Ciiniiiilttce to In vc Minute. Tlid reading of this document stirred con siderable excitement, which, however, was not manifested except In a motion to ap point a commutes of flvo to Investigate Into Iho operation!) of tho holdup lobbyists. Tho two lobbyists,' Drilesdow nnd Darter, branded In Thomsscn's statement, happened Into the houB.t Just rh tho document was concludcil by tho reading clerk, aud on learning what had happened bent a hasty retreat. It hati been notorious ever slnco tho session opened that Bcveral gangs of holdup prombters woro nt work In conjunction with members of tho houto and Bcnato Injecting qucstlonablo measures Into the bill file. Tho co-operation of tho legislators mny bo Inno cent or by connivance, hut the evidence Is indisputable In tho bills tcforo tho various committees It is said tho clgaretta bill, which passed tho house by some sort of n slip n couplo of weeks ago, nlthotigh n copy of an Iowa law, Is 'ono of this bunch, whllo the othoru havo not yot mado so much progress. Speaker Sears nnierts his com tnltteo will go Into the matter thoroughly nnd put a stop, If such a thing Is possible, to this pernicious practice. ' Nt-vr .lury I.Hir. With the slgnaturo of tho governor af fixed, tho law known us houso roll hS, ro tating to tho mothod of drawing Juries, goes on tho statuto book, and as It has an emergency clause It becomes of immediate effect. To all Intents and purposes, and probably so far as tho legislators who passed It know, tho act Is slmp'ly. curative, correcting tho wording so as to. mako It apply to Lancaster county under tho new census, which had reduced Its. population below tho limit of 70,000." TJlO really Im portant part of tho measure, however, Is thut It works a complete, change In the. system of drawing grnnd Juries', not! onlyvlh l-ancastur, but In Douglas county as well, by putting them on tho us mo footing with tho potlt Jurlos. Hitherto grand Juries havo been practi cally solcated In Douglas county by the county commissioners, who havo mado up tho lists by Inserting nnrooi of their per tonal or political friends from tholr respect ive districts. It wns almost lmposslhlo to secure a grand lury that was not in sub stance In somo way packotl with men put on to protect la breakers lustond of to hunt them ont for nn Indictment aud the rcluctanco of district court Judgos to order a grand Jury has arisen from tho fact that lury were too apt to degonorato Into a farce. Tho new law does awny with all participation of tho county commissioners in drawing grand Juries. It provides that the drawing shall Lake place In tho ofllce of tho county clerk, under supervision of tho clerk of tho district court from tho same list of nnmca as has been mado up lor petit Jurlea and thn selection had out of a wheel containing thn slips, leaving everything to tho chanco of tho lot. Tho gruild Juries aro to bo certlHed up as usual and the customary quallllcattons and dis qualifications enforced, but tho opportunity to pack th- Jury la taken away na effectively as possible under a general law of tho kind.

One of theao wns Introduced by Representative Coppoc of Holt county nnd tho other by Hoprescutatlve Puller. Hoth were drawn on linos contained in plans that havo from time to tlmo nppcarcd In populist state platforms. Puller's bill sought to make railroad companies llablo for the safe do llory of goods consigned to any point on n connecting line. M. P.

Thero was somo discussion In tho house relative to tho postponement of one of th measures, somo or tba members Insisting that It should ho brought up In committee of tho wholo and disponed of there.

Speaker Sears remarked from the chair that ho thought tho explanation was suf flclcnt to warrunt an Investigation, Rep resentative Sprecher moved to authorize tho speaker to appoint a committee of five to Investigate any alleged hold-up bill.

Sprechcr's motion carried and the epeaker later named Representatives Fowler, Jotivenat, Urown of Otoe, FMmondson end Coffee as the Investi gating committee.
