Demand Relief from Overflow.

FREMONT, Neb., Jan. 11.-(Special.)-
There was a good representation of resi-
dents of the south side at meeting called
by Mayor WOLF, at the city hall last night,
to consider the best means for controlling
the Platte river west of town There was
a considerable display of oratory and very
emphatic demand by property owners whose
houses are full of water and their lots
covered with ice. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the county board,
which is now in session, and try to obtain
an appropriation for putting in a levee or
some piling. Those familiar with the
peculiarities OF the Platte say that there
has been great change in the river during
the last three years and that the main cur
rent, which once followed between Murphy
and Hawthorne islands, now comes against
the north bank, directly west of South
street. The Burlington grade from the
brewery south has made the situation much
worse by damming up the water, which
would otherwise flow southeast and cover a
large acreage. The board has been directed
by the city council to put in additional
culverts.

WILLIAMS Acquitted OF MURDER
Jury Holds killing of Father Was
Justihable.


AUBURN, Neb., Jan. 11.-(Special. 1.-THE
Jury in the case of the State against Clar-
ence Williams for the killing of his father,
Isaac Williams, which has been deliber-
ating since Tuesday evening, reached a
verdict of not guilty today at 1 o'clock.
This case was one of the hardest fought
that has been tried in this county for many
years. The killing rose out of a family
quarrel which was commenced in the
house at noon and continued to the barn
yard, where one of the boys asked his
father for money to attend school at Peru,
and his father refused. This seemed to
throw the father into a fit of passion and
he grabbed a pitchfork and started for
the boy saying. TN money you" The
older brother standing near. seeing that
his younger brother was in danger of being
killed by the cnraged father. ran to a shed
nearby and secured loaded shotgun, COM
ing back to where the quarrel was going
on and shot his father in the back as he
was making for his brother with the pitch,
fork, killing him instantly. 1t also de-
veloped that the father had an uncontrol-
liable temper and would fly into a fit of
passion at the slightest provocation, and
it/was all the entire family could do at
such times to keep him from doing bodily
harm to some one OF them.

LINCOLN, Jan. u.-(Special Telegram. y
The report was circulated in the Lindell
lobby tonight that the Northwestern rail-
road, Nebraska's only good" railroad had
began the distribution of passes today. A
party in a position to know asserted that
II any member of the legislature desired
to go home over that road he would be
accommodated with the old-tlme courtesy
by application to Bob McGinnis, the 'legi-
innate" representative of the road In LIN
coin
The report is also current from a reliable
source that the Burlington will lift the ban
the first of the week, and there will be no
need for any legislator to walk home during
the remainder OF the session. The Rock
Island has taken applications for trans
portation under consideration before issuing
any courtesy. and the Union Pacific lobbyist
here denies that his road is going to furnish
any transportation to any one
During the day Representative Jennison of
Clay county returned with thanks an annual
over the st. Joseph & Grand Island rail-
road. Speaker Nettleton did the same thing
yesterday. The Lincoln Traction company
has gotten into the game with free street
car tickets to the members of the legisla-
ture. The tickets distributed are not passes
but the regulation tickets, and are given
away in strips of a half dozen or more
These are so numerous in some quarters
that most any one not in a hurry can afford
to ride.
The fact that the members of the senate
thought the Wilsey resolution. to Jail lobby
lists who came within the jurisdiction of
the upper house and to investigate visitors
was too radical, has encouraged some Of
the lobbyists and they pretend to believe
the good start made by the legislature will
terminate as they have in the legislatures
of the past. This is supposed to account
for the action of the Northwestern today
and the contemplated action Of the other
roads

them, and what is first considered only

ment have themselves actively spread abroad this notion both by words and by acts. It is, however. not only un- true in theory, but it is ludicrously fal- sifed by the facts. As matters are to- day, and as they have been for a gen. eration past, the congress of the Unit ed States, the legislative branch of the national government, is far inferior to the executive and the judicial branches, as a direct and effective representative of the will and purpose of the people of the United States. It is primarily the President and the Supreme court who speak the peoples maturest mind, and who express, in spoken and written Iword, in administrative act and in judi cial decision, the highes. will of the whole people,

If Thaw was not insane at the beginning of the case it is high ly probable that he is now, and there are many others whose interest in it and talk about it have been so abnor- nal that it has been quite noticeable. It is more than a thousand pities that there ever was such a case, and the longer it drags out the more the pities increase.

WEsTMINSTER UNIYERSITY.

Chicago has its university, and Dem yer feels that she will not be complete without one. So under the auspices of the Presbyterian church a new institu- tion, called Westminster university, will be opened in Denver next fall. Prominent citizens of Colorado have given the building and 12O acres of land to the university association. The building was constructed in 1892, with the intention of opening the institution within a short time, but the hard times which ensued upset the plans of the promoters, and it was only recently that the association obtained it's title to the property. The Denverites hope to attract some of the most prominent educators of the country.
 Westminster university doesn't start very grandly, but other universities which are now big have had even less brilliant starts. If some of the prophets speak truly Denver may again be af- fiicted by hard times before the new university can become very flourish ing, but it is to be hoped that she will escape this fate and that the new uni versity will grow rich and respected soon.

-ARnUT NSURPATION.

It is well enough in these muddled times to have things that seem to have been overlooked clearly stated. Thus President Butler of Columbia points out that ever since the civil war the congress has steadily invaded the prov ince of the President, and has long been arrogantly asserting control over his administrative acts. At this moment it is being urged to invade the prerog- atives of the judiciary, and to curtail and regulate the proceedings in equity of the United States courts-a field in which the congress has the same right and authority that it has in Corea or in British India, no more, no less" And President Butler goes on to say that somehow or other the curious notion has been spread abroad that the legis- lative agency, the members of which are chosen at short intervals and by small constituencies, more fully and di- rectly represents the people than does either the executive or the judicial branch of the government.

FEHIM PASHA.

Fehim Pasha, the bad Turk who was exiled from Constantinople by request, or order, of the German ambassador, may be saying to himself, Whats ban ished but set free from daily contact with the things I loathe?" or some thing like that. Anyhow, he doesn't seem to be greatly cast down by his fate. Reports from Bruesa say that he is treated there with every honor and distinction by the local authorities, The splendid konak which was occu- pied lasc year by Count Calico has been refitted for his accommodation, and he now drives about the town in the same gorgeous yellow carriage which used to be a familiar sight in Constantinople. Apparently he feels himself as big a parsonage as ever. A large farm be- longing to the civil list containing ex- celent shooting has been placed at his disposal. No one, of course, believes that he would be the recipient of such attention, except by the express orders of the Sultan, and there is a general conviction that the latter has once more outwitted the foreign ambassa- dors.
 Fehim may not care much for politi- cal disgrace so long as te is loft in. the enjoyment of his customary luxuries and dissipations And perhaps by and by he will be back in power again. Tur- | key is a queer land.
