a reckless expenditure of state funds, Gov

Accompanying the veto of Armstrong's

message:
LINCOLN, March J I. To the Honorable
Speaker unci tlio llounc of Representatives:
I return you herewith, without my np

Rymiinslum ImlldlnK for the State Normal
school located at Peru, Neb.
The primary reason for my objection tc
this bill In that tho condition of the. Mute,
finances neither warrants nor JustlDeH such
hii expenditure. Thn current demandx of
the slat" hnvo exceeded tho nvnllablo rr
sources thereof for it period of years, until
now tho amount of luteri nt-hriirliiK war

1. IMS, wiim )l,571,Uil.Cl, which shows Hint
during thn two yearH' term of my honorable
predecessor the warrant Indehtcilness was
Increased moro tjinn Ip5.(i0. duo largely to
tho fact that the nnioutit realized from tho
tnx levy and other sotirrea was not equal
to the appropriation and expenditures.
According to the 1-nlfmnto or i lie honoraDlo
rhalrmati of the finance, ways ami menus
committee ot thn seimto the contemplated
appropriations at this hohkioii exceed avail
able resources by more than JIuO.uOO, which
means n corrcHpondlng Increase. In outstand
ing Intercst-brnrlng Indebtedness.
'Mils Is a most reckless, If not unlawful,
policy and to earry It to excess would Im
pair and must eventually destroy our pub
lic credit. There Is a penalty attached to
tecklosH tlnanclerluK If thero Is no limit,
though the latter is generally In business
urfalrs determined by the former.
Ijxtru Uieiine Kiitnlleil.
The recent conltiiKi iillon at the peniten
tiary entailed a loss upon tho state, vari
ously estimated nt from J123.OO0 to llM.noo.
Condition at this Institution are such that
a largo expenditure of money Is made a
necessity anil that, too, without delay. It
will require nt the least J12T.,Ofio to repair
that putt uf tho building ilalnnged by Mro
and equip the new cellhoiiso with modern
t'clls and appliances.
In tho light of these conditions, with np
ptoprlatlona already far In excess of the
nmoiint avallnbln and with resources taxed
tu their full capacity to meet current ex
penses. It Is made necessary that the closest
economy should bo practiced and that only
such appropriations shall be made for ex
traordinary purposes as are Imperatively
necessary.
Nor do 1 ronslder the appropriation pro
vided for In this act either wise or neces
sary. The contemplated Improvements aro
not such as require Immediate. action, ".'ha
IVru Norninl bun a library building und It
would require no great amount of Ingenuity
t i ho arrange such accommodations as aro
now to be had as to provide for chapel ex-i-iilses.
In addition to this the city of
l'eru Is well provided with churches of vari
ous denominations, so that, ho far as oppor
tunity for religious and moral training of
tho students Is concerned, thcro is no causo
for anxiety.

Senator Allen, while, not having fully re
covered from tho shock experienced upon
the receipt of tho news that tho governor
had refused to attach his slguaturo to the
bill appropriating $75,000 for additional
buildings at tho l'eru normal, was still con
fident of tlio passage of tho normal school
bill, of which ho Is tho acknowledged cham
pion, and which will como up In the senato
for further discussion ngnln tomorrow
afternoon.
"Tho reason 1 bollovc the bill will pass,"
said Senator Allen, "Is because It Is a
meritorious one, and to prove thut It has
merit, I will Just qtfoto you u few figures
which ought to bo Interesting reading for
tho members who are so strongly opposed

Cleaning
House
Once or twice a year the good house
wife has a thorough house cleaning. The
house has beeu swept nnd dusted every
day in the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accumu
lated in cracks and corners, and is only
to. he removed by special effort.
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions of cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to rid it of the accumu
lations of waste and poisonous matter
which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, taken regu
larly once or twice a year, would save
many a sickuess. It purifies the blood,
strengthens the stomach, and cleanses
the body of poisonous accumulations.
"Last pritiL' J had a severe attack of pneu
monia, which left me with a bad cough, a ud
alio left my lung In a very bad condition,"
writes John M. Kusaell. Hen,., of Ureal, Cherokee
Nat , lad. Ter. "I had no appetite and waa o
weak I could scarcely watk. My breast waa
all sore with running sore. I got two bottles
l)r Vierce'i Coldcn Medical Discovery, which I
believe aved my Hfe. J cannot express my
gratitude to you. I am able now t6 do very
good work."

dren. Why. we would continue to turn Into
the state treasury the sum of nearly $300,
000 annually more thsn we receive from It.
Some of the fellows who are so strong In
their opposition to this bill ought to paste
these figures In their hat."
V. ('. T. I. nnd I,leene,
The attitude of the stato organization ot
the Woman's Christian Temperance union
has somewhat changed In regard to the pas
sage of the cigarette bill. When the bill
was first Introduced numerous petitions
wore received by different legislators ask
ing them to support the bill, ono of these
coming from Mary D. Russell of W'ymore,
the secretary of the state organization.
The organization seems to have experienced
a change of heart, however, as would be
Indicated by a letter received by Senator
Edgar, written by Mrs. Itutsell, asking him
to use his Influence to have the bill killed
and requesting that the petition forwarded
by her some weeks ago, praying that the
act be passed, bo withdrawn. The reason
given by the members of the organization
for this sudden change of mind Is tho fact
that tbo bill has a license clause, and they
do not care to go on record as asking for
the passage ot a measure which would
make the sale of cigarettes legal, even
though It contain n license clause which
was Inserted for the purpose of making the
salo prohibitive.
The pennfe Cnlnidnr.
The senate calendar prepared each week
by Secretary McKlsson shows that up to
March 11, out of a total ot 303 bills In
troduced In tho senate, 118 of them havo
been postponed, forty-six have passed tho
senate, two failed to pass, ninety-seven
are on general file nnd thirty-two aro In tho
hands of committees.
ONCE PLATTSMOUTH'S RIVAL
Orenpnll, with It Promise of Rrent.
nexa, Xon Out)- nn Indistinct
Memory.
Conrad Schlatvr, In the l'lattsmouth Jour
nal, gives the following account ot the riie
and fall ot O redpolls, which Its sponsors
fondly hoped would outstrip l'lattsmouth
and become the metropolis of Cnsfc county:
"It may be news to some citizens of
l'lattsmouth that there ever was a town
built at the mouth pf tho Platte river, ovc ty
house of which has long since been moved
away. Hut such is the case.
"A company of capitalists, with Dr. John
Ians ot Chicago as presldcn'., an.l Prof.
Loctnls as vice president, took it Into
their heads to build a town nt tha mouth
of that river, In opposition to Ptattsmouth.
It was named Oreapolls. The name was
taken from the Greek tongue and means
the mouth of a river.
"Tho town was laid out In' business lots
and streets and 'residence lots. Several
storehouses and a good many residence
buildings sprung up -like mushrooms. A
large two-story school house, called it sem
inary, was built on a beautiful plat ''f
grouch on n high bluff southeast of the
town, and was surrounded by large tiees
of the red oak, burr oak and other varie
ties. Tho scenery from tho seminary was
grand and beautiful. On tho other side ot
tho Missouri river could bo seen Council
Dluffs, St. Mary, the grand old bluffs above
Pacific City and between that and Glen
wood nnd as far as the eye' could reach
over and down the river bottom on the Iowa
sld-i, on tho Nebraska side sn expansive
nnd beautiful view of the broad valley of
the Platte.
"Tho bluffs near the seminary wcro soon
dotted all over with well built dwelling
houses, all built cottago style. Hero the
parents Intended to live to bo close to the
seminary. .Everything had a prosperous
outlook and prospects were bright for the
future.
"Peter A. Sarpy's Bteam ferryboat was
brought' down from St. Mary which town
was ready to sink Into tho Missouri river
and commenced to bring emigrants across
tho river to Oreapolls. He began bringing
them over for less than tho Plattsmouth
boat charged and a slashing of prices be
tween the two boats commenced In dead
earnest. Dut I myself know that many
emigrants who were brought over by !or
py's boat would follow the bluff down to
Pliittsmouth to do their trading ririally
Snrpy sent posters all over southern lown
Inviting emigrants to como via Orcnpolls,
promising them free ferrlago nnd nil the
whisky they wanted to drink thrown In.
This settled the matter and the Platts
mouth ferry ceased to be a competitor.
"I will not say whether tho stores In
Orcnpolls had opened for business or not,
but I am sure some ot the cottages built
by tho townstte company wcro occupied.
Hut the end of tho Oreapolls boom soon
came nnd tho destruction of tho t'jwn.
"Tho winter had been severe and a great
deal of snow had accumulated in tho moun
tains of Colorado. Wyoming and Montnna
and this snow melted -rapidly that spring
and It formed a flood that swept down tho
Platte nnd Missouri rivers, overflowing tho
low lands, Including Oreapolls. Every
store room, every dwelling on the bottom
land was flooded and people had to he
taken from their homes In skiffs.
"It was a sight to hehold houses, stores,
barns everything under water.
"It was weeks before the waters re
ceeded and when they went down they left
the streets covered with, raud nnd debris
and pools of water stagnated in the low
places for frogs to croak In. 1
"Dr. Evans at onco sold out his Interest
In the townslte and left for Colorado to
speculate. In a better .field. Prof. Loomls
also left. People owning bouses sold them
lo neighboring farmers. Somo of tho lum
ber found Its way Into riattsmouth and
other towns. The seminary came Into the
hands ot James Torter, who toro. It down
and removed the brick and lumber to
Plattsmouth and from Us remnants erected
a fine duelling house the one now owned
and occupied as a home by John Tutt, In
South Park addition.
"All the residence houses surrounding
tho seminary were taken down and the
lumber sold. Sarpy's ferryboat struck a
snag near the old Conrad Hippie brewery
and went to the botton ot the river and
all there is left of the beat Is tho bell,
which has done duty for the last twenty
years on my College Hill farm and Is nt
present In my possession at my home, I
think some of placing It among the relics
in Ben Hempel's museum at tho court
house.
"And such was the finish to the once
greatly advertised town of Oreapolls."

SALT LAKE CITY, March 11. Today,
three days before the legislature comes to
a close, the house, by n ote of 2!i to 17
and after mi exciting debate, In which more
than a dozen members participated, passed
the Evans' senate bill amending that por
tion of tho revised statutes of Utah relat
ing to prosecutions for violation of tlvj
mnrrlago relation, Having passed tho sen
ate last week by a vote of 11 to 7, the doc
ument now goes to tho governor for signa
ture. This bill, which was Introduced by Sen
ator A. J. Evans of Juab county, has caused
more discussion nnd more feeling than any
mcasuro Introduced nt the present session
of the legislature. Its text Is as follows:
Every person who hns reason to believe
Hint ii crime or public offense hm been
committed may make complaint ngitln'H
such person before I'omo magistrate hav
ing authority to make Inquiry nf same,
providing that no prosecution shrill bo
commenced except nn complaint of the

within tho first degree of consanguinity, or
the person with whom the unlawful net
Is nlleRcd to have beeil committed, or of
the father or mother of mild person, nnd no
prosecution of the unlawful cohabitation
shall be commenced except on complaint of
the wife or alleged plural wife, but this
proviso shall nut apply to prosecutions
under section 42i of the revised statute.

marriages,
Nennlor Ivtnna Kvplnlnv,
In answer lo a request for a statement
as to ihc object of the bill, Senator Evans,
Its author, furnished the Associated Press
tho following:
My object In presenting the hill was two.
fold. In tho lirst place. It was Intended
to keep down public iicltutloii by taking
nwny from jrtnln agitators tho oppor
tunity to urnuse periodic furors ngnlnst the
Mormons directly, nnd Indirectly against
tho state of I'tiili. nnd for that reason Its
primary purpose was for tho good .if the
state, I believe that ix general law upon
our statute hooks, In conformity with the
laws of Minnesota. Michigan, Iowa, North
Dakota und Oregon, nnd oven more liberal
laws, would creuto much less iigltnt'on
throughout the country than the practice
which hns heretoforo been restorted to of
arresting every few weeks xonin Mormon
nnd having the nrrest announced In glow
ing headlines by nil those newspapers
throughout the country which can be In
duced to take up mi iintt-Mormon crusade,
hverybody knows that lhej,e nrrcsts have
been made for political nnd rellgnu pur
poses nnd not with any patriotic desire to
enforce tho law.
I'roNectit Ion I'miecenKnr.v iiit,
Within tho Inst ten years much more than
lialf of those Involved in polygamous re
Intloiis have been otherwise dissolved.
Mnny of tho people have advanred In years
and no good or honorable purposo can bo
accomplished by prosecuting tho few polyg
amous persons.. Every ono of these pros
ecutions Is a source of regret to fully fO
ner cent of tho people of Utah, for the rcn
son that such proceedings create an ngltn
tion harmful to the stnjo.
It may bo that nn ngltntlon more hnrm
ful can bo Inaugurated by reason of tho
passage of this law. but I do not believe It.
To uso tho metaphor, we aro between tho
devil anil the deep sen. and tho bill Is In
tended to relieve the state of n condition of
?'j"KiimnrpihnrmfV!', Ill;m' opinion, thnn
this bill could possibly be.
Surely the United States will permit Utnh
to act In Ita domestic roncerns with as
much freedom oh Is allowed such states as
thoso 1 have nnmed, especially when the
'Sr."1?.0' 1.no enabling nctund our stato con.
stltutlon hnyp been strictly complied with.
I have In this matter acted with the best
motives and according to.whnt, In my Judg
ment, is for tho best InrercstA' of the com
monwealth. ' - r
Van Horn SeeV Onnuer.
Representative W. O. Van Horn of Salt
Lake, who mado an impassioned speech
against the passago of thq bill In the house
today, furnished tho Associated Press with
the following stntemcnt:
Tho first object of tho bill Is undoubtedly
to prevent prosecution of thoso maintaining
polygamous relations, long Blnce contracted.
Tho cfTcct, however, will probably bo to
havo adopted n constitutional nmendmcnt
giving power to congress to Icglslato
ngnlnst polygamy and unlnwful cohabita
tion. Laws passed under such nn amend
rrent would be prosecuted by United States
district nttorneys sworn to enforce tho
law and thq violations will bo carefully
looked up by United States marshals anil
their assistants. There will thus be a re
turn to conditions prevalent during tho ng
gresslvo prosecutions under tho Edmunds
Tucker lnw, when hundreds of prominent
Mormons wero Imprisoned for tho polyga
mous pructlcc nnd numberless others wero
In hiding or out of lltnh to avoid arrest.
Thero will, however, In rase of conviction
bo additional hnrdshlps from thoso sufTer
lng In former times, The men convicted
were Imprisoned and wore deemed by their
neighbors as martyrs rather than criminals.
Convicted under United .States law they
would bo confined In United Htntca prlsona
nutsldo of Utah nnd nwny from tho sup
port nnd consolation of their friends. I op
posed tho bill In all friendship for tho Inw
abldlng people of Utnh and with pity for
tho suffering that those not strictly law
abiding will bring upon themselves. It is a
distinct step backward nnd can bring
naught but misery.
