption of the minority report , which ordered the bill to third reading. A substitute was offered to adopt the majority report , which recom mended that the bill bo placed on general Hie. Pollard said ho would llko to vote for some tax on the net earnings of thcso corpora tions , but believed the proposed bills both unconstitutional and unjust. The constitu tion givca the legislature the right to regu late corporations , but doce not nay that such right may bo delegated to any board. The majority report was adopted by a vote ot 44 to 36.

DAVIDSON'S DIVORCE SUIT Some Peculiar Proceedings in Butler Count ; District Court. PLAINTIFF IS NOW HELD FOR PERJU.W . ToKdinniir In Court DOCK No A'reo with Knutu UN They | Kxlnt 11 nil n lU-coril ill Olllllllll. | At the last sitting of the district court It Butler county Stephen O. Davidson secured dlvorca from his wife , Isabella Davidson , a resident of Illinois. It Is quite probable that had Judge Bates bocn cognizant of the facts Davidson wouli have figured In proceedings widely dlHercn from a dlvorco suit. Ilia conduct wouli likely have landed him In prison on a charge of perjury. Slnco that divorce was granted however , facts have been developed whlcl bid fair to make Mr. Davidson eorlou trouble , If ho docs not eccuro a term at Lin coin In the end , The first public notice of the case was made In the Doll wood Gazelle , which early In March contained the following Item : Last Monday Judge Hates granted Stephen O. Davidson n dlvorco from Isabel David son , non-resident. When cnlleil to testify Mr. Davidson v ns tisKcd by Judge IJntes where ho resided nnd how long ho had lived there. He answered by snylnt ; Hint ho for merly resided at Qulncy , 111. , nnd nbou July I , 1S38 , he came to Omnlm nnd from Omaha ho cnmc to llcllwoail. arriving n Uelhvood July ti , ISOfl. Ho also said ho boarded wllh Jiul Carpenter , Ihen running Iho hotel. He also stated that he stayed with Mr. Cnrpcntcr until Mr. Carpenter ' moved out on the farm , when'Tlo went ovei to Peter Kurt's restaurant. iNow , to tel Iho irulh In the mntlcr , Ihla 'man U.ivldsot never BUW Uellwood , only when he passed throtiRli on Iho train. Ho tnul his brother the only witness that he had , jumped oft the Irnln Monday mornlnjr while on Ihclr way to David nnd Inqulrcil of Unrney Taylor the name of the hotel , the pro prietor's name nnd also Ihe name of the restaurant keeper. Nick Linden , who hap pened to be In the court room at the time and heard him testify as to living1 In Uoll- wood. was somewhat surprlswJ. He won dered where the fellow bad kept himself all these month ) ? . When Nick went to the depot to como homo he met the fellow am went up to him nnd : ild : "My name Is Peter Kurt nnd I would like to have ni > board money. " This knocked the fellow clear off his pegs. He told Nick that he was dead broke now , but would manage to do something for him later on. If Judge Bates would look this mailer up Ihere ! not Iho least doubt In our mind but he would Mnd some very crooked work Ming done by this man. The case will boar In vestigation. DAVIDSON UNDKR ARREST. Acting on the hint contained In the para graph quoted above , The Bee starled an In- vestlgatlon , with the result that Davidson was arrested at Columbus last Saturday on a charge of perjury , and was taken back lo David City to awnll Irlal. Davidson had been living at Columbus since last November and has evidently been enjoying himself. From Its correspondent at Columbus The Bee learns that Davidson was engaged In the practice of law , having an office wllh C. W. Willis , although the latter asserts lliero was no partnership between them. It U apparent that Davidson's prac- llco was neither extensive nor lucrative , for ho found time to woo , win and wed a daughter ot one of the respectable families ol Columbus , but did not find cash to pay his board bill. Mlra May- Dietrich doesn't know If she is lawfully Mrs. Stephen O. Davidson or merely a deceived girl , w-hllo G. A. Scott , landlord ot the Clother house at Columbus , haa an account of $113 for board which has accumulated > inco the advent of the urrattc young attorney , and doesn't know If It Is profit or loss. Da.vldson was married last week to Miss Dietrich and was preparing to sot up their household gods- when Sheriff Derby of Butler county swooped down on him with a warrant.and hauled him .away from his bridal bed to tlio county jail. It Is apparent that Davidson has com mitted perjury at least three times. His divorce was granted solely on his own tosll- mony. In court ho swore ho was a rtwldent if Bollwood , and ho was not. He also swore lie was In the employ ot an Omaha pub lisher's agency , and ho was not , and when lie secured a license to wed iMlss Dielrich last week ho took the required oath before the county judga of Platte county , and must liavo perjured himself , as he had not then boon divorced six months. His arrest was the direct result of in vestigation by The Bee and the direction of the attention ot Judge Bates and the county attorney of Butler counly lo the facts dis covered ; by this paper. HELD FOR TRIAL. Davidson was taken bcforo County Judgo' ' Halo at David City yesterday morning and a preliminary examination was had. I. T. McCaskey appeared as attorney for the de- dendant. The prosecuting witnesses testified : o being present In the court room and hear ing tlw defendant give his testimony In re gard to his residence In Butler county ton six months prior to the filing of his petition ind the trial of the divorce case of 8. 0. Davidson against Isabel Davidson , which was tried In the district court of this county at ; ho 'March (1897) ( ) term. In lhat Irlal witness heard the defendant testify that ho had resided at Bellwood ; had boarded at the lotel kept by Mr. Carpenter , and that after r. Carpenter had moved to Ills furm he lad boarded with Peter Kurt. Several resi dents of Bellwood testified that they had It rut seen Davidson In the court room and heard lie same testimony. One witness tcslllled .hat the defendant was on the train when it arrived at Bellwood and came on the plat- 'onn and asked him who kept the hotel , and was answered ; that Mr. Carpenter kept It at ) rcecnt , but had rented It and would move 3n a farm soon , and volunteered the Informa- lon lhat ho could gst board with Peter Kurt , rills conversation was heard by another wit ness. Mr. Carpenter testified that ho had never seen the defendant until this morning ; that Davidson never boarded at the hotel , and that ho ( Carpenter ) kept the hotel until Nfarch 10 , a few days after the dlvorco waa granted. Peter Kurt testified that ha run i restaurant and served meals to his guests ; that the defendant had never boarded at his ilaco or had never taksn any meals Ihcrc ; hat ho had never seen defendant until today. Defendant's attorney waived cross-examina tion of all tbo witnesses and the defendant was held In $1,000 bonds for his appearance ) o the next term of the district court. In default of ball ho was sent to jail. When E > eon by a Bee representative 'Davidson said 10 had no statement to make until ho had consulted with his attorney. DAVIDSON'S NEBRASKA CAREER. Mr , McCaskey was Davidson's attorney In the dlvorco case. Mr , McCaskey admits that ho has no personal acquaintance with Davidson , but that tha papers In the suit were prepared elsewhere , ho merely fixing his name to tbo jural and filing the papers with the clerk of the court. This ivas on nearly fhe last day to come to trial. Davidson testified that bo wan employed as a traveling man by an eastern firm , making lila headquartcre In Bellwood , but spending most ot his tlmo on the road. Ho also uald tie had t > cen with the Collier company at Qmaha. 'His petition nets up that he mar ried the defendant In t. Louis In 1635 ; that she had assaulted him nt various times with icnlveti and guns , and that she had committed idultory at divers times with divers persona it Qulncy , 111. Only ona witness was examined In court , Meal Davidson , who was announced as a brother of the plaintiff. Davidson's Omaha record was easily [ ound by The Bco. He was In [ ) muha about a year and a half go , according to the statements of the manager for the Collier company. When ho Iret came to this city ho went out for a day jr Iwo with samples belonging to the Collier jompany , but soon gave up the job. Ho ft-as then employed by Manager Lclghty of the F. Werner Publishing company , who wore agents In thU city for the distribution jf the World-Herald series of Encyclopaedia [ Irltannlci , Ho made a largo number of : ontracts and sent them Into the head quarters of the company , which Is at Akron , 3. Many of the contracts were said to iavo been bogus , and In this manner David- ion collected unearned commissions , which ire said to have amounted to considerably } vor $150. The crooked work of Davidson was discovered by the local manager , and ivaa reported to headquarters. Davidson , however , llxed tbo matter up aa that no prosecution followed , and finally disappeared from the city about tlx months later. Ho Is said to bo living near Albany , N , V. , where ho ban relatives residing. Nothing Is known hero ot his wife. HIS ILLINOIS HOMR Inquiry at Qulncy brought the following : QUINOY , April 6. ( Special. ) Rev. M. M. Davidson , father ot Stephen 0. Davidson , la chaplain of th ? Soldiers' Homo hero and financial agent ot Chaddock college , a Meth odist Institution of learning. The son's first appearance hero was some time last year , when ho turned up hero under peculiar cir cumstances. Ho had a wlfo and homo at Colllnsvlllo , or Carllnvlllo , In southern Illi nois , and ono day disappeared. He was traced to St. Louis and there lost. Stories of foul play were circulated , and the disap pearance created some silr at the time. After a week Davidson suddenly appeared In Qulncy , but claimed not to know how ho landed hero. Ho had been diugged or had n plpo dream , or some other old thing. At any rate he declared that his mind was a blank from the tlmo he left hero until his arrival In Qulncy , and It Is possible thai hlsi mind Jnny bo still In that Indefinite con dition , Ills wife learned of his presence In Qulncy , and followed. They lived hero a few months , and Davidson hung out his shingle as a lawyer , but little practice cameto hit ? door and ho next turned up In Nebraska. The residence ot ths wlfo at present Is not known. Davidson's father thinks she Is In St. Louis , or back In Colllnsvlllo. They were not married here , and the wife was never suspoclcd of belnit guilty of adultery here or anywhere else so far as local knowledge and report go. They were wedded 111 southern Illinois , and Rev , M. M. Davldson > rcfupes to dlscuea his son's affairs and apparently knows lltllo about them.

A PECULIAR FACT. _ TlioitHiiiiilN of IVoplf Iluvc D In Worst Kiirni mill Do Not Know It. A weak stomach Is the cause of about iilno-tcntlu ot all disease , yet In most canes the wrong thing Is treated and tha true cause overlooked. This Is because a weak digestion produces symptons resembling nearly every cllscaso liccause It weakens and disturbs Iho action : > f every nerve and organ In Iho body ; poor llgeslton causes heart trouble , kidney troubles , lung weakness and especially ncr- rous break down qr nervous prostration , the nerves cannot stand the wear and tear un less generously fed by well digested , whole- 'oino food. Keep the digestion good and no ono need 'ear the approach of disease. Mrs. H. M. Lee of Rochester , N.
