The affair appeared to be a practical joke, but Gale did not appreciate its merits and he so stated. II. R. 313 To prevent usury, was reported back to the house by the judiciary committee with the recommendation that it be passed.

Breen offered a resolution ordering all bills printed in regular rotation unless otherwise ordered. The clerk announced that such a rule was already in force and no action was taken upon the resolution. Oakley called attention of the house to the state irrigation convention which was to convene to-day and it was moved that representative hall be tendered to the convention for this afternoon and evening and that the members attend in a body. Carried. Newberry's maximum rate bill, which had been "made a special order for 11 o'clock, was called for, but owing to the absence of nearly half the members it was put off and made a special order for to-morrow morning; at 11 o'clock.

The following bills were introduced and ordered filed for a second reading: H. R. 312, by To provide for holding farmers' institutes and making appropriations therefor. II. E.

U. 316, by Alden To establish a state board of health, to regulate the eer it, therefore he was in favor of having the letter read Cries of "Read "Let's have the letter," came from the right, Scott was among the independents who objected I to the reading. He asserted that the house was no place to settle quarrels between members and constituents.

Gale said it was not a quarrel between himself and constituents and that the letter did not come from bis county. A general discussion followed until Shrader managed to be beard and moved to table the letter. Speaker Elder said something about a letter and Soderman clinched the discussion by moving to "definitely postpone." The motion to table was lost by a vote of 80 to 45 and Clerk Johnson proceeded to wader through the following letter addressed on the envelope to "Dishonorable Gale:" i A. H. Galei Sir: Do you know that you are running a risk of your life in your perfidy and disrespect of your oath.

You have left your friends and constituents when you went into the camp of the enemy of all mankind, namely the demo-republican combine, and the sooner you come to your senses the better for all concerned. I do not want you to understand that I am making any threat or intimidation, but your people at home are expecting some good work from you, and if you go entirely back ou every promise they ought to fiang you, and I do not know but what they will, or they will be doing an injustice to their rising generation. I only write this for your benefit, and hope you will come to the point and act in accordance with good sense, You say that you do not propose to be ruled but will vote and act as you see best. It looks like money talks and you know that in your action with the thugs in the house yesterday looks like they had you foul, but a hint to the wise is good. I will be looking at you when you read this.

Later Mr. IGale: Insomuch as you have showed the white feather and have proven untrue to your trust you are hereby committed to the bands of your friends and we ask that you forthwith move to the north side of the house and take part with your own people vie. the demon-repub combine. All true independents are ashamed to be seen with you and iwell they might be for if you have a good feature we fail to see it. You may think you can fool the people here but when you get home those who worked so hard for your election will know that you are a complete traitor to the avowed principles under which you were elected and if you get brour full due you will swing so high land long that that saltpetre will not save you.

You may laugh at the idea of this note but will you please come -down from your boodle place and think of your betrayed confidence, Gale took thie floor and made a vigorous speech denouncing the writer of the document, concluding with the statement that he could be found at his rooms or in the bouse if any one desired to say anything to his face. He declared that he would take such course as ha saw fit in the future and as evidence that bis constituents were not displeased he referred to numerous letters from his constituents heartily indorsing his actions.

Stewart's reorganized company appeared at the Funke last night in the popular comedy "The Two Johns," which is now in its ninth year. Nearly all the people were new to the company since it last visited Lincoln and the play shows signs of a general refurbishing. The most important change is the introduction of an olio in the second act, which is very pleasing. The piece has been reinforced by specialties all through and they are presented by talented people. The dancing and singing may be called excellent, and some of the features, notably the spade dancing by a young athlete, are new and brilliant.

The audience was fair and the people were well pleased with the performance. MAGGIE MITCHELL. The inimitable actress Maggie Mitchell will appear at Funke's opera house on Friday and Saturday evenings, February 13 and 14, on which occasion she will present two of her strongest and best plays, namely Friday night.

Mary Brigs Again Attempts to Burn the City Jail. Mary Briggs, the irrepressible piecejof femininity who is incarcerated in the city jail, again set fire to that institution at an early hour yesterday morning and narrowly escaped cremation. She was confined in a cell just opposite the stove in the corridor, and tying a piece of paper to a string threw it into the stove retaining hold of the other end of the cord. When the paper became ignited she pulled it into the cell and set fire to the woodwork. Fortunately the fire was discovered in time to save the unfortunate woman's life.

Captain Miller discovered the smoke and rushed back to the cell and found the woman lying on the bench in an unconscious condition. He unlocked the door and dragging her out succeeded in recusitating her. She was afterwards placed in another cell. When the demented creature's sentence expires she will be turned over to the board of insanity commissioners again.

1 Ia the District Court. The following cases were filed in the district court yesterday: Nancy Webster says in her petitiou that she was married to Charles Webster in the year 1890 at Wahoo, that since that time she has resided on a farm in Lancaster county; that defendant, soon after maritial obligations, began a course of harsh, cruel and tyrannical treatment of her, and threatened to hurt her and her children by a former husband, and also threatened to kill plaintiff on or about February 7, 1891. Wherefore plaintiff asks for a divorce and such other relief as equity may require. Angeliue M. McGowan sets forth that she and Albert S.

McGowan were married October 7, 1883. She also avers that, about three months after he married her, he commenced to find fault with her; and about that time he became addicted to the excessive use of strong drink, and abused plaintiff, cursed her and mistreated her; that he repeatedly circulated false reports that she was insane and got the neighbors to believe the same; that his abuse of her resulted in the premature death of their only child; that on July 1884, defendant struck plaintiff in the face with his fist and nearly knocked her down; and again in January, 1885, he struck plaintiff with his first, and in the spring of 1888 he and knocked her down and beat and abused her and tried to kill her, and as a result of said beating her face was black and blue for weeks; and in the year 1889, two or three times at night he choked her without any cause or provocation. For all this bad treatment the plaintiff asks for divorce and such other relief as equity may require. In the County Court. Nancy Webster brings suit in replevin against Charles Webster.

She sets forth in her petition that she has commenced an action against defendant in the district court; that she is the owner of certain goods and chattels on the northeast quarter section 13-11-7 to the value of about that the plaintiff wrongfully detains said property; that she is entitled to the immediate possession of the same. Mary Carman briDgs suit against Phillip Brown to recover the sum of $215.88 for work and labor. The claim was transferred to her from Fisher West-over. Licenses to Wed. The following marriage licenses were issued by Judge Stewart yesterday: Aire.

Nathan Taylor, Lincoln 28 Miss Amanda Harris, Lincoln. 19 Edward J. MeCracken, Lincoln 23 Miss Inez Robinson, 19 At 3:15 p. m. the last named bride and groom appeared before Judge Stewart and he said the words that made them man and wife.

The judge has become an expert at performing the marriage ceremony andthe candidates have found it out. For Sweet Charity. Elder Howe smiled and said, "God bless her," as he read the following note yesterday: "Elder Howe Enclosed find $20, which I hope you will find useful in keeping some of your numerous family warm. Weather like that of the past week reminds me that coal is a necesity. Very truly, "This," said elder Howe, "is the third contribution received from her this winter.

No, I won't tell you the name. It is understood that I keeD that to myself. In both her other contributions she specially charged this upon me." "lou can't always judge of people's characters by thpir vocations, Elder; can you? It may be their surroundings that leads to certain conditions. Don't you think so?" "I will not discuss this question with you, because you will put it in print. My words on this subject may be misconstrued.

The article in The Joi-rnal the other day was a good one and expressed my views. If we are to judge people by their deeds, I know that the writer of this letter Is entitled to a great big credit mark. She is charitable, kind, compassionate, and she never forgets the poor. Some people do. If she has one aught that is wrong, she and her God must settle that matter.

I know only of her good deeds and they are good i n-deed. May the Great Father reward her for her kindness of heart." While Mr. Howe was talking two ladies entered the room and asked for cloth insr. One of them said she wanted her little girl to go to school, but that she was clad neither warmly enough nor well enough to be presentable. The good old man looked sadly disappointed when he said: "I have nothing to give.

There is not a stitch of clothing here that will do for a little girl. I have had eighteen calls for clothing to-day. Our people have sent all their Burplus clothing out west and we have none for our own poor. I am sorry for you ladies and the little girl, also, who is kept from school. I can only do my beat, and in this case I am powerless.

The mother left with a burdened heart and her little one must stay at home because she is too poorly clad to attend the school. Court House Notes. Every person around the court house is as busy as a bee. They are earning their salaries. Grant McFarland went to Omaha yesterday to serve papers in cases before the district court.

Mr. Gillespie, the efficient deputy county clerk, isjback at his post of duty and just as gentlemanly and accommodating as ever. The wife of Owen Sexton received charity from Elder Howe yesterday. She was deserving and received tne aid. Her husband, who was in jail for chicken stealing, was released and told to go home aod take good care of his family or Judge Houston would make an example of him the next time he came before him.

Vas Hourxa's Cocoa Fare, soluble, tconomicai. What the Members of the Senate Think of the Bleasnre. Senator Van Housen I am not a woman suffrage man. Senator Coulter I am not in favor of it, either general or municipal, but then you know I am open to conviction. Senator Beck I shall have to consider the matter; in some localities it might work well.

If I was a strong prohibitionist I should consider that female suffrage would help me out. Senator Wood I am heartily in favor of it, and If there were only two women in the state who wanted to vote, I should be in favor of giving them the right. Senator Warner Those are my senti ments. Senator Michener I am decidedly in favor of it. Senator Hill I am for the women universally learning to be good house keepers, kind wives and loving mot era, and when they are all these they fill to a great extent the sphere of woman, and I favor leaving the voting to the men for a few years yet.

Senator unth ll tne majority ot women want to vote tbey should have the ritrbt. On all reformatory measures I think thev would vote more intelligent ly than the men. Senator Kountz I am willing they should vote in soma cases, as on munici pal and school matters. Senator Day Some women suffer because they cannot rule the world; they are not satisfied with bossing their own families. I think it is just as well that they should stay away from the polls.

Rev. Gearhait, senate Chaplain I have nothing to say. Senator Thomas I have not yet learned to think it is the best thing. Senator Eggleston I am against it. I have always been that way, and am built that way.

Senator Brown Mrs. O. Lynn was- in the other day and gave me a long talk on that subject but she did not convince me. Senator Mattes You know well enough how I stand, I am against it first, last and all the time. Senator Switzler I am against it Senator Moore So am I.

Senator Starbuck Well I will tell you I have been inclined that way, especially as to municipal affairs. I am sure it would be a good thing in our town while in some it might perhaps be otherwise. Senator Collins declined to express an opinion. Lieutenant-Governor Majors I have a petition from my town signed by a hundred of the citizens asking for it I notice my brother's name on the petition, but don't quote me. Senator Koouts I am opposed to woman suffrage, as I believe it would make the lot of woman harder; the world advances by specialties; man should have his, and woman hers, which should pertain to the home.

Senator Schram I am "ferninst" it. Senator Chri6tofferson That is a pretty delicate question for me to ans wer just at this time. Senator Taylor I would not mind giving it a trial. Senator Randall Don't bother me on woman suffrage, Whenever I tell you fellows anything you make me trouble. Senator Williams -I am in favor of it.

The power of the law lies in the consent of the governed, and in this country our consent is expressed by the ballot. Senator Dysart I favor it so far as municipal suffrage is concerned, but not general. Legislative Notes. Four of the senators failed to reach the city in time for the session yesterday. Snow blockades were responsible.

The judiciary committee of the house held a session last night on the warehouse bill and all bills touching stays of execution. The independent leaders made a desperate fight yesterday against the reading of Gale's threatening letter, but the rank and file failed to follow. Representative Hennick is one of the cool heads of the house who does not go blindly into anything, and wants good reasons and all the information attainable before favoring the passage of a bill. Arthur B. Smith assistant general passenger agent of the B.

and Clarence Brown formerly of the Union Pacific passenger department, both of Omaha were looking in upon the legislators yes terday afternoon. Representative Dunn was seriously injured yesterday while attempting to get off a moving train at Fremont His condition caused much anxiety among his fellow members, during the day, but all were pleased to hear that -he was improving. In accordance with the resolution of Senator Stevens, passed last week, the opinion of the supreme court filed January 27, relating to the procedure of the two houses of the legislature in contests of the election of executive officers, has been printed and laid upon the desks of the senators. Hon. A.

E. Harvey of Orleans, was looking on in the senate yesterday afternoon. Mr. Harvey is greatly interested in tho pond system of irrigation and believes that if it is carried out to any considerable extent it will prove of great benefit to the people of the west. Among the railway officials who called at the Iioufse yesterday were; Claim Agent Manchester of the Union Pacific; A.

B. Smith, assistant freight agent of the Union Pacific; Arthur B. Smith, assistant general passenger agent of the B. M. Travelling Passenger Agent Greevy of the Union Pacific.
