Laws Are Too Weak.

The interstate commerce commission sent
its tenth annual report to congress Thurs
day. 1t says the general discomfort with
the present transportation conditions shown
by petitions from so many sections for the
enforcement of the statutes emphasizes the
necessity of amending the laws to give
greater force to the findings and decisions
of the commission. The commission rec
ommends that ticket brokerage on inter
state commerce tickets be made penal
Otfense. A number of other amendments
to the laws are recommended.

Find William Lee Guilty.

The jury in the case of the State VS.. VIM.
l.. Lee on trial at Y ork for a number of days
past returned verdict of guilty as charged
in the Indictment. The penalty is not less
than two nor more than fifteen years i'm
prlsonment. The crime of which Lee has
been found guilty was committed on the
night OF September Is, when he threw a.
rock at A. Bissell from ambush, with the
evident intention of disabling him. The
murder was to be committed with a hatchet.
which was found at the spot where the as
sault occurred. The object of the at
tempted assassination was to obtain the
insurance money on policy on Bisselrs
life held by Lee. The plot to wreck the
burlington train was the starting point and
the end of subsequent attempt on Bis
sells life. The case will probably be ap-
pealed.

States Exchange Pieces Of Land

1t IS to be hoped that the findings of the
joint commission between this state and
South Dakota, the members of which were
appointed by the governors under a law
passed by the respective legislatures of the
two states two years ago, to define the
boundary line between the two states, will
be confirmed by the Nebraska legislature.
By this report, which is unanimous, the
state will come into control of Bon Homme
Island, which is over ten miles long and
contains about 100000 feet of timber, and
and cedes in return worthless sand belt

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
Multiplex Printing Telegraph wiz
Soon BE on the Market

ooOh DC CA NIdfhSl
The multipleX printing telegraph in
vented by Prof Henry A. Rowland, of the
Johns Hopkins University, will soon be
put upon the market. By the instrument
an operator can transmit telegram writ
ten upon typewriter and have it repro
duced in typewriter form at the receiving
end. In addition to the typewriter part
of the invention, DR.. Rowland, with his
new machine, can send over the same wire
five or six different messages at the same
time in one direction, which, in duplex
makes ten or twelve messages that can be
transmitted on the same wire at the same
time. Thus, with five operators at each
end of line, sending each an average of
thirty words minute, 800 words can be
transmitted each minute.

Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. Omaha:
the Home for Feeble Minded Youth,
Beatrice; the Soldiers and Sailors Home.
Grand Island; the Industrial School for
Boys, Kearney, and the Norfolk Hospital
for the Insane. The visiting and exam
ming board has also filed its reports of
both the Grand Island Home and the Mil
ford institutions. These reports are all on
file with the governor, but they are not all
addressed to him. Some of them are ad-
dressed to the board of public lands and
buildings, though by what authority is not
known. The statute distinctly provides
that these reports shall be sent to the gov
ernor. Upon this subject there is con-
siderable conflict of opinion and in his re-

attention to clash of authority and sug-
gests remedy. The reports so far filed
are very voluminous, and evidently have
been prepared with great care In num-
