Monday, March 90.

The state university salary approp-
ration was cut in the house Saturday
from S242, 900, which the committee on
finance ways and means had
mended, to 100000, which the house
saw fit to decide upon us the proper
amount. The reduction was made only
after four hours debate. The final vote
as the bill was reported from the com
mittee of the whole on u motion not
to concur and to let the sum remain at
S242 900, was 80 to A. Twenty persons
were absent when the vote was taken
some Of whom are known to have been
opposed to the measure and who took
this way of ne expressing themselves.
Taylor of Custer, Cunningham of
Harlan and Easterling of Buffalo led
the opposition while the principal
speeches for the appropriation as rec
commended by the committee came
from Pollard of Cass, Weaver of Rich
ardson, McCarty of Dixon and Burns
of Lancaster. The appropriation of
S2l0, 900 is only 81, 200 more than was
Allowed for salariestwo years ago. The
argument was waged along severe
lines, many matters being brought in
the discussion by the opposition to the
appropriation which was not usually
discussed. 1t is reported that the sen
ate will increase the appropriation.
The salary appropriation bill was
recommended for passage with the pro
visions for pay of supreme court com
missioners and their stenographers
striker out.
At noon the house adjourned till
Monday morning at IL o'clock.

The session of the house yesterday
was brief, but exciting. The routine
work started with reports of standing
and special committees, which soon
showed the temper of the representa-
tives on paying the beet sugar bounties
which have been pledged by the state
to manufacturers Of beet sugar, but
which in reality go to the raisers Of
the beets. After numerous calls of the
house it was voted to place these bills
on general file, after refusing to make
them special order. The two bills in
troduced for this purpose appropriate
in the aggregate about SIPS, 900 for
Grand Island and Norfolk factories.
The bills were introduced by Rouse of
Hall county. Two fusionists only vot-
cd with the majority against postpon-
ing the bills. Moran of Platte and Mem
mingcr Of Madison.
Attempts were made to have n sift-
ing committee appointed, and n coteric
of populists and republicans were en-
~deavoring pretty much all morning to
get the consent of enough members tn
have such "A committee. No definite
steps were taken.
The session OF the house yesterday
ended at noon, AS the members were
anxious to adjourn in time to permit
the trip to Nebraska City for the ban
quet of Senator Hayward.

Saturday, March 1S.

The republican members of the house
not in the combine on sitting commit
tee tried yesterday to knock il out but
failed.
The house passed n bill making il a
misdemeanor to use wells for cess pools
and prohibiting the digging of cess
pools deep enough to reach the water
supply. A bill was also passed plac-
ing the district clerk in all counties
on u salary
Quite a little discussion arose over q
bill abolishing the board of transporta.
ton. A bill to provide for but n
secretary OF transportation was recon
mcnded for passage.
After this measure had been disposed
Of, the house in committee of the whole
discussed and agreed to n great many
other bills. Among them was a bill by
Lane of Lancaster providing for a linn
tied number of insurance brokers who
are to write foreign insurance in GER
tain instances and keep track of the
same In order to permit the taxation of
the gross premiums in accordance with
the provisions Of Weaver's insurance
bill.
A substitute for Flynn's eight-hour
bill was agreed to with n provision
reaching the farm laborers and fixing
a days labor for them at ten hours. A
penalty is attached to the bill which
by some is thought to give a loop hole
for many law suits and which may be
cause for amendment when the bill
reaches the senate.

The senate put in a half day Satur
day and the members are therefore en-.
titled to another days pay. During
the time the senate was In session n
few bills were passed and the two ev-
enue bills that have been bothering
the Legislature were reported by the
venue committee. The Pollard bill
from the house was placed on the gen
eral file without recommendation. The
Van Duscn revenue bill, senate file 2iO,
was placed on the general file with n
recommendation that il be passed. As
il Is late in the session it Is believed
the bill will have q hard time to get
through. The Pollard bill Is not un-
dcrstood by the senate and as IL does
not have the recommendation of the
committed on revenue as an endorse
ment its fate Is considered doubtful. II
the Van Dusen bill passes the senate IL
will have a hard time getting through
the house. The prospects for revenue
legislation are not considered bright.
Among the bills passed Saturday by
the senate was one to change the laws
OF punishment 50 that only $50 a
month Of the wages OF heads of fami-
lies may be exempt, except that sixty
days wages shall be exempt from pro-
cess for deficiency debts where proper
ty, real or personal. is held rs security
for the Indebtedness or has been taken
under foreclosure proceedings in salts
faction of the debt. Another bill max.
ing the house and senate journals com
petent evidence in court to impeach
the validity of bills that have been
signed by the governor vas passed.
Holbrook of Dodge is the author OF a
bill that passed. Its purpose is &c
make Saunders county pay its share OF
the expenses of keeping up the Platte
river bridge that crosses the boundary
line between the two counties.
Senator Curric made an effort to Sc
cure action on the Lieutenant-Govern
or's anti-pass bill, but failed. He will
try it again today.
Adjourned to Monday.
