ruptlon and that bla voles will goon go to
the other candidates. The refusal of the
leaser lights In the struggle with only a
few votes behind them to throw their
strength to Hayward has resulted In a bit
terness on the part of the ardent Hayward
supporters ncalnst the o candidates , which
practically means that they will stand no
show In the breakup ,
A prominent senator said today that one
thing was certain. If Hayward could not
make It the candidates who are holding out
with from one to four votes would never
roeelvo the votes of Hayward followers. The j i
Hayward workers tried bard to get these I
I
voles. One or two gracefully stepped out of
the way and threw their voles to the Ne
braska City man , but others refused to do so ,
although \ho''members voting for them were
willing.If , tbey < sajd the word ,
A. W , Field of Lincoln was one who sur
rendered his votes. After some fruitless
ballots two of his votes returned to him to
day , and the Field boom has been given a
new ImpetuH In the lobbies tonight. It Is
pointed out. that he has retained the good
will of the Hayward forces by not antagoniz
ing his candidacy and that In the breakup
ho In bound to capture a large amount of the
Hayward vote. Theru nro some predictions
of an Increase In his vote tomorrow , al

It Is asserted by one on the Inside that

WYMOKE. Neb. . Jan. 2C. ( Special. )
What Is believed to bo a good picture of
Wymoro'B "Jack the I'eeper" was secured In
a rather unexpected and novel manner one
night last week. In. , , preparing for sonic
flashlight , pictures tlie lights in. the house
of Dispatcher Charles. . Sngo had all been
turned 4 put and when everything was In
readiness the . flashlight Illuminated the
room for n second ; and when darkness again
reigned the little kodak had done Its work
end had done It so well that when the pic
ture was developed It not only showed an
umiMiully good picture of the room and Its
occupants , but It also contained the picture
of a very .rough and apparently much
surprised face peeping In at the window ,
now firmly believed to be the follow who has
been causing HO much consternation and
alarm among the women of the different
parts of the city by peeping In at the
windows after dark. The picture Is a very
plain one and It may serve In solving the
mystery urroumllng the identity of the
man. The face tJiowu up as a very rough
one and tallle ? with a description given of
"Jack the I'eeper" by those who have seen
him.

. LINCOLN , Jan. 26. ( Special Telegram. )
Proceedings In the senate today were en
tirely devoid oMntcrcat. The sessions were
iliort and no Important matters brought up1.
After trying the bill Illes furnished by the
secretary of tnto and purchased from a local
popocratlc linn the senate concluded that
they are useless for the purposes for which
they were Intended , hence they are to be
discarded and Keystone flies ordered.
Senator Talbot M of the opinion that 'the '
"conscience fund" ought not to be merged
Into the general fund. He thinks possibly
Heal and Mutz may sometime be conscience-
stricken and desire .to return the $10,000
stolen from the state treasury by the In
vestigating committee two years ago.
The senate again had the privilege of hav
ing Colonel John M. Stotsenberg of the First
Nebraska volunteers pass In review at to
day's session. His father , John M. Stet
senberg , sr. , of Now Albany , Intl. , has heard
of the resolutions passed by the legislature
and forwarded a communication concerning
the same. Ho wants a copy of the evidence
and specific complaints upon which the reso
lutions were based , and n speedy Investiga
tion of the same by the proper authorities.
No action was taken , except to place the
communication on ( lie.
Committee meetlnga occupied a large share
of the senators' time today. Governor Poyn-
ter announced the signing of II. R. 113 and
II. R. 121 the appropriation bills. Employes
were receiving their pay today In cense
quence.
The house made good headway In com
mittee of the whole today and cleaned up
all the bills on general tllo except the two
that were referred back to the committees.
The members took more Interest In the pro
ceedings than they did yesterday , while the
long Inheritance > tax bill was under discus
sion and business was disposed of rapidly.
The report of the committee on privileges
and elections , which was expected by some
today , failed to put in Us appearance , and
the members arc fast losing Interest In the
Flllmoro contest case.
Representative Dlttmar , who has been un
well for several days , was taken worse while
occupying his seat yesterday forenoon and
was assisted to his room at the hotel , where
ho has remained nil day today. He Is suf
fering from an attack of the grip.
The committee on revenue and taxation
Is holding meetlnga every morning from 9
o'clock to 11:30 : , the work being confined to
consideration of the revenue bill and the
chairman announces that all those Inter
ested In revenue revision' are Invited to
call and lend their views. .
Sklnton Pntio.
Judge Frost of the district court will hand
down a decision In the habeas corpus case of
Judge Skipton , the Flllmoro county Judge
fined by the legislature , tomorrow at 2:30 :
o'clock. This afternoon counsel for Judge
Skipton introduced In evidence the contest
record In the case pending before County
Judge Skipton and for whldi reason he re
fused to surrender the ballots to the legis
lative committee on privileges and elections.
Chairman Fisher of the privileges and elec
tions committee expressed considerable sat-
Isfacyon aUtlie.lntrQducticmof the contest
record , as 11 shows 'upon Its' face that the
supervisor 'contest In FUlmoro county de
pends upon the vote of ono precinct alone ,
that of Olengary precinct , while the votes of
three precincts arc being held by the county
Judge. The record shows that the contestecs
claim a mistake of ten votes In Olengary pre
cinct. Tno weakness of this supervisor con
test case Is apparent upon examination of the
record produced today.
Some new light has been thrown upon the
supervisor contest. While it has been con
sidered that Skipton was opposing the wishes
of the. legislature In order to pose as a mar
tyr , the supervisor contest has more behind
It than has been supposed. The control of
the Flllmoro county Uoard of Supervisors de
pends upon this contest. The republicans
control the board as It now stands , but If
the populist contcstees should bo success
ful the fuslonlsts would control and organize
the new board. That carries with It all the
patronage of the county and the editor of a
fusion paper Is quoted as having said that
Is much moro important to the faithful out
there than two scats In a legislature that
Is already republican.
As the votes of only one prerlnct arc con
cerned In the -contest Judge Skipton has no
reason whatever for holding the votes , of
the two remaining precincts. HO gave no
Indication of surrendering the ballots today ,
although there was a rumor that reached
members of the elections committee that the
county clerk would bring the ballots before
the committee.
Some members of the committee on
privileges and elections are said to favor
appropriating enough money to Impeach the
Flllmore county officials who have given the
legislature trouble In this contest. If that
Idea were carried out It would make It In
teresting for the guilty ones , as the Fillmore -
more county board has a republican ma
jority.
Sheriff Ogg has made no return of the
execution delivered to him to collect the (50
flue- against Judge Skipton. Chairman
Fisher cf the elections committee has
written him a latter urging upon him the
necessity of getting n rustic on himself in
this matter. The commlttco held a meeting
tonight.

LINCOLN. Jan , 26. ( Special. ) A com
munication was received from the legisla
tive committee appointed by the State
Teachers' association , calling attention to
the educational bills that had received the
endorsement of the committee. The com
munication was as follows :

The following resolution on polygamy by
Flcher of Uowes was adopted :

A recess was taken until the time for : he

was taken to 3 o'clock.
After recces the house went Into commit
tee .of the whole w-ltu Myers ot Douglas In
the , chain
H. R.10. . the bill providing for an In
heritance tax. was recommended for passage
after a short discussion on a minor amend
ment , . < ' -
II. R. 42 , ' to amend the ballot law. wan
next on the file but on motion of Prince
of Hall It was recommitted In order that It
might be considered In connection with other
election bills.
H. R. 61 , relating to the appointment of
judges and clerks of election , was recom
mitted for the same reason on motion of
Weaver of Richardson , who has a similar till
before the committee.
H. R. 11 , by Thompson of Merrlck , re
quiring assignments of mortgages or trust
deeds lo bo In writing , to bo signed In the
presence' at leastlone witness , and to be
acknowledged In the same manner as other
deeds , was recommended for passage.
H. R.,41 , by Thompson of Merrlck , amend
ing section 201 of the Criminal Cede caused
quite a tilt. The text of the bill was as
follows :
"Section 201. If any person who has a
former husband or wife living marry an
other person , or continue to cohabit with
such second husband or wife In this state ,
he or she , except In the cases hereinafter In
this section mentioned , Is guilty of bigamy
nnd shall bo punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary not more than five years
nor less than one year. The provisions of
this section do not extend to any persons
whose husband or wife has continually re
mained beyond sens , or who has voluntarily
withdrawn from the other and remained
absent for the space of three years together ,
the party marrying again not knowing the
other to be living within that time ; nor to
any person who has good reason to believe
such husband or wife to be dead ; nor to any
person who has been legally divorced from
the bonds of matrimony. "
The objection urged against the bill was
that It would virtually grant a divorce to
parties who had lived apart from each other
i
three years when either one of them remar
ried. Fisher of Dawea urged as on objection
that H would thus perfect , divorces without
the aid of lawyers.
McCarthy of Dlxon closed the debate by
calling attention to the fact that the bill
simply provided for a penalty for bigamy
and made no reference to divorces. The bill
was recommended for passage.
H. R. 45 , amending the statute of
"Frauds , " relating to the transfer of Inter
est In real estate and providing that the
leasing of lands for period over one year
or a contract for the sale of lands must bo
In writing , was recommended for passage.
H. R. 33 , by Smith of Saline , was the next
token up. The provision In the bill Is as
follows :
"If any fire Insurance company delays the
payment of a Just and lawful claim due un
der a contract of Insurance beyond the time
allowed by law for the settlement thereof ,
and thereby cause suit to be brought to re
cover the'amount'due _ , thevInsurer shall bo
required to ( paffliEreal upcm wild claim at
the rate of 23 per\cJt [ per'annum from the
time the claim became due. "
Ilallcr of Washington spoke for the bill.
Ho said he Insurance adjuster was com
monly employed for the purpose of forcing
the insured to take less than the face of
the policy. His plan was always to wear
out the poor man with delays and suits until
a compromise could bo forced.
Grosvenor of Hamilton opposed the bill.
Ho did not think the penalty contained In
the bill would bo legal. In answer to this
Fisher of Dawcs said that the courts had
upheld the collection of attorney's fees from
the companies In such cases , although there
.was no such clause In the contract.
Mann of Saline and Swan of Ncmaha
epoko for the bill , and related experienced
they themselves had had with Insurance
companies.
Thompson of Merrlck , Wllcox of Lincoln ,
and Detweller of Douglas maintained that
the bill would be unconstitutional. Prince
of Hall and Weaver of Rlchardwon favored
the purpose of the bill , but doubted its
legality. On motion of Weaver the bill was
recommitted. Clark of Lancaster suggested
that Inasmuch as all seemed to be agreed
that the bill wasa , good one and only de
fective In form , It ought to go to the Judic
iary committee , but on request of Chairman
Mann U was sent to the Insurance com
mittee.
The committee arose and the house
adopted the report on the various bills , after
which the liouso adjourned.
H. R. 357. Introduced today by Anderson of
Flllmore. Is ono of unusual Interest , the
text being as follows :
"That at the general election to be held
the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday of
November. 1899 , there shall be submitted
to the electors of this state for their ap
proval or rejection an amendment to the
constitution of this state as follows :
"Any bill having received a three-fifths
majority in each branch of the legislature
and the governor's approval shall bo and
continue a supreme and Irrevocable law In
this state until repealed by a subsequent
legislature and the governor's approval. "
