LINCOLN , Feb. 9. ( Special. ) Ono of thi
bills reported upon favorably by the Judi
ciary committee , but which has been re
committed for further consideration upor
the earnest solicitation of Senator Talbot , Ii
S. P. 128 , In which the following provlslor
to make property owners Joint defendant !
with the city In suits for damages caused
by injuries received upon the public streets :
Section 1 In actions against munlclpfl
corporations or quasi corporations from In.
Jury arising from defect In any highway
public grounds or property. If the cause o
injury arose from wrong , default , or neglec'
of any person or corporation , ( he person 01
corporation EO guilty shall bo Joined de
fendant and bo primarily liable for all dam'
ages DO arising. If In any such nctlor
against a municipal corporation or quns
corporation It answer that It if not prlmarilj
liable , showing who JH , such party ehall be
Joined defendant nnd if the verdict or find
ing be that such municipal corporation 01
quasi corporation Is not primarily liable , th <
court shall render Judgment against all de
fendants found liable , but stay enfjTcemcni
thereof against the municipality till execu
tion against those found primarily liable b (
returned unsatisfied In whole or In part ,
after which judgment may be enforced
against the municipality for any amount un-
collected. If such Judgment bo in part 01
whole satisfied by , or enforced against , the
municipality it shall remain In force for Its
benefit as against the party primarily liable
A similar bill a few days ago mot with Indefinite -
definite postponement because the senate be.
llevcd "the bill wouid not meet the desired
results. It thought a large amount of the
trouble comes from nonresident property
owners and that as personal service could
not be had upon them they could not be
reached oven though ' they were made Jointly
liable by tbe 'law. S. F. 128 wns drawn up
by City Attorney Webster of Llncorn and he
has made a personal appeal for the bill.
Lincoln has suffered greatly by reason ol
the condition of aldewalkH in the city. Only
a week dgo $5,000 damages were obtained
against the city | n two cases alone In the
federal court , while at almost every term
of the district court a large amount of Judg
ments are rendered against the city , To
make mutters worse there Is such a grave
doubt as to the constitutionality of tbe pres
ent law requiring property owners to build
and repair sidewalks , or that thu same ubarl
be done by tbo city and ( axed against the
property , that It is Impossible to sell side
walk warrants for work of this kind , which
has resulted in a total suspension of side
walk building and repairing by the city ,
S , F. 128 Is a bill introduced by Senator Tol-
bet to enact a new law concerning tbU
aud It Is hoped by tbe people of Lincoln thai
It wlfl become a law and stand the "supreme
court" lest.
City Attorney Webster says S. F , 126
creates creates no liability , but simply pro
vides that In actions against public corpora
tions , which arise by the negligence of some
other party , such party shall be Joined at
defendant In tbe action and If a liability 1 :
established that the party causing the lujurj
shall be held primarily Hable , similar to the
case of principal and surety. Ho says thli
law has been In force In Wisconsin since
1889 , It applies to all municipal corpora
tions , towns and counties.

The message was as follows ;
Executive Chamber To the Honorabli
Members of the House of Representatives
On account of the extreme anxiety of tbi
citizens of this state who have relatives am
friends now In the United States service a
\Unlla. and in view of the meager and un
satisfactory reports recehed of the casual
tits la itho late battle , I doom it my dut ;
to request of you at this time Authority t
Incur the necessary expenses for LhoY r de
partmeiM ot this state to r b ! < v to the tolone
of the First rrglmcnt , Nebraska volunteer *
now In the service at Manila , for n full r

Owing to the heavy drain ca\iecd by nil
mwous lelegrams and eble messages < ran

In committee of the whole , but after th <
rising of the committee Thompson ot Mer
rick obtained unanimous consent am
offered n resolution authorizing the governo
to cable to the colonel of the First Nebraski
voluntoars for full particulars.
It Is presumed that the expense ot thi
cables to and from Mantra will bo met tithe
by special appropriation , by provision tn thi
claims bill or as a deficiency claim , It 1
understood that there Is already a deflclencj
In the telegraph fund In the governor * !
office , caused , as stated In the message pre
sented today , by the expensive telegrams am
cables Incident to th " "ar. The cxponso o :
cable messages from . . anlla Is about $2.21 $

Ri ptilllcvii Conference ,
Another republican conference was hole
tonight. It yvas 8:40 : before Senator Stcelt
of Jefferson culled the meeting to order. Hf
stated the object of the meeting was that
the members were called together to consult
with each other as to tbe best interests ol
republicans of the legislature , He askei
what was tbe pleasure of the meeting. Aftei
a silence for eomc moments it was sug
gested that a roll call would bo the propel
thing. Upon motion tbe roll was called. A ;
there seemed to be more present than tht
roll call showed , It was moved that all
present who were not members should re
tire. On Investigation It wns shown there
were eeveral members In the room who had
not responded.
The members were In n humorous mood
and nt thoetart a motion was carried unani
mously that the legislature elect a senatoi
tomorrow. Chairman Steele said the mem
bers were gathered to nnd some way ol
uniting on United States senator. Pollard ol
Cass favored making rules tonight for a
caucus to choose the senator. He saw no
reason why it could not be done , as a ma
jority of republican members were present.
Prout of Gage moved that a. committee
of twelve be appointed to formulate rules tc
govern a Joint caucus of republican senators
and representatives for the purpose ot elect
ing a senator and report to this body. Sev
eral members thought seven members would
bo enough on the committee , It was con
tended that there were twelve candidates
voted for today and the committee ought to
number twelve and glvo each candidate a
representative. Senator Allen favored twelve
men on the committee. He thought It would
bo fair representation. Upon discussion the
members who spoke agreed that they had
come to do something. Some said first pref
erences ought to bo disregarded and the
members agree on some representative re
publican for this honor.
Pollard opposed the committee Idea nnd
wanted to o ahead and settle the question
by a vote. Van Dusen spoke In favor of
a. committee which could draw up rules that
could bo accepted or rejected at future meet
ing. H adopted , tha election could nt once
bo had.
Clark was not In favor of a ballot , and
said a number of members would have re
mained away If they thought such an idea
wan to bo advanced.
Van Dusen and Noyes favored the mak
ing of rules by 'tho ' meeting , -which , If
signed by fifty members , would bo a good
start to the desired end and the discussion
on Ihla part -was general ,
Committee on Union ,
A motion was carried that a committee of
olno be appointed by the chairman to for-
nutatc rules for the caucus and to report at a
netting to be called by the chairman. The

VICKSBURG , Miss. , Feb. 11. Tbo Inter
state Farmers' Institute held three sessions
today , the first assembling at 0 o'clock this
morning. The first scpnker. Prof.V. . L
Hutchlnson ot the Mississippi Agrlcultura
Experimental station , took ns his subjec
"Mississippi Soils and Their Capabilities. '
A general discussion followed , participated
In by members of the convention. Prof
Haecker of the University of Minnesota
chose as his subject "Tho Dairy Cow as t
Restorer of Fertility. " Cottonseed and
Its Products" was ably handled by Prof
Kllgore , Mississippi state chemist.
Thp prlnc-Ipnl speakers at the afternoor
session were Secretary of Agriculture Wllsor
and Prof Willis L. Moore , chief of the
weather bureau. Mr. Wilson's subject was
"Tho Department of Agriculture. " Amonfj
' ' '
other things , he said :
The Danes sell $30,000,000 worth of buttoi
U > Great Britain , and we furnish them -wltli
tbe cow feed. I would llko to see the
American farmer turning his attention tc
Bomothlng more exalted than producing cow
feed for any cows but his own. The grca (
northwest Is represented here today bj
many of the most IntHllgent farmers. Thej
are well assured that the only profit thai
comes from agriculture is that which comes
fnmi turning raw materials Into a. higbei
Belling product. The United States was sup
plied last year from the Mississippi -vallej
with grains for homo use and for many othei
purposes and exported over 200,000,00 (
bushels ot corn. That corn should have been
turned ( Into a higher selling product In tht
United States. Our mill feeds went abroad
also. Wo produced flax because we want oil
for painting oiir buildings , the United States
bolng the great painting uaiticci. But we did
mo-t lully realize thnt the nUrogeiieous mat
ter of the flax plant should ! > e kep't at home
to balance the carbonaceous corn plant.
We sent our mill feeds abroad to dairymen
to horao producers , ito cattlemen , to sheep
men , to poultrymen , when we might Jns1
as well feed theao things at home and sent !
the higher soiling product to the foreigner ,
after wo have .not only applied laborious
daya In the cornfield and the whoMfleld
and itho oatfleld , but after we have added
the skill of the farm and ot the factory tc
the raw material. That $30,000,000 worth ol
butter sold in Great Britain by Denmark Is
the result at skill applied t > our raw mate
rial.
rial.Tbo time has come when itho intelligent
management of the farm promises ns well as
any other vocation In life. It will beat poli
tics and b * a neck ahead of the professions
when all riirlnss are csusWcred. This In
telligent management of the farm compre
hends the training of your labor to do what
Is most profitable you and what will odd
to the comfort , of the worker. A South
Carolina gentleman gc-ts his too. leaves
picked at itho right tlrno by gathering the
young people into a school to acquire the
elementary studies. Vour labor can bo
taught to milk cows and care for ittiotn , grow
the crops they require , feed the calves and
run tbe separator , churn and buttcrworker ,
pack the butte and market It , make chitso
under your supervision , cnro for Hhoep ami
lambs , sheer them In season nnd become
nxpert along those lines as they now arb
with cotton.
This diversification of farm work will
tiring money to the Btute from consumers In
: > ur large cities. H will create a demand for
farm literature and become an educative
[ irocega that will load along over pleasant
paths to more productive fields , better form
comfortable houses and
[ 'ouvcnlcnces , more
higher Ideals of llfo. "
Prof. Moore explained the relations of the
weather burueau to the farmers ,
Prof. Stubbs , director of the Louisiana Ex
perimental station , was luc only speaker at
the night session , his topic being "South-
crti Agriculture. "
