Nebraska Equal Suffrage Bill KIuod.
LINCOLN, Neb,, Feb, 1O,--Women of
Nebraska must wait four years at least
before exercising the right of suffrage.
That was the verdict of the lower
house of the legislature yesterday
evening, which, just before adjourn
ment, by vote of Sc to so, decided to
indefinitely postpone the bill provid.
ing for the submission Of q constitu-
tional amendment looking to that end.
This was the only equal suffrage meas
ure pending before the legislature, and
its defeat, it is believed, defers all &c
ton in that direction the present ses.
