Lincoln, March lathe defeat Of
the bill to establish two new normal
schools, the failure to override Gov-
ernor Dietrich's veto Of n s75, 800 build
ing nj the Peru normal school and n
combination OF anti.Thompson men In
the house with f%usionists for the APP
pointmcnt Of n committee on final ad+
j%ournment, afforded enough excite
ment In the legislature for the balance
OF the week.
II was exciting in the house. The
fun started early in the day and lasted
till o o'clock. The first round was the
veto Of the Peru normal appropriation
bill. The message of Governor Die
trich was read regarding this and
stamping the bill with his disapproval.'
The speaker ruled that the question
of passing the bill over the veto Of the
governor came up under the laws OF,
the state without the formality OF n
motion by Armstrong to that effect.
The roll call, taken without discussion,
resulting In 10 members favoring the

posed TO the passade. A number OF
calls OF the house were had and the
house were not allowed TO proceed 10
business till the time when the sen-
ate was expected for the joint session.
The fight to secure the necessary,
thrce.ifths majority Of sixty was given
up after two hours, work. Only six
members opposed the bill when it was
passed.
The game bill, house roll No. 1873,
had n close call during the day in the'
house. When the measure was con-
sidered at great length In committee
OF the whole, there was almost no OPP
position. stock well of Antelope, OPP
posed the measure yesterday and tried
to defer the action of the house on
final passage till other game bills
could be con sidered. These are buried,
deep on the general ale and the action
would have been equivalent to killing
the measure as the senate postponed
it's game bill in anticipation of this
measure coming from the house. After.

The house members were taken quite
by surprise last evening at q o'clock by
McCarthy's making u motion TO APP
point Hatborn, Jouvenat, Whitmore,,
Sprecher and Ream as the house com-
mittce to act with u like COMMITTEES
from the senate on fixing q date for
final adjournment of the legislature.
The motion carried, roll call on an
amendment to give the speaker the
power TO appoint the members Of the
committee resulting In 81 yeas and ~
nays. Taylor, of Custer, then moved
to reconsider the motion and this was
lost.
The intent Of this action was quite
puzzling to the members of the house.
Once before Taylor made a motion for
the appointment of q committee on
final adjournment, but IL lost. This
time the motion came from n republic
can, and IL is noticeable that the three
members on the committee from the
republicans are apti-Tbonpson repub-
leans. All the Thompson members in
the house at the time opposed the mo-,
ton but they were not in sufficient
numbers to accomplish what they were
after. They tried to adjourn without
effect. The motion TO reconsider was
made by Taylor of Custer county on
the theory that the motion once recon
sidered, may not be reconsidered again,
This matter was brought up once two
years ago and Speaker Paul Clark
then ruled that a motion could not be-
twice reconsidercd, that is, the motion
could not be made twice, having failed
the FIRST time. The fusionists are anx-
ious for an early adjournment and
have several times suggested April ~
IL the house can induce the senate to
appoint u committee At once, the rec
ommendation of the joint committee
may be for an early adjournment which
would hasten the termination Of the
senatorial fight. :.
