DAGGER AND THE GROSS. -

Robert b. Mantell, in new romantic
drama, entitled The Dagger and the
Cross. - will be at the Opera House next
Wednesday night. These are days of
dramatized books. Few successful nov
els escape the hands of the playwright.
but the percentage OF literary triumphs
accurately reproduced on the stage is
comparatively small when computa-
tlons are made. A shining exception is
the case Of Joseph Hatton's fine ro-
nance, "The Dagger and the Cross. ."
dramatized by w. A. Tremayne for
Robert b. Mantell. Mr.. Tremayne
wrote Mr.. Mantells last success. "A
Secret Warrant" and when che actor
and his manager, NJ. w. Hanley, need
ed someone to make a play of "The
Dagger and the Cross" they naturally
figured that no better man could be
found. The success of the drama has
proved the wisdom OF their choice.

the most, and he looked as though he
would prefer drink to his lunch any
day In the week. He was told by the
police that they knew nothing about

Saturday. March 2h.

The house passed but one bill yestcr-
day and that was the general appro-
priation bill for the current expenses of
the state government.
The sitting committee recommended
that bills amending Omaha charter be
ortc cd cngrossed for third reading.
Rouse of Hall, who failed to secure
favorable action on the sugar bounty
bill objected when unanimous consent
was asked to advance the charter bills.
Thus IL is that neither the charter bills
nor the sugar bills have much show to
come up.
The house passed "a resolution to
the effect that the request of the gov
ernor asking for the submission of an
amendment to the constitution for the
increase in the number of supreme
court judges, was i'll advised and that
the supreme court commission was the
only feasible way to relieve tie con-
gcstion existing in the court.
In committee of the whole n large
number of bills were considered and
n was agreed to, appropriating $685.
600 for a governors mansion, but pro
vision for purchasing certain lots men
toned was st ricken out and the state
board Of public lands and buildings
was authorized To advertise for bids
for suitable property.

Wednesday. March 90.

The senate yesterday passed the bill
locating the state fair permanently at
Lincoln. the house agreed TO the senate
amendments. and the bill will go to
the governor today. He will probably
sign IL.
The senate concluded consideration
OF the Weaver insurance bill and the
committee of the whole RECOMMENDED
IL for passage. II is believed that there
will not bc more than six votes against
this measure when IL comes up today
or tomorrow for passage. The only
amendments Of importance made by
the senate was one cutting out the dis
eliminating tax OF I per cent against
foreign companies. and another impos-
ing "A tax Of | percent on the net prem
iums of Nebraska fire and life com
panies that transact business for profit.
The bill transfers the insurance de-
partment of the state to the Office of
the governor, and the governor is au-
thorized to appoint an insurance com
missioner.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for
two normal schools. n south of the
Platte and west NJ the Sixth principal
meridian, and the other north of the
Platte, the state board of education to
select the sites, was recommended for
passage after a spirited debate.

THE HOUSE.
ThnrsdRN. March ~.


Yesterday vas n warm day in the
house. The appropriation bin for cur
rent expenses OF the state government
was under consideration for the great
or portion of the day and when it was
disposed OF, the legislative apportion-
ment bill was taken up and com
mcnded for passage. The university
appropriation bill was discussed al
most as long as the salary appropria-
ton bill for the same institution and
after II hard struggle, when at one
tim the measure seemed to bc showed
under. il was rescued by the efficient
work Of the Lancaster county delega-
tion and other friends and recon
mendcd for passage as IL came from
the finance, ways and means commit
tee.
The fight on the university bill was
over the appropriation of S03, 900 for
new buildings which Taylor of Custer
and Cunningham Of Harlan, together
with several others, desired to cut to
$40. 900. The committee of the whole
decided to make this cut but when the
vote came on adopting the report, a
great many new friends were found
for the measure and it was recon-
mended for passage
The Legislative apportionn,ent bill
was recommended in IA similar manner.
after being postponed in committee of
the whole.

John W~.Argabrlght Again on Trial for
h Murder of His Father-in-Lsw.
The trial of the case Of the state OF
Nebraska VS.. John w. Argabright be-
gan at Auburn Monday last before
Judge Lection. This case win be re-
membered as having been tried five
years ago by Judge Babcock, the jury
finding the defendant guilty of man
slaughter and the Judge sentencing
him to ten years in the penitentiary.
The case was reversed in the supreme
court and sent back to Auburn for re-
trial. Judge Letton trying him the
second time, when the jury found him
guilty of murder in the first degree and
he received a life sentence. This YER
dict also was reversed and he comes
back for the third trial. The defense
made a strenuous effort to obtain a.
change OF venue, but were unable to-
do so. 1t is expected that a very large
special venire will be necessary in ordcS
to obtain a jury. Argabright killed
his father-in-law.

Friday. March "a.

The house spent nearly all of ycster-
day passing bills which have been
heretofore considered i'm committee of
the whole. The majority of the meas
ures which received the sanction of the
members were special appropriation
bills for new buildings at the different
state institutions. On one afternoon
recently, bills of this nature were rec
commended carrying appropriations
amounting to Sls2, 200. These were all
passed yesterday. The bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for n new building at the
Lincoln insane hospital vas among the
number. The bill permanently locat-
ing the state fair at Lincoln receiving
tifty-six votes and thirty-scven mega
tive votes. was declared passed.
In committee of the whole, n bill APP
propriating $4,000 for the erection of a
monument to the dead Nebraska sol
dicrs was postponed. IL seemed to be
the sentiment that it was too early Ia
begin work of this character. A bill
appropriating 81. 900 to reimburse Ne,
braska City for the expense of the
smallpox epidemic failed in committee
commended ON being reported back tc
the house. A bill was recommended
for passage reimburSing Thurstor

been held there and which the county
is unable to pay; being about eight o,
ten years behind in the payment q

She Ciings to Her Worthless Lover,

The following sad tale comes from

Beatrice Saturday night to ascertain 10
it was true his wife was in Beatrice
%consorting with n man named Grant

baugh pleaded with the woman to re-
turn home with him and he would
forgive her, but instead of listening to
his pleadings she asserted with con
siderable vehemence that she would
cling 20 Bartram as long as she lived.
she took up the two children and after
kissing them asked Bartram to kiss the
little girl. The father at this point
protested, and for once his will was
law. Yesterday when the police Off
GERS told Bartram to get ready to go TO
the county Jail, the conduct of the two
in the city Jail becoming too offensive,
the woman raved and swore. She
didn't want to be separated from her
lover and declared it was some Of her
husbands work and that she would
kill him at the first opportunity. To
day the pair was taken into court and
arranged on a charge of adultery.
They waived examination and were
sent to the county Jail in default OF
$500 bonds each. Bartram is a man
who is known to nearly every police
officer in the state and some others as
well. Gilbaugh is a highly respected
citizen of Omaha and bore with him
here a number Of letters substantial
ing this. lie says that his wife left
him during the corn carnival week and
came here with Bartram, but hat af-
ter a few days she repented and re-
turned home, promising never to stray
