ernor Qeer that be was In favor' of giving
$10,000, and the members of: the: house; and
senate finance committee Said they were In
favor of whatever the governor was. Bo It
would seem as 'though the 'matter is sub
stantially settled. The . plan will be to
amend the 'appropriation bill so as to In
clude this Item.
.Speaking of the matter. Governor Mickey
said: "Nebraska can well afford to do this.
We have a large export trade In Oregon;
we ship a vast -empaot , of .produce their,
and we ought to build up that. market, but
not only for' that' reason, hut from a truly

The house. committee on titles and towns
has drawn some Important amendments to
the Omaha charter bill, which la in It
haada after second' reading;'- ltdoubtless
f lit; amend the bill so as to give the, city
coancll the. power to Increase the number
of wards and councilmen from nine to thir
teen, allowing the new councilmen to be
elected. Ip .the. fall, and hold over unUl thn
next regular city, election. ' '
The salary" 'ot. rhe health commissioner
has been restored to $2,000, and that of the
cl.ty electrician to $1,800,, while the salary
of the building inspector la raised to
$1,800.
This change .U. inserted In the bill: "DIo
new appointive office shall hereafter be
created unlesa by consent of the mayor and
a two-thirds vote of the council."
The committee will get the bill on gen
eral file as early as possible.
Mlckejr org State Insurance.
Oovernor Mickey today sent, to the bouse
and senate a communication calling atten
tton to the law empowering the- governor
to Insure the state buildings. The gov
ernor said to a correspondent for The Bee
that hla purpose In doing this was not. to
dictate or even suggest what course should
be pursued by the legislature, but simply
to call attention to the law- empowc.-lng
the chief executive to Insure the state'a
property, ao that .If there w as a demand for
action In this direction it might be brought
to the attention of the lawmakers before
they adjourned.
"1 don't care to Influence legislation one
way or the other," said . the governor.
"Merely as a business man. I deemed. It
my . duty to lay the. matter before the
members." , '
' Aa a matter of fact, there seems to be
no deslr to depart from the present policy
in the matter of insuring state, Institu
tions. At least, no sucb desire can ' be
found among the legislators. It the build
lags are to be insured, an appropriation Is
necessary, and hence the suggestion to the
legislature.
Oallawt Bucket Shops.
'The bouae judiciary committee today de
cided to recommend for passage H. R. 96S,
by JdcLalu, placing bucket-shops in the
category of gambling Institutions and pro
hibiting-, their operation anywhere In thn
state, and. fixing penalty upon any per
son' who renta a room or building for the
maintenance of such place. . ' -
Davis of the house committee on finance,
ways an,d, naeana, today, in -speaking of .the
appropriation made for the Hastings asy
lum, which la 40 per cent h'.gher than, two
years ago, said the committee found that
the demands of the. Institution -made th?
enlarged appropriation necessary. He
pointed out that the appropriation bad
been made en the basis cf 1,050 Inmates at
the asylum, and that this would give 45 Vi
cents per .capita for the maintenance of
these inmates. ' Thla Includes expense for
fuel, food, clothing, bedding and medical
care, and, In the judgment of Mr. Davis, la
as low as circumstance will warrant. ' -Berrelarr
Marah Kxplalna.
As a result of the report of the senate
committee on accounts and expenditure
a motion by Harriaon of Hall wa adopted
to have the ejnatecommlttee .confer with
the house committee In regard to having
the custodian of the supplies of the legis
lature a creature of the legislature. Mr.
Harrison stated that it waa the under
atandtng of .the committee that W. H.
Clark, the present store keeper, bad been
appointed, by Secretary of State Marsh,
when the store keeper should have been
appointed by the legislature.
In diacuulng the Items In the expense
account, upon which tha committee, made
Its report, Secretary Marsh . aaidtha, $150
worth of toilet paper mentloaad In tha M-
port was not purchased by him. "This
paper," said Mr slnreh, wac pu-chased
two yeas ag by "Secretary Porter for
$176. The legislature at that time refused
to pay the entlie Mil and the merchant
would rot accept a part. Consequently the
bill was again placed before the legislature
this year. The' pnprr was delivered and
has been In. .use In the state house, ev. r
elnce and there Is enough here to last two
years more.
"Aa for tht $.".55 forarnlsh, all the facta
are not told. This $r55 was to-psy not only
for the vsrnteh, but for burning the old
varnish off of the chairs and furniture of
the legislative halls and for decorating
several of the rooms. The $555 paid the
I entire bill."
Secretary Marsh explains the fact that
he certified to the bill for the carpet, be
cause probably It was brought to him In
a hurry 'and In the rush of that and other
business he attached his signature, without
cloeely examining the bill.
Aa proof that the quality of carpets sold
by the Hardy Furniture company to the
itale' through the secretary of state la
genulno ami what- was represented, the
Hardy people today had, other carpet men
roalte Investigations of the carpets and re
port their findings. These findings support
this contention.
Legislative Gossip.
S. F. 125, providing that fees- In certain
rases should bo pal-1 to fae commissioner
of public lands and buildings, is in the
hands of the governor, but to far has not
been signed. The bill Is clearly mncon?
srltutional and It Is safe to say that the
signature of the governor will not be at
tached to It. The constitution provides
that no state officer excet.t the state treas
urer, shall receive fees for any purpose.
At thj bill provides for fees to be paid
nto.the office of the land commissioner for
filing certain papera. It la contrary to the
provisions of the constitution. Governor
Mickey will not aay whether he will sign
the bill but it 4s known- that 'he la very
much In favor of a bill of this character.
It Is probable that after vetoing thla bill
he will recommend a bill-of a similar na
ture ml th changes that will make It con
form Xq the constitution. . ., .

until they ceaad entirely, and where I

that Does Not Appear
Feasible.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March 7. (Special Tele
gram.) In view of the action of the SoutL
Dakota delegation and the efforts made by
Senator Diet-rich and Representative N orris
looking to tbe sinking of artesian wells, the
following extract from a recent declaion
of the secretary of the Interior on thn
subject of drilling artesian . well ..under
the provisions of the reclamation act of
June 17, 1902, la of timely interest:
. "Th act in quest lou provldea that .all
moneys received from the sale and dla
posal of public lands in certain states and
territories shsll be reserved, set aside and
Appropriate ,aa a special fund In the trea:
ury, to be known as the 'reclamation fund,'
and used In the examination and survey
fer and construction of Irrigating works
for the storage, diversion and .development
of waters In reclamation of arid and semi
arid lands In seid states and territories.
Preliminary examinations and surveys will
probably be neceEsary to the sinking of any
artesian well, but no reasonable construc
tion of tbe .language used will sustain the
conclusion that said act contemplates the
sinking of sucb wells as' part of the pre
liminary examination authorized. Tho
fund created thereby la to be used to de
velop and conserve the water aupply for
Irrigation purposes. Chimerical , proposi
tions are not to be exploited. In prosecu
tion Of this work no project, whether It
Involves a scheme of artesian' wells, con
struction, of reservoir or of any other Irri
gation works, should be entered upon that
doea not appear to be feasible and that
doea. not present a probability that It will
tend to the attainment of the object pro
posed. It !, not permissible to' sink . an
artesian well or to construct any works for
conserving water when there are no raaaon
for aupposing that water can probably be
had, or, if had. It will not be suitable for
Irrigation purposes. Neither is it per
missible to sink an artesian well or to un
dertake any other work tending to . de
velop or conserve the water aupply. where
It la not probable that tbe water wil". be
needed or used for Irrigation."
