As to the origin Of aerolites or
mctcoritcs but little that is reliable
Is certainly known. However a
great many theories have been adj
vunccd to account for the known
fact that they visit us and, there
fore, must originate either inside or
outside our atmosphere. 1t is the
opinion Of the learned Tschermal
that they are Of volcanic origin and
are probably hurled from volcanoes
on the moon. Other scientists,
equally eminent, disclaim the
T4chcrmal theory and insist that the
moon ID II dead world and that there
are no active volcanoes on its sur
face.

For the Benefit or Teachers.

LINCOLN, Neb,, March Especial to THE
BEE. SENATOR Roche says his bill for regis
tering the orders of school districts is for the
benefit of teachers III country schools.
"There are many school districts in the
sparsely populated parts of Nebraska too
poor to pay theirl teachers properly" he ex-
plains, land the latter have to take orders
on the treasurer. These orders may be out
for year before there are funds for their
payment, and thenthe teacher conducting
the school at the time may step in and take
all the money, while the order of the year
before goes unpaid. The result is great
hardship to the country school teachers. Be
cause of the uncertainty of payment they
have to give big discount, often as high as
as 20 per cent, to get their orders cashed.
The object OF the bill is this: The district
treasurer must keep a register of the orders
issued, and they must be paid in rotation as
issued. When funds, are received he must
send notice by mail to the holders of orders
entitled to payment. BY this means bankers
and others who buy these orders will be
enabled to calculate on the time of payment
ami the discount will be greatly reduccd.'

The Charter in Peril.

LINCOLN. Neb. March 4.-lSpecial to THE
BEE THE efforts of interested parties to
secure a modification by the senate of the
Omaha charter bill, in respect to the street
paving clause, if successful will almost GER
tainly defeat the measure. Should the bill
be sent back to the house the Douglas county
delegation will be divided, and there is a
powerful combination on the floor of the
house who are determined not to allow the
bill to take up any more time. If they get a
suspicion that the bill has been tampered
with in the interest of corporations, they
will kill it. Some of the members of the
Douglas delegation who favored giving the
street car companies two years exemption
from paving, now say that the senate must
put the bin through just as it came from the
house, or Omaha will not get a new charter
IL is understood that the senators from Doug
las have agreed TO several changes suggested
by special interests, and, as one member ex-
pressed it, i'Unless the schemes OF these
designing parties are frustrated the people
of Omaha won't know the bill when 1t passes

past due. The payment has not been en-
forced becauselit was believed this legtsa
ture would pass ameasure of relief. These
past due notes are epaying interest, but now
that the legislature has refused TO extend
them they will be collected and turned into
the permanent school fund. The probability
is that before the next session of the legisla-
lure there will be,fully sl,000,00o due. The
books show this state OF facts on November
30, 1883: No
OF the moneyofths fund there were in
vested in United States and state securities,
aud registered county bonds, the aggregate
sum of 81, 500 ,010, which will have to be re-
invested from time to time. The was bal

is liable to immediate collection. Thore are
655,OOO acres OF school lands that have not
yet been leased or sold. There are l,421, OOO

The friends of the state treasurer account
for the large balances in years past with the
statement that it has been difficult TO get the
prescribed securities, and yet, IN the face OF
the millions to come into the permanent school
fund, they oppose the proposition TO make the
bonds of the school districts of Nebraska
available for Investment, and they have no

The Regents Alarmed.

LINCOLN, March 4.-[Special TO The BEE. |
Tho regents of the state university are
alarmed and pleading for mercy. They have
been supporters of Prof. Billings, but now
are willing to sacrifice him TO save their APP
preparation. An officer of the university
who is on the floor of the legislature daily in
the interest Of that institution, has suggested
that the proper method to reach Billings is
by resolution. He has given it out that the
regents would be guided by a request from
the legislature for the removal of Billings,
''only don't cripple the state university by
cutting down its appropriation"
Tho sentiment of the senate is clearly
against the professor, but his persuasive in
hueuce is getting ia its work in the house.
The feeling of the senators Is not SO much
against the innoculation theory or the work
of experimenting as IL is against Billings per-
sonally. He is regarded as quarresome,
jealous, cranky egotist who is setting the
various state departments at swords points
and bringing disrepute upon the state. 1t is
argued that there are other scientists as
capable as Billings, others who can push the
hog cholera theory to it's conclusion as we'll
as he, and who will attend to their legiti-
mate duty without abusing other state de-
partmentS or firing hot shot into republican
candidates. Prof, Billings admits that he
has made mistake In these respects, but
the confession comes late. He says he has
frequent offers of moro remuneralive po-
sitions, claims to have refused a S6, 600 place
last week, but he announces that being in IA
fight he will see it through if 1T takes a head,
officially.
The proposition to establish an independ-
ent agricultural college comes late in the
session. There has been no preceding agl-
tation, and there may be TOO much inertia
and too little time TO give the propos ition
even careful consideration. 1t will bring the
matter under discussion, however, and may

President Church Howe on record as declar-
ing the motion for a recess lost when IL
actually had fifteen ayes to nine nays Howe
defended himself with the statement tnat
the secretary gave hum the vote as eleven TO

go over the seeretary's poll list. He also
asserted that on account Of the numerous
motions and the several changes, he had sug-
gested at the time that the vote be taken u
second time, which was fact, but the sug-
gestion was not acted on Secretary Seeiey
explained that in making the changes in ths
tally sheet the result became mixed. He
gave the vote as eleven to eleven with
request TO the president TO have the
roll called again. The record was left
in a contradictory condition. Church

Virginia.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March AT noon
to-day General Gof, republican candidate
for governor, ana claimant of the Office, took
the oath In one of the rooms OF the state
house set apart for the use of the governor.
About the same time. in another apartment,
President Carr, Of the senate also took upon
himself the prescribed oath and prepared

Office, while in his private Office f.
w, Wilson, who has filed the office for the
past four years, continued to discharge his
accustomed duties. In and about the state
house there was gathered tremendous
crowd OF people about equally divided be-
tween the two political parties.
About l2: 80 O'clock General Con- and sew
eral friends came into the capitol and pro-
ceeded TO the private office OF Governor VIII

Der Of his friends. General Gof

DAVID CITY, Neb., March 4.-TSpecial to
THE BEE. Pete Anderson, q brakeman, had
his left hand badly crushed between two
drawbars, while making a coupling in the
Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley freight
yard here at o'clock this morning. Ander-
sons wife was id the caboose of the train at
time and the plucky fellow went to the doc
tors Office with the conductor, leaving her In
ignorance of the accident, hoping to spare
her feelings, but remained under the nflu-
ence of chloroform so long as to cause alarm
and she had to be notified. Anderson was
nearly thrown under the train the same
night at Henderson by having his foot caught
between two ties while he was between the
cars coupling, but wrenched his foot out of
the shoe and saved his life. He had pre-
sentiment that he would be hurt that night
and wanted to lay off, but was laughed into
going on.

Politics at WahoO,

WAHoo, Neb., March 4.-[Special 10 THE
BEE. In the coming spring election the
issue will be high license, low license or no
license on the liquor question, boom at any
cost, or conservative, substantial improve
ments, on the question of public works, and
the acceptance or rejection of the water
works contract
After trying both low license and prohibit
tion, Wahoo decided on the happy mean of
high license, and elected mayor and coun-
Gil to carry out that idea, and the people gen
orally and especially the solid business men
of the town are decidedly in favor of contin-
uing the present policy.
Two years ago the then mayor and council,
made contract with the American Water
works and Guarantee company for twenty
years to furnish water TO the citizens who
desired 1t at not to exceed stipulated rates.
These rates were exceedingly high. They
also contracted for fire protection at 5000
per annum. A great many of the citizens
fought the question ut the polls last spring,
and elected mayor and council that would
not ratify the contract and in the
meantime a suit was begun in the
district court to test the validity of the con-
tract made with the waterworks company.
This suit is pending now and will probably
be decided at the March term of the district
court. The waterworks company it is said,
will spend some money to elect mayor and
council that will ratlfy their contract, and it
has been rumored that they had offered
prominent citizen $500 in waterworks bonds,
to support ticket friendly to their interests.
