(From a flta.IT Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. April 17. (Special Tele
gram.) Conrreasman Pollard has returned
to Washington after a close examination
of the political conditions In the First dis
trict of Nebraska. Mr. Pollard was on the
floor of the house today and had the satis
faction of seeing; the bill ha introduced
(ranting- a pension of $34 to I V. Bennett
of Plattsmouth passed.
"I am perfectly satisfied with the pAlitlcal
situation in the first district," Mr. Pollard
said in reply to an Inquiry. "The only op
position to me comes from the railroad
politicians of Lincoln and a man here and
there over the district who Is willing- to do
their bidding. Reports that come to me
from all parts of the district indicate
clearly that the people are In favor of my
return to congress. I feel confident that
this year the people will dictate the nomi
nations of all their candidates. In their
hands I feel that my Interests are safe."
Norrls Vrsjes Ra.ll road Bill.
Congressman Norris appeared before the
Interstate commerce committee of the house
today in behalf of his bill limiting the
number of hours railway employes may
work without rest. His bill provides that
all employes connected with the movement
of railroad trains must have eight hours'
rest and they cannot work more than
twelve hours at any one time. No action
was taken on the bill, the committee dectd
log to hold another meeting Friday.
Bill for Relief of Settlers.
The house passed a bill authorising the
secretary of agriculture to designate lands
within forest reserves chiefly valuable for
agrlcaitdraand-te permit -homestead settle
ment thereon. A special bill applying only
to the Black Hills forest reserve passed tho
house about ten days ago. The bill passed
today Is general la its character and ap
plies to all forest reserves in the United
States except in California. It is under'
stood there Is some objections to a general
bill in the senate.. The probabilities are that
the Black Hills measure will pass the sou
ate at this session. This will afford relief
to several hundred settlers within the Black
Hills forest reserve who for one reason or
another have not been able to obtain titles
to their lands. Many of them have exten
sive improvements. The bill is well guarded
ao as to protect the mining Industry and
to prevent the taking of timber or mineral
lands under the homestead law. The Black
Hills measure was introduced by Mr. Mar
tin and both bills were reported by him
from the house committee on public lands.

making some threats. Just then Max
James and his wife came driving along. He
was mistaken for 8chroves. Several shots
were fired and one horses's head and neck

striking his hand. Mrs. James was shot
In the neck, causing a slight abrasion, but

LINCOLN, April 17. (Special.) land
Commissioner Eaton returned last night
from a trip out In the state where he went
to lease school hinds. He visited Cherry,
Rock, Holt, Brown. Sheridan. Dawes and
Bloux counties, leasing In all some 25,000
acres of land at an average price of ll.oO
an acre. On this trip the land commis
sioner succeeded in leasing every acre of
laud owned by the school fund In these
counties, the first time on record this has
been accomplished. The price at which the
land is leased is also about four times ss
high as In former years. Considerable
school land Is now leased for 16 cents sn
acre, but It Is safe to predict this will never
occur again owing to the largely Increased
value of the land. Considerable Competi
tion developed when Mr. Eaton began leas
ing the land and a majority of those who
secured lenses were homesteaders who set
tled In tho counties named under the pro
visions of the Klnkald homestead law.
Bis; School Apportionment.
State Treasurer Mortensen will make no
special efforts during the next few weeks
to Increase the temporary school fund
from which the regular semi-annual school
apportionment Is to be made on the third
Monday In May. The indications are,
however, the apportionment will be larger
than at the same time last year. At this
time the temporary school fund Is $30,000
In excess of what it was at the same time
In 1905. This Is no Indication, however,
that the 1905 May apportionment of $389,000
will be exceeded because It Is possible the
county treasurers have sent in most of their
collections and from now until the time
of the apportionment is made the collec
tions returned to the treasurer may be
small.
The amount of Interest being returned to
the temporary school fund is less than a
few years ago because of the sale of
school lands or the closing of contracts for
the purchase of lands. The investment In
school lands paid 6 per cent interest, but
as many of the lessees of the land are pay
ing the principal this interest Is being re
duced to 3 per cent,, as the principal has
to be invested In state certificates, which
pay a rate of Interest half as high. Inas
much as there has been paid Into the
treasury some $500,000 for school lands the
reduction In the amount of Interest is a
very material sum. So far though, this has
not been noticed because the investments
have materially increased, which has kept
the interest paid In about what it has been,
Under the law, however, there will be
no more school land sold except that which
Is already contracted for.
Rock Island Appeals Damage Caae.
Out In Sarpy county the Rock Island rail
road. In improving Its system, built a steel
bridge to take the place of a wooden struc
ture which it had maintained for years.
The steel bridge, according to William S.
Ely, who was farming near the bridge, was
so low it caught driftwood and caused the
waters of Buffalo creek to overflow and
ruin his crops. So Ely brought a suit to
get pay for his crops and in the lower court
he won out. The Rock Island has appealed
the case to the supreme court. . , .
Mickey to Speak at, Stanton.
Governor Mickey has accepted an invita
tion to deliver the address at the Memorial
day exercises to be held In Stanton on Dec
oration day. It Ab understood Governor
Mickey will take advantage of this occasion
to speak some plain facts regarding cor
porations and their interests in affairs of
state. It is understood also he will give a
few suggestions of how these concerns
should be treated by the voters of the state.
The governor was invited to speak at
Plattsmouth, Beatrice and a few other
places on Memorial day, but as he had al
ready accepted the Invitation to go to Stan
ton the others had to be declined.
Dipsomaniac Law Attacked.
The supreme court met today with all the
judges and commissioners present. Before
the court proper was argued this morning
the constitutionality of the dipsomaniac
law, which came up In the case where Will
iam Simmons of Dawes county is trying
to keep out of the asylum on a charge of
being an inebriate. Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Thompson made the argument for the
state and Captain Fisher of Chadron at
tacked the law.
Careleaaneaa May Invalidate BUI.
H. R. 3, providing for the conveyance
of the interest in lands of an Insane hus
band or wife, passed by the last legisla
ture, is believed to be Invalid, all because
someone in the house or in the house en
rolling room was careless enough to leave
off of the enrolled bill the amendments
adopted by the senate and the house. The
bill was introduced by Perry of Furnas
county by request of the Judiciary commit
tee, was passed by the house, materially
amended by the senate, returned to the
house, which body accepted the senate
amendments, and the bill was enrolled
without the senate amendments and was
taken to Governor Mickey, who approved it.
The defective condition of the bill was dis
covered by a Lincoln lawyer. A house and
lot in Lincoln had been conveyed by a
woman whose husband Is In an asylum and
a second conveyance or sale had about been
completed when a lawyer took the pains
to Investigate the history of the bill and
discovered vital errors.
Protest on Liquor License.
When Levi Munaon, proprietor of the
Royal hotel, went before the excise board
this morning for a liquor license, he ran
into Thomas Darnell, attorney. Rev. Mr.
Batten and a few others who were there to
protest. After a hasty conference, Mun
aon withdrew his application.
The county commissioners of I-ancaster
county are going to do business under the
county engineer bill passed by the last
legislature and for that reason they have
delayed action on the bids to construct
bridges the coming year. Engineer Scott
is out of the city and until he gets back
to look over the bids no action will be
taken.

HASTINGS, Neb.. April 17.-f8peclal.)-The
municipal electric lighting plant, which
was Installed early In 1901, has been suc
cessful beyond expectations. The report
of the city clerk shows that Its receipts
during Its Ave years of operation, up to
April 1, were over $13,000 more than Its
disbursements. Not only has the plant
more than paid Its current expenses, but
It has also given the city street lighting
which would have cost many thousands of
dollars.
The plant supplies seventy-six street arc
lamps. For this service the city formerly
paid a private enterprise $8 per lamp per
month, of $7,269 a year. At this rate the
street lamps would have cost the city dur
ing the five years over $36.noo. Through the
operation of the municipal plant the clty
has not only saved the $36,000 which It
would have paid to a private plant, but
has also made a profit on domestic busi
ness of $13,000. The total cost of Installa
tion with all permanent improvements up
to April 1 was $70,901.
Since the gambling Institutions and other
disreputable resorts were banished the po
lice business of the city has diminished
several hundred per cent. In 1901 approxi
mately $3,500 was collected In police court
fines and costs. Since that year the reve
nues of the police court have steadily de
creased, being only $406.70 last year.
The city government of Hastings Is
maintained with a 30-mlIl levy on a valua
tion of $1,433,334, producing $43,000.

FREMONT II. C. McHenry, a carpen
ter, about 60 years old. and whose sons
are In business here, accumulated a big
Jag Friday night and got out a loaded
rifle to shoot himself and wife. She ran
to a neighbor's house with the old man
In pursuit. He did not succeed in getting
in, and, after storming around for awhile,
went home just as the police reached
there. They took him to the station and
he was arraigned this afternoon. The com
plaint was withdrawn. His sons took the
part of their mother in the affair.

the Great Northern arrived here this morn- (

afternoon. It was put on principally for j
