the session, Immediately went into commit
tee Of the whole and launched into the
ocean Of birsSon general file. The FIRST
two measures on general file were H. r.
1 and r. 2, both of which were, at the
authors requests, passed for the day.
Kennedy of Douglas attacked H. r. A,
by Shelly of Douglas, an election bill, as a
measure designed to disfranchire the In
mates OF the School for the Deaf and Dumb
at Omaha, most of whom are democrats.
Shelly resented this charge in MS defense
of the bill, but the measure was recon-
mitted for indefinite postponement.
A spirited debate ensued on a bill by Nell
son Of Douglas between Nelson and Loomis
OF Dodge. The bill compels a mortgage
appealing from a degree Of foreclosure by
a lower court to furnish bond for the rent
of the land pending the continuance Of the
action in the appellate court.

calculated TO. work serious hardship upon
property owners and should not be allowed
