DECIDE TO STOP GAMBLING
PlattsmOuth City Council Instructs
Chief of Police to Enforce
the Order.

PLATTsMoUTH. Neb.. Feb. 11.--Cspe-
cial)-At the meeting OF the city council
last evening Councilman Jesse L. Root
stated that at a meeting some months ago
the council decided to have all the gamb-
ling dens in Plattsmouth CLOSED. and as
number of people had complained to him
recently in regard to the matter, he ex-
pressed himself in favor of renewing the
former order and instructing Chief Of Po-
lice Hyers to enforce the same. Others ex-
pressed themselves as being heartily in ia
vor Of such a move. and a motion to that
effect carried unanimously.
communication was read from County
Treasurer J. l., Barton, calling attention to
the fact that the Bell Telephone company
owed city taxes amounting to the sum Of
&, 900 and interest. The treasurer stated
that because Of former order OF the coun-
ell he had issued no distress warrant In
this case and would not unless instructed
to do so. On motion City Attorney A. j.
-Beeson was instructed to look up the law
on the subject ana report at the next ses-
sion. He was also instructed to ascertain
the amount OF taxes the Plattsmouth Tele-

PROGRESS IN LILLE CASE
Work Of Securing JurT Not So Difficult Is
Had Been Expected,
HEARING OF TESTIMONY BEGINS TODAY
Defendant Looks worn and by Her
Actions shows she Appreciates
the Position In which she
IL Placed.

DAVID CITY. Neb., Feb. 11.-(special.)-
Greater progress was made in procuring a
jury in the Lille case than has at any time
been anticipated. When court adjourned
last evening twelve men were in the jury
box that had passed the preliminary exam
ination, and were passed by the state and
the defense for cause The defense has six
teen peremptory challenges and the state
six, II they desire to exercise them. From
what counsel for both sides said just before
adjournment yesterday evening. It is possi-
BILE that neither side will exercise all OF
the peremptory challenges allowed them
under the law.
1t has been the general opinion that
owing to the fact that the case was pub
lished in the papers at the time Of the
preliminary hearing, the wide and extensive
acquaintance OF the murdered man, together
with the general excitement that was ere
ated at the time the crime was committed
that It would be almost impossible to get
jury in Butler county, but the progress
made demonstrated that this was Q mis-
take. Mrs. Lille seems much more inter-
ested in the proceedings than she did at
the preliminary hearing. She watches very
closely the answers OF the Jurors to the
questions propounded by the attorneys, and
occasionally speaks to her attorneys, pre-
sumably with reference to some Juror who
is being examined for cause. She presents
pale. care-worn appearance, and no doubt
realizes fully the gravity Of the crime with
which she is charged. When the attorneys
would ask juror II he had any consclen-
tious scruples or convictions against rem
dering q verdict of guilty where the evil
dence was circumstantial, and the penalty,
at the option of the jury. was death or i'm
prisonment for life, she would look down
and possibly pick at her handkerchief, thus
indicating that she realized the crime with
which she was charged.
This forenoon seventeen talesmen were
called. The defense exercised five per-
emptory challenges and the state one.

eluding all departments. The attendance
during the second semester. as shown by
the incidental fees paid, is 1,340, which is
good increase over last year. The num-
Der Of incidental fees paid shows very
nearly the entire registration in the regu-
lar course, as but few are excused from
this fee. The rest Of the $500 is made up
Of students in the law schools, the school
OF agriculture, the school Of music and
fine arts and the medical college. In most
Of these colleges there are indications Of
increased attendance. There are now over
200 registered in the school Of agriculture,
while in the law school there is an in
crease of twenty over last year, making a
total Of ITO.
Since the beginning Of the semester
eighty matriculation fees have been col
lected. which is considerably more than
year ago. few of these we're paid by
graduate students. but most Of them we're
by new students. It Is estimated that the
registration for the year will run some

-
Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 14.-After one
Of the busiest days OF the session the
house and senate adjourned for q
week yesterday and the majority Of
the members have gone home. There
was plenty of excitement and debate
in both houses. The most interesting
matter was the house debate on the
personal injury bill, which is being
lobbied for by railroad employees of the
state. The bill came up in general
orders in the house. Buttz of Ransom
sought to have a contributory neglt-
gence clause incorporated in the Eill,
providing that no suit for damages
could be brought by any employees
whose negligence had contributed to
the accident. The amendment was
voted down by an almost unanimous
vote, and subsequently the bill was
reported for passage and passed.
In the senate another hot debate
was had over resolution to appoint
special committee Of six to visit the
Wisconsin legislature and work Tor
the passage of the bill creating sys-
TEN of grain inspection at West Su-
perior. Senator La Moure opposed the
resolution, saying that the member
ship of the committee was confined to
Cass county and that section OF the
state and that the great wheat-groW-
ing section of the northern part or
the state was unrepresented. The res
olution was finally passed. The COM
Dittee consists Of j. r. Turner and
Mattson, Young and Leech from the
house. The senate members have not
yet been appointed, although senator
Talcott of Cass county will probably
be chairman of the committee. Mem
bers will visit Madison during the leg
islative recess. The primary election
bill did not come up yesterday after
noon, friends of the measure being abb
sent from the senate and supporters
not forcing the bill. Senators La
Moure, Gutack and Clarke presented
q minority report asking that the bill
be amended to include county officers
only. They held that the matter was
in the nature Of an experiment and
could be best made upon county Off
GERS before passing sweeping meas
ure, including members Of the legisla-
ture.
Both houses closed up their calen-
dars before going home. Several IN
portant new bills were presented. An
amending bill by Chaffee provides
board of contlll for the state penal
and charitable institutic-s. The I'LL
provides for three members OF the
board to have charge of all state insti-
tutions. Talcott introduced bill pro-
viding for the electrocution system OF
capital punishment in connection with
a bill requiring all executions OF con-
victs to be held at the state peniten-
tiary.
Senator Crane presented the valued
policy clause insurance bill before the
South Dakota legislature for action.
Gov. White will announce his ap-
pointments Immediately after the leg
islature reconvenes.
