LINCOLN. Dec. 4.-(Special.)-ForKetUn
practically everything, else, representatives
of the railroad! are bending every effort
to prevent the enactment of a law whereby
rallrvad depots UO'I terminals In amall
town and cltlea will be taaed for ran
ti'clpal nurpoeca the same aa all other
classes of- property. According to reliable
repcrta brought to Lincoln the raiiroad
representative, not content with trying to
line up the atnto against Omaha, are pre
paring. In the event jot the failure of Una
arheme, to fix the till to be passed, id It
will b unconstitutional and noncnforccablc,.
Their chme,"as told by. one who knows,
la to again, .work the, members by claiming
that to iax lhls class of property, locally,
will be to take money out of the srln ol
fund, of the state.' "If the leginlator faiLa
to thing In this light. It Is the scheme
of the railroad agents to get the uncon
aplmious member to vote, for a clausa pro
viding thla extra money the big corpora
tions pay ahull go .Into the school fund of
the .various achool districts. Tills, of course,
woifld make doublo taxation and such a
law- could be enjoined and rendered use
lees. . .
Strange as It may seem, the argument
used by the railroad agenta that such a
system of taxation would take from the
school f'ind is having Its effect and two or
three legislators who have been here within
the 'last few days pretend to believe this
argument and will have to be convinced
before 'they will carry out this pledge of
the republican state platform. Apparently
none of thes.i member:! have thought of the
fact that the railroads are enjoining the
collect io.i of thctr taxes and there Is noth
ing left to take out of the school fund, so
far aa the railroad portion of It Is con
cerned. In their efforta to line up the state against
Douglas county, the railroads have the
loyal support, of their old time and most
of the time fake reformera, who never
fall to lake advantage of every opportunity
to take a knock at Douglas county and
push the railroad scheme along. These fake
reformers here are trying with might anJ
main to organise tho legislature and their
Idea- of an organization of this body !.
to make it antagonistic to Omaha and
Douglas county.
Legislators Visit Lincoln.
. During the day T. K. Alderson, representative-elect
from Madison county, called
upon Attorney 0meral Brown and also
picked out a aeat for the session. Mr. Al
derson said he was for carrying out every
pledge of the platform, but be did not in
tend to be one who conies to Lincoln with
a batch of bills In his pockets along those
lines.
Captain Hill of Imperial, re-elected repre
sentative, Is also here and will make a try
for speaker of the bouse.. Jes"e I Root of
Cass county. Is mingling with the supreme
court visitors and attorneys, while Clyde
jsarnara in maaing iny in ihb race ior rmei
clerk of the house. Mr, Barnard Is making
quite an extensive canvass and Inasmuch
a he has Douglas and Lancaster for hjm
he thinks his chance for election are good,
but he is not going .yo. stop hustling until
the caucua Is' held. ' .
;It Is umlerftitrtWff Wleaflw ohe state '
Committee eifoect to take -quite a hand In
the organlsatlon'of both the house and
senate, but what effect this will have re
mains to be seen.
Repre"entative-elect Smith of Boone
county was in Uncoln today and selected
his sea"' for the next aeaslon. Mr. Smith
la undoubtedly one of the youngest looking,
if not the youngest in years, of the men
elected this fall. He expressed himself red
hot for the republican platform. He made
vigorous campaign for hia election and
nomination and like the rest of 'the Boone
county people who come to Lincoln he Is
a good mixer and makes frlenda.
Bill ta Allow ahnotlnar of Sqalrrela.
A bill will be Introduced In the next
legislature to repeal the law which protects
be no open seaaon. That Inw brought down
the wrath of many hundreds of people liv
ing in Nebraska on the bead of the ven
erable member from Otoe. Just before re
moving to California he told a friend he
would like to come back to the legislature
Just once In order to get that bill repealed.
One man who came to Lincoln today said
ha saw fourteen squirrels feeding at one
comcrlb along the railroad tracks.
l.ealalators for Platform IMef.
Adam McMullen of Gage county, candi
date for speaker of tho house, accompanied
by Mrs. McMullen, was here today look
ing for a house to rent for the winter. Mr.
McMullen said he had received a number
of favorable replies to letters sent out re
garding his candidacy.
'This Is going to be a very determined
legislature," said Mr. McMullen, "and there
will be very little time wasted. Nearly all
of the letters I get which come from per
sons with whom I am not personally ac
quainted say the writer Is for a man who
will insist on carrying out the pledges of
the party platform. This Indicates to me
that the legislators are coming In here de
termined to carry out the platform to the
letter."
J. W. Armstrong, Nemaha'a candidate for
speaker, was here today to meet with a
number of his friends to further his can
didacy for this important position.
"I am only Interested in carrying out the
platform pledges," bald Mr. Armstrong,
"and 1 believe this will be an easy matter
If It Is' gone about In the right way. I
should think it a good plan to appoint a
committee to get up the bills and then the
entire legislature put them through. Of
course this may take from the glory of
the individual member, but it will prevent
a multiplicity of bills being Introduced and
I believe Is about the best way to get at
the matter. The committee could be se
lected at a caucus or some other way."
t'onsolldatla Two Homes.
An effort will be made this year to con
solidate the Girls' Industrial home at Mil
ford with the Home for the Friendless at
Lincoln, the united home to be at Mil ford.
Thla will leave the entire building now
used for the Home for the Friendless and
the Orthopedic, hospital for the use of the
latter. Tho Orthopedic hospital needs more
room, and Superintendent Lord will rec
ommend a large appropriation for a new
building, but us a lot or the legislators will
object to this expenditure, the consolidation
likely will be effected. It was defeated in
th last legislature because the Lincoln
people objected to the institution being
taken from the town.
Mike Lee Booming; Greater Omaha.
Mike Lee of Douglas county Is here meet
ing with the other visiting legislators and
talking up his greater Omaha. Mr. Lee
has made a trip to a lot of the aoutheast
counties and In each one he has preached
greatei Omalw. until now he believes the
next legislature will pass the annexation
bill and South Omaha, the Magic City, will
be a portion of Omaha.

FATAL ACCIDKT XEAR BLAIH
Pllearlver Goes Into 'River, Taking
Crew with It.
BLAIR, Neb., Dec. 4. (Special Telegram.)
The large pile drjver being used in con
structing a dike for protecting the bank
of the river three miles north of the Blair
river bridge, on the Iowa side, went Into j
the rlvor In twenty feet of water this
evening at S o'clock and Is a total wreck. I
Eight men were working on the driver
when It went and Reno Morrison, known
here as Reno Keppte, was drowned and
the body Is supposed to t under the
wreck. He was 19 years of age and lived
with his mother In Blair. The engineer,
Osceola Merlca. went down In his engine,
but succeeded in getting loose and came
up with hia head Jut above water and
was pulled out by his comrades.
The bridge company has about sixty men
at work on this Job and Is expecting to
put on a much larger force as soon as the
river freezes up. The appropriation for
this Improvement was Uii.OOO. The driver
was used for driving the long piles and
was being run out on them as fast as
they were driven and waa about twenty
feet above the water when the accident
occurred. The cross-ties or caps crushed
down over the ends of the piles, which
threw the driver Into the water. The
work is under the supervision of Bridge
Superintendent H. A. Wentworth, with N.
A. Cole as foreman of the gang and O. 8.
Stowe foreman of the driver crew. Young
Morrison was a helper on the driver.
Search for the body was abandoned to
night owing to the darkness and the swift
current of the river at that place.
