Noah zane,s Barn, at Pleasant valley,

Noah Zane's Barn, ut Pleasant Valley, IL
Destroyed.
At an early hour yesterday morning
the barn OF Noah Zane, at Pleasant
Valley, east Of the city, was discovered
to be on FIRE, and such progress had the
flames made that in the absence Of any
adequate means Of Sighting the fire it
was impossible even TO check the
flames, and the barn and its contents
were entirely destroyed.
The most lamentable feature Of the
blaze was the fact that Mrs. Zane's tine
driving horse was in the stable, and was
burned to death. lie was a valuable
animal, and much thought Of by the
family. A carriage and buggy were
also destroyed, with hay, grain. harness
and other articles, making the loss in
all probably 81, 800. TheP Peabody Conn
pany held policies on the stable for 500.
The horse for $500, and the carriages,
iced, ETC., for $500. in all $500.
Just before the fire broke out young
son Of Mr.. Hamilton, neighbor, was
looking toward the stable. and he saw
man leave it and walk down the
road toward town. It is thought he
was tramp, and probably he accl-
dentally started the fire while smoking.

COMBINES ARE IN ORDER.
An Interesting Political Situation in the
Nebraska Legislature.


Nebraska Legislature.
OMAHA, Jan. g. - Today at Lincoln
opened one of the prettiest three cornered
fights ever witnessed in legislative ses-
sion. Neither of the three parties has
sufficient strength to organize either house
of the Nebraska state assembly without
the assistance of the other two. and thus
far no plan of fusion combination has been
presented that meets the approval of the
parties interested. 1t seems quite probable.
however, that the Democrats and indepen-
dents may get together before tonight. In
addition to the election of United States
senator to succeed Senator Paddock the
legislature will be called upon to deal with
important railroad legislation and other
matters of vital interest to the state.
The House the Key of the Situation.
For these reasons comes the Importance
of controlling the organization of the
house that constitutes the body as the party
holding the organizati on can control the
legislation. 1t was suggested Sunday night
that the anti-monopoly members of the
legislature, irrespective Of party, organize
tie body and let the senatorial fight take
care of itself. One of the peculiar features
is the situation in Knox county. By de-
cision Of the supreme court rendered Sat-
urday Republican will be sent to the
house from that county instead of an indie.
pendent. To accomplish this it is neces-
sary to serve the courts writ on the county
clerk of Knox county.
A County Clerk on the Run.
When the bailiff reached Niobrara, the
county seat. on Saturday evening he found
the county clerk, an Independent, had been
warned of his coming and had decamped.
The bailiff is now chasing the fugitive
clerk from place to place in order to obtain
service on him. But it is too late to COM
ply with the courts order and have the
Republican member present at the open
ing session. Unless the combination last
mentioned is made effective the house and
senate will probably spend the week get
ting organized.

CoioradO's Legislature Blessed with an
Embarrassment of Parties.
DENVER, jan. 3-Indications are that
the Colorado legislature will not organize
without big row. The Republicans have
small majority in the house, but the
Populists and Democrats have been hust-
ling and claim that they will organize the
body when it is called to order tomorrow.
They claim to have secured the pledges OF
two Republicans to aid them.
The Fun Centers in the Senate
The great interest, howe yer. will center
In the organization of the senate. OF the
thirty-five member rs fifteen are Republic
ans, twelve are Populists and eight Demo
Gratis, the latter holding the balance of
power, which-in this particular case-may
mean something be yond mere obstruction.
There are all sorts of rumors of combina-
tions. One is that the Republicans, de-
spalrlng of any accessions of strength from
the Populists, will act with the straight
out Democrats in organizing the upper
house.
Indications Are for Hot Winds
Some oyertures to this effect, it is stated.
have been made by Republican leaders, but
as only few of the Democratic senators
are in the city their inclinations are not
known. From all appearances the proba-
bihty is that there will be three separate
caucuses and hot times in the dignified
body from the moment it meets

Speaker Crisp has studiously refrained
from giving out any statement as to what
passed between Cleveland and himself,
something in the nature of a statement on
"good authority" is passed around among
the Democratic leaders. This runs to the
effect that while no final decision will be
made on the question of an extra session of
congress until February, by which time the
cabinet of President-elect Cleveland will
probably have been selected, the probabili-
ties are decidedly against an extra session
of congress before next autumn.
May Depend On a House Committee
Cleveland, it is said has said to Demo
cratic leaders in congress that he will call
congress together in special session. He
also told them, it is reported, that it would
lot be convoked before autumn unless the
financial situation and the condition of the
treasury made it absolutely imperative
that congress should meet in the spring to
provide the government the necessary
amount of revenue to meet its expenses
Very soon after the holiday recess the
subcommittee of the house committee on
ways and means, appointed to investigate
the condition of the treasury, will begin
Its work. On the result of its investi; T.
'iOh may possibly utpelu GIle IlIne at WllcD
congress is called together.
Looks Well for an Early Extra.
A conclusion on the part of the majority
of the subcommittee that there will be an
actual deficit in the treasury unless addi
tlonal revenue is raised might induce Cleve-
land, it is thought, to alter his views with
reference to al extra session in the spring
but no other consideration that will bring
about such a result is now foreseen. 1t is
the opinion of some of the leading Demo
Gratis in the house that the investigation
will show that the treasury receipts and
expenditures are very nearly equal at pres.
ent and that there is grave reason to fear
an excess of the latter in the coming fiscal
year.
