STATE HOUSE TOPICS.

State Laws, who returned yesterday after
noon from a trip to the Kearney reform
school, found everything very much to their
satisfaction there. The new buildings. con-
sistlng of two family buildings, a bakery and

State Superintendent Lane is sending out
circulars to the various county superintend-
ents asking them to send to his Office for
copies of the institute manual and course of
study which he has prepared and had printed.
The Live Stock Sanitary commission is
made miserable by letters charging their
agents with killing horses without exami-
n~ation-killing poor mems horses because
they are not able to fight them'-and max
ing all sorts of ridiculous charges. They re-
ceived a letter a day or TWO ago from a man
who wants pay for a horse which died before
the commissioners got around to examine it
probably in the theory that if they had got
there and killed the horse there would have
been q slight indemnity paid.
LINCOLN BRICK.
For the purpose of testing the question of
whether Lincoln clay will make as good
brick as can be made at other places, and as
q result of the adoption of brick as a paving
material in several districts in Lincoln, speci-
mems of brick were submitted to Prof.
Nicholson of the state university a few days
ago to be tested by him. The result of the
test as reported by him is as follows, as to
resistance and crushing force: Brick No. l,
manufactured at G~alesburg, Ill, 3,24S lbs. 4;
brick No. 2, manufactured at Lincoln by l..
X. Holmes, ,904 lbs. brick No. 3, manu-
featured Mt Beatrice, 3,136 lbs; brick No. 4,
manufactured at Lincoln by John Fitzgerald,
thoroughly tested for payements, and if Lin
coin brick is twice as durable the question of
paving material for this city may be con-
sidered settled.

TROUBLE BREWING,
There are signs of n Conilic6 between the
mayor and the marshal. The mayor has
| inaugurated a war against the frail women
of the city and has given the police several
lessons with instructions how to proceed,
Their proceeding in this direction calls then
from their beats and the marshal, who
thinks that all the police business ought to
be done through him, is disposed to make
trouble. He is reported to have prepared
charges against the police for being absent
from their beats, but has as yet not filed
them, and last night he invited a very quiet
looking gentleman whom he suspected OF
being a spy in the employ of the mayor tc
make himself scarce about police headquar
tiers. The plot grows interesting and fur,
ther developments are expected.
