Got the DrOp on Them.

OMAHA, Neb, March lit has just
been learned that among the numerous
bills passed by the legislature just before
adjourning was one requiring press
news associations and telegraph COM
panies doing business in Nebraska to
deliver news dispatches to any paper
applying for them and paying for them
at an established price. The law re-
quires such associations also to file ar
ticles of incorporation. Penalties are
attached, one of which is 81 900 for
every refusal to deliver dispatches to
any newspaper willing to pay for the
same, whether such paper belongs to
the press association or not. The As
sociated Press papers here as well as the
best lawyers claim the law is unconsti-
tutional SO far as compelling the delivery
of dispatches to papers not members of
the association.

Sahin,s Say So.

CHICAGO. March Id M. Sabin,
United States senator-electfr from Mime
sofa, was at the Grand Pacific hotel
yesterday, and left last night for Wash
ington. The new senator is about as
as young man as the next senate will
contain. He is not quite 40 years of
age, about five feet ten inches in height,
dark compleXioned, and wears heavy
coal-black nustache. In response to 81
question concerning the feeling among
Minnesota politicians, now that the
smoke Of the senatorial battle has clear
ed away, said: '.All grievances are
laid aside. 1t is really surprise that
such good feelings preyailes, and no
feuds perpetuated between men of the
same political belief | have never had
any personal ill-will toward Mr. Win
dom, but opposed him because my
friends wanted new man, and hon
ored me with their confidence"
"What was the real cause of Mr.
Window defeat?n
Il suppose it will do no harm to dis
close the inside workings of the sena-
torial fight now. Congressman Dunnell
left no stone unturned to beat him, and
he must be given the credit for the fight
against Window. The latter saw that
Dunnell had senatorial aspirations, and
concluded to get him out of the way

The Evils OF Street Filtration.

A valuable lesson as to the evils of
street Irritation, which a large class Of
young girls indulge in nowadays,
was given in an Omaha court, the
other day, when certain society belle
filled an application for divorce from
her husband, on the ground that he
has never contributed cent to her
support, that he is professional burg
lar and has been confined in q number
of penitentiaries. The acquaintance
between the two was the result of a
street Irritation, which ripened into init
macy and subsequent clandestine mar
ri"So. The man was total stranger
to the young woman, and made her
believe that he resided in St. Louis.
where his family occupied a prominent
social position.
