SIGNED THE BILL.
Gov. Nelson Puts His Name to
the Anti-Scalper Meas
uPG.
His Consideration a Bluff-Other
Bills Made
Laws.

Gov. Nelson has signed the anti
scalper bill, and it is now law. Since
its passage, in the excitement of the end
of the session, an effort has been made
bv many travelling men and opponents
of the sitting measure to induce the eX-
ecutiye to withhold his signature, and
he fact that it was not Immediately
signed. led them to believe they might
be successful. 1t now appears that the
consideration was mere bluff, and that
the interested railroads simply 'lald
down" on the governor and compelled
him to sign the bill. The ScalperS say
they will paw no attention to 1t, but go
along as usual, and fight the law should
a test case be made.
