Finally the neiessary number voted for the bill and the call was raised. Late In the afternoon an attempt was umdo to discredit the Omaha exposition by a resolution directed to the Nebraska .delega tion In congress. It was evident that a majority of the members then In the hall utro In favor of the resolution.

F. 16 , by Prout of Gage , was the first bill for discussion. The bill provides for the payment of costs In misdemeanor cases by the county upon the approtal of the county attorneys. Senator Prout movet that the bill be recommended for passage Crow ot Douglas moved to amend that the bill be > indefinitely postponed. In explana tion Senator Crow said there was a class of people In Omaha who would take aJvan tage of the law to filch the county out of a large amount ot costs by bringing pretended charges in courts for the purpose of get ting witness fees and coats out of the case. Prout of Gage said he thought every man nas worthy of his hire. County officers , justices and constable ! are noytr compelled to do the work la the o case * free of charge , un less the defendant Is convicted and able to pay his fine. He thought the provision mak ing the costs payablt only upou the approval f the county attorney cures the objections olntcd out by Senator Crow , Crow of Douglas Insisted that the bill nvlted an onslaught on the treasury of very county which no senator could afford o support. Talbot of Lancaster -thought - the "O. K. " of ho county attorney was all the protection ceded by the county. He said the bill vas a splendid amendment to the criminal ode. , Newell of Cass said In his county a man night have to go forty-five miles to SOB . ho county attorney and get his approval. Miller of Buffalo favored the bill. He said ho present law Invited discrimination upon ho part of the justices against defendants vho were able to pay a fine and costs. Fowler of Flllmore said the senator from Douglas wanted to punish all the Justlrec i nd constables In the state clmply because hero wcrp some dishonest officers In Doug- as county , Van Duscn of Douglas showed how costs would bo piled up in his county In petty acs nnd the taxpayers robbed. It IB amcntablo tbnt justices ot tbo peace are nets s pure as they should be. Hannibal of Howard thought the state ught to bo honest with Itn officers and pay hem for services In criminal cases. The provision of the bill that met such orclblo objection on the part of the senators torn Douglas Is as follows : "Section 1. That section 635 ot chapter 1 f the Criminal Code of the State of Ne braska be amended so as to read ns fol- ows : Section 635. That no costs shall bo paid from the county treasury In any case if prosecution for a misdemeanor , or for urety to keep the peace , unless prior to bo Issuing of the warrant In such case , tuc ounty attorney of the county In which uch action Is brought shall have examined nto such complaint nnd shall endorse there on his approval of the same. In all such ases costs shall be allowed by the county ommloslonirs the earae as In cases of fcl- iny tried In the district court. " Senator Crow's amendment for Indefinite postponement prevailed by u vote of 19 o 10. The committee arose at 5:25 : and the sen ate adjourned till tomorrow. pHocirm.\ OK THE HOD.SIS. iroNveiior Inheritance Tnx Hill IN riiMftcil ! > > n Vote of (12 ( to 28. LINCOLN , Feb. 1.
