Aid-red After the Imw
Is I'llNXCll.
LINCOLN , May 1. ( Special. ) Some of the
leading populists have known for a week
that house roll Noi 615 , the salary appropri
ation bill , had been tampered with after It
pamcd the legislature , but the matter lias
been kept quiet. The fact leaked out today ,
and there Is much consternation among the
state house officials and members of the
legislature who arc In the city. It seems
that after the conference committees of the
two houaca had agreed on the bill and their
action bad been ratified at least three changes
were made In the bill by eome clerk In the
enrolling room , whereby the salaries ot the
superintendents of tlio three hospitals for
the Insane were raised to $2,500 a year. The
pay as allowed by the legislature was $2,000 ,
and the conference committees took no ac
tion on these Items. An Inspection of the
engrossed copy shown that no corrections
or erasures were made there , the amounts
remaining as decided upon by the house and
senate , nils throws the blame on the clerk
who wrote that part of the enrolled bill. This
work was done after midnight , Friday night ,
when alt the work was being rushed through
with reckless haste , and when almost any
aort of mistakes might have been made. As
an Instance of the work done by the en
rolling department at the closing hours of
that long night's work It Is only necereary
to recall the fact that one whole page of
the general appropriation bill was left out
of the enrolled copy , and the mistake was
not discovered until after the bill had been
sent to the senate for the ofllclal signatures.
MUTZ SUGGESTS PROSECUTION.
Opinion Is divided as to whether the
change In the salary bill was made pur
posely or accidentally. Senator Mutz , who
wns chairman of the senate committee on
enrolled and engrossed bills , docs not hesi
tate In giving It as his opinion that the act
was u deliberate one , and that the responsi
ble party should be found out and criminally
prosecuted. As chairman of the legislative
Investigating committee he docs not think
It the duty of that committee to make a
move In the matter , but ho believes that
Chairman Severe and other members of the
enrolling committee should at once take It
In Iiand.
To find which clerk wrote that part of the
enrolled bill will bo an ensy matter by mak
ing a comparison of the handwriting , but
this has not been done. The clerical force
of the enrolling room wns as follows : John
L. Cleaver , Fails City ; Leno Bromcr , West
1'olnt ; Anna Clegs , Falls City ; Joy Hackler ,
Sprlngvlew ; P. W. Murray , Grafton ; I. I ) .
Marks , Grand Island ; Katie Neville , Platts-
mouth ; Llzzlo Stcvena , Hastings ; C. G. Wal
lace , Lexington ; Charles Yost , Kearney ; Ed
Westering. Clay Center ; Jud C. Wilson , St.
Edward. The clerk of the committee was
J. II. Graves of Palmyra , who has just been
further rewarded by belns made lease con
tract clerk in the land commissioner's office.
Ho disclaims any knowledge of the change
In the bill and Is trying to trace the matter
down In self-protection.
It Is not believed hero that the three super
intendents can draw the extra pay thus In
jected Into the- bill , the legislature not havIng - ,
Ing passed It , but expensive complications '
may arlso affecting the entire salaries of the j
tlireo olilcera. The attorney general is not :

family remedy ?
That's a question -worth consitler-
ing. There is a certain censorship
exercised in respect of family affairs
which endeavors to defend the home
life from dangers.
t-The Mother Watches
the books that are read , the friends
that are made , the people and things
that are introduced to the family
circle.
No parent would bring an un
known person into his home , a per
son without a known record , no
matter what appearance the person
in question made , or what position
he claimed.
And wise parents are as watchful
of medicines as of men. They want
to know what the medicine is
that they bring.into the family , to
be sure there is nothing injurious
or hurtful in the remedy that is to
bo intrusted with health or even
life itself.
