WASHINGTON, March l.-(Speclal Teh gram.) Senators Millard and Burkett made every effort today to Induce the State de partment to appoint Max Baehr to serve at some consulate other than Clenfuegos, Cuba, If It could not consistently withdraw the nomination of Mr. Thompson of Illi nois for that place. The senators called on the president and stated they were greatly surprised at the action taken by the State department In removing Mr. Baehr without even so much as permitting him to re sign. The president said that Nebraska had more than Its quota of consular officers, save her from the consequences of her rash act. "If he is a friend at all, he ought most of all, to be one when I am In trouble," she said. "I shall never marry hlra now." KNOCKED DOWN BY RUNAWAY Wyoming? Man Badly Braised ae Re salt ot aa Accident oa the Street. :- J. 1 Becker, a stockman from Kearney; was knocked down by a runaway horse at the corner of Twelfth and Farnam streets at 5:45 last evening. Becker received bruises about the head and right side, but was not seriously Injured. ! The horse belonged to Dr. Walker and was being taken to the doctor's office by Willie Gerhard, a lS-y ear-old lad, from the stable where the horse is kept. On the way to the doctor's office the horse became scared at something and got beyond the boy's .control. Becker went to cross Far nam atrect at Twelfth, not seeing the fast coming horse, and Just after stepping oft the curb was struck by the horse and thrown to the pavement. At the same time the boy was thrown from the buggy and the horse broke loose from the buggy and continued on its way down Farnam street 'ting the worst of the fight and In order to even mat tors up picked up an empty beer bottle which was nnndv and struck An derson over the hesd with If, ending the fight. Both men were brought te .the Ma tlon, where Anderson's wotin,1a wore dressed by iPollce Surgeon Kennedy. He had a large. Jagged cut upon the top of his head where the bottle had broken when it struck hla head. Nebraska tftrla Accept nalleaar. MINNEAPOLIS.

They go further and charge that i this is but the manifestation of the general scheme of the railroads to seek to divert attention of the .legislators and their constituents from the main Issue and fix it on some sub ject of leas magnitude and importance, even though It may be the bridge matters, which of course are recognised as deserv ing of serious consideration. Those members who really want to ful fill their pledges to the people and enact salutary railroad ' laws are provoked at the delay of oertaln hills contemplating this ..purpose. .. They have not yet beard any outcry from Lancaster county against th s artful system of procrastination. . Engineers Bill Vetoed. After having run the gauntlet of both houses, been defeated once and resurrected, S. F. S, the county ,-. engineer bill, has Anally been declared invalid and Governor Mickey . has refused to sign It. The bill did not contain a repealing clause and for that reasons It was Vetoed by the governor. Tomorrow,, however, he will make a per sonal request of the legislature to permit the introduction of a similar measure. The bill makes the county surveyors of Doug las and Lancaster counties ex-offlcio en gineers to these two counties.

In these bills, however, it is feared by the intro ducer the senate waa too liberal in that at the last minute Jones of Otoe moved an amendment, which was carried, that the widow be given one-half of the real estate of her husband when the latter shall have died Without having made a will.
