would remember and do all he could
TO wen up.

tions. Etc., Acted Upon.
Thursday. January ~.

The reading of the Journal was dis.
pensed with in the senate Yesterday
morning. after having been fairly
started, and the senate ut once entered
into consideration of business.
Several new bills were read.
Bills on second reading were then
taken up and referred.
Van Dusen of Douglas moved that
the senate postofice be closed on sun.
days and no salaries for help in that
department be allowed for that day.
The motion carried.
Carmody moved that the committee
OF the whole consider senate file No.
20. Several senators were without
files. Pages brought and distributed
the files. senator Steele took the
chair. Senator Talbot said that there
were only two lines of the proposed
bill which were amendatory of the
law now in force. IL is an net To
amend section 617 of the civil code of
procedure providing for u bond in
appeal cases.
Senator Farrell OF Mcrrick stated
his objections. lie explained the hard.
ship upon persons who might lie
strangers in the community and who
would be unable to get u bond. The
bill he thought wa in the interest OF
the loan and trust companies. who
never made n loan on more than one.
third of the value OF ~ farm.
Mr.. Talbot explained that the oh.
jet of his amendment was to insure
an indemnity to the man who secures
n Judgments awarding him "A piece of
land and the nan in possession goes
to the supreme court to take advapt-
age OF the congcstcd condition of that
court and holds possession of the dis
puted property for perhaps two or
three years, merely under u bond not
to commit waste. This condition, Tai.
bot said. sometimes returned a mans
property to him when the supreme
court finally got around TO the case
after an unlawful possessor had lived
on the farm during the time tho up
peal was pending. The bill proposed
to require u bond that would only
cover "a reasonable rent that would re
imburse him for the time hat his farm
was wrongfully withheld.
O'Neill of Holt thought the bill
ought to be more specific as to wha,
constituted a reasonable rent.
Farrell of Merrick spoke again ir
which he said that the loan companie,
were fairly well taken care of unde,
the present law, but that the injustic,
resulted to the poor man who through
hardship or drouth had found himsel
unable to meet his obligations.
Senator Miller Of Buffalo took tn,
floor in opposition to the bill and sai,
that he opposed huste. lie though
the loan companies were not entitle,
to special credit. They had been gov
erned by selfish considerations. III
thought the senator introducing tn
bill assumed that the man who tool
the appeal to the supreme court wa
always in the wrong.
A division was had on the question
Of recommending the bill for passag
which carried by a vote of Is for an
II against. The fusion members vot

Friday, January go.

yesterday morning new bills were in
troduced. The senate ran out of bust
ness at IL o'clock and o recess was
taken. The discovery of senate file
No. IL on general filc caused the sem
ators to go into committee of the
whole. Senator Miller Of Buffalo, who
introduced the bill. explained that the
object of senate file No. IL was to pro-
hibit the plating of encountered land
into city, town or village lots. lie
said land companies and townsite COM
panies operating along railroads often
plated town lots without going to the
trouble of perfecting title to the land.
He thought a great deal of the trouble
could he avoided in the future by pass
ing n bill of this nature.
Talbot of Lancaster favored the OBJ
ject of the bill, but he believed pro-
vision should also be made for vacating
plated property, Plating had been
overdone in many towns and cities and
relief should be affarded by law.
This proposition was f%avorably re-
ceived, but its incorporation meant an
overhauling of the bill, so the com
rittee of the whole arose without ac-
ton and reported progress.
The committee On e~ngrossed bills re-
ported that senate file No. 20, relating
to appeal bonds, was correctly Gu
crossed. The bill was read the third
time and placed upon its passage. II
was passed by a vote of 81 to 10, re-
pnblicans voting in the affirmative and
the fusionists in the negative. The bill
amends the third subdivision of section
GU, code of civil procedure. relating to
supersedeas bonds. The amended por-
s.A.~ ~ th. lsll -..J. -.
"Third-When the judgment, decree
or order, directs the sale or delivery OF
the possession of real estate, the bond
shall be in such sum as the court, or
Judge thereof In vacation, shall pre-
scribe, conditioned that the appellant
or appellants will prosecute such APP
peal without delay, and will not dur
ing the tendency of such appeal, com
init. or suffer to be committed, n
waste upon such real estate, and IL
the judgment be affirmed, he will pay
the value of the use and occupation Of
the property from the date of the un-
d%ertaking, until the delivery of the
possession pursuant TO the Judgment,
and all costs"
Miller of Buffalo. Canaday Of Kear-
ney, and Prout of Gage were appointed
as a committee to confer with a like
committee of the house to arrange for
tickets OF admission to all joint con
ventions of the two houses.
Half an hour was spent in idleness
by the senate in waiting on the house
to get ready for the noon joint con-
vention.
The senate reconvcned Mt 3. A mum
Der OF Senate files were reported and

Van Dusen OF Douglas presented a
resolution citing that the supplies fur
nished by the secretary of state were
not in accordance with the requisiton
of the senate secretary. directing their
return. and providing hat future sup
plies be secured by the printing com
mittee.
