accommodating member rises and moves

character In tho cast there has sprung up
an ncuto rivalry, the prlvllego of catr.hlng
tho lieutenant governor's eyo llrst being
shared almost equally by Hoprcsentntlvo
Armstrong and Senators Currle and Owens.
Today, as tho secretary started to read, It
was quickly evident that a hitch had hap
pencil somewhere.
"Lincoln. Neb January 31. 1001." began
Secretory McKcpson, In a slow, reluctant
volco. Ho paused for tbo customary mo
tlon to dispense, etc., but no relief seemed
In sight.
"Thn Joint session of tho legislature was
duly called to order," ho continued, Illy
concealing his dstrc&s Owens was ab

reporters' table and Armstrong had evi
dently forgotten his cuo, whlto the under
study whs too rusty to take up tho lines.
Still No Iti-Urf.
"On roll call those present were:
"Allen, Anderson, Andrews, Arcnds, Arm

The decided emphasis of Mr. McKesson

effect. Tho gentleman from Nemaha
jumped to his feet as It touched by an
electric shock, mechanically reciting the
words:
"Mr. President, I move that further read

The tension nt onco relaxed. Secretary

The next bill In order was house roll
53, by Fowler, authorizing county trens
urers to sign nnd acknowledge titles to
land sold for tnxes. Ileforo tho clerk had
finished rending the nrst section Reprc
sentatlvo Mullen moved that tho committee
of tho whole recommend the bill for In

mcasuro as tho work of somo sharp lawyer
and said It would bo an outraco on tho
taxpayers of tho state.

rowicr, rcpiicn tnai only Dy tho means

Debute nn Xoriunl School.
When tho house reconvened this nftor
noou, the four normal school bills wero
tnkon up In committee of tho whole, a
tho special order of the hour. House roll
70, by Mockett, providing for nn appro
prlntlon of $55,000 for purchasing tho West
ern Normal college at Hawthorne, a suburb
of Lincoln, was tho llrst ono considered
A member from a western county 1m
mediately moved that It be reported for
Indefinite postponement nnd tho author of
tho bill offered an amendment that It bo
recommended for passage. This opened
tho matter tor discussion.
Representative Urown of Otoo started off
for tho opposition. Ho said It would bo
unwise to open a normal school so near
to tho Bchool at Peru, especially when that
school wns accommodating pupils so cheaply,
Whltmore of Humllton county followed.
Ho nssertod that the building, tbo bill
proposed to npproprlnto money for
was a "cast-off shell, good for absolutely
nothing, nnd which could bo disposed of
only by unloading It off onto the state, at
n prlco of twlco what it's worth." Ho re
ferred to tho structure ns ono of tho rem
nants of tho Lincoln boom and In loud
terms nsserted that ho wns opposed to steal
ing $1 of tho sato's raonoy for no other pur
pose than to help a lot of broken down
speculators who had lost their monuy In
Lincoln real estate, nnd In closing said
that tho man who votes for tho measuro
would vote to squander tbo state's money,
would betray n sacred trust and disgrace
himself.
Representative Sprccher of Colfax took
n similar view of the matter nnd said that
ho was opposed to tho bill, especially bo
cause It "smacked too much of a Job."
.Mockett Hi-fend III II 1 1 1 .
Representative Mockett made an extended
speech In behalf of his bill. Ho told of
tho ndvantngos of tho Capital city, Its rail
road facilities nnd Its libraries, and called
Attention to the recommendation of tho
Stato Teachers' association, that moro
normal schools bo established. Ho charged
that tho objection to tho measure wns bnsed
entirely upon private Interest. As to tho
building, bo said that It wns In ns good
condition ns tho day It wns built, that It
was equipped with complete heating end
lighting plants.
Mr. Whltmore reiterated his assertions
that tho bill was a piece of Jobbery and
cautioned tho members that tho' first cost
of n school should not b' allowed to
prejudice them against bettor locations.
"This bill Is to help somebody unload
something," ho said. "I don't care to men.
tlon nny names, but 1 enn put my hands
on tno men tnat aro back of It."
Representative McCarthy favored tho mo
Hon to Indefinitely postpone lnslstlnir that
It would bo unwlso to locate a normal school
wnero tno western Normal building now
stands.
Tho motion to postpone the bill was
finally put to voto and carried hy on over
whelming majority.
Money for Peru.
House roll 3, by Armstrong, to appro
priate $75,000 for a new library and gym
nasium building for the Peru Normal
school, was next taken tip nnd after a
short debate was recommended for passage
and placed on the general file. The author
of tho bill told of tho overcrowded con
dition of tho bltlldlng now being used,
which he sold wos built to accommodate
bout 200 pupils, while there nro now more
than twice that number In attendance. No
ono opposed the mcnsijro nnd It was favor-
nciy recommended witnout a dissenting
vote.
i bill Introduced by Onwne of Merrick
county, to appropriate $80,000 for n normal
school nt Central City, his home town, wns
Indefinitely postponed. Representative
Whltmore volunteered tho Information that
another bill yet to be considered provided
for the establishment of two normal schools
and that tho light In bchnlf of Central City
could bo made after It had been read In
tho committee. On his motion tho bill was
postponed.
'I'mo Xi-w Normal School.
The last of the normal school bills was
then taken up nnd nftor several amend
ments were mndo wus recommended for
pasrngc. In Its amended form It provides
for nn appropriation of $100,000 for two
notmnl schools, ono to be In the Fifth con
gressional district nnd the other In the
Sixth district, the exact location to be
determined by the State Normal School
board. The mensuro was Introduced by
Urodurlck of Clay county and In its orig
inal form provided for nn appropriation
of only $30,000, specifying that the schools
were to be located on opposite sides of the
Platte river.

bcrs of Nebraska wero eulogized In tho
senato today for tho greater part of an
hour In a good, bad nnd Indifferent wny,
It oil came nbout by a motion to recommit
Senator Martin's bill, which has for Its ob
Ject tho repeal of tho present barber law,
tho bill havlnE como up for final passage
Tho motion to recommit, which was made
by Senator Currle, left tho bill open for
discussion. After much debate tho motion
to recommit wns carried, 18 to 12, and the
bill wns ordered back to tho committee
on miscellaneous subjects.
Tho senate this morning, on motion of
Newell of Cass, went Into committee of tho
whole, with O'Neill of Lancaster In tho
chair, for the purposo of considering bills
on General fllo.
Senate lllo 3S, a bill Introduced by Sena
tor Olesdn, providing for n joint conven
Hon for tho purpose of revising tho con
stitution of tho stnte, wns tho first bill up
for discussion. Tho mensuro provides that
tho electors of the stnto bo authorized and
iccommcnded to voto for or ngalust a con
vcntlon for tho purposo of revising tho
constitution at tho next general election for
mombcrs of the legislature, tho ballots to
bo printed so ns to read "For a conven
tlon," "Against n convention." Tho com
mlttco on constitutional amendments, to
which tho bill had been referred, recom
mended a change In tho printing of tho
ballots to make them rend "For a constl
tutlonal convention," with Instructions for
those opposed- to such convention and do
siring to voto ngalust It, to scratch out
this line, tho claim being mndo that owing
to tho lack of Interest taken In tho matter
by tho average voter that the required
number of votes, a majority of nil cast
could never bo secured under the plan as
first proposed, for tho reason that the voter
who did not enro enough to express nn
opinion cither one way or tho other, wa
recorded by his ballot as being against it
This claim was met by tho argument that
under the proposed amendments tho bnl
lot of tho Indifferent voter, who had no
particular deslro to voto In fnvor of tbo
convention, but who did not tako the
troublo to scratch out the line, would ha
counted ob In favor of such n convention.
Tho bill was disposed of temporarily by
n motion by Martin to postpone tho bill.
Senate file 34. a bill by Zlegler of Cedar,
restraining male animals from running nt
large, brought out somo discussion and
was finally ordered recommitted.
