The Second District Vacancy,

Ine ScCOnu DlSVrICJ taCduCy.y
The death of Congressman Laird of the
Second district, will doubtless precipitate an
unseemiy scramble for the place, and to-day
there are probably fifty or a hundred
men in that district engaged in the very
arduous duties of erecting lightning rods.
A we'll posted correspondent said to THE
BEE correspondent this morning that it
would be difficult to count the number Of as
pirants. Among the leading ones, he men.
toned the Hon. N. V. Harlan, John M.
France and Judge Post of York county;
x-Governor Dawes, Judge Morris and
George II. Hastings, of Saline county; John
Jansen, of Fillmore county; Judge Norval.
of Seward county; Smith Caldwell, Of Muck
oils county; John b. Dinsmore, of Clay
county; General O. j. DilwOrth and Harry
Bostwick, of Adams county; Gilbert l..
Laws, of Red Willow county; Judge Gasln,
of Harlan county; McNinny, of Webster,
and oh, so many more.
1t would seem that the matter OF filling
this vacancy was simple enough, and yet 1t
will be found to be attended with some pc
culiar complications. If there is to be ses-
sion of congress in October, and President
Harrison would issue his proclamation
complications would vanish. Section bl OF
chapter 20, the election law, provides for the
canvass OF the vote where member Of con-
gress is elected. II says that this vote shall
be canvassed by the legislature at its next
regular session. The Nebraska legislature
will not meet in regular session until Janu-
ary, 1891. Therefore, should man be
elected TO fill this vacancy, how will he get
his certificate Of election and gain admission
into the house of representatlyesa Sections
los, 100, 110 and Ill of the same chapter
shed some additional light on the question.
They provide that when a vacancy occurs in
the office of representative In congress, and
that body convenes prior TO the next general
election, the governor shall order special
election 10 fill such vacancy at the earliest
practicable time, and ten days notice
of such election shall be given. II is
further provided that in such cases the board
of canyassers shall meet at IL o'clock IN, on
the third day after such election, to canvass
the votes cast at such election, and the
county clerk, within four days after the spe-
cial election, shall transmit 10 the secretary
of state an abstract Of the vote cast. Also.
that within ten days after the special cleo
tion the state board of canvassers shall meet
and canvass the votes. Thus, # special
session of congress is called, u is easy TO see
how this vacancy might be filed, and the
party receive certihcate OF election. But
would this carry him before the extra ses-
sioni Possibly.
There is still another problem. Section 81
Of said chapter provides that the votes for

parents in kentucky. When he arrived he
found his sister dead and afterwards his
father died. The doctor himself soon fol-
lowed. From Childhood Lucy was the
sweetest girl ever saw. She was pretty,
but that was not her chief attraction.
1t was her lovabe nature that won al
hearts. aud her friendship, once secured,
knew no change She was always, UP 10

devoted friend, and more charming WON

The Hemp-Smokers of Africa.

new and curious sect has recently
grown up in Africa. the Bena- Riamba
or "Sons Of Hemp" society of hemp
smokers who, calling themselves
Friends are bound together by ties
o! mutual hospitality. 1t has had some
new light thrown upon it in the ac-
count of journey up the Kasai by
Charles Somerville Bateman: "Its
init tory rites are profound and un-
fathomable mystery, and whether TO
describe it as secret brotherhood, q
religion or a society for the prOpagu-
ton OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, am uncertain.
SO far as the smoking of lhiamba
(hemp) Is concerned there can be no
reas enable doubt but that the Match
ioko introduced it primarily for the pur-
pose Of fraud, since persons under the
influence OF that poisonous narcotic
are temporarily insane. and therefore
at the mercy OF the first cruel and
crafty trader that come across them
Another authority. however, thinks
that the society grew out of politi-
cal revolution among the Bashilenge
people in 1870. when the Progressist
party broke down old commercial bar
rles, and the custom OF bhang or hemp
smoking was introduced from Zanzibar
to become zone OF the most baneful
institutions in Central Africa

How She Attracted Notice.

This little incident-it Is a true story
occurred a few days ago in Philadelphia.
The owner Of large retail store gave q
holiday To all OF his employees in the middle
OF June. Cashiers, foremen, salesmen and
women, cash BOYS and porters, all were
invited TO spend the day on the grounds OF
the country seat owned by the employer.
Tents were erected "A bountiful dinner aud
supper were provided. a band was stationed
in the grove. and special trains were char
tered TO carry the guests to the country and
home again.
Nothing else was talked of for weeks be-
fore the happy day. The saleswomen,
most OF whom were young, anxiously
planned their dresses and bought cheap
and pretty muslins, which they made up IN
the evening, that they might look fresh
and gay. Even the cash boys bought
new cravats and hats for the great 0cca-
sion,
There was one girl, whom we shall call
Jane, who could not indulge herself in any
pretty bit of tnery. She was the only
child OF IA widowed mother who was para
lyZed. Jane was quick and industrious,
but she had been but a few months IN the
store and her wages barely kept her
and her mother from want

"And | think / will go. Mother wishes

"But you can't dance or play croquet in

at is always fun to see other people have
fun, " said Jane, brayely.
The day came, bright and hot, and Jane
went in her heavy well darned dress. She
gave up all idea Of fun for herself and
set TO work TO help the others find II. On
the cars she busted herself in finding seats
Tor the little girls and helping the servants
with the baskets OF provisions. On the
grounds she started games for the children,
ran To lay the table, brought water TO the
old ladies, was ready 10 pin up torn gowns,
or TO applaud "a good BALL. she laughed
and was happy and friendly all the time.
She did not dance nor play, but she was
surrounded by cpeertul, merry group
wherever she went.

ployer. who was "a shrewd business man,
beckoned 10 his superintendent

Give her good position. That young
woman in black and he pointed her
out.
The next day Jane was promoted into
one of the most important departments
and since that time her success has been
steady
The good nature and kindness of heart
which enabled her to "hnd fun in seeing
others have fun, were the best capital for
her in her business She had the courage,
too to disregard poverty and to make the
best Of life, courage which rarely fails to
meet its reward.
