MMOt.N, March !?. (Special.) It l
r. .v an nMturetl fan that there will b no
rc ballot la enacted by the present les-l-.rt
ure, thy Kdifar bill liavltiu been ulilt
tta 1t1 oer in tho house, and the Wil
kinson bill, prepared by a special commit
tee on ballot laws In the home. The de
lea of the Kdnr bill Is most iinfortunaie.
Ir.nmuch as It provided for Just what the
ta'c press has been clamoring ever since
the present awkward bollot wan Introduced.
The Kdsar b;Il provided for a return to
"A hat Is known us the "blanket-sheet" ballot,
vhich Is one whet eon the tickets of the
different putties are printed In separate
columns, and not in one lorn; column, as
prowdo-1 for by the present law. It also
prohlbi'u fusion. Inasmuch a no one name
i.itt appear on the baUot more than once.
The bill was lild aside after It reached the
houie for the purpose of Rtvlntt the Wilkin
ion bill preference, but thU bill never
reached the senate and the result Is that
whon the lestslaturo adjourns tomorrow It
Mill do so with the same ballot law on the
s'atu'os which has been so obnoxious to
the people of all parties.

In a resolution presented today, Senator
Krumbnch asks that a committee of three
b- named for the ptrrposo of Investigating
charges made agnlnst Senators Krumbnch,
Weber and Meredith, all (unionists, in a
rwtnt Issue of a Lincoln paper. The
charges referred to arc to the effect that
the senators named had gone to the store
loom and had H large lot of goods, com
prising almost everything kept in the store
house, from u rubber band to a doormat
or cuspidor, packed In boxes with the Inten
tion of having them shipped to their homes.
The gentlemen referred to claim that an
Investigation will show that thec Mip
piles were not sol'cited by them but that
tbey were taken at the suggestion of an
employe, who told them that It was cus
tomary for the members of the lcglttlature
to supply themselves with these articles
a the clofo of each session, und the claim
Is made that u thorough Investigation Mill
how up the fact that many other mem
lers are Implicated in this kind of work.
The committee named for thi purpose of
making this Investigation will probably
mako its report some time tomorrow.

began to sell some cheap Jewelry, tie was ,

talker. Impressed the people and soon had
the audience believing he was on the
square, and would be in Kearney all week. !
After he had sold a small purse, a pocket '
ccmb, handkerchief soil several other j
trinkets for '5 cents, he asked $1 for a !
rockctbook and someone purchased it. The j
Englishman then made the purchaser of .
the jvocVetbook a presen' of a ring and a ,
watch chain and gave him the dollar back, i
"Just to advertise his goods and himself."
Then he asked $1 for another pocketbook,
got the money and made another present,
gUliig back the money.
All were anxious to avail themselves of
'he bargains and raised their willing hands
at, every bait offered.
The atrangcr occasionally sold three or
four cheap combinations of Jewelry for 2."
cents and then asked "Who will give mt
a dollar for nothing?" Several handed over
the money and were immediately given
their silver back, arxompanled by more
Jewelry. Then he Introduced cigars to the
audience and also gave these away free
of charge after he had been given a dollar
for nothing, In every case returning the
mot,ey. More easily to tope the citizens
in, he said ho would be here Friday even
ing and offer some mammoth bargains In
fcrtiiture. He snld the only way he could
advertise his goods was to give them
away and he admonished the people to Iojc
no time, but avail themselves of the op
portunities ottered, for "be was going, to do
them."
After ho had been entertaining about two
hours he sprung five-dollar watch chain:,
on the people and sold thirty for $1 each.
Then he asked for five-dollar bills, and at
the same time told that he wanted the
money and would not promise what he
would give In return. Twenty hands wcte
up In an instant, all thinking tbey would
reielve a box of cigars in return, and also
their five-dollar bills or gold pieces. All
were enjoying themselves with expectation.
As he received the money he placed It
on cigar box and soon had a pile of boxes
ttat numbered nearly forty. Then he took
a cigar out of one of-the boxes and asked
10 for the cigar. The audience wavered,
and to accomplish the bargain he took a
watch anil chain from his pocket and
offeted it for a present. One of Kearney's
pioneer settlers swallowed the bait and one
of the man's hired boys look the money,
and then another availed himself of a
cigar at the price of ?in.
Ily this time about 4100 had been passed
over to the stranger. Slips were then
given and the man who had paid MO for
the one cigar was given a watch, chain,
live rings, selssori.. earrings and other ar
ticles. Then to the people who had given
him t" for nothing he made each of them
severally acknowledge that they had given
it for nothing, and then donated lo each
of them a box of cigars, together with a
small printed slip containing the words,
"one dollar." He said that the evening
performance would conclude with a con
cert. His partner then sang "Just Be
cause She Made Those Goo-Goo Eyes."
after which the curtain dropped and all filed
out, some with boxes under their arms,
with a sad smile. Night police were at the
opera house, but no one seemed to care
about filing a complaint and the three
strangers left the city about MOO ahead,
and. as their chief had said. "It was all for
nothing."
